Origami King isn't anything better either

sturdy token
#

Origami king is in this weird middle ground

#

between the last games and the old ones

#

so to the fans it is far more frustrating

dusky garnet
#

There is a lot of weirs love for color splash nowdays

because it's clear they have the intention but they either don't want or can't

#

Hopefully the thousand year door remake helped Nintendo to get why people love that series

ember talon
#

I hope so too

#

Because good god Paper Mario needs an actual redemption

#

Origami King did try but even then.... it's not enough

#

brothership tho while I have issues with the game it did a good job trying to bring the series back

sturdy token
#

Yeah. I'd say brothership got a better hang of mario & luigi as a franchise

#

it's not perfect but it's more adequate if it makes any sense

ember talon
#

essentially yeah

#

which is something I hope Paper Mario got in a way

#

At least something like brothership over what made the series well appeal while being fresh ane new

dusky garnet
#

Now that Thousand Year Door is the norm again

sturdy token
#

Yeah Nintendo cannot go back to the sticker star-origami king type of games after the port of thousand year door

ember talon
#

Yeah teh reeception shows a huge difference

#

It's not even just nostalgia, people really love TTYD and they don't over the newer games for a reason

dusky garnet
#

TTYD is just a really charming game

sturdy token
#

even Super Paper Mario would've been better received

#

Like at first I thought it's just paper mario fans just being all bias

#

than either of the three recent

#

But after playing the switch version I can legit understand why

#

Honestly what i want next is for prtners to have more banter between eachother

#

Than just switch around most of the time

ember talon
#

YES!

#

I would love that a lot

dusky garnet
#

And focusing on just mario and one partner

#

I want everyone to be involved at once

#

That's one of the main thing I love about rpgs. Hoping they'll do that too

Godzilla v Kong 3 is probably beating both films out if one of em doesn’t move btw.

YESSIR

But yeah, People like Link, and I’m sure Nintendo fans/legend of Zelda fans have good pull when it comes to the movies if we’re going by factors of the Mario movie’s success.

#

But Link ain’t no damn Mario is what I’m saying, despite his popularity.

#

People still call him/think he’s Zelda, so it’s a matter of how much appeal they can get from the general public with whatever casting decisions they do.

#

But it does have the advantage of being a “new” IP, and a jumping on point rather than being a sequel like Sonic or GVK. Who are both building out sagas atm ig. Which is a bit harder to ask people to tune in for, if they aren’t caught up with the other stuff.

spice ember
#

woah what the hell

#

dude when did you come back 😭

ivory loom
#

I mean the Mv is popular, but it isn’t Sonic or Zelda levels of popular

median sequoia
#

It’s not so much of a monster verse thing as much as it’s a Godzilla thing in this case

#

If he’s attached, it’s just gonna sell fairly good

#

And usually bigger, if we’re going by how those films have outgrossed Sonic. But anything is possible

do we expect anything

only possible spin off imo

or announcements

#

I'm in the same boat

Mhm

median sequoia
#

If it's anything sonic 4 related, it'll just be a passing mention of it being on the slate and that's it.

sturdy token
#

I don't expect anything substantial

median sequoia
#

But anything outside of that? I think there's a small chance of some kind of announcement of a spinoff project.

#

If it's theatrical

elder bear
#

i feel like they may announce shadow spin off and thats all

vast inlet
#

It'd be neat if they announced a spin-off, but that's kind of it

#

please don't announce anything for Paramount Plus, if Shadow spinoff is exclusive to that I will kill them

#

even in regards to a spinoff, I feel like they may wait until June

median sequoia
#

They didn't wait too long to announce that knuckles spinoff, but that might have been a special case I. That regard lol

#

Considering we didn't get a shadow spinoff announcement before sonic 3's release.

Domestic run finally ended on March 27th

111 theaters held screenings for it that day, totaling $7,207, averaging $64 per theater.

