#sonic2 #hedgehog #reaction
I love how they used Knuckle's original personality of the naive lone wolf warrior, instead of the meat-head himbo he is today.
You say that as if he wasn't originally a meat head.
@@HappyPotat Yeah, they say that as if he wasn't originally a meathead because... he wasn't. Knuckles was never stupid, in fact he's incredibly smart, just naive from being alone all his life. There's a difference between naive and flat out stupid that modern interpretations of him don't seem to understand.
@@HappyPotat yeah. That’s because he wasn’t. Every real Knuckles fan knows he was never stupid, he was just naive and gullible as result of growing up in an empty environment
@@monovailable facts
@@HappyPotatif you think he was always some meat headed dumbass then you don’t truly know Knuckles as a character
One of the first movies I took my daughter to, and she's a huge Sonic fan now. I grew up with the original Sega and Sonic games and I'm so happy these movies were good.
Good way to introduce an old game franchise to the kid. My niece is 7 and I’ve been having her okay a lot of older games from old sega and Nintendo(albeit on my desktop with roms because there’s no way to get the games otherwise anymore or play them on any other platform hardly)
Male her play sonic and knuckles 3 bruh
17:50 I love how everytime he gets hit, he drops rings like the game
😲😲😲
Tom didn't have to punch Randall square in the face, but he did. And for that, he gets ALL my respect
Considering all the indirect bullying he was getting from him, It was deserved
True
The mushroom planet was both a poke at Mario and a reference to the first level in “Sonic and Knuckles” known as Mushroom Hill Zone.
Mannn show some love to the human characters too lol. They really care about Sonic and are basically like his parents. I found them to be really sweet in this movie
Exactly they were annoying tbh with their attitude to the humans
@@ACinemafanaticpositiveness I like that
@@ACinemafanatic Literally like they're just hating for no reason.
The Project Shadow weapon prototype was the Biolizard but Gerald was like "Yeah no. We need something smaller and who isn't mindless." so he made a deal with an alien and together they created Shadow the Hedgehog.
yeah i remember someone made a hard cut of shadow the hedgehog game and repeated the word over and over "black aliens"
I could go without the black aliens in the next movie. Just a focus on SA2s plot with the ark and nothing more
@@56brandonray Unfortunately for you, they've already stated that both SA2 and the Shadow game will be implemented into the Sonic 3 plot.
@@deadlysilence7474 they didn’t say anything of what part of either game, so for all you know they could just take some super ambiguous part of Shadows game while focusing on other more important things. Besides, Robotnik said he was an orphan in the first movie so I don’t see how the whole Gerald thing fits in
@@56brandonray Yeah, but there's nothing at all unique about the Shadow game's plot that would suggest they would be using any other plot thread than the Black Arm's/Eclipes Cannon storyline.
To be honest, I like the parent element to this because without uncle Chuck, or sonics actual parents and siblings, or sadly, long claw, may she rest in peace, these two fill in that void.
I bet that Uncle Chuck is not going to be in any future films. SEGA doesn't even acknowledge him in the official video games.
@@COSun25 I wouldn't be surprised, but thankfully Archie comics has established his existence as well as sonics, actual
parents
@@COSun25Sega can’t rlly acknowledge any of the Archie characters especially the family members of the main characters cuz of Ken Penders, who sued Sega
Knuckles is 1000% Ugandan knuckles , Eggman even started off with "I can show you the way" It's gold
Also in the og it was the master emerald with the chaos emeralds circling around it. and knuckles could always reassemble the master emerald when he collected all the shards
You can tell they cared about their film
I'm pretty sure it was either one of the writers or the director himself who deconfirmed the reference. just purely a coincidence, and not even a very crazy one.
@@birdflox1337 they made several direct references to be meme on top of casting Idris Elba of all people. Coincidence my eye. They've also referred to other memes. It's a well made self aware film and that's good. I don't see why anyone would deny that
@@ILikeCHEEZ9 I don't see how there were any other things that could've referenced that meme, or how Idris Elba could possibly have played a part in it. If you've got a problem with it, take it up with Jeff Fowler.
@@birdflox1337 then you don't know memes. Literally everyone I've encountered talks about how much both movies use memes and casting an African dude as knuckles on basis of 'he looks like him'?? Tsssh. It's not a coincidence and everyone loves it
“I’ll be happy to show you the way.”
Knuckles: “U kno de wey?”
The voice of Tails should be spot-on, she's been doing it for almost a decade lol 😆. That is Tails voice actor
So far one of the only main game series voice actors to come back for the SCU!
