@@jziemy07it’s a leak from a pretty reliable source (from the guy who said that All Three Spider Men we’re gonna be in No Way Home and leaked the set photo to prove it). Nothing official yet.
Ehh not really much of a wtf moment, it's one of those common thematics that follow the plot of vengeance in every piece that reimagines it; letting the past dictate the course of your existence.
love how theatrical Eggman’s poses are here, and that last, wrathful expression of Shadow was killer. also the idea of Shadow getting a Chao as a last gift from Maria is honestly really sweet
@@yrooxrksvi7142yeah…there is nothing about Kirk’s acting direction that has been good for shadow. Not even in boom. Every now and then he’ll get a good word or line. But the rest are just awful. I miss any actor before Kirk… excited for Keanu!
I can’t help but wonder, would Eggman feel that same despair and rage aginst someone if they killed Sage? And then killed something or someone that was meant to help him morn his daughter’s death? What would he do then, if he’d lost Metal forever? Eggman is a villain still. And as the saying goes: a hero sacrifices their love for the world. A villain, sacrifices the world for their love. Eggman would burn the world down, finally end Sonic and his friends, and destroy the universe. Just as Eggman Nega had always planned, as Mephilis and others always wanted.
Yeah Keanu reeves would be a perfect role for Shadow in Sonic movie 3 because he's got the guns he's got the motorcycle he's got everything for the charter 👍🙂😁