Final domestic tally:
$236,115,100

#

Total box office gross is $491.12 million

Not Mario levels of revenue, but hey, it still is successful

#

What does make it? Over 1.2 Billion in earned revenue across the trilogy?

#

$1.363 billion

tacit apex
#

491.12 ain't too bad, Its a little less then half a billion.

slow maple
#

Hopefully it gets a release to push it to 500 down the road

#

Just for that nice even number

#

Overall pretty solid and consistent growth

#

Ofc we always expect more, but this is a fine middle ground

#

Next movie will need to count on Amy bring in untapped audience

#

It will be a tough battle cause I think by now movie 3 has exhausted the young boys audience interested in Sonic

#

And there will be diminishing returns there that need to be offset by young girls

willow forge
willow forge
#

Sliver, Blaze and whoever else they decide to bring on can be determined by the success of Sonic 4 onwards.

#

But that's all dancing around the main question:

How do you do it in a way that speaks to young girls without coming of as pandering, pretentious, or inauthentic?

#

Better yet, without alienating audiences already interested in the series?

kind cedar
#

Amy, Blaze, Cream, Rouge etc are characters first, females second.

#

It's important that audiences feel represented sure, but it's also way too easy to overthink how to approach this

Because people who don't have any taste (most people) think that it looks better this way

Doesn't mean I don't wanna see it one day ofc.

Just that sonic ain't no mario atm in terms of appeal & other aspects.
Even with the gradual uphill growth going on.

#

just the first spiderverse alone was the CBM with less revenue of 2018

#

and it should had gotten big numbers given it still uses Spider-man as an IP

#

I'm watching the video, for some reason the vfx artists can't figure out what's real and what's cgi, the cgi in the movie is so good and blends with the live action

#

in particular in the Shadow scene in Tokyo

#

one of them thinks Gerald is Eggman's father but they are using can you feel the sunshine for the montage (?)

#

I'm confused

tacit apex
#

When they show the Robotnik dancing scene, They replaced the music with Super Sonic Racing

boreal hornet
#

Ok?

tacit apex
#

Super Sonic Racing seems to fit that scene better then the song they used

boreal hornet
#

No it fucking doesn't, the scene was made with Galvanize in mind

tacit apex
#

I love hearing the details on how some of the shots are made, especially the scenes where both Robotniks are in the same scene.

tacit apex
median sequoia
#

God I hope they secure Kimiko Glenn for Amy

#

Tyson has said that their eyes are always scanning fandom talk/spaces about the films or otherwise, so there's no doubt that hasn't crossed their radar in pre-production.

sturdy token
dusky garnet
#

Tyson is a blessing

kind cedar
#

Hopefully with some decent people on the team this also means they won't screw up the character...?

#

Maybe for once having a well written female character in a big hollywood movie. Hell of a pipedream I know

median sequoia
#

With Tyson around, I don't think so. Or at least they'll be given very broad pointers by him & SEGA, who work with the writers.

#

That and Pat Casey at least gets the fact that she's a pretty bouncy/colorful character even before sonic 3.

#

I gotta find that one interview again one day.

sturdy token
#

Yeah

#

She is a very energetic person

#

and the sonic movies have respected the nuances of the Sonic-shaped characters while also adding flare that makes them unique

kind cedar
#

that has worked out more often than not

#

they kinda fumbled Tails a little at first but there was some good course correction in movie 3

sturdy token
#

A little, but it was more that he didn't have much screen time in 2

#

rather than him being a character that didn't work per se

#

if it makes sense

kind cedar
#

I just hated the sonic hyper-fanboy shtick

#

and the "ONLY SONIC THE HEDGEHOG COULD-" like shut, the fuck up

sturdy token
#

oh yeah makes sense

median sequoia
#

I wonder how they're gonna start off movie 4.

#

Movie 3's end credit scene was the first one to directly follow up after the events of the film/sonic encountering the new character in said scene.

kind cedar
#

I think they'll do that again honestly

#

in a kind of back to the future esc way

median sequoia
#

So are they gonna retcon it, or pull an NWH, and just pick up right there.

