#[SPOILERS] Sonic Movie 3
1 messages · Page 6 of 1
Look I get what you are saying but you will not convince me because I literally watched the movie last week and genuinely
For the first time
I was like damn
This is kind of a slog
It was a little too goofy for me sometimes
I think the scene where his teeth fall off was funny and some other ones
The dance definitely made me go like
Question how he can do that at that age
More than anything lol
when I realized in the lead up to the release that they were doing this I was a little confused and from what I heard the actual Rachel and Randall don’t show up at all do they
Oh yeah and at the end when he has those mini jetpacks to chase Eggman that was hilarious
The actors play the roles but they are Tom and Maddie impersonating them
That's cheating 
Pivonka yourself
Also a little more about my experience
I went to watch it with my girlfriend in a fairly more subdued set (there weren't many kids)
So I kind of got a decent gauge on what a normal adult felt about it
And to his credit
She was extremely grossed out by Gerald lmao
So fair play, worked as a cartoon villain
There were kids at my theater everyone stayed silent outside laughs
She also felt Sonic was too goofy for the movie
Like always having to get his quips in
I was holding the urge to clap my hands loudly at Maria death but I just grinned
I made it a point to say he isn't like that in the games
Eh idk if they did that at fan events
Didn't feel right to do that
I did have a thought that like
Man this movie would work really well as a show lol
With more time to do things
For example the alliance with Eggman was so short lived
The giant enemy crab hideout mech didn't get to fight anything
I expected Sonic to be more quippy, I don't think I was as annoyed about him as I expected
Cooking up the differences between the movie and the novelization right now
Heyo saw the movie
Liked it, though 2 may be my overall favorite
Ironically what brought this one down for me was that the Jim Carrey scenes went on for too long imo, it felt kind of whiplash-ey with how much more serious the Shadow plot was
The pacing felt kind of all over the place, but any scene with Shadow was fantastic
Also. Honestly, did not like Gerald, he felt pretty barebones and carried a lot less gravitas compared to his game counterpart, especially considering we never even meet the latter
His final speech before his death and the shot of him chained up and defeated is so iconic, but here he's just a goofy silly jerk? Like we barely even see him with Maria, we have nothing to compare his behavior to, for all we know he was always a jerk
We know more about Walter for crying out loud
So the reveal that he was going for the Earth's destruction hit me way less hard than I thought it should. Especially with them getting rid of the family relation between him and Shadow.
I really want to like this, but that half of the movie really just drags it down for me. Anything with Shadow and Sonic was good though. I don't think there was a lack of setup for Shadow turning
Here are, in my opinion, the notable differences between the film and the novelization.
- ||Unlike the film, there is no scene with Shadow breaking out of the prison island in the novel (it is instead contained to a brief mention in the second chapter).||
- ||Unlike the film, the novel goes into detail about Shadow damaging Shibuya Crossing in the second chapter (in the film, it’s only mentioned as “a giant fireball”).||
- ||Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Rockwell talk with each other on the helicopter in the novel regarding trust (in the film, it’s mainly brief and just wanting to go straight into the action).||
- ||The novel shows Shadow handcuffing Sonic to a top of a building, unlike the film, where it is implied he did.||
- ||Commander Walters shows videos of Project Shadow to Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles from his laptop at the Chao Garden instead of it being shown through flashbacks.||
- ||The meteorite is just mentioned as having crashed into Earth instead of Oklahoma.||
- ||Knuckles mentions that he had watched La Última Pasión while he was in Reno (he does not mention this in the film).||
- ||Gerald Robotnik answers a question about the SEGA Master System instead of the longest word in the English language.||
- ||Tails and Knuckles also come to Green Hills with Sonic for the Master Emerald instead of just Sonic going alone.||
Funnily enough, ||they leave out the ending in the novel for people to watch the movie to see how it ends lol||
Lol
Man
I wanna liiiike
Hopefully my opinion will improve after a while, I want to fully go gaga over this movie so bad
Doesn't help that in my showing the person behind us was having a larp session, talking out loud after every. Single. Line. Like she was a character in the movie 💀
Really fucked with me and my friend's enjoyment
So sorry to hear about that, Lovo. Hope you can find another showing that you can enjoy peacefully.
