"The publication of a Hollywood trade magazine has apparently revealed plot details for the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie. The sequel isn’t due to release in theaters until December 2024, but it sounds like we already may have an idea of what might happen and who may be involved."
>“With Sonic, Tails and Knuckles having defeated Robotnik and his Badniks, Green Hills was saved! But it wasn’t over yet!
>The team will have to face what Robotnik’s grandfather has created – the Shadow Project.
>When the Chaos Emeralds was destroyed [in Sonic 2], Robotnik obtains the mini-Emeralds and creates his own metallic version of Sonic, which will be used to get his sinister revenge on the blue blur!
>Together with Shadow, [Robotnik] will try to defeat [Sonic] once and for all.
Through a dimensional portal, various characters – Amy and Big – show up to help [Sonic].
Can the team defeat Robotnik before the world comes to an end?”
i only care whatever jim carrey is in or not
Why did they skip SA1?
SA2 has a better plot and introduced more popular characters and the whole "ancient echidna civilization" bullshit from SA1 was covered in the last movie.
To be fair, SA1 has a lot more going on and ends with a confrontation against a physical god. There’s no reason they can’t do SA1 after SA2 and having Shadow and Rouge present for the events could mix things up in an interesting way.
Id say it comes down to sa2 having a story that’s easier to convert into a film. sa2 is also the most popular of the two.
they are 100% joining forces to fight chaos metal sonic at the end
Nobody cares about Adventure 1.
I care 🙂
I can buy the first game right now on PSN for 3 bucks but is it fun?
Still better than 2
Chaos is too expensive to render for Hollywood standards.
Because in the end, SA1's story isn't very personal compared to SA2. The only story that would be good for film in SA1 is the robot's story about rebelling against eggman. They could work that in some way.
Because its shit, have you played that trash?
>multi-dimensional shit
Are you stupid or have you not seen the movies? That's just describing the portal rings that got Sonic to earth.
What doesn't have multiple dimensions these days? Creators are brain dead these days.
why doesn't sonic have one gigantic eye in the movies?
because it's grotesque
He never did zoomcuck
That's from the future Kirby devours Sonic from inside.
>Robotnik obtains the mini-Emeralds and creates his own metallic version of Sonic, which will be used to get his sinister revenge on the blue blur!
YEEEEEESSSS PLEASE BE TRUE
>Amy, Big, Metal, AND Shadow
Good god. Is there anyone else they could introduce at the same time?
Also Movie Big is going to be a treat and a half.
Big has a risk of being either a beloved fan favorite or being absolutely despised. I can see him being really unfunny and annoying in a movie.
He will be a self-aware meme dispenser, like he has been since SA1.
Big is absolutely not self aware in SA1. Nothing in SA1 is self aware. The entire game is played as straight as an arrow, that's why it's so meme-worthy. I know we're in the post-ironic phase with Sonic, but like...come on.
I said SINCE. ie, referring to the easter eggs in 2. Similar to how George Lucas jokingly called episode 2 Jar Jar's Great Adventure in the first screenplay draft because fans didn't like him and thought it was funny.
I hope they expand on him and have him be more than the duh fwoggy guy. Would be cool if he ends up being useful in his own way
No Rooj za Batto? Shadow should have a friend like the Sonic-Tails dynamic.
They better play Live and Learn
I told you morons that the 3 in Sonic 3 meant it’ll be Sonic VS Shadow VS Metal Sonic
I'm fearing they'll try to do too many things at the same time and in the end it'll all end up in half-assed fan-service shit...
Oh gosh, I hope that isn’t fricking legit. They are stuffing way too many fricking characters into this if that’s true. I was hoping for a more focused narrative that would give Sonic and Tails more intimate character interactions without having to make room for a bunch of other useless new characters (I already felt Knuckles kind of crowded Tails out of Sonic 2).
>Oh gosh, I hope that isn’t fricking legit. They are stuffing way too many fricking characters into this if that’s true.
The whole 'omgg too many characters, movies gonna suck!!1' meme comes from Spider-Man 3, and most zoomers don't even understand why that critique is levied towards that film in the first place. The problem with SM3 is that they tried to commit to too many positive character arcs and plot-lines, leaving none of them to be properly fleshed out overall. nu-capeshit movies have like twice the amount of characters than SM3, but they don't suffer because most of those characters aren't granted any narrative weight or character arcs like the former. Characters like Amy or Rouge don't need a character arc; they can work perfectly as flat characters that catalyse change in other characters, exactly how they are in the games themselves.
>(I already felt Knuckles kind of crowded Tails out of Sonic 2).
