Sonic Movie

[peak dew]

blow his gormless brains out

yea knux and shadow are pitch perfect

[elder bear]

sonic is the worst btw

[peak dew]

sonic is a tad rough in places but it tracks considering he was a last minute redesign

[elder bear]

like even here sonic looks kinda rough while shadow is really great

[peak dew]

(and one that had to work around the old movie sonic’s rigging and materials, no less)

[paper cradle]

it didn't

materials maybe?

but the rigging is entirely different

it does not use the same rig, all animation had to be redone bc of that

[boreal hornet]

If these boxart images are sent again, I'm killing Santa Claus

No gifts for anyone

[ashen flower]

YOOOOO

[paper cradle]

made an edit to make it into just a box art recreation

[boreal hornet]

this will be graphics in 2013

[ashen flower]

I'm so glad we got this recreation of the boxart
the background is just a vibe

[paper cradle]

still one of my fav game boxarts

i just adore that specific gradient i think

like sa1 generally has a better boxart for that pose but god is the sa2 one clean too

[ashen flower]

I just love both these boxarts being so exrtra with the sky added in or the water or earth
kinda need something like that one more time

[paper cradle]

man what an insane evolution from that though

never forget when they tried to be in on the joke

[ashen flower]

this just feels like a buildup to some horror monster

[boreal hornet]

What we got wasn't too far off

Paramount is just horrible with this

The insanely overdetailed hard to read designs of the Bayformer bots, the hulking Shrek Ninja Turtles, and also their prototype design for what was supposed to be a cute squidlike alien for their film Monster Trucks only leading to a test audience of children being terrified and crying

Only in very recent years have we gotten very artist centered designs instead of weird execs thinking everything has to be some badass psuedo-realistic humanoid abomination

[worldly patio]

Crazy how the leaked concept we got shows they once considered a more "cute" normal-ish design only to shot it down for the abomination we initially got

[indigo vapor]

Do you think Ms Whipple and Shadow would have a bonding moment similar to Knuckles?

How would it go?

[sturdy token]

Bumblekast ass question

😭

Out of jokes though, I will answer it once I watch the movie

I need to figure out what this Shadow goes for with respect to mainline Shadow

[vast inlet]

I hope they continue using numbers for movies up until 10, that one should be called Sonic X

[tacit apex]

What year would be the release of Sonic X, Somewhere in the 2050s?

[vast inlet]

2040s

[tacit apex]

ok

[boreal hornet]

Sequel rot gonna hit hard by that point

[tacit apex]

By then, the technology would be so advance, movie releases would be a lot sooner.

[boreal hornet]

No that's not how that works

[vast inlet]

Yeah, true, but also consider

Fast & Furious

[tacit apex]

Like the amount of time it takes to render a couple of frames would be way way less.

[boreal hornet]

Oh yea free money printer

[wanton forum]

Rendering isn’t really the rate limiting factor with movies though

Like movie making has existed for literally over a century

[boreal hornet]

Yea and that's all done relatively quicker nowadays like, we already got crazy rendering shit

[tacit apex]

Rendering will only increase when we go far beyond 8k

[boreal hornet]

If you want slop to come out quicker you want it made by machines instead of humans

Because there's more than just posing and rendering the furry rats for a fucktillion frames

[tacit apex]

there be so many Sonic movies and TV shows many many years from now, The fans will debate which era of the movies is the best

[dusty lotus]

[wanton forum]

.

[vast inlet]

I still think 4's gonna be the point where it'll start to go a bit downhill

[boreal hornet]

Yea we reached the epitome

[dusty lotus]

Agreed

[boreal hornet]

Everything past ain't gonna stick the landing

[peak dew]

I reckon it depends on who from the team & cast sticks tbh

[boreal hornet]

When Jeff Fowler or Tyson punch outta these, it's about to fall off

[peak dew]

stand by the fact that once Carrey leaves/starts harrison-Ford-style phoning it in its joever

[vast inlet]

At best maybe 5 will be better if they do the whole Chaos and SA1 adaptation, but that's probably the final final thing you can adapt with the similar scale

[peak dew]

Oh god 100% those two as well, yea

[vast inlet]

And yeah, if even one of them stops, it's over

[boreal hornet]

Exactly, if either of them aren't coming back, just toss it in the bin

[peak dew]

granted, I could easily see Tyson leading up one of these as director one day

[boreal hornet]

I dunno if Paramount would allow that but would be fascinating

[peak dew]

Either one of the numbered entries or whenever the inevitable animated flick happens

he’s got proven chops by this point

[dusty lotus]

I feel like if they wanted to stop from it dragging 5 is good

[boreal hornet]

But the true inevitability is that when one of these produces just a lil less than expected, yea Sonic ain't coming back to the big screen for a long ass time lol

[peak dew]

think it depends on how much sega’s both bankrolling and getting outta them too

[boreal hornet]

True

Forgot about Sega

[wanton forum]

I am genuinely curious on how that works

Like obviously they benefit massively indirectly too from the movies

[boreal hornet]

