The Good & The Bad: An Amy Rose Character Analysis

Amy Rose is tied for my favorite character in the Sonic franchise, and has a load of fans who also hold her in high regard. There are just as many that dislike her, and in my opinion, her inconsistent writing over the years has a big part in why that is. There have been some pretty bad depictions of her, but also many great ones, which I think outweigh the negatives. In this video, I'm gonna take a deep dive into these depictions and analyze Amy's character writing from her debut to the present day to celebrate her 30th anniversary!
