Okay this is gonna sound weird , but I loved how shitty Pender ' s was . I loved the fact that nothing made sense . There was like 15 fucking global disasters just in the time leading up to the comics ! Not including all the crazy shit that happened during them ! It was the kinda shit I came up with as a kid where everything was a twist on top of twist . Deus Ex machinas that existed to retcon other deus ex machinas . Its great for kids but as an adult it fucking sucks . Sure it ' s dumb but as a kid , finding out that Sonic and his friends exist because humans pissed off giant inter dimensional squids , or the fact that Eggman is actually from a different dimension who took over after Robotnik got vaporized ! Or the insanity that is his family tree , the echnidnas being weird cyborgs , Sonic being shot into space for a year and meeting all these weird aliens . The fact that there ' s 100 , 000 , 000 , 000 fucking chaos emeralds . I love it . Because its shit .
