What are the odds of having someone talk about how the film is going to be bad during the entire existence of said film's production?

Was my most wanted movie...now my most wanted sequel. Not a surprise but glad to see it confirmed.

I just saw it again the other day when my Blu-ray came in. It’s better a second time. I think I was too excited before. It seemed to fly by.

Tails is confirmed and probably safe to assume Knuckles. Robotnik must meet someone along the way.

Biggest thing I want is Super Sonic. Show the special zone on his map. Some have suggested they might need to rework the chaos emeralds since requiring 7 could be complicated in a movie. Perfectly fine.

I mean, if they were smart they could do a whole trilogy about collecting all seven Chaos Emeralds. That's what I'd do. Maybe they could combine elements of Sonic CD and Sonic Adventure, and make one or two of the Emeralds really hard to get, to the point where he has to travel through time to get them. They could do a whole movie about that sh*t by itself. If you have one main plotline - the Seven Emeralds - and you plan it out properly, you can incorporate elements from a bunch of different sources and get three solid movies worth of material, easily. You can get a bunch of different characters and elements in there while keeping everything geared in line with one main "basic" story. Chaos would make a great villain for that kind of arc, if you think about it. They could easily do a "remixed" version of Sonic Adventure over three movies if they did it right. That'd be awesome. Screw it, they already got Sonic messing around with humans, might as well lean into the game that got the most out of that, and also had the best villain of the 3D Sonic games.

See, they should let me book this sh*t. That's what I'd do. I don't chirp about it but I know my Sonic horseshit. :trazz:

Ya that sounds pretty cool. The emeralds themselves already have the ability to time travel don’t they? I feel like that should be one of the reasons Robotnik wants them. Unless they say you don’t need all of them and certain colored ones can give certain abilities.

I was thinking something like the special zone, being a mysterious void, required special access before a ring could take you there. A place that required moving fast or it would zap you out. It could be a mix of the tilting grid, half pipe and spheres.

Like its accessible to anyone who knows the secret to opening it but everyone who’s tried has failed to defeat its obstacles. Obviously Sonic would be the one going in. That’s still only 3.

I’ll have to think it over some more.

Hogwash. Sonic Hogwash:)

Finally some good news.

Great.

I wonder if this one will have the same production issues as the first movie.

That doesn't flout the shittiness of the chickenshit swear filter.

I'm goin' for BINGO! :lol::lol::lol:

And it's begun

Maybe Robotnik can build himself an Eggfinity Gauntlet.

Hope the next movie has higher stakes than the first one. And hopefully spend less time on Earth.

The first one was much better than I thought it could have been, but these are two pretty valid opportunities, I'd say.

Hopefully the sequel deals with the Chaos Emeralds. They are like the Infinity Stones in the Sonic universe. Also Knuckles is the sole guardian of the Master Emerald on Angel Island.

And Sonic is blue.

As long as they don't go completely overboard and keep the more fantastical elements somewhat grounded in reality, I'm all for it. I think a big part of the success of the Sonic movie was that it downplayed the inherent ridiculousness of the franchise extremely well.

I think you'll start losing people when you introduce characters like Shadow and Silver, or tack on things that aren't justified/explained well enough in-universe. Basically, good writing, which is a tall order for the majority of movies these days.

It's currently scheduled to arrive on ^*April 8^th, 2022.

^*It'll probably be subject(ed) to change, though.

They realize this, which is why it wasn't an animated movie and instead live action and taking place on Earth. Sequel will likely have Tails as a main character along Sonic and I'm sure we'll see more of Sonic's world but only briefly since the movie will take place mostly on Earth. Now I'm sure if they keep making movies by Movie 4 we will see Shadow and others and it'll be aimed mainly at little kids by then so who cares.

Two updates:

Storyboard artist, Fill Marc, has announced that he will be storyboarding the sequel.

Knuckles may be set to appear in said sequel.

I don't know.

Either way, I think that the sequel will bomb.

