I rewrote Sonic 3.

- What's up guys? While there were a lot of things I loved while watching (and then rewatching) the newly released Sonic 3, I couldn't help but wonder how it would've looked with a couple tweaks here and there and maybe an overhauled scene or two. So I tried my best to do just that! Congratulations to everyone involved in the actual Sonic 3, despite the premise of this video I genuinely have few complaints and feel it was a solid film. Hope you guys enjoy the video and God bless!

I would’ve added more to Shadow’s backstory by incorporating Maria’s illness. This sickness doesn’t prevent her from living on Earth, but it is a deadly disease that will claim her life much sooner than others. Gerald realizes that Shadow’s power could be used to cure human diseases and potentially extend the human lifespan. He wants to use this power to save his granddaughter.
However, Shadow's abilities are not stable enough for that purpose. Eventually, Gerald creates the Inhibitor Rings to stabilize Shadow’s power, enabling him to use his power safely. To ensure it’s safe for Maria, Gerald tests it on himself and finds that it works. G.U.N. is not pleased with what Gerald has done, and orders Shadow to be taken away (and we all know what happens next).
The reason I introduced Maria’s sickness is that it adds more tragedy to Shadow's character, as he was originally created in the games to cure Maria. Additionally, having Gerald use this power on himself helps explain why he is 110 years old in the movie, as they do not clarify how that is possible (people who get to live that long usually aren't able to walk anymore).
I also explain the origin of the Inhibitor Rings because general audiences would miss the significance of Shadow taking them off at the end without context.
Why weren’t you a writer in the movie
THIS😭😭😭
That’s… actually a really good thing to add to the origin with those three! Wishful thinking that they could include that into the Shadow miniseries they’re currently filming!
I was actually pretty disappointed that they didn’t reference the GUN truck so thank you for this.
Rockwell being an antagonist to Team Sonic was something I knew that the movie was missing as I felt that the Death of Walters was a bit too fast in my opinion, but I'm glad you kept him alive.
I think that’s the thing, there are different types of video game movies. The Mario Movie is great as a video game movie, but not much else. The sonic movies are great video game adaptations, but less in the form of being a “video game movie” (the third one does much better though). It needs to be a mix, like how Raimi’s Spiderman is. A movie that comic fans can watch and get a lot out of, but also non comic fans can watch it and get a lot out of it. And the Sonic movies have only been doing that better and better over time. So it makes sense why people are calling the third the best video game movie, or at least one of the best.
I loved all of this, but I I would do it like this:
-I would keep Walters' death, because I think it gives the film the necessary seriousness & risks it needs.
-It would make the super sonic vs super shadow fight relatively longer
-I would have Gerald give his SA2 speech just before activating the cannon for the entire land to hear (he would have a loudspeaker that could be heard by the entire earth...I don't know, movie stuff)
I would’ve loved a sonic 2 reference where sonic flies back to earth in super sonic form after defeating the lazer. (I know in Sonic 2 it’s a death egg but still).
Right? That would’ve looked so cool. But I feel like Sonic passing out is the perfect emotional ending for him, as well as sets up Shadow’s “death” and gets Tails and Knuckles out of the Eclipse Cannon. Props to the writers because that was all them.
@@lemoncakestudios3031 wait it is a Sonic 2 reference I just realized the bad ending where tails saves Sonic
Expecting this to be just sa2 the movie but this was actually good
Why would this actually be better than the movie we got
This was amazing. I agree with the points you made before even starting your main video. Loved the movie, but It did miss some of its potential. I love the changes you made, from the smaller ones, to the bigger ones like City Escape and the Super Team up. Great work
6:45 BECAUSE THEIR SONIC HEROES!
I like your version, but I do prefer the original.
I love how Rockwell has more to do, Escape from the City is in here, all while most parts of the movie are still there. Probably would've used that extra 20 minutes that the movie needed to go full circle.
But maybe, just maybe, Rockwell will get a somewhat bigger role in the 4th movie when it eventually comes out, since in the Sonic 3 we got her character started and ended so abruptly.
i invented an extended cut that has the sonic 2 post credits
I would’ve made the first 10 minutes longer. It just feels rushed. More shadow escaping. More Sonic celebrating. And more team Sonic fighting shadow.