Just glancing over at what Hasbro did and staring with fear

[peak dew]

it’s the primary reason why the transformers films are prolly in danger now, hasbro’s pulling out of providing budget for fil-

yea read my mind lol

can’t believe one guy spamming every reply section shilling TFO didn’t save the movies smh smh…………

(sidenote but man the ending of that film hits less hard post-Luigi lmao)

[wanton forum]

I do wonder if paramount will push to get all those Transformer rides in universal parks rethemed to sonic eventually - they’re mostly screen based and have been around for a while so I wouldn’t be surprised

[peak dew]

Ooo damn, yeah that’d be rad

the queue lines are already sci-fi military base themed, just make em GUN

ez

[boreal hornet]

Bumblebee, now working for the government rejecting insurance claims peacefully until Ironhide has had enough

[tacit apex]

TFO would've done better, If they market it better, The first trailer didn't leave a good impression, and people dismissed it because the teaser trailer made it comedic.

[boreal hornet]

Not just that

The release is just shit

[peak dew]

I mean
it is a comedic film when it wants to be lol, that trailer was not as out of place tonally with the film as people seem to think it was

[boreal hornet]

Too late into the Summer it practically was in Fall so a lot less free time for families if they just had this come out during the proper Summertime section

Yea the film had a buncha wacky jokes and quips

It was a good movie but still was a comedy trying to go through serious bits with some janky ass writing.

they should've really cut the line referencing that song from the G1 film that shit was awkward af

[peak dew]

yea like, it has serious moments but I’m not gonna pretend its 1984 levels of serious lol, it’s about as serious as a Pixar film which like

that’s fine! That’s good! Doesn’t need to be more, and the ads didn’t need to somehow dwell on that darker aspect

Um

They are correct though

It's no. 1 worldwide because Sonic didn't release everywhere else

[sturdy token]

Yeah, just I say that the post got community noted and it was hilarious that it happened (at the very least, I just found it funny)

but not necessarily because I think is right or correct for it to happen

[peak dew]

Finished sonic 2

yeah that’s still a damn good movie

wedding scene is absolutely held together by Rachel but that aside it’s all go all the time, good stuff

also I wish I’d actually been keeping count of how many people Tom punched in these movies

[sturdy token]

Rachel doing the heavy lifting

Now will you watch the Knuckles series? Or are you going straight into movie 3?

[peak dew]

Tom punches a looooooootta people lmao

[peak dew]

straight to 3, knux show is too recent in my memory for a rewatch tbh (hadn’t seen the first two in several years)

(also I can’t be fucked to find a download before the cinema trip tomorrow lol)

[sturdy token]

I have a site to watch it without downloads

My sister recommended it to me and it does wonders

[peak dew]

Cheers for the offer, may take you up on it at some point but

it’s also 2am lol whoops

[sturdy token]

Okay, have a nice night

[sturdy token]

Tom will punch whoever is in the way of what he thinks it's right

That includes plenty of federal agents, what a goat

Ah, yeah, they were shout outs to WB and Disney, weren't they.

Donald, Daisy, Daffy...

Yeah he was a cop in Green Hills but the town was so calm that he felt like he didn't do any difference

just wished to help others

Ironically, Sonic satisfied that need

I’m sorry but tails in sonic 2 pissed me off

think pretty much everything Knux in 2 is pitch-perfect tbh

He was so annoying

Especially when most of his sentences were like “Sonic THE hedgehog”

Man was stalking sonic in the bathroom too 😭

[slow maple]

Hm...

Box office is not doing well at all tbh

:/

I was hoping it would tough it out but every day it's coming well below expectations

The weekend total is gonna be closer to $60 mil than $62 mil

And on Christmas day Mufasa is doing better as of now

Kinda disheartening cause I was hoping this would really have some big numbers

But now even doing better than Sonic 2 isn't totally in the bag

[analog trout]

yeah, kinda got a heart attack suddenly seeing Mufasa hit past a hundred million

though tbf, I don't think Sonic has hit international markets yet, so we'll have to wait and see in a few days

[slow maple]

Huh

Oh no international doesn't matter

Lmao

If Mufasa wasn't gonna hit $100 mil that would've been a disaster

[night anvil]

homelander breathing out of his mouth gif

[slow maple]

With worldwide

Only reason Sonic isn't at $100 mil is cause it's coming out next week in most countries

It would've been $150 by now

Like Mufasa is doing so bad that World Wide expectations went from $180 mil 4 days ago to actuals being ~$120 mil

Christmas is gonna give it a boost but it's never gonna meet expectations, especially domestically

[night anvil]

Is it gonna make its budget back or

[delicate galleon]

It most likely will with word of mouth

also depends on total gross
Movie would need to make $244 million USD to break even

[median marsh]

I honestly don’t know if it’ll break even

[analog trout]

yeah, sometimes studios stick with the wrong takeaways

they would probably assume no one wants to see Sonic anymore

[sturdy token]

the movie only needs to do 2-3 times it's budget to be a commercial success

and so far, it has a good pace

let's just give it time

[ivory loom]

yea

technically, it still hasnt come out in australia cause we're in advanced screenings

[ivory loom]

||CHRIST that trailer was spoilery, thank god i didnt watch that :)||

[shadow hound]

someone remind me, when does the film hit internationally again?

