Hello internet, welcome to film theory, the show that's really excited to show you my new Sonic O.C.

You know, loyal theorist, it's been a minute since I've gotten to talk about my favorite blue weirdly humanoid hedgehog.

Oh, you want me to go fast!

Ugly Sonic? Go...

No, nope, nope, not that one. Some things are best left forgotten.

Forever. Nope, I'm talking about the other Sonic. The cute Sonic. The Sonic that's one part meme, one part recycled jokes.

But I am not watching Snow Dogs again. That movie is the worst!

See, it's not copying your old material if the kids watching never saw the original stuff.

John Relfiel is having himself some big brain time right there.

Anyway, with Sonic Frontiers getting itself some positive reviews and a new Sonic TV show

coming out this December... Really? A TV show? You? Yeah. Is that so difficult to believe?

Now seem like the perfect time to revisit the old blue blur. Suck on that game theory.

Sonic is ours now.

And whether it's in games, movies, comics, or TV shows, one core part of Sonic's lore

is his insatiable love of chili dogs.

In fact, it comes up a lot with Sonic.

More than you'd think, really.

Like, a lot, a lot.

That's character development, right guys?

That's how you make a well-rounded character.

You give him a quirky trait, and then you just repeat it a whole bunch of times over and over again.

That's what I think.