Sonic should’ve gotten the soap shoes for happy earth day
Idk if this could be considered rewriting, it feels like just adding more, but looking at it like that, this is pretty good. If you wanna keep doing this, try making the Mario Movie more of a movie
I really wish Sonic and Knuckles fought.
That would have shown us that Knuckles would try to protect both Sonic and the Master Emerald from each other even if he had to make the hard decision. Him knowing that Sonic is in an emotinally/metally unstable place still giving him the Emerald feels such a cop out.
They wanted a scene where Knuckles' role as a guardian conflicted with him being a brother to Sonic. And in the movie he failed as both. T_T He gave up his sacred duty AND gave the most powerful weapon in the universe to his unstable/angry grieving brother. He failed Sonic, and his duty both.T_T
I feel like knuckles had known him long enough for him to think sonic would come around. I think it was just faith.
@@toyingmadness9731 They have known each other for a few months, a year max. There is no way Knuckles knows him enough after a few moths to gamble the fate of the universe on him.
I like this movie, but I don't like this scene, and I think the writers kind of shafted Knuckles.
@pepita2437 your clearly just looking at this scene in the must negative light possible. He faith was rewarded in the end, so if anything he succeeded. Plus they don't have time to start a fight.
@ It’s DEFINITELY been more than a few months. It’s been atleast a few years
You're overseeing it too much. It's GREAT writing that they didn't fight because Knuckles standing on his/their truth and promise he made as a TEAM. A warrior as he is heavily shown to be shows us how he must carry his nobility and to not get sidetracked by the wrong. This shows us depth of his character, writing, and even how they come together as a team which you completely miss. And I'm honestly confused on how you say "hey wanted a scene where Knuckles' role as a guardian conflicted with him being a brother to Sonic. And in the movie, he failed as both" when this exact scene shows how he is? To be mature and to have each others backs as SIBILINGS? In what way does he fail?
I would like it if you did a prewrite of Sonic Movie 4
Am I the only one who is waiting for Sonic to call Shadow a faker? No?
I like the ending because I felt like the original movie didn’t have enough of that at the end but the rest I didn’t like as much because while still not an adaptation of SA2 it’s closer but doesn’t need to. The San Francisco stuff was already used in the first movie, and while it fits more for this one it’s inclusion was not needed. No offense but I think the original movie did the knuckles and sonic scene better because it showed knuckles’s growth as a brother to sonic so he didn’t fight which works better in my opinion. But I understand your passion to make a different version of the movie and still enjoyed it as its own thing. Good job dude, you should write the next sonic film
Thank you. That’s a good point about the Knuckles scene. I guess I wanted a more emotional build up to Sonic almost killing Shadow, and felt that Knuckles anger and relearning the lesson of forgiveness added an extra later that drove the moral home. But your point of view also made sense. I’m glad you enjoyed! Any ideas for doing this kind of video toward another movie or adaptation?
I would agree with you, but at the same time not.
Knuckles just giving up the Master Emerald without fight feels very cheap. Being the guardian of the Master Emerald is his duty, and mission. And it was discarded in this movie as something not important.
Also if he loves sonic as his brother, he should have fought even harder to keep him away from the Emerald. Using the Emerald for bad/irresponsibly already wiped two whole species off the map (the Owls, and the Echidnas) and caused countless catastrophies.
Knuckles knew Sonic was at a bad place, and still let him leave with the geratest weapon in the universe.
If they fought, it would have been meaningful. It would have ment that Knuckles is serious about protecting both Sonic, and the Emerald. It would have shown us that Knuckles can make the hard decision, and fight against his brother to protect/save him.
@@pepita2437 I think it’s because knuckles knows sonic. He knew he was always going to realize his mistake and fix everything with shadow. Remember if sonic didn’t take the emerald, the world would be destroyed. Yes he initially used it for revenge but he realized last minute that it wasn’t him and that is what I think knuckles knew would happen.
@@lemoncakestudios3031 I would love a similar video for the Mario movie or even detective pikachu. What a sequel to both movies would look like or even a rewrite
@thebrickbros.1294 That actually makes sense. If the movie added a line about Knuckles believing that Sonic will do the right thing or something I would agree with you.