[sturdy token]

25th is when it begins

[slow maple]

Alright

I should clarify

Cause the fear mongering is misplaced

Sonic is breaking even and it's not gonna be close

I'm just saying that it's not doing as well as I'd hoped in the US and could potentially not beat Sonic 2 overall

But $240 mil to break even is cake. Both previous movies did well over $300 mil and Sonic 2 did $400 mil

And no

It's not flopping

It's already past the point of flopping

But it's possible at this point that it won't improve much or at all from Sonic 2

Which is very unfortunate

Because the ceiling for the Sonic brand is easily way higher, yet the numbers are stagnant

[night anvil]

(I was talking about Mufasa here lol)

[slow maple]

Dont think fiery was lol

[sturdy token]

Mufasa needs 400 million to break even

[night anvil]

jesus christ

[elder bear]

ok nah this movie is def gonna do better than second one

holiday legs will carry

$62M opening is still has a chance to get at $300M domestically and considering that all sonic movies had 50/50 on global box office this is def gonna do better than second

[slow maple]

It's probably gonna be less than 62

60 or 61

The Sunday drop is looking pretty bad

$300 mil domestic is pretty much out if question already. Would need a Christmas miracle

[elder bear]

ii would not say that $300M is out of question considering that 5x legs is pretty normal for christmas movies

[slow maple]

Very unlikely for Sonic

[elder bear]

so far movie is looking like wicked when opening was below expectations but then legs carried

[slow maple]

Fucking discord

Sonic 2's multiplier was 2.64x

Christmas is not gonna magically double that multiplier

Wicked is a different circumstance

[elder bear]

normally yea but as i said thats christmas

[slow maple]

Sonic 3 is the 3rd installment in video game brand

[elder bear]

even if you movie sucked its still gonna get great legs just because theres nothing else to watch in january

[slow maple]

That is always frontloaded with fans

The absolute best I can see it doing is $260 mil

And that's gonna require some very strong showings

Something around $200 is more likely unfortunately

[elder bear]

last year`s aquaman 2 did almost 5x legs even tho it was a CMB and WOM was not that great

[slow maple]

I'd love to be optimistic, but like

This won't work the same way

The Friday -> Saturday -> Sunday numbers tell a lot, and Sonic's drops are steep given the season.

And Christmas presales are well below Mufasa atm. It will catch up eventually, but the fact that there's even doubt that Sonic can top that day is a big problem

I've read that waiting for 1 week is more consistent when it comes to multiplier

Sonic 2's 1 week multiplier was around 2x

[elder bear]

idk i still think its gonna beat second movie

[slow maple]

So in other words, if Sonic can do over 100 mil by Thursday/Friday, we can expect it to do better than Sonic 2

[elder bear]

btw do we know International expectations for movie?

sonic 2 made $70M i think?

[slow maple]

Yeah

It will not be 1 to 1 comps

[elder bear]

ok but this community note is fucking stupid

disney is literally right

[wanton forum]

Eh movie 2 released on a random holiday weekend against basically nothing - releasing the weekend directly before Christmas against a Disney film the opening weekend was always going to be tougher so it’s not that surprising

And the Christmas holiday multiple will likely make it worthwhile in the end

[next wedge]

Honestly

Dropping it the 25 around here sucks

Is like

The worst day 😭

Not only because we celebrate Christmas the 24 not the 25 so the next day most people are with no money and also taking a rest of the jolly day

I'm still gonna go watch but God damn

Very cool, really bothers me sonic and co are just 3d renders tho

[next wedge]

Tbf

Shadow face is from the render too

What I'm surprised is how much they using that movie 1 render lol

[peak dew]

at home from the cinema

holy shit

I’ll dump more thoughts in spoilers in a sec but

holy shit

[worldly patio]

Still 2 days left for me 😔

[sturdy token]

Did you like it?

[worldly patio]

Honestly kind of worried cause the theater I was reliying on, one that exclussively plays movies on original language, has suspiciously removed Sonic 3 from its website

I hope its cause they are waiting for release day cause otherwise I will have to take a way longer train trip to the next closest theater with english dub...

[delicate galleon]

Actual numbers for opening weekend are starting to trickle in.

Per The Numbers, Sonic 3 grossed $60,102,146 USD over its first three days.

That puts it 4% higher than the first film, and 17% lower than the second film.

Worldwide box office gross is now at ~$61.48 million USD.

