The change in Shadow's backstory is very blatantly a setup for them to connect him to the Black Arms should the movies end up including them. That was instantly what my mind went to, obviously so people don't feel like it came out of nowhere like the games.
Honestly, I have to disagree with a few of the criticisms here. Firstly, with Shadow coming onto Earth through the meteor, I think that’s not bad because it could set up some Black Arms Black Comet stuff later on. And with him in the tube, it’s obvious in the movie that EVERYBODY besides for Maria thinks Shadow is a scary monster-alien guy, so they would obviously try to keep him isolated while experimenting. Then with the “sacrifice for nothing” point, that was what happened in SA2. I mean the exact same premise, Shadow dies and comes back later. Lastly, with the Knuckles and Sonic argument, I think Knuckles giving in is a sign of their trust and teamwork, like “This is risky and morally gray at best, but I know you’ll do the right thing at the end of the day”. The rest of this review was basically spot on with what I thought, though. TLDR: Revenge Guac
I was okay with Shadow being an alien rather than having been created by Gerald Robotnik. To me, it never made much sense that Shadow was created in a lab, yet somehow looks like he comes from the same world as Sonic, and all his friends.
In game continuity I guess the fictional universe is where humans and anthropomorphic animals exist in same world and Gerald just decided to create a Hedgehog from scratch with powers using gene splicing. But yeah I’m also okay with the change in the movie. Because in this continuity anthropomorphic characters aren’t from earth so it doesn’t make sense to have Shadow be created in a lab. In the games since they do exist on earth humans aren’t phased by them as they are just ordinary citizens like everyone else.
In game continuity it makes sense that Gerald used the prophecy tablet from sonic adventure 1 to create "the ultimate lifeform" which is why the biolizard ultimate lifeform prototype looks 100% different from Shadow. But the biolizard isn't in this movie.
Indeed, and I'm also excited since it introduces new plot threads to follow in the next movie! I'm curious how they'll develop Sonic and Amy's unusual relationship, or how Metal Sonic was created in this version!
7:28 SPOILERS I feel like this was actually setting up something interesting with shadow coming from a meteorite. You take a look at the design of it, it looks very similar to the black comet. Idk I appreciated what they did with this story. I don’t prefer it but I liked it.
That title is so real man. I’ve been a Sonic fan all my life and I’ve always wanted a movie like this. This movie means so much to me. I don’t care what anyone says, this movie will always be my movie of the year, my movie of the decade, and my favorite movie of all time… Until Sonic 4 comes out! Seriously dude, I love this movie so much
This movie was AMAZING 10/10 Keanu absolutely killed it with shadows voice, this was definitely my favorite out of the three, the robotnik and Gerald montage was absolutely hilarious I couldn’t stop laughing
Didnt seen movie yet, but part about Gerald being goofy and serious, that's literally definition of crazy dude, and Gerald for sure at least in games became crazy after Maria's death
I'd give it a 9/10. I actually quite liked movie Gerald. He's not supposed to be the same as in the game and I enjoyed his dialogs with Ivo. Also, I didn't notice any filler. SPOILERS: If by filler you meant the laser dance sequence then I thought it was necessary to make Ivo and Gerald's bonding more believable. Because of that, Gerald's real motivations reveal at the end felt like a bigger betrayal than it would've been otherwise.
