Film Threat absolutely gushed over the movie and even admit their not fans or the target audience.

Hoping to see it today or tomorrow at the latest myself.
 
Sonic 3 was so bad and upset me so much I think I’m going to start reading the Bible and devote myself to God or something. I think God is the only one who can heal my pain from this.

I remember praying a while back for God to help me let go of my obsessions, the shows and media that occupy my mind. I feel like I am so attached to those it has kept me from trying to form a relationship with God. I sometimes think that if I was given the choice between God or fictional characters I like to devote my life to I would choose a fictional character and that scares me. So I prayed to God to help me let go of these things so I can learn to love him.
Shadow has been one of my favorite characters for years now. So maybe this hurt is God’s way of helping me fall away from my obsession.

This disappointment has hurt me in my soul. The changes to Shadow’s backstory has me wanting to go all ‘Sonic’s arms are not blue over it.’ I have been crying to hours. I think I will always be sad when I look a Shadow now because of this movie.

I genuinely think I might have autism, I’ve wondered for a while but this reaction I’ve had to this movie has really made me think I do because I don’t think this is normal.
Is this a new copypasta?

Should it be?
 
Anyone else wish the game Knuckles took a little more from movie Knuckles?

I say this as a life long Sonic fan from the 90s— I feel like game Knuckles just doesn’t stand out like he used to. He doesn’t really have much of a personality.

Movie just is the perfect Knuckles to me— the personality is spot on, he has the right amount of stupidity and he’s a legit badass.

I don’t feel the same with the other characters but Knuckles definitely makes me want more from the game.
Game Knuckles lore with movie personality would just be *chef’s kiss*
Movie Knuckles combines the best part of Knuckles' best interpretations: Adventure era - specifically Heroes - with what can be interpreted from Classic and mixes it in with the modern Drax style of goofy but honorable comic relief badass. Even that shitty Knuckles TV show gives him really good moments and I think importing some of his personality into the games could help him stand out after Shadow has beat him in popularity polls for the past two decades

The movies just do a better job with character dynamics in general, the problem with Sonic is despite characters being the entire point of the franchise they have trouble with coming up with interesting interactions for characters other than the classics: what is Knuckles' dynamic with Tails in the games? Or Shadow's with Vector? Or Rouge with Blaze? With the movies, you get an answer for Knux and Tails: he's the big brother. I think if the movies introduce those characters I mentioned theyll find ways to have them interact in interesting ways
 
Despite his political takes and TDS, Jim Carrey really pulled his weight (no pun intended) since there are multiple scenes where both his characters on screen. He went out with a bang if this is his final role before retirement.
I'm losing track of how many of these they've made lol

I like how this poster gave away what happens to the Moon in the climax. This movie took the laws of science, threw them out, and I loved it. Sonic and Shadow can have a conversation on the Moon and not die? Okay. A portion of the Moon is destroyed and does not affect the Earth in a significant way? Sure, why not.

Don't tell me you were actually expecting chads and stacys, were you?
I honestly wasn't expecting anything. Just a typical movie crowd. I was surprised to see several groups of super-nerds cosplaying. In the 300-400 pound range.
It's just sort of sad to see people in your age group with your same brand of autism just be so gross. I knew I could probably talk to these weirdos for hours about Sanic but man they weren't even wearing deodorant.

Man I thought I was a little bummed to see Shadow not be created by Gerald but you literally have to pray about it. That's pretty funny.
The movies are just an entirely different canon. It's okay.

Edit: Also if you're hyper fixated on characters you probably do have a touch of the tism. I know I do.

I absolutely hated the Pender-verse as it was coming out back in the day but it's really easy to just choose your canon.
 
This question contains a spoiler for the movie so don't read it if you care about sort of thing.
What the fuck happened to the Master Emerald? Sonic and Shadow got juiced up, threw down in the best live action DBZ fight I've ever seen, had a little chat on the moon, powered up again, smashed the fuck out of the Eclipse Cannon and then ended the movie. But where did the Chaos Emeralds go? Last I saw they were on Earth being absorbed between Sonic and Shadow, they weren't used on the moon so I assume they were still inside Sonic and Shadow, then Sonic stole Shadow's kino death from SA2, and the Emerald/s were just gone. They didn't reform, didn't reappear, didn't get scattered across the sky like in the games. They just vanished. Where did they go?

