Description
Man did Sonic X ruin Tails reputation. It all started with that 2003 show that made him and most others into helpless damsels for Sonic to rescue. Remember the time Tails grew in Sonic Adventure and put a stop to Eggman himself in a final battle. Apparently they forgot to adapt that part or realized their portrayal of Tails was to much of a wussy. Remember when Tails could spin dash, tail swipe, and move fast. Well this shitty version had none of that and could barely fight. I think the only person he beat was some random human in a gag situation. That's it. This version was so shitty that Chris Thorndyke was slowly being prepared to replace him as he did the gadgets for Sonic and became a genius. This version was so bad, they had to make weird love interest to give him some kind of relevance. Worst of all it was with a really boring character that may as well have been called "Cream the Plant."Wanna know why everyone calls Tails a useless piece of shit who gets in Sonic's way? Because the first thing they remember is watching this shitty anime. Even games now a days are following this pathway too. Anyone remember Tails first scene in Sonic Unleashed. He suddenly lost all that courage he was building up, and hid like a coward. This version is so bad that the AOSTH 4 year old Tails can beat the shit out of him. Even Chris Thorndyke could too, especially after training.
Hopefully Boom Tails turns out to be a good version of Tails...unlike this junk.

To be fair X Tails is far more braver than Modern Tails like when he took down an entire underground Metarex fake emerald factory, preventing Shadow from killing Cosmo and became captain of the Blue Typhoon. Without Tails the Metarex would of won.
The real downfall actually began when Sega introduced the wisps in Colors because they thought that no one wanted to play as Tails and Knuckles so they replaced them with these uninspired blobs that look like they belong in a bad kids movie.
To make matters worse Classic Sonic was introduced in Generations and once again replaced Tails as Sonic's sidekick.

I do find it a little hypocritical that a vore fan considers a fictional character as being sick fox for allegedly having a fetish.

True enough the hypocrisy is there....but it ain't like I would suggest it should be in canon....now a days his problem is having a massive ego XD

Well, what else could I say here? If one of them could really ruin Tails' reputation, it has to be AOSTH Tails. But not X Tails and not for THAT reason.

One problem is the same as Sonic and Elise with interspecies, and the other is where he was first nerfed to the point he's more tech support than sidekick.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Interspieces in Sonic is not that much of a problem as long as humans are not involved. About the second one, though... I'm not even sure... You could be right here... Or half right... I honestly don't know...

That's pretty ridiculous. The only reason people don't complain about Cosmo is because she looked like a Sonic character. That's it. If she didn't people would throw a spasm. Also how is a plant species which is dendrophillia ok, but bestiality isn't. It's the same thing. It's superficial to call plants to be fair game while humans are not. I find both equally stupid. I have friends who like Cosmo anyways and even they know if you can't hate Elise based on beastiality when Tails and Cosmo is dendrophillia.
Sonic X even removed Adventure Tails greatest triumph. He beats Eggman in a giant Egg Walker on foot, without Sonic's help. In X he just defuses a bomb and that's it. In SA1 it's far more meaningful as he shows he can be a hero in his own right by defeating Eggman. In Sonic X he just defuses a bomb which isn't a testament to his skills nearly as much. In Sonic Unleashed and since he can't fight, can't move fast, and can't really do anything beyond tech work. Sonic Unleashed/X started the new status quo of Tails is weak and is only useful when it comes to tech.

1) I get your point here. It did look weird to me as well at some point, but if you put aside this fact, then this pairing is the only one that actually WORKED. And I see it more like if Tails fell in love with an alien, which still makes sense. It happens.
2) Well, it's STILL better then in AOSTH where he couldn't do EVEN THAT. Not to mention his age was reduced to 4.5 years. And that was even before Adventure.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
1) Um it was forced too. Amy tried to make Sonic fall in love with him and instead her plan for some love potion or whatever hit Tails and Cosmo. Even Vector tries to force it. It's so forced. Also alien or not it's still a plant. She turns into a plant and the species keeps talking about turning the universe into plants only. Also here's the kicker...He's 8 years old....what kind of 8 year old has a romance? That's the equivalent of a second grader/third grader falling in love. Don't give me the IQ excuse as Tails is sometimes Naive, and we have kids who are about 2 years old with a higher IQ than Barack Obama. The impact of this idea is horrible. Kids shouldn't think of romance at 8 years old. Sonic is all about being cool and kids look up to him. Seeing Tails in a romance at such a young age gives the idea that getting a romance at that age is cool. No kid should have to worry about it. Especially when heart breaks can really hurt.
2) Actually in AOSTH he was super fast. He kept up with Sonic's average speed. He isn't totally capable, but he's not completely helpless either. In Sonic X Tails could beat one human...that's about it. He's also about as fast as every other human and can only fly...which even then isn't that useful to helping Sonic. In Sonic X he can not defend himself against a single enemy without his Tornado.