[sturdy token]

Close

https://fxtwitter.com/Luiz_Fernando_J/status/1871301204653035542

[peak dew]

Yeah it’s becoming clearer we got sonic 3 a day later here cos like

mufasa has every big screen here

[tacit apex]

Those thursday showings helped

[peak dew]

thankfully saw sonic on the second-biggest at my local but, still

[peak dew]

Mate we didn’t have Thursday screenings lol

there were a small handful of Friday ones but specifically with audio descriptive subtitles

[night anvil]

wait so it was in the UK for a shorter period of time and it still grossed just as much as Mufasa

thats kinda impressive

[sturdy token]

Correct

one day less aprox and made almost equal amount of money

[wanton forum]

Anecdotal but with what I’ve seen from the bookings at local cinemas around me

This movie has been massive in the uk

[peak dew]

Sonic’s a biiiiig deal here traditionally so I think it’s gonna have legs here

[wanton forum]

Obviously small country so in the grand scheme of things I don’t know how much it will effect the WW total

But yeah I think it’s doing about as well as it possibly could

My local has fully booked screenings all week

Which usually only happens for like

Big event films

I did also notice the local Vue added a load more sonic screens the week prior to release that were previously allocated to mufasa

But yeah unfortunately no imax - despite the mufasa imax showings being mostly empty

[peak dew]

our local does it on a week by week basis so I could absolutely see it switching to larger ones soonish lol

[wanton forum]

Yeah so currently mine is in limited opening for the rest of the week after Christmas Day

During which they have 3 sonic showings a day and no mufasa 💀

[sturdy token]

My local theater has half a room full

and the place isn't really full at all unless you're mcu level movie

[wanton forum]

Nvm I think this is just the vue website being dogshit - it’s the same screens and viewings as the weekend

Also the cashier in the local odeon told me they had to take the sonic popcorn buckets off the shelf and store them around the back because they were getting stolen

[sturdy token]

87% as of 102 reviews in RT

Sonic movie 3

[slow maple]

Disney monopoly is insane

[sturdy token]

mhm

[willow forge]

What language did you know growing up?

---

The fact is that Disney is getting its axel whooped by a video game mascot that is 70 years younger than it's own mascot.

Even monopolies got nothing on Sonic.

---

It's gotten so bad that Disney is actively blocking and muting comments that are roasting them for Mufasa.

X is where it is especially prominent.

Man Sonic 2 really really was a hit on the cg

I dint remember sonic looking this bad

Like not just the model

But the animations

[sturdy token]

Knuckles' father has his armor clipping

Generally Covid did give that movie a hit on the animation quality

[indigo vapor]

can’t wait for Lythero to tell us about how shadow the hedgehog used glitches to warp to beat sonic team

[ivory loom]

unfortunate, but still

glad movie 3 was an improvement :)

[dusky garnet]

Preeetty much, its a shame

[sturdy token]

Good thing that they got healthier models of work for knuckles series and movie 3

[dusky garnet]

Yep

[willow forge]

Wade in a knuckles suit is the most cursed thing. I freaking hate it.

[sturdy token]

That was a very cursed yet hilarious flashback

[ivory loom]

Iblis being introduced before shadow even had a line of dialogue😭

[peak dew]

Honestly still find it incredible how they made an entire entry during a pandemic

and to have it come out as decently as it did, man they did good with 2

[dusty lotus]

Iblis being introduced like that really is something lmao

[sturdy token]

Very memorable

Probably not for the right reasons

But still very amusing for me

[sturdy token]

Yeah. Although I do think the movie looks rough on certain areas, they did a good job with the hand they had back then.

Specially those with Eggman are easily noticeable the green screen effect for me lol

[peak dew]

Tbf there is one moment in 3 with a very, very noticeable greenscreened eggman lol

[sturdy token]

lol

[sturdy token]

Anyway how was it? The movie

haven't watched myself for obvious reasons so not visiting the spoiler thread

[peak dew]

Very very good! Easily the best of the three

the pacing for the first 20 mins or so is a bit too breakneck and carrey’s maybe too over the top at points but that aside it’s gooooood stuff

[sturdy token]

I'm glad to hear

Good to see you enjoyed it

it'll be fun to see Shadow with Vegeta's voice

in here for Latam

https://fxtwitter.com/SFArgOficial/status/1871234003157516623

For Latam, he's never beating the 'Sonic's Vegeta' allegations JSJSJS

1:25 onward if you wish to check it

kinda sad Bruno Coronel doesn't do Sonic in the actual movies though

(or Yamil Atala for that matter)

[tacit apex]

Make sure to vote for Sonic 3. https://fixupx.com/HollywoodHandle/status/1871316100819960311

[dusty lotus]

already did

[tacit apex]

Its nominated in two categories

[indigo vapor]

Sonic I’m sorry but the wild robot man

[tacit apex]

The other one is Best Scifi Movie

[indigo vapor]

You can’t deny that shit was utter peak in Dreamworks (Shrek be damned)

[sturdy token]

Dreamworks is the Sonic Team of animated movies

very damn inconsistent but when they hit, they hit

sjsjsjs

[dusky garnet]

Could sonic 3 get an oscar

[indigo vapor]

Could see it tbh

[sturdy token]

I can see a few areas where it is nominated

[indigo vapor]

True😭

[sturdy token]

