Over short distances, shadow doesn’t need an emerald. He can just use his internal energy to perform what’s called a chaos snap, which is his equivalent of the homing attack.
Jim Carrey cast as Robotnik was genius, and now Keanue as Shadow. These Sonic movies have no business being as good as they are. My kids are gonna be so hyped, and I will be as well.
@@mystilik I'd love it if they went back to SA1 after this, they could use it as an excuse to introduce more characters. Also seeing Shadow involved with Chaos would be cool.
honestly i hope they don't recreate all of sa2 in sonic 3 maybe save some for a part 2 where sonic goes searching around the world for the emeralds before shadow can collect them for the eclipse cannon. maybe some of them were sent back to sonics world and that way they can introduce the rest of the sonic cast like amy and rouge, obviously amy helps sonic and rouge helps shadow.
The way Robotnik says "If I can't rule the world, I might as well save it" sounds like he's uncertain of something, like he might sacrifice himself to stop something?
I dont care what people say, tom is actually a good human character for the sonic franchise cause he's not useless does he know what the hell is going on absolutely not but he runs with it and i love him for it
Naah, Eggman's gonna take advantage and betray the team. He's evil to the core. So many times Eggman wanted to "Save" the world, but we all know he's gonna still try to conquer it. He is the Eggman.
I’m guessing they just never executed Gerald and he’s going to be actively putting his revenge plan into motion in the movie, or it’s gonna be like a robot Gerald built to enact his revenge plan.
3:07 I get it now both commanders are the same person and it tracks he had a hard time trusting sonic due to shadow. and a sort of general lane moment, but it was touching to see he tells sonic he was like him, but faced tragedy.
As a Sonic fan (sorry, going to be a nerd here) Mobius was the name in the Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon with the Freedom Fighters and the Sonic Archie Comics. The game universe I don't believe has ever been called Mobius, and no connections have been made outside a weird Easter egg from a Sonic Spinball bonus stage where Sonic saves them (I think this was later labelled non-canon). As far as the two-world theory (the theory that Sonic and his friends are either in a world like Earth with humans or "their own world") that has recently been debunked, so every game has now occurred on the same planet despite the fact that yes, it's weird that games like Sonic Forces has literally no mention of G.U.N. TL;DR Mobius is a separate Canon to the games (at least right now) and there's always been one world as recently confirmed despite confusing interviews with developers in the past! Anyway great video! Can't wait for Sonic 3! Hoping that Space Colony Ark will be at least mentioned in the movie!
It’s frustrating that Sega can’t be consistent when it comes to stuff like the world. Another example of them not being consistent is when they keep forgetting the moon has basically had a whole blown in it, but it keeps showing up as whole in subsequent games.
@@ChanningChea That is probably cause of the writer for the Archie Sonic comics still owns all the original stuff he made for that comic run which might include Mobius idk.
@@ChanningCheaiirc the excuse for the moon not being half blown up was "it turned however many degrees so the exploded half isn't visible" which is really stupid
I think Sonic Forces and Sonic Mania confirmed the Two World theory, not debunk it. Mania ended with Sonic warping to a different dimension, where Forces takes place. Dialogue in Forces confirmed that Classic Sonic was from another world, not a past version of Sonic. From that, we can deduce that the games that use Sonic's classic design take place in one world, while the games that use his modern design take place on another. At the very least, it would explain why the 2D games take place in cartoonish landscapes, while the 3D ones feel more grounded (aside from the freeway loop de loops). I think that Frontiers does contradict this a bit, since conversations between characters do mention events from the 2D games. These could be waved away by saying similar events happened on Earth prior to Sonic Adventure. The developers have also said that Frontiers was the next template game, like how the original game and Sonic Adventure influenced future titles. With that in mind, Frontiers could be considered a soft reboot for the story.
I like that they are leaning into the video game lore. There have been some movies based on video games that seem to want to change the lore. But with Detective Pikachu, Sonic, and Super Mario Bros, they are doing them right.
I mean most of Sonic's strongest villains all come from space. They are all some Eldritch Terror-Like Gods wanting to destroy the Universe. Even the secret boss in Sonic Frontiers 'The End' doubles down on this again. Sonic is always destined to fight Universe destroying threats with the help of his friends and former enemies.
What really would've been dope, and I know they probably can't do it, but it'd be awesome if they practically made Sonic 3 a live action version of Sonic A2:Battle
YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Love The First Two Sonic Movies So Much and This looks like it's going to be The Best One Yet!!! I'M SOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!! Shadow looks INSANE!!!
Hopefully they do Shadow right. There are plenty of later games and shows that have him edgy af for no reason. There IS a reason and based on the trailer it looks like they’re going to explain it properly 🤞
Coool I was really excited to see how shadows powers and personality differ from the other team. The teleportation is nice touch with all them having a different ability
So excited for this! Had the same thought of Robotnik teaming up with them but I agree, it’s better than using the same villain for three straight films. And as a bonus, we get more Jim Carrey
I feel like theres so many things they need to do in order for this movie to be amazing, we need rhe space colony ark. We need the biolizard , we need radical highway to playing while shadow and sonic fight, and we need them both teaming up and going super for the final hazard
I took the Live and Learn song fact as the song, I Am (All Of Me), because it feels like a shadow centered movie. And I Am (All Of Me) was shadows song
never played the games, but i do know some of the lore(Sonic X helped a bit) and Shadow is awesome! he has to say "CHAOS CONTROL!" or "I am the ultimate lifeform" in Sonic 3
I can’t remember but doesn’t Shadow go Super Shadow in the games when facing the bio lizard? I wonder if that’s going to be the next plot considering they doing Shadow
Sonic adventure 2 Battle was my first intro to sonic in general and it is still one of my favorite nostalgic games. Seeing Shadow on the big screen is gonna be amazing and I am BEGGING THEM give us Hyper Shadow and Super Sonic fighting the prototype as well as a version of Escape From the City PLEASE!!!!
I really liked the first one, thought the second one wasn’t as good but still a nice follow up. I wasn’t expecting a third movie but I’m actually pretty excited for it.
Two characters are named John; Wick and Constantin Two are Johnny; Utah and Mnemonic And two John adjacent characters; Jonathan Harker and Don John Six is a fair number of John like names to be fair, but only two have his first name as John.
@@ObsessiveGeek John and Johnny are literally nicknames for the name Jonathan Thanks for playing, but you gave so many examples, whilst talking like he isnt called John that much 😄
@@gazwilliams-nc7jp Both are derived from Johnathan , not necessarily nicknames. I’ve met plenty of Johns and a handful of Johnny’s. That was their given names.
@@gazwilliams-nc7jp As I say they can be but they’re also all individual names in their own right. I did state the other names were “John adjacent” but still not specifically John. Six is still a good number of characters that have similar names. But details are always relevant.
Wouldnt that spaceship thing coming out of the water be the ARK? Its different than the games of course, but what the hell else could it be? Maybe Shadow is taking it up to space?
If we get the ultimate lifeform fight at the end... good lord i will cry. I'd imagine (and hope) they do the same thing that Deadpool & Wolverine did and make the trailer only using stuff from the first half of the movie

