Preeeeeeeeeetty big assumptions Sonic 2 won't bomb. I mean, I'm sure it'll be awesome, but wow.

Remember how Amazing Spider-Man 2 spent more time advertising for part 3 then focusing on their own movie and well.... part 3 never came.

[TigerClaw]

The 3 has a very specific shade of red and has stripes, So its possible Shadow will be in this, He has a red stripe.

Oh wow, the color red must mean he's in it, what amazing skills you have figuring that out. I mean, there is nothing beyond the red color to imply it has something to do with Shadow, you must really be genius to figure it out!
Just FYI, I'm not ruling out the possibility that he would be in this movie, I just think your reasoning is flimsy.

Two movies? Sonic 3 & Knuckles

How do we have to lock them in to get the real ending?

[TigerClaw]

Thought I create an official thread for the 3rd Sonic Movie when ever we get any news about it.

Patrick Casey and Josh Miller who are the writers from the previous Sonic movies says that the 3rd movie will incorporate elements from Sonic Adventure 2 and the Shadow The Hedgehog spinoff game.
https://tailschannel.com/sonic-the-hedgehog/shadow-voice-actor-sa2-story-tease-q-a-screenwriters/
When asked about Amy, and if she could appear in the sequel, the duo couldn’t answer it properly due to a non-disclosure agreement, but said that things are “in the works”.

In regards to Jim Carrey possibly retiring from acting, the duo was hopeful to bring him back for the third film, but said that it was mainly up to Carrey.

Miller was careful not to comment on specific plotlines for the third film, but concluded it was “not revealing”, given Shadow’s introduction to the movie franchise, that there are plans to incorporate elements from Sonic Adventure 2 and the Shadow the Hedgehog spin-off game in the film.

Nothing can be said about Shadow’s voice actor, but the idea of aiming for a famous Hollywood actor to voice the hedgehog was not ruled off.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is currently on what is called the “Blue Sky phase” of scriptwriting, where every idea of what the movie could be is being proposed, and the staff streamlines it into what the movie should be.

The producers are aware of the fans’ desire to get Crush 40 to appear in a Sonic film. Even though the movie planning is early, Casey did not rule off the idea of getting the band in the next film.

Miller: “In each new Sonic movie, as long as the people got the appetite for them, we’ll keep adding yet another person from the game universe.”

[Coola Yagami]

Weren't there rumors of Carrey actually waiting to gain weight to be a more proper Eggman?

[neatoman]

God... Do we really need to add ideas from Shadow's solo game? I thought SA2 added enough context clues about how Shadow got his powers, The Ark scientists were experimenting with the Chaos Emeralds and that's where Shadow got his powers from, we didn't need the weird "alien blood transfusion" crap.

[Shark_Blade]

Shadow was created from Black Doom’s blood so it could be interesting to see that in the movie.

[TigerClaw]

Also Shadow was created 50 years ago, It has to explain how Gerald Robotnik get ahold of Hedgehog DNA to create Shadow

[Wildcat]

I have the Shadow game and finished it but I don’t remember much of it now. I’m sure there’s some interesting things they can use from it though.

I have to go back and refresh my mind on Shadow’s whole backstory.

[Leofan26]

If Amy appears as being hinted at it'd to some hilerious moments.

I never played Shadow's game, But in that game the villain is Black Doom, and has something to do with Shadow's origin, He gave Gerald some of his DNA to create him.

[neatoman]

I have the Shadow game and finished it but I don’t remember much of it now. I’m sure there’s some interesting things they can use from it though.

I have to go back and refresh my mind on Shadow’s whole backstory.

Well, the game mostly contradicts itself due to how many branching paths there are, making it hard to get a grasp really happened in the story.

If you want the short version of what the game is (presumably) trying to say about Shadow's backstory:
A demonic looking alien overlord called Black Doom allowed Gerald to take some blood samples from him, transfusing this blood into Shadow in order to make him the Ultimate Lifeform. Black Doom intended to use Shadow to help him conquer Earth but Gerald prepared Shadow to stop him instead. Anything else is just repeated from SA2.

