The thing with Sonic running on water actually carries over from canon, he can run so fast that he barely touches the water, so he can hop off of it like Deku Link from Zelda: Majora's Mask. Also yeah, hedgehogs CAN swim. There's not really a canon explaination to why Sonic specifically can't, the guy who designed him really just thought that hedgehogs couldn't swim and made it a game mechanic, which carried over to every adaptation. Honestly Sonic's ability to swim is weird and inconsistent throughout the franchise. He definitely knows how to swim but for some unexplained reason he can't swim through the water itself...? Except in the games where he sinks to the ocean floor...? I don't know lol.
The easy solve for sonic not always going at top speed to show that he’s an adrenaline junkie and does it for the thrill cuz it wouldn’t be as fun for him if he just blows everything out but when he get serious he can just do the impossible
I think it's funny that Riley took points off for more areas being animated because that was genuinely a positive for me. I hated Sonic in the normal world and I want to see him in his crazy worlds. I'm not even a huge Sonic person (I only played it at a friend's house when I was a kid) but my kid LOVES this movie and I felt like I could enjoy it more with him this time
12:00 I always say INTERNAL consistency is what is most important to good fiction storytelling. Things don't have to perfectly match our own universe, but everything within the "Story Universe" has to follow the same consistent internal logic in order to feel "Real".
tbh power levels within the games aren't all that consistent, eggman out runs sonic after being defeated if it's not the final boss fight (it's a running joke that eggman is faster than sonic), so it didn't bother me to see eggman dodge sonic's attacks same with the swimming part
Severance. I really really want to hear your thoughts about severance . this series was the first movie and series that I tried to review and was a really really good beautiful series but a little slow on the first episode and a scene I didn't like but it's just really good 9.5/10 For example 9.8 breaking bad
@@netforce0 I don't know I watched breaking bad two time and it was really really good but I wasn't that connected to the show I can't say exact problem with show but just sometimes wasn't that interesting some little times connection between me and show just breakers but it's the best in my list it's just the GOAT. Now I thinking I know what the problem is I really take movies too seriously and the characters are so well made in this show that watching some of them was a little hard for me because I hate them like Skyler and Skylers sister and brother-in-law , when he died I was really happpppy . I am sorry for writing too much but scoring is based on my experience not technically things I am 17 as cinama just now watching it .
Riley: I'm the centrist Also Riley: sonic and some of the other characters are "white coded" Real centrists: wtf is "white coded". I thought sonic was blue.
As a Sonic fan I'd say this was a fair review. I and the majority of Sonic fans have really enjoyed the film, it does enough to cater to Sonic fans and kids at the same time and it seems like it also did enough that you guys found a lot of it enjoyable too. Since I grew up with Sonic I really enjoy the characters and the references that they include in this film but I'm also fine accepting that not all the humour is aimed at me, characters flossing or certain corny jokes I can overlook because this film isn't written just for me the 30 year old Sonic fan. However they had quite a few jokes that were great, a lot of which you guys mentioned too. Things like the wedding scene (which I have heard some people didn't really enjoy) were just fun light hearted scenes which tied Sonic's story in with the Wachowskis. With the dance off scene, it was alright. It reminds me of the bar scene in the first movie but that slo-mo scene was overall a cooler moment than this dance off. You do need to suspend your disbelief to a certain extent in certain scenes although Knuckles shouldn't be able to match Sonic in speed he's always been stronger than Sonic. In Sonic 3 Knuckles punches the Chaos Emeralds out of Sonic while he is in Super Sonic form so that wasn't too hard to believe but other scenes Sonic just plays by the rules of the scene. Sonic snowboards in Sonic 3 and in Sonic Adventure so it was cool to see an action scene based on that. I think it does well to include plenty of action and humour to make it a fun light hearted film. It doesn't need to take itself too seriously, however I'm curious how they'll handle the next one with Shadow's character. If they continue with the same pattern we may see another Sonic character in the next film too, maybe someone like Rouge (in which case I would predict Sonic movie 4 to include Metal Sonic and Amy). Also, I have a feeling Jim Carrey will be back for the next one, most likely with a fat suit this time. I know he said he might be retiring but it didn't sound so certain so we'll see.
Consider this fan serviced. I knew you guys would enjoy the "Our Robocop Remake" Its an internet gem. Some scenes are very grotesque (alleyway rescue scene in particular).
Can you add a watch or not part? I would like to know if at the end of the day you would recommend seeing it for whatever reasons. It would help a lot in me listening to this and then seeing if it’s even worth watching
I understand the ratings and what not but there are some movies I would not rank high because they’re garbage but they can still be fun to watch for whatever reason. Like Star Wars Episode II, I would rate really poorly as well but it’s still an enjoyable movie to me personally to watch but with sonic 2, I am not really sure if it’s worth it or not after it’s all done, it sounds like a funny/cringy movie but does the funny outweigh the cringe lol
It just seems to get more and more 'anime style'. Even in this movie he went properly 'super saiyan', I am wondering if he is going to go 'ultra instinct' in the next one. I enjoyed the film (mostly nostalgia with the emeralds) and it was definitely better with more animated companions.
i can never watch your videos of the podcast because i literally cannot concentrate with david's unrivaled good looks distracting me. I shall listen to the audio version instead lmao