Okay
Commander Walters never appeared in the Sonic games. Commander Walters appeared only in Sonic cinematic universe.
Over short distances, shadow doesn’t need an emerald. He can just use his internal energy to perform what’s called a chaos snap, which is his equivalent of the homing attack.
Nice call!
NERD!! Jk I didn't know that. Thanks for the info
Yeah, although the distance isn't THAT short, like he can teleport a good 50-100m without the emeralds.
Can shadow time travel in any other instances cuz it might be the reason gerald is alive n gonna be the main villain
Shadow helps trigger multiple Time Vortexes in Sonic 06 using Chaos Control
Although usually it took two people with atleast 2 chaos emeralds
"People keep on asking me if I'm back and I really haven't had an answer. But now, yeah Sonic, I think I'm back!"
But edgier
😂😂
Shadow Killed 3 men in a bar, with a pencil.
Baba yaga is coming for them
omg this line would be sooooooooo good for a sequel movie with Shadow coming back.
Jim Carrey cast as Robotnik was genius, and now Keanue as Shadow. These Sonic movies have no business being as good as they are. My kids are gonna be so hyped, and I will be as well.
I can’t see a single frame of SA 2 anymore without immediately saying “aayyyy it’s me, the devil”
That's the Shadow the Hedgehog fandub, The SA2 dub is a different thing
SA2 Had the iconic: "I've come to make an announcement..." rant! 🤣
If this movie ends with Sonic and Shadow fighting Biolizard in space I'll lose my mind lol
Gods the fact that we aren’t getting Chaos likely, I’d be so down to see the pair fighting the Biolizard!
Be so damn good!
@@mystilik I'd love it if they went back to SA1 after this, they could use it as an excuse to introduce more characters. Also seeing Shadow involved with Chaos would be cool.
@@Skyfecta Isnt that what happened in Sonic X? iirc They did SA2 first than SA1 in Sonic X.
@@jonhawk117nah they did SA1 first
honestly i hope they don't recreate all of sa2 in sonic 3 maybe save some for a part 2 where sonic goes searching around the world for the emeralds before shadow can collect them for the eclipse cannon. maybe some of them were sent back to sonics world and that way they can introduce the rest of the sonic cast like amy and rouge, obviously amy helps sonic and rouge helps shadow.
The game references gonna go crazy
True. God is good
If there isn't a live and learn song in the movie imma cry
@@NinjaChief101 love the Dr Robotnik theme remix playing when his robot comes outta the water reminds me of his oil city final boss round
See I think the quill Sonic gives Robotnic will be the power source for Metal
What kind of Metal you talking about, Thrash, Symphonic, Groove, Blackened Death, Melodic Death, Tech Death, Death, Deathcore, Folk, Nu, Prog, Grindcore, Crabcore, or... Metal Sonic?