If you want my opinion, it's an idiotic addition. Any context clues in SA2 regarding the creation of Shadow indicated his powers came from the Chaos Emeralds as part of a series of Chaos Emerald experimentation. Saying Shadow got his powers from a blood transfusion with an alien is just weird, Sonic clearly doesn't need something like that use the Emeralds, so why does Shadow?

[Wildcat]

Ya that might be a little too wild for the movies to adapt.

I remember at the time one of the jokes about Shadow was he was supposed to be the ultimate life form...that just happened to look like Sonic?

Off the top of my head I’m thinking a better explanation could be that Gerald Robotnik actually discovered Sonic’s world and based Shadow on his species.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

I never played Shadow's game

It's not a good game and the story is hilariously awful but you might have some fun with it gameplay wise. It's one of those games that is janked up the ass and you will get annoyed by the amount of bugs it has but the gunplay can actually be pretty fun. You can argue that Shadow wielding weapons is idiotic which I would agree on because renegade or not, he shouldn't waste his time on those when his powers are capable enough but the guns work for the most part. The vehicles though...you can stay away from those within a ten foot pole.

As for the movie, it's best to keep any elements of Shadow's game out. Bad ideas then, bad ideas now.

[DarkFell]

Knowing that this movie will be family-friendly, Shadow won't be able to use guns or other weapons, and he'll probably have a weird backstory tied to G.U.N.

What happened to Maria onboard The Ark will have to be heavily edited to keep the movie PG, which means both of them might not be used within the final script.

Yeah, I think that plans for the third movie got rushed out a bit too soon.

[sdp]

I unironically love Shadow the Hedgehog, my first Avatar on the technodrome was Shadow. Who cares if we get an accurate Shadow the Hedgehog origin or not, the actual story of shadow is so dumb that changing it up a bit as long as the essence is there works.

As far as the Shadow the Hedgehog game, it's an awesome game that gets tons of underserved hate. Remember when Sonic Adventure 2 came out and people wanted a game with only Sonic levels? Well that's exactly what Shadow the Hedgehog was, the star fox like choose your own path worked great for replay value. Yeah it has all the same camera and other problems the previous games had but if you just wanted more sonic levels that's what you got.

Using weapons and vehicles was actually a lot of fun, who cares if it made sense or not. And the story well it's cheesy and edgy but it's entertaining. It's not like the story of Adventure 1 and 2 are anything amazing either. I mean it's a story of a character called Sonic the Hedgehog, I just need a reason to go from point A to point B. I don't want deep lore for a blue hedgehog with gloves as long as I get a plot that entertains me.

I think this movie will be great and boy will it bring the autism to a max when a new generation of kids loves Shadow unironically as well. The movie will get bad scores but it'll be a glorious movie. No doubt Shadow alone being in the movie guarantees it'll be a success. I just wonder what they'll do for a Sonic 4 to keep the interest going. Or perhaps they'll just say "**** it, our main audience is kids" like the Ice Age movies did and stop caring about what the next movie is since kids will eat it up anyway.

Why would Sonic drive a car?

Good on you for making the problem even more obvious.

According to Sonic himself he drives cars because it’s cool. 2:22.

I remember reading something like he likes the competition so he races in cars to play fair. I like that. Maybe it was a fan explanation.

In the movie they did not need the cop car. They could have flown away after hitting Knuckles.

exactly, I read somewhere that some of the people behind the sonic movie worked on shadow the hedgehog so I'd like to see how they interpret that storyline.


I'm also interested in seeing who's gonna voice Shadow, I like Jason Griffith's portrayal but it sounds like a celebrity is gonna voice him for sonic 3, let's hope it's a good performance.

I take it Carrey isn't coming back then...we'd have heard something by now if filming's started

[Wildcat]

If he’s really retiring or taking a break I could see Robotnik just showing up at the end in the ARK or something. The movies don’t follow the games specifically so hard to guess what’ll be the main threat. It’s not Shadow. He’s not actually a villain just a rival.

