    That's quite an unpopular opinion, at least from what I have heard. I have only seen the first four episodes, and I personally thought episode three was by far the worst so far. In my honest opinion, Wanda was insanely insufferable, and Wade probably would make me upset if I had not seen the first two movies beforehand, where I liked Wade's character fine enough. It's fine that you liked it, though. Great, even.

    While on the topic of the Knuckles show, I have an unpopular opinion as well. I thought episode 4 was good. It was really goofy and stupid, but it was fun. I disliked the bits of Wade getting shocked by the cage, and the part with Wade and the Christopher Llyod Echidna from SA1 (I don't feel like spelling the name) at the bowling alley counter was too long and unfunny. I was not really bothered by the severe lack of Knuckles in the one, which is odd because I adore the movie-verse's take on Knux. The musical number nonsense was enjoyable enough to keep me from not getting bored.

    No joke, my favorite part of the show is the opening (or closing, in episode 1's case). The Warrior is catchy of course, but I really like the drawings of Team Sonic on those sadly outdated discs that Metal Sonic first appeared on. Jokes aside, the art style there seems to me like what a daily Sonic newspaper comic strip would look like, and as a comic strip fanatic, that makes me happy, and sad that we never got one. I'm glad A Very Sonic Christmas uses this style (it kind of does).

    I think episode 4 was most people's favorite episode because the rock opera was just so over the top.

    I also enjoyed episode 3.

    Because of Sonic the Hedgehog 3's box office performance last weekend, it has officially entered the top 10 highest grossing movies of 2024!

    Congratulations to SEGA, Paramount, and the team involved with the film for this achievement!

    Why weren't Prison Island and the GUN headquarters the same setting? Shadow wouldn't have known anything he needed was also where he was kept and hastily escaped from and you could have bullshit some excuse why it had tighter security on the revisit.

    Because they clearly didn't care about anything from the game's story other than Shadow/Maria. They should have just completely cut everything else about SA2 out.

    From the Adam Sandler school of directing. Shooting on location is a working vacation

    1.) probably more to line up with SA2;
    2.) I think the whole Tokyo segment was an attempt to better capture the Japanese market (which didn't work - but hey, we got the real-life Chao Garden out of it lol)
    3.) because if you think about it for more than a second, "if Gerard could just hack to get Shadow out, why didn't he just bring down the defenses and steal the second launch card the first time, instead of having to go back?". There's at least some deniability in two separate places having two different modes of security.
    4.) repeating locations in a single movie tends to make the movie feel "smaller", or cheaper.

    I'm more inclined to believe they just wanted to shoot somewhere fun, since the Tokyo sequence was very short compared to the overall film. Increasing appeal to the Japanese market would probably require a bit more work than that :p

    Agreed, the pupil on the left looks kinda photoshopped.

    I assumed there was no novelization for Sonic 3 and I had heard absolutely zero about it but I guess I assumed wrong because I was browsing Google Play books and saw it listed and it said it released the same day as the film.

    I think I remember people were saying the second one was more straightforward than the first which went its own direction in areas like specifying the energy was "Chaos Energy" but I'm curious if 3 has more differences due to how 3 was not a finished script ever.

    Edit: apparently the book is even less finished lol how did they get away with this Screenshot_20250409-210239-133.png

    What a weird way to do a novelization. I wasn't even aware that 1 had a novelization.