Nah man I'm not paying another $10 for that
But I'll enjoy the clips once they come out on Youtube
Overall still a really good film
The fuck you mean larp session what was the dipshit saying
Literally talking like they were a character in the movie
Like you know those people who talk to their body pillows
It was bizarre
The scene where Sonic and Shadow were having a heartfelt conversation on the moon and I was like "awwww" only for my immersion to be broken by her loudly saying "YOU'RE NOT ALONE [SHADOW]"
Literally after every single line
oh what the fuck
She wouldn't shut up after being shushed either
yea that seems like a major distraction and I’m sorry u had to go thru that
Murder is sometimes justifiable
Tbh if someone kept yelling behind me after every line I’d proudly and calmly say “CAN YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU CU-“
I should watch it a second time, I'll probably enjoy it a lot more without a bitch in my ear trying to hype up her friend Sonikku-kun
Not yelling but still too loud for a movie theater
yeah i aint going back to the theatre

but i lowkey kinda wished i got the knux and tails keychains
but also not too attached to those versions to go out of my way to get em either
I am shocked that my experience was actually silent for once
I got Sonic and Knux and I wanted to trade out my Knux for Shadow but they wouldn’t let me
If you come out of the theater and crowd antics were overshadowing the movie it's definitely a cause for a rewatch lmao
Granted I went to a 4pm showing in the IMAX theater
hearing everyones hype for the climax was nice
My experience was silence because I deemed it so 
Surprisingly mine was silent until Live and Learn kicked in
The Sonadow people will definitely have fun with this movie lmao
There was nobody behind me so I couldn't recreate the soyjak pointing meme when Super Sonic & Shadow showed up
it aint like the average indian blockbuster hype, we treat it like its a goddamn festival
I shrieked when they transformed to Live and Learn, that was so Dragon Ball Z
I mean it is the franchise’s main inspiration
theyll deny it loool
At least I think
My little brother also said when we left the theater that Sonic 3 is the best movie he's ever seen
Awwwww
I'm glad I took him opening night
you are making a new generation of shadowheads and they will pass it on to their children
Jim Carrey had a nice last hurrah as Eggman, even if it wasn't my cup of tea
And I'm also glad that I bought him the ENTIRE 5 inch figure lineup lmao
||I'm glad he and Stone made up before the end||
So I now know he'll love it
BUT THEY DIDNT MAKE OUT
SO WHAT IS THE POINT
they didn’t have time for Eggman stone kiss
That barber scene was basically a homoerotic makeout sesh
Yea true especially since he literally tore off stone’s shirt to reveal he is surprisingly jacked
||another mainstream media yaoibaiting its audience, tragic||
Shadow handcuffing Sonic was not on my bingo card
Smooooooth
I audibly gasped when he pinned him against the glass because I'm brainrot 
they def tried baiting us with that scene
And them smiling at each other??? Working seamlessly together while playfully snarking??? Yes this is my rivalry ma'am
No notes for Shadow, he was perfect this movie
Keanu did a good job
Honestly kinda crazy how Movie had the friendliest Sonic and Shadow rivalry in the series
Robotnik talking about how Stone should be tying himself up on his own time like huhhhhhhh
Like when he said “don’t tell me, you’ve got a catchphrase” I was about to cry
My theatre instantly went “oooh” when he said that line😭
Nah man they were on that "now you understand me" type shit that's wild
Henry will be happy
tho I do enjoy how Eggman is so pissed to the point where he says damn multiple times even tho one of those should have gone to Shadow
Once it’s at digital
The second it hits digital the world will rejoice because peak has hit their streaming
So can we talk about something
Im getting the physical blu ray day one
Well that
It’s more that I can’t go to theaters anymore
4K and everything
|| they said no black arms stuff but that meteor kinda felt like set up for the premise||
Why, what happened?
My parents are more retired and my brother has work going on
While for me I have no one to go with

Ohhh
Yea makes sense, but going by urself is probably the best because u get to hog all the popcorn
Farts
why are you like this
Not really
I just dislike going alone in public
LMAOOOOOOO
Oh ok, my bad
wait they weren’t before?
“Sinner Sundays” oh fuck
Parody account btw
But still funny af
Getting served by the gays on Sinner Sundays
Tails is actually a character

Doesn't say anything close to "ONLY SONIC THE HEDGEHOG COULD orchestrate the attack on the pentagon"
Oh thank god
Very good, especially Knuckles
||When he and Sonic are about to come to blows over using the Master Emerald and he's the one to back down and reaffirm his trust, that honestly hit me
The Knuckles from before would never have||
||And also you know saving Sonic and Tails from the ultimate Shadow cosplay (falling from orbit)||
||brooooo that’s so good! Movie really has the best knuckles.really makes me hope for sa1 adaptation to further fulfill his closure||
||yea tbh they cooked with knuckles here||
He didn’t say cringe 0/10
|| Oh yeah, he never actually said that. Huh ||
Nope never
Okay I’m back
I’ve recovered
Not gonna be here long buuuuut I had a lot of fun with that
Ironically this is the one film in the series where I felt like there was a little too much jim carrey?
but I didn’t think any of it was bad and I’ve seen other people get a kick out of it so whatever
My exact problem
It took my out and not in a good way
Ahh
like it's not perfect but relative to the movies, I honestly enjoyed it the most
I didn’t dislike it
But the only time it got in the way
||Is when super sonic and super shadow were boxing and it’d just keep cutting back to their shenanigans ||
maybe it just scratched my brain right with some of the fanscervice ||like the Super fight for those seconds looked intense af||
||Like even in sonic 2 they’d let the sonic and knuckles fight play out completely, but they just kept cutting back and forth, it was a bit jarring||
||I liked how Gerald got more serious when his scheme was revealed to Robotnik but also got a bit disappointed how they both started being utlra goofy towards the climax||
I feel like the faster pacing definitely made the film feel more disjointed
||I agree, the tone shift was especially jarring||
||not serious enough to me tbh||
Another minor issue I have
I really did not like Gerald, he was my least favorite part of the movie by far
I think shadow turned good too quickly? 😭
I think the movie could have benefited from like
10 minutes of extra runtime
And maybe more Maria
||Like 5 seconds earlier they’re punching the shit out of each other and the next they’re flying and making banter||
||understandable but I guess I just don't expect these films to really ever un-ham the robotniks
but also didn't mind him too much in this iteration, though would've been rad if he was as fucked up as in SA2||
But yeah this is about what I expected out of a movie-verse adaptation at SA2
And they handled it better than I thought they would tbh
||was not expecting actual GUN robots.. my beloved||
I think I need to sit down and watch this again at my own leisure
To get my own thoughts in order without letting the hype get to my head
Because all of the action in this movie is genuinely amazing imo
Like my head hurts from how much I screamed 😭
Oh YEAH post credits
definitely not my movie of all time lmfaoo but I think it's probably the best in the sonic trilogy
Man I'm so glad I was legit afraid of all the Deadly Six jokes
a deadly reveal..
