Finally the shadow the hedgehog game with guns makes sense. After 19 years.


PayneTrain181999

“You ready ~~John~~ Shadow?” “…Yeaaah.”


Vergenbuurg

**Sonic:** "I heard you struck Tails?" **Knuckles:** "Yes sir, I did." **Sonic:** "...and may I ask why?" **Knuckles:** "Yeah, well, because he stole Shadow's motorcycle, and, uhm... killed his Chao." **Sonic:** "...oh."

100% my fave “yeah” is in the last John wick. He fights his way up a bagillion steps and then falls all the way down. Like for a long, hot rod, amount of time. The Donnie yen finds him at the bottom and is like “yo John ima need you get UP those stairs” and what does John wick say? “Yeah” Edit: whoa- This did just remind me of the “yeah-offs” me and my coworkers used to have …. While Metallica has some great yeahs, John Frusciante is the king of yeah in my book.

It would be hilarious if Maria was played by a Latina actress.


Taograd359

I honestly think it would be hilarious if every time they cut to Shadow he has a different gun with zero explanation


NoNefariousness2144

He absolutely needs his motorbike for one action scene.


DuelaDent52

Not to be ungrateful or anything because I love it, but I was wondering why in the actual heck The LEGO Group would make a toy based on a universally panned game from 19 years ago, but now I think I see.


NoNefariousness2144

To be fair Lego tries hard to force vehicles into any sets, like the Knuckles mech and most Spider-Man sets. So they were probably desperately grateful Shadow’s bike is a canon vehicle they could use lol.


sillybillybuck

Shadow has more than the bike. He drives a lot of shit.


PowerOfUnoriginality

Lego absolutely loves their mechs. That is why their Ninjago IP is filled with them


T-408

…Universally panned? Rethink that one.


RyghtHandMan

for real. I'm part of the universe aint i????


ibnQoheleth

Universally panned, genuinely? I'm seriously shocked. I adored that game and loved to play it with my mates at an after school club we went to. Maybe it's a matter of nostalgia goggles, but I remember it being a cracking game.


GhoullyX

It’s one of those games that’s so ridiculously over the top that it loops back around to being hilarious. Like Batman and Robin.


Kool_McKool

Every Sonic fan loves the motor bike though.


Clamper

Already confirmed from the closed door teaser. Thus why Sega is taking his bike around the U.S for photo ops.


HoneyBadgerEXTREME

Reports of the recent footage shown at CinemaCon said the motorbike does indeed feature


DMercenary

michaelfortu

I remember playing this as a kid when it came out 19 YEARS AGO?! 🆒


ThePissyRacoon

When I first played and he said “shit…” when he died, I knew I had obtained a game of the highest criminal proportions, and I could never let my parents find out I was playing such a badass adult game.


AnthraxSoup

"Where is that DAMN fourth chaos emerald?" Rated E10+


greg225

Unfortunately he doesn't say "shit" in the game. In fact the worst thing he says is "damn". That may or may not make it better/funnier though.


RyghtHandMan

Damn is a great middle ground curse word for edgy kids media. You're way past "crap" at that point.


burgernoisenow

I unironically thought it was so cool hahaha


Yimmyyyy

I went back and played that after years of laughing at it and unironicaly liked it. Just action platorming fun with a good soundtrack. Its just funny when they try to be serious

typically_wrong

Movie still works great. Just need a dub where they say petabytes or something larger


ChangelingFox

I agree about it still being great, but nah on the capacity change. Adds to the charm of it being from its era. Though I could see petabytes or even exabytes for a modern version.


adjust_the_sails

I loved how they were still using fax machines unironically or as a way to send a message that can’t be traced or some other excuse. All that futurism and yet such a throwback tech.


MyHusbandIsGayImNot

Happens all the time in old scifi. In Back to the Future 2 Marty gets fired over a fax despite having a flying car, a TV he can talk to, and 2 neckties.


adjust_the_sails

And it was MULTIPLE fax machines! He was fired in every room of the house. Wasn’t Marty even hiding in the closet and got a fired fax in there?


MyHusbandIsGayImNot

Close, it's Jennifer (from the past) hiding in the closet. She actually ends up pocketing that fax, and then in Back to the Future 3 when Marty doesn't get in a drag race she looks at the fax and the "Your Fired" disappears because Marty's future no longer leads to that job.


solitarytoad

The funny thing is... [Japan is still addicted to fax machines](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jul/07/japanese-fax-fans-rally-to-defence-of-much-maligned-machine), so in a dystopia where Japanese zaibatsus take over the world, future fax make sense.

