Why does Knuckles feel more like Shadow in these clips?

I picked up on those vibes too.

Knuckles was more cool-headed in the old games. Naive? Yes. Aggressive? Not so much. However, he was a nuisance in Sonic 3 and I think that he was also a temporary antagonist in the Game Gear Triple Trouble game. The later games had him abandon The Floating Island for some reason, probably because SEGA assumed that Sonic needed another buddy.

I didn't like the direction that Sonic Underground went, but that cartoon did about the most accurate version of Knuckles so far. (I'm talking about the first episode that he appeared in.)

I think Sega generally don't care that much about consistency about Sonic's world or characters beyond their general personalities, they can't even seem to decide if other humans besides Eggman exist. I wouldn't exactly be surprised if it turned out of most games featuring Knuckles are made without ever considering the existence of Angel Island or the Master Emerald, instead just assuming he's one of Sonic's buddies with no other obligations. I think the worst example of this is that Blaze alternates between being from another world and from the future depending on whether or not Silver is around.

But uh, yeah. Still hard to imagine Knuckles acting like this in the games, being aggressive and condescending seems more like Shadow.

Did anyone really think this movie was going to be more than mediocre?

[Leo656]

I think most video game movies are so bad that most people are more than satisfied by the Sonic movies being "Not Terrible".

Still haven't seen the first one. I should work on that I guess.

I went ahead and looked up the leak, it's real. If it's not, then someone went through the trouble of recreating costumes, deepfake actors and making a fairly elaborate bit of CGI to make a fake leak.

I just read the Pre-Quill comic that sets up the sequel, One of the big questions since the first movie was finally answered in this, The comic finally confirms that

Spoiler:

Longclaw is dead.

IT'S CONFIRMED, edgelords rejoice!

Shadow The flippin' Hedgehog is in Sonic 3. One of the last games from my childhood Sonic Adventure 2 is being adapted into a movie.

My first Avatar on the Technodrome forums was actually a Shadow the Hedgehog avatar

International Date Line Foo's Day?

If Jim is telling the truth

Spoiler:

...Then the movie does a pretty convincing job of leaving it open-ended. Robotnik's last seen falling to his death and he doesn't show up in the mid-credits, but his assistant Stone does. It's the movie's version of the ending of Sonic Satam where the big bad is defeated but now someone we all underestimate could now step up

International Date Line Foo's Day?

No, I just saw the movie. It's real

Spoiler:

Also, Super Sonic is in it

Alright, I just watched this movie. It is stupid and several effects are bad. It's not really a good movie by any means but it's barely worse than the first one, so if you liked that one it's not like this one is going to piss you off. A good chunk of this movie could easily be considered filler and quite a bit of that is about the sister-in-law getting married, which just felt tacked on in many ways.

As for any details, in case anyone is still wondering, much of Knuckles' characterisation in the trailers is misleading and a few lines are missing. Knuckles in the actual movie feels like some bizarre mixture of what he was like in Sonic Boom (oblivious and slow witted) and Piccolo from Dragon Ball (brooding loner warrior type).

Some of the dumber bits in the movie is the sister-in-law speculating that the person who waxed her (what is implied to be) pubic hair was spying on her, and Knuckles suggesting they should attack Eggman's groin. Speaking of Eggman, Sonic calls him Robotnik more than he does Eggman, which is weird to me.

It's not made entirely clear, but it is possible that Sonic, Knuckles and Tails may in fact be from different planets rather than the same one. I'm not sure if that's the implication, the Echnidas, Owls and Sonic all seemed to be from the same planet in the first one. This one however makes it clear that the owls traveled around the universe, Tails specifies "his" planet rather than "their" planet and several characters and factions are referenced in relation to the galaxy or universe.

As for spoilers:

Spoiler:

Eggman escapes the mushroom planet by contacting human sized humanoids in masks, seemingly from the same planet as Knuckles. I don't know what to make of that, I know Sonic X had humans on Sonic's world apart from the ones on Earth. I guess that these movies draw from Sonic X more than any other adaptation but in kind of a loose way. To be honest Sonic X itself is kind of confusing in the regards to the multiple planets and the creatures living on them, I'm not sure what to make of either. Maybe they were these seperate humans, maybe they were they were just aliens, who knows? I think the universe is meant to be a mix of alien humans and furries like in Sonic X but it's hard to tell.

The Chaos Emeralds were used to forge the Master Emerald and, up until the climax, were contained within it. When Sonic scatters the emeralds, Knuckles takes the shards and repairs it, so now it exists as it's own thing apart from the Chaos Emeralds and now it's being kept in a a cooler. Not sure if that means it's less powerful or not. I'm guessing this is the explanation for why Knuckles can travel around and still guard it, something the games never quite explained (though I guess SA2 showed that he could just shove it up his ass). There is no mention of Chaos or a puddle sliding around when the Master Emerald breaks as far as I could tell.

Yes, Shadow is in the after credits scene. Much like in Sonic X, I don't know what to make of it. I can't tell if he's an alien like Sonic or if it's just a coincidence. It's implied he has some connection to Eggman, meaning the Ark is probably a thing in the third movie.
