    creating the biggest sonic collection

    The implication is that they want to continue making Sonic movies

    I'm honestly not sure what they can do after 3.
    To me, this seems like a good jumping off point. I suppose we'll have to wait and see.

    They made 8 Transformers movies. They'll scrap some crap together.

    A movie with Metal Sonic and Amy seems like an obvious choice, as Paramount seemingly isn't concerned about storylines being redundant.

    Ya there’s a lot they can keep doing. I know it seems like the Genesis era and Shadow are the most significant but there’s a whole younger generation that grew up with the series post Dreamcast. Plus the older fans. They can barrow from almost any game really.

    OR
    They didn't make eight good transformers movies.

    That said, there's plenty of Sonic stories left in the jar.

    A Secret Rings and Black Knight adaptation could go very hard actually (if done right).

    Assuming they're actually limited to using games like the Origins games, Adventure games, 06, Heroes, Riders and Colors, I think they can only really scrape 2 or 3 lose adaptations that would be fitting of the World of Sonic The Hedgehog out of them and they almost all require Sonic to finally leave Earth.

    These movies could never cook like that.

    Okay, but 45mins worth of Werehog shenanigans at the Wachowski household would be a wonderful sight to see. Throw in a couple gods here and there, maybe re-adapt the Marza short and get those dorky ghosts into the mix, who knows! It just sounds like the best halloween Sonic special... Ever. Of all time.

    Apart from seasonal episodes and specials, though, I got some ideas up my sleeve:
    • If the film series really wanted to continue on from and expand upon the idea of there being planetary hunters (remember those spear guys?), then I think a fun way to work off of that concept would be to introduce the Hooligans to counter our currently existing trio... Triple Trouble could be a fun way to include a proper anthro villain.
    • Carrey wont be here forever, and if they wanted to introduce another can of worms while going off the work that Sonic 3 is establishing, then somehow tying Emerl to the crisis between the two clans would be my best bet. If the movies never bother with introducing Chaos, then the E-102 expy could probably fill up the rest of the runtime here instead. And while we're at it, since Cream is featured in Battle, why not include some of the Advance series' plot points as well?
    • Interplanetary shenanigans call for interplanetary solutions - the 'fuck it we ball' of options, Sonic Rush! Get Blaze in on things if the entire cinematic team is just tired of having to keep up the work of dealing with unexplained bird and echidna lore by throwing in more unrelated lore, and hire Awkwafina to do her worst Australian accent ever. Watch the movie start raking in the cash thanks to that last decision.
    • Sister Sonic, take two. Just make an excuse to adapt Popful Mail again to the west lmaoo

    How many more times does Wade need to say "Flames of Disaster" for Silver to appear in the 4th movie? but at the same time I want them to find a way to introduce us to Amy, Blaze, Rouge, or literally any other female character in the series. We cannot get to movie 4 and it still be a sausage fest.

    I dunno, Silver falls under the 'null' category for me, probably because I make the connection of Silver -> Quinton Flynn -> MGS2 Raiden's androgynous ass
    Metal Sonic as an Iblis Trigger type might be a cheeky way to make Silver right by technicality, and that easily leads into an inclusion of Amy as the female casting choice of the film to dissuade Silver and perhaps use her mysticism against his justice-induced fanaticism... And I guess if you wanna get pedantic, Metal is null too :V

    I don't like Silver at all. Or many of the characters. Just filler to me and not 16-bit platform action. I am not into any 'stories'.

    I am 100% convinced Amy Rose will either make a surprise appearance or be the end credits scene. Rouge is also possible.

    If Metal Sonic really is up next, I hope they find some angle to take with him. The second film already gave us "Robotnik shows up with a rival as strong as Sonic", which 3 thankfully isn't retreading. Maybe Metal Sonic could be built to out-hero Sonic and steal his spotlight... probably while Eggman secretly does something evil, but still.

    If and when they do start wheeling more of the furrier friends, I wonder how interestingly they could keep justifying it. Only so many bipedal animals can walk out of portals to hug or slug the blue dude.

    None of the Transformer movies were good. I hated it all.

    Conversely, the Sonic movies have been surprisingly genuine.

    I want to start out by saying bless anyone who actually thought they were going to just "stop" making Sonic Movies after Sonic Movie 3

    In a Post-MCU, Post-Transformers, Post-Fast and Furious landscape, the idea that Paramount of all companies was going to suddenly just STOP making Sonic content is hysterical.

    They will keep making Sonic Movies, likely eventually since Transformers One and TMNT Mutant Mayhem ended up doing well, animated and live action until the entire Sonic Movie / Sonic brand stops being successful, that's it. That's the only actual criteria that'll convince them to stop.

    Until then, this is it. This is the burden to accept if the post-SonicxShadowGens Landscape turns out to be not only bringing Sonic back to former glories but also to new heights. Every 2-3 years, there will be a Paramount Sonic movie and it will capture the attention and financial successes from General Audiences and various Sonic fans new and old.

    This is it, forever. Or until the eventual Soft-Reboot in 2030

    This is the future we're dealing with. IDW, Movies, Games repeat, on loop...with the occasional manga and maybe an anime series down the road. Definitely another Cartoon / Animated Series for Streaming, that'll happen.

    Anyway see you all for Sonic Movie 5 in 2028, where the above will most likely happen.

    I wonder if they could "fix" the mess of 2006 if they'd adapt it.