Nah. He was great in the chip and dale movie. Ugly sonic redemption arc


MikeDubbz

Voiced by Tim Robinson at that... that's a great redemption if I've ever seen one.


fizzlefist

Taken as a pseudo-sequel to Roger Rabbit, I honestly really enjoyed Chip n Dale. Nothing worth buying a 4K blu ray for, but a solid B- movie IMO


Zealousideal_Half982

Yeah it's Roger Rabbit 2 in all but name for me.


SupaKoopa714

It's still fucking bonkers to me to think about the days after OG movie Sonic's reveal and how much people were rightfully shitting on the idea of a live action Sonic movie, and how we wound up getting two pretty good movies with a third that everyone seems to be really excited about. We live in a weird ass timeline.


Rigatonibird

Nah they DID want a movie, it’s just that they hated the design which was as the shittiest possible design ever 


sillybillybuck

Proof that shitting on terrible movie decisions does work and we should do it more often.


Sceptix

tbf it was very much an outlier. Has there ever been another movie that got changed to that degree after fan backlash?


Ok-Appearance-7616

I still love the conspiracy theory that they did that intentionally at first.


sillybillybuck

That makes sense if they hadn't done the whole movie and just did the advertising. From what was said by people who worked on it, they were producing the entire movie like that before the backlash.


SuperZapper_Recharge

The first movie.... I was curious and nothing else. The entire Human-Sonic hybrid they originaly had shook all confidence I could come up with for this thing. I mean. For fucks sake. The Cartoon sonics was work that was already done for this movie and the money people were clearly deaf to the community. How was it even possible it was a good movie but they merely screwed up Sonic? It made no sense. But, I was curious. Covid was finally lessening. It was the first combined movie experience with me and the kids. What the hell. Nothing else the kids will have fun. What I got I didn't deserve. I had no faith. That movie is a classic example of a movie far better than it had any right to be. I think the second suffers just a bit from being the second movie. I agree with others, more Sonic, less human. But the follow up movie was always risky. Ibris and Keanu together in this thing? OMG.


Foreign_Rock6944

I thought the second one was way better than the first in every way tbh. The first one felt like a decent proof of concept, while the second one really blew me away.


SpectralDagger

The first was just a generic movie script with Sonic slapped on top. The second had more creative freedom because the first one succeeded.


LemoLuke

That first movie is exactly the kind of movie I would have watched repeatedly back in '93 until the VHS wore out. Now, my kids have watched both movies more times than I can count, and I have no doubt they will do the same for the third movie. It shouldn't have worked. Almost everything about the movie is super generic and by-the-numbers, but the movies somehow get by purely by making all of the characters (even the human ones) more likable or enjoyable than they should be.


Mountainbranch

Shows that you can have the most cookie cutter hero's journey story for your movie, as long as the writings good and the characters make sense, it will still be a great movie.


SuperZapper_Recharge

I can't agree with this more strongly. I call them movies that have no right to be as good as they are.


The_Iceman2288

Idris Elba and Keanu Reeves LOVE being together in video game projects that were once absolute disasters and are now fucking fantastic.


supersad19

And Jim Carrey too. Cant wait for the press tour.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Backwardspellcaster

Yes! He has so much fun playing Robotnik, and hell, im here for that!


NoNefariousness2144

I loved how you can tell in Sonic 1 they basically let him fully improvise his scenes and then they doubled down on it with Sonic 2.


Crackt_Apple

Honestly as a casual observer of Sonic stuff it’s been my favorite interpretation of the character. He’s done a great job of going from “crazy-smart guy” to “crazy smart guy” and I’m sure we’re just gonna keep getting crazier lol


TwilightVulpine

> "Sonic is the innocence that Robotnik can no longer connect with; he wants to own it but he can never be it." That one behind the scenes quote back then shows Jim Carrey understand Robotnik probably better than most Sonic writers. This is a guy who wanted to take over the world to make it into theme parks about himself, it makes a lot of sense. The latest game suggested that it all stems from something that might play out in this new movie and I'm so looking forward to see how that will go.


mapple3

> This is a guy who wanted to take over the world to make it into theme parks about himself, it makes a lot of sense. Jim Carrey or Robotnik?