And this was Jim's final movie. He chose to retire during filming and announced it openly after it released. The studio openly stated that they won't recast robotnic and leaves it open if Jim choose to return one day.
He hasn't actually retired yet. He just said he's considering it. I think sonic 3 will probably be his last film
@@foursidekm Especially if it’s based off of Sonic Adventure 2’ story where Eggman actually considered turning over a new leaf at the end because of what his grandfather tried to do.
Good news everyone!!
HE'S BACK!!!! - Agent Stone
This aged gracefully 😁
This is the kind of movie where I'm able to make concessions for stuff that was clearly aimed more at kids/the general audience (dance scene, wedding stuff) because the rest of it is just so enjoyable. Hell, even those moments were enjoyable. It's just a great sequel all around. You could make an argument for the first film being more cohesive and this one being a little too long overall, but there's clearly an upward trend of quality. I can't wait for the third film (and the Knuckles show next year).
My god, I loved this movie. Can’t wait for Sonic 3 and the Knuckles show. Bring on the Sonic Cinematic Universe!
The _"SCU",_ you might say.
This was a very fun Sequel to watch and once again, Jim Carrey steals the show in every scene!
This movie had such nostalgia and comedy I really liked it. I was surprised how much my parent enjoyed it too!
For some weird reason I like the curtain intro, and wished it was on the uncut movie reactions.
Mushroom Hill Zone is the first stage of Sonic & Knuckles. That's the reference.
I enjoyed all the humans in this. They connect with the other characters and for me it's seamless. The only time I felt different was in Godzilla v Kong, all the humans seemed just lost & completely in the way and the human storyline didnt impact me.
Since Sonic set up a nice cast in the first one, I personally would've been disappointed if they werent in the sequel & beyond.
THANK YOU! Not a lot of people realise this and it's refreshing to see this comment!
what you say is true, but I think it would have been that the scene of the wife taking revenge, they would have left it for a post credits scene.
yeah, like they are sonic's parents like bruh ofc they are going to have some highlight bruh 💀
22:44
Little note on why Wade is on a scooter: Tails jacked his police car earlier, the one that was driven off a cliff. XD
36:07 - 37:05
To clarify for y'all on Shadow: He himself is the perfect result of the "Project: Shadow" experiment, the final boss you fight is the failed prototype, The Biolizard, which in itself is sort of a rip-off of Chaos, much like Shadow is to Sonic.
37:24 - 38:06
Actually no, the Chaos Emeralds floated away when Sonic depowered himself, they only have the Master Emerald. While in this movie it was presented in the story of being a result of the Emeralds forming together (at least that's the impression I get that everyone assumes at first), I think it's more like the Master Emerald should be thought of as a separate gem made to house and channel the Chaos Emerald's power, originally acting like a "safe" or a "conduit" for them, possibly with it's own power. I wonder if we'll ever see Hyper Sonic, I FEEL like we might have seen something like that with both Robtonik and the Echidna in the flashback who used the Master Emerald, although I feel like that's more akin to being the "dark super form" being a result of relying on Negative Chaos Energy, something that Chaos did in SA1. Which also helps explain why the Master Emerald and the regular Chaos Emeralds go dark after it's knocked out of Robotnik and it crumbling in Sonic's hands.
39:48 - 40:03
WELCOME TO THE SONIC FANDOM, SURAJ, THIS IS ALL WE DO!!! XD
Also possible spoiler for Sonic 3:
They mentioned that Shadow will stay a villain for the next movie and won't have the arc Knuckles has in this one. MAYBE he'll turn good in 4, but don't expect him to turn good in the next one. Plus considering the director used to work on Shadow's title game, safe to assume possibly more elements from that game to show up in the next one. Personally I hope Amy &/or Metal Sonic show up in the next one, but I don't know if they'll bring in them or other Sonic CD elements. I imagine it will pull more from SA2 and Shadow '05, and considering that the comics have stated the team exists, I'm hoping we get more Knuckles' Chaotix & SA1 specific elements for Knuckles spin-off show. Basically, I don't expect Chaos for the next movie, but I CAN SEE HIM POSSIBLY SHOWING UP in Knuckles' show.
Also it's unknown if Jim will return for the next movie considering he stated this would be his last role, but both him and the staff have said that if he DOES come back, he's getting the fat suit, so we'll be getting an even more accurate Eggman in the next one. Don't know if the design of the suit will be 1:1, but he'll at least be fat and egg shaped.
