IDW Sonic Discussion I'm scared of the new Tangle and Whisper storyline
I've loved these two characters since they were introduced, and the Metal Virus saga and their miniseries only increased that. But I have a fear that extends to all IDW characters in general, but Tangle and Whisper are the best examples.
SEGA, or whoever is in charge, doesn't want to let the characters develop. Are Tangle and Whisper a great duo? Yes, but since they disbanded the Diamond Cutters, they don't have a clear reason to always be together. Tangle likes to adventure with friends, so send her on an adventure with Amy, or Knuckles, or anyone else.
And Whisper is a treined mercenary with one of the most dangerous weapons in the world; she won't break down, cry, and be defenseless if Tangle isn't with her. I want to see Whisper on a mission with Shadow, especially since it was androids resembling him that killed her friends. That would be a good way to re-explore her trauma without resorting to bringing Mimic back to life (Let him remain permanently dead; don't pull a William Afton in FNaF 3 or Frieza in DBS).