Like best animated movie had shark tale nominated at some point

and that's one of the lesser good movies of Dreamworks

jsjsjs

[dusky garnet]

Lmao

We were in the trenches

[dusty lotus]

I'll say there is a good chance it will

It's been one of the more praised movies overall recently

[indigo vapor]

I’m just praying that either 3 or the Wild Robot get the best movie adaptation

Also why is Mufasa on there when it got its ass handed to itself by a black hedgehog

[sturdy token]

😭

Mostly because Disney I guess

and disney brand creates a bias

But I can see movie 3 being nominated on some form

Not sure if it will cause oscars are very dumb anyway

[indigo vapor]

yeah true

Alr gn, love u all

I were to watch sonic 3 a third time

[sturdy token]

have fun

[sick coyote]

nothing's set in stone yet, but I wanna

[slow maple]

Alright so Sonic 3 monday is ~10 mil

Not the best but it's declining around the same as Mufasa from Sunday

So game is still on

It's at 70 mil right now, Sonic 2 was 76.5 mil on Monday

Sonic 3 will catch up and get ahead in the next 2 days

Maybe tomorrow it will get ahead

[sick coyote]

christmas and international release might give it a boost I'd imagine

I'm not gonna count my eggs before they hatch

but I am prepared to gloat to disney adults if the time comes

[analog trout]

Imagine kids wanting to see the cool black and red hedgehog their friends talked about, only to be forced to watch Mufasa

[sick coyote]

that's when we introduce them to a fun little game called ✨Patricide✨

for legal reasons, this is a joke

[analog trout]

They were just reenacting the first movie is all, them kids

[sick coyote]

nah nah, that's regicide

[amber mortar]

It keeps rising

[indigo vapor]

come on so close to 100

[chrome cape]

damn

[willow forge]

I've heard of being thin skinned, but this is ridiculous.

Even for Disney

[dusty lotus]

You know what ultima

[willow forge]

What is the sitrep on this "source"

[dusty lotus]

Fuck you for causing this rumor

It's him

[dusky garnet]

Lol ultima

[willow forge]

Who the hell is Ultima?

[dusty lotus]

Let me go find it

[dusky garnet]

Im just gonna cut to the chase, its fake

Its kinda Obviously fake

[dusty lotus]

^

[dusky garnet]

But Ultima has that power ig

[willow forge]

To gaslight and manipulate the masses?

[dusty lotus]

yep

[paper cradle]

I mean I feel like this is making him sound more malicious than he is

[dusky garnet]

Seriously LOL

[paper cradle]

He's just doing parody news like the onion

[worldly patio]

Yeah like if you fall for Ultima more than once its your fault lol

[willow forge]

Even if it were real, one thing is constant: Disney would exude it's contempt for Sonic and run SEGA into the dirt for daring to beat it at the box office

[paper cradle]

Would they??

I don't think that's a smart business strategy lmao

[willow forge]

No one said Iger was capable of making smart business decisions.

[dusty lotus]

I would have hope over Disney dying if they bought SEGA honestly

[willow forge]

Pandering to minority to name one bad idea

[dusty lotus]

Fucking ultima causing this gaslight man

[dusky garnet]

Ok, anyways, it aint that deep lol

[paper cradle]

I think a more realistic thing to happen is disney just fires as many people as needed to not cut off the salaries of the people actually responsible for mufasa being a flop (if it even becomes one), and then not changing their approach at all

[dusty lotus]

nah it isn't henry. I just find with all this acqusition pretty... tiresome ngl

[willow forge]

I'm not gaslit....just thinking this "rumor" is poorly crafted and so out there that loops back to being absurd

[paper cradle]

It's just a parody news tweet

It is not meant to be a realistic sounding rumor

Have you seen his other "news" tweets lol

[willow forge]

It's kinda dawning on me, Nidio. I get your message

Just saying it is dumb, even for a parody.

It's nor even clever enough to be trolling.

Sh'tpost, maybe.

But, anyway, you know my stance.

[vast inlet]

I just saw this. Ultima being the master of misinformation continues to be funny

[willow forge]

Another one of Ultima's?

[paper cradle]

Yeah

[willow forge]

It makes for a good sh'tpost, I'll give it that.

[dusty lotus]

Yeah he just does this all the time in twitter

[amber mortar]

😭

No shot

[willow forge]

Oh, Wonderous....so he is unhinged

[dusty lotus]

It can be silly at first but there are times where it can get.... pretty obnoxious

[vast inlet]

Like, it's obvious enough to tell that what he says is a joke, but sometimes they're either clsoe enough to what would actually happen or people are being real stupid that people sometimes just believe it

[willow forge]

Sometimes, people will believe what they want to believe. Even if it isn't a life or death situation.

[vast inlet]

And for that reason alone I hope he doesn't stop lmao

[willow forge]

Let him serve as an example of what misinformation looks like....fair enough. Especially when it comes off as baby's first trolling blitz.

