Fun fact!

Sega of America screamed at JP home office that they were murdering their home console business with a series of terrible decisions in the 90s.

And Sega of Japan told them to jump in a lake and did their own thing anyways.

And then they nearly collapsed and had to become a software developer.

And then Sega of Japan proceeded to make games SO japanese that it would be physically impossible to sell the Saturn to a western audience in any capacity. Like Sakura Wars.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Ah

Arlo did a Sonic Movie 2 review

He did not like the first one, and from what I'm reading here, he did not like this one.

How shall I react to this, you ask? How dare someone not enjoy the same things as moi, you might think? Well, let me tell you, I will...

Go grab a cup of tea, my throat is quite dry.

Can I just say- this thumbnail is hillarious.

Mans about to get GUNNED. DOWN.

 

[MooMew64]

Well, at least he is one of the smaller amount of people (as it currently seems) who did not like it.

The Muppets were right to reject him, though.

I like Arlo, and as someone who's trying to get into content creation later this summer, I get it, I really do, this was an algorithm video. He very much disliked the first one, he doesn't care about Sonic at all in the first place, and most of all, it's a kids movie with kids movie humor that was never going to mix with (from what I can see) Arlo's constant want for things to take themselves super seriously and be big and bold all the time.

But yeah, let's not beat around the bush here, he did this because it's easy views from a fanbase that is the easiest bear in the world to poke and feeds an algorithm that's Sonic heavy ATM.

Basically: Sonic fans are the targeted demographic for the Sonic movie, and anyone outside of that will probably be whelmed. Shocking, I know.

Not so shocking to me, actually. By smaller amount of people who disliked it, I have no problem with that. I am only happy that many seem to like the movie, and that might lead for big bucks for Paramount. I can understand why it is not his kind of thing.

But yeah, the Muppets part was just a joke.

Butch somehow got hacked by Crypto Bros…cause yeah

This is clearly a hack but I 100% believe that NFTs are Something that Butch Hartman would like if he hasn't done them already.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I'm not even a Sonic fan but man Sonic 2 has officially replaced The Batman as my favorite film of this year so far.

It was just that fun!

A perfect example of fun escapism!

Can't wait to see how the third film goes. :D

 

[MooMew64]

You just know he's gonna milk the Mario movie for all it's worth, too.

...Granted, seeing as how my channel will be up and going by then, I can't promise I won't either.

Once that first trailer drops, it's gonna be all over nintendo youtube. All the way up to December.

 

[TheMightyP]

Imo Sonic 2 is an 8/10 but an 8/10 for Sonic is like a 3/10 for any other franchise.

Would be better if they focused on the humans and not Sonic's stupid animal friends.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Just learned that the announcer for Ninjala is the same as Smash 64's (Jeff Manning).

That's a shocker.

 

[Z25]

I skimmed through Arlo’s video and honestly he kinda has pretty bad takes.

Most of them aren’t problems because he forgets that this is a Hollywood film, that has obvious guidelines for how to follow the plot through. Even if that means nonsense Hollywood tropes. At the end of the day it’s a kids film that use whatever logic it needs to, to progress the plot.

Then if Arlo was actually aware a lot more on Sonic history, lore, and the fact that yes humans exist and have been important to multiple sonic medias, then he would realize he kinda can’t critique that.

Also he critiques the film for being too cartoony.

Which makes me wonder what the **** was he watching with Sonic previously or playing from sonic previously?

I respect Arlo and all, but sometimes his takes are just...


Well, I'm just gonna say that there's no reason to review a part of a franchise that you have literally 0 interest in, let alone force yourself to play/watch it.

Views.

 

[MooMew64]

Views.

As I said earlier, this was 100% for the views.

It's unfortunate, but guy's gotta put food on the table, I can't fault him for it. It's just YT business.

But yeah nah, I respect Arlo too and I share a lotta his takes on certain things, but then there are times like this where I'm more like .

 

[TheMightyP]

Also, I think I figired out my issue with Arlo.

Its that lately when he criticizes, it just turns into a full blown rant and a very poorly made, poorly researched, and hella biased one at that. Like, I don't mind critiques of my favorite franchises but people like Arlo really stretch that **** out and that **** is either terrible or just ****ing exhausting. If you wanna do that then just go the old school Mr. Enter route and make it ironically funny as ****.

He's fine otherwise though. He seems like a good person.

Spoiler

If Keanu Reeves isn't cast for the voice of Shadow. They really missed a huge opportunity there.

No one is more perfect for the role but him and no one can change my mind.

mans would be selling Vicky NFTs to make a quick thousand bucks

 

[Noipoi]

Can’t believe Doug Walker liked Sonic 2 and Arlo didn’t.

 

[TheMightyP]

Regarding Sonic 3, get Michael B. Jordan to voice Shadow

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Arlo didn’t.

What?

Who could not like Sonic 2 when it's pure escapism fun all the way through?

Blasphemy.

 

[Noipoi]

Regarding Sonic 3, get Michael B. Jordan to voice Shadow

Hey Amy

Only if he says this.

Can’t believe Doug Walker liked Sonic 2 and Arlo didn’t.

Doug Walker was apparently from a town that is in extremely close proximity to my own hometown and idk why I'm bringing that up again but it gets me every time.

For a while he was like the only notable dude from that town.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Still can't fathom how Sonic 2 has a 66% on Rotten Tomatoes. At least deserves an 80%.

How can such a fun escapism film have such low score?

I agree. Then again, I think reviewers wear themselves out with the many movies they see. It kind of has an impact on the scores they give to future movies, if you know what I mean.

 

[Lamperouge]

Hey Michael the Spikester , what kind of film is Sonic 2 again?

Honestly, I think younger Keanu would fit Shadow more than him today

Wrong Michael

You forgot the spoiler my guy

You mean the 'B' doesn't stand for Basketball?

Now this is never gonna happen, but you know how we're getting that Mega Man Netflix movie?

Hear me out. So we got a Sonic Movie, and getting Mega Man movie. And crossovers make the big bucks.


Worlds Collide movie.

 

[Wademan94]

Actually, after watching some of Marvel’s What If?, I think a good voice for Shadow would be Jeffrey Wright