I really hope Jim Carrey returns though. They could be keeping his involvement hidden.

[Coola Yagami]

Carrey retiring was outta nowhere. I was sure he signed for all 3 Sonic films before he announced it. Also, without him (or even worse, having some lame-ass replacement) will hurt the film. To what degree, it's too soon to say, but it will be a low point of Sonic 3.

I'm reminded that season three of Sonic SATAM was going to go a bit without Robotnik, replacing him with Snively and Nagus, who were series exclusive characters. Sonic and Tails would have been among the only carry overs from the games if that had been made.

With the movie coming out in December 2024, We still have the Knuckles series coming out the same year, Which will take place between 2 and 3.

Yeah to be fair, Sonic and Tails were the only characters around when that series was made (other than Robotnik and I guess Metal Sonic). Sonic 3 came out too late to see if they were gonna add Knuckles or not.

Unless Paramount can convince Jim Carrey to come back or somehow find someone to replace him (which is highly unlikely), I don’t see this making it into the final cut, if it is indeed real.

How they're going to handle the backstory is the thing though. At best, there will be implications just like with Knuckles' father in the last movie.:lol:

It would’ve been very strange if Jim Carey didn’t return as Robotnik/Eggman since Shadow is going to have a big part in this film.

I really liked the first one - innocent and fun. But I never would have guessed it would have resulted in a full-on trilogy and a spin-off.

I guess they really did a great job exploiting the existing Sonic fanbase and bringing in new fans. It's very cool.....

Looks awesome...my only complaint is Chaos are not real in this universe. Since they’re sitting at a Chao themed restaurant or garden that means it’s an earth franchise that comes from Japan like Hello Kitty.

It would have been cute if they were part of Sonic’s world or some other place and Amy brought one with her whenever she shows up. I mean if they don’t go as far as introducing Cream.

I’m a sucker for the hero/villain team up trope so I really like Sonic and Robotnik working together. I’m very interested to see what the real villain will be. We know Shadow will change his stance by the end.

Maybe it’s Robotnik who waits for the end to strike with Metal Sonic and that’s why he bargains for the quill. He built him while in hiding and needs a quill to activate him? I really don’t know what it could be because I feel like Metal Sonic would upstage Shadow so they wouldn’t do that yet.

Keanu Reeves sounds cool and love the humor...Knuckles announcing Shadow is more impressive and Robotnik ripping Stone’s shirt.

What are the odds of this movie changing the minds of the Shadow haters?

This Shadow won’t be the same Shadow from the games.

Notice the line “I’m Nothing Like You”?

I’m thinking that’s a line that Shadow will say at some point in the movie.

My prediction: Sonic will try to talk Shadow out of destroying the world by pointing out the similarities between them (their incredible power, losing someone they cared about, etc.) and Shadow will snap at him, stating that they are nothing alike.

This conversation will probably take place during this scene:

https://media1.tenor.com/m/N6r6gZRvm00AAAAC/looking-at-the-reflection-sonic.gif

Again, Shadow will snap at Sonic and try to take him out:

All the trailers for the movie so far look really good.I highly disagree with the Shadow 13 inch Deluxe plush. The quality control is so bad. His face is out of proportion and doesn’t match the promo model on the box. The eyes are often disconnected from his mouth area and/or misshapen. Many YouTube videos mention it too.

I was very excited to buy it until I saw the in-hand pics and reviews so I passed. A real shame because the Sonic plush from Movie 2 (which I have) is very cute and would have paired perfectly with Shadow.

Both deluxe Movie 3 plushies don’t look right. Sonic is very hit or miss. I recommend anyone who wants Sonic to get the Movie 2 release.

I really liked the Knuckles show. Just not the Musical portion. Thankfully it was just one segment. Other than that I thought it was a good little side story.

I know people expected a Knuckles focused adventure but I really enjoy seeing Sonic characters hang out with their human friends.

I know I'm in the minority but growing you imagine what it would be like to be friends with fictional characters and what kind of stuff you'd do and this along with the first movie hits on that.