||Ok I know I said Amy or Metal would warrant much of a reaction but I was wrong 😭||
I freaked the FUCK out
||Metal Sonic is literally just his normal design so ofc he looks good||
||i'm just surprised at both Metal being near identical and Amy having the fucking cloak like that one fan design||
||Metal Sonic stays winning when it comes to no changes lmao||
I IMMEDIATELY thought of that lol
They knew 😭😭
||I just hope she actually feels like Amy and not...Movie Peach V2||
||also METAL SONIC HAS A ARM CANNON||
||still dunno how she'll be like but hopefully she'll be good
interesting hammer I'll say||
||LET THAT SHIT BE IN MAIN SERIES!||
||Yeah I’m not sure how much I’d trust Hollywood to handle Amy tbh||
Before I even saw the movie, I was thinking to myself “||why doesn’t Eggman just make an entire army of metal sonics at this point?||”
||funny how I semi predicted it||
||yeah I’ll wait and see over amy||
Speaking of sonic
Let’s be real he’s not gonna become a completely different character
But I was pleasantly surprised
I think he was pretty good here
I’m fine with that because I always love movie sonic
I don’t love him but I was always fine with him
But that’s just my opinion lmao
I don’t mind movie sonic personally
But this was definitely him at his best
Like I don’t think there was any moment where he really came off as annoying to me
I do prefer game sonic, but movie sonic is a decent adaptation and still feels like the character I enjoy
I tolerate movie sonic
sometimes he's cool, a good chunk I'm just like ok
Like yeah konichiwhat is cringe as hell, and he still has the pop culture jokes
but I don't really care since that's its own thing
Well yeah I mean judging it as its own thing
I think he’s good here
||When he gets pissed off and has the argument with tails and knuckles, that was great||
as its own thing I could probably like it more but hopefully he continues to grow more
I just meant like I don't put too much stake into how he's or how I'd prefer him since it has no effect on the games afaik
I've always had a fondness for Movie Sonic and I think all his development really shines in this movie
||Like I’m not a fan of third act break ups too often but I love how you could feel how genuinely pissed off he was||
Props to ben for his voice acting and ofc the vfx team
Also funny thing
||oh yea I liked that||
||The growl Ben puts into his voice when he's arguing with Knuckles is so good, and the red lighting in that scene
Like mmmmm love narrative parallels||
||The scene of Tom yelling Sonic was just kind of a gag scene with the panel floor and I was like “oops guess they were wrong Tom’s not dead after all lmao”||
||And he gets clocked IMMEDIATELY in the next scene||
😭
I think the parallel between Sonic and Shadow was also really good
||Their talk on the moon was also great||
||I really liked how Knuckles had to calm himself, really shows how far he's come in his own growth and trust among his new friends||
That was a very pretty scene, the whole fight was gorgeous visually
I honestly think I liked Tom and Maddie (the “boring” human characters) more than the gerald dance scene 💀
YEAH that was so good
||seriously was expecting Tom to be dead, but I already saw him being alive coming during the end but hey cool for them still being a family||
||Tom and Maddie bounce off of them really well, they're silly and competent enough to be entertaining and I've never minded them||
Yeah
Oh yea also is it just me, or does it feel like tails gets to do more than he did in sonic 2?
Like I always thought Tom and Maddie were good enough
Especially since I watched movie 1 earlier this week, they have really good chemistry even there
||I'm glad we got more Rachel, even if it was technically Maddie
also I will erase the Toon Tom out of my mind thank you||
Something that’s a benefit of the faster pacing though, even if I wasn’t the biggest fan of the latter
It didn’t last too long
||I do think it's hilarious that the one GUN lady they advertised appears for like 5 minutes and is completely irrelevant in the last act of the movie||
Whenever people say "boring human characters", I just assume they're talking about characters like the members of Maddie's family
So it wasn’t there long enough for me to go “alright let’s keep it moving already”
oh hi john sega
but yeah
Hi Fizzyy
||It’s kinda funny how many times live and learn is teased in this movie, almost like they were overcompensating for the fact that the other two scores were kinda shi-||
but yea Tom and Maddie were fun in this
||Dude I’m crying they had rachel and randall on these fuckass posters but it was just tom and maddie in disguise 💀||
||I was a little disappointed by the fact that it wasn't the original song, but I'm just glad it played at all||
||glad Maddie had more involvement||
Speaking of characters on posters
I thought rockwell was gonna have a much bigger role?
I wasn’t expecting it to be, so I didn’t really care :)
||Also I did really like Maria in this movie, for what little we had of her||
Tbf she wasn’t shown much in the marketing
But I thought that was because they were hiding something or some shit
||wasn’t expecting Eggman’s 06 theme to show up, of all pieces||
But no she’s just kind of side threat(?) and then she’s gone for the rest
||oh yea I'm fucking happy about Live and Learn, having the vocals even for a bit was unexpected too
but also liked the detail of the Level Clear theme at one point||
Yeah you'd think she would've done more in the movie
||Also gun commander dying off RIP was hhhhhh||
||I kind of wish him and shadow had some sort of interaction before then||
||I thought the twist was that she was part of GUN upper management and was trying to erase the entire Ark Incident
But nah she was just a normal lady||
||Oh yeah I loved hearing the level clear theme and immediately recognizing where it's from||
Oh yeah the Easter eggs were also fun
||also one of the track titles in the soundtrack is Throw It All Away even though it sounds nothing like Throw It All Away. Why would you do this to me Junkie XL😭😭😭||
||Him actually being a good guy was the biggest twist in the movie lmao||
||yea wish there were a few more scenes but at least what we got did the job enough
really some lovely moments there||
||The split second of the e.g.g.m.a.n. ring tone 😭||
YEAH lmao
||guess he threw it all away and did something else ||
||The only people who would've recognized that are Sonic fans who've listened to that theme too much (so me)||
||Was that the eggman theme from unleashed/06?||
Like I can’t tell if I’m making shit up or if the motif was there
||I heard it play in the credits so yea probably||

||despite the sense of scale being a bit smaller, I liked this take on the ARK as just a space canon
the main area (or well only walkable area) looking kinda like observatory in SA2 was a nice touch, did not expect the thing to also have a goofy moustache but it is much appreciated||
What’s ur opinion on that family guy cutaway gag
With knuckles
Top 10 Funniest Sonic Moment
||I wouldn't say this movie's scale is smaller by any means||
Yes
It was funny, got a quick laugh out of me
"This is worse than the time I stole the master emerald!"
