Well Boom definitely is, that’s a whole different sphere. And don’t forget, the cartoon had a pretty rocky start with that supremely weak and unfunny first season. Kind of put me off it, to be honest. Even if it’s improved now, I could never really be bothered to get back into it.
The Twitter thing is basically just taking after the idea of the Wendy’s Twitter and similar things. It’s alright, but it’s ultimately fairly surface level.
And really, trying to understand what the fans want is pretty much impossible for them at this point. They pretty much rely on this blue bugger for income, so they need to keep the flow going, and the fanbase is so divided and toxic at this point that they can barely figure it out.
Some people want Adventure 3 or something like it, others just want it to be like the Classic games and nothing else, and others still couldn’t care less as long as it’s fun to play.

Heck, they tried that even with giving a character creator (basically OC maker) in Forces. They also had Shadow back, the story was trying and failing to give a underdog saving the world story in the spirit of the 90s cartoon - they were just pulling themselves in too many directions and didn’t put enough effort into any of those areas to do it.