When youre gonna react to the second Tom Hollands Spider man film? Id love to hear your thoughts about Far From Home! Youve got the first and third one but youre missing the second one!
Of course glasses guy didn't consider keeping that useless sheriff in the movie woke but the black woman scene oh it must be a woke related reason. that sheriff was the most useless part in the movie
@@jonathanc3001 The wedding part isn't easily cutable because it involves the undercover agents and stuff but they could have made it shorter but it be much easier to cut out that Russian dance off

is is today everything day
Can't wait to hear your thoughts on everything everywhere all at once. Have a great weekend guys!
Still hasn't got a release date for the UK :(
My thoughts are that the movie was pretty meh . Got too repetitive that it got tiresome. The message also didn’t hit me hard and wasn’t very emotional
The easy solve for sonic not always going at top speed to show that he’s an adrenaline junkie and does it for the thrill cuz it wouldn’t be as fun for him if he just blows everything out but when he get serious he can just do the impossible
Just watching waiting for Everything Everywhere

Hey what's that keyboard next to David??

Not yelling at the guys for the delay, just telling y'all in the comments section to watch EEAAO while it's still in theatres!
You guys should look at a Netflix movie called BLAME! It's a CGI anime movie but the dialogue is minimal but the action is pretty cool
I loved this movie!! It's no where near perfect but holy crap as a sonic fan from childhood! Oh gimme more!!! And. And. SHADOW!!!????? LETS GOOO
They should have just hired the original Knuckles voice actor, Travis Willingham
Yay Carpool Critics, I missed you
tbh power levels within the games aren't all that consistent, eggman out runs sonic after being defeated if it's not the final boss fight (it's a running joke that eggman is faster than sonic), so it didn't bother me to see eggman dodge sonic's attacks
same with the swimming part

Watch the walk hard movie.
Knuckles was freaking hilarious and overall the movie was great, though the human parts were cringey. I took my 6 year old daughter, she loved it too.
Do Ambulance !

Far From Home was barely a movie, it was more like a porno without the snatch.
Are those garters on the table? :-o
Lol, imagine hating someone who's done so much for humanity, business, scientific progress and the environment just because they made some bad Tweets.
Great way to get over losing my robotics competition, thanks guys!

No mention of shadow and how that's going to work?!

KGF 2 have to be the next to be rev
can confirm, Limp Bizkit tickets are now useless.
Of course glasses guy didn't consider keeping that useless sheriff in the movie woke but the black woman scene oh it must be a woke related reason. that sheriff was the most useless part in the movie
The sheriff scene at least didn’t overstay it’s welcome. The wedding scene almost could have been an entire other movie on its own.