Ok so
I’ve seen reviews say this was the least funny film
It might be the funniest for me? Idk 😭
This is worse than the time I played sonic adventure 2 on the dreamcast
Na 3s jokes hit the hardest
||oh yea it's still huge but just meant like it's got a single purpose rather than this giant lab but no point in having it that way since the movie split it into the GUN base and the canon now||
It’s funnier than 2 I think
||No fortnite dances!!!!||
||Ohh I see||
||revenge quac...||
||“they’re letting women into the military” gerald WHAT THE FUCK||
Bro some of these jokes were funny af
And u know who took the show?
Rachel
Like always
Rachel carrying these films imo
true
||Eggman doing the Fnaf 2 jumpscare to Santa Gerald😭||
Hhhh
we need the Shadow and Rachel show tbh
||One of the funniest parts for me is when Gerald just... evaporates||
I mean it WAS funny but it didn’t stick out to me that much
DUDE
THAT KILLED ME
||bro really got tossed like a fly into a bug trap||
||SAME it was so funny||
||I was expecting him to die but not like that 😭||
||A fitting end for a very slimy old dude||
||I made a joke to a friend when he got swatted “oh he’s dead” but he actually got fucking vaporized 😭😭||
||true||
||Yeah it was so anticlimatic yet so funny||
||when you are a villain in a kids movie it's free real-estate in terms of how you can get killed||
I will say, I think I do prefer Gerald’s story in the games overall, but that’s more so because the games have a lot more to work with than the movies and it isn’t a detracting factor to the movie itself since it kept the most important elements
I know gerald not being on death row is a bit of a bummer but
||also holy shit, they actually humanised the gun soldiers that caused Maria’s death :o||
||Him wanting to destroy the earth and then kill HIMSELF is also pretty fucked up||
||was thinking maybe he'll fall and get hit by the laser or just idk, fall into space and just die
or maybe the ARK blows up with him on it
insane ||
10/10 movie, must see again literal peak
||I do believe the movies intentionally made him irredeemably evil so that kids won't sympathize or feel conflicted about the way he goes out||
||Also “you’re no maria” that was so good ||
BRO
I really liked gerald’s turn in the latter half
cold af
me and my friend were so shocked
When he said that
Like DAMN BRO
u didn’t need to say that 😭
Also thank god, keanu’s performance as shadow is actually alright
||I appreciate him being much colder, like he's still silly jim carreybotnik but I like the air of fury he's got at times and just how he really doesn't think much of his grandson at the end||
Yeah it was ok
I was very worried by the dlc cause his delivery was kinda off
I was pleasantly surprised by it
Bro Keanu did such an amazing job for me
Nah I don’t think it was amazing
I totally get it
||ngl before the movie I was hoping that he did some experiments on himself and he turns into a hideous monster in the end (like Frankenstein's monster style) before his timely demise. Alas, they made him a robot scorpion lol||
my none Sonic fan friends said it was probably one of the best movies they have seen there whole life😭😭😭
||because when it showed maria’s death scene||
My friend laughed under her breath at his “maria” delivery because she thought it was so bad 😭
||oh hoping for a last minute geralizard huh?||
Also imma say, Maria and Shadow’s relationship in this movie, 10x better than SA2
tbh you were on to something tobe
I’m sorry 😭
Lowkey I wish the budgets for hollywood movies weren't so bloated
I also recorded most of the movie on my phone, like the best segments in my opinion, to rewatch when I get home
kinda easy when you're not like two short scenes
Because it was fleshed out more in later games (I think)
To allow for more than 1 crazy thing per movie lol
Getting to see how playful maria actually is definitely aids in the tragedy of it
Seeing her act like a child
We need that Japanese animated movie with a $10 mil budget
So they can go ham
On the cheap
I kinda wanted a sonic animated movie to happen
Now with 3…I kinda want them to keep on goin 😭
Why not both?
the way shadow looked through the ruins and with all the broken stuff and relics and how it quickly cut back after the flashback
ouch
mainly because
I want it to happen before they ever stop with the live action movies
But also I think it’d be cool
like give it to me asap
Something that stuck with me since I saw the movie was how you could really feel Shadow's pain
||"Gotta go fast."||
||Shadow taking off his limiter rings?||
The sound I made
I was expecting it because of the clasps but still
I will forever stand by my belief that Flying Bark should animate it
||was not expecting it to be the movie that does that
like, though SXSG would be that but no, wow||
||I actually took it as a reference to the first movie's original trailer when seeing it||
||Ngl though I do wish that Sonic and Shadow had had one last interaction before the latter's death(?)
