Not to go too far in this, you are feeling good and i'm not gonna bog you down with rants, but
I'm familiar with different versions of characters, I read comics, actively. My favorite version of superman, well one of them is one that storts kryptonite like cocaine, to get stronger and is apart of a crime syndicate and his wife cheats on him with that universes batman surrogate. The reason I say wildly out of character, is that at a point, both archie and fleetway were supposed to be interpretations of the games characters. They were supposed to be wildly different , they were suppoused to be who those characters were in the games, and both comics after a point just went off a characterization deep end. To give a very plain example: there's a difference between sonic boom sonic and tails, versions of characters who share simularities were designed to be specifically different in mind and those characterizations being consistent to the world they are in, and that time in archie were sonic was a womanizer and literally used women for his personal gain and tails was a creepy ass nice guy. That was not the orginal intent of the media it just warped into that due to , in my opinion on both archie and fleetway, bad writing.
Its supposed to be a different version of the character only works to varying degrees depending on what you are doing, and both fleetway and archie for me had long past that point to which one litterally turned into fanfiction. And the other , had to be stopped by sega, who I mean given half the shit that had happened before, should have been stopped sooner. Archie Sonic upsets me in retrospect. I will leave it here before I start ranting about how evil super sonic was a dumb idea. Its so dumb.
And I dunno, its just neat to me. I'm sure some others in this thread will certainly care more but for me its just " Oh hey the fanfiction did the thing, that's neat ". Not to disparage your thing, you seem excited, i'm glad. Its just to me " hey that's neat "
