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.

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.

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".
