I always figured SEGA/Sonic Team's intention with Knuckles and his echidna race was to model them after the Mayans. Sonic Adventure 1 isn't exactly subtle in its cultural influences.

Basically movie two third act villain will be Metal Sonic vs Sonic and Knuckles, third being Chaos (being Super Sonic’s “First super saiyan” moment)

And then if they continue, the fourth film will be Shadow.

Im willing to bet that Knuckles is the secondary villain in this with Metal being in 3. Metal will appear at the end of 2 which will set up the 3rd.

I just saw the trailer.

The character designs look off. Other than that, I guess that it was alright.

The only problem as i see is it would hard to for Eggman to make it work in the narrative with out it coming off as “Just a bigger machine than the first movie machine.”

The Emerald we saw from the Sonic The Hedgehog 2 trailer has been confirmed to be the Master Emerald.

This already looks better than the first. I also think it has more of a feel to the video games in the action sequences compared to the first one. I am looking forward to this and so are my friends.

Sonic 3 the movie will definitely bring Shadow, he's the most popular character after Sonic. This movie can bring in enough hype by having both tails and knuckles but the third movie would need something to make it appear "bigger and better".

Is the live action cop guy from the first movie not in this? I think that's what's missing, without him it feels like a CG movie instead of a live action movie with cg.

You mean Tom? He's in it, he's in the scene where they're in the canoe and he's talking to Sonic about being a kid etc.

Thanks Zarius. I'm looking forward to this movie.

I can't wait for this movie.

Hopefully the Shadow credits scene rumors are false, never liked the character, and there many others I would prefer to see.

No other character would get hype from a end credits trailer, he's really the only big character left to wow casual audiences and casual geek blogs to do the rounds. Metal Sonic isn't big enough which is the only other contender.

It's probably due to Shadow burnout.

He's inevitable but I can't see him appearing before Amy or Metal Sonic. Not only because they came first but Amy would attract more female audiences.

For movies they always need something "bigger" to convince audiences to go. Amy is not a big character to add as a way to get people excited for the next movie even if she is indeed added.

Sort of how Tails wasn't big enough to be the only new addition so they had knuckles. I don't see both Metal Sonic and Shadow being in the same movie since they're both basically evil Sonic. And Metal Sonic won't get casuals raving about it for months and months like Shadow would.

Anyone else think Sonic looks furrier and closer to his original design for this movie? Not to the extent as the original design but he doesn't look as game accurate as the redesign from the last movie. I also feel this movie is going to aim way younger in the demographic and it'll alienate the average older adult, which the movie was always on for kids but last movie they were able to get nostalgic adults to say the movie was good, I'm not sure to that will happen again.

Well, she could appear along with Shadow like what happened with Tails.

You guys are the first I've seen with any sort of negative feedback. All of the YouTube reactions have been positive.

I'm really looking forward to this one personally do to the game features in this and characters in here.

I hope the rumors of Shadow being in the credits is true, even none obsessed Sonic fans know about him, I think he's pretty cool.
