'Sonic' Voice Actor Jason Griffith Reacts to Keanu Reeves' Casting 

Yep

Former voice actor

@@TKnHappyNessthe best

Reeves is a trash shadow. Jason is top tier!

Bring back Jason 😂

Agreed 💯

Besides voicing shadow

Keanu takes away struggling actors to make it big and respected.

Jason is so much more rich and better than Keanu. Keanu sucks! Omg his voice is too overused. Jason is iconic!

@@Aequalis-r6h Keanu slander will not be tolerated

I wish I was.

I was in art class with someone named A. Dolf.

@@xavierhouston4650Nice one

I hate The type of people that have your audacity to brag about being in a class with somebody like this. this is not true and you have no proof so just stop being a narcissist please.

@@colesworld2565 he wasn’t bragging, he was just sharing his experience with Jason. Nothing narcissistic about it

Yes way. >:)

@@MaverickMagnus No Way😆😅😂🤣

We are definitely in a crazy timeline

"Way." *Jumps into big hole.*

No "damn" way(I miss that word "damn")

Roger 🤨

Really wish Sean Schemmel show the other Goku voice Actors the same love Jason Griffith does for other Sonic and Shadow vas.

Of course he respect actors that he being replaced, he used to be disappointed he was being replaced by Roger. But now he cool with it just like Ryan Drummond. Roger not too sure about him I can’t say he my favorite than I was with Ryan Drummond and Jason Griffith

@@Theterminato2013 same, Sean is infamous for disliking past Goku VAs. He got angry when they wanted to get Peter Kelamis for Goku Black. It doesn't surprise me that he was one of the few Goku VAs that didn't make a post honoring the late Kirby Morrow

@@peepsg please don't start on the Roger hate. I've seen you in previous comment sections talking shit about Roger. Jason had the opportunity to re-audition for Sonic and Shadow but chose not to. He probably wanted to focus on his family. Mike Pollock had to re-audition for Eggman. Also, Ryan is cool with Roger. He was one of the first to congratulate Roger for coming back to voice Sonic when he left the role back in 2021 It's funny how the VAs can get along, but the fans of said VAs can't do the same Ryan is my least favorite voice for Sonic because I never grew up with his games, I grew up with Jason and Roger, but that doesn't mean I should dislike Ryan Drummond, he seems like a cool and chill guy, I just wish his fans were the same

Round of applause for this man!

When you know Keanu's past and how he is in real life, I think Jason couldn't have said it better.

Ryan Drummond should declare that to Ben Schwartz as well.

Sucks

Jason is the best and always will be! Kirk and Keanu are gross and suck at being shadow I can’t feel anything when watching shadow speak. It’s gross.

Same here turned 27 2 days ago & Jason & Ryan are the best sonic VAs Roger is the worst

@@walklytekel5713 Roger is my least favorite, but he's not "the worst", and remember, actors are people too, they could be reading this and your words would hurt. Keep that in mind.

@@innocentzbat criticism & scrutiny comes with the territory

10 years younger than you. You're still right. Roger's weird American version of Ezio Auditore has nothing on Jason's performance.

Boi please I’m the same age and damn sure know Ryan and David kicked his ass so hard

David would be good. I wanted Keanu purely because he's the closest big celebrity voice to David.

Nah we don't care about Kirk lol

​@@TimTacTV Who is "we"?

​@@TimTacTVThat's a little harsh...

@@ALegendaryBlueHedgethe sonic community

He also jet's and shadow's voice

@@ultimatehedghogshadow926 yep! He’s the best one for them, too! Personally, the old jet voice is better than the new, it’s funnier and sounds less generic to me, no disrespect to the new.

​@@alexanderjackson9239 New ? The last time we heard Jet was 14 years ago lol

@@thespider-boy9497 I meant latest lol

Indeed man 👍🔥

Same

Yes and always with be mine too and is why I find it unfair I’m sorry

​@@Joliedesuunot really if the voice actor is really happy about it

@@tylerprime9555 well if Jason “really” is happy about it that means he probably wouldn’t want to be shadow so I doubt that’s the case

@@Joliedesuu I mean the video shows him saying he hoped it was Keanu voicing him and is happy it happened, so idk what to tell ya.

