dunno, Chaos did have some pretty good looking water effects in Forces, so I could still see Kit potentially being in the games. I think the biggest hurdle for him and Surge is from a storytelling perspective. How would you even introduce them to non comic book readers?
I didn't say they can't. I said they won't do that unless absolutely necessary. Chaos REQUIRES water effects, but for someone that's a literal second-rate clone who failed on his first debut? Kit could be shoved into a cutscene-only character with little issue.
As for introducing them, 1 line about being Sonic rivals and that's it.
At least Tangle and Whisper could work as just some of Sonic's quirky friends with minimal exposition on any tragic backstories
I hope so, because the Chaotix radio drama introducing them HAD to waste time with their sob story for some reason.
While their characters getting into the games is what the comic writers want, introducing them through a new rewritten "canon" version of events within the game universe would also make them seethe because it implies the comics aren't strictly canon to the games like they want them to be, so definitely you should do that option.
That will likely be what's going to be done as IDW is dying, and the Sonic comic has bad PR with none of Archie's insanity to compensate.
Like Lunar, the they/them/zir self-insert, "I hate my parents and Sonic would totally support my politics!" kid, that had to be retconned at the last second, much to the writer's loathing.
Most Shadow fans alive today barely know anything about his story from SA2 other than that he's "like Sonic but not a hero". Nevermind the Black Arms.
Well, Team Sonic pretends that Shadow game never happened, so no wonder that's the case. The third movie is a good summary of Sonic Adventure 2 if watered down, for what's worth.
If/when the Black Arms are introduced in the movie universe, they'll likely be watered down as well.
