They already showed it in the trailer. You see Shadow and Gerald over her body with wrecked vehicles and fire in the background and at least 2 soldiers walking towards them with weird rifle weaponry.
@@jbwarner8626 No joke; If that game had functional gameplay to contrast the bizarre, edgy writing? I don't throw around the word "flawless" very often... But here we are.
Yeah Doug, Shadow has a really tragic and depressing backstory. I hope the movie has the courage to make it as tragic and heartbreaking as it was in the games
Hayden would have been perfect! I hate that he didn't get the chance to voice Shadow.. I wanted Wesley Snipes as Knuckles, but Idris Elba is kinda growing on me as Knuckles..
Shadow (and his backstory) doesn't mesh with the franchise's tone ONE BIT, but I think that's why he's such a stand out fan-favorite character. The game named after Shadow gave everyone real guns, and made each character swear exactly once like the writers had a checklist to fill out. And you definitely wouldn't expect a core part of a Sonic story to be all the characters watching the recording of a man's insane ramblings in his last moments before the US military executed him by firing squad. (Not that I expect much of that to actually make it into the movie)
To be honest, Doug's got a point, it probably won't be as dark as it is in the games, it's going to be dark though...it is Shadow. Then again from the trailer...it also looks like they added a few things too so it might actually go darker.
You're so right, Doug. Nobody wants to see a road trip in a car with Sonic. That's why Shadow's spin-off series will be a road trip on a Harley-Davidson!🏍️
"I doubt it's gonna go dark" Comments: Hey man, just you wait! It's gonna be dark eith Maria's death scene! Honestly for me, after watching Knuckles, I doubt they'll go that dark and fans will be angered the way it was executed, wishing it would be like Aunt May's death in No Way Home.
Sonic fans are thrilled for Shadow's backstory; it's the kind of excitement Zach Snyder wishes people would have for his dark interpretations; nowhere else will you find people getting this pumped over a little girl getting merc'd.
I'm not kidding at the Sonic Symphony Orchestra they'll play clips from the games & movies and when a clip from Shadows backstory showed up, that clip probably had the 2nd loudest cheer, but the cheers are more about what comes after, the motivations, the snapping of shadows character he goes ape shit, his morals are a little messed up but that just means he'll grow and learn, in the mean time it's motorcycle rides & fight scenes 😎
As a lifelong Sonic fanatic (and you know what we can be like), my top three favorite Sonic characters have changed due to this trailer (at least for now). Number one (now and probably always): Nack the Weasel. Number Two: now Shadow. Number Three: Tails (who was formerly number two behind Nack). I cannot get over the fact that we are getting John Wick the Hedgehog. Insanity. We live in the only timeline that was insane enough to escape nuclear war.
“I doubt it will go dark.” “I don’t know much about shadows backstory.” Well Shadows backstory is actually pretty dark. It will be a pg movie of course but that moment where shadows backstory is revealed is going to be very close to being a pg 13 moment.
Shadow’s the epitome of the complex but palatable stories you can get away with in sonic that you kinda can’t in Mario. His story is one you can kinda see the turns coming a mile away but it’s ok because you love to see it.
I wasn’t all that excited until I heard Dr. R was coming back (Jim Carrey’s killing the role, cracks me up), and now that I’ve seen this, I’m mighty excited!!
I am looking forward to Keanu Reeves as Shadow. My girlfriend is hoping Amy Rose will be in this, and they have mentioned she might be featured, along with Rouge the Bat, as a post credit scene like Tails and Shadow were featured at the end of the 1st and 2nd movie. Just don't go overboard with the two Carreys like Robert Zemekis did for his Christmas Carol.
You're right. It's not gonna go Super Dark because if they went all in and showcased Shadow's *full* Backstory, they'd have to up the Rating! 😆 Still, as long as they genuinely take Shadow's Character and Backstory seriously enough, I'll be satisfied. 👍
Hey, Doug. I mostly agreed with you on the first sonic movie. It felt like they held sonic back by having it be live action, not setting it on the alternate earth from the games and putting in pop culture references. So, don’t feel ashamed. Having said that, this trailer does look interesting.