#

(I still suggest beginning the movie with a ghost in the shell inspired sequence of metal sonic being created, but I'll let them cook.)

kind cedar
#

Speaking of, I remember seeing an idea around here where, Neo Metal would disguise himself as Eggman, and that's how Jim Carrey comes back (if he does)

sturdy token
kind cedar
#

It did?

sturdy token
kind cedar
#

are we sure it might not just be a cgi thing

#

cause the actual real life suit and the CG one look kinda different in some ways

sturdy token
#

Both from their set

kind cedar
#

Huh

#

can't believe it took me 4 years to notice this

#

oh my god wait NWH was 4 years ago

sturdy token
kind cedar
#

Mind you it looks better in some places than in ffh

sturdy token
#

Yeah, they streamlined a bit the belt area, making it more of a one-piece rather than two like in ffh

kind cedar
#

I just wish they didn't feel the need to cgi all over these suits

#

cause they can look amazing

sturdy token
#

Yeah, it's a shame

kind cedar
#

the one thing I pray for in Spidey 4 other than it not being a multiversal movie

#

I do have faith in the director

sturdy token
#

We shall see what happens

#

Destin is a great director

#

Shang-Chi is so well directed

kind cedar
#

The rumor mills go that it's gonna be a mr negative movie

#

and I would be so fucking down for that

sturdy token
#

it makes sense, they introduced that company of service ever since Far From Home which is lead by Mr. Negative in the comics and ps4 Spider-man

kind cedar
#

he could be a pretty good trilogy throughline aswell come to think

#

A black suit Spidey facing him could make for some really cool parallels

wicked hearth
#

But I liked the work on Tails in 2

#

More than in 3, I think the movie was focusing on the 2 hedgehogs and 2 Robotniks

#

So for me Tails in Sonic 2 > Tails in Sonic 3

#

Same for Knuckles

#

It's just Sonic 3 is more balanced between Tails and Knuckles as team mates

kind cedar
#

What helps too is just seeing Tails specifically having more actual agency and not being knocked out for a good chunk of the plot

#

and then needing to be rescued by Maddie & Rachel

You have the Tom and Sonic dynamic, So imagine a Maddie and Amy dynamic

ember talon
#

Honestly that could work out very well

boreal hornet
#

We just need more Maddie in general

ember talon
#

agreed

#

I just feel like having maddie interact with Amy will help her a lot. Sure with girl talk but it'll bring a very good interaction between the two

boreal hornet
#

It was cool af for like the first episode of Knuckles that she got to have a more predominant presence but then she stopped appearing altogether

tacit apex
#

Like for example, Maddie and Amy bonding, and at some point, Maddie finds a dress she used to wear as a kid, And she gives it to Amy, Which is how she gets that classic uniform.

peak dew
#

Tika is pretty great with what little she’s given as Maddie so seeing her have a more active role would be nice

#

she had to really push for more to do in 2 and it ended up the highpoint for her, only to get cut back in 3 (albeit along with nearly every other non-robotnik human character there lol)

median sequoia
#

Jeff & the writers have even acknowledged that as more characters from the games get brought in, it's becoming a gradual battle for screentime each film for established characters.

#

Which I think almost every project runs into that obstacle and have to work around it.

#

Which makes me wonder if Knuckles & Taild will ge involved in the main plot come 4, or if they'll do their own side thing while Sonic is paired up with Amy on whatever future/ possible off world shenanigans.

#

Which just made me realize, those two don't know where tf sonic went cause he was an overachiever in the race

Sonic Weekly
TYSON HESSE + PAT CASEY & JOSH MILLER talk Sonic Movie Trilogy

Co-producer Tyson Hesse and screenwriters Pat Casey & Josh Miller talk with us about crafting the Sonic the Hedgehog movie trilogy. Although we do talk about Sonic 3 (in theaters now), you'll be pleased to know we avoided spoilers, so listen in confidence.