Good thinking!

I love how nobody can get mad at Keanu for the way he says things (his edgy sounding voice) because that’s just how he is 😂😂😂😂
Bc John wick 😅 we not dealing with Bill and Ted anymore
he’s a terrible choice for shadow
@@jettysfuneral why?
@@jettysfuneralno it’s a match made in literal heaven

Now a golden opportunity

8:30 I wasn't ready for this nostalgia explosion when seeing the trailer. It is definitely Live and Learn from Sonic Adventure 2.
Naah, Eggman's gonna take advantage and betray the team. He's evil to the core. So many times Eggman wanted to "Save" the world, but we all know he's gonna still try to conquer it. He is the Eggman.
Coo coo ca choo
It's what he is,
He is the Eggman,
He's got the master plan,
He is the Eggman,
With the master plan
I feel that we have gotten 90s Jim Carrey back with the Sonic movies
Theaters are gonna implode if Live and Learn plays during the final battle.
Shadow better use a gun at LEAST once
I don’t think they will
If he doesn't, it'd be like John Wick without a gun or John Constantine without a cigarette! 😉
@@marzin0mbklmao nt Constantine without a ciggy
@@marzin0mbk 💀💀💀
Y’all are forgetting this is gonna be a PNG movie and they can’t have guns
I’m guessing they just never executed Gerald and he’s going to be actively putting his revenge plan into motion in the movie, or it’s gonna be like a robot Gerald built to enact his revenge plan.
That's what I'm thinking, after Maria's death, Gerald was taken in and escaped to find his grandson
Gerald might have a Metal Sonic built, that can be powered with Sonic's quill.
@@VergilDMC Dang that would be cool for the final battle!
A robot Gerald could inspire Ivo to make a robot replica, setting up Metal Sonic...
3:07 I get it now both commanders are the same person and it tracks he had a hard time trusting sonic due to shadow. and a sort of general lane moment, but it was touching to see he tells sonic he was like him, but faced tragedy.

1. Akira slide hype.
2. Adventure 2 logo!
3. GERALD!!!
2 Jim carry's, Idris Elba, and Keanu Reeves!!!!!!! Ill take 1 theater worth of tickets please!
Something I realized is that eggman said he’d be back in time for Christmas I think he held up on his word
Edris, Keanu and Jim Carrey. In a video game movie together?? It’s just… top tier!
I hope they play, “I Am All Of Me” in a fight sequence, and hopefully give Shadow a gun.
Give Shadow a gun and let him end a fight the same way Indiana jones did, because it's a waste of time and CGI :P
Give Shadow guns, lots of guns.
I hope they do space colony ark, just because i wanna see the announcement
I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE
Everybody makes sure them dogs are safe otherwise going to be dealing with shadow yaga.
Not the Shabayaga?!
I just remembered that Sonic really likes Keanu, and now his fighting him😂
Fun fact: Sonic film director Jeff Fowler got his start in the entertainment business as a VFX artist in the Shadow videogame.
1:05 Sorry but i have to say this. Big ben is the BELL in the clock tower. Not the clock tower itself
I got this straight away lol must be a British thing to catch to catch out lol 😂
Yeeeaahhhh but I'ma still call the whole thing Big Ben if ya feel me 🤙
Wait then what's the Tower called?