Eh, I don't think so. Tails honestly just needed more backstory - a flashback, or something - because the entire reason he came to Green Hills in the first place was delivered to the audience through contrived exposition, when it easily could've been shown with like 5 more minutes of extra screen time. The emotional pay-off when Tails and Sonic finally have their heart-to-heart together would've been so much better if they actually showed Tails admiring Sonic from afar and how shitty his life used to be before he met him.
Sonic and tails should have had their own movie but they wanted to add knuckles asap
Tails wouldn’t have been able to carry a movie on his own
Anon, that comment was litterally copy pasted from the one in the article.
>The problem with SM3 is that they tried to commit to too many positive character arcs and plot-lines, leaving none of them to be properly fleshed out overall.
Ah, so exactly like the Sonic cast of modern era post SA2? That's the problem and have been a canon probpel to game Sonic. How do you expect them to fix this shit in the movies if they already are trying to force in 4+ characters at once? They already said they plan to make a fricking MCU out of this, why do you need all the shitty friends of Sonic present this early?
>Characters like Amy or Rouge don't need a character arc; they can work perfectly as flat characters that catalyse change in other characters, exactly how they are in the games themselves.
That's EXACTLY the fricking problem IN the games because SA1/2 gave them MORE than flat roles you pieve of shit. They only become trash AFTER that and SHOULDN"T be undermined unlkess you want a complete repeat of Sonic 06+ era Sonic.
Go have a nice day, now, along with your family. The entire IP has the chance to be fix thanks to the movies making better takes on the games shitty stories, and wanting them to completely frick up just to repeat what the games did is as self sabotaging as SEGA themselves.
I’m not watching it unless it’s confirmed that shadow dies at the end.
>amy
>big
WHAT HOLY SHIT
Jesuschrist nobody likes Big the Cat, dont throw so many characters at the same time, morons
I hope they don't do Metal Sonic's dragon form. Seriously, that idea is too silly, Sonic has never been a dragon, it ruins the whole point.
>When the Chaos Emeralds were destroyed
Wasn't it just the Master Emerald in Sonic 2?
yeah the master emerald breaks revealing the tiny ones inside of it
then sonic goes super sayian and makes a wish for a chilly dog and the dragon balls... i mean the chaos emeralds scather around the globe
>No Biolizard
>Barely any Gerald
>No ARK
WHATS THE POINT!
WHATS THE POOOOIIIIIIIIINT!
>No ARK
>Barely any Gerald
>>"The team will have to face what Robotnik’s grandfather has created – the Shadow Project."
Seems it's implied here, but it could only be touched on than expounded. They did shoehorn Carey-Robotnik's character in the first movie after all being tied with the US Dept. of Defense and Pentagon.
How do you have Shadow without the BIOLIZARD
>Yeah my grandfather just made something that happens to look like sonic lol what are the odds!
WHAT ABOUT THE MURAL
THE PROPHECY
maybe thats the plan, have it as a surprise in the movie for the sonicgays
>How do you have Shadow without the BIOLIZARD
biolizard can be EASILY be replaced by chaos
just have the true form of chaos the true form of the perfect life form, and that would explain that he used chaos energy to create shadow and would explain sonic powers
3 bunnies with one dick
>WHAT ABOUT THE MURAL
>THE PROPHECY
Not canon
I'm tired of secondaries acting like they know anything about Sonic
I dont give a shit I just want the Biolizard
Why
Because the Biolizard and the ARK is awesome and I want Supporting Me in the movie
>I want Supporting Me in the movie
This will definitely not happen. Sorry anon.
>First movie introduces sonic, with post credit scene introducing Tails
>second move introduces tails and knuckles with with post credit scene adds shadow.
>Third movie comes in, it adds metal, shadow, amy and big, and the next thing they are going to introduce in post crediti is probably gamma
>Next movie adds stix, silver and blaze but it never finished because it gets cancelled.
since they changed knuckles into a weird tribalistic moron who values honor...
what are they gonna do to amy and big?
Amy will be lesbian and Big a stoner
>weird tribalistic moron who values honor...
That's canon Knuckles in S3K. He's also not a moron, he's isolated from societal norms.
Modern/Boom knuckles is mentally ill on purpose because SEGA thinks meatheads are likable.
>shadow AND metal
Sonichads, we’re eating good…
Anon...
Shadow VERSUS Metal
Can't wait for Shadow and Metal to brawl so hard they land in a different Sonic movie.
Just like old times.
>December 2024
This is going to be a frickin' 3 hour movie, isn't it? All of SA2 and CD is going to be crammed in.
