Tamers12345 - Autistic Sonic and Bartleby Shipper and Video Maker

I will throw my two cents into this and say I think one of the reasons why Tamers SU is able to stand on its own is because it allows crossovers. If it was strictly Sonic Underground characters and other normal people, the number of stories Tamers could do within reason would be horribly limited and dare I say would hurt the cast in the long run. Allowing the SU cast to interact with more media took what might be a relatively cringy and edgy fan series turn into a more fleshed out absurdist series. The Sonic Underground having a rival band? It's the Doodlebops of all things- and said rival band also turns out to be a bunch of creepy pedophiles. War with The Boys? It becomes an ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny between the forces of Sonic Underground and evil. Tamers was always cringy, edgy, and melodramatic; but the amount of absurdity added by seeing Sonic interact with a Doodlebop or Yugi helps shave the edge and the cringe down and oddly allows the melodrama to not be as melodramatic.

I guarantee you if you tried to make the hour-long special against The Boys just be between the SU cast and The Boys it couldn't work as an hour-long special, or so many contrivances would have to come out it'd hurt the special as a whole. That's a thought that's been in the back of my head since the start of the MLP run, it's just the Mane Six and then the 5-way gay ensemble, and I think that's a huge reason as to why the cringe and edge seems more prevalent even if its always been there, there's nothing else but these two groups to bounce shit off of- and these two groups could not be any worse to try and bounce comedy and drama off of. I couldn't put the words together until now and I hope I got the point across.

Just to add to this, a lot of Tamers' brilliance is how much of his character (Tamers himself) is implied in subtle ways throughout his work. The Joker is going to appear in this Deviantart fanfiction animation? It's going to be the absolutely shittiest Joker, from the latest film, and of course he will be voiced by Tamers doing a bad, anachronistic impression. The Sonic Underground goes to see a movie? They will see the latest slop film to be heavily advertised on cable television, treated with so much reverence it becomes absurd. Bartleby wants a snack? It's frozen popcorn shrimp; some brand available at Walmart but just slightly out of a very impoverished person's price range, and therefore must cost sixty-six billion dollars a box (and poor people may not eat it.) Stuff like this is more amusing to me than actual melodrama, most of the time.

One of the things I rarely see people bring up about Tamers is how perfectly he depicts lower-class suburban life. The kind of food they eat, the sorts of places they go, he just nails it.

In other news, the Tamers Archive has launched their offline archive so you can watch his videos even without the internet. I haven't downloaded it, but from the video showing it off it seems pretty impressive.

The world of SU is compelling because it's essentially a piece of modern Americana. It's that midwestern suburban America of fast food chains, Dollar Trees, and Targets that is uniquely prevalent in every facet. Aleena being a sort of deadbeat mom, the Sibs having to deal with high school bullshit, the show getting embroiled in whatever the latest pop-cultural fad is - it's all very unique to Tamers' SU, and in comparison his MLP stuff feels a lot more bland. It's hard to articulate, but with SU, the mundane suburbia meets the utterly insane in a way that's just fun to watch.

I can try and describe it, but it may be kinda retarded. I remember I read about a while back. A more mundane a setting contrasted with the more absurd a plot is the funnier and more lively the whole story is in comparison to an absurd setting with absurd plots. Sure, the SU cast are technically a bunch of aliens, but they've integrated so much into American society that they hardly stand out socially. Aleena trades granola recipes with other moms, Chuck gripes about chili with other dads, the Sibs each have their own problems at school but being Mobians doesn't contribute to most if not any problems. The absurdity comes not from the obvious differences, but from exaggerations and distortions of reality. The rampant lust, the normalized abuse, the comical amounts of toilet humor. The OG Sonic Underground isn't so much a vehicle as it is one part (a large part, but a part nonetheless) of the Tamers Sonic Underground at this point.

By contrast the original MLP series is more the vehicle for the Tamers MLP than it is a component. It's the engine, the wheels, the chassis, all of it is OG MLP covered in a bit of Tamers. Even if MLP has somethings to tie it to ground it to reality, like the divide between different ponies, or the social anxieties of other ponies, it's already absurd and the Tamers series doesn't change much in the dynamics. The Mane Six are still far more recognizable from the show compared to Tamers' Sonic Underground cast. To powerlevel a bit, if anything, Tamers characterization of the Mane Six feels almost like it was ripped from the Pony.mov series than anything fairly original from his own mind. Maybe thats why the MLP stuff feels blander, because it's stuff that's already built off of jokes from the fandom, with little from Tamers in the way of original jokes if that makes sense. Twilight is a subservient little bitch to Celestia, but thats what she is whenever parody comes around. Rarity is a struggling fashionista, but that's what she is when parody strikes, so on and on.

don't be sorry, you are just the messenger. But also goddamnit. What else could possibly be worth making an MLP episode on? Is it one final slice of life episode or some new overarching plot? If it was an overarching plot, shouldn't we have seen some sort of preview or trailer?

Kind of on the vein of future/possible antagonists, I just realized that the "Warrior of Darkness" from when "Sportacus Escapes" is alive, and has never been in another SU video since. It would be based af to see him again

I like Tamers but the pony shit is old hat. Especially when he tries to be serious. My hopes of SU returning are draining faster than a case of Bud Light with Uncle Chuck around.
