Why Keanu Reeves is Shadow the Hedgehog
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- So, Keanu Reeves has been cast as Shadow the Hedgehog in the upcoming Sonic 3 movie.
Why Keanu? Well, probably because he's absolutely perfect for the role in every single way. Researching this video made it abundantly clear that there is nobody in Hollywood who can play the infamous motorcycle-riding, gun-wielding Ultimate Life Form quite like Keanu can.
Lots of love,
BretonStripes and Kotor

An actor whose most iconic role is a guy who’s an expert with guns, now has the role of a hedgehog who’s an expert with guns. What better casting can you ask for?
I would argue Neo is more iconic than Wick, just Wick is more recent so the impact feels fresher. Though Neo wasn't too shabby with guns either!
Ah sure, Neo is also Gun Fu but with reaction speeds so high they seem like time manipulation.
Shadow also has reaction speeds that high, but can also just literally change the flow of time.
Jason Griffith?
Let's face it: Keanu Reaves is all of him
Congratulations. You Got Hearted!
I understood that reference!
@@setsers1I agree with you!
@@chickenpotbiebro202What reference?
@@hgelle5342 "I am all of me"
Keanu is kind, reserved, passionate and doesn’t like to share his inner thoughts, even with friends.
Just like Shadow.
You're right. Keanu is basically a real-life human version of Shadow, in my opinion.
@@Rishi123456789That's right.
-Create a fuss over a mediocre video game movie with a horrendous design of a well-known character
-Listen to fans and re-design the character to match the original, winning general acclaim
-Movie becomes most successful video game film ever
-Tease a beloved character at the end
-Add another, throwing in an outstanding voice actor (Idris Elba)
-Second movie is also successful
-Tease another beloved character
-Spread rumor Jim Carrey is retiring
-He's actually not retiring
-Release trailer for third movie but without revealing the voice actor
-See who fans want cast for that role
-Hire exactly the highest ranking actor among fans' choice
-Profit
Next step would be, probably, to create a Shadow spin-off with Keanu still voicing him. Well played, Paramount.
I think he fits the role perfectly
Agreed.
@@VideoGameStoryTimeMe too.
I swear, BOTH of these are Fan Favorites.
So it's just common sense that Keanu should voice Shadow.
Congratulations, Keanu Reeves! I can't wait to see you on THE BIG SCREEN!!
The moral of the story?
Neo.
He is the One
@@VideoGameStoryTimeYeah. He's the one, all right.
Simple he's breathtaking. That and it's an interesting role role for him and one that's near perfect for him and how he seems to be an actor who plays roles not initially fan casted him as them but he somehow makes it work that and he seems to be the perfect actor for big roles to where there's basically nothing said awful about him or controversy involving him and he's most likely gonna take the Shadow role seriously knowing that he's voicing a character many sonic fans absolutely adore and love and won't damage the reception of the films and Shadow by doing something awful or getting involved in controversy
I remember Keanu was once paranoid he'd be typecast as Ted from Bill & Ted... I'd say he succeeded having a wide variety of roles over the decades since then
On a side note: can we all agree Shadow's actor for Sonic X was phenomenal?
Yes!
YES
Jason Griffith: Forever the GOAT
Wholeheartedly 😊
Jason Griffith is Shadow
One difference between Keanu and Shadow.
Keanu appears to be right handed, while Shadow is left handed (see ShtH game)
Hello fun fact: The relationship about Shadow and Black Doom, it's reminds me of one of the Keanu Reeve's movie Devil's Advocate, since their biological fathers are both Satan Incarnate.
I didn't know Keanu Reeves was Duke Kaboom in Toy Story 4
Yes he is. Also, Keanu suggested about Duke Kaboom posing a lot, so thank him for making the character more iconic
@@cailieisidro5758That's right. Come to think of it, Father👨🏿and I went to the movies🎬at Disney Springs🏰⚘️to see "Toy Story 4🪀" from 4 years ago, and it's dedicated to both the lates Don Rickles👴🏻(R.I.P.🪦), and Adam Burke (R.I.P.🪦), too. R.I.P. Don Rickles👴🏻(1926 - 2017🪦⚰️), and R.I.P. Adam Burke🧔🏻♂️(1971 - 2018🪦⚰️).
Gotta love how you picked the most Shadow-coded quotes to describe Keanu's personality
Keanu Reeves might be a mystery, but one thing we DO know about the man is that if he really wants something, he's always giving it his all. We can't be sure if he'll play Shadow the way everyone would like to imagine, but he's certaintly not gonna take the role for granted.
Moral of the Story: I Am All Of Me
SA2 Shadow & John Wick are kinda similar when you think about it.
It’s a bit of a reversal; John Wick is a human who went on a revenge spree because somebody killed his animal. Shadow is an animal who went on a revenge spree because somebody killed his human. (I know Shadow wasn’t Maria’s pet.)
@@JJ_RIt looks like both John Wick🧔🏻, and Shadow the Hedgehog🦔(played by both Keanu Reeves🧔🏻), had a lot in common.
