Sonic works really well when nobody talks

Yeah, exactly. I'm pretty sure no one in Japan or America had the impression that Sonic was meant to be silent, so having him silent in Generations and Mania is strange.

How about making Sonic's personality a mix of Classic and Movie with the ideals of Modern

>That aside they don't really have much in common.
>Has an edgy doppleganger who barely smiles (Vegeta and Shadow)
>Has a character who comes from the future to stop greater evils in the past (Silver and Trunks)
>Both of their chicks are dangerous when angry (Chi-Chi and Amy)
>Has a friendly rival with great sense of responsibility (Krillin and Knuckles)
>They fight godlike/dangerous beings on a daily basis to save their universe/planet from the end (Gods of Destruction, Jiren, Buu, Broly, Cell, Solaris, Dark Gaia, Time Eater, Infinite, Chaos, Deadly Six, I can go on)

>tfw the best (and only good if we're being honest) voice actor for Sonic is from 25 years ago

I prefer when Sonic has a healthy mix of cute and cool. The overly radical thing lost its charm awhile back. I kinda like dated styles of characterization like that but he needs to have some variety. He sticks out pretty hard when they go full on it which they still do.

I'm glad these shorts exist. They're nice and visual-based expression wise. I'm always up for something that conveys a story without dialogue.

and his sister isn't much to look at

>modern
Is modern starting with the 1990s?

You're right, but if I'm honest the actual classic sonic is kind of faggy and annoying. I don't know what it is about Tyson Hesse's work but he manages to make both classic and modern sonic not seem faggy. I do prefer his classic sonic over his modern sonic though.

Nah fuck off. this current version of classic sonic is >>>> old classic sonic. Stop living in the last old man.

I agree with this guy. It should only be sonic and eggman with tails, knuckles and Amy sprinkled in occasionally when needed, and maybe adding one off characters like rouge, shadow, the chaotix and whoever, when you want to mix things up a bit from game to game.

This 5 shorts by Tyson Hesse have more personality than anything that's come from the classic era. You don't need to talk to have character.