For more Josh Miller: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/best-movies-never-made/id1450...

▶ Play video
#

Idk if I ever shared this, but this has some really meaty information on how the internal workings of the movies & game stuff goes on.

#

More specifically, Tyson talking about his own involvement in the recent lore team

#

Which

  1. Was created off the heels of movie 1.

  2. There was a "lore team" before then, but it was more so just individuals within SEGA on sonic projects just giving their tidbits.

#
  1. The lore team (going at least by this time frame of when the podcast episode was made.) Doesn't have extreme power to make changes.
    And or make changes in their favor solely, these are sonic team or sega approved things
    (In reference to them no longer using the logic of two planets, and settling on one singular planet.)
#

I'll keep putting in information for anyone that can't watch it rn.

median sequoia
sturdy token
#

Very interesting

median sequoia
#

The chaos emeralds and their place in the movieverse is still relatively in flux, even post movie 3 in terms of how they function & should be used narratively.

#

When they were introduced in movie 2, they refrained from having them be seperate entities because it would prompt a quest to find 8 different mcguffins.

And coming off the heels of avengers endgame, they didn't want to ride off of that narrative wave.

sturdy token
#

Yeah it makes sense. People would find them a rip-off

#

And it's a conversation that does happen within fandoms

#

(Mr. Knight in Moon Knight had some talks about being a Deadpool-wanna be due to how the suit looks)

median sequoia
#

Earlier iterations of Gerald's inclusion had a version of him being aome kind of chaos energy ghost.

#

Or a time ghost of some variety, the main idea being that he wouldve gotten stuck in the middle of Shadow's chaos control in the past and had him in this state of limbo.

median sequoia
#

Another facet of Tyson Hesse's involvement with the films is to give pointers of "This is how the games are, this is how fans will receive your changes." And they can tweak or not tweak whatever is relevant to that (Gerlad robotnik for example.)

The writing side/development angle of these movies is not the creatives just doing whatever they want & not caring what the fans will think.
What is seen on the silver screen is the act of multiple peoples ideas & changes in a collaborative effort, that doesn't just boil down to "it was the writers" or "it was the director".

sturdy token
#

It's a back and forth between multiple parts

high anvil
#

I remember i heard in sonic movie 1, one pitch that sonic was a space criminal, he stole a chaos emerald and head to earth snd tricks all of the humans there that he's the good until he goes through an arc to no longer be a criminal and actually be a hero once robotnik first came into his life.

median sequoia
#

Yep, that's true

#

You heard about the mutation pitch?

median marsh
#

Mutation pitch?

#

Didn’t hear about that one

#

Heard about the early Sony Scooby-esque pitch tho awhile back

high anvil
median sequoia
#

The chaos emeralds would fall onto an off the grid island, mutating the animals into mobians over the course of history before a society & therefor a majority of the cast (Sonic & co.) would be established on one setting.

Sonic served as the protector of the island, before eggman was sent by the government to capture his friends or the chaos emeralds that were keeping the forest alive.

Sonic would then proceed to chase eggman down back to America to get and even, and that's as far as we know.

median marsh
#

Oh ya now I remember

#

Weren’t the rings like ancient Mayan rings also?

median sequoia
#

I think it was along those lines, yeah

high anvil
median sequoia
#

They kind of inferred that it'd be the characters we know/his friends more than the little critters.

high anvil
#

So it's just sonic's friends being useless again.

high anvil
fleet shadow
median sequoia
#

I don’t think there was any way to go about it, other than having them be in one place.