[paper cradle]

How is it propaganda 😭

It is just "reporting" on extremely unlikely but funny scenarios

No agenda to promote behind that

[willow forge]

Corrected my previous statement. Used the wrong word

Sorry about that. My head was somewhere else

[dusky garnet]

Is just a lil trolling

Nothing actually serious or offensive

[willow forge]

Corrected it again. I'm not on my A Game this morning like I am with my analyses.

Sorry yet again

Very much what Disney is feeling at the moment. It has an early lead because of it's international viewing...but come Christmas to New Year's...the eclipse is truly getting started.

[dusty lotus]

yeah Mufasa is honestly fucked at this point

It's only saving grace is christmas

[willow forge]

If Sonic 3 makes it to a billion or more, it is gonna send a warning shot to Disney.

They say if you go for the king....you damn well better not miss.

The house of mouse is running scared. Let's hope it stays that way

[dusty lotus]

But real talk I am happy to see Paramount finally found another movie they can keep pushing forward

Helps that this series always try something new

[willow forge]

It has developed a resplendent fanbase of it's own.

[dusty lotus]

Like transformer is great but it does suffer a bit of being bit stagnated

[willow forge]

Which means repeat moviegoers. Something Marvel would feel the sting of...Post-Endgame has been a clusterfuck

[willow forge]

At least with TFOne, it not only did something new with Optimus and Megatron, but you felt their tragedy and division as the film matched on. We knew what their fates would become, but the pain and gray matter that lead up to it felt so real. Also, the catharsis factor in Sentinel's fate.... chef's kiss

[dusty lotus]

omfg yes!

TFOne did a fantastic job being different enough

[willow forge]

It is even certifiably fresh on Rotten Tomatoes

Another thing it has in common with Sonic

[dusty lotus]

absolutely

[willow forge]

Hell, I consider TFOne a work of art compared to the previous installments.

But I digress

[ivory loom]

and also the animation was more appealing

[willow forge]

Oh absolutely. Absolutely gorgeous. Absolutely alive. I feel as though this is who the previous movies should have been.

[dusty lotus]

Hard facts

And honestly it's been long overdue for transformers

Transformers is already well recognized by many movie audience

Sonic may possible follow this trend too as long they keep the consistency going

[willow forge]

It also needed something to remove the stink of the Bayverse from 2007.

[dusty lotus]

agreed

[willow forge]

Even though it was my introduction to the brand

At the time, I loved it...but it's age has become apparent with time

I was 8 back then

[tacit apex]

The movies will remain consistent as long they keep the same director and writers

[willow forge]

Exactly.

[dusty lotus]

Helps that it's Sonic

Sonic has VERY strong amount of passionate fandom

Especailly to those who are working with the series

[willow forge]

Plus, the movies aren't afraid to tell a good story and have a little fun while doing it.

[dusty lotus]

mmhmm

Sonic has so much ideas they can easily pull off when it comes to doing something new

and even if they are done with the main rivals they can easily move on to something bigger

Helps even more with the current cast

Especially with shadow himself

It's quite a unique franchise when it comes to ideas

[ivory loom]

The thing i learned is that mario does have quite a lot of stories that are good and can be told on the big screen. The issue is that it wasn't considered for the mario movie :c

I feel quite silly for saying otherwise last year

[dusty lotus]

Mario is at least up there but....... to me it's harder to say where I feel like they overdo it a bit during the first movie

[ivory loom]

in that instance, I think the sonic movies are better cause they have a bit more to them

[dusty lotus]

Yeah having just started with sonic and eggman is the best choice they went for

To easily build up for other upcoming chars

[ivory loom]

helps that its a trilogy and that the third one is based off arguably the best story in the series, but still

[dusty lotus]

But I'll say the movie fully capatalize why the fandom always praise these chars and why they want so many of them being part of the movie

[ivory loom]

i aint so sure if mario 1 or sonic 1 is better

cause both have ups and downs

[dusty lotus]

I'll say both are equal

But in terms of longetivity for future movies, Sonic easily

I feel like they fucked it up over Mario

[ivory loom]

now if they add Wario, THEN it's a real competiti-

[dusty lotus]

Right now for Mario movie it needs something to stand out without feeling stagnated

Outside of sales lmao

[ivory loom]

Heard those rpgs are good

[dusty lotus]

I tried them out and they are great

[ivory loom]

Maybe they should base a story off of one of them

[peak dew]

maybe if the Mario movies actually did something new that would be grand cheers

not getting into spoilers but like, the sonic films do not shy away from doing new stuff with the source material instead of just the same old again and 3’s no different

Mario movies…. yeah, nah lol, I feel like I’ve seen it all before

[dusty lotus]

Yeah that's why I am not too excited over mario movie at all

[ivory loom]

Hell, even the Fnaf movie changed it up way more than the Mario movie

[dusty lotus]

Because outside of mario rpgs, mario barely stands out well when it comes to doing something unique consistently

[ivory loom]

Granted, it was kinda necessary cause the game’s story sucks ass now but still

It’s different

quality kinda varies tho

https://tenor.com/view/bonnie-fna-fnaf-fnaf-memes-fnaf-movie-gif-4242022225904971450

[dusty lotus]

I miss when FNAF story is good

[ivory loom]

“Erm, it was never go-“

Nah, I liked the first 4 games at least :)

[dusty lotus]

First 4 were great at lest story wise

[ivory loom]

Sister location is where you started to push things wayyyyy to far

[dusty lotus]

Springtrap forever remains my goat

[ivory loom]

And security breach makes me wanna do 10 playthroughs of sonic forces in a row

[dusty lotus]

.........yeah

💀

[ivory loom]

I heard that they used to do a lot of weird stuff in the 2000s

Then things got a little boring at the start of the 2010s

[dusty lotus]

Oh they have for sure

[ivory loom]

With exceptions after that like odyseey, wonder, etc.