@@RatchetAndClank14 what are you talking about? With Sonic 1 and 2 there was just the one post-credits scene, and in case you don’t understand logic, I didn’t get any spoilers, I wanted a spoiler-free watch. No one said there would ever be a second one, there was no hint there would be a second one, so I didn’t know there would be a second one. I just thought it would be like the first two. No need to go “If YoU aCtUaLlY lIkEd ThE mOvIe YoU wOuLd KnOw”
@@Terminal_Apotos so? Did I watch videos of people saying that? No. Because, like a normal person, I didn’t want spoilers. It wasn’t clear that there would be a second one, considering the last two didn’t, and this one gave no indication of that. And don’t give me that “Oh YoU sHoUlD hAvE wAtChEd ThOsE vIdEoS aNd RuInEd YoUr WaTcHiNg ExPeRiEnCe”
Honestly 9.9/10 the ONLY bad thing about this movie was the eggmens jokes ovestaying and wasting a good few minutes of the movie if sonic 4 is like sonic 3 just without the eggman jokes being to forced then it's peak, and wade was perfect because he has 30 seconds of screen time and thats honestly all we need
Everyone is so sure that it's going to go the Sonic CD route, but if Time Travel is involved, I hope we can get our favorite Silver hedgehog to join the story too.
As much as i want a live-action silver i think they should save him for Sonic 5 and i want it to take inspiration from 06 and be the final movie with the three super hedgehogs defeating solaris but I'm sure as long as these movies keep making money they will make more
All we can do is pray! Sonic CD is probably one of the best in the franchise and a movie adaptation of that game would be… PEAK CINEMA x10! Though, do you think they’d introduce the time stones?
9:50 Calling it right now. The villains gonna be Neo Metal Sonic, the master of the metal sonic army. Eggman would’ve been sent to the past where he was going to use his concept of metal sonic, and since Sonic wasn’t there yet, he was able to easily rule humanity without any issues.
FINAL BATTLE SCREAMS DRAGON BALL STYLE FIGHT, I feel like for Sonic 4 we are getting a Sonic CD story arc mixed with the Metallix arc from the fleetway comics so its gonna be like Terminator in a way!
I bet if Jim Carrey decides to return for the fourth movie that they’ll use the time travel thing as an excuse on how he’s still alive. Maybe as he was engulfed by the cannon’s explosion a rift sends him into the future and he later creates Metal Sonic, and in a post apocalyptic future where Metal Sonic goes rogue and betrays him and threatens life on earth, and Robotnik is part of the resistance movement working with Amy. That could be a possibility. Do the Samurai Jack technique. And it doesn’t ruin his sacrifice in Sonic 3.
Honestly i wanna give a massive hand to Ben Schwartz. He went from "Eh, idk if i really like him as Sonic" from my first impressions to probably my 2nd favorite Sonic voice behind Roger Craig Smith
Hard disagree on Gerald and I think you need to watch this again. It is clear that he's just putting on act whenever he's talking with Eggman in order to gain his grandson's cooperation, when he talks with Shadow the mask comes off and you see the viciousness you expect from Gearld, and when his plan is finally revealed he drops all pretense's for Eggman too. So you do see the psyochotic and broken old man from SA2 that just wants to see the world burn.
Adding on to your time travel theory- Ryan Drummond at either Sonic Expo or some convention said that there was supposed to be a scene in Sonic 3 that had him and Jason (I’m assuming Roger too) portray different Sonic’s after movie Sonic ran through a portal. It was cut from 3 but supposedly being saved for 4
Hopefully executed better than the scene in DC’s The Flash 2023 movie involving different characters. 💯 Also Earkle actor needs to come back as well to cameo as his Sonic. Then Andre Black Nerd Comedy will finally shut up about asking for him to cameo in a Sonic movie.
Sonic movie 3 really is like a dream come true and ends Fearless year of Shadow 2024 perfectly can't wait i'm so excited to see it in the next week's friday december 27 here in Finland yeah a week later, but merry christmas and a happy new year everyone: What a colorful bunch! ❤
Sonic 1 was its own thing. Sonic 2 was more based on Sonic 3 and knuckles. Sonic 3 was primarily based on adventure 2. Sonic 4 (prediction by what I’ve seen) Cd based
Seeing this movie in the theaters was an experience for me. Just like when I saw Avengers Endgame or Spider-Man No Way Home, what made Sonic 3 an experience was the amount of times the audience (including me) cheered for the epic moments and fan service. I still think about my theater’s reaction to seeing Metal Sonic and Amy! As far as what I hope to see what’s next for the franchise, I am curious to see how Amy is handled in Sonic 4. Amy was a character I never liked due to her unhealthy obsession with Sonic. I’m sure for movie Amy, her and Sonic will have a dynamic that could lead to a romance between them but I want Amy to shine as a capable character. As for Shadow since he’s confirmed to be alive, I feel like his backstory with the Black Arms could be a possible storyline for his standalone movie should paramount movie forward with a Shadow movie.