You though that as well for the first and I thought it'd be a huge hit as big as Detective Pikachu and I was right. This is despite getting the inferior Sonic re-design instead of the furrealtic original design ;p

Ah, but this time I think that it will actually flop.

Sequels usually aren't as successful as their predecessors.

That makes sense.

I'm okay with Shadow and The Chaotix. I don't know much about Blaze, Big the Cat, Fang the Sniper, Honey the Cat, Rouge the Bat, Sticks the Cat, Amy Rose, or Silver. However, I'll be just fine if none of them show up in the sequel.

Metal Sonic would be a neat idea if the movie needs another adversary in case Knuckles doesn't get duped by Robotnik.

Knuckles was a given with how the first started and ended. We basically know what he’ll look like too.

Metal Sonic seems more likely in a potential third movie (I don’t wanna assume but I hope it gets 3). Part 2 seems like it’ll focus on Sonic/Tails vs Robotnik/Knuckles until he finds out he’s the bad guy.

We might see the Master Emerald since Knuckles is supposed to guard it. Maybe that’s why it appears on the map. To indicate it’s related to one the locations. Of course Sonic does not know yet and thinks Mushroom Hill is a wasteland.

I reckon it’s gonna be a mix of live action setting and cgi. I have faith in the team. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Terminator 2, Home Alone 2, Shrek 2, Toy Story 2, Deadpool 2, The Dark Knight.

You’re always so negative, pessimistic and don’t know what you’re talking about so whatever.

I do think that by now there's been enough Good Sequels to the point where we can retire the "sequels by default are generally bad/unsuccessful" trope. Sure.

But it just as well can go either way. The ones that shine are still generally Good Movies in and of themselves; the ones that fail or underperform generally aren't. And then you still have things like Transformers 2 which made a ton of money despite being absolutely godawful. Like I actually didn't hate the first Transformers movie but the second one is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. As was the third one. And the fourth one. Same thing with the "Saw" franchise. They all made a ton of money, but... Jesus.

So yeah, I just think it's impossible to predict these things either way until the movie itself exists. There's been enough Good Sequels and Bad Sequels and "Sequels That Were Bad But Still Made Money" to the point where it can be safely stated that there really isn't any formula by which these things can be predicted in advance.

Spider-Man 2, Terminator 2, and the Avengers movies say hi.

Young Guns II made a hair less than its predecessor - and was less profitable overall because its budget was twice as high as the first's - and yet, it remains the greatest sequel film ever made.

Facts.

Only thing is, at least in tone, you shouldn't have part 1 take place in the real world and part 2 be a CGI fest. At the very least we need the cop guy to tag along or something. I know everyone is itching to have a Sonic movie more like the games but the first movie was endearing and should not just be forgotten.

It won’t forget earth. Tom and Maddie are important to Sonic and Robotnik wants to come back.

I think they’ll include one or two new game locations. Besides what we saw in part one. They’ll probably use an earth location that sort of doubles as a game one. Like San Francisco was basically City Escape.

Sonic world locations will depend on the storyline and where they’d need to travel.

Godfather II. The Color of Money. Aliens. Road Warrior. Before Sunset. Desperado. Spider-Man 2. Dawn of the Dead. Star Trek II. Blade 2.

Those were just the first three that came to mind. But, yeah, those too.

The only reason that the film made bank was because of the design change.

The film's borderline mediocre otherwise.

Nope, watched it with the family yet again today as our afternoon christmas flick and had a blast with it.

I agree the movie would've bombed with the original design despite being the same God dsmn movie. Reviewers would've but picked the plot and dialog but because they changed the design instead they praised it. Hypocrite reviewers

Not really, the movie had a lot of heart to it and Carrey killed it as Robotnik. If anything people would have found it harder to relate to Sonic cause his first draft design was so ****in ugly.

Kinda like the TMNT Out of the Shadows movie. That scene where Mikey gets sad cause he realizes humans see him as a monster falls flat due to the Micheal Bay designs making him look like a ****ing ugly monster.

Jason Momoa offered Knuckles
