  • So here we are, just days away from the release of the second film and I am way too excited. So excited, in fact, that I decided that now was a good time to head back to the first film and give my thoughts on it's story and characters.
    I hope you all enjoy the video!

    15:45 my headcanon is that because robotnik was under the government's employ, they decided to cover up his existence to avoid being responsible for his actions, plus they probably never liked him anyway.
    The man was hired to investigate a power outage and somehow that led to him blowing up one of the seven world wonders.

    1. Tom knows the mushroom planet because Sonic got a ring-portal guide with his bag of rings from Longclaw, and we see this when Sonic first narrates his escape plan to the mushroom world.
    2. There was a deleted scene where Longclaw DOES flee with Sonic to Earth; it continues with her dying of old age before telling Sonic how to use the rings, and I think it works better than what the filmmakers ended up using in the theatrical cut, especially since we are given no real reason as to why Sonic is not bothered by Longclaw's "sacrifice" (movie's gotta movie?).

      Also, Sonic was stressed already. He was scared and never before interacted with anyone, so you can say he basically "froze", unable to decide what to do. Much less, he expected Tom to yell in terror. He may be fast on his feet, but not with thinking or reacting. If he isn't focused, he may be unable to react in time. That's just my idea of how it could go :-)

    I believe the reason why Longclaw stayed behind is because she knew she was gonna die anyway. In a deleted scene for the movie shows that when they get attacked by the echidna tribe, both Longclaw and Sonic escape to Earth but after getting to Earth, Longclaw becomes sick and eventually dies. What MIGHT support this theory is that the movie did reference another movie called "Charlotte's Web" where similar things happen.

    3:08 The rings don’t close right away. They stay open for a few seconds. Longclaw didn’t want the Echidnas going through as well. Even if she tried to guard it from inside the ring, it’d be more risky.
    As for Tom knowing about the Mushroom Planet. I don’t think you need to know what the location specifically looks like. Tom probably thought to himself:
    “That Mushroom Land that Sonic was talking about”
    …and threw the ring.
    Perhaps they’ll expand a bit on that in the sequel, but I don’t think you’d need to have a specific visual. Sonic also did slightly describe it to him in the motel anyway.

    This only occurred to me recently, but the reason why Sonic was sent to Green Hills, Montana from that portal ring was because he is from Green Hill island. Like what was mentioned at 8:45, the holder of the ring must first think of a location to make a portal too. Since Longclaw lives on Green Hill island, her first instinct was probably some place that is most similar to the island in order for Sonic to feel at home, almost like a “Green Hill” alternative, but she knew the location had to be on Earth, hence why he was located to Green Hills, Montana.
    Also, I would like to believe that Tom was able to figure out how the ring worked because of how Sonic described the mushroom planet in the motel scene. What Sonic described was pure misery, at least from his opinion, and also sounded like he could never return back to Earth. Therefore, when Tom had to think about where Robotnik should be sent to, the most miserable place is Sonic’s mind makes a good contender, and also doubles as a place where he supposedly cannot return from.

    There’s something I said to myself and I wanted to always say to someone. If the director is a huge Sonic fan, why on earth did he have the approval of the first design of Sonic? It was absolutely mortifyingly horrendous, but I’m glad they redesigned Sonic.
    Your review on the movie was actually quite divine to hear. I personally enjoyed the movie and planning to see the sequel. Your headcanon on if the sequel will change its scenery to Green Hills (Sonic’s home) to somewhere else.
    For example, Sonic X’s season three. Where everyone is back at their own home and they travel through space in order to stop the Metarex. Since Chris misses Sonic a lot, he travels to see him. I hope someone like this sorta happens in the sequel, but we don’t know until it premieres

    I’m really happy that video game movies are getting better especially a Sonic one
    Seeing how the games are going right now the movie is definitely a breath of fresh air and I think Sonic being and acting younger (like the Fortnite dancing isn’t enough proof for his age) does make his character more in depth and leaves room for him to grow in the future sequels and eventually be a more mature character
    Like we gotta remember that Sonic on the games is 15 classic and modern so getting a Sonic who could be possibly like 12-14 (idk) leaves more character development for him

      Yeah, the first movie does almost have that feeling that they were holding back a bit to see if there would be any success. Then, there was a ton of success. Thanks to this, the second film is going to go in more of a Sonic direction in terms of its story and I cannot wait. Plus, there have been some reviews out of the second film already and they are all really positive.

    The rings are a *magical* item that connects to the user's mind. It fills in the gaps. You don't even need to verbally say the name of said location or even see what the location looks like. You just need to think of the place and the *magical* ring will fill in the gaps. It can bring you to a place or a person with just a thought. Remember sonic mentioned the mushroom planet to doughnut lord so it only fits that it's the place he thought of when using the ring. When long claw used the rings, she didn't even have a image of the place. She thought of the place and The rings just filled in the gaps. It works imo.