I had a blast, especially made my own shadow shoes for the film that got many attention during fan event. My theater went crazy during the last part of the film and of course the post credits.
9:45 dude doesn’t understand the hype for more characters in movies is different in the video games ? Why do MCU fans get hyped for other marvel characters in the post credits ?
7:30 - Honestly, and this is just my silly thoughts, but I kinda disagree. Knuckles standing down and letting Sonic take the Emerald shows his growth from the hotheaded fighter and showing his trust in his team and especially Sonic, thinking that, even if he’s losing his way in the moment, he’ll eventually get back on track. It also demonstrates his sense of honor they’ve had him spouting throughout Movie 2. Again, I may be looking WAY too deep into it, but it was one of my favorite Knuckles moments in the movie. And after years of him being dumbed down, this was really nice to see.
In hindsight a fight scene wouldn't have made sense for sonic and knuckles as they wanted to focus more and put more budget on the final act instead, also i loved the scene where they argued because knuckles gave in because he knew exactly how sonic felt and that just shows that he now has genuine understanding and care for others being ready to break his oath because he doesn't want to fight with sonic
I think that Shadow being an alien makes some semblance of sense, it would be really hard to explain to people who never seen SA 2 or Shadow the Hedgehog’s solo game how Gerald created Shadow and why they’re living up in space to cure a little girl, plus the meteorite looks like it might be from the Black Comet, so it could be some fore-Shadow-ing like the other post credit scene, we might get an adaptation of that game through a Shadow series which would be pretty awesome. I was only not a fan of that the master emerald turned into a holder of the chaos emeralds because in the second movie it shows Sonic send the chaos emeralds up somewhere and Knuckles repair the Master emerald without the Chaos emeralds which I liked because that made me think “Oh, this is how Knuckles can guard the master emerald and Sonic can look for the Chaos emeralds instead to go super” but then Sonic uses the Master emerald which turns into the chaos emeralds so… wtf.
I love your take on the movie but I disagree with your take on the post credit scene. "Oh its just more characters". I feel you're putting it too lightly. Remember, people were speculating and hoping Amy was gonna show up in the movie. And it was pretty cool when she did. Plus, Metal Sonic is a very cool surprise and also he finally gets his time to shine after soo amny years.
This is random but I want Nazo the hedgehog (the mystery character) to be the BIG BAD to end off the Sonic movie series whenever that is. They have to make him super op since he’s the definition of mystery. And obviously it will be his introduction to Sonic media and people that know Sonic lore would go Beserk!!!
I just saw the movie and it was a BLAST. Honestly, my only major complaint is the story was underbaked in two ways. We weren't told near enough on G.U.N or Gerald which makes a few problems because we know G.U.N. are not exactly good guys but they do try to be most of the time until they go full evil, and I never knew where G.U.N stood in anything not related to Shadow. Gerald was also sorely in need of elaboration and back story. We know that G.U.N betrayed Gerald but we never know WHY which is a problem when G.U.N is just pushed aside for seemingly no reason at the end of act 2. Gerald also went full evil which was different from the games which is fine, but I need to know WHY which was missing. I've heard some people complain about the jokes and I understand to a point, but these were AWESOME jokes, and Jim Carrey was perfection. My only complaint about the jokes was that there wasn't enough time between the serious stuff and the next routine which was jarring. This movie probably needed another 10-15 minutes of run time but other than that this was perfection for a Sonic movie.