1) I don't really see why it's "forced". Maybe it's just me. I guess I can't argue with you on this topic. Let's just stick to our opinions here.
2) It wasn't just Tails' problem in Sonic X. Everyone got underpowered there. Plus in AOSTH Tails was turned into... a normal kid (plus flight and super speed). He never had any fighting skills or super-high IQ.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
1) Vector and the love potion thing IS forced. You can't get more forced than one guy trying to match someone up, and a love potion to make someone fall in love. Once again...8 years old. Not even in puberty. If Tails and Cosmo were close friends I'd have no problem. Same as people's opinion on Sonic and Elise.
2) Knuckles is still super strong and could fight Sonic (His defeat by Shadow was really dumb though in hindsight of this), Amy could still smash a bot with her hammer in rage. Tails can't handle a single robot. AOSTH Tails can move fast and has shown he isn't completely helpless all the time. Sonic X Tails can't handle one badnik. A single crab meat could take him out like it nearly did in Lost World. Besides being bumbling, I have no reason to believe Scratch and Grounder could not beat up Sonic X Tails.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sonic can't even handle a single Eggman robot without an extra charge in most cases. Amy's hammer doesn't do much in certain either. And I don't even want to start it about Shadow. Especially how he screwed up in episode 73.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He can. In the opening he handles several of them. Amy is less capable but she never was portrayed of doing much. Tails went through a freaking island controlled by the Battle Bird Armada and won single handedly. Tails took on a gigantic Eggman machine that dwafs a lot of the Sonic X badies. Tails went through two adventures on the Western Islands and Angel Island with death traps, robots everywhere, and did his part. In Sonic X all he can do is hide behind the tornado, or throw Sonic a ring. Also after this anime and Sonic Unleashed, Tails has always been like this ever since. Ever since this portrayal this has become the status quo for Tails.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But why couldn't Sonic take Eggman's robots down without Rings in Season 1? (I'm not talking about regular Badniks or such) And sorry, but what exactly became his downfall: X or Unleashed? I believe it was Unleashed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sonic couldn't do it cause of bullshit extending of plot. Think of the ring like the Power Rangers Megazord. The rangers could just use the megazord right away or just always have the robots be the megazord, yet they always have separate machines just to extend time. Sonic could just always have a ring on him but he doesn't to extend the "Monster of the week" formula and pad a 22 minute episode out. Sonic X is to blame as it came before Unleashed did and portrayed Tails like this in televised media. Look at the Sonic OVA. Tails voice may be annoying, but he's actually fast and helpful. He can fight robots and use tech which in the end allowed Sonic to beat Metal Sonic. Sonic Unleashed is to blame as it's the first in the gaming center to make Tails actively run away from a conflict, and never redeem himself. Him being scared of the dark gaia creatures is not the problem, it's the fact he never redeems himself. He forever becomes a pussy.

Are you sure X had any influence on the game series? If it worked that way, Tails would lose his reputation before Sonic OVA (AOSTH and SatAM).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
X came after those shows. X could be to blame or maybe not. It's just the first show to do it that centers closer to the games....albeit poorly. AOSTH did influence the chili dog being Sonic's favourite food in the game media. But SATAM is of a different continuity further worked on by Archie Comics.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but AOSTH Tails and SatAM Tails are 100% identical and you don't see anything of them in games. As for X, there's more focus on Tails' engineering skills there. In games, however, there's nothing done about him. I mean, in X he at least could provide technical help (you don't get a friend who builds spaceships everyday). But in games even that concept is not used. I don't expect Tails to be badass in X since they screwed up even with Shadow.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not really. Neither of them are smart at all. They are both average kids in those shows. In X they took away his capabilities and his bond with Sonic. He was best friends with fucking Chuck, not Sonic. Also in the games his tech help has been used a shit ton. In Rush Adeventure he builds tons of crafts and vehicles. He builds a translator. He builds Extreme Gear. He builds RC Vehicles. He is only a tech guy as of late.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but his tech help went away with Unleashed, so it's not X to blame. His translator doesn't even work properly. And Extreme Gears were not invented by him.
And once again, in X everyone was underpowered (or downgraded in other way) to a certain degree. The final fight with Emerl and Shadow's fail in episode 73 prove that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
His translator worked properly in the DS version, my other points still stand, and not everything he invents he created first. That doesn't matter as he still made one.
Doesn't matter. That's more reason to dislike X. Tails got it the absolute worst to the point Decoe and Bokkun could probably kick his ass. Especially if they merged. Or what ever the other side kicks name was.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(It was Bocoe.)
Well, it's because Tails didn't have much powers to begin with that he got that weak. As for the game... The Gears aren't that useful anyway. They are only made for racing only. And those were actually introduced even before 06, so that's not much of a point.