They have to be in Shadow because he was still in Super mode during the Eclipse Cannon explosion Sonic lost his Super mode as he was crashing towards Earth.

So he’s just somewhere with all the emeralds while also being naturally powered by Chaos energy in the movie canon. That’s OP af.

Which means ooooo they’re gonna need to find Shadow to get the Chaos Emeralds back. And somehow that will be tied to Amy? Or maybe they’ll make another spinoff show about the Emeralds/Shadow.

Fucking exciting stuff.

Well that could probably be the plot of that Knuckles and Shadow show that Idris Elba and Keanu want to do, especially with Knuckles being the protector of the Emeralds.

As for my own future speculation, I feel like if Jim Carrey sticks to retirement (since Sonic 3 felt like a good sendoff for him), I think the future villains of the Sonic movie continuity are going to be Metal Sonic and Black Doom. Especially with how Shadow is an alien in this continuity.

Knuckles and Shadow show that Idris Elba and Keanu want to do
!! Well that would be perfect. Especially since Knuckles was impressed by Shadow in the movie. In fact, I was a VERY disappointed there weren't more interactions between the two in the film since Knuckles wanted to fight him so badly.
Frankly, Shadow needed more interactions with the Sonic crew in general. I really did like Sonic and Shadow's very brief friendship moment on the moon but it was sooo brief. At least the fighting scenes were beyond kick ass.

I would love another go at a Knuckles spin off. I absolutely hated the first one but the few moments that were Knuckles-centric were fun. I think the Sonic-Movie-Team is 'smart' enough to learn from the global criticism of the show and try again.

Also it would be the perfect opportunity to introduce Rouge since she's extremely important in both Shadow and Knuckles' lives.
 
I think the future villains of the Sonic movie continuity are going to be Metal Sonic and Black Doom.
I'm curious to see if Metal Sonic will be revealed to a secret project Robotnik was working on after the events of the second movie and just abandoned him. With his master gone, the main robot came online and made a bunch of duplicates as seen in the mid-credit scene.

Could also be time travel shenanigans. Though this really depends on if Jim Carrey is coming back or not on how they'd do Metal Sonic.

Neo Metal Sonic ruling over a bunch of short-king OG Metal Sonics he made would make me die a happy fan-girl
 
They're making up new stuff, I wouldn't be surprised if Amy is from Sonic's new "Home" World. They brought up the Owl so they probably want Sonic to go back to his original World. Then they can do the storyline with Chaos and the Echidnas, start introducing more characters and get away from the humans, all that good stuff.
If they want to be cheap then all of this shit will happen on Earth, less crap to render.

could be how he learns chaos control
 
My local movie theater ended up doing one of those early fan event screenings on Friday so I decided to go to that and a 4DX showing a few hours later.

There is one thing I'd like to point out about Shadow though...
Future film could still have Black Doom and the Black Arms as antagonists even after writing out his involvement with Gerald Robotnik and Project Shadow, especially if said films decide to touch on what happened to Shadow before he was encased in a meteor and crashed on Earth.
 
After complaining about it online I have found that literally no one shares my opinion or is emotionally affected by it like I was. Am I retarded? Do I have giga Sonic autism? Wtf is wrong with me? Why did I cry about them changing Shadow’s backstory for hours and hours yesterday?? Why am I still so upset?

I think it’s time. I am ready to take the Christ pill. Only Jesus can save me from this pain.

I do hyper fixate on characters. It used to be to an extreme degree, especially in high school. It’s not nearly as bad now. I think Shadow was one of the first characters I really obsessed over. I thought I had gotten over it and he had just become a character I sort of like now. But with my reaction to changes like that in the movie I guess I never really did. I just feel ridiculous. It has affected me emotionally to such a degree that I feel like I’m grieving something. I know it’s not normal to feel this way over something like this. Like I’m getting close to 30 and I still feel like I haven’t matured past my late teens. I hate being like this.