Of course there should be action and such but I'm just saying it's nice to see them in everyday life.

Wedding scene makes sense. You paid for all those actors, so put them all into that one segment so that the sonic characters can be center stage for everything else.

[Coola Yagami]

I really hope the third movie doesn't have too many scenes that require you to have watched the Knuckles show. I hate when movies do that. Spin offs are only ok if they don't ruin the flow of the movies where you're not stuck not know what's going on because you didn't see episode 5 or some show.

The scenes with Maddie's sister went on for too long. She works in small doses but it felt like I stepped into a Madea movie.

Also, there's debate on whether Amy and Rouge will be in the movie. Amy I could see either as a post-credits character or if in the movie, she has a minor role. Rouge however, I don't think will happen.

I won't watch this movie because there are no important female characters. As if women can't be heroic, strong and intimidating. Innovative, savy, smart, emotionally stunted etc.
Sonic-related media could only improve itself by completely replacing and/or diversifying existing characters.
For its 30 or more years being shown on the screen for children and still considering boys a more important demographic. This trend needs to end. Moreover, looks like they live in a place where adorable furry women live with tampered, limited rights and they should not speak. This show with male party is popular because it got rich and can have a movie, not because women like seeing themselves marginalized in this franchise.

[ticktack]

This won't ever be like Charlie's Angles showing on big screens. There's nothing about this show that will become groundbreaking in uplifting misrepresented social groups. We won't get an all-female furry action show from Sega.

1) Women would watch it more if women were important there.You can find women in superhero, presumably boy-centered shows where women are just there and quite interesting instead of being token exception or non-existent. You can try finding them.
2) Don't forget about likes of action shows like Kim Possible, original Charlie's Angel's and Totally Spies that were successful.
3) More like Sonic media has become a chauvinistic anecdote for me, honestly. Like "why does Sonic-land women get assaulted" "because they went outside and wore short skirts", "why Knuckles didn't get assaulted""because he was a man". It seems in my anecdotes sonic media is as backwards as in other backwords countries for women's rights actually. And the folk there might have made that impression about their franchise, perhaps, unknowingly.
4) Women's demographic are clearly erased despite them also being more relevant viewers growing up. Literally a girl had more interest watching a colored furry than the boys. But you chose to ignore that.
5) doesn't mean can't relate? Only women there, if they ever appear, are bad archetypes of women. I'd also like to see a main female character who's heroic, a little likes to brag and sometimes jokes, right. But doesn't stay a jerk if it's a positive character.
5) At least Saban knew that its female demographic was also important and beneficial. So it had more than 2 women in their shows as their main characters.

Super Smash Bros movie confirmed?

And they already have a ton of Super Mario Bros.' 3D assets from the Illumination movie. And imagine like a full Smash Bros. movie with even half of the characters from the last Smash Bros. game... that'd be incredible. Like what people were thinking Ready Player One would be like, but much better.

[TigerClaw]

I'm not even a furry and I'm ****ing hard.

If they show the Biolizard I think I'm going to coom.
I don't think the Biolizard will be in the movie, I posted a screenshot in one of my post that shows what's looks like the big moment.

I loved this joke. Very cute moment between them.

Too bad Detective Pikachu can’t crossover because Pokémon are part of society in that movie and they’re clearly nowhere in the Sonic movies.

I was really disappointed when they referenced Ghostbusters in part 2 because it establishes that Ghostbusters is only a movie in this world.

Not that I expected a Sonic-GB crossover but still...now it’s not even hypothetically possible. Not in the movies anyway.

[NeonTurtledude]

the trailer looks ok, the London setting is a bit weird though, it feels empty without rouge and Amy and paramount sonic is too naive in his attitude

What? First off, are they actually called that? Secondly...
... Is this like a teaser for part 4 or part of the actual plot of this movie? I know they already deviated a bit here by having Gerald alive, but it isn't this more less meant to be SA2 the movie? How does an army of Metal Sonic copies fit in here?