    There's two deleted scenes in the bonus features one alternative scene where long-lasting does go through the portal with Sonic and she stays with him for a big chunk of time until she dies of old age, I think they cut so Sonic could be all alone for a longer period of time to make him be in a more isolated state and yearning for social interaction. There was also another cut scene where Sonic and Tom talk after Sonic gets locked by the dog, they have their chit chat and apologize to each other then Tom let's Sonic drive the car and gives him the keys. I think they cut that out because they were going to apologize to eachother when they get on the roof top anyway.

    2. Saturn logo as one of the planets on Sonic's paper
    3. Sonic disliking the mushroom planet. He was designed to compete against Mario, who lived in the "Mushroom Kingdom."

    I will never forget watching this film the first time and being SHOCKED by how much I enjoyed it. What really worked was they did not make the assumption that viewers would just know who everyone is like in a lot of film adaptations of video games. Instead, they built the universe from the ground up, taking it slow with introducing more characters.
    As well, the two main characters from the games that were introduced were strong introductions. Sonic felt just like his original counterpart with spices of his own and a new story to make him complex. His relationship with Tom was rather cool to watch it develop.
    Jim Carrey in particular was the best part of the film. I recall worrying that he might be too comedic with Jim Carrey playing the role, but it was well balanced. The essentails of Robotnik were maintained and they let Jim Carrey be himself and deliver his lines how he wanted to, the result was to me one of his best roles. It is also a lovely touch seeing how he slowly turns into the classic Robotnik appearance, including getting closer with his voice, at times even sounding close to Mike Pollock’s Robotnik.
    What little lore was brought in the film felt natural and set up just enough to allow a sequel to bring in much more lore. The final battle was epic as hell and the ending teases of Robotnik returning (and starting to turn into classic Robotnik) along with Tails’ debut got me hyped and ready for a second film.
    I was grinning from ear to ear when it was over and to see a film adaptation of a video game break the curse was great. This was a great start to a film series, and the first sequel… just wow was that one fun as well.

First of all, Sonic was a toddler when Longclaw was forced to flee the island on Sonic's homeworld. Longclaw did go with Sonic and raised him from toddler to teenager in a pretty hilarious and heartwarming montage. She then dies of old age with Sonic by her side and he's alone from that point onward. Here's a link for those interested in said deleted scene. HOWEVER WARNING: Scene contains terrible OG movie Sonic design, unfinished animation and some tears. Enjoy.

    What I adore about this interpretation of Sonic's character is that it, in my opinion, shows what would've been of Sonic if he hadn't had the need to save the world ever since he was really young.
    The Classic games kind of show us an 8-10 y.o. Sonic who seems to have been aware since the beginning of who Eggman was and what he did; and used his powers for the greater good. I think that's also why most of the series and the Archie comics based their story on a Sonic who had seen the effects of Eggman's plans, and so made the decision that if no one else could defeat him, he would try and succeed.
    This, on the other hand, is a Sonic whose only interaction with real danger while growing up was with the Echidna tribe, where he still didn't know how to use the gifts nature had given him to try and help Longclaw along or defend himself, only to be protected. That little Sonic must've been around 3, and giving that he has around 10 to 12 years in the movie, that means he would've spent around 7 to 9 years of his life not really having to face any danger, besides hiding himself from the world, which held not as big of a threat as a bunch of Echidnas hunting you down (obviously until Robotnik showed up).
    He never developed the maturity and control over his emotions as game Sonic, he never formed connections with the people he wanted to protect like game Sonic (until the end of the movie), and he never had other purpose other than having fun and keep himself safe. This is what Sonic would kinda be if he never had to go through the events of his main classic games, and had a caretaker to look out for him (things that Archie and SatAM tried to do with Uncle Chuck).

    I'd just like to mention the fact that robotnik and sonic during the final chase were in super speed mode and the world around them looked like as if it was frozen, so yes. Nobody saw them. Things just started exploding out of nowhere from their point of view. The only exception to this being when they went through Paris which was just a minor plot hole, but everything else in San Francisco was frozen when Sonic and Robotnik were fighting. Also, Tom didn't need to know what the mushroom planet looked like to open a portal to it, he just thought of a place far, far away from where robotnik was, presumably like how longclaw did as she mentioned that earth was on the other side of the universe. You don't need an exact picture of where you're going, just the general idea. I'd also just like to mention that the movie takes place in generic earth places for either of two reasons: 1, because the focus is on a simple origin story for sonic on earth and doesn't need to take the characters anywhere else, or 2, the producers probably had a rather limited budget and that green hill scene was all they could really offer. Also, the floss isn't a fortnite dance nor is it a joke in the movie or referencing fortnite, it's just gen z sonic being gen z sonic, there's not much to it.

