@@RikThunder33Well, it’s more impressive because most companies in the past with video game movies, they’ve always ignored any time of source material to pull from. Which is why this is held high, as video game movies were not always great. The old Mario Bros movie is a prime example of that
The thing with Eggman, it really depends on the show and continuity. Sometimes he’s goofy, other times he tries to act as serious as possible while still being goofy. And other times it’s just a serious robotnic.
True eggman is: 50% goofy, 50% serious. Too goofy he's a cartoon Too serious he's another lame marvel DC background villain of the not even a week. True eggman is someone who destroys everything on his path, making serious threats, with a goofy smile on his face
@@VenomHEDGEHOG and then slaps his robots, complaining that they screwed up the sandwich they were supposed to make. 'I TOLD YOU NO PICKLES, YOU DEFECTS! HOW AM I GOING TO ENJOY SONIC'S FINAL MOMENTS EITHOUT THE RIGHT MEAL FOR IT?!'
@@Samuel2oh9 As someone who grew up with Sonic X,yeah I feel you lol It was also my introduction to A LOT of Sonic characters like Cream,Team Chaotix and most importantly Shadow!.Still my fav til this day,gotta love the edgelord hedgehog
Knuckle's first appearance, his *literal first on screen action in sonic 3* was to one-punch the chaos emeralds out of super sonic. People always forget the dude has always been preposterously strong
So the “Gold Sonic” as you called him is actually called Super Sonic in the games when Sonic has collected the 7 chaos emeralds (basically Segas version of the Dragon Balls) Sonic can turn into Super Sonic he becomes practically Invincible, all of his abilities become stronger, but he has a time limit in the games you have to have 50 rings before being able to go Super. The shows and movies don’t really have the info limit to go Super.
I do get why they don't have the 50 ring requirement since a lot of the shows and movies don't feature him in his own world were rings are very common. I wonder if any other forms will be showcased like Hyper Sonic. Hyper Sonic could be such a fun gag where he turns into it for one movie and then everybody just pretends it didn't happen and never existed like in the games canon.
It's entirely possible that they might not refer to it as a 'Super' form in the movies. Robotnik technically achieved a Super form in this movie too, but it was never referred to as such. Also, think about the implications of Robotnik turning Super. Really think about it.
Haha I realized in the first 5 or so minutes that he knew absolutly zilch about Sonic or any lore so I refrained from commenting "This is a reference to that" or anything of the sort lol
Jim's playing Eggman more serious, its weird. If only Jim would go off the walls crazy. Pull out a hair or 3, scream "HedgeHOOOOOOOG!!!!!!" or at the very least wear a fat suit.
24:18 the reason he doesn't use his superspeed at times isn't too difficult to understand, Sonic in this movie tends to save himself the hassle of fatigue from using his powers for long periods of time, something he sorta learned from his long chase with Robotnik from the first movie.
I don’t think he got tired from using his powers in the first movie from the chase scene, it was just that the explosion from the missile knocked him out.
I loved it too! Because he doesn't really have any backstory in the games at all, and his backstory in other sources of media are always inconsistent. This backstory is really good because it gives a good reason for Sonic and Knuckles to be friends. Because they have something in common.
@@RoseCadenza Also Sonic and Tails have something in common too, because they were both more/less outcasts for most of their lives prior to meeting. I'm wondering if they'll bring in more characters and have things like that with them too. Shadow is going to be interesting in that regard. If the movies keep going after the third one, this could also cause things to have a bigger impact if they decide to do certain storylines (unlikely though it is, in the event the movies go past the third one, the chance of them doing the storyline I'm referring to is not zero). I have my reservations about what I'm referring to, but it could be interesting with this kind of setup, especially with Sonic already promising Tails that he won't let anything happen to him, and already seeing cracks in that.
25:15 - This'll be a topic of debate until we see what they have planned, but I have a strong feeling that Longclaw was NOT the one that wiped out the Echidna. There are a few things I can think of in both game and non-game lore that would've been powerful enough to wipe out an entire tribe of individuals that are all as strong as Knuckles. The reason I think this might be the case is that Knuckles says he wasn't there for the fight. So in other words, nobody saw what actually happened, because anyone that would've been there is dead. This kind of thing tends to be a setup for a plot twist.
The coffee shop where Stone was working, the name is a reference to a game. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. Also, when I see the scene of the satelite and the change of clothes from Eggman, there was a missed opportunity of playing E.G.G.M.A.N., which is Eggman's greatest theme song ever.
