Cwcville reminds me of my early childhood fantasies to a frightening extend, something I’m sure many people feel when reading through the comics. There’s an idealized version of yourself, a perfect life, Mary Sues and big bad antagonists. Most of Chris’ eccentricities boil down to him having the mind of a child. After their first attempt at raising a child turned, Borb’s parenting style is at blame for most of Chris’ behavior. The worst part is, the internet and cult following has just caused his mindset to implode. That’s why Christine is so sad. It’s the result of an emotional incapacitation.
Honestly, it scares me alot of how similiar Sonichu is to some of the stuff I did when I was a kid. This one perfect world where your favorite things are all together, in an unholy combination of things lifted from scenes you saw on TV or in games. Most people as they grow up lose these fantasies, but Chris never let them go, to the point he nowadays revolves his entire life around them.
What scares me is I was going down the same path as Chris. The only difference being now i'm putting in the effort to better myself from the ground up.
Early Sonichu maybe could have been salvaged, but it would have to be an original character and comic Chris would have to be completely rewritten to make it work. Originally Sonichu made an attempt at telling an action/adventure story before it devolved into Chris's personal revenge fantasies, Sonichu and Chris would fight the villain of the week and Mary Lee Walsh was the overarching villain sending her goons out every issue to harass our heroes. There was an attempt made at tension and danger and the sub-episodes could have been rewritten into a sort of comedic end short where one of the defenders of CWCville is forced to deal with minor annoyances and a failed love life as a human. It wouldn't be original but it would be something. Now its just Chris's escapist imaginary world, he is a TRUE and HONEST woman who rules CWCville as a goddess where all his dreams and wishes come true all the time. A global pandemic is ended in a month so Chris can go to a pony convention and even though he's a 40 year old man Chris can still go back to High School and hang-out with the ponies as one of the girls. There's no tension or drama you could wring from it or any humor from Chris's real life antics. It was once a bad story now its a hugbox.
It's actually a little worrying because Bob had multiple heart attacks throughout his life despite not being fat and lazy for most of it (he wasn't healthy mind you, but certainly far better than Chris). Bob needed two triple-bypasses when he was around 53, and Chris isn't exactly far off from that age. I wouldn't be surprised if Chris ended up needing an operation at a younger age than his father.
I can't say Chris specifically ruined Sonic for me, but it's people like him that make me less open about liking the games.
