It is finally time to round off the classic cast with the Amy Rose Character Analysis. Amy is a character that was introduced as a pretty basic love interest for Sonic, but eventually evolved into her own person. But, the future past her character arc was definitely a step in the wrong direction. But, as always, I’m getting a bit ahead of myself. In this video I discuss what made Amy so amazing, and how she was ruined. But, can Frontiers redeem the hedgehog? Find out by watching and I hope you enjoy the video.

So, what are your thoughts on the character of Amy? Do you agree with me? Disagree? Let me know in the comments and I'll respond to as many as I can. I'm especially interested in your thoughts on Frontiers.
Well… I mean
Sonic has to respect her unending determination to bang him
people complain about a lot of things boom did wrong but one thing I think it not only did right but better than its predecessors is make amy a likable character I like how she still has a thing for sonic but at the same time wont put up with his shit and will be a smart ass when he deserves it kind of like tails
Amy is just as much as a hero as the rest of the cast, even without super powers like the rest.
That, as well as how emphatetic she is, her being able to understand others really well, makes her really cool and admirable to me.
Heard sonic prime somehow did a better job than most of the games/shows
She is still passionate
☝️😊🫱
From what I’ve seen, Amy still carries these positive traits in what little we see of her in Sonic Prime. In the show, Amy brought most of the cast together, and even taught Sonic a valuable lesson (not to mention that she’s a loving member of said group)
I have a idea
How about a video disgusting all the returning characters to see how they changed since this seems like a new age of Sonic
Ian Flynn really brought back the true characters of the Sonic cast in Sonic Frontiers.
Sonic himself really cares for his friends and knows when to take things seriously, especially with Sage. Sonic even has times he would joke around and that is funny.
Then we have Tails whose character is a lot like from Sonic Adventure, where he's unsure about companionship with Sonic and even stands up for him to bring Sonic back from the corruption that controls him.
Even Knuckles isn't a dumb idiot and also shows his own intelligence with the puzzles throughout the game. I also love the bromance relationship with him and Sonic.
Also Eggman isn't treated like a joke, I especially like how he has respect for Sonic like in Sonic Adventure 2.
You forgot to mention her fake boyfriend claim in Sonic Chronicles and Rouge was flirting with the blue blur lol.
Seeing as how Sonic Frontiers has essentially done a 180 on the Sonic the Hedgehog cats, I definitely would like to see more videos about how the characters were good then became crap then became good again with Sonic Frontiers.
You forgot to mention that in Sonic '06, Amy had let Sonic go so he could be with Elise when they defeated Solaris. That is how much Amy loves Sonic, if he finds someone he loves who isn't her, she lets him go to be with them.
After watching the first season of Sonic Prime on Netflix, Amy's characterization actually has a lot of ground to stand on for once. Minor spoilers for the show below:
Rusty Rose is a better Metal Sonic than the OG, himself, and Thorn Rose made for an intimidating sympathetic minor villain, until her heel-face turn.
Amy's written fine now, but she's also not Amy Rose anymore, she's lost that fun anime edge that made sonic characters likable to begin with, and has progressed into a boring, but fine character
aaaaaaaa no. i cant hear that Heroes segment and then not talk about how it's barebones and doesn't quite do her justice.
Team Rose gets this flak for just being Amy trying to find Sonic. Likewise, the song Follow Me is what the masses seem to think is Amy's theme but this simply isn't true.
Team Rose is about everyone trying to find someone. Chocola, Froggy, Sonic. They go on this quest together to find someone they're currently missing from their lives. To be honest, Heroes makes it clear Amy hasn't actually seen Sonic in a while and seeing his name and picture in the news about a chaonapping seems off to her. I'll admit the scene in Grand Metropolis is not that good as Amy doesn't address if Sonic took Chocola and Froggy, Cream and Big do instead.
However, by Casino Park, it's revealed Sonic clearly didn't have them. Fast forward to Egg Albatross and the group realizes that the Eggman they've been chasing afterwards was a fake. Hell Amy wanted to take Eggman down first so she could impress Sonic. Anyways, Amy still knowing that following Eggman will lead them to Sonic uses that to her advantage to help them find Chocola and Froggy. It works for her because she wants to reconnect with Sonic anyway.
Fast forward to the end of Team Rose's story and Amy accomplishes her goal of helping rescue Chocola and Froggy and finds Sonic in the distance. It quite literally worked out for everyone.
Most of the cutscenes focus on her trying to help out her friends first then they do trying to focus on Sonic. She knows he's fine, she knows he didn't chaonap, she knows that he's not missing. But the same can't be said for Chocola or Froggy, which she does prioritize.
Idk man, Heroes Amy did her pretty good imo
(As a side note, why were other variations of her character missing here? no talk of X but you mention Boom. No Riders or ZG yet you mention Free Riders? I bring this up because X kinda gave way to the idea that her hammer is magical and can be summoned from thin air)
Hey do you know when you will make a vid on the new sonic series sonic prim love to see the break down btw love the vids
Better than from a woman to a guy
She is the worst charicter in the history of existence, Every sonic game she harasses the blue Blur into marrying her even though she's like 11 years old and maybe even younger she loves the guy so much she mistakes 3 people for Sonic and only one of them was the werehog of version of him so that means she's blind and easily the worst character ever lived, forgot to mention she's a witch as well. I want her scrap from the French the Genesis wave in the comics. She's literally just a furry version of Sakura from the Naruto franchise.