Come from someone who is in the sonic communuity, and has watching the first 3 john wick movies (Haven't watched the 4th lol) This could genuinely work. Good job.
Funny enough, after watching sonic 2 in theaters, i was the only one who clapped and cheered when shadow appeared and the immediate first casting choice i had for him was Keanu Reeves since Shadow was pretty much an animal version of John Wick
I came here assuming someone probably dubbed Keanu's voice over shadow after the announcement but i only realized this was made 1 year ago when i saw a commnet say this aged well
1:30-2:52 if this were a conversation between Eggman and Shadow Eggman: So you're doing this....all because of some girl Shadow: just some girl...LET'S NOT FORGET SHE WAS YOUR FAMILY TOO EGGMAN Eggman backs away and falls down as Shadow grudily approaches Shadow: when your grandfather created me...I thought i would never amount to anything..didn't think I was meant for a purpose...then this young innocent soul comes along, the minute she arrived on the Ark, it didn't matter to her that even the sight of me, something of a monster, accepted me as a friend, even if she was dying she always believed that everyone deserves a chance, no matter how different they are......." rages begins to build slowly after Shadow turns his back to Eggman... "she gave me a reason to believe in humanity and have some semblance of hope...." Eggman continues to sit and listen, intrigued as Shadow turns around slowly images of Maria from beginning when he first met her, to seeing her smile, then eventual demise that laid before him as he watched take her last breath... Shadow: IT WAS YOUR GOVERNMENT THAT TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME, THAT INCIDENT, MARIA, GERALD, ALL THIS TIME I THOUGHT I COULD BELIEVE EVERYONE COULD CHANGE, BUT IT WAS ALL TAKEN AWAY, TOOK THAT HOPE FROM ME, STARTING WITH HER.... (Flashback) Shadow is locked and sealed in a capsule taken aback, after Maria pulls the lever. Behind them, one or more GUN soldiers are approaching. A door blocking their path. They hastily try to get it open, notice through the see-through screen mirrow someone or something in there. They begin to bark orders..."WHO IS THAT. OPEN THIS DOOR. RIGHT NOW" Shadow begins banging on the glass, telling Maria she has to run and find somewhere safe to hide, try to find Gerald, but she relents, looks behind her. The door is almost pryed open. Maria stands in deep thought. Shadow is confused. The sound blocked out for what seems like forever..... Maria: Shadow, I want you.... to promise me......" Shadow: Maria She begins to activate the release panel that eventually send the capsule into space Shadow: Maria! Maria, stop! Maria: No matter what always believe you have a purpose Shadow: YOU HAVE TO RUN Maria: always believe...she press against the capsule, her hand aligned with Shadow's, the other on the activation switch. "Never forget what you promised me." a second of silence. Shadow begins to as it seems fear the worst Shadow: MARIA......" he begins to cry... "please!" Giving everything she has she cries out "PROMISE ME" another moment of silence between until the sound comes back and there's a crash. The door is finally opened. It seems that Maria is just being told to back away when suddenly a gunshot is rang out.. Whether Maria turns away to look at one or more of the GUN soldiers and or had her back turned facing Shadow (i'll leave that everyone to interpret in their minds) as blood drips down from her blue silk dress GUN Soldier: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE Shadow, shocked and on the verge of crying screams "MARIA!" before being shot into space within the capsule, shooting down to Earth, wherever else he landed is anyone guess to how he's found later (Present) Shadow: After all that happened, all those years ago, I never guessed i be brought back by a descendant of the Professor, I always thought I never get my chance for vengeance.....but you released me.....and now I am in your debt Eggman mesmerized finally jumps up and says "Well....your welcome.....it's nice to,...well actually.....not everyday you meet one of your grandfather's greatest achievements yet turns out to be something i didn't expect. First one hedgehog,...now two. Shadow: we should continue our talk on the Ark. Ill be waiting Eggman: wait.....how do i get there Shadow: You're government....I'm sure you'll figure it out Shadow walks away, disappears, leaving Eggman alone. Except he's not. He wasn't exactly. Stone, having been knocked out the whole time throughout the conversation between Eggman and Shadow wakes up...bewildered Eggman: Dr......" he yawns feels a sharp pain in his head. "What happened. Did you find it?" Eggman: Stone" Eggman walks over to a table where sips a cup of coffee. "We'll be taking a trip.." Stone: where Eggman takes another sip, then gives a you'll see gaze Well, that's all i got. It may not be my best but i tried to picture how the scene would play out, adding my own visual of what we could expect from the actual movie. Still, I'm not sure its any good......
honestly i dont know what would be better, hayden christensen or keanu reeves as shadow hayden fits the traumatised and more child-like part of shadow. the pure anger and hatred for humanity after taking maria from him like anakins anger for obi-wan in episode 3 during their duel keanu fits the cool, more mature part of shadow. not being afraid to use his powers to avenge maria. using objects in his enviroment such as various firearms and comically-large-katanas mirror keanus john wicks pencil shenanigans i dont know i havent watched anything with keanu in it but you get the idea (probably)
Reeves is honestly perfect to play the role of the ultimate life form. Someone who may seem like an evil person but is really a gentle soul who has suffered tragic losses and acts out in anger/revenge for said loss. What makes this even better is that this wish finally came true.
Sheadow Reeves
SHEADOW REEVES
SHEADOW REEVES IS REAL
ITS REALLLLLL
The only question now is, _will his past in the Movie Universe be tied to the Soviets_ ?
SHEANU REEVES
This aged beautifully well
Aye
both yes and no because shadow doesn’t team up with anyone in the movie
Now He has been officially casted as Shadow
Source?
@@thefantasylife everywhere dude! its real! its happening!
@@jziemy07it’s a leak from a pretty reliable source (from the guy who said that All Three Spider Men we’re gonna be in No Way Home and leaked the set photo to prove it).
Nothing official yet.
@@Houndlock643 It's been confirmed.
@@thefantasylifeTHR
THIS IS BASICALLY CANON NOW
This aged like wine
Yas
Like a fine wine indeed
“Lying to yourself that the past held no sway over the future…”
Wtf why does this fit with Shadow’s character so well
Ehh not really much of a wtf moment, it's one of those common thematics that follow the plot of vengeance in every piece that reimagines it; letting the past dictate the course of your existence.
I swear they listened to the very niche fan casters
Not that niche lol everyone on twitter was asking for him before Hayden Christensen
Let's be real Hayden was a fun rumor but that was never gonna happen
Shadow Confirmed John Wick.
Now he’s actually shadow!
love how theatrical Eggman’s poses are here, and that last, wrathful expression of Shadow was killer. also the idea of Shadow getting a Chao as a last gift from Maria is honestly really sweet
Shadow with a chao is the most precious thing, and it should honestly be more relevant in the games
Bro really predicted the future
I feel like Eggman mocking Shadow with “The Ultimate Lifeform” instead of Baba Yaga is more fitting for this scene.
This has aged like the finest of wines
Can confirm as of today Keanu is Shadow for real.
This aged like a good wine
Well it's confirmed now Keanu is now Shadow.
Just finished watching the trailer, and the casting director must have watched this cause this is 100% the vibe they're going for with Shadow.
You were right, this does have sonic 3 spoilers
Everyone seems to want Keanu for Shadow in Sonic 3, and after this, I'm not opposed to it!
My only question is can Paramount afford him? The guy is expensive
@@aidenemerson670they could afford Idris Elba, and both movie succeded a lot, so its not like they would cheapen a choice for actors
Guess what?
@@MackeyBigBoy4014 I'm aware
@@MackeyBigBoy4014 NO FREAKING WAY!
"everyone keeps asking if I'm in sonic movie 3 and yeah I think I am in sonic movie 3!!!!"
Officially shadow reeves🎉🎉
Keanu is perfect. He has…
The Mystery of David Humphrey
The Badassery of Jason Griffith
The Ferocity of Kirk Thornton
Kirk's Shadow isn't really "ferocious", he just sounds old lmao
@@yrooxrksvi7142 Which I think would fit a jaded and more weary Shadow.