    Now, see... I'm not a Sonic fan. Never really have been. I only know of the characters, but I've never actually played any of the games. So this Sonic is the Sonic that PROPERLY introduced me to... Sonic. If people were to ask me which Sonic I grew up with, I would have to say this movie before getting many weird looks from people. But I respect and love this movie purely because it did something I didn't think it could do. A video game movie got me hooked. I enjoyed the movie, I enjoyed the characters and everything. Furthermore, it got me to see the second movie which made me love it even more! Of course, I know that these interpretations of Sonic, Robotnik, they're not too much like their video game origins. As far as I know, Tails and Knuckles are the only ones that are closest to their video game counterparts. But I think that's okay. Sometimes, to introduce casual viewers like myself into Sonic, you have to give them something that isn't fully Sonic. I think this movie took a bold step and I think it paid off. Especially with the commitment they put into the film (looking at you, freaky Sonic). This studio took a large leap of faith with both viewers, fans AND money and made something that viewers like myself and Sonic fans as a whole can enjoy. Is it a perfect movie? No. Of course it isn't. Look at it. But is it enjoyable? Does it do its job? Does its upsides make the downsides look like nothing? Is this movie FUN? Yes. Yes it is. And now I have a respect for Sonic as a whole.

    I have a reason for how Tom opened the portal to the Mushroom planet, and it's that, instead of knowing what it looks like, you need to think of the place you want to go and then throw the ring. Either that, or just say it out loud. This explains how Sonic opened the portal despite not knowing what San Francisco looks like, only seeing it from Tom's shirt, although he probably could've seen it in a movie so my headcanon is debunked. But a headcanon isn't meant to be canon, so it's fine

    A headcanon for the dances is this: Sonic being alone has never really gotten a chance to celebrate anything.
    With him taking out Eggman's tank, and possibly watching a kid play Fortnite through the window, he probably saw the dance and thought it was pretty good. So a victory over Eggman was a good enough celebration to do the dance.

    Don't remember where i read ot, but the beginning was supposed to include LongClaw goes to Earth woth Sonic and live a happy life until she passes away from old age and makes Sonic promise her to always hide. Maybe I'm just imagining things or I'm just plain wrong
    Love your Eggman videos and ai hope you could keep up making great videos like this.

    12:13 OK, let me address something I haven't seen ANYONE address: Sonic's shoes used to belong to a little girl, and they are capable to tank steps at THE SPEED.
    OF FUCKING.
    SOUND.

      You know what... That IS a good point. So that should mean that Sonic's shoes should tear up like his other pairs unless these shoes were specially designed to travel at ridiculous speeds. But then that raises the question of why does a child have shoes like that?

      THEORY: His shoes did tear up between the 1st and 2nd movies, so he got ahold of a brand new, identical pair (which Tails upgraded to be much more resilient, also off-screen)

    One of the reason that I love this movie is because this movie is one of the best live-action adaptation I ever seen. There were things that could of been worse, but I am so glad it wasn't.
    Most of the live-action movie is so inaccurate with the source material but the Sonic movie is a pass to me^^

    My thoughts to the first design (this is speculation) is that it was never intended to be the final design.
    I've heard people say that it could've just been something to get people to talk about the movie, to make people aware of the movie.
    Again, this is probably me reading too much into this.

    One of the things i like about the characters of Sonic and Robotnik is they are a mirror parallel of each other due to their lonely and isolation from their unique gifts. Sonic's speed caused him to be on the run and be alone, whilst Robotnik's gift of high intelligence caused him to be lonely from a child to adult and see everyone as his inferior. Both Sonic and Robotnik are orphans which is another great parallel. The difference is that Sonic craves friends and doesn't see himself as above people to cope. Robotnik on the other hand has become cruel and developed a major superiority complex. I think this mirroring of each other was a great subtle way to connect these two.

    The movie sonic design is so expressive and it works very well, and I agree with NewFramePlus on sonic getting a slight redesign for the games, the current designs seem so hard to work with, but the sonic movie design works well and is super expressive, and overall, I loved the movie, and I really do want to watch the sequel, also, Jim Carrey playing robotnic was the best idea ever, it's such a good idea, I really do want to see the movie series further, but, overall, I am enjoying this video, good job

    I kinda like how this sonic incarnation is a young, silly version of his (90’s and early 2000’s self *ahem*) and if the series continues, it would be fun if he sorta grew into his video game self.