I have to disagree with you calling sonic movie 1 a generic kids because i loved that movie as a kid and i have been watching it for 2 years before sonic movie 2 came out and also disagree with your critcism about gerald too wacky because it never bother me and its jim carrey what more do you expect
What scene did you think was the filler? IMO this movie went at a really fast pace and could’ve used an extra 20-30 minutes to let certain events simmer. Also what was the Sonic Boom reference? Hopefully they do something interesting with Amy instead of what I think they’re going to do, when I saw her I immediately thought about that bo peep character in Toy Story 4
This movie was great and I had a blast watching it, the Super Sonic vs Super Shadow fight was the highlight. But I might be in the minority here, I didn't like how outright villainous they made Gerald out to be. Like I get his goals are bad but in the games he comes off as a tragic character because of what happened to Maria. I also didn't like how he was taken out, but the movie overall is still amazing.
I’m still pissed with Warner Bros that they couldn’t course correct and they are sticking to their crappy vision of Minecraft. I know it’s unlikely it could’ve been fixed but still, the fact Paramount gave us 3 good Sonic movies but WB couldn’t make a single good Minecraft movie after all the years in development hell showcases that Hollywood as a whole is still out of touch and only few in Hollywood actually know how to respect the source material. I hope SF does some videos on Minecraft about this topic as well as Block by Block which actually looks respectful towards the source material unlike WB’s A Minecraft Movie. I’d definitely also rather watch him do a review series on block by block when it comes out, and even watch him do a rant video on A Minecraft Movie instead of watching it.
Here's my pitch for the next 3 sonic movies Sonic movie 4: Adapt CD and Heroes to where metal sonic gains some sort of sentience and becomes Metal Overlord and it'll take the combined effort of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy to stop him. Introduce Professor Pickle in the post credit scene & mention Soleanna in some way shape or form. Professor Pickle talks to Sonic or some other characters about tracking the Chaos Emeralds to a long forgotten/rumored Starfall Islands. Sonic Movie 5. Adapt Sa1 and Frontiers. Team sonic travel to the Starfall Islands to investigate the chaos emeralds. They stumbled upon The Ancients' ruins and learn about what happened there long ago, have 1 or two Titan fights where you need all of team sonic to stop them instead of super sonic. Have Tikal be an AI voice that talks to team sonic telling them about happened to the ancients. Have Chaos be the sole survivor of the ancients and he is in stasis the same way shadow was. This time he's seemingly targeting sonic for whatever reason and eventually turns to perfect chaos. Sonic goes super to stop perfect chaos in a fight that goes through all of the Starfall islands. You then learn from a calmed and defeated chaos that Mephiles was the one that annihilated the ancients in search of the chaos emeralds. However instead of needing to merge with Inblis, he also needs to merge with Dark Gaia to become solaris. The ancients with Chip manage to fend off Mephiles + Iblis and seal away Dark Gaia in the Earth's core. They manage to separate and seal Iblis and Mephiles and mephiles stays sealed in the Starfall islands and Iblis gets sent to Soleanna. End the movie with chaos realizing that mephiles has escaped containment from that big fight between perfect chaos and sonic. Cue to chaos and tikal urging team sonic to everything they can to prevent mephiles from becoming solaris and to go to soleanna immediately. Introduce blaze and silver in the post credit scene. Sonic Movie 6: Adapt 06 & Unleashed (without the werehog) Since this is going to adapt 06 have the movie be split into two parts because it's going to be massive and be the avengers endgame of the sonic movie franchise. Team sonic & professor pickle go to soleanna to warn the Elise' father (i forgot his name & title) about mephiles coming. Chaos ensues when Blaze and Silver try to stop team Sonic and come to find out that Mephiles is manipulating silver and blaze to prevent team Sonic (and team shadow at this point) from stopping mephiles. Chunks of 06 play out and the movie ends with mephiles killing sonic and have him unseal dark gaia resulting in the earth's crust splitting off and floating into space. In part 2 have team silver, team sonic and team shadow find the scattered chaos emeralds to revive sonic and stop mephiles. Due to the chaos emeralds scattering from Mephiles turning into solaris. They all find the chaos emeralds and Sonic, Shadow and Silver go super to stop solaris, however it is not enough and they get absolutely rattled by Solaris, chip uses his light gaia energy to supercharge the chaos emeralds alongside tails, stone, and professor pickle figuring out how to do that as well. The super emeralds are created and we get Hyper Sonic, Shadow and Silver vs Solaris and it's just enough to stop him. However at this point most of reality and the earth is torn to shreds so things must be reset and have that be a way to have a clean slate moving forward if they want to create more sonic movies with a different cast and whatnot, or continue with the current cast. During both parts of movie 6 incorporate fights between iblis, dark gaia, silver and blaze, etc etc I know it won't go like this and it is a horrifically made draft of what it could be, but I like to speculate about things lol
I give this film a 9/10. I love the team Sonic dynamic. Tails is actually really cool in this film. He don’t go by saying stuff such as “Only Sonic the hedgehog… “ you know when saw 2nd movie. Is a good standalone film. Don’t need knowledge of first two to enjoy this film.
