"Marine the Raccoon is annoyi-"
YES SHE IS AND THAT'S OKAY.
Isn't seeing Blaze grow and interact with interesting characters what we want out of a Rush sequel? I'm not asking anyone to like a character they don't want to but holy shit at least acknowledge the larger storytelling going on without JUST resorting to 2013 level criticism of the character. I still see mfs bash this poor raccoon because they just like being overly mean and media illiterate.
Yes, she's written to be a headstrong child.
Yes, she puts her friends in danger throughout the story.
No, she DOESN'T get away with ANY of it.
Yes, she learns from her mistakes in the end.
Both of these characters are awesome and it would be great if we could see these 2 interact more but good grief, I really wish we could escape 2013 Sonic level criticisms of some of these characters.