[ZariusTwo]

They're not named that specifically in the scene I just watched, but that's their name in the comics. Only thing that was missing was...

The Emperor

This seems to be the set-up for Part Four of the movies, it's a post-credits scene, Sonic's having a race with everyone and ends up alone in the forest where the Brotherhood attack him and Amy comes to the rescue with her mallet

[neatoman]

Sonic's having a race with everyone

And "everyone" includes which characters exactly?

[ZariusTwo]

And "everyone" includes which characters exactly?

I had read that he had a race with 'everyone' and ended up in the forest alone, the clip I saw only starts at Sonic battling the Brotherhood and rescued by Amy. I'm assuming the description I read beforehand was referring to Tails, Knuckles, maybe Shadow too if he got redeemed

Sonic 4 confirmed for 2027

https://variety.com/2024/film/news/sonic-the-hedgehog-4-release-date-2027-1236254778/

[LeotheLateBloomer]

Saw it last night! Movie was amazing! It balances the action, humor, and drama real well. Keanu really did a fantastic job as Shadow and his character really shows layers and expressions. This may not be the perfect Sonic film but it's pretty damn close. The best of the three films.

Live and Learn does play in the movie and it feels awesome!

Post Credits spoilers. There's two of them

Mid-Credits: Sonic goes into the forest and is approached by Metal Sonic and soon an army of them. As Sonic is about to get attacked, a mysterious character saves him...Amy Rose.

After credits: Shadow survives and finds one of his power rings.

[Allio]

So just got back from Sonic 3. And yes. Easily the strongest film of the series. I enjoy how this franchise learns from the previous films and the feedback that they get. You can tell this is more streamlined as to the negative reaction to the wedding scene from the 2nd film. But yeah, easily the best of the four projects

[TigerClaw]

Sonic Movie 3 is officially certified fresh and certified hot.

Just got back from watching it. Definitely the best of the 3 movies, and it just brought me back to a joy I haven't had in so long. I had so much fun with this one.

[drgon78]

I saw it yesterday, loved it, can't wait for the 4th one.....2027...that will be a while.

[ZariusTwo]

Just saw it. 7/10.

Jim is much more impressive in his duel role of Gerald, his usual stint as Robotnik is entirely dumbed down for the kids now. Shouldn't have brought him back as he does nothing of note 'til the very end. Shadow is fine, they're semi-faithful to the games, but I was expecting him to fight more. Film's tone is at least more serious, less slapstick, and the human supporting cast isn't as intrusive this time.

[TigerClaw]

There's one point in the movie where they break the 4th wall.

There was a funny joke in the movie that was very meta, Ivo seeing that his grandfather looks like him, and says "We're like two characters played by one actor, In a movie!"

I thought it was a good line because it was meta.

[Coola Yagami]

I thought it was a good line because it was meta.

I think it was paraphrased, but yeah, that was pretty much the joke.

Robotnik mentioned how similar they look and how synchronized their movements are. "It's almost as if we were two different characters played by the same actor in a movie" and the both turn towards the camera.

I have to say they did an amazing job with all the scenes they had to directly interact in. There's a certain sequence where I have no idea how they pulled it off, full of incredible rapid-fire editing.

I think there was a reason he kept this line in the spoilers.

[Cowabung-Gal]

One thing that bugged me was Robotnik’s remark about him being unattractive to “all possible genders”. But then you have to remember that he’s not only an antagonist, but a crazy one at that, so you could take that as a joke about him trying to be “woke” or the producers poking fun at the gender ideology.

[neatoman]

I haven't watched the third one yet, but I do remember something that bugged me about the second one. Remember how all that "donut lord" stuff was set-up for Sonic calling Robotnik "Eggman" once they met, but then in the second one he mostly just calls him "Robotnik" instead? Kinda weird, right?

That didn't bother me at all, Robotnik could possibly be bisexual.

[ranger_scout]

I saw it on Saturday and it was easily the best film of the franchise. The movie was everything I could’ve hoped for as someone who grew up playing Sonic Adventure 2.