Never noticed that detail about Wades car, makes it a lot funnier 😂
I love how much all the side characters got their moments
Fun fact: this is the second time Jim Carrey has played a role in which he used a Green all powerful object.
(At 30:39) Sonic: You see, Eggman… you're not dealing with the "average" Hedgehog, anymore.
36:29 Yes, you are right, before shadow eggman's grandfather wanted to create the ultimate life form, and bio lizard (that alien) is the failed prototype, shadow is the real ultimate life form
(At 24:39) No, Knuckles is not "as fast" as Sonic. But like Knuckles, there are others like him whether they're flying base like Tails, speed base like Sonic, or power base like Knuckles, that can *keep up* with Sonic. Eggman, Tails, Amy Rose, Blaze, Silver, Espio, E-123 Omega, Metal Sonic, and Knuckles are among the few that can keep up with Sonic. Shadow the Hedgehog is the _only_ one "proven" to outrun him.
Can Shadow technically outrun them? I view them as a Goku/Vegeta situation where sonic is always slightly ahead of him
Metal Sonic has also outsped Sonic but basically Sonic is always the fastest at the end of the day
@@harlanglasper1227 basically but Shadow is supposed to be the stronger of the 2 bc of all his chaos energy powers and is only as fast as sonic bc of his hover shoes without them he's slower
The level of hype they brought from Sonic 1 to this movie leads me to believe that Sonic 3 will be CRACKED. I wonder how they'll do it with no Jimbotnik. And I wonder if they're going to the Sonic Adventure 2 story line with like Amy, Big, and Cream chilling with Sonic and Tails. Knuckles kicking it with Tikal. And will we see Rouge? And who will voice her? What about Chaos? What other game references will there be? Just seeing Shadow is super hype lol
The voice of Miles "Tales" Prowler better be good, lol! that's actually the OG voice actress for Tales voice lol!
I absolutely LOVED this movie my favorite part THE ENTIRE TIME WAS TAILS!!!
Also the fleetway reference when sonic went super
Loved this movie so much. Cannot wait for the 3rd one.
Omg Stone becoming Scratch the Rooster is a great idea!
DUDE!! I didn't even see the credit scene! I'm so hyped for Sonic 3 now.
fyi in the Archie Comics. Knuckles’ Dad is a crooked character. He experimented on baby Knuckles right after his mom gave Birth to him. “Turning the baby into a weapon”. He did it, because He had a nightmare that turned out to be a premonition of EggMan Comimg.
Mean Bean coffee bro I'm fucking dead, the reference game is on another level.
If for merchandising every main character had a Instagram account where the mc and antagonist/villain just roast each other.
I love to imagine Jim carry going "Hey sonic im about to hand you a nugget wisdom.. Coffee is just bean soup!!" and Sonic just copy exodia's pose
I cried. Like a baby. Multiple times. When watching this.
Fun Fact: James Marsden played as Scott Summer/Cyclops in the X-Men series.
Damn! Why'd this reaction take so long? I was starting to think it wouldn't come.
they really nailed with every pick for the voice of Sonic, Tails and Knuckles
You guys are lucky that you didn't get spoiled on Super Sonic, a Mcdonalds toy leaked it a month early that's how a lot of people got spoiled
Absolutely loved this sequel, I love how they’re taking huge key story notes from Sonic Adventures. Granted Chaos didn’t show up and we got teased for Shadow instead buuuut…That doesn’t mean he won’t show up. And other characters too! Aaaaahhhh I want it so bad!
I’ve been waiting for this reaction. Whether or not the movie is considered phenomenal depends on who you ask; I’m of the opinion that some of the writing with human characters (aside from Robotnik and his colleagues) prolongs the story in unnecessary ways, but everything the movie took from the games is excellent. Like always, Ben Schwartz and Jim Carrey are fantastic, and great to have Colleen O’ Shaughnessey reprise her role as Tails. Plus, Idris Elba. The dude not only made Knuckles return the to level of badassery he started as, compared to the charming but occasionally boring dumbass personality he’s been in most modern games, but he proved everyone who thought that they couldn’t make Knuckles sound sexy wrong! 😂
Can’t wait for Shadow in Part 3 (and potentially Amy, Rouge, Cream, and Cheese)
I found myself being extremely bored during the wedding stuff, we really didn't need it.