#

Unless it was a 3 hour film maybe, but that’s pushing it in terms of narrative construction for a film lol

#

Being in the master emerald? I could take or leave it, but it was the middle ground that was met with SEGA from what they said at least ig.

fleet shadow
#

I dont like the idea of "some other thing did some stuff, so a fundamental piece of our universe had to be changed" thats bleh to me
Especially now considering marvel has fallen out of favor with so many. Ultimately the films turned outfine but i genuinely hate that idea.

sturdy token
#

The thing is that it would not had worked very well because Infinity war had 18 movies behind which made it have the location of 5 of the infinity stones in easy locations

median sequoia
#

Yeah I get it, but they aren’t the first to feel that way/write around that concept.

sturdy token
#

and only have to really explain 1

#

with the chaos emeralds, they'd have to contextualize all 7 of them

median sequoia
#

No writer wants their work to be referenced as “oh it’s just like ‘such & such’. Which wouldn’t be a problem with Sonic fans, as much as it would be a problem with general audiences who only know that as a reference.

#

There aren’t many films with multi colored gem stones that hold extraordinary powers, that require you to go globe trotting to collect them so I get it from a writers/film making perspective.

sturdy token
#

X made it this way but it's because it's a series, it can take more time to elaborate on the position of each emerald in a particular episode

What’s the likelihood that the Sonic movies as we know them in this continuity could continue under a different studio?

I know that’s sorta kinda the case with angry birds 3, it is but it isn’t a sony picture, while being distributed by paramount.

Sorta, but not really. Sony isn't doing the animation for the third film - its spread out across different studios

er yeah true lmao

At the time it was very huge for the series

median sequoia
#

As more time passes by I think there's definitely a couple of ways that sonic 4 could one up sonic 3.

#

I know there's a handful of people that swe SA2 as the pinnacle of sonic stories & sonic 3 felt like the pinnacle of the movies, in terms of improvements in a lot of areas the last 2 films lacked.

median sequoia
#

Second, maturing the storyline with the audience even further (which Jeff has expressed he wants to do with the films already.)

Sonic 3 carried good momentum of stakes & seriousness, and I don't think that has to die just because shadow won't be the second main character & revert back to mostly 'family movie' moments.

#

I'd say, since they're adapting sonic CD, we're gonna have some type of bad future with eggman supposedly ruling; maybe they could really highlight a dictatorship & pollution of a planet?

How does everyone feel about sonic 3?

Sonic 3 was fine but i’m not really thinking to rewatch it

That’s for this whole trilogy too

They have high moments and scenes but for the most part, i am disinterested

I do enjoy it but I don't normally bother rewatching movies at all due to their length

I also think aside from shadow nothing really captivated me

sick coyote

No

#

It’s revenge guac

sick coyote
#

Sonic 3 is the first sonic movie where it actually feels like it's not ashamed about the fact it's a video game adaptation

#

I still wish they went further in a lot of areas, especially with the music, but actually having music featured more prominently with live and learn being present throughout the ehole movie was a HUGE improvement from sonic 2 just having tue drowning theme hidden in the background

#

Or how it just ripped off music from ant-man for the big sonic and knuckles fight

#

still salty about that, the big fight, and you couldn't even be arsed to compose something new for it

ember talon
#

Yeah I can't argue with that

#

But it always happens with Knuckles. Why they keep doing this to mah boi? 😔

sick coyote
#

Also needle drops here were a MUCH better selection imo
The picks in 3 were a MUCH better fit for sonic compared to what they had in the first 2 films

dusky garnet
#

to me the weakest part of Sonic 3 was Gerald
He wasn’t a particularly interesting character at all and it really feels like it is just a bone to Jim Carrey rather than a cool choice

ember talon
#

Hard agreed

#

Gerald is a very nothing burger

dusky garnet
#

And the problem is that he is Very prominent

indigo vapor
#

I still wish that when Gerald revealed his suicide mission, he completely dropped the funny grandparent act and just became a insane piece of shit

dusky garnet
#

It feels he had more lines than Knuckles and Tails combined, even if might not be the case

ember talon
#

I feel like for Gerald it shows that he really isn't meant to be main focus where he isn't normally the main focus due to Shadow and Maria, and Sonic 3 movie.... really shows

#

Gerald himself is always fine as a char don't get me wrong but never meant to be the main focus

sick coyote
#

He really should've dropped the goofiness after the "you're no maria" moment

Jim Carrey I do love and respect but he is always meant to be as Eggman

Never Gerald at all

indigo vapor
#

Agreed

Main thing with Eggman is that he can be a serious threat while being goofy whereas for Gerald? He is filled with pure revenge and anger

median sequoia
#

It's genius in the way it's a good selling point to get your parents to watch it or something, but the aftermath as a fan it's kinda like..really the best tho?