Oh yes. I think Keanu Reeves as Shadow works way tooo well.
This aged sooo incredibly well
This aged amazingly
This dialogue they wrote for the Whick films was so good! Really sounds like a conversation Shadow and Eggman would have.
Keanu: for about a year now people have been asking me if I’m cast and I haven’t really had an answer, but now, yeah, I’m thinking I’m cast!
Every day, my hopes for Keanu Shadow grows stronger
And your hopes were answered.
Bro predicted. Keanu Reeves will be the voice for Shadow in Sonic 3!!
Bro can see the future
I can’t help but wonder, would Eggman feel that same despair and rage aginst someone if they killed Sage? And then killed something or someone that was meant to help him morn his daughter’s death?

HOLY MACARONI THIS ANIMATIC JUST SMASHED MY TWO OBSSESIONS TOGETHER AND I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR THAT THIS IS PERFECT!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
AAAAA THAT WAS SO GOOOODDDDD YOU KILLED ITTT
I’m sorry but keanu reeves is literally the perfect person to voice shadow in sonic 3
Seems they made the Perfect choice then
@@96montecarlo1 yup😃
Knowing that he will now be the voice actor for Shadow in Sonic 3 The Movie 😭

You were so right.
Now it’s real
Aged like fine wine 🍷
woah so cool,your animatics are always really good!! oof maria and now shadow's chao :(

Oh my gosh this is impeccable work. It's almost too fitting

Come from someone who is in the sonic communuity, and has watching the first 3 john wick movies (Haven't watched the 4th lol) This could genuinely work. Good job.
Well now... guess whos rumored to play him
He’s always been rumored. We still don’t know
@thefantasylife2267 No, he wasn't. The only "rumored" actor was Hayden
@@UglyBarnical58 okay yeah fair, but Keanu reeves as a potential voice actor has been in the fandom mind for a while is what I really meant
@@thefantasylife AS YOU SAID THIS! IT WAS CONFIRMED HES PLAYING SHADOW!!! :D
Guess who just got CONFIRMED to play Shadow?
Whoever made this is a time traveler, and nothing can convince me otherwise
Sega listened AND WE HAVE GOTTEN *THE GREATEST SHADOW OF THE CENTURY!!!!!!*
Funny enough, after watching sonic 2 in theaters, i was the only one who clapped and cheered when shadow appeared and the immediate first casting choice i had for him was Keanu Reeves since Shadow was pretty much an animal version of John Wick

Shadow Reeves is canon now 🤯
its sheadow reeves lol
This aged well
Well this aged well
This is well done!
Aged very well--cant wait for more!
THIS CHRISTMAS
Looks like someone predicted the future.
I would've replaced "just a car" with "just a girl" IMO. Otherwise, this was great.
Okay, I wanted to keep the car line because of the bike shadow has in his game, and the truck he has in the idw comics
@@thefantasylife fair point.
I came here assuming someone probably dubbed Keanu's voice over shadow after the announcement but i only realized this was made 1 year ago when i saw a commnet say this aged well

I love how the algorithm brought this back now that Keanu Reeves has been presumably casted as Shadow 😭

I love that the choa is the dog... (Also this is now cannon)
So is this just on everyone's recommendations because it's been confirmed now

Huh, neat.

I this would a make for a great scene in Sonic 3 and also I am really surprised that Keanu Reeves is going to voicing Shadow.