Straight up

You’re too slow

I remember when they were talking all about Sonic's ugly design when it came out

Yessir

@@tjz3158 C’MON STEP IT UP

To me that doesn’t mean he would be “bitter”

@@Joliedesuu exactly.

Why would he be angry? He's not a voice actor in the Sonic franchise anymore, so why would he be mad about not being chosen in a movie?

Jason 🥹

True but why isn't David Humphrey anywhere? Jason is the GOAT but David Humphrey is the OG.

💯💯

And Sonic too. The fact that both voices were so distinctive despite being the same actor is perfect, as they really are mirrors of each other.

I dont like shadows boom voice at all

​@faust5727 he been voicing shadow for awhile now

@@faust5727 it wasn't that bad.

@@9773an Yes thats why I pointed it out

Gerald did mess with his mind tbf

@@Aktedya1-jt7vw That’s not an excuse for genocide though.

You may be right about that but I think if Vegeta from DBZ can redeem himself then so can Shadow in my opinion.

@@AnthonyOlivo-t2z I’m not familiar with dragonball z’s story, but I just wonder where this idea came from that you can do good to outweigh the bad you’ve done. Try that in court. “Judge, I’m a good person, I have changed!” “Ok but you were still found guilty of murdering three children with a machete.” You think the judge would let a guilty person free because he is sorry? People seem to think God will do this because they are “good people”. Are they? Are you? How many lies have you told in your life? Have you ever stolen something, even if it’s small? Have you ever used God’s name in vain? Jesus said whoever looks at a woman and lusts for her commits adultery with her in his heart. Have you ever looked with lust? If you have done any of these things or committed any other sin, you are in danger of going to hell forever. That’s eternal pain and suffering without end. No amount of good you can do can redeem yourself. The wages of sin is death. That’s the bad news but here is the good news. The Ten Commandments are called the moral law, you and I broke that law, Jesus paid the fine. He lived a perfect life, died, rose again and was seen by hundreds of people, then ascended into heaven. If you had court fines and someone else paid them, you’re off the hook! And God promises to let you avoid hell and have eternal life and joy with Him after death not because of any work you have done, but because of the work Jesus did on the cross. It’s why He said “it is finished” before He died. Paid in full. If you’ll put your trust in Jesus to save you, and repent of your sins, you will be saved! Repentance is also crucial. Do you think God would save you if you say “I can kill whoever I want cuz Jesus died for my sins!”? Of course not. So confess your sins to the Lord and repent, then put your faith in Jesus to save you. He is the Son of God, fully God and fully man. Only His work can save you. Sin has to be paid for, who is paying for yours? Either Jesus already paid, or you will forever in hell. Your choice.

My thoughts exactly, I adore Jason, but I was not in agreement with fans who wanted him for the movie, the movies aren’t the games, I want to see them do their own things with these characters and give other actors the opportunity to give their take on these legacy characters instead of retreading old ground for the sake of pleading nostalgia blinded fans. Jason clearly still loves these characters and that’s great, but he’s been in this business a long time and understands the importance of passing the torch onto other actors letting them be able to experience voicing these characters as he once did.

Very well said! I’ll be honest, I wasn’t really expecting him to reprise his role as the black blur. Don’t get me wrong, I love Jason Griffith and I would’ve love it had he reprised his role, but what we know now is 10x better! I actually thought that Hayden Christensen would’ve been Shadow with the rumors that came out, lol. I honestly think he would’ve nailed it had he voiced Shadow. Either way, I’m super happy that Keanu is voicing the ultimate lifeform!

@@SomethingNowhereMan Me too 🦔🖤❤️

Exactly and a very good one 💯

Who would of thought a goalie side character in Young blood from the 80's would become one of the most beloved actors ever.i would go to every length to meet him too ,How did you manage to meet him?

I saw a Reeves interview on E-news about his interactions with fans. Intrigued, I researched and joined the exclusive fan club by Radiant Reservation. Members have a chance to meet Reeves at the end of each month.

@@AqueleQueChamamdeSonicCinza I know that

He is the ultimate breathtake

He also voiced Sonic and Shadow in the video games from 2005-2010

@@marcus5528 OK! Thanks so very much Marcus 😊❣️

okay I believe you
