It does tackle a lot of cultural issues and how being born between so many cultures has an effect on how you connect with others. There has been some criticism that the depiction of the protagonist's sexuality seems inaccurate. I suppose it is one perspective. The protagonist suffers from many different things: an eating disorder, abusive parents, abusive relationships, gender normativity, heterornormativity, lack of cultural nuances. The protagonist herself is at times horribly abusive and mean. The fact she can lapse into such things makes the character relatable in some ways and petty in others, which I believe was authorial intent. It is a fascinating read and can be informative and for POCs it is relatable on the sense of feeling out of place in regards to cultures and Westernisations and how one connects with world. The novel is an exploration of perceived 'otherness': sexuality, ethnicity, nationality, transnationality, prejudices, habits, behaviours, mental health and relationships with others.

I am really happy they went for the redesigns and made Sonic look more like his video game self. The movie is fun and enjoyable, it has a good way of inserting game mythos and the execution of Sonic is pretty believable and relatable. Jim Carey killed it as Dr. Robotnik. Robotnik is eccentric and mean. He is also pretty funny and does clearly strange things in all adaptations. So, Carey had his character down. Overall, the movie is quite fun. You see it as an adaptation of a video game trying to put together aspects of the game narratives but also including a real world setting to serve as its own original context. And, you appreciate how they assemble those elements together.