Oh Doug, you'll be in for a hell of time when you see Maria. Us Adventure fans have been waiting for this...and Chaos who I am surprised we still haven't seen yet
If liked Sonic 2, you'll really enjoy Sonic 3. The game it's based on, Sonic Adventure 2 is often seen as when Sonic peaked both story and game wise for Sonic fans. Plus for Shadow and Robotniks Grandfather (Could be changed to hos father here), and his Grandaughter Maria, it will hit you in the feel. If Sonic 2 was the Avengers Assemble of the Sonic movies, Sonic 3 will be Infinity War. Sonic 4, based on what I heared something from one the darkest, most story heavy Sonic games being mentioned in the Knuckles show, it could be the Endgame of sonic
What do you mean you don't think it's going to be that dark!? HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED THE SONIC ADVENTURE GAMES MY GUY!? And just to clarify his name isn't Papa robotnik that's just another way of saying grandfather And his name is Gerald robotnik who is eggman's grandfather
How dark Shadows Backstory heavily depends on the Context of his creation cause depending on how Shadow is Brought to life heavily effects the intensity of his story usually, like in the shadow game you’ve got Black Doom (actual name) whose essentially an eldritch alien whose caused tons of destruction across the cosmos and such.
From what I vividly remember when he was being created as a clone of sonic he made a friend who was a little girl who died and he basically lost his sh^t and that’s why he’s like that
Shadow's canonical backstory is QUITE dark. I don't know how much this movie is going to water it down though. Gerald Robotnik is still alive when, in the games, he was executed via firing squad.
Yes, it’s true that it’s not going to “Super Dark” like in the game Sonic Adventure 2 but it’s still going to be dark enough that would make an impact. I know that, I played that game. It’s still a light hearted fun but with a dark silver lining tone because of Shadow’s backstory.
Nobody tell him about Shadow’s backstory! Let’s leave it all a mystery for him. Let him relish in his blank slate that way when he sees the movie and witnesses how *dark* it truly is then the reaction to that will be so damn raw. It will be perfect. The Ultimate Reaction. 😈
I thought it was funny how they finally made Robotnik a fat guy, but the rest of the trailer looks as though he may drop the poundage again. Definitely amusing to see Carrey is also playing Gerald. I think I'm still most excited to see Keanu Reeves voicing Shadow. Perfect casting!
If the movie fully commits to Shadow’s story, it’ll get very dark, my guess is they won’t go all the way, but there is certainly going to be at least one real dark moment
I don't think they'll go *super* dark... But I can promise you that ten years from now there'll be so many "how did they put this in a children's movie" videos about it
I never care for this movies but the fact that they might put Shadow's backstory in this is golden... you all think they are going to give him a gun too?
Considering SEGA/Sonic Team *themselves* regret ever giving him a Gun, I seriously doubt it. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they have a Scene/Line poking fun of Shadow using Guns in StH. 😆
I thought it was pretty great, but I'm a little disappointed at seeing no signs of Rouge or Amy. I kind of would've preferred to see Chaos' story happen before Shadow's too, but I'll accept it as long as it doesn't suck.
As a fan of the Sonic franchise I am VERY excited. Out of all three films, it looks like this one will stick to the games the closest. And as I already said in another comment on another post, casting Keanu as Shadow is PERFECT!!!
Two crazy things about it: 1-crazy to think that it took Robotnik to have Jim Carrey star as the same character in more than 2 movies. 2-crazy that at three movies there still is no Amy.
My only complaint is revealing Robotnik in the trailer. Jim said he wouldn't reprise his role and yet it seems he lied. Would have been an awesome reveal in the theater.
I’m going to see it cause I adore three characters…. -Colleen O’Shaugnessey as Tails (I have a huge crush 😍 on her) -Keanu Reeves as Shadow (he’s totally cool 😎) AND…. -Jim Carrey as Dr. Ivo ‘Eggman’ Robotnik & Prof. Gerald Robotnik (he’s absolutely hilarious 🤣!!)
