Sonic Boom: Tails Crush Review. They Gave Him Another One XP
10 years ago
General
Hello Internet, I am the Star Warrior and this is my review of Sonic Boom: Tails Crush.
So why does everyone think that Tails “needs” a love interest. It’s people like this that has led to the creation of some of the worst Sonic characters I have ever seen. First there was Fiona Fox who later turned into an ass hole and as I understand it tried to kill Tails on a number of occasions. Then there was Cosmo the most depressing Sonic character that has ever been conceived, the moment you start to get used to the girl she ether tells you how hopeless a situation is or they throw in something like she has been implanted with some kind of spy device and if it was ever removed she would go blind…AND SHE DIES IN FRONT OF TAILS!!! Now we have Sonic Boom’s attempt to give Tails a love interest, Zooey. Who is Zooey you might ask, good question because the writers of the TV series that killed the sonic gaming franchise refuses to tell us anything about her.
So our episode starts off with the typical hit or miss Sonic Boom humor. In case you didn’t know this about Sonic Boom, their humor mostly consists of them throwing out the first joke they can think of and hope that it sticks, FYI, most of the time it does not…except for the beginning of this episode thank god! Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are out in the desert trying to break the record for the world’s fastest wheel barrel race, shouldn’t be too hard considering that it’s Sonic doing the running but new bulky versions of Knuckles is the wheel barrel add a bit of extra weight. However this doesn’t slow Sonic one bit as he charges forward, pushing poor Knux thru every sharp object imaginable. Now you would think this would be the perfect spot to introduce but they don’t. In fact this would be the perfect spot to have Zooey walk in, introduce a bit of her character, distract Tails a bit form what he’s doing, then lead into the punch line of the joke where he forgets to stop the stop watch and asked Sonic and Knuckles if they could run the cores again. But nope, they just have Tails zone out, imply that he had already met the girl, and then they deliver the punch line. Now I know that I might be mimicking the Nostalgia Critic by saying this but this is something that I have been thought all the way through grade school when it came to telling a story. SHOW IT DON’T SAY IT!!!
Sorry I’m putting so many caps in this review but this TV show really gets under my skin. I’ll probably do a review of the TV show as a whole but to give you an idea of why this frustrates me so badly, other that it single handily killed the Sonic games, is that they have a good reference of a decent Sonic cartoon that was aired back in the 80’s. In fact Sonic is the only video game franchise that has ever came out with a good cartoon show, but instead they picked to bass this off of the “other” Sonic cartoon show that was aired in the 80’s, which is still considered to be the worst depiction of Sonic ever put to TV.
Anyway, as our story continues, Eggman is trying to get a package from some mail turtle and I will admit this is a really good run on joke that they have going throughout the entire show, Eggman trying to get his package but the turtle’s mail policies kept getting in the way, in fact the episode probably should have focused on this as Eggman’s little adventure was probably the best part. The rest of the time I was pulling my hair out. After Eggman loses his temper he sends his robots after the turtle and sonic and his gang try to stop him. However Tails is derestricted by fox booty, leaving his friends to fight alone. I’m sorry but if my attention was to be focused on ether a lovely lady or the giant robot try to kill me…I would be trying to beat the carp out of said robot just to impress said lady :3
So after Sonic and the gang beat the robot and ask Tails what planet he’s on we finally find out that he has been crushing over a girl that…looks a little odd for him to be honest. http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb.....0/0a/Zooey.png As is the case the last few times Tails was faced with this situation, he has he idea how to talk to the girl so he dissidence to ask around for advice starting with Sonic, and as we all know Sonic isn’t the best person to go to for advice on woman. After a really creepy cross-dressing scene, tails tries Sonic’s advice and of course it doesn’t work, so he then goes to Knuckles…Whyyyyyyyyy? Not only is this Knuckles a complete and utter ding-a-ling but he lost to Donky-Kong!!! He has so lost all of my respect right now. So long story short, Tails goes to each of his friend asking them for advice and none of them work. He even goes to Sticks who makes him do some strange interruptive mating dance in town square. I swear she is the only reason why I even consider watching this show. Eventually it is Eggman who helps him get the girl by telling him to be himself. I’m sorry but haven’t I seen this episode before on other TV shows? I’m not kidding this same story line has been used in shows like Duck Tails, Ghost Busters, even Star Trek! Now Sonic is pulling this crap!
