What was up with Chris Thorndyke, anyway?

I think it’s safe to say that Chris Thorndyke is one of the most hated characters in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, which is… a bit odd, when you think about it. In a world of Ken Penders’s Daddy Issues Personified and Octopus Who Kills Children For Fun (the latter of which basically being a fandom sexyman), why is a twelve-year-old boy so polarizing?

It would be easy to chalk this up to the bad 4kidz dub, but I don’t quite think that’s it. A lot of the complaints I’ve heard can go to “he got the main character slot in Sonic’s show” or “I just don’t like the human characters,” which are valid, but pale in comparison to basically all I’ve seen being: “He’s just annoying,” “I can’t fucking stand him,” etc. That’s basically all I hear, and when asking why, it usually boils down to two things: 1) his extreme attachment to Sonic and 2) his status as a rich white american only child basically puts any and all of his problems at “first world problems” at best. Those also seem like valid reasons, right?

Thing is, while on the surface it seems like this kid has no issues, as a kid with a, how you say, rough childhood, something stuck with me when I watched the show for the first time. I remember sitting through episode after episode, wondering, When does Chris stop being sympathetic and start being annoying? Since, you know, that’s his reputation.

It didn’t happen.

And it slowly became apparent to me that a lot of the things that made Chris “annoying” and “obsessive”… were just obvious symptoms of a traumatized kid.

Join me for my thesis presentation: Chris’s “annoying” traits are not a writing flaw, but an intentional character flaw brought about by severe neglect, which is resolved through his character arc, and why the fandom reaction to him is so furious.

Note: Throughout this meta, we will only be looking over the Japanese version of Sonic X, as it’s the original script and 4kidz did not translate it accurately. So if you see some lines you don’t remember being said, those are from the English subtitles/direct translation.

Once again, it is possible (also likely, we’ll discuss that a bit) that the kidification and cuts to Sonic X did a number on Chris’s likability, but for most of the meta we’ll be discussing his Japanese characterization with only a few references to cut scenes or lines in the dub.

sorry i know im an art account but i made this and it made me giggle a bit ...

something something Cap’n cuttlefish is a victim of translation

And extra info about Octavio (I don’t remember the source)

If Nintendo ever makes Splatoon 4 then Orange, Azure, and Purple are really the only colours that the fourth idol team can use

If they go for a fifth game or more then they're either gonna be achromatic or Nintendo is gonna have to start inventing colours

Hehe, take a lazily edited inside joke. Edited over this video

Can't see through the Tears (of the Kingdom)

I don't know about anyone else, but finding all the memories really made this game feel like the legend of Zelda. And by that, I mean that Link has always been the focal point of each incarnation I've played, which makes sense since he is the legendary hero that's destined to always rise to the challenge of fighting Ganondorf. This time around though, Zelda's sacrifice to return the Master Sword to Link really solidified this incarnation as Zelda's legend. I already was a fan of the way they made her character a total geek for ancient technology in Breath of the Wild, but this went a direction I never thought I'd see.

you ever have your brain go through a sequence of stimulations that together hits it with a vision so vivid and specific that you have no choice but to commit to it or else you explode?