Sonic was kind of just taken out for those final minutes||
Are they serious
in that case movie 2 had two sonic x references
Might’ve been the super sonic vs super shadow fight
Not alone
But it kinda felt like they wanted to cram as much cool stuff as possible until the end of the movie without taking too much account into how it flowed
||apparently base Shadow is so busted he can go toe-to-toe with Super Sonic briefly and then also power up a laser that the 2 of them combined couldn't stop
did he even need the super form😭||
oh yeah I bought this at my theatre
I think Sonic 2’s climax was paced better, even if it was nowhere near as cool
||guess that's why his quills look Super shaped..||
Sometimes you gotta maximize that cool factor in exchange for flow
damn he's so tiny
Free him
||and ofc much to my dismay, super shadow doesn't get his quills raised more except for like 1 or 2 scenes where they are powering up||
$200 million budget here we come
||they put super shadow on back lol my friend was so pissed cause he didn’t even know super shadow was gonna be in the movie, he hasn’t played sa2||
I am reminded of the people saying this movie was gonna metal sonic amy shadow rouge and whoever the fuck else
I kinda wanna keep it sealed it was $21😭😭😭
I hope after watching the movie people realize what can and can't fit in these things
Not adding rouge was a smart move
Unleashed 2 budget
Now the rouge heads are gonna start petitioning for the next film 💀
can Omega show up? 
||I just realized… the Japanese cover of "I Want You Back" may or may not be a subtle nod to Michael Jackson, as the song itself was originally performed by the Jackson 5.||
Omega is always welcomed
as he should be
they thought they were so fucking clever huh.
imho I feel like e series has to show up
Honestly we must need the Chaotix, Silver and Omega and the movie verse is perfect for me
Just make Omega a GUN project
Silver would ruin it for me
Other than him, I'd like to see the rest in the Movieverse
Actually I can see Omega being made by GUN as a countermeasure for Shadow if he ever goes rogue
a nice twist on what 06 presents
Oh yeah another thing I remembered
It’s kind of silly how shadow just suddenly remembered maria’s wish at the end of SA2
||So them not having him promise her anything, and for Gerald to manipulate him when he has doubts and says “this isn’t about what she wants, it’s about what they deserve”||
I think that was well done
idk shadow's memory was tampered with by gerald and he only gains backs some of them through specific triggers. so it makes sense why he would suddenly remember that by the end
I guess considering GUN used Eggman's tech in some aspect does make sense in a way over Omega
I don’t think that’s conveyed very well in the game, I don’t think I would’ve known that if someone didn’t tell me
But fair enough
i mean i think before final chase, there was that scene with rouge confronting shadow if hes even the ultimate life form
thats where they teased biolizard and shadow expliciitly sayingeven if his memories arent real, its all he has
like idk how much more youd want em to spell it out for u
||yeah lol there prob saving her for the shadow movie or the 4th one cause she was in this same with u know who||
i dont think theyll ever add rouge
||no way sa2 part 2||
||I still can’t believe she actually has the the little red riding hood cloak 😭||
||||no Heroes| did u forget metal Sonic||
if Maddle wears a white shirt, we'll get Rouge
||it's so cute on here||
yknow its gonna be silver if thats the case be frrrr
||meant specifically the image, gives me Team Hero and Dark vibes + Stone||
oh yeah lol
need Maddie to wear a red shirt with some yellow on it
or maybe a light purple shirt..
Gimme Maddie with a cyan shirt
yes
wisps fpr 5
What if you were spanking your grandson with your comically large hand, but then he said:
Back from the movie
Ayy
yo deleter join the party
I need to see that movie again ngl, halfway because I feel like I missed a lot due to circumstances outside of the movie
But also holy shit my family was brutal on this

You family was harsher than Sonic fanboys?
I'm actively trying to enjoy the movie and they're actively shaking their heads and even motioning boos
Did they not like the muzzle curves
Wait what
I think they def are fanboys by the sounds of it
Tf
What was there to boo lmao
My dad was the only one that didn't really participate but that's bc he didn't really know what the game was like
It was the live and learn scene
Why 😭😭😭
Huh
They said it didn't earn it
??????
And ngl I do agree but
I was trying
To see
What the movie did on its own terms

Wait did ur family like sonic?
Or did they not and u dragged them along 😭
By now it sounds like they do yeah
No THEY dragged ME
They probably were expecting SA2 1-to-1
It was the Sonic and Shadow talk
They more fanboy than you
😭
😭
They fucking hated him
HUH??!
AND Shadow
Lmfao
Did they like Shadow Gens
YEAH
They apparently haven't played
Or seen Dark Beginnings
Bruh
Which is wild
Also question how old are they
What did they think of Jim Carrey if they hated Shadow lol
...
One sec I gotta remember
Not the soundtrack titles being random sa2 references 😭😭
Older brother 24, middle brother 20, younger sister 17, youngest brother 14
Gotta be trolling 💀
Whaaaa but he was good!
Tyson Hesse on retro confirmed he channeled Ian Flynn and wrote the names
I liked him 
I didn't dislike his performance but I dislike how the movie paced his scenes
And Gerald, in general
He was good I think people don't like that Gerald was written too comedic
I could not believe the way they presented Gerald's death even with knowledge of how it went, that shit was incredible
Cinema
I mean if we're talking about the selective fanboyism they were taken by him the moment he made them laugh
Fizzle it was by Tyson Hesse
I didn't really hear them complain about Gerald
That's for like
Ik but it’s funny
The hyper turbo Sonic nerds
Cause he wasn't a super complex good guy turned villain character
> E.G.G.M.E.N.
> no eggman theme motif
> has live and learn instead
???
