#Sonic #Movie #Reaction
Something I don't see getting a lot of recognition: shout-out to Tom and Maddie for being just a healthy couple! There's another version of this movie where they fight over Tom keeping Sonic a secret, but in this movie they are just supportive
FACTS!!!! that made them so much more enjoyable they didn't waste out time with that type of drama. They were lovable & helpful, the sister was enough of the drama element lol.
Not dissing the actor and actress they're great but their characters serve absolutely no purpose in this movie, which means I technically agree with you. Because if they're going to be taking up space anyway they might as well be likeable
@@noremac7216 i think their purposes is giving sonic a real family so he wouldn't feel alone
@@DJWingoYT yeah but they could have done that with Tails or another Sonic character they just didn't trust the audience enough to relate to just cartoon animals
@@noremac7216 they did do that with tails and knuckles but sonic still calls tom dad in sonic 2
I love how they adapted Sonic's eyes in this. With the white fur serving as the connection instead of doing the one eye, two pupils thing from the other mediums.
Right? I always thought the mono eye was stupid and im glad they changed it in live action
Initially, in the revised trailer, they did the one eye thing, and it made me a bit uneasy. It still looked 100% better. I was so pleasantly surprised that the final product was virtually flawless.
Same
Tyson Hesse, is a comic book artist who has worked with the Sonic franchise since 1993, helped redesign Sonic's look and came up with how to make his eyes a more realistic look without it being one big eye ball
@@rickprime83 Oh wow, the one eye definitely suits the classic design more imo.
Fun Fact!
Jeff Fowler, the director for these 2 movies actually has a history with Sonic! Not only is he a big fan but he also helped produce the cg opening to the Shadow the Hedgehog game!
Noice!
Despite how edgy and left field the Shadow The Hedgehog opening CG is... it was still lowkey highkey hype lmaooo
I look forward to any homages from that game in the 3rd movie.
@@ghostofsparta6877 if Jeff comes back, he better cause you know that’s right.
That's some of the best animation Sonic characters ever got. That and the opening to Sonic Unleashed.
One of the funniest things I heard about the movie is that all the Olive Garden references werent even product placement. They didnt get paid to put them in. It was an in joke within the writing staff that just kept getting added to several scenes.
I'm surprised they never went with any product placement related to the chili dogs!🌭
no way is that for real? that's so funny.
This movie is the embodiment of a redemption arc. It’s nice to know Paramount listened, and for Ben Schwartz’s sake too.
A actor/voice actor as beloved and talented as him didn’t deserve to voice Sonic if the design was the original.
Correct me if I’m wrong but, I’m pretty sure that the original design and theatrical design both has eyes and a mouth even though everyone complained about sonic having eyes and a mouth for a good reason... (I’m talking about a custom sonic design (well, what started as a sonic redesign) that’s a combination of daredevil (eye-less yet can see) from marvel comics and bill cypher (mouth-less but can talk) from gravity falls)
@@carlosjaimez9028 When has Sonic ever not had a mouth? I don't think I'm reading your comment right but I can't make it out
@@noremac7216 I meant a mask that doesn’t have a mouth on it. just like comparing Deadpool mask to Batman mask...
Ben Schwartz is amazing, so glad he was able to perform this role in a way befitting the performance and humor it created.
@carlos jaimez the difference is that this design LOOKS like Sonic, while the first design was an abomination
I'm pretty sure the Owl Mom is a completely original character created for the movie.
The Owl is from Ori and the blind forest :D
@@Axxidous there are owl carvings in Labyrinth Zone. One of the carvings actually appear in the beginning of this movie on rock in Green Hill Zone. The 2nd movie also seems to support this theory (not going to say how bc I dont want to risk spoiling people)
@@ssr8555 I think she's also inspired from a character from the OVA but I could be wrong
This movie shouldn’t have been so good. We’ve got at least two good video game movies now.
Three! :D Sonic, Sonic 2 and Werewolves Within.
Detective Pikachu was good imo
Detective Pikachu was good too so that's 3 good video game movies. Sonic 1 and 2 and detective Pikachu were the best videogame movies.
It maybe 4 depending on how good illuminations mario film does
@@m_knight-54 Oh god is it gonna be made by Illumination studio??? And here I had hopes
31:03 he doesn’t run up the side of the building because he wants to stay on earth for as long as he can, he is delaying having to leave
17:16 I always, always, ALWAYS, picture this scene, but with the ORIGINAL Sonic design, and it makes it ten times funnier
So many Easter eggs.
The Sanic drawing. The Hill Top rd sign as a reference to Hill top zone in Sonic 2.
San Francisco is where Sonic Team worked on Sonic Adventure 2.
The mushroom planet is both a reference to Mushroom Hill Zone in Sonic and Knuckles, and his line “I hate mushrooms” is a poke at Mario his biggest rival in gaming.
Robotnik’s drones are designed after a design in the SATAM cartoon series.
The badniks as a label in the breaker box.
Sonic’s map has a SEGA Saturn logo.
"He's faster than the Flash"
You underestimate how absolutely braindead fast the Flash is. He's no longer "Oh he can run real fast", he's "He can literally outrun the concept of Death and can vibrate himself so fast he can phase through walls."
Flash is so fast, he's no longer fun to watch. Sonic is reasonably fast and is fun to watch.
It depends on who writes the stories. I always loved the stories where he just helps everyone, even his villian to be better. He can joke around because he is fast enough.
Flash and Superman are beyond physical limits so putting hurdles in their way that can be overcome with their physical abilities, is boring. Thats why stories about social, cultural or psychological hurdles are far better.
Archie Comic Sonic tho,
You are forgetting the real op fast character: the roadrunner. He's practically unstoppable and can alter reality
@@berserker3414 "oh you thought that tunnel was paint?"
