I gotta admit, I just wanted to write this title for this post.
We made it, SEGA bros, a reveal trailer for a 3rd live action Sonic movie.. followed closely by the first proper for a Knuckles spinoff series.
Let's see...
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 | Title Treatment Reveal (2024 Movie)
This looks nice. Pretty nice indeed. It's just a tease, but this better confirm we will finally get a Crush40 song in a Sonic movie!!!
I'd like to see them make the characters slightly older, like when the games went from classic era->Sonic Adventure era. I'm still not convinced skipping SA1 was a good choice, even presenting both stories in reverse order seems odd. Sonic is like a shonen manga, there's an escalation in the level of threats and power-ups. Perfect Chaos goes before Shadow and the Biolizard, based on researches on the Echidnas.... and... Wait and see..
Knuckles Series | Official Trailer | Paramount+
Our boy Knux is here! For a long while I hoped it would have been a sort of Archie Comics-style adaptation of Chaotix or Sonic Adventure.. but instead feels more like a filler episode. You know what? This would have been a nice way to introduce Tikal, the Echidnas, Amy or Rouge... Like before, wait and see...
And that's it for now.
I’m so hyped for Sonic 3 & Knuckles! The trailers have been amazing, and it’s great to see the filmmakers leaning into more of the lore from the games. Knuckles has always been one of my favorite characters, so I’m thrilled to see him taking on a bigger role this time.
ReplyDeleteThe tease of the rivalry between Sonic and Knuckles, alongside Shadow’s introduction, feels like a perfect balance of action and character development. Plus, the nods to the Sonic Adventure games in the visuals and music? Absolute nostalgia fuel!
What are your thoughts on Shadow’s portrayal? Do you think they’ll keep his edgy, serious tone from the games, or will they add some humor to fit the vibe of the previous movies?