And speaking of sonic two the scene when he was in the mushroom planet while trying to use Sonic's quill for the explosion thing literally looked like he was PISSIN ON THE MOON
Loved this reaction! It’s pretty agreed upon in the Sonic community that this is the better/more faithful film. They really put heart into this one! So many fun Easter eggs. I can only Hope the third will be even better! (Considering the rumours that they’re basing it on my all time favourite sonic game SA2, I have high hopes.)
I like how SO MANY ELEMENTS in this movie basically plays into another element of the movie, even if it's small. Like how Wade doesn't have a car because Tails stole it, or how Tails's plane is the same plane that was flying the sign for the wedding, OR how they make sure to seed Knuckles's turn to the good side throughout the movie by highlighting that he values loyalty and Robotnik is anything but. The attention to detail is how you know the film makers really care.
To note, Shadow is... not a product of the Emeralds. In the games, he was made by Robotnik's grandfather, Gerald Robotnik, and was designed to be the Ultimate Life Form. He was made in pursuit of seeking a cure to his daughter's I-Can't-Belive-It's-Not-AIDS disease but in the game story... yeah, Gerald was working with the government. It didn't end well. Maria didn't make it out of the lab alive. And Shadow, to put it mildly... wasn't happy about any of this, the last bit especially.
Correction: Shadow IS the product of the Emeralds. Gerald Robotnik created the Chaos Drives and Black Doom's blood in order for Shadow to be fully realized.
23:08 I agree, but other than that Idris Elba NAILED the CHARACTER of Knuckles - The loveable dope who's not that smart but CAN be serious when it matters. And also it is GAME ACCURATE that he became a friend after just one adventure.
I'd say the thing about Knuckles is not that he is not smart... But that he is "fish out of water" and was tricked by Eggman because he doesn't knew any better and was socially inept due to spending most of his life alone - any Sonic series with extended continuty show that eventually he wises up to people trying to trick him and as we get to know him better he also demonstrates incredible archeological knowledge of Ancient civilzations and languages.
Loved this movie so much, went to see this in 4d with my brother and it was a lot of fun. Very happy with what they did here. The next one with shadow… massive hype.
@@SBaby Shadow could flip over a tank with one hand in his game, and Knuckles is stronger than him. So more like Knuckles is busting a mountain if he wanted to
@@gamejitzu He probably could. I was just using that as an example. Shadow's Chaos powers enhance his abilities to insane levels (helped by the fact that he has DNA from an alien god). It's why he's called the Ultimate Lifeform.
What I love about Jim Carrey's Eggman is that he is a perfect blend of Carrey's zaniness while still being intimidating and a serious threat. It's a really nice blend, although I do wish he was a bit more serious, maybe the third movie will complete the arc and he will really become Eggman, with the round body and all.
resident sonic enthusiast here to answer your questions and anything else you might not have known: - the little gems inside the master emerald are called the chaos emeralds, and sonic's gold form he takes when he uses them is called super sonic - shadow was not made by the chaos emeralds (despite his power being linked directly to them). he was created by eggman's grandfather, professor gerald robotnik. - when the chaos emeralds scattered and disappeared, there's likely no way to tell where exactly they went. that's just what they do after they're used, kinda like the dragon balls. - eggman's goofiness level depends on what iteration of sonic you're watching. sometimes he's silly like in this and the Sonic Boom series. but other times, like in the old saturday morning cartoon, he's an absolute cold-hearted menace. and in the games, it's usually a mix of both. - i don't know their ages in the movies, but in the games i think sonic is 15.
@@elpepo0 he's a completely organic being, artificially born by professor gerald in his attempt at researching immortality and finding a way to cure Maria Robotnik (his granddaughter and Eggman's cousin) of an otherwise incurable fatal disease. shadow isn't totally immortal, but he cannot die from old age, and he doesn't catch illnesses.