You gotta keep in mind these tracks match what's happening in the scenes
i know I KNOW im just being silly
The main things they brought up as complaints were the pacing, the character arcs/writing, Shadow and Maria, Shadow himself, and the references for the sake of it iirc
The names are based on that
im looking for that one track
that sounded a lot like the 06 eggman theme
when the eclipse cannon was lifting
I need to know if I was going crazy or not
It's in there somewhere
Meanwhile Shadow when it is about to end here:
Dude that scene was crazy
And the way that Shadow was floating above the ruins, maaaan
Unfortunately we ran into the budget situation again and the fight scenes can't be very long
It was like a little over a minute overall
at the very least it’s much cooler than sonic and knuckles exchanging a few blows in the temple
The fights were great this movie, surpassed the other two by a landslide
It was a certified anime moment were they saved the budget for this and the quality suddenly gets way better
the fight in tokyo was also great imo
I cannot get ||"Neon" by ONE OK ROCK|| out of my head lol
THAT WAS ONE OK ROCK?
oh yeah, this was in the movie apparently?
That’s actually my favorite song of theirs lol
Suddenly their punches and kicks started having video game aura
Eeeh
Yeah, it was when ||Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles jumped out of the helicopter||
The entire first fight with Shadow was amazing
The reaction when he pulled that shit with the motorcycle
Legend
I came away with a more positive opinion with the kids movie, idk if I can get behind it as anything with aura outside of that final fight
He had no reason to ride that motorcycle tho ngl
Ahhhh makes sense
I was gonna say something and idk if anyone can confirm
That scene was so cold I ain’t gonna lie
If it was necessary to include game quotes in the movie
Fraud allegations again
That was the coldest place to put one 😭
erm does he even know he can do that
Also I just noticed too when they jumped outta the plane they did the sonic heroes totem pole thing right at the end
Thought that was a cool Easter egg
me checking the definition of "cold" on Urban Dictionary
ngl
But man am I hoping for an extended cut home/streaming release
i popped off when i saw that
Same here
it wasnt even huge it just made me happy
Sonic 2 did include Drone Home which was a 5 min extra
“No food or movies, I’m outta here”
So it's not impossible I guess
i think the film could benefit from having an extended cut with a few minutes added on
i still cannot believe how fast that movie going experience was
we were at the climax before i knew it
Ok so it wasn't just me
I mean the parts in the middle were appropriately long
I did have like 20 mins of ads so it wasn't fast for me lmao
the only scene i felt boardered on too long was the dance
but it ended before it got to that point
I can't exactly clock the first 30 minutes bc my mind was frazzled from driving in the cold for so long
dude i just started to remember what exactly happened during the last half and i want to freak the hell out all over again
The impression that I got was that the trailers had shown most of those initial 30 minutes and everything was on fast forwards, but I'm not sure if it's accurate
i kind of don't want to watch a camrip so i can see it in its hd glory 
please leak the hd version early again lmao
Bro the whole third act
Got me
I was ascending
After Tom got packed up
That’s where shit got so interesting to me
me and my friend next to me were holding each other dawg 😭
Bro same here
also im very surprised
I was gripping tf outta my friend when live and learn started playing
when i went on twitter to look at sonic 3 stuff
there were pretty much no spoilers
the most i could find by casually scrolling was the junkie live and learn cover
speaking of which, it is criminal that its only 46 SECONDS
Tbh main things I'd focus is like... Integrate Gerald to the flashbacks more with 1 additional scene, add an extra scene for rockwell cause she was built up to do nothing in the end, do something with that giant Eggman crab, and also add a scene for the lore junkies about what's going on with the emerald(s)
Each can be like 1-2 min scenes
And ofc if they can, extending the fights would be cool
when you're on the poster for doing nothing
I mean rockwell still got her time to shine with the whole
going against sonic and eggman thing
Third party trying to thwart them all
Btw
In the trailers there was that whole lava backdrop when Sonic and Shadow fight
Bro this is how I fr acted when I saw that super sonic and shadow pose
Yeah?
When I saw it in the trailer I thought that was gonna happen because the moon was hit
It was during super sonic
maybe?
And right before
Only took me 623 rewatches
Hmmm
Alright
So I guess the moon is just there for the cool visual
it’s been hours and i still can’t believe i saw that
like after the movie
i was kind of in this delirious exhausted state
because i exerted so much energy while watching the movie
so now im sitting here at home and im like "did that really just happen"
Dude there were so many sonic fans just roaming my theater holy shit
YEAH there were so many sonic people in the lobby
This movie at least confirmed that Chaos Energy is a thing in the Movieverse too
It wasn't just kids this time it was dudes in full body suits with their highschooler friends
in my theater though
2nd watch complete, I just realized ||The Last Scene from SA2|| is credited I did hear that motif the first time but I thought I was just mishearing it or something
there were a group of friends behind my group of friends sitting right behind us
the back row seemed like families
It was during the smore scene
Pup mentioned in his spoiler talk but I didn't notice
I had to point that one out to my brother but that just made him madder 💀
Oh I thought it was when they were showing Stone ||mourning Robotnik||
They did yeah!
⁉️
And back then they weren't even that big on Sonic I don't think
Like "oh I liked the characters when I was a kid but"
"I don't need to see them in a specific way anymore"

i need to watch it again to form solid thoughts on it




without letting the hype get to my head
Oh yea, where was Escape from the City used, saw that credited but never heard it. Heard literally every other theme and motif except that
Maybe I'm the problem
Bc I sold them on the idea that they were going to do all the storybeats from the Sonic 2 Shadow teaser when it happened
because while in the theater it's like you're antsy for the next cool thing to happen so you're just waiiiiiting for the other scenes to go by, at least in my case
i don't think that's a fair way to judge something
maybe it IS your fault
For me the inbetween scenes felt the strongest, idk I think they captured a really good energy for the tone they want from the movies
But see here's the thing
They still got stuff wrong tho
oh no im not saying that, they were
So in the hallway I'm out there correcting them and stuff
Of all the things they were complaining abt 💀
Meanwhile my dad is like "wait what was the original story then"
Ah gotcha
I just wish we got more of Sonic and co interacting with Eggman
already pre orders for the blu ray wtf
Because that shit was golden
The baffled looks of everyone as I cheered for wade
I think I sorta heard a cover (specifically of the instrumentals) in G.U.N. Control but I’m not sure
Daamn
Bro my theater exploded for Wade
Also I love what they did with Stone
yes!!