Still not happy tho. because in this actual scene Knuckles failed both as a guardian and a brother (they did not give any indication that Knuckles knew about Sonic changing his mind in the last minute)
if only the actual movie had Shadow frame Sonic and Sonic go to prison island. Just like in SA2
This not really that different from what we got. The main thing you did well was get rid of that god awful Tom and Maddie mission
just as i thought too GREAT movie dont get me wrong but i feel like it can be done differently and better
when the full version of live and learn plays from SA2, that had was peak. Good job dude, and don't stop making awesome vids. Also, this is what Sonic 3 would have sounded with the whole live and learn song btw ruclips.net/video/VmSrAA50BUI/видео.htmlsi=XzxEt46xy5aZDQmL
GOATED
Ngl the movie is good but i couldn't help but be disappointed. They left out a lot of awesome stuff from the game & butchered shadow's origin
the hell was wrong with Shadow origin.
Butchered shadows origin????
Guys, I know it’s confusing why they said that Paramount butchered Shadow’s origin. And don’t get me wrong, I do disagree with what Alex said. But I know why he feels that way.
In the games, Shadow was created by Gerald Robotnik using the DNA of Black Doom so he could cure his ailing granddaughter Maria Robotnik. Gerald creating Shadow in the first place was the catalyst for Shadow’s arc in its entirety and his bond with Maria amplified that. In Sonic the Hedgehog 3 however, it’s stated that he came down from a meteorite and G.U.N. began running tests on him led by the leading professor Gerald Robotnik. He then bonds with Maria and the two become inseparable.
With those two in mind, yes, they are indeed very similar. The only difference is that Maria in the film isn’t ill and Shadow was not created by Gerald Robotnik. So, it’s likely that Alex came into this film expecting Shadow’s origin story to be at least faithful to his game counterpart albeit some minor differences. But with Maria’s illness removed and Shadow’s creation changed (2 very important parts of his story) it felt like a let down to them. Which led to Alex concluding that they ruined Shadow’s origin.
But, in my perspective, the changes they’ve made aren’t important. What is important, is if it respects the original source material, (i.e. Shadow’s bond with Maria, Maria’s death, Gerald’s revenge plot against humanity and Shadow wanting to pursue vengeance so Maria’s death would be avenged). That’s what was shown in the film despite those changes in Shadow’s origin and it worked. It would have been disrespectful, if they chose to keep Maria alive, which is the whole point of Shadow’s character and story to begin with and made Gerald Eggman’s brother instead. That wouldn’t be who they are, as it deviates from the original story. But that didn’t happen, which is why I believe Paramount knew what they were doing.
@ I feel like the meteorite will connect Shadow to Black Doom in a way that makes sense.
they didnt butcher his origin. You guys really need to think about how they handle these characters and not bash it simply because it isnt what you wanted
I respect the effort, wow
I'm here before this blow up
That means so much
Honestly the whole movie felt cheap compared to the second one, some good scenes here and there but overall the film didnt stand for the hype
What If This Was Wrote By ChatGPT
I thought the film was really good but I would like to see dark sonic when sonic attacked before both becoming super
Honestly if the Sonic Cinematic Universe were to Have an Endgame Villain! It would Easily be The Devil Himself Mephiles The Dark!!!😈😈😈😈😈😈😈 The Single Most Evil and Dangerous Character in the Sonic Franchise itself!!! Dude is Literally Satan himself! As even his Name is Associated with The Devil himself!!! And he Tried to destroy the Concept of Existence along with he’s Verse Purely for Sadistic Pleasure!!! And because will he just wanted to die! Literally Zero reasons to why he’s Evil!!! He was born Evil!!!😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈 as he’s Pure Evil itself!!!
Nah, it's more like "The End" (from Sonic Frontiers) or maybe the Black Dragon (from Sonic Superstars).
i like a lot and dislike a lot..
its hard to explain but i felt like the live and learn line despite it being a reference was too corny, and there was not enough shadow.. i felt he was limited even more
A lot of Shadow’s scenes were left unaltered from the original. He should have almost exactly the same amount of screen time. Did you think he should’ve had more in the actual movie?
@ yea it kinda felt like knuckles in sonic 2 (them fighting for most of the movie but never truly interacting aside from one small scene here and there before.. a fight)
i wanted to see sonic and shadow interact more while not fighting, and if you really look back shadow and sonic dont actually interact that much