The movie is so good that it pissed off a billion dollar company enough to complain on Twitter.

😂 me neither especially the Christmas bit of him tackling Gerald Santa Claus being scared like a kid. 😂😂😂😂
imagine if robotnik just got sent forward in time
9:14 the point is not Shadow's sacrifice, it's Eggman's

Knuckles standing down and letting Sonic take the Emerald shows his growth from the hotheaded fighter and showing his trust in his team and especially Sonic, thinking that, even if he’s losing his way in the moment, he’ll eventually get back on track. It also demonstrates his sense of honor they’ve had him spouting throughout Movie 2.
Again, I may be looking WAY too deep into it, but it was one of my favorite Knuckles moments in the movie. And after years of him being dumbed down, this was really nice to see.
100% agreed it was one of my best moments. I also think it was a reminder that I'd Sonic ever goes off the rails, Knuckles will be there to stop him.
In hindsight a fight scene wouldn't have made sense for sonic and knuckles as they wanted to focus more and put more budget on the final act instead, also i loved the scene where they argued because knuckles gave in because he knew exactly how sonic felt and that just shows that he now has genuine understanding and care for others being ready to break his oath because he doesn't want to fight with sonic
I think that Shadow being an alien makes some semblance of sense, it would be really hard to explain to people who never seen SA 2 or Shadow the Hedgehog’s solo game how Gerald created Shadow and why they’re living up in space to cure a little girl, plus the meteorite looks like it might be from the Black Comet, so it could be some fore-Shadow-ing like the other post credit scene, we might get an adaptation of that game through a Shadow series which would be pretty awesome. I was only not a fan of that the master emerald turned into a holder of the chaos emeralds because in the second movie it shows Sonic send the chaos emeralds up somewhere and Knuckles repair the Master emerald without the Chaos emeralds which I liked because that made me think “Oh, this is how Knuckles can guard the master emerald and Sonic can look for the Chaos emeralds instead to go super” but then Sonic uses the Master emerald which turns into the chaos emeralds so… wtf.
Great video SF! 👍👍
I watch the movie 1 day before it came out
Yeah a small nitpick I had was that some of the robotnik scenes should have been swapped for more Shadow scenes
I love your take on the movie but I disagree with your take on the post credit scene. "Oh its just more characters". I feel you're putting it too lightly. Remember, people were speculating and hoping Amy was gonna show up in the movie. And it was pretty cool when she did. Plus, Metal Sonic is a very cool surprise and also he finally gets his time to shine after soo amny years.
The Gerald death scene caught me off guard and I did'nt know how to feel about it when I first watched the movie
Funniest shit I've ever seen, it was perfect
I did'nt expect him to die like that well I underestimated Jim Carrey level of goofiness😂@@debussy7826
5:47 i hope you have the aame outcome as maria
This movie was everything they did everything so freaking well ❤❤had the highest scores with 87 and 98 %
The final battle was crazy!
