All children are autistic for sharks (and/or dinosaurs), why didn't this series have staying power?

I love how their superpower is just causing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of damage to both public and private property.

They required much more skill to draw than Sonic, and their facial expressions were less simple. Just a guess.

OH! Adding onto that, it didn't have a long running comic series which, for the majority of it's run, consisted of a Furry Soap Opera with characters all based upon an interchangeable Sonic template which again, was easy for a child, or an autistic child, to latch onto and imitate to create their own super special OC.

Those look hideous. Sonic doesn't.
I think they're cool looking, but one of them is supposed to be a whale shark (the reddish brown one I'd otherwise assume was a bull shark) but is still depicted as having rows of sharp teeth.

I got through maybe five minutes of the last video I posted, it was by far the most autistic thing I've watched in months. DORSALATIMUS DUDE!

@Chicken Nugget Scoon , that makes a lot of sense. I don't think there was really any opportunity for emotional bonding to these characters who were just insults and violence at all times. Which is still pretty fun.

They were too violent. I think a lot of the sanic autismo didn't come from the games so much as they came from the first sanic cartoon, which was focus tested for maximum autistic appeal.

Those are fucking weird looking. That's probably why.

This is actually completely accurate, including the hatred of pizza as a take that to TMNT
lol I forgot about them interjecting about how much they hated pizza, which would be appropriate in today because people sperg about their love of pizza (bacon, and cats as well) as a substitute for having a personality.


I'm playing another video and the theme song is really cracking me up:

Half shark. Half man. Fighting evil, that’s the plan.
They bite. They fight. They stand for everything right.
They bite. They fight. Chewing up evil with all of their might.

I had the black robot one as a kid, and I'm pretty sure it was like the only one I actually owned. I used it to maul my lesser action figures with it's spring loaded jaw gimmick. It also had like a drill hand if I remember.
So many small toys were sacrificed to the black god of shark death.
I had the great white one.