[dusty lotus]

Especially with Galaxy games

early 2010s was.... pretty bad for mario in terms of creativity

[ivory loom]

It’s basically what sonic went through but slightly better

[dusty lotus]

yeah

[ivory loom]

Either way, I think both series are in good spots

Can’t speak too much for Mario cause I don’t have a lot of experience with Mario

But I have a lot with sonic

[dusty lotus]

I'll say both are at their peak

But I can understand not knowing much over mario lmao

[ivory loom]

I never really got into Mario 100% and I’m not sure why

Sonic just seemed way cooler to me

[dusty lotus]

It's probably the appeal

[ivory loom]

Luigi is epic tho, I like Luigi :)

[dusty lotus]

Luigi

Forever my favorite mario char

Still deserved better

[ivory loom]

Rip ear of Luigi😔

But yea

I also like Wario I guess

He’s funny

[dusty lotus]

Wario is such a goofball I love him lmao

[sturdy token]

Simple.

Última just does satire posts of gaming journalism

Enough believable to be realistic

But enough dumb so You can get a giggle out of them

Infinity war ye ik

[boreal hornet]

Infinity War is the peak of Marvel post phase one

And has stayed as such

[amber mortar]

Weakest of the nolan trilogy imo, tho i could say the same thing about the dark knight rises tomorrow

[boreal hornet]

Honestly I really enjoyed Batman Begins over Dark Knight Rises

Mainly just due to how more appropriately feeling Gotham was

[amber mortar]

Fair fair

[sturdy token]

Yeah Gotham felt the most Gotham in begins

after that, it was just detroit

lmao

[boreal hornet]

Batman Begins and TDK really help made it feel like a grimy shithole overruled by crime and seediness

Then TDKR- yea just detroit lmao

[amber mortar]

At least THE BATMAN got it right

[boreal hornet]

The Batman is easily GOATed yea

[sturdy token]

got it right is staying short

I hope they tackle the owl society in the 2nd one, even tho that's predictable

Animation and pacing is... it is what it is

[boreal hornet]

Yea the animation is kinda weird at times

Like dawg where did that tweening shit come from get outta here

I will do a note and say this is impressive because my movie theater is not exactly a public place

[sturdy token]

This is one of Mufasa, 1 hour 30 minutes or so after my function of Sonic

Guys

Wade Whipple’s Disney double is here lol

Nani?

[willow forge]

Not Logical

[fallen harness]

Wade Dripple is right there. Idk what you mean

[amber mortar]

What's up

[willow forge]

What I was trying to get at was that, if Mufasa could bomb so freaking hard in Mexico , despite being called the #1 movie in the world.....

[sturdy token]

Yeah, Cinepolis and Cinemex (the main chains of movie theaters here) promoted the hell out of Sonic

[willow forge]

Ah, so they are promoters of culture, then /js

[sturdy token]

the former actually altered their logo to be themed around movie 3

[willow forge]

Huh. That's an interesting little take, right there.

But I get where they are coming from.

What's the numbers between them in your area? Or has it not arrived in your region yet?

[sturdy token]

Not yet

it'll be available tomorrow

[willow forge]

Understood

[sturdy token]

Finally I'll watch it tomorrow and I am sure it'll be great

[willow forge]

I trust you haven't spoiled yourself of the film?

[sturdy token]

Not much

not beyond of what the trailers and tv spots haven't shown at least

Mufasa: The Lion King Updates (@MufasaUpdate) on X

Who is making these stupid community notes... I.. America is not the whole world

[vast inlet]

They're not wrong, but I'm expecting some funny cope tomorrow

[winged perch]

for once this account is not wrong

I mean like yea Sonic 3 is beating Mufasa rn in the US but not worldwide

cuz Sonic 3 won't come out for some regions until the 26/27th, with the rest not releasing until JANUARY

so yea

Sonic 3 may be winning, but only in the US

(side note, some Americans need to learn what Disney means by "No. 1 Movie Worldwide", especially the "Worldwide" part)

and on an unrelated note, I got spoiled on Mufasa, which means jack shit cuz it is exactly what I expected it to be (a wasted movie that aims to explain why does Scar hate Mufasa and why is Mufasa the "Lion King".)

like seeing people going "poor Scar" is funny cuz to me I am like, ok, cool I guess, but why make it an entire movie?