They did a good job balancing the tone with him. Like he's this mostly unstoppable force that is treated with an appropriate amount of seriousness, but then he says "revenge guac" with a straight face and I'm like yep same old Shadow that's my boy
W
my row just went "oh my god" and laughed 😭
||gonna upload the last segment of the movie in 8k 60 soon dm me for the link|| still cam, but recorded on my phone
what the fuck kind of theater did you go to
A lot of laughs from Jim
I had my phone prepared for any crowd reactions but
to be fair
Nothing
AMC with Laser

my theater had enough restraint to only yell "HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT OBAMA"
Oh yeah the projector was actually really good this time
the projector in my theater was...............................
it was aight
i went to a regal theater in the mall 😭
Funny, they had to restart the movie for us five minutes in because the projector was freaking out 💀
Lmao no way
in general did you guys have a nice moviegoing experience
I did yeah
my theater was pretty nice the whole time
yeah
Ya
I kinda wish there were unhinged ppl in my theater though
Unfortunately not, me and my friend sat in front of a larper who wouldn't shut up the whole movie
Funny enough people got annoying at post credits
like a little kid would yap here and there but they were pretty respectful
I wanted to experience at least one crazy moment
I literally yelped his name on pure reflex, it came out louder than I meant it to be and the group of people my age sitting next to me let out a bewildered laugh
One stood up and was like “GUYS DONT MOVE, THERES A SECOND POST CREDITS, I REPEAT DONT MOVE”
first showing was a bit flat since there was mostly press people and whatever
but the second one I was in a theater filled with sonic fans that was hype as fuck
oh that stinks 😭
THERE IS?
Buh
I was like 😐
think that affected your enjoyment of the movie or nah
I only saw ||Amy and Metal||
Na
there is but
That shit was absolute peak
It was a really short one to be fair
its like
Probably tbh, ||I nearly missed the Super Sonic and Shadow dual transformation||
||just confirmation shadow survived||
But people were like “AMY FANS WHERE YOU AT”
its nothing too crazy
😭
second one is just ||shadow retrieving his inhibitor ring||
||Just shadow picking up his inhibitor ring||
damn it i misssssssed that
dude i would KIIIIILL myself no joke
I voice memo’d the theater reaction using my watch (it didn’t work very well though because it picked up my voice way louder) I’ll post the audio clip if I get the go-ahead
with the live and learn riff
hopefully it'll be uploaded on Youtube
it's up there
i think i started tearing up ngl 😭
Wait wait wait
I'm just mad, that one person ruined my theater experience
What did u say exactly???
I'd be fully immersed in the movie and then they'd yap and pull me right out of it, over and over
Didn't respond to any shushing either
What do you mean by larper like were they doing a sonic voice
Cuz one person in my theater did say something extremely loud
I just screamed “WADE”
They had a bunch of plushies in their hand and were talking like they were a character in the movie
Midway through the movie and I laughed
Like responding directly to what the characters would say
God my voice is sore after all the yapping
What’d they say
godddd that sounds so bad
I don’t remember 😭😭😭
What.
Was the town u watched the movie in begin with a P?
Also looking back on the voice memo you can’t really tell how loud I yelled but you can hear the people giggling
the thing that sucked for me was they where fuckin showing Mufasa on the bigger screen and literally no on in that theatre went to go see it😭
lmaooooo
What theater chain did you go to
the king is dead, long live the king
AMC
Oh I was at regal
Ahh
Was gonna say there was one person that screamed about something and me and my friend were laughing
AMC was nice the one I was at had the reclining seats so that was nice so I could hide my phone and not get caught recording lol
I remember when movie tavern was the only theater in my area that had recliners, now every single one of them has them 💀
me not even two minutes into the movie hearing the guitar strum of live and learn
someone at the screening I went to screamed ||Sonic died and the whole theatre just went silent 😭 ||
Realized that people hate stadium seating
I used to have an AMC in my town (even worked at it for a couple years) but it closed at the beginning of the month so now the closest theaters are the Regal and Cinebistro uptown like half an hour away
And according to the imax website the closest imax theater is fucking 40 miles away
Uagh I need to watch it again, I feel like I completely missed that scene somehow
it's the bit when shadow's waking up and there's flashes of her playing the guitar
at least you weren't my friend who was 10 minutes late because of traffic
he came in just as team sonic jumped off the helicopter
Me and my friend were 20 minutes late 😭
We ended up exchanging our tickets for another showing 30 minutes later
oh my fucking god 😭
Bro missed the coldest opening to a sonic movie ever, no way lol
Yeeeesh
lovo it genuinely sounds like you had a disasterous experience
Nah nah man
-20 minutes late
-projector issues restart the movie
-chronic yapper right behind us
maybe I need to watch the movie again
Yeeeeaaah def
I need to do the same but Idk when I'll be able to though; once the christmas week is over maybe?
i'm waiting for it to come on streaming
||ok so did Walter die in movie or what?||
i went straight for the cam rip on sonic 2 a few days later but i think i'll wait until it hits streaming
ngl after my experience i don't want to take chances, i'll just watch it on my laptop
i think it deserves that
good
Though someone said something about bluray preorders one sec
freshen up my head
Ah they're undated
||a lot of people are saying he did, but tbh I don't think I'm buying it||
Eeeeeh 50/50
||The way they revealed his injury was so unintentionally funny though||
literally lol
||One second Stone being a badass, the next, table lift, oh that's a dead guy (ish)||
im ngl i had no fucking idea who you guys were talking about at first 😭
||I think so? When Tom is disguised as Walters to trick Rockwell they say:
R: You're...
