The Sonic Movie Universe Is Losing Focus 

It's strange how, nowadays, the games are so allergic to humans while the movies are hooked on them. 😅

I agree with almost Everything you said. I was expecting a Rouge or Amy cameo at the end, or something happening to the master emerald but nope. Just Wade with daddy issues. To be Completely honest with you bro, I would just give up and save yourself the hurt and exhaustion when it comes to this 3rd movie. I don’t think we’re going to get what we want. Judging by how they saw everyone react to Sonic’s design years ago and changed him accordingly, Jeff atleast seems to somewhat care about what we want, but it’s become more apparent that his main goal is to make the 5 year olds laugh and that’s ok. This movie isn’t for us; it’s for the children, with easter eggs sprinkled in to get us older fans to smile at every now and again. Shadow will have his edgy moments and Maria might get hurt [or shot and killed on the ARK like she should], but that’s about it. It’s sad but, we had our time bro, now it’s time the kids had theirs. All Good things must come to an end

I completely agree with everything you said in this video and thanks for not taking this video down because it gave a voice for what I feel about the so-called 'Sonic Cinematic Universe' without me making a video about it myself. Paramount/Hollywood fundamentally doesn't understand the Sonic franchise or worse, doesn't have very much confidence in the Sonic franchise. I haven't watched the Knuckles show yet and, to be honest, I don't want to despite being almost as much of a fan of Knuckles as I am of Sonic himself. The greatest flaw of the live-action Sonic films is that they're not Sonic films, they're films that just have Sonic in them. And I have nothing against the good cops of this world (because I know that good cops exist), but Sonic being best friends with a cop doesn't sit right with me because I've always thought of Sonic as a naturally rebellious (yet also righteous) type of person, the type of person who thinks that the only real authority is freedom or truth or whatever. I'm rambling now. I don't know man, Movie Sonic just doesn't seem to be authentically 'Sonic' in my opinion. Keanu Reeves being cast as Shadow gave me hope for Sonic 3 because he was the ONLY person I ever wanted to be cast as Shadow in Sonic 3, but the things I've been hearing about the Knuckles show have now made me go back to thinking that Sonic 3 will just be a Marvelised cringefest.

I do hope that characters like G.U.N. Commander, Maria & Gerald Robotnik, The President, Princess Elise, Professor Pickle, Topaz, Chris Thorndyke, Hell, even Merlina, would be nice to see in the games again.

Unfortunately for me I'm a part of the few that enjoy the movie universe. I couldn't tell you why an any objective way, it kind of just is what it is. That being said, I agree with the sentiment that if these movies and tv shows are going to continue, then they need to focus more on the Sonic cast. It's non-negotiable. Preferably I would like both sides to be happy, so maybe we could get animated films that line up closer to the games to go along with the live action films.

You’ve spoken nothing but true facts this entire video lol. I completely agree and honestly Sega should really have more humans appear in the main game universe again so things feel a lot more alive in Sonic’s world. The commander better appear in X shadow generations and mephiles hopefully )

I haven't watched this show nor movie 2 (live action Sonic isn't for me) but from the snippets I've seen from this show, it's making me miss Elise lmao

All the Sonic universe needs is Zach Hadel making a random cameo as a Shrew Mobian.

I think there are many forces at play here. They already know you like Sonic. They know your greasy ass will buy the next game or the next movie ticket. They need your girlfriend, who knows nothing about Sonic to be into it. So she can see that it's a town, just like towns she knows. She needs to see a woman doing yoga. She needs to hear krispy kreme and she needs to see a fidget spinner so she can see oh this is just like real life. And then she needs to see Sonic be introduced from the ground up. That's what movie 1 was about. If you'll notice they gradually started introducing more and more juicy lore in Movie 2, and they are going to go absolute ham in movie 3. You cannot just make a casual story about Shadow the Hedgheog, his story is specific, it is tragic, and it is intense. I have no excuse for the Knuckles show though, that looks like it was another SEGA lie for cash, like Sonic Forces. As "artistic" as one might want it to seem, it barely had Knuckles for budget reasons, and quite honestly, it shouldn't exist. At the very least we now have a whole 40 mins of Knuckles the Echidna learning about jewish traditions, which is just bizarre and hilarious.

I don’t have Paramount Plus. I’ve seen the trailer (and also I know the first episode is on yt, just haven’t checked it yet). This basically always happens. If you enjoy the show, you probably have your reasons and are valid in those reasons. If you don’t like the show, your opinion is also valid. At the end of the day I don’t care that much about the shows. The knuckles show does look like fun, considering I sometimes enjoyed the humans in the first movie (a lot less in the second tho). At the end of the day the thing is that this might be called a knuckles show, but it’s not really a “knuckles” show. This show is not what people expect when you think of a knuckles show and so some disappointment is expected. I’ll probably like it if and when I watch it tho. Awesome vid as always 👍

YES sir w vídeo Nice job 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Based take, you make me feel sane! This show/movies are not made for fans, by fans. I’ve been a fan for most of my life now, so this itches the skin a bit.

yeah it is. imo one dud movieverse project does not doom an entire series. otherwise the sonic games would have been cooked decades ago

bros shitting on the SCU over one show, it was good, Knuckles was teaching wade how to be a warrior, thats why it was wade more than knuckles, and its gonna be hard making the places sonic goes to in the games, in real life, like chemical plant, and CGI is really expensive

bros going crazy over a literal show, it was one mistake, they can fix it

They were given the chance to give Knuckles a cool tv show, and they make it lame.

And I can handle your opinion I actually like the show

The Sonic movies having original human characters isn’t a bad thing at all, especially since most humans in Sonic aren’t really that interesting or charming in the first place. There’s a very little amount of human characters in Sonic that I enjoyed, until the movies came out. Tom Wachowski is a much better human character than someone like Chris Thorndyke. Same with Agent Stone as a companion for Robotnik compared to Orbot and Cubot. I was fine with how they handled the humans in the movies for the most part, and I disagree with your argument that they’re more important than Sonic, but what they did with the Knuckles show was everything that could’ve gone wrong with the movies, not including them keeping the Ugly Sonic design. Do we really want the Sonic movies to be exactly like the games that fans constantly complain about? I feel way more passion and effort with the movies than almost every Sonic game in the 2010s.

You guys cry over the human characters in the sonic movie franchise. yet you guys forget about humans used to be a sonic games and they play major roles too Sonic unleash is the biggest example of this

This is just kinda how it is with Hollywood adaptations of cartoons and games and such, especially when it's live action. Cash in on the IP, fart out movies that take the aesthetic, and rewrite it to more of the Hollywood general audience formulas, or TV formulas, and that's what the characters get based in, moreso than the source material. And then, of course, because it would cost actual money to follow the main non-human characters the whole movie, they just fill the screen time with dumb humans doing dumb human bullcrap.