let alone explain why that shit happened the way it did

I knew more back story from a DISNEY JUNIOR SPIN-OFF SHOW than this movie

and the former is just Disney sl0p

same with the latter

but now powered by Unreal Engine!!!!!!!!!!

cuz realism sells!!!!!!!!!

fuck off with that shit

anyways Mufasa rant over

(i have never watched Mufasa the whole time btw)

[tacit apex]

They missed out on remaking Simba's Pride

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 shows why it's important to respect the art of voice acting, especially when some other video game adaptations don't care to try. https://t.co/EQkNY93WvA

I read it

it's very interesting

the writer of the article talks about how the voices of the mario movie don't do enough to sell you on the characters

while the sonic movies (all three of them) do the effort to stand out and make sure that you feel the characters as they are

[dusky garnet]

Thaaaaank you

[winged perch]

...
henry

this is not spoiler chat

i have been trying to avoid spoilers and you're not helping

[weak wolf]

simplyhenry has been warned.

[dusky garnet]

OH NO

FUCK

IM SORRY

HOLY FUCK

aghhhhhhhhhhh this sucks

[boreal hornet]

Now you know how I feel 😭

[dusky garnet]

I'm sorry everyone, extremely careless of me

Ughhhhhhhh

[dusky garnet]

Yea ik

[versed karma]

Sonic dies at the end

[ashen flower]

i thought it was wade ||joking nothing can kill wade||

[sturdy token]

Seems something happened

here, I was playing Fortnite in the meantime

[dusky garnet]

Im glad you werent here

[ashen flower]

gave the article a proper read, s'gooooood

totally agree and the VAs do a great job fitting into their roles rather than the roles playing the actor

[sturdy token]

Mhm

I like how they explain it

with the mario characters of the movie just feel like the actors using their standard voices

and sonic characters doing the effort from the actors to do an unique voice for those characters

[spice ember]

well

[fallen harness]

Bro 😭😂

[spice ember]

we all make mistakes

but I would personally kill you for this one if i were on the receiving end no offense

[fallen harness]

If anyone I thought I’d be the one to accidentally spoil it

[dusky garnet]

Well congratulations

[dusky garnet]

Yea fuckin figures

[spice ember]

hey don’t get sassy with me

[dusky garnet]

THANK YOU!!

Halo I am looking at you

[dusky garnet]

A THING THAT SHOULD NOT BE SAID

My first warning in 8 years thats insane

And its by the most stupid careless mistake and not me threatening someone

“What I had to.”

Did you threaten someone?

[indigo vapor]

Goddamn

Honestly insane for that

[sturdy token]

I was watching Iron Man 3

because it's a Christmas movie

and then I remembered...!

[analog trout]

I hear the movie gets repetitive with Scar holding onto Mufasa's paw when he dangles over a cliff or edge

because get it?

get it?

https://tenor.com/view/lion-king-mufasa-death-fall-gif-5863317

[sturdy token]

just checked mufasa screens of 11 am at my local theater

literally NO one in that one

[indigo vapor]

the lion is nothing compared to the hedgeheg

But then again Mufasa is the #1 movie in the world

so maybe the hedgeheg is nothing compared to the lion

[ivory loom]

https://tenor.com/view/ratatouille-gif-20670785

My reaction to lion king spoilers

[analog trout]

spoilers

Scar started hating Mufasa and wants him dead for cucking him

https://tenor.com/view/cloud-strife-cloud-final-fantasy-final-fantasy-7-cloudstrife-gif-3644703758671393541

[analog trout]

Scar had a thing for Sarabi, but she fell in love with Mufasa instead

[vast inlet]

Wait, you serious?

[ivory loom]

wasnt he like

supposed to be king before mufasa showed up and stole that from him or something?

could have just had that :p

[analog trout]

I dunno the detail from the original version, but it all revolved around the throne at the very least

Scar being a petty asshole and that was all you needed

The remake version making it that he was jealous a girl liked someone else is just balls

[dusky garnet]

Are you fucking serious

Why the fuck did they add this plot in what

What

[tacit apex]

The only thing is Disney's version of Lions don't account for the fact that Males usually fall for more then one girl.

You watch these movies as someone who seen a lot of these wildlife documentaries, You know Disney left out a few things.

[dusky garnet]

[dusty lotus]

......This is so not needed

[dusky garnet]

Barry Jenkins what the fuck

[tacit apex]

He was brought in by Disney, and not realizing how hard it was to make these movies, That he decided to never do that again

[willow forge]

Happy holidays for one and all.

To those about to see Sonic 3. May your time be good and hopefully you will find a seat or two. The international gateways are starting to open. And a furry blue rodent is about to speed on through.

[tacit apex]

Im curious what the numbers are gonna be like on Christmas day.

a lot of places will be close except the theaters, so families can go see the movie together

[willow forge]

Given it's a holiday....there may not be much in the way of activity. Unless it is a family venture like you said.

[tacit apex]

And for the employees working at the theater on Christmas, I think they get paid time and a half this time
