>>134794802Personally, I don't think there was any real reason to remove all the obvious Sonic stuff or redesign the characters so drastically when it's still obviously a Sonic fancomic. It just mostly comes across as pointless, especially when it's easy to justify the original narrative from the context of "there's a bunch of shit happening on Mobius that isn't related to Sonic and co".
It might not have really changed how the stories went or anything, but it meant they drastically retooled the world and setting for no real reason and had to come up with even MORE justifications for certain jokes when previously, they could just blame it on Mobian/Mobius weirdness.
