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.
Nowhere did I say Shadow and Metal Sonic will be in the same movie. This is just pure speculation based on Amy and Metal Sonic debuting before Shadow like in the games. If Shadow makes it in this universe, it'll be a while depending on how long this movie series goes on. As for Amy, regardless of her popularity, she's a character that would attract more female audiences (whether she's the only character to appear in say a Sonic 3 or 4 movie or not). Remember, these movies are also introducing new fans to these characters as well as catering to the Sonic fans.

I'm not trying to be negative, just speculating. I also speculated the previous sonic movie would be good, this was before the re-design when everyone shat on the movie. And again here I assume the movie will be intersting for me, I'm not sure if the general trendy geek audience that liked the last movie will like it. I'm Sure Sonic fans will like it easier but they can't make a movie successful alone. I think it'll be cool to see shadow in the end credits or a hint at him. I just think if they go the sonic metal route it won't be making a big splash among influencers and trendy geek blogs which build up hype.

I also think each movie with more Sonic friends joining the cast it'll continue to alienate audiences and continue to aim at a younger audience. There's a reason the first movie tried to be more "realistic".

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.

Kinda bizarre that back in 2014 the TMNT franchise was on the up with a successful animated series and big budget live action movies. Now it's a dying franchise with a cartoon that barely lasted two seasons and it's only hope for revival is crappy animated movie.

On the flip side the Sonic franchise was for a long time complete joke with a succession of bad games, TV shows and shattered fan base and while this isn't a complete turnaround we got Sonic Mania now it has a financially profitable live action movie franchise.

Out of all of Paramount's announcements yesterday which included new Star Trek, Transformers and TMNT the only thing which looks to be a success is SONIC.

The Sonic Movie almost wasn't successful at all. However, Paramount did something that is considered rare for a movie production studio. It listened to the fans and however it happened, Tyson Hesse got on board.

I'm not certain what happened to 2K3 version of TMNT, but I know that the producers for 2K12 version of TMNT listened to the fans of the OT enough to bring that alternate timeline in twice.

The games were just there for fun, but it does hit hard when they don't do as well as they could have.

Movie theaters sometimes give away free posters and banners. Hopefully your local theater will have some when the movie releases.

Knuckles will have a sense of humor in the movie according to Idris Elba, The kind of humor in which Knuckles talks about something seriously, But ends up sounding funny by the others, He mentions about a scene where Knuckles talks about ice cream seriously.

Suitable for an epic we all deserve.

Personally, I would have saved Knuckles for the 3rd movie and focused this sequel on building up Sonic and Tails' friendship.

I agree, but it is still a miracle that we are getting a sequel at all and that it might actually be better then the first one.
