I still dont understand why they didnt make a cd inspired movie after 2 with amy and metal!
In general they really rush through material! They skipped cd and adventure and combined 3 games of plot into one!
Im just saying movie 3 might be the end! because a lot of the following games and characters dont work without the skipped setup!

Well, they are not in order, but there is this.

Why should they make movies dedicated to single games though?

Why should they make movies dedicated to single games though?

Because each game has enough potential for a movie plot?
Except maybe 3 and knuckles those should be together!
CD for example introduces amy, metal sonic, time travel and an entire hidden planet (that would fit really well into the movie world)
Also sonic movie 3 is based on a single game Sonic adventure 2!
But they shouldve made an adventure 1 movie first! also a cd movie to introduce amy and metal!

I saw this template and I couldn't resist.

Mario Movie: Well Peach, you're a pretty important character to this franchise, why don't we give you a starring role as Mario's equal partner and mentor who fights alongside him throughout the film?

Sonic Movie: Well Amy, I think so little of you and you're so unimportant to my vision of this franchise, I'm going to make 3 entire movies excluding you and then I'm going to prioritize characters that debuted multiple console generations after you and cut you out of a direct game adaptation's story that you played a big part in.

As I mentioned Rosalina being an almost certainty for the 2nd or 3rd Mario movie with the Luma cameo, and Rogue being cut alongside Amy for the adaptation of Sonic Adventure 2, I guess you could replace Peach and Amy with "Mario girls/Princesses" and "Sonic girls/heroines" in general as well.

I do think the Mario Movie Pushed Peach a bit too hard IMO! (although her big role might feel more justified if the sequels gives luigi more to do)
However this is still vastly prefarable over amy being mia
Like i get rogue she isnt that important but AMY Shouldve been in a Sonic Cd Movie with Metal Sonic (This movie shouldve been movie 3) And then shouldve returned in the SA2 Movie and sequels!

Peach: Hey Zelda, how are you doing?

Zelda: Great, Nintendo just gave me my own game where I'm the main protagonist!

Peach: Really, that's wonderful! I also just got my own game where I'm the main protagonist! And I got a juicy starring main role in the movie, exposing me to millions of casual audience members who've never played the games. And now girls everywhere are dressing up as me for Halloween! What about you, Amy?

Amy: Sega decided to skip over me, a Genesis era character for the 2nd Sonic Movie, while including both Tails and Knuckles. Then they decided to skip over both me and Rogue for the 3rd movie based on SA2 while including Shadow, despite us playing crucial roles in the games, I guess they'd rather spend time on a truckload of human characters that have never played any roles whatsoever in the games. And they somehow had time to give Knuckles an entire TV series, with even more human characters, but not even introduce me at all. Millions of casual audience members who see the Sonic movies will now see me as 5th bananas to Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Knuckles, and at best I'll be saved for the 4th movie, despite Hollywood audiences traditionally losing interest after the 3rd (hence the massive amounts of trilogies in movies).

Peach and Zelda: ...that's rough, buddy. We used to be damsels in distresses all the time while you were playable in main series platformers all the time in the early Dreamcast era. Now we're getting treated better than you... how the tables have turned.

To be fair, once you look past her exclusion in the movies, Amy's doing pretty well, I think. Was playable for the first time in a modern-style Sonic in 18 years with Frontiers/Dream Team and had a playable role in Superstars.

She's doing fine in the games, I'll acknowledge that fully.

The problem is that movies tend to garner much larger audiences than games do. It's why they decided to adapt games like The Last of Us to TV shows, because they knew there was a massive demographic of people who would never touch a game, but they still wanted their story to reach that audience.

The Mario movie had to reach massive audiences of people who had never played the games in order to be successful. And the movie almost certainly did pull in at least some new fans who had their first exposure to the franchise with the movie, and now wanted to check out the games. And first impressions are extremely important, so if a character misses out on the movie, it could have a large effect on attracting new fans for that character in the games, and if they don't attract new fans, they might lose prominence within the games, it's a vicious cycle.

Remember that explosion in kids wearing Mario and Luigi costumes for Halloween in 2023? Lots of that probably had to do with the movie. And kids can become lifelong fans from that exposure to the franchise through the films.

And is Dream Team still confined to Apple Arcade? Really sucks that the first game in a long time to have Amy, Rogue, and Cream playable are trapped on a platform that very few people have.

I started watching a SonicX Shadow generations lets play and my god its so cool!
I mean sonic has come a long way from Colors back then they were afraid to reffrence anything "Cringe" And now they brought back black doom Based choice!
Also the quiet version of All hail shadow in the openworld is really cool!

Still Takes a while till the letsplay is finnished he only beat the first boss!

 

[fogbadge]

So I just finished shadow generations. couple things in regards to the plot

Spoiler

what on earth was the point of the emerald switch? For that matter what was the point of bringing back the fake emerald at all if you’re not gonna use it for anything? He didn’t need to hold onto the real one he can use chaos control with the fake.

 

[Oracle Link]

I do have to say Like or hate Modern Amy they really shouldnt mess with the Characterisation of her and other in older Titles!
If they had to have the less clingy amy in game they couldve had Frontiers Amy appearing in shadows Campain to reffrence her modern portrayal!

Adfding a couple of reffrences is fine but this sets a dangerous sentiment heck what if they go back and change some of amys best appearnces? (Sa 1 and 2) were shes balanced between compassion and fangirling!

This may not be game related, but movie trailer time!