W: Still alive?
Which seems to imply she thought he was dead, and I'd assume she'd be in the know about that sort of thing||
was like "walter? walter white?" i did NOT know that was the gun commander's name
||Rip Walter, I went to Olive Garden for you babygirl||
||I like how he actually tries to stop the gun soldier from shooting maria||
||makes him seem more like a real person||
||Man when I saw young Walter I thought the twist was going to be that he was a Wachowski and the one who shot Maria, like people were theorizing||
Also did anyone else think Maddie's expression when ||she leaves in the ambulance with Tom|| made it seem like ||they were gonna have her sort of blame/resent Sonic & co for putting him in danger||? ||She looked sorta pissed||
I was wondering that too but after finishing the movie I don't think that was the intention
Would have been an awfully dark turn for a kid's movie too
I think she was just stressed and worried
Yeah maybe it's a remnant of an earlier bit
Yeah I thought the exact same thing for a second
I figure now that it was a sort of "I'll go with him, do what you gotta do" look
glad they left it in though it's like she sorta worked things out on her own which fits her character, she's been shown to be good at calming herself down a bit (like when she talked to Tom after finding out about Sonic in the first movie), so it makes sense she'd be able to collect herself, step back, and look at things rationally during really emotional moments
unrelated but I like how this joke still fits with the Maddie Shirt Color Theory
https://x.com/TheSonicScript/status/1529953021832093700
Ngl I'm surprised they didn't attempt to tease ||Dark Super Sonic||
why would they tease that
||Yeah no ngl I thought they were going to do it when he transformed||
||Since they had sort of dark forms for the Echidnas who went mad from the Emerald's power||
||I guess Super Sonic is just his one and only form||
I'm still so surprised they introduced the tension of Sonic vs Knuckles and then immediately killed it dead with no hesitation
LMAOOOOOO
everyone just saying sonic 4 better lol it’s the funniest shit ever
meanwhile all the instagram comments are probably "nice try diddy"
gonna check rn lol
found one sonic comment😭😭😭
why ate they calling him unc😭😭😭
disney adults
it’s literally true
lol
I talked shit under a trailer on yt a few weeks back and there were so many disney adults jumping me lmao
they were so angry
that’s funny lol there is no disney movie this year that tops sonic movie 3
Just realized that ||"Green Hill, Good Future" has a leitmotif of "A New Home" from the first soundtrack.||
Who has that resetera post of guy with a Captain America simba pfp bootlicking mufasa and shitting on sonic?
It was posted on this server a couple weeks ago
Because the people behind the sonic movies actually give a shit :o
Still
I'm not gonna count my eggs before they hatch
but I'm keeping this tab open to gloat to these MFs later if sonic actually comes out on top
I will NOT be the bigger man
I WILL be a petty bitch
It shouldn’t be beating juggernauts of the movie industry
Oh no doubt mufasa will make more in the long run
calling sonic 3 generic is insane when Mufasa is literally a fuckin cash grab💀
But for opening weekend???
That’s what really matters to me 💀
which is why I'm holding off on the gloating lol
And every time they're somehow the underdog
Because movie people just don't understand
What they are dealing with
yeah it released globally pretty sure
Sonic out here slapping every company he comes by opening weekend
it’s amazing
literally a christmas miracle😭😭😭
Sonic making 35 mil on preview night over mufasas 12 mil
Absolutely insane to me
Especially when mufasa clearly had way more marketing
it started snowing before I left the house to go the the theatre, and when we left the theatre cars were covered in snow it doesn’t even snow during Christmas time where I live😭😭😭
They didn't kill it though
Knuckles willingly stepped back, something he wouldn't have done before
yeah lol apparently Paramount redid the ending cause of the story boards leaking lol, which could play a role on why we got a trailer so late
they still fuckin cooked
I think the leaked storyboard changed a lot of plans actually imo
What was the original ending?
I also think it’s responsible for the post credits too
and did a good job at hiding the real good stuff
I avoided the leaked storyboards like the plague
Shadow and eggman fuck with time basically
it was literally called time travel lol
WHAT
The laser was about to hit the earth but instead of redirecting it
i think sonic had a way more budget tbh
Shadow pulls a Superman and makes the eclipse cannon a Time Machine
that's wild 😭 i think this way was simpler actually
idk, Mufasa has way more cgi lol
kind of glad they didn't do that ngl
||I still think it was responsible for not including silver imo||
||if they went with this storyboard, the post credits would’ve been entirely different imo||
||yeah also another change shadow just stands outside the ark and doesn’t even talk to eggman while eggmen just panicks😭😭😭||
Honestly
It makes sorta sense????
I think it was a deliberate tease of the next installment
Like you can connect that to the post credits and it’ll make sense
Does it
?
I meannnn
Sorta???
Multiple metals with one overruling main one
||this could also explain those supposed fake/ real screenshot of super shadow they look like and earlier version that’s mor accurate to the toys cause it is straight up the same shot from the movie, but zoomed out||
Amy with ragedy cloak
You may just be making connections that aren’t there but maybe