This is random but I want Nazo the hedgehog (the mystery character) to be the BIG BAD to end off the Sonic movie series whenever that is. They have to make him super op since he’s the definition of mystery. And obviously it will be his introduction to Sonic media and people that know Sonic lore would go Beserk!!!
Gonna be honest, I thought it was only ok. Glad to see people are liking it though.
IGN rate Sonic Movie 3 6/10, even thought this is one of the most unnecessary Review as ever experienced lower then Mufasa was came out 3 days ago.
Ivo at parts seems like he was being goofy for reasions.
I just saw the movie and it was a BLAST. Honestly, my only major complaint is the story was underbaked in two ways. We weren't told near enough on G.U.N or Gerald which makes a few problems because we know G.U.N. are not exactly good guys but they do try to be most of the time until they go full evil, and I never knew where G.U.N stood in anything not related to Shadow. Gerald was also sorely in need of elaboration and back story. We know that G.U.N betrayed Gerald but we never know WHY which is a problem when G.U.N is just pushed aside for seemingly no reason at the end of act 2. Gerald also went full evil which was different from the games which is fine, but I need to know WHY which was missing.
I've heard some people complain about the jokes and I understand to a point, but these were AWESOME jokes, and Jim Carrey was perfection. My only complaint about the jokes was that there wasn't enough time between the serious stuff and the next routine which was jarring. This movie probably needed another 10-15 minutes of run time but other than that this was perfection for a Sonic movie.
shadows backstory was great
(spoilers)
but the presentation of it going in and out was a litle underwheming
(also the end of gerald isent amazing)
The one problem I have with the movie is just how werid the Eggman and Gerald fight was and the way Gerald dies in such a weird way.
I have to disagree with you calling sonic movie 1 a generic kids because i loved that movie as a kid and i have been watching it for 2 years before sonic movie 2 came out and also disagree with your critcism about gerald too wacky because it never bother me and its jim carrey what more do you expect
It was awesome but I wish we got a full version of Live and Learn released the movie remix is so good 😭
i am sad i cant listen to the music because it was PEAK
What scene did you think was the filler? IMO this movie went at a really fast pace and could’ve used an extra 20-30 minutes to let certain events simmer. Also what was the Sonic Boom reference? Hopefully they do something interesting with Amy instead of what I think they’re going to do, when I saw her I immediately thought about that bo peep character in Toy Story 4
This movie was great and I had a blast watching it, the Super Sonic vs Super Shadow fight was the highlight. But I might be in the minority here, I didn't like how outright villainous they made Gerald out to be.
Like I get his goals are bad but in the games he comes off as a tragic character because of what happened to Maria. I also didn't like how he was taken out, but the movie overall is still amazing.
9:57 I think it's sonic heroes
I love this movie it’s makes me so happy and as a shadow the hedgehog fan this movie gave me everything I ever wanted which makes me so happy. 😃
Idk i feel like you kinda downplay the post credit scene and more but this was a overall great review
Also, the dance sequence with Jim Carrey was a bit much.
11:09 fin.
SONIC 3 IS SO PEAK
I’m still pissed with Warner Bros that they couldn’t course correct and they are sticking to their crappy vision of Minecraft. I know it’s unlikely it could’ve been fixed but still, the fact Paramount gave us 3 good Sonic movies but WB couldn’t make a single good Minecraft movie after all the years in development hell showcases that Hollywood as a whole is still out of touch and only few in Hollywood actually know how to respect the source material. I hope SF does some videos on Minecraft about this topic as well as Block by Block which actually looks respectful towards the source material unlike WB’s A Minecraft Movie. I’d definitely also rather watch him do a review series on block by block when it comes out, and even watch him do a rant video on A Minecraft Movie instead of watching it.
How did this video not appear in my notifications???
Adding that on 1:25, what's so bad about Fortnite dances and what's wrong with it?