6:19 oh no not shibuya incident all over again
you made a joke about being in space for 4 but god id love a colors movie
SA2 final acts in space, Unleashed opening cutscene was in space, Colors whole game was in space
Seems Sonic is destined for space

I thought at the end of the trailer they were going to do what they did at the end of the game intro 😂
I think the fact that they go to the UK and Tokyo is a reference to the Mario and Sonic at the olympic games lol
Its crazy to see how far the Sonic movie has come. I remember when people were talking down abt for the 1st even after the update to sonic.
He lose a dog, now he lose another friend
YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Love The First Two Sonic Movies So Much and This looks like it's going to be The Best One Yet!!! I'M SOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!! Shadow looks INSANE!!!

i was not expecting gerald to be alive
But then again, I was expecting not to expect something so it doesn't count
@@GottaGoCraft😂 that part
I was shockd on that as well
He was probably banished to another world and found his way back. How else would he have gotten that mustache?
2:25 isn’t that angel island?
No, it’s Green Hill, South Island (not to be confused with Green Hills, Montana)
The Islands are all supposed to be different places, personally I've always considered it the same island throughout the games
2:33 no this is Robotnik’s father’s secret lab im pretty sure as said in the end of sonic 2
The director, Jeff Fowler worked on the CGI cut scenes on Shadow: The Hedgehog game in 2005
6:42 Shadow can actually teleport short distances without any chaos emeralds (Kinda like Deadpool from the game)
2 best movie of the year incoming 🔥
1:23 we will probably visit space in this movie because of the space station shadow is from
I can never un-notice how similar Shadow's and MewTwo's origin stories are.
Shadow is cooler
Coool I was really excited to see how shadows powers and personality differ from the other team. The teleportation is nice touch with all them having a different ability
SHADOW FOR THE HOLIDAYS, LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
paramount and sega doing gods work right now 😭🙏😇
Susprised you didnt say 5:53 is a reference to the scene from intro to Shadow the Hedgehog game
Thank you for covering the non comic book stuff, These movies consistently get me hyped for silly fun
um, actually, he doesn't play multiple roles in that film; he just has a lot of different disguises
6:52 its implied ahadow can use some level of minor chaos control.
So excited for this! Had the same thought of Robotnik teaming up with them but I agree, it’s better than using the same villain for three straight films. And as a bonus, we get more Jim Carrey
I will be very sad if we don’t get to see ARK in space
We got Idris and Keanu in another project now!!!!
The energy that you with is equal to eavoss. Love it.. truly coming up.
My only disappointment is that Gerald robotic isn't serious like his game counterpart
To be fair, we've never seen him with his grandson I believe, so that could break his composure.
SHADOW THE BADDEST BOY🖤❤️
I feel like theres so many things they need to do in order for this movie to be amazing, we need rhe space colony ark. We need the biolizard , we need radical highway to playing while shadow and sonic fight, and we need them both teaming up and going super for the final hazard
Let's Go Keanu
Hey, at least we can see a Silverhand vs Reed fight go down.
IYKYK.
y'all already know we here sending those daily positive vibes from Houston everyone!
I used to love shadow as a kid, I’m glad they did this sonic series Justice.
Best part it my Birthday when it comes out
5:52 "oh he's 50!"
Best trailer EVER, gives me chills!
I took the Live and Learn song fact as the song, I Am (All Of Me), because it feels like a shadow centered movie. And I Am (All Of Me) was shadows song
I have never been interested in Sonic until this review. Great Job! You sold me. lol.
Brilliant video looking forward to seeing this
Yessss thanks for doing this!!!
never played the games, but i do know some of the lore(Sonic X helped a bit) and Shadow is awesome! he has to say "CHAOS CONTROL!" or "I am the ultimate lifeform" in Sonic 3
Not even a day and the gang already posted a master piece 👌
I really hope they eventually do Chaos and bring on Big and Amy
I can’t remember but doesn’t Shadow go Super Shadow in the games when facing the bio lizard? I wonder if that’s going to be the next plot considering they doing Shadow
Yes at the end of SA2 sonic and shadow go super
I had no idea the novelization called his planet Mobius. Thats his homeworod from the 90s cartoon!!!

It's Rouge for me but Shadow is definitely even cooler in combat. She's just so glam, I can't deny my love
1:25 no yes lets go to space for kick ass sonic environments locations
My guess when shadow says when we're done he is most likely referring to at least Gerald robotnic taking revenge on the world for the loss of Maria