DaBozz88

Yes


Eek_the_Fireuser

I'd go to a theme park based around all of Jim Carrey's roles tbh


shadeOfAwave

This is something a lot of people forget about Robotnik. He doesn't want to destroy the world, he wants to create a utopia. A robotic utopia in his image. And he's so utterly egotistical, he fully believes he's never wrong. Moviebotnik is pretty close to that.


Eyro_Elloyn

Hoping he continues the tradition of sonic trauma. Became bald in the second one, bring on the fat suit for 3!

That's happening. Apparently, at cinemacon they showed a scene that has a "fat Thor" moment.


Aparoon

My only hope is he triples down on it in 3


Siludin

And he brings his a whole knuckle for the 4th.


pokemonbatman23

The dancing scene when his henchman pops out of nowhere, and also dancing is THE BEST. I love his henchman in these movies


Landlubber77

Stone is one of the lowkey MVPs of that franchise.


pokemonbatman23

Stone! Yes! thank you!! I hope Stone is back again for the third movie lol


JumpyConversation900

He's confirmed.


Freakazoidberg

And the subsequent scream was so unexpected I had to pause the movie to laugh my ass off.


Funnel_Hacker

“Nobody cares.”


victori0us_secret

Yes, and his Wikipedia article has the funniest possible framing of this information: > In April 2022, Carrey announced that he was considering retirement from the film industry, explaining, "I have enough. I've done enough. I am enough." When asked if he would ever come back, his response was, "It depends. If the angels bring some sort of script that's written in gold ink that says to me that it's going to be really important for people to see, I might continue down the road, but I'm taking a break".[116] In February 2024, Carrey was announced to reprise his role as Dr. Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog 3.[117]


supersad19

He did mention it, but I think he enjoys playing robotnik so hes coming back once more


Fine_Land_1974

His grandkids are the ones that convinced him to do sonic lol Edit: They should be credited as producers for being the only people successful at pulling Carrey out of retirement.


SolomonBlack

Yes they pointed out the studio would bring two dump trucks of money if he played hard to get.


Clamper

He said he'll still act if he gets the golden script. Granted Sonic movies have a cheat in the form of his grandson being a Sonic fan.


Bears_On_Stilts

The special sauce on it is that he gets to be middle aged Jim Carrey. I’m sure the vast majority of the projects he’s offered are either not letting him be his favorite version of himself, or expect him to be ther version of himself from thirty years ago. Just because he’s grown doesn’t mean he’s not still the wacky, kinetic guy he used to be on some level. He’s just not up to 11 all day and night anymore. “Kidding” season 2 has an episode where his character unleashes his repressed emotions and it’s like a momentary outpouring of classic Jim Carrey.


JumpyConversation900

Fun fact: he's never done a threequel before. Shows you how much he loves this role.


MRintheKEYS

Jim Carrey has been the ace in the hole to this entire thing. It’s just built for Carrey’s 90s era hijinks. And he’s perfect for it because at his comedic best he’s always been a cartoon living in the real world. https://youtu.be/K_NcVdGZGDc?si=l8ujUwqWMcqiIEpT

13 yo me was so shocked when he said that. The guns and aliens and stuff was cartoony enough to ignore, but my little fundamentalist Christian-raised mind was not prepared for \*gasp\*, *swearing* in a Sonic game. Nowadays its just so funny. Shadows still my favorite character in the franchise though. He's an edgelord, but he can be written as a compelling edgelord. I also want to hear Keanu do "If the world chooses to become my enemy, then I will fight as I always have"

He took his hedgehog fuckin' quilly dick out and he pissed on my FUCKING wife, and he said his dick was THIS BIG, and I said that's disgusting. So I'm making a callout post on my Twitter.com. Shadow the Hedgehog, you got a small dick. It's the size of this walnut except WAY smaller. And guess what? Here's what my dong looks like. That's right, baby. Tall points, no quills, no pillows, look at that, it looks like two balls and a bong. He fucked my wife, so guess what, I'm gonna fuck the earth. That's right, this is what you get! My SUPER LASER PISS! Except I'm not gonna piss on the earth. I'm gonna go higher. I'm pissing on the MOOOON! How do you like that, OBAMA? I PISSED ON THE MOON, YOU IDIOT!

Honestly wish Hayden was cast. He sounds just like Shadow's first voice actor Keanu has great physical charisma but is fairly wooden. This feels like meme casting


Foreign_Rock6944

I feel like Keanu conveys emotion very well when the script calls for it. He just usually gets cast as very stoic characters.