It's cringe
@@SFproductions1 what's so cringe about it? I wanna know.

Hello sf, I am back from the dead
Here's my pitch for the next 3 sonic movies
Sonic movie 4: Adapt CD and Heroes to where metal sonic gains some sort of sentience and becomes Metal Overlord and it'll take the combined effort of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy to stop him. Introduce Professor Pickle in the post credit scene & mention Soleanna in some way shape or form. Professor Pickle talks to Sonic or some other characters about tracking the Chaos Emeralds to a long forgotten/rumored Starfall Islands.
Sonic Movie 5. Adapt Sa1 and Frontiers. Team sonic travel to the Starfall Islands to investigate the chaos emeralds. They stumbled upon The Ancients' ruins and learn about what happened there long ago, have 1 or two Titan fights where you need all of team sonic to stop them instead of super sonic. Have Tikal be an AI voice that talks to team sonic telling them about happened to the ancients. Have Chaos be the sole survivor of the ancients and he is in stasis the same way shadow was. This time he's seemingly targeting sonic for whatever reason and eventually turns to perfect chaos. Sonic goes super to stop perfect chaos in a fight that goes through all of the Starfall islands. You then learn from a calmed and defeated chaos that Mephiles was the one that annihilated the ancients in search of the chaos emeralds. However instead of needing to merge with Inblis, he also needs to merge with Dark Gaia to become solaris. The ancients with Chip manage to fend off Mephiles + Iblis and seal away Dark Gaia in the Earth's core. They manage to separate and seal Iblis and Mephiles and mephiles stays sealed in the Starfall islands and Iblis gets sent to Soleanna. End the movie with chaos realizing that mephiles has escaped containment from that big fight between perfect chaos and sonic. Cue to chaos and tikal urging team sonic to everything they can to prevent mephiles from becoming solaris and to go to soleanna immediately. Introduce blaze and silver in the post credit scene.
Sonic Movie 6: Adapt 06 & Unleashed (without the werehog)
Since this is going to adapt 06 have the movie be split into two parts because it's going to be massive and be the avengers endgame of the sonic movie franchise.
Team sonic & professor pickle go to soleanna to warn the Elise' father (i forgot his name & title) about mephiles coming. Chaos ensues when Blaze and Silver try to stop team Sonic and come to find out that Mephiles is manipulating silver and blaze to prevent team Sonic (and team shadow at this point) from stopping mephiles. Chunks of 06 play out and the movie ends with mephiles killing sonic and have him unseal dark gaia resulting in the earth's crust splitting off and floating into space.
In part 2 have team silver, team sonic and team shadow find the scattered chaos emeralds to revive sonic and stop mephiles. Due to the chaos emeralds scattering from Mephiles turning into solaris. They all find the chaos emeralds and Sonic, Shadow and Silver go super to stop solaris, however it is not enough and they get absolutely rattled by Solaris, chip uses his light gaia energy to supercharge the chaos emeralds alongside tails, stone, and professor pickle figuring out how to do that as well. The super emeralds are created and we get Hyper Sonic, Shadow and Silver vs Solaris and it's just enough to stop him. However at this point most of reality and the earth is torn to shreds so things must be reset and have that be a way to have a clean slate moving forward if they want to create more sonic movies with a different cast and whatnot, or continue with the current cast.
During both parts of movie 6 incorporate fights between iblis, dark gaia, silver and blaze, etc etc
I know it won't go like this and it is a horrifically made draft of what it could be, but I like to speculate about things lol
I give this film a 9/10. I love the team Sonic dynamic. Tails is actually really cool in this film. He don’t go by saying stuff such as “Only Sonic the hedgehog… “ you know when saw 2nd movie. Is a good standalone film. Don’t need knowledge of first two to enjoy this film.
Finally someone not gonna make it just a ten out of ten Because of shadow
also did you squeal as well when Sonic said the low budget flight quote from the opening cutscene to city escape in the movie?