He took on this gigantic thing and won. He's about the 5th or 6th fastest character in the series and in X he's the same speed as everyone. Even Knuckles is somewhat fast as he takes on Sonic. Gears are still a tech feat as he makes gears almost as good as Wave who is an expert at them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, that robot isn't much of a threat as it's hell slow. Almost everyone could take it down. And evryone can make good Gears, not just Tails and Wave. Hell, even Chris Thorndyke made one in X.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Isn't much of a threat? It's a behemoth. Of course other Sonic characters could take it down as Tails is not stronger than Sonic, Shadow, or Knuckles, but Sonic X Tails couldn't do jack fucking shit to it. That's why in Sonic X they removed that fight out of the anime.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, the power gap between Tails and the other wasn't small, that's why it became so visible after characters' downgrade. But enough about him. There's another thing that bothers me much more in X.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Still doesn't disregard my point that he can't handle lowly badniks that in the classic days took him a single hit to down. Doubt he could handle a motobug or a buzz bomber.
What?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A problem with Shadow I mentioned before. Episode 73.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Don't remember as I don't care for a shitty anime. Unless you mean how Knuckles who took on Sonic earlier and was his equal more or less for some retarded reason became a complete jobber to Shadow who is also equal to Sonic.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
1) Shadow and Sonic are not equal.
2) My point is how he failed the easiest mission ever in that episode.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes they are. Or Sonic's better since he beat him in Generations and Sonic Boom.
And? Knuckles had it worse as he was a total jobber when he can fight Sonic?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
1) Shadow never went full power against Sonic? Remember those Inhibitor Rings?
2) That's not my problem. Don't you remember who Shadow tried to kill in episode 73?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They more or less tire him out over a quick period of time as shown before, they wouldn't be a good idea to use or he'd use them. Same as people who say why doesn't Shadow teleport people into the sun to win every fight.
Yes...Knuckles situation was far more bullshit.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
1) They do tire him, but in exchange they give a huge power boost. Who knows if Sonic could deal with that or not?
2) Really? And how about Shadow took down Sonic and Knuckles in one hit, blew up the X-Tornado in one shot but spent the whole episode chasing down a harmless Seedrian and STILL failed to kill her? That is the true bulshit here.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Considering how quickly it burns em out, probably or he'd use them over losing. Don't see any reason he'd take a beating over using that power if it'd win him the battle.
Yeah Shadow is the bullshit one here. Sonic alone is a match for him. Knuckles is also a match for him which the archie comics demonstrate MILES BETTER than the anime as they just fought in the recent story arc. Shadow has no reason to be that powerful. He should not be able to one hit Sonic or Knuckles. That's bullshit.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mephiles is far more powerful than Sonic, yet that trick was enough.
You don't get what I mean. I'm not talking about Sonic and Knuckles here. How could Shadow not catch up with Tails and Cosmo to kill that girl if he has such high speeds and teleportation? I mean, he took down two strongest characters but not the weakest one? That doesn't make sense!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sonic 06 is already bullshit. If he was so much more powerful than Sonic he would have killed Sonic himself at any point. I doubt it as he sneak attacked Sonic and Sonic is Shadow's equal. So if Shadow could beat Mephy so could Sonic.
And you don't see Shadow being so ridiculously OP in comparison to be a problem? Dude can use the spin attack without rings too. If anything that's a minor offense considering Sonic and Knuckles would have stopped Shadow.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe.
Ummm... Sonic can also use spin attack without Rings. And it's the very fact that Shadow is overpowered thatmakes it ridiculous that he couldn't kill that girl. I'm okay with Shadow being overpowered since it wasn't much different in games.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So the writers have rings be the reason Sonic can use spin attack, then say fuck it later for no reason...more reason why the show is a piece of shit. Also this seems like extreme Shadow bias as the issue is Shadow, not that last part as that wouldn't be an issue if Sonic and Knuckles weren't suddenly depowered for no reason.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I heard it's because the show was made on limited budget that the characters got depowered.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That is not at all the reason. That effects animation, not story. The story writers are full of shit.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, still better than 06.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not much of a complement. Hell you have mary sue ending of out of nowhere power allowing a much weaker character to pass through something that SUPER SONIC AND SUPER SHADOW CAN'T. That's bullshit. Chip was Light Gaia so for him it makes sense, for Cosmo...not at all. It's bullshit contrived writing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. I never got that part either. The only thing I can come up with is that she shares the same origin as Metarex. That would explain it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The meterax also powered themselves up with the chaos emeralds too if I recall correctly. That's why they become a giant beast monster. So non chaos emerald powered mary sue bullshit saves the day.