Why should I take this at face value? Especially with the release so far away?
Shadow will be voiced by Idris Elba
BigChads won.
rouge the bat is black coded just like knuckles, vanilia and cream are latina, amy is japanese
Cast him.
Jim with his hair dyed Grey.
John Noble
Frick that'd actually be great
slap a mustache on him
Brian Cranston
just add mustache and you are gold
I’m waiting!
>Big
Fake.
I hope it's real
>no biolizard
>no Jim Carrey
>Big
bullshit
anyone else not really crazy about these
The jokes and writing feel really teen titans go-ey. I would want to say that the style of humor is aimed at kids, but I took my nephew to see the second one and they didn't find it super funny either. Everything just feels so ok about them
Its cool that theyre kind of accurately portraying the characters, but they dont yield any emotional response from me, maybe Im just dead inside or something
I don't care about the humor nor do I care about the story, I only like this movie because of Sonic, Tails and co.
Ughh no thanks. Remove metal and put him in a sequel film else this narrative will be way too crowded.
>metal is in
frick yes, i just hope the ARK plotline isn't neglected
I just want to see the Eclipse Cannon on the big screen. Just have Robotnik piss on the moon and the money will be well spent.
It's going to be so bloated...
In Spider-Man 3's case, Venom was added mid-production IIRC, and that made it more of a clusterfrick. Hopefully they can tell a story this time. And if they don't waste time on human antics like a fricking human wedding, they'll have much more time to work with.
It's always surprising to me that Venom was the part added late because the Sand Man shit felt significantly more out of place than Venom.
Yeah that was weird that he’s actually the one that killed uncle Ben.
There's not a chance that they are going to use both Metal AND Shadow in the film. Give it up Metalgays, you lost.
I don't think it's impossible they do both. Shadow isn't going to be the final bad guy of the movie, so there has to be a secondary antagonist for them to team up against. If they don't use Biolizard then Metal just makes sense.
>But why wouldn't they use Biolizard!
Because the movies have never been adaptations of the games. If they aren't positive they'll be doing a Sonic 4 or 5 then it isn't impossible that they just put Metal and Shadow in to cover both bases at once.
Please use more music from the games.
And don’t end the movie with another hip hop song.
But then they couldn't launder money to their contacts in the music industry.
Who should play maria
I would like Elle fanning or whatever her name is.
This confuses me, Robotnik was shown to have never known Sonic before, doesn't this conflict with Robotnik's grandfather creating Shadow?
Jimbotnik is an orphan, he wouldn't know anything about Gerald's work on Shadow.
No I mean Sonic never visited earth as shown in the first movie, wasn't Shadow created by Robotniks grandfather using sonic as an inspiration?
They'll probably make something up, maybe lift the S3/SA1 murals theory and say Gerald poked around in some other ruins while looking for the Master Emerald.
At first, I read that as "leaked porno synopsis". I was excited, but now I'm not.
Knuckles get cowboy hat
>>When the Chaos Emeralds was destroyed [in Sonic 2], Robotnik obtains the mini-Emeralds
The frick is this trash? Do they mean "after the Master Emerald shattered and freed the chaos emeralds, Eggman got a hold of them and makes metal Soinc with them?"
Because otherwise this already sounds faked or poorly translated, also, slapping SA1 shit like Amy and Big in it for zero reason is cancer and is just spiting on SA1gays.
>Shadow
>AND Metal
>AND Robotnik
>AND Gerald
I'm getting bad Spider-Man 3 vibes here of them trying to push everything in at once
>this could be in canon in the movies
Kino. I'd also love for a Sonic Battle like beat em' up.
A Sonic beat-em-up would be the shit. I would buy that in an instant.
inb4 someone brings up love potion disaster or whatever the frick it's called. No that absolutely does not count.
Make pic rel the Bepop & Rocksteady replacements and i'm sold
>Zones could be Green Hill (because of course), Hidden Palace, Collision Chaos, Lava Reef, Secret Base, Music Plant, Cyber Track, Studiopolis and then some new Eggman themed world
>Bosses would Bean and Bark, Fang, a mind controlled Shadow, Metal Sonic and Eggman at various stages
>everyone gets a super form for the final, final fight
>Zones could be Green Hill (because of course)
Please, just give us Emerald Hill or Turquois Hill or Sunset Hill... ANY other variation of Hill. Remember that? When Sonic was allowed to not have "Green Hill?"
Any news on that Knuckles TV show? could be pure treasure hunter kino if done right with the right characters
If that's true I can kinda see why do that, Carrey isn't sticking for the role forever, so might as well get all the major faces out already.
