Sonic’s design (regular and super sonic form) in Sonic Unleashed was too beautiful and Sonic Team needs to bring that back because he looked TOO good.

I miss the time when Sonic had characterization like this, when he was one who dispensed simple yet wise and compassionate lines. I couldn’t envision these lines coming out of the mouth of any character other than him. And it’s a tremendous pity how his character is being shoehorned into comedic roles that aren’t even funny or clever such as Colours, which exaggerates his character for no good reason and makes a compelling part of his character effectively jump off a cliff because of the all-consuming fixation on making him out to be a ‘comical’ character to the detriment of so many of his other traits and quirks.
Truly a shame. The character has been so much more and can be so much more.