#

Ig he fit for the narrative of movie robotnik's grandfather more than game eggman's and the story they told

Which you can't always avoid ofc

sturdy token
#

people who aren't really sonic fans that I know just talk to me about having a blast with Gerald

#

but my position as a fan who knows the stuff of sa2-shadow 05-battle makes that a really weird pill to digest

#

(I won't count shadow gens because they were developed around at the same time so it would be unfair to use it against them aside from some brand synergy here and there)

sturdy token
#

Game Eggman is not that over the top either personality wise

#

sure he has the badniks and wants to conquer the world, but he's far more grounded

#

you don't see him do many Jim Carrey shenanigance

#

and the comedy that comes usually is at the expense of Eggman

#

rather than coming from him directly

dusky garnet
#

Ngl i dont see the problem with game eggman being over the top

#

And ngl

#

He is

#

Not jim carrey level but he is

sturdy token
#

yeah, that's what I say

#

just that game Eggman is not full of jim carrey stuff

#

like you won't have eggman randomly dancing while being chased by a holographic dinosaur

#

or acting like a robot from time to time

ember talon
#

I feel like it's more so the difference is that Jim Carrey tends to push the goofy side really hard depending on what char he is portraying

#

It already works for Eggman since he is a mix between goofy and serious

#

Gerald is not and why he feels very underwhelming in the movie

sturdy token
#

The thing with Gerald is less that he isn't

#

and more so that we didn't get so see much of how he is outside of the ark raid

ember talon
#

Yeah there is that

sturdy token
#

like post sa2 content before Shadow gens only do two things:

#
  1. facilitate lore via exposition
#
  1. portray him as some sort of messiah or victory card
#

(battle and rivals 2, and shadow 05 respectively)

#

Shadow Gens is really the first time where we see more of how Gerald actually is

#

which wasn't that far off of Eggman himself

#

just not as insane I suppose

#

but he did have his fair share of excentricities and goofyness to him

#

such as the ARK having his face and a few other bits

#

there wasn't enough of Game Gerald to truly give us an idea that he could be goofy enough for the Movie universe to go that route

#

Unlike Pachacamac which I cannot really apply this thought process

ember talon
#

Pacahamac is so weird????

#

Like it was way too random looking back 💀

#

But fuck man.... I really hope it means they are building up for Chaos and Tikal after with Amy because there is no reason he just suddenly show up like that before Shadow getting an actual appearance or any other sonic chars

#

Pachacamac was a weird addition, although I liked his chillness

#

it was a bit weird given games Pachacamac is more severe

#

guess he could not be that anymore given he is dead

That I can at least get

#

If you become a spirit you at least have more erm......

But fuck man I really hope Sonic 5 Movie leads up to it now we finally got Amy and Metal Sonic

Honestly I'll say the adapations overall well put out

Having both Sonic 2 and 3 (games) being a mix works very well for each others

#

While SA2 taking some very few traits from Shth over to Sonic 3 movie

#

Makes me hope Sonic 4 movie does that with CD and Heroes (Mainly with neo metal sonic)

indigo vapor

All imma say is if we don’t get what I’m made of in 4 I won’t be angry, but my disappointment will be immeasurable

ember talon
#

I do get people wanting Heroes to be later with the teams and all but I have to be real

#

That one is very easy to get adapted due to neo metal sonic considering 3 major things

