The part where Maddie impersonates her own sister to get clearance MIGHT be a SatAM shout-out: there's a part in one episode where Sonic impersonates Robotnik's voice to get into a cell block, and Jaleel White does an impression of Jim Cummings that must be heard to be believed.
I’m surprised at how well adapted this was. I missed the “ultimate lifeform”/bio lizard, weird science aspect of the story, but the way they streamlined it and made it more about Shadow and Sonic have mirrored relationships with humans and revenge… that worked really well. Did you catch the bio lizard in the flashback where Shadow and Maria are watching a Kaiju movie? :)
I did notice that! I really enjoyed how they incorporated the Biolizard into the plot in some fashion that way, but I can easily understand why they cut the major presence of it to streamline the plot.
agree with everything you said, and after seeing it with my nephew, in a theater filled with a ton of kids, i also have a new admiration for the movie and everyone involved in making it, because it does such a good job communicating themes of found family, revenge, grief, and moving on after a monumental loss. All that in a way that was easy for my 8 year old nephew to understand, without becoming overwhelmed, confused, or TOO upset (we did both get pretty teary eyed at a couple of parts haha). and at the same time, they didn't dumb ANY of it down, i was never bored, i never felt like i was watching the typical "kids movie" because not once did it condescend to its audience. i really enjoyed that! tbh i hope sonic turns into fast and furious (kid friendly edition) and they make 10 of these things.
I'm glad you enjoyed the film so much! I definitely like your idea of having this become a Fast and Furious style series that gets people really invested.
Spoiler warning. S P O I L E R . . . . Love the review an in-depth spoiler talk! As for Tue post-credits scene, I think Sonic actually time travels to the bad future after that rematch race with Tails and Knuckles. The titles to the movie soundtrack support the Sonic CD storyline with "Green Hills, Good Future" for the race, and "The Edge of Tomorrow" for the mid-credits scene.
Thanks! Chrono Trigger is my favorite game and I saw that poster from a game store when I was in college. Unfortunately there was no brand associated with it that I can give you details on, but I'm glad you like the game!
I’m glad you wanna see those in the future! A Shadow analysis would be very fun for sure and I’m a massive fan of the character. I have some longer Sonic videos in mind but they’re still in the planning phases so keep an eye out!

@ even Shadow seeing the biolizard on TV and asking Maria if she thinks he’s a monster like that was a nice little nod!

To be honest, _I_ hope the franchise uses the Sonic characters to do other things. It'd be wonderful to see Team Chaotix in a 1940s noir adventure!
Great concept

If the next film is based on Sonic CD then the whole Time Travel aspect would make even more sense.
Exactly!

WHAT. That’s crazy!! I didn’t even think to look into the movie’s soundtrack but that’s so sick!
Wow😮
Been on a sonic 3 review binge since it was so dope but I have to ask, what is that Chrono Trigger poster in the back round? Awesome!!

No mention of how Chao were incorporated???? How dare you! 😅
I did realize this after and honestly I couldn't believe I forgot to mention them. I spent HUNDREDS of hours with my Chao Dino and Cash Money
I would love for you to make a video indepth on either shadow as a character in general or talking about sonic and the black knight story

@Kev-D-OG i will definitely do so and keep a eye out👍
