    I really appreciate they made Super Shadow look like more lighter than Super Sonic.

    It was a great attention to detail that I really loved.

    Super Shadow's always been lighter than Super Sonic, they never stopped doing that

    Well, I'm just glad they paid attention to that itself. Tho' Shadow originally was meant to be more grey-esque in SA2, and the movie kinda made me remind of that funily enough.

    Now that I saw the movie...

    - Gerald having WAY less background than Maria felt odd and didn't help him being portrayed as a lunatic avenging antagonist.
    - Maria being more of a regular, healthy teen girl than a "Saint-level" sick young girl felt a bit odd to me (maybe to being used to her gameverse portrayal).
    - Due to that, Shadow not being created artificially, but dropping on the planet via a comet (referencing his Black Arms' origins) felt more fitting.
    (Black Doom having appeared 50 years prior and not having tried anything on the planet always felt odd to me)
    - Robotnik, for once, actually felt more human than in prior times, but the Robotniks' fight was a bit stupid and constricted xD
    - Sonic distrusting GUN due to Shadow's attitude and the attack on the GUN Commander? Felt forced, for the sake of closing in on SA2's plot context.
    - Other than the female GUN officer mentioning "You still alive?", the supposed death of GUN Commander was left ambiguous.
    - That Chao Garden restaurant scene felt a bit weird and cringe to me xD
    - Wade keeping the Master Emerald? Typical movieverse Knuckles logic xD
    - The convenience of the Eclipse Cannon being right next to GUN HQ...under London's river... xD
    (I know, since it was to be eventually used by GUN, it was convenient to them to have it close to HQ)

    And...the worst offender...
    ...
    ...
    Prison Island on Tokyo Bay...with american staff?! How damn forced could it be?! xD xD xD
    Just to justify the whole "Tokyo Mission" that took only the first part of the movie.
    Well, at least certain parts of Shadow Gens movie DLC now make sense to me xD

    This, among other things that felt oddly convenient and/or forced just to move the plot steadily.

    I know that much... But in the movieverse's case, Prison Island that close to Tokyo? Felt weird to me.
    And GUN HQ in London? I kinda expected them to be sited in USA, close to NATO HQ or something...

    Thanks for clarifying me.
    Good to know there's one less contrivance to me :thumbsup:
    Not that the other contrivances will change my liking the movie xD

    I treat these movies as a parallel universe, so I don’t mind the massive changes.

    That said, this was my favorite of the series so far. Lots of little easter eggs and callbacks to the games (“No food or movies?”) Eggman ringtone…
    The characterization was great (not as dramatic as the games… Maria’s situation was of course simplified). Keanu did a good job…
    and there was finally not an over-focus on the human characters.

    I liked it! Sonic having a backstory wi the some form of loss actually made it easier for him to connect with Shadow. I wish they had an actual CHAOS CONTROL finale though.

    Not just all over the world but very specifically in post-WW2 Japan.

    Liked it a lot but is it just me or did the CGI seem unfinished in places? In particular when Shadow is looking at his own reflection up in the space station, the reflection seemed jaggy, like if it was missing antialiasing.

    I watched in Dolby and either the music mixing was way too low or the AMC theater goofed.

    I wonder, I recall it being said that Sonic was 14 in this universe during the first movie. But since we've seen Shadow observe the year as 2024, are the prior movies in 2023/2024, or has Sonic aged four years and is now 18?

    Also, the pink haired girl from the TailsTube concept art was on a board with the date 30.12.2024, so I'm expecting something at that time.

    I recall in interviews that Fowler said he was more like a 12 year old kid since the first movie was more of an origin story before movie Sonic fell more (relatively) in line with game Sonic as a character, putting him at 16. But let's be real, this is the Sonic series and his age will never be brought up or confirmed once he's suddenly 19 or 21 going by your numbers in Sonic 4.

    I think this was the best creative decision change for the movie series. They both experienced great loss, making them more relatable to each other.


    Also, I thought Prison Island was supposed to be future Alcatraz. :colbert:

    Yeah. The best I can find available (legally) is here, when Knuckles is leaping at Shadow, at about 0:54:

    But I recall seeing the full date at one point somewhere, so I'm wondering what's happening there.

    The Ark incident happened 50 years ago, every year, always.