OMG YES!!!! I can't wait for Sonic 3 (Currently got a US cinematic release date of 20th dec 2024.... not sure how close we'll get here in the UK) But this was AMAZING. They're essentially building a cinematic sonic timeline that takes from existing games, shows and stuff but throws it's own spin on it. The reason no one is mad about it not sticking to the canon is the canon is a mess; there's multiple sonic origin stories and we're actually completely used to new origin stories, spinoffs and entire storylines being retconned. It's the fact that so much care has been put into crafting a story within it's own universe whilest retaining the things about the characters we all know and love. They listen to the fans, heck, they end up actually taking on fans to do work which means there's the fandom representation and respect for the consumer. Though, the whole catfish wedding sub-plot was a bit weak.... I actually enjoyed it so I consider that my guilty pleasure..... that and if you're a really die-hard fan that would have given you the earliest clue about where the movie franchise was going. Basically, they mentioned GUN; if you know, you know. They showed GUN during souped up eggmans construction scene and I swear I couldn't concentrate right because I HAD to know if they were going with the whole Shadow thing. The teaser at the end confirmed it and the person I was with... we were screaming. Even though I'd already clocked it. So many tidbits @.@
Na tho SATAM AND UNDERGROUND WERE CRAZY AND CANT FORGET THAT ONE SONIC 2 WITH THE BAD ENDING WHERE HE SORTA CANONLY KILLED TAILS LIKE THOSE PROVE THAT EGGMAN WAS AN ACTUAL MURDER IN THOSE ERAS AND SCENARIOS
I remember being in the movie theater when Sonic went Super Sonic and me and my friend who are avid fans were trying to contain ourselves because we were screaming lol then the ending credit scene we didn't care anymore we were louder than any of the actual children in the movie theater 😂😂😂
Shadow is my favorite fictional character, so when he showed up in the post credits, I literally lost my voice from how much i was screaming and cheering. Even now, I still can't think of that post credit scene without getting a big stupid grin on my face.
Well there is much to explain without possible spoiling.. First Gold Sonic is Super Sonic, with the 7 chaos emeralds Sonic can activate it couse he has a pure heart (thats why Eggman could not draw out its full power. This form is said by "sonic fans" to have power that rivals Goku in Super Sayian form. Wich was the inspiration of this form. And there is one other character that also can go Super. Parts of this movie and the end fight is inspired by the Sonic X anime series where i first achive this form. Knuckles v.a Elba was a perfect fit for him. The hint of Shadow for movie 3 makes it a big hype. He was always my favorite character. He is in manga and anime described as the Perfect lifeform, created by eggmans grandfather Gerald. Wich means he must have know about Sonics world? I really wonder if they will draw in parts about the space colony Ark, and Maria Robotnik so we get a good character build for Shadow, i dont want him to just be the antagonist in next movie but the anti-hero he is. While sonic 1 was ok, this 2 one was pure fire. the only thing i dont like is the way rings are used more like an uber taxi. While in every other version of sonic rings give a little powerboost but not to the level of Super.
@giannecosmo7141 got their ages wrong. In the first movie, Sonic is 15 during the main events, making him 5 in the childhood flashbacks. Tails is 8 in this movie. Knuckles is *presumably* the same age as Sonic.
G.U.N is an actual from the games it started in Sonic Adventure 2 Also in Sonic 3 & Knuckles Robotnick/Eggman tricked Knuckles into working with him against Sonic
well pretty much most alien or sonic like creature has those rings , in first movie sonic says that every advance culture has these rings to travel between worlds.
Shadow is made by Chaos Energy that = 1 Chaos Emerald he's the final product of project Shadow but before him it had a prototype you'll understand it more if they go with the Sonic Adventure 2 Lore
I just realized… the activate windows disclaimer, and now I wonder if that was always there, so now whenever you do movie reactions I’m gonna be eagle eyed. 😂
Let's put it this way. Shadow is not only Jeff Fowler's favorite character in the entire franchise, but he personally worked on the Shadow the Hedgehog game. I wouldn't be surprised if they went a little darker with this, if for no other reason than the fact that he would want to get his story right (or as close to right as possible, given we're not doing this on Sonic's planet).
Shiiiiii didnt know about Jeff Fowler's history with the series, thanks for the info, i do love me some shadow but man i kinda wish we'd see Chaos or Metal Sonic adapted first, im still holding hope for the former cause the final fight in SA is just begging to be a cinematic climax in a movie @@SBaby
And about the shadow situation, my guess is that they'll maybe age up Maria a bit, so they wouldn't show a literal child get shot and killed by the government soldiers in a kids movie lol@@SBaby
@@CrimsonSkyLine Yeah, I'm not sure how they're going to handle Maria. But if I remember right, she kind of had a 'Disney Death' in the game. They might be able to get away with something like that. I will say this though. If the movies are able to keep going past the third one, then it could be that Sonic 3 is intended to be a transitional point between a PG and PG-13 rating, so we could get a darker portrayal of the events. The reason I say this is because if my theory about what version of Sonic they're adapting in these movies turns out to be generally correct, then things are going to get way darker than even the storylines centered around Shadow were.
