IDW Sonic The Hedgehog (#1-74) - Sonic The Hedgehog #74

Okay, things are speeding up and I know a lot of people must be pissed off or confused about Lanolin and I am too, like. I even got to talk to Evan Stanley on Tumblr and she told me that she understands the fact that some people don’t like Lanolin and she even recognizes that part of that is the way she writes the sheep’s reaction to certain issues, the idea is for her to be a character who tries to follow the rules to the letter which makes her not very flexible like Sonic and company and this seems to be a point of development for her that is being worked on little by little, but now speaking personally after reading this issue the talk about Phantom Rider being a criminal doesn’t seem to make sense, he didn’t invade the competition to hurt anyone or steal the prize, he just invaded the race and drew attention to himself and nothing more so Lanolin seems to be just paranoid about him and because Phantom Rider is Sonic the others should already be more aware that there is possibly something he wanted to investigate and because he was disqualified he couldn’t go in there as himself, simple. She also said that part of Lano’s harsh attitude is due to Mimic’s interference, who, as an infiltrator, uses Duo’s “innocent and naive” attitude to instigate internal friction and create a rupture between them so he can attack Tangle and Whisper when they are alone. I understand all of this and I know it’s hard to write a good story with deadlines to meet, but I think it could be better and more understandable. Maybe making Lanolin apologize to everyone in public after hearing all the explanations would alleviate the bad impression of the character a little, like “she made a mistake but at least she acknowledged it, I hope it doesn’t happen again.”
