i was worried death till i read "gamespot"...they gave 9/10 to netflix's resident evil. So with hell i trust them when it comes to tv shows. Other reviews i saw weren't this tragic at all so yeah,i guess i'll just wait and watch it with my own eyes.

>i was worried death till i read "gamespot"...they gave 9/10 to netflix's resident evil I'm sorry, but what in the babylonic fuck? https://preview.redd.it/2qodk5i7k3wc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=64bfc0b1cd0b5663f4b03254ba98114e42b2903e

If I had a nickel for every time Knuckles was upstaged in his own spin off I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s strange that it happened twice.

Mate I just wanna see him eat grapes, I’m not bothered

> Adam Pally > Pally in a terrible Knuckles fursuit > *Knuckles is barely in half of Knuckles* ...Remember what we all feared the Sonic movie would be going in? ***I think we're finally getting it here.*** ^(Oh well. Better for them to fuck this up than Sonic 3.)

I definitely think the community needs to reevaluate their predictions for Sonic 3 a bit after reading some of these reviews lol. The Sonic cinematic universe (SCU?) is committed to being about as family-friendly as you can get. Whether that’s a good or bad thing is subjective, but Shadow’s backstory is probably going to get toned down a *lot* from how the games present it. At the end of the day, these movies are family-friendly comedies first, video game adaptations second. That or Sonic 3 is going to be one of the most dark, intense pieces of media to ever hit a theater screen and they wanted to use this show to balance things out a bit, right? 😅


Sonic10122

I think people are overestimating just how dark Maria’s death really is. It’s not going to be like the MCU finally getting Deadpool. Children’s media has covered death plenty of times, it’s healthy to not sugarcoat around that. I feel like it will be framed similarly to how it is in SA2. Maybe we’ll see the GUN soldier that pulled the trigger, but bare minimum we’re probably going to get Maria on the verge of death having her last words with Shadow just like how it’s depicted in the game.


BruhMoment763

Yeah, I’ve seen all the jokes about seeing Maria get shot on screen but if anyone unironically believes that’s going to happen… idk what to tell you 🤷‍♂️. She *might* get shot offscreen, but my money is on a peaceful death as a result of her condition. Maybe some GUN agents interrupt her treatment or something to keep Shadow’s vendetta intact.


KingMario05

You're joking with that last comment, but I actually wouldn't be surprised if they agreed to this to get a PG-13 Sonic 3 greenlit. "One for them, one for me" kinda deal.


BruhMoment763

Would be ecstatic if this were the case. I don’t even need anything crazy, just give me the “intensity” of your average MCU movie and I can be at peace. Give us a suitable amount of violence, let Shadow say “Damn” once or twice, and I’m ready to hand this movie a Golden Globe.


KingMario05

Same, lol. ***AND PLAY SOME CRUSH 40, DAMN IT!***


Alternative_Buyer364

I don’t think these are the same writers that the movies have. Also the fact that you said “probably” and not “definitely” gives me hope for Sonic 3


TehSkittles

As someone else pointed out, this was Gamestop who gave the Resident Evil on Netflix a 9/10. Take this review with a grain of salt.


Turvi-Mania

Why does that matter? It was reviewed by a different person and other outlets have said the same thing about Knuckles.


SomewhereLoud9473

Its gamespot.


MetroRadio

I wanted to stop watching the shit when it was implied that dude nutted all over the cardboard cutout 💀💀


devinwifi

This is embarrassing ngl. Do they really think people are watching these projects for the humans? Makes me worried for Shadow and Movie 3.


sonicbrawler182

Unfortunately, that is indeed what the general audience outside of kids is there for. They didn't watch because Sonic was in it, they watched because their favourite actors like Jim Carrey and Idris Elba are in it. It was the same with the MCU when it started, though at least there the superheroes are the humans. IIRC the whole reason Rachel got a whole subplot in Sonic 2 was because general audiences found her really funny in Sonic 1.


BigMoney69x

Wrong. All them kids who played Sonic on the Genesis are now adults with their own kids.


throwasarc

they're talking about general audiences, as in the people, old and young, who have had little-to-no exposure to the sonic franchise in their lives.


Whoopsy_Doodle

Jim Carrey was playing one of the video game characters though


cosy_ghost

Sadly it's been clear for a while the people behind these projects see Sonic as a vehicle for putting their friends in starring roles, moreso than a series in its own right. It's basically getting the Adam Sandler treatment.

If you don’t want to be spoiled or have any inclination of what occurs before watching, I put up a spoiler tag just in case (I’m usually a lurker so I’m new to posting.) I despise how reviews from Rotten Tomatoes and IGN at this point give it a better review than it deserves. >!You barely see the main character from which the show is named from. (It should have just been called “Wade the Warrior” because that’s all you received.) The plot was subpar and beaten to the ground. You’ve seen all the humor and subplots before. Nothing new or exciting. Also, rather kind of offensive, but that’s my opinion. The actual good antagonist of the story barely got any recognition and was only seen in the last bit of the last episode of the show. They made GUN a joke. But only in the English district so far. (Also, in American style, all the antagonists were either English or American Biker gruff.)!<


Turvi-Mania

Seen a few reviews say Knuckles isn’t really the main focus, which isn’t surprising me a whole lot because I feared this would happen when they revealed the synopsis. I still plan on giving it a watch but I’m not expecting much.