Anyway the final verdict for this Sonic Boom: Tails Crush is it sucks. The new romantic interest for Tail doesn’t really have any chemistry with the guy, we hardly know anything about her, and the story is ripped off of other, beater TV shows. The only reason why I watched this episode was because I heard that someone else has come up with a new love interest for Tails, so I went to see if they did any good with this character. All I can say is at least they didn’t kill her off in the last act like they did with Cosmo or turned her into some nut. But to be honest with you I was one of the people that thought that Tails and Sticks were going to get together. They do seem to have a lot more chemistry then any of the other couplings that they have given Tails, Sticks even seemed a bit jealous in this episode when she found out that Tails had a crush on a girl that we hardly know. In fact I would be surprised if she gave him bad advice just to scare Zooey away. I’m telling you that little badger is smarter than she looks.
But to go back to my earlier question, why dose Tails “need” a girlfriend. Not that I have a problem with it but at least let it happen naturally as opposed to creating Ken or Minnie Mouse who were characters that were created solely to give another character a love interest. People are now a lot more interested in things that have a basses in real life and no one is really “made for each other” romantic relationships are not perfect, there is always something that will drive the other completely batty. The reason why people what Sticks and Tails to get together is because the characters complement each other very well. They are both incredibly smart, but at the same time polar opposites of each other, they tend to get along very well, and to top it off Sticks is really great character (If done right) Zooey has no character. We don’t know anything about her personality, we don’t know her likes or dislikes, and we have only just met the girl. The only thing they have in common is that she’s a fox, that’s it.
Anyway this is just my opinion. Feel free to post your thought on this down below and pray that they don’t do to Zooey like they did Tails’ other girlfriend and reveal that she is actually Cthulhu in disguise and is only dating Tails so that she can devour his brains…grate now I’m starting to sound like Sticks.

And honestly I actually like this show it's pretty funny to me, the snarky humor fits Sonic's character stuff with Knuckles is funny I like Amy's character much more in this than the original. Idk it just appealed to me more I guess... It's way better than the video game that's for damn sure. And I'll dare say this is the better Sonic animated show by far. But that's just me...
So yeah I agree that this is one of the better sonic shows out there, mind you that's not saying much. In this show Sonic is back to being a smart ass, Amy is no long chasing Sonic like an addict, Tails is a little more mature and actually has a personality other than the cute smart fox, and Knuckles now has a character out side of Knux Smash! And there isn't a Chaos Emerald to be seen.
Still it could be a lot better but in this last episode I did at least notice that they improved some of their humor so they are getting better. Hopefully if they make a season 2 most of the problems with this season will be long gone. Who knows they might even take the results of this episode and let it lead into a fun little love triangle between Tails, Zooey, and Sticks. I would love to see how Sticks would try to get Tails attention away from this girl.
...Oh and Big's gone, that's a plus two :3
Last word... stealthy pun?
Also, it's spelled "dies", not "dise".
And I am sorry for your negative toward that episode - I do agree that it's awful and recycle from other shows. But at least they pulled it out of their ass and showed it.
And yeah I noticed the little pun as I was typing it down. Didn't think that anyone would notice so I didn't bother to change it. But oh the irony that most of the jokes that do stick come out of Stick's crazy mouth.
As for the episode, some part of it was good others not so much. Normally I wouldn't have any problem with stealing other peoples stories if they put their own spin to it but they only do so near the end where again Sticks is the one comes up with the best skit, making Tails dance along like a chicken and Eggman of all people is the one to slap some sense into the boy. Still I was groaning though most of it because I'm purity sure Tails should know better.
And you're welcome. So I am the first one to notice that?