Sonic prime fixed amy
so amy just starts other peoples character arcs, she like the Aizen of the sonic-vers 💀
Comic Amy was the best, but happier with frontiers, cliche to say but a lot of her charactrerazation definitely felt like it was written by a man, in the games anyway.
Its just a token what do girls like, chasing boys, being nice (except for when rejected) pink, adventure I think worked cause sonic wasn't the main priority of her story.
Sally I think has more character but Amy has potential and hopefully we'll see her character fleshed out more, I think frontiers was a step in the right direction.
This video: Made after SONIC FRONTIERS released
Me: I have a bad feeling about this…
It seems OK in sonic prime
I'm sorry but I will always prefer Classic Amy from the Classic Archie Sonic comics to any of her game or cartoon iterations. They basically took her from a cute little girl with a puppy Crush and turned her into Haruno Sakura from Naruto. The IDW Comics are nice, and Frontiers looks good as well, and Boom was… Well I liked her dynamic with Sonic there.
Words cannot tell ANYONE how enraged I am by Amy's clinginess and unhealthy and down right toxic obsession with Sonic! Why is Amy like this? And why is she the most forward Sonic Character to ever exist?! Is she some kind of Non-Anime Yandere or something? Cause whenever she see's Sonic with another girl, she literally almost kills said girl!
Sonic Prime wrote her well
You can always tell the quality of a sonic game by how they treat Amy rose
It's crazy to think that if sonic had never went to Little planet he never would of had to deal with amy simping for him because amy cannonically went to Little planet because she had cards that said she would meet her chosen one if she went there
I don't mind new Amy, you can tell she matured in Frontiers. I do feel she is too emotional about feelings that aren't even hers now.
If I what you mean Amy is strong as fuck well at least I sonic x she could throw her hammer so high in the air and leave a dent in robotniks metal ship
1:22 She-Hulk is not just a gender-swapped Hulk. She was weaker but more flexible and able to retain her humanity even when transformed. Not to mention, she was a comedic character that broke the 4th wall, 10 years before Deadpool did it in fact, not someone with a tragic story about having to leave everyone you love to protect them from yourself. Nevertheless, she's one of the greatest and most important comic book characters ever created, not a female version of an existing character. I think you're confusing her with Lady Deadpool or something. Do your research before saying stupid things like that
I agree with all of the things you said about her character and that frontiers made her more mature. But you didn’t discuss about her character theme that’s “My Sweet Passion” I think it gives out a lot to say about her feelings for sonic too
Can you play sa1/2 on a pc? Just asking
Amy carried whole prime serie
The 2010’s, like the rest of cast, Amy’s character is so ruined. She was so much more fun when she was “obsessive” with Sonic. I put quotes because she wasn’t even obsessive besides Sonic Heroes which even then it came across to me as playful. She was written really well in Sonic X and it’s sad that all her personality got drained into just being apart of the story for no reason. In the games she’s mostly just there to be there.
Bruh. Even when “fighting” Sonic in heroes Sonic says “Amy knock it off. There’s no time to play” which tells us that Amy is messing around and not actually wanting to hurt Sonic. 😒
I like to think canonically that considering her age she’s starting to hit puberty or has hit puberty and maybe it’s just mood swings
Either that or someone gave her cocaine in the 2010s
i think amy is fine she is fighting along literal gods she is suppose o me humanity yes her lusting after sonic is annoying but it can also be her idol seeing how he saved her
The she-hulk jab seemed quite hokey and out of place coming from a fandom that gets bullied on every release. It'd like you jumped on the hate bandwagon to impress your demographic or you have no idea she-hulk is an actual storied character from marvel comics and not just a Disney+ think tank reject
I do think you missed the point of her character in Heroes
Yeah, her obsession with Sonic was a bit extreme, but her actual purpose is to show her growth from Adventure 1 & 2
She went from relying on Sonic, to learning to fend for herself, to saving Sonic from prison, to then fighting Eggman on her own. Even going against Sonic himself
Yeah, they could have emphasized that better, but I think it is a good evolution for her
Anyone else feel that SA2 Amy's journey was trying to prove herself to the others? She's not reliant on them, she stands up for what she believes in and fights (she broke into Prison Island before even Tails and rescues Sonic with a keycard she got from somewhere) but the boys don't see her as the new person she is. She proves herself to someone who didn't know her (Shadow) through grit and kindness, and I love it.
I’m glad Amy decides to go on her own journey by the end of Frontiers.
"And sonic evading her like I evade my taxes"
Based
I don't really like Amy but when seeing her in prime, at first I thought she might be like so crazy but when seeing how calm she is in the show so far maybe that can change. I don't know I haven't seen the rest of the episodes yet. (Don't spoil it for me pls lol) Don't hate me just because I hate Amy but it's my opinion so yeah.
So very unpopular opinion. I actually liked Amy’s obsession with sonic. I saw her as being a somewhat comic relief character. Don’t get me wrong I like seeing her outside of her obsession, but it felt more special when we did get to see her good side. Her obsession was just whacky and funny to me. Not to mention it felt kinda unique to have a female chase after the main character who’s not interested especially with the over abundance of cheesy romance in writing.
That was good video even if censored and word nicely, By not mention the main things that an issue with amy silver sonic rogue shadow silver blaze the cat and tails that ruined all of them. The fans them shelves of course that’s every fandom from sonic to Naruto we all no were they came from da. I pity all those thousands of people that have to use that sight to making living I’m not even go to get into all the stupid cross over drama controversies.
You fell for it didn’t you?
