Oh- please don't assume I know what I'm talking about! If you have another opinion you're more than welcome to discuss it here- that's what the message zone is for! I still believe Amy loves Sonic because she is so heavily invested in him- she's spent half her life following him around like a shadow. She might not be a moronic Sonic-groupie figure anymore, but I think that says more about how she feels about him rather than less. I think that's why she doesn't cope well with any mention of Sonic... but perhaps it's all much more simple than that! )

Patches your posts are great to read! I may offer a differing opinion on the Sonic and Amy situation: I think it's the opposite, that Amy has come to realise the person she once idolised (whether it was genuine or not is another matter... XD) is actually the massive douchebag we already know! Sonic's actually not that great a person and Amy has witnessed him at his worst, yelling at Porker, beating himself up over Johnny's death and perhaps this apparent "betrayal" is the last straw for her. Then again... she might be playing Playground Rules; those you outwardly hate the most are the ones you really like! XD Anyways, what bothers me more is that Tails hasn't told her, or perhaps hasn't said to her "give Sonic a chance!", at least on-panel anyway. It does say to me that there is some problem with the present Freedom Fighter's co-ordination and I wonder if that will have an effect later on. Perhaps they will realise they needed Sonic to lead them and keep them together?

Yes that's interesting- I had thought that too, especially with Tails and Amy being the lead members of the freedom fighters now (at least on Mobius- I appreciate Knuckles and Chaotix are important too!), I find it odd that Tails has kept this to himself. Actually it would make it much more interesting later on if Amy did turn out to hate Sonic as much as she appears to, but then realise that she actually needs him, as he is the one that brings cohesion to the freedom fighters- that would be a lot to cope with!
I agree that the freedom fighters lack a definite leader since Sonic was pushed out- he might be obnoxious and self-righteous, but those qualities make him a good leader- maybe not all the decisions he made were good ones, but he gave the group direction which I think they lack now.
I also think Amy's become a much grimer character since about #250- I know there are lots of panels with her laughing and joking, but most of her dialogue is much more serious (and almost desperate sounding I think sometimes) than previously- we haven't seen much of her sense of humour recently. She's had a lot on her plate I think- she's change the most noticably recently out of all the major characters, for me at least. I wonder just how many more knocks she can take?

When Sonic was stuck in the Special Zone Amy was the leader of the freedom fighters do you think she's got too much on her plate to lead the freedom fighters Tails and the Kintobor computer. It also seems to me that Tails has become the unoffical leader of The Ultimax. I was also wondering why nobody has tried to find out what happen to Shorty and Tekno?

Amy at least acknowledged they were missing, which to me suggests they searched for them, but off panel.

Yes, that's true she did a good job at leading the freedom fighters when Sonic was trapped in the Special Zone- but Mambo's point is very pertinant: at that stage Sonic was most definitely one of the good guys, and it's interesting the difference in the cohesion of the freedome fighters now that he is seen as having etrayed them. Perhaps the very existance of the Ultimax is a sign of just how fractured the freedom fighters have become? I wonder if they would just have been amalgamated into Sonic's group had this not happened? And I'm not sure Shorty and Tekno know what's happened to themselves... much less anyone else! I was kind of alone in finding Tekno's decent into madness believable... not sure I agreed with all the events in the story, but it kind of made sense that a character who had become defined by her ability with electronics would find life difficult when trapped in a place where technology of that sort simply didn't exsit...

Oh I found it believable, just completely ridiculous in its mood whiplash.

I was also wondering why nobody has tried to find out what happen to Shorty and Tekno? Nobody cares! That is quite sad that the freedom fighters don't care.

That is quite sad that the freedom fighters don't care. Panel 1. Tails, Amy and Knuckles are sitting at the table in Buddy's Bistro. AMY: You know, now they're gone, I can finally admit... AMY: I couldn't stand Shortfuse, man! (This didn't happen)

Understandable. I love Shortfuse, but don't think I'd want to spend any time in the same room as him.
And they're sentiments I'm sure he would return to Amy…

Well lets not forget Amy and Shortfuse did have a bit of a slanging match sometime before #100 when he left the group due to "artistic differences" - and while there were other stories with those two together after that (she saved him from Dark Visor you'll recall!), I doubt they ever actually worked it out between them

It would also of been nice if Knuckles didn't release Captain Claw and instead put him in jail, a pity Knuckles only was made a deputy sheriff after release Claw. I was wondering it was Sonic's birthday in the story To the Hero of Mobius but how old is he? For that matter how are the rest of the Freedom Fighters?

I wonder what became of Tekno and Shorty? Maybe they encountered and fell victim to the Babylon Rogues or Rouge?

If Tekno taken Alice's role in Wonderland then Johnny will be the white rabbit, Princess Kupacious is the Queen of Hearts. Sonic can be The hatter.
