    Which one - Angel Island or Little Planet for Sonic 4?

    • @CasterOfDreams
      @CasterOfDreams 9 годин тому +8

      Little planet is the only one that makes sense, since angel island requires the master emerald to stay afloat, it makes no sense for it to even exist in this universe (maybe the island where knuckles fought iblis could be it)

    Jeff Fowler and production: Lets just have them be preparing for a bowling tournament while Kid Cudi and a woman hunt for Knuckles, and lets meet Wades family as well. Then the final battle is a mechanic (I kinda forgot the plot of the show, that's just what I remember)

    In my opinion, we should a mini series between sonic movies. Like how the knuckles tv show gaps between sonic 2 and sonic 3, so I would definitely see a shadow mini series coming soon before sonic 4 comes out. And the directors and writers did say that the sonic movies would be like the avengers movies, so having mini series in between the sonic movies makes sense in the sonic cinematic universe.

  • @Unquestionable

    Happy to see a follow up to the first video. Like I said before for being a very fair weather Sonic fan (despite literally being around since the first game) the movies really capture all the fun and parts I've enjoyed the most from the franchise. Especially happy the actors enjoy the roles and have a good time performing them.

  • @Ad1tputra
    @Ad1tputra 2 години тому +2

    Idk if y'all notice but the Metal Sonic that are easily destroyed by Amy are grey not blue and we didn't see the blue one getting destroyed. Which means the blue Metal Sonic might be the "Real" Metal Sonic, I'm guessing the grey ones are the clones or imperfect copy of the original Metal Sonic. They're his henchmen.
    There's a potential that this Metal Sonic is Neo Metal Sonic, if that's true then that will be awesome.
    As for the plot of Sonic 4 it might be based on Sonic CD since that game first introduced Amy and Metal Sonic. But who knows, maybe Sonic 4 will be based on Sonic Heroes

    Sonic movies are really some examples of great movies, I rewatched Sonic 1 recently, and I think it's a movie that improves after watching Sonic 3, because you can get all the references, especially Walters asking about a certain hedgehog in the end of the movie
    I also think it'll be Sonic CD, but I expect the final boss of Sonic 4 to be Metal Madness

    Man I am so glad to see this sequel video from you. Also spoilers for the final few seconds of the video.
    I do think I know how they could make Jim Carreys Robotnik fit into the 4th movie. Especially if it involves timetravel. When the Eclipse Cannon exploded, it was a giant reaction of Chaos energy. So I wonder if it didnt really explode as much per say, but rather initiated a giant chaos control! One big enough to warp space and possibly even time! Leaving Robotnik on another world, possibly in the past or future as well, where he'd have the means to create Metal Sonic. Especially given that as far as I can tell, he still has his Sonic Quill that he demanded in Sonic 3, meaning he could possibly even reverse engineer it as a replica.
    My own take is he might just have ended up on Little Planet. Would be a cool way to introduce that into the franchise. And use the planets resources for his metallic madness!
    Regardless if they do that or something completely different I'm all in! Jeff Fowler and Paramount studios have done wonders with this franchise.
    Also I agree Agent Stone is underrated and probably the best new thing brought to the franchise from the movies. Lee Majoub plays him wonderfully and I could even see Stone working in the games! His demeanour bounces off Robotniks so well and I can even see it being the same with the game's interpretation of Eggman. Stone is arguably the best sidekick that Eggman has had to date in the franchise.

    Sonic 4 is most likely going to take inspiration from Sonic CD. Seeing as how SA 2 was Shadow's first appearance and other than Shadow's vague "where mans come from" backstory, it was very heavily taking inspiration from SA 2. Considering the route that Fowler and the team have been going with introducing characters, I see Amy and Metal Sonic being the primary focus. However, since they did have a canon cameo in the setup comics from Chaotix, I wouldn't be surprised if we have at least a scene with the money grubbing detectives that help aid the plot in some way. I think Rouge, Big, and Cream are pretty close to being seen as well. Silver I see as pretty far off so far, especially since Silver isn't seen too much involved in mainline stories outside of Sonic 06's main story and also probably because it would involve time travel again and unless Fowler does involve Silver in Sonic 4, the team would have to revisit Silver's story later on.
    Edit: Addition
    In total, I see at least 2 more movies (4 and 5) before we see Silver in a big screen appearance. It might make sense to have a bigger cast of characters by the 6th movie for Silver's debut if we make it that far

    Great video. So cool to know how passionate the cast and crew have been making these movies. I’m honestly surprised Keanu Reeves got cast as Shadow, probably because of the massive fan campaign. He wasn’t bad as Shadow, but I would have chosen Aaron Paul. And Idris Elba’s Knuckles voice has really grown on me. Although personally I would not choose an A-list actor to voice Amy.

    I would be all down for Silver (which would be awesome to be played by possibly Hayden Christian) and Shadow finding out that there was a being that could give him a chance to possibly change his past, which would be so tempting for him to reach that golden apple.
    but knowing his conversation with Sonic, he needs to let his past haunts be a guide and look forward to his future (which could be an good lesson for people n kids)

    OK for my predictions for what’s gonna happen in Sonic 4 is the main villain is going to be Neo Metal Sonic with his lesions of different types of metal sonics. I heard Amy Rose is gonna be sonic love interest so she probably go to Earth for Sonic so it’s gonna be either they met as kids, her fortune cards or a little bit of both. For Silver I feel like he’s gonna be in the in critics.

    The Sonic movie franchise is a Cinderella story. All the odds were stacked against it. Even fixing Sonic's character model wasn't a guarantee, though it was a show of good faith.
    It still could have been a mediocre Hollywood bastardization. But no it turned out to have heart and was earnest.

      Yep while it's not perfect but it's certainly better than alot of modern Hollywood movies. This franchise felt like genuine care and love into it.
      I hope they will continue improving and fixing things from previous movies. Continually building up that foundation. Sonic 3 was already better than the second and first movie, imagine Sonic 4 will be better than Sonic 3.