Don’t know why people don’t like the wedding scene. Sure, it may drag, but it could actually be a scene that could connect to the third movie. Since Rachel’s fiance is now on the heroes’ side, i believe there could be a circumstance regarding G.U.N in where he helps Tom and Maddie maybe infiltrate one of their bases. Many other things could happen, and so I don’t necessarily think that the wedding scene is useless. Sonic, tails, maybe even knuckles could be trapped in a G.U.N base. (Most likely sonic), and they could be trying to rescue him, with tails and knuckles at their side. Taking out soldiers left and right, and maybe on from there, more interesting things could happen. It’s a HUGE story opportunity for sonic 3 and i’m confident this is what they’re planning
The movie is good if you're a sonic or like family friendly action comedies if not its kinda generic and mediocre. As for knuckles he was never really a bad ass to begin so saying "return" is kinda weird and as for his portrayal in modern games its the same as its always been from the beginning and he has only been portrayed as a dumbass in boom which is a spinoff but whatever.
@@johnman8398 I treated it like a kids movie and thoroughly enjoyed myself
Idris Elba said he wouldn't make Knuckles sound sexy but he did, anyone in furry fandom find sonic, knuckles etc.. as sexy and we love Sonic X Tails or Sonic X Shadow or Rouge X Knuckles and Blaze X Silver.
Tails is voiced by the actual voice actor who voiced Tails in the game and cartoon...
I'm hoping for Keanu Reeves as the voice of Shadow.
There’s a rumor that Hayden Christensen is going to be the voice actor for Shadow, personally I think that role fits him since Anakin and Shadow have very familiar reasons of going towards the dark side
Well guess what he is
Lol
in the movie theatre before the movie starts sonic pops up and tells us not to spoil it, that's cool i think XD
Knuckles “Yoou have been warned, there iiiis nowhere to ruuun, you wiill pay the price, I WIIILLL TAKE YOUR LIFE!”
This movie is such a blast. If I was 10 years old, this movie probably would my favorite of all time
What's interesting is all three of these guys that The Echidna, The Fox, And The Hedgehog, are still kids.
Sonic is a teenager. Knuckles is a year older than him. and Tails is half Knuckles age.
Or to put it simply:
Sonic the Hedgehog is 15.
Knuckles the Echidna is 16.
And…
Miles "Tails" Prowler (play on words for Miles Per Hour) is 8.
And yet they stay that age. I want to see Sonic's kids please.
@@TheInsaneRazor123 with whom? Sally or Amy?
@@Samgreen90 Amy since she will always be Sonic's interest.
@@TheInsaneRazor123 ew she's usually much younger than him being like 10-12 years old
@@dragonwings123456789 Well that depends on what version of Amy in the end. People nowadays consider her to be almost or the same age as Sonic.
dude I love all the references to sonic games 2d and 3d and even stuff from sonic heroes, sonic and secret rings, sonic the hedgehog cartoons, sonic X anime, now sonic generations and sonic boom. I want to see the crew react to the new sonic frontiers trailer and listen to the new opening "vandalize" by One OK Rock
I'm a big SA2 nerd so I have to butt in here and say the hero/dark story levels in SA2 were not the same ! You guys are probably thinking of Sonic Heroes and/or Sonic 06.
Also Shadow is not a failed clone, he's the end result of a project meant to create "the ultimate lifeform". The endgame boss of SA2 is /his/ failed prototype, a deformed monstrosity that just wants to die and take the whole world down with itself, essentially. There's a number of Shadow clone(s) arc in subsequent games though (Eggman's doing), I imagine that's where the confusion comes from. Also Shadow was created using alien blood/DNA, that much is true. Basically pretty much all your memories are correct to a degree lol Shadow's backstory is kind of a camel (if you get that reference)
That all being said, this was a super enjoyable watch you guys :D your hype is contagious and I absolutely love how you picked up on all the game references unlike other reaction channels. Can't wait for the third one !
rewatching this made me even more hype for the new game
Did you guys hear that Preston (the TH-camr) managed to get in the movie playing volleyball? When he posted that video, I spent a while trying to find him.
Preston is literally in the part where Tom is playing volleyball with Rachel’s fiancé
16:19 aged so well
I loved this movie even more than the 1st, after seeing shadow I am going to adore the 3rd movie, im absolutely hyped.
I actually like the parts with the people. While those scenes are definitely the weakest parts of the film they help set up the plot and I found it pretty funny at times.
9:33 had me dying
IMO the best video game movie. I really liked this movie a lot.
I heard a theory that the third one was supposed to be the darkest one yet, and now I'm convinced they are going to kill of Tom and Maddie, almost like Aunt May in No Way Home
They probably aren’t gonna go that dark, I mean we already get child murder in the third one and there’s been news that the movie might be pg-13, we’ll just have to wait for it to be announced but I do agree it’s gonna be the darkest and slightly more mature film of this trilogy
@@Reyna_Amaturi I WAS ALMOST RIGHT
Great timing I almost got bough they weren’t going to react to the second one.