[neatoman]

I found the lore changes... Weirdly enough both surprising and not surprising at all. Like, I get why Gerald's lab was on Earth, why the Ark was reduced to just the Eclipse Cannon itself, why the Bio-Lizard is just the monster in an in-universe movie, why the Chao Garden is a kid's café and why Shadow is a mysterious alien instead of Gerald's creation. Including all that stuff as is would likely mean stretching concept that this is earth proper and not some fantasy world like in the games, but at the same time I kinda thought it would turn out that Gerald had opened a portal to Sonic's planet and that all that stuff could have applied there instead.

The fact that Shadow came from a black comet, Which in itself is a Black Arms reference is a mystery, He doesn't know his past prior to being on Earth, This is something they can explore on a Shadow spinoff.

[neatoman]

Another thing of note, I was under the impression that the Chaos Emeralds were removed from the Master Emerald which then became its own thing in the second movie, but here they are once again components of the Master Emerald? Did they retcon that or did I just miss something?

[Allio]

Missed it. Knuckles put the emeralds together again at the end of the second.

[neatoman]

Missed it. Knuckles put the emeralds together again at the end of the second.

Uh, yeah here's the sequence of events:

The Master Emerald crumbles in Sonic's hands and the Chaos Emeralds with their foll color fall out from crumbled and colorless fragments of the larger Emerald that encased them.
Sonic absorbs the Chaos Emeralds and transforms into Super Sonic.
Sonic relinquishes the Chaos Emeralds to the sky.
Knuckles reassembles the colorless fragments into the Master Emerald.

So because the Chaos Emeralds fell out of what seemed to be a crumbled casing, were sent into the sky and then Knuckles reassembled the Master Emerald from colorless fragments, it was always my assumption that what Knuckles made did not contain the Chaos Emeralds anymore and that those were scattered.

[Wildcat]

I saw it Monday and loved it. I only have 1 major complaint and it pains to say it because I think the overall movie is so good. I actually feel bad for criticizing it.

They barely use the song Live and Learn. They oddly cut to a Robotnik and Gerald scene in the middle of Super Sonic and Super Shadow and then back to them for another brief sequence where it starts up again.

Regardless of the song the final battle in their Super forms should have been longer. It was Shadow’s big turning point where he changes sides. They could have done something more. Not the Biolizard. Some kind of extra obstacle.

Maybe the Eclipse Cannon can fire defense lasers from any direction that they’d have to destroy first. Just something to make it more significant and include the entire song in the process.

The short time it plays with them onscreen is wonderful. It was really hitting me emotionally and then it just stops. We don’t even really hear lyrics. The words tie-in to Shadow’s story and everyone’s past about dealing with heartache.

It’s very strange because they know it’s a song the fan base loves and they made a deal with Crush 40 to use it however they wanted.

If we had gotten a longer Super fight (I mean after Shadow switches sides) with that song playing in full...I think the movie would have basically been perfect.

Well then this proves I can be critical when I feel it’s necessary. :D

But honestly I hate that I came away so disappointed by this one thing. The YouTuber BadnikMechanic had the same complaint. I didn’t know until I watched his review last night. I don’t think he was as bothered by it though. He was more so against the scene itself. I wanted them to add something to it.

Well at least they had it which was one of my biggest worries and from what I remembered they used it longer than the Japanese version of Sonic X did.

[Wildcat]

Well at least they had it which was one of my biggest worries and from what I remembered they used it longer than the Japanese version of Sonic X did.Ya but they use more or all of “End of the Line” for Shadow and Maria’s montage, “Wouldn’t It Be Nice?” for the Robotnik’s montage and “Galvanize” for their dance scene...which were good choices but Live and Learn carries more weight. It should have been given the same amount of time.

I’ve complained enough so I’ll stop going on about it. Rest of the movie absolutely wonderful.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

Was anyone hyped when Shadow rode the motorcycle or wielded the gun?

[ranger_scout]

I saw the film again on Saturday and it was just as epic as the first time. My brother who loves playing the games also loved it too.
