YMMV / Sonic Boom S 1 E 34 Just A Guy

Go To

  • He Really Can Act: Roger Craig Smith definitely shows his voice acting skills when Sonic gets enraged and claims that he's quitting the group.
  • Ho Yay: The trio attend one of Amy's sensitivity trainings because Sonic insulted a friend of Knuckles' by mistake. Sonic knows a group hug is incoming; he lowers his eyes and tells the others in effect to just get it over with. Knuckles immediately pulls Sonic to himself, and Sonic starts staring into the distance suddenly looking rather surprised...
  • Narm: Sonic's speech tries to be either awesome or shocking, but thanks to his repeated voice cracking, can come off as this.
    • Narm Charm: ...however, others hear this as Sonic on the verge of tears, making the speech come off as stronger instead of weaker.
  • Never Live It Down: Fans will not forgive or forget how the villagers and Sonic’s friends treat Sonic for calling Mike "just a guy".
  • Tear Jerker: Sonic's rant about the villagers' treatment and quitting heroing. Roger Craig Smith's voice acting really makes this scene.
  • What Do You Mean, It's Not Didactic?: Many fans have found parallels with the villagers and the Sonic fanbase, specifically with how they are quick to criticize the games and considered being one of the most unpleasable fanbases.
  • The Woobie: Sonic. His rant sums it up very well: he is hardly ever shown any appreciation for saving the village every week, and it seems that the only time that anyone notices what he does is when he does something wrong, and the villagers act like self-righteous hypocrites and blow what Sonic did WAY out of proportion. Oh, and not to mention how even his own friends (except Tails) turn on him, with absolutely no one coming to his defense...