Glad I was wrong
Sure someone did point this wea out, but i remember hearing that Amy would be just at the end walking from a store with his bag full of random items fall randomly and just meet Sonic going "Hey why the rush?" or maybe Amy was the one dependant of the ice cream store and end in a "hi"
I probably enjoyed both of these more than my kids lol. They love them, don't get me wrong, but these movies do right by the adult fans too. Other video game movies should take notes.
Bruh is super aggressive about the parent thing and sonic for no reason xD
Normies Reaction: enjoying the movie
Normies Discussion: we liked the movie
Blind Wave reaction: enjoying the movie
Blind Wave discussion: we disliked the movie
I skipped Blind Wave's reaction but went to check the ending commentary just now. I can't believe they thought it was a bad movie. I usually agree with most of their views, but this one I just don't.
This was a fun movie. I'm with Normies here.
the movie was good, but there are jokes that are too easy
@@ImAlsoMerobiba its a bad movie that doesn't mean you still can't enjoy it. Junk food is bad but still good to eat
23:55 : It's a level in fact, "Labyrinth Zone" on Sonic 1 (Megadrive/Genesis) 😉
30:00 : Super Sonic is not a meme, it's in the Game from Sonic 1 ending (without played the character) then playable since Sonic 2 😉
"I'm MORE than okay!!!! I'm UPGRADED!!!!! SINISTER 3.0!!!! My game is next...LEVEL!!!!
- Dr. Robotnik/Eggman
Jim Carrey reminds me of when I was in the shower having full blown anime fights 30:46
Can’t believe there was no reaction to “I can show you de way”
Dude with the dreads sort of looks like dreamybull 😂😂😂
I love this Movie!
It was so good! There were so many refrences!
OMG SHADOW IS GOING TO BE AMAZING
Metal shirts are always dope. Love to see it
16:01 Awww
7:58 YESSSSSSS IT IS THE WOOOOOOORRRRSSSSTTTTTT
Whats really f'ed up is in the original Cartoons Robotnik has a method of turning people INTO MACHINES. It's genuinely horrifying seeing people get robotisized.
Why is there a timer in the corner if it doesn't even match the time stamp in the movie?
Probably for Patreon
This is one of those rare great Video Game to Movie adpatation
13:35 run 🤣
4:43 If sonic was threat by the hogham city i liked to see Sonic go "I'd fight them in court, but idk if they'll take "gotta go fast" as medical condition"
I never would have expected a movie this good after watching the very first Sonic Movie trailer all those years ago.
They finally did it🤣❤️🔥⏱️
This movie is peak sonic!
They're more concerned for the tv than sonic🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is a really good movie.
This was a very fun film. I'm a long time Sonic fan and I can not wait for Shadow the hedgehog in the sequel.
Nice shirt Micky 🤘
I really hope Jim comes back for Sonic 3, and I wish and hope that Shadow gets voiced by either Keanu Reeves or Robert Pattinson. If they decided to add Amy Rose, I wish and hope Anna Kendrick plays her.
I also wish Sonic 3 gets a 2hrs 30mins run-time and maybe get a PG-13 rating
The real shadow is a bio lizard with cannons
Apparently PrestonPlayz cameoed in this movie. He’s on Tom’s team playing volleyball in the yellow shirt
When they see Sonic 3, It'll be so good.
(At 27:45) Knuckles: Wakanda Forever! *AHHHHHHHHHH!*
Kaiserneko from Team Four Star suggested Keanu Reeves to voice Shadow.
NO one noticed prestonplays at the valley ball scene
Yes yes yes this is a great movie it just ramps up to son goku ssj56 level
Also congrats to Dameron for getting married
Amy has to come in because she is apart of the original squad
See, I didn't really like the unnecessary wedding until the reveal. Then I was pleasantly surprised.
I love this movie
Just wait till you see Sonic 3 that movie was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!
Man I absolutely loved this movie, didn't expect I would tbh. They missed a perfect opportunity in the beginning to use the meme line. "Do YoU kNoW tHe WaY". It would have been a 11/10 if they did lol
I bet you they're gonna add Amy to the cast for Sonic 3!!👍🏿👍🏿
30:58 why did he react like that?
They just want more Sonic and less humans.
@@ImAlsoMerobiba Whelp, he better get used to them because Sonic and Tom are father and son now
Sonic. The hedgehog is Saga.