#

He scanned mainly with Sonic first
Then with chaos energy related in some form (Like Chocolo and Froggy or the Master Emerald)
and then Shadow

sturdy token

I honestly don't think you really need to adapt heroes strictly

and, instead, should be combined with CD like you say sgm

At the very least, I have faith that this adaptation is better than Archie's

#

It's another reason why I wanted Chaos to show up since it's literally freaking Chaos. Chaos has the best buildup after getting the core cast

#

Due to not only chaos energy but can harness the negative power of the chaos emeralds while it further developed Sonic's char over what it means to be a hero

I do think at points as Gerald he's maybe hamming it up sliiiiightly too much but like, not to a point where I'm taken outta what's happening, its not like the first film where he's the only thing holding it all together and it rides or dies on his antics

I have my own personal hypothesis that the end credit scene of 3, is the most representative of how they're going to approach sonic in 4.

Which is of course obvious, but I mean it more so that the presentation of that sequence changed all the way up to the last moment from what Pat & Josh & even Ben Schwartz has said about it.

Taking to account that the creative team isn't unaware of fan critiques & pointers, I don't think it's out of the question that it's the most current piece of writing in the film that fits as a direct response to the feeling of movie sonic having a lack of edge/confidence.

Hell that can be traced all the way back to how people viewed Tails as a character and his story, where the “younger brother” angle is more important than how his story revolves around his individualism (and makes it funnier when Sonic Team internally requires things like Sonic not deliberately saving Tails in Origins)

Now the Disney movie that is most emblematic of that found family and familial values direction is attempting to take a more “individualistic” approach, and to its own detriment 💀

Eeeh, I’d have to see the lilo and stitch movie to make that judgement

#

From what I’ve heard from defenders of the direction, it sells its new ideas as positive enough that they appreciate the changes and inclusion

So long as the movie frames it as positive and uplifting the complaints will be more on a metacontextual “why would you do this” level

Hot take but I don't like Sonic being a son and living in a town with his parents

They should just do a better Lilo and Stitch movie with a better ending

He and the rest are going to have to eventually get up out of that house.

#

Been thinking about what the estimated budget for sonic 4 could be, considering sonic 3's success.

And how much that metric could qualify for some of those game locations could make a debut like the writers have wanted to do for a while now.

#

Sonic 1 had a budget of 85-90 million dollars, and with the little they showed of green Hill it was pretty good visually.

#

But very baren, which makes sense considering how much it costs to even make the CG character & assets.

#

Sonic 2's budget was 90-110 in budget.

Which I think heavily went into the action & CG versions of areas that were in them.
And there we had labyrinth zone, which was also pretty accurate/translated well as the sole game location.

so basically ||Commander Walter is alive? Rockwell was mad at Sonic because she wanted the location of the Master Emerald to grab it for GUN. There is another flashback with Maria drawing herself and Shadow doodles while scientists are preoccupied with her being in the lab, the vault scene is different, and there is... no ending, the third act is not in the comic because it tells you to watch the movie instead...||

#

so in short, don't read the novelization... Just watch the movie again, it's peak

Literally

#

Michael Bay was legit so pissed that a novel for one of the Transformers movies basically spoiled the ending, so he just banned them from even adapting the 3rd act

#

Which soon extended to like every film

#

That had a novel adaptation

#

And also released prior to the main film

#

Also Michael Bay being pissed off from a Transformers movie did not stop at novels

#

The fact that Shadow never said chaos control is CRIMINAL

#

SO many kids would have had those words embedded in their mind if the movie did, but

#

Nothing

#

He just blips about with no regard for the osmosis 😔

#

But it also highlights just how cool the game is whenever it has a cutscene where he says it before activating it

talk about low budget film adaptations

#

no references or game quotes?

It’s been rumored for a while we’d get a Super Shadow BaB. We got one for Super Sonic after Movie 2 so it would make sense if we got one for Shadow after Sonic 3
