Sonic Primeis a show made for babies, but that is no excuse.
Some of the most influential media of the past ten years have been shows made for babies.
Even therecent movieswere primarily aimed at kids, but were wonderfully written and acted regardless.
Unlike previous jaunts with the blue blur, Sonic Prime wants to tell an overarching story.
It doesnt know how to, but goddamnit, does it really want to try.
It also wants to tell a non-linear story, even if that does nothing to serve the plot.
Sonic gets trapped in the multiverse (sorry, shatterverse), and 2.
He can be a bit of a twat to his pals.
No, this did not need to be this long, but it is.
But unfortunately, theres a fair amount that doesnt stick.
This structure is a blessing and a curse.
The downside is, of course, that we eventually have to see the egg council again.
The moments we escape from this unfunny band of villains are much better, at least.
And as we reach the finale, it doesnt feel any closer to reaching a conclusion.
Put him in the games, yo.
Its fun, impressive in areas, and completely inoffensive.
But at their best, Sonic shows can set how the fanbase views characters for years to come.
Prime definitely wont be doing that anytime soon.