YOU MUST LIVE AND LEARN
HANGIN ON THE EDGE OF TOMORROW
LIVE AND LEARN!
@@VideoGameStoryTimeWhere'd that song🎵come from?
@@gachaevil1773That song's🎵from the "Sonic Adventure 2 - Original Soundtrack (20th Anniversary Edition🦔🦔💽)."
THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO FIND OUT LET'S GOOOOOOOO
Shadow loves motorcycles, keanu loves motorcycles... what more can I say?
Thank you
Chaos Control is basically a Matrix power, ngl
This is the most greatest video📹, I've ever seen.
The moral of this story should obviously be: "Be excellent to each other!" 🤘
In Another Universe:
*Why Hayden Christensen is Shadow the Hedgehog.*
Or Cillian Murphy.
@@kitninglau8711I've never heard of him, before.
@@hgelle5342 Oppenheimer!
somecallmejohnny made a joke about this in one of his streams before the 1st movie,how time pass quickly
It took you six minutes to say "because he wants to be".
Good moral!
Most of my regrets in life come from times when I didn't know that lesson, it's such a vital lesson, really should be taught at a young age! Now where did I put my hedgehog wig, motorcycle keys and gun?
Can only look forward to edits of Constantine and Matrix with Shadow shoved right in
I really wonder how he'll do. Like, I feel like Shadow's voice is a bit more gruff yet a liitle softer than his voice, but I was listening to some voice clips that could fit for shadow, ans some of them sounded perfect for the character. So I honestly think he's a good pick, not just a famous pick
Reeves has no ego, that's why.
Yeah, a big time hollywood actor wouldn’t agree to the role, and I’m really glad Keanu is taking this role. In the words of Sonic The Hedgehog “Keanu, you are a national treasure”
@@AgentCarter516You can say that again.
When I first heard the rumors that Keanu Reeves was going to be shot of the hedgehog, I thought that it made too much sense: when you stop to think about it, shadows entire character is a furry John Wick😎
Shadow is just John Wick but switch the dog and the man
@@skip-4259Of course, he is.
It’s funny, when most people think of Keanu they think of John Wick. When I think of Keanu I think of Bill and Ted.
Why is Keanu Reeves playing Shadow the Hedgehog? Because Obama was busy.
Also, when he was a toddler he used to be babysat by Alice Cooper.
All good with dear keanu,but what about they guy who usually voices shadow? I feel sad for him.did a kickass job in sonic ( omg i forgot the name)( the one about shattered reality) sonic vibrations ?jajaj😅
Sonic Prime and that wasn't the usual cast. The show was recorded in Canada, while the games are recorded in LA.
@@noahmeyer9756Really? I didn't know that.🤷🏿♂️Come to think of it, I saw "Sonic Prime🦔" on the "107 Facts of Sonic Prime🦔" video📹on Frederator's🤖channel on RUclips▶️on TV.📺
The female narrator has returned ‼️
He's breathtaking.
Keanu Reeves, Shadow The Hedgehog, and Le Castle Vania, the guy who made the music for John Wick, all go perfectly well
Listening to aggressive EDM music by Le Castle Vania like Zero Machine feels like a motorcycle ride with guns
...
And after watching this, I realized something... something pretty fascinating.
Keanu Reeves IS Shadow the Hedgehog.
And you'd best believe that they ARE...
*They Are All Of Them.*
GUN Commander: “You’ll pay for what you did 50 years ago Shadow”!
Shadow: “Your the commander of GUN? You answer to them”?
GUN Commander: “Yes-“!
Shadow: “Tell them. Tell them all, who ever comes. I’ll kill them”.
Keanu Reeves might actually *be* the Shadow the Hedgehog of this timeline
Not self proclaimed
1:02 Is this a Sonadow moment?
It's more of a reference to the first sonic the hedgehog movie
@@GlitchyGeekIt is? I didn't know that.🤷🏿♂️
Nobody at the studios of Sega AND Paramount did not confirm this. Idk why everyone is saying this!
Well, its a really reliable leak. And of course Paramount won’t confirm anything officially until after the Knuckles show premieres
A fun lil wholesome video!
He's the.
Guy that played john Wick
Keanu Reeves reminds me of Ryo Yamada
Breton Stripes is here! Come quick!
so for keanu it’s like “i am all of me”
😯😯🙂🙂
Thanks for the vid
Great casting. But Keanu doesn’t have a low voice. Certainly raspy. But not low.
Should have been Anakin, since he actually sounds like Shadow.
They’re still doing Shadow? Aw man. I was hoping they were gonna go back to before all the cringe stuff from Adventure.
Huh?
@@orca717 Modern Sonic and everything after that switch is like for babies. Shadow is like the most cringey edgelord thing to come from that era of Sonic.
Cry
Don't worry... Soon Shadow will become so much bigger of a star than Sonic that there will be nothing left of your beloved Classic era to get your hopes up.
@@beat_avenger Cry about it
SONIC FANS, WE. HAVE. WON.
Reeves is a long time fancast for shadow! I'm so glad paramount answered our prayers! 🥹 XD 👏👏👏👏