I Like How Knuckles Is Very Angry With Me But When Knuckles Realizes Knuckles Just Played With And Laughed At Or Betrayed Me Tails And Of course Knuckles Worked Together Because We Are A Very Great Team We Will Always Protect The Earth, The Family Of The People On Earth And Of course Friends and the Universe And I Can't Wait When Shadow Will Come Soon Or Project Shadow This Makes Me Believe Eggman Will Meet Shadow Just Like In The Anime Sonic Rumor Says SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3 Will Present New Characters Not Only Shadow But Amy And Maybe Cream We Really Hope Amy Comes To My Heart :) And in addition, fans have made art Poster from SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3 and there is Rouge. Maybe or not Rouge will be present in SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3 because if Shadow appears Rouge will also appear ^^
@@just_sonic I know what Chaos Control looks like. Not everything is gonna look 1:1 like the games. Besides, the games haven't been consistent with how it looks either
It seems interesting to state that Sonic is like Goku from Dragon Ball as he went Super mode and being a OP character you don’t want to mess with 😅 so the third movie might bring some craziness with Shadow being like Vegeta. So I hope next year the perfect year for the third movie and bring some hype
Shadow's more like Piccolo than Vegeta. He's not really an edgy character, as much as he's more of a dark knight kind of character (at least when he's being written properly).
YOO I JUST REALIZED WHEN KNUCKLES SHOWED UP AND SAID “where’d did you get that” THEN EGGMAN SAID “I’d be happy to show you the way” THAT WAS A HINT TO THE “Do you da vay” KNUCKLES MEME
So Idk if anyone's explained this to him yet but if not then I will. Some of the lore shown in the movie isnt all exactly close to the actual lore in the game story. Sonic and Knuckles use to be enemies because knuckles was tricked by eggman thinking that he and tails was coming to steal the master emerald. Knuckles is the sole guardian of the master emerald.
It's similar, but they kind of Sonic X'd it up a bit since alot of the things that would've just been on Sonic's planet are now on Earth, such as GUN, the characters coming from their world to Earth, and of course, Project Shadow (and Ella-I mean Rachel). I actually wouldn't be surprised if the movies as a whole just turned out to be more/less a loose adaptation of Sonic X. From a behind-the-scenes standpoint, it would make sense for filming and probably be far easier on the budget since they'd be able to keep it on Earth.
@@NuniPikachu Knuckles is always tricked by Eggman. Just be glad this isn't Sonic X, where the government was also tricked by Eggman. Wait... They were tricked by Eggman in the movies. Was the government tricked by Eggman in the games? Maybe that's just another thing that happens across all continuities.
@@SBaby bro Eggman just somehow as a human genius is able to do the best most out of pocket shit and i love it. but he still isn't all crazy so he actually helps sonic sometimes when they're truly screwed. basically, i enjoy that he isn't frieza levels of evil.
the rings disappear, that is why sonic has a bag full of rings, and in the first movie you see, when the bag of rings goes thru the portal they ring used for that portal disappears
You asked a lot of questions about how different parts of the movie (Eggman, Sonic, the emeralds) are represented in the games. If you want a brief taster of that in a form you could react to, I would recommend you watch the Sonic Unleashed Opening Cutscene. Unleashed is a polarizing game, but most fans agree that this cutscene is ELITE
knuckles isnt fast, hes just insanely strong/powerful and sonic attaced him head on so its easy for him to counter. if sonic used speed shenanigans knuckles wouldnt be able to keep up
At the volleyball scene the guy with the yellow shirt was Preston, a RU-vidr with 20 million subscribers on his channel which is a shocking cause I just realised he was in sonic 2
When the part when sonic’s friend it’s kinda like his dad when he was playing with the other dudes but when they were lined up if you look Preston was in the lineup🫨
As for Shadow, he has 2 origins depending on the media you're following. One is that a doctor from GUN made him to use as parts to save his daughter who was dying. She died and he got amnesia and believed he must get the Chaos Gem to revive the girl. The other is he was a clone created by Dr Robotnik (who was Eggmans father - Sonic X) to kill Sonic and co. Looks like they are going with the former.
46:48 it cracked because that was the master emerald when it runs out of power it turns into seven emeralds if they come together it forms the master emerald so when sonic gets all 7 he turns in to super sonic/gold sonic but if it’s just the master emerald, I think something else happens
The golden yellow Sonic is Super Sonic,once he gets all the 7 emeralds he can go Super,after Sonic is done fighting Eggman or whatever villain shows up,the emeralds scatter, Sonic can always try to find the emeralds again and go Super if he needs to fight another villain again,Super Sonic is cool
did u saw stone? and a youtuber in the movie and are u ready for sonic 3! but is there going to be a sonic 4 we will see in 2026 man that will be werid love you reaction and hope u saw the knuckles show ps its the wade show 👇
Bro guys when knuckles said whee did you get that robotnik said id be happy to show you the way wich that is original a knuckles meme yall know what i mean
