Still hoping we also get Amy Rose. And Rouge. And Omega. And Chaos. And Big the Cat.

 

[Noipoi]

We’re also getting Amy at least.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

not Marvel having their street heroes (Spider-Men, Spider-Woman, Luke Cage, Daredevil (Elektra), She-Hulk, Cloak & Dagger) fight a ridiculously large gang war while their mutants deal with a purge attempt...while the Avengers sit back and do nothing for either world shaking situations

 

[SnakeFighter64]

We’re also getting Amy at least.

Amy and Rouge are introduced as GUN Agents, Amy betrays GUN and Rouge hooks up with Shadow. Eggman and Stone show up with either Gamma or Omega, possibly one that gets rebuilt into the other after a fight. And it's mostly the plot of SA2 mixed with some elements of SA1, replacing the Biolizard with Chaos. Big the Cat is a cameo comedic element.

We're not getting Metal Sonic, are we...?

Microsoft once again shows interest in bringing Game Pass to Nintendo platforms

Will Nintendo pass or play?

gonintendo.com

I remember in 2021 Phil Spencer said there was no plans for Game Pass on Nintendo consoles but I guess Xbox is reconsidering. If it does happens, it is not going to be in the near future I bet.

So I went to go see Wish on a whim. It was…cute, and pretty and I’d take it over the all the garbage live action remakes but…yeah it’s definitely lackluster, especially as a anniversary celebration of the studio and I can definitely see where others are coming from in regards to it feeling hollow and riddled with corporate influence from all the meta references. It definitely feels like a first draft script which feels off because I read up on the original concept for the movie and I feel like that had a ton more potential. I wish the execs put more faith into the original version of this movie. I’d give it a 5/10, wait to see it on Disney+ if you wanna see it for yourselves though I will say **** in Boots: The Last Wish did everything this movie did but better.

One of my biggest disappointments was that I thought Once Upon a Studio was supposed to play before the movie! It just went straight to the movie for me. Kinda bummed since I wanted to see that short on the big screen.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Am I the only one thinking they're gonna have the real villain be Metal Sonic?

With the twist reveals it's actually Doctor Robotik who after his defeat in Sonic 2, he transferred his essence into the metal being he created at a whim. That would explain why GUN was unable to find his body.

Seeing a pattern here suddenly. Lol.

General Zod > Doomsday

King Ghidorah > Mechagodzilla

Doctor Robotik > Metal Sonic

 

[TMNTSSB4]

I wonder how Disney will try to recover from their deemed 2023 failures moving forward

hopefully without AI usage

That would be fitting. But I really want an on screen adaptation of Chaos so maybe that can be the true true final villain?

This is Sonic, not Bay Turtles: Out of the Shadows

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Can't wait to see Tom and Maddie have a newborn daughter that they name Maria, named after Tom's grandmother Maria herself, the one who befriended Shadow.

Sonic, Tails and Knuckles being the protective big brothers protect her with all their lives.

I'll say this much about Wish. I haven't seen the film, it doesn't honestly sound that great so far and the previews already had me questioning how good it'd be...but this song, as unconventional as it is for a villain song, is unironically a banger.

(This guy was marketed from a villain from the get-go instead of being another twist villain, so this song itself isn't really much of a spoiler.)

Lugia was saved from being a movie exclusive but MechaMew2 wasn't saved from being a musical exclusive?

Blasphemy!

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Sonic thrives on its huge cast of characters. I want at least one film that celebrates that.

MechaMew2 learned about Love and Friendship

And then blew up

It's not, because that particular bit of writing from Batman v Superman has been rightfully mocked to death and no one in Hollywood probably wants to repeat that.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

So it was alright for Godzilla/Kong to have those "Save Mothra" memes but we can't have this happening for Sonic/Shadow and Maria being the potential next "Save Martha"?

Just saying...It really rhymes.

You only have like five jokes and we’re tired of all of them. And your movie critiques are almost always bad faith and full of trash opinions.

I still like it in concept, but the execution was horrible. I do like the idea that this name, and it also being the name of his mother, brings Batman down out of his rage and makes him realize the “unstoppable dangerous alien” is just as much of a person as he is. It’s a good idea. They just executed it very poorly.

I didn't say anything about Godzilla vs Kong. I don't ****ing care about Kaiju movies, I wasn't involved in the hype for that movie and I know nothing about it. If I were a fan of Kaiju I probably still wouldn't find it funny especially for the bajilionth time.

Also this is minor but I don't understand how it fits? Like Bvs and GvK were both crossover event films, and Sonic 3 isn't that. It doesn't even have a variant of vs in the title. If it were, say, Sonic vs Mario, I would probably roll my eyes a bit less - not that I wouldn't still roll my eyes.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

You guys are no fun...

Moving along then.

 

[Wademan94]

I don’t know if the writers will be able to work in a ton of characters and make them feel like natural additions. I wouldn’t want the film to feel overbloated and have a good chunk of that cast feel like dead weight. That’s what the human characters aside from the villains are for

This is pretty much my take on it.

The thing that really felt awkward was Batman questioning and yelling "WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?!" as if there aren't other people out there named Martha.

I can’t help it if mirrors love my face.

Also, make Longclaw canon.

 

[KillerCage]

Robert Pattinson is still my choice for a Shadow casting

Yes!

Keanu Reeves.

Shadow should be voiced by Keanu Reeves.

Keanu is nowhere as funny a pick as Robert Pattinson!

Yeah but like, not just yet. We just barely got Tails and Knuckles.

Dumping 15 more characters into the film at once is a good way to make things messy real quick. We need to ease everyone in. There will be more Paramount Sonic content, no need to rush.

 

[TheMightyP]

I would assume that Sonic 3 adds Amy and Rouge.

Simply cause both are very important to Shadow's character

I don't use spotify but if I did my top artist would be Yoko Shimomura (I listened to all the KH soundtracks a lot).

My top non VGM artist would be Tyler the Creator.