Archie Sonic ties with Flash (if we're talking Wally West) in speed. Sonic has outrun universe-ending creatures that could crush galaxies with their bare hands. If they were to fight, it would be a tie.
19:25 I mean, isn't Sonic with ADHD like canon? Dude literally jumps off the map if you let go of the controller long enough in Sonic CD.
Don’t you mean Sonic CD?
@@DDDiego Oh yeah u rite
It's a headcanon, it was never confirmed by the creators that he's neurodivergent. Sorry for being petulant but technically it's not canon (being a popular idea it doesn't make it canon) since being hyperactive isn't not just going fast, it's a complex thing and different people have different experiences. It would be cool tho
The post credit scene in Sonic 2 is CRAZY
what was it.. had to leave before seeing it.
@@jabbawookeez01 shadow
@@jabbawookeez01 this is why you shouldn't leave during the credits. Because you never know if there will be a post credit scene. Especially a good one like the one for part 2 with shadow.
"BLACK HEART EVIIIL, BRAVE HEARTED HEROOOO~!!"
@@pikachuspartan1868 “I AM ALL I AM ALL I AMMMMMM”
Finally! Can’t wait for the reaction to the sequel!
Also, Eggman is his original name in Japan where Sonic was created. But the American localization team decided to change it to Robotnik. Over time when the games became more story-focused they realized it was too much trouble to completely change everything involving his name so they changed it to Eggman in the US as well. A little explanation for why he has two canon names.
The sources I have read says that his name is Doctor Ivo Robotnik, but is better known by the alias Doctor Eggman. So that seems to suggest that Robotnik is the real name and Eggman is a nickname.
Yuji Naka, one of the people who originally created him, has explained that "Robotnik" is the character's true last name, while "Eggman" is a "common name taken after his shape."
@@Lupinemancer87 Yes that’s the canon explanation they decided to go with from Sonic Adventure 2 onwards. His full name is Dr. Ivo “Eggman” Robotnik. Any of his relatives are named Robotnik, but by all accounts the character’s name is Dr. Eggman because that’s what he’s always referred to as.
one thing i like about this group is that they dont even try to pretend to be geeks. they are upfront about being normies.
the honesty is much appreciated.
Simple enjoyment does not a simpleton indicate. It's nice to see just simple appreciative enjoyment with the action scenes and the comedy.
But yes Jim Carrey as Doctor Robotnik/Eggman is perfect casting
And as someone who has already seen the sequel I can tell you guys he just takes it to the next level in Sonic 2
@@TheAngrybird27 You got that right. I've seen the sequel in theatres and it was a masterpiece. I did not think Shadow would turn up so early.
Robotnik was always called eggman in japan. So robotnik technically wasn't his original "real" name
Eggman is his original name, when it came to English speaking countries, they named him Robotnik instead, and his name change to Eggman was them fixing it since Robotnik translates to Slave, so that probably wasn't meant for a light hearted villain in a family friendly game.
6:18 Love that scene of Sonic confirming his record
the qoute "rub that in my orphan face" always gets me
I think we all need a right hand man like Agent Stone lol
Could you imagine, back when the first trailer with that nightmare design came out, if someone from the future told you Sonic would not only be good but out perform superhero movies in the box office twice?
Edit: Man, Sonic really came full circle this year, didn't he?
The rings were used as portals since the first sonic game
This film and Detective Pikachu is proof that video games can be adapted to live action film.
This movie was much more fun than I was expecting Ng. I just saw Sonic 2 and I can’t wait for them to watch it.
Now I’m just excited to see their reaction to Sonic The Hedgehog 2 when ever it comes to Digital and DVD
Don't forget Blu-Ray.
Jim Carrey played Dr. Robotnik so perfectly. Also, I love how Sonic kept calling Tom "Donut Lord" X'DDDD.
Everyone laughs at the native american shadow wolves part but the shadow wolves are a real part of the military
I’m not sure if someone’s already commented this, but the shoes Sonic gets in the movie ARE real! They’re a pair of Puma women’s trainers (makes sense since Jojo probably pulled them from Rachel’s closet) that looked really similar to Sonic’s classic shoes by coincidence, although you can’t actually get them in red. I think they’re only available in white? could be wrong there, but I know the red was an edit for Sonic specifically
This was so refreshing to watch, an especially a treat to see these movies really have been as good for newcomers as it is for old fans (like, we KNOW that to be the case, but it’s different actually seeing it happen, y’know?). Can’t wait for you all to watch Sonic 2, it’s a great time :)
Oh this is going to be awesome. Sonic 2 was just awesome to watch. No Way Home was hype but Sonic 2 definitely hit all the nostalgia. Can’t wait for you guys to react to it.
Jim Carry really does it make these films. He is by far the best Egg man.
6:37 That turtle is having the best day of his life.
If the original Sonic design was that bad, just imagine what the original design for Tails was.
22:26 This sonic sure is almost as fast as flash, the movie like flash who is nerfed because of legiterally being too op. i´ll love to see a comparsion between all the quicksilver like scenes running around a room messing with everyone
This movie and the second had no business being as good as it was.
It's also filmed in Vancouver so it's fun for me to pick out where each scene was. (Same happened with Sonic 2, especially the opening scene)
Love seeing Rana gets emotional with sonic having his mental issues of sadness&sorrow. as that op anime said once "i can´t stop the loneliness"
Paramount announced back in February that they would be making not only a 3rd movie, but also a spinoff series for Paramount Plus featuring Knuckles, which is supposed to release some time next year (however at this point we haven't been told any additional info, so that's probably gonna be a late 2023 thing by my guess)
Sonic was the best videogame movie until last November. "Werewolves Within" costarring Milana Vayntrub(AT & T girl) is the most accurate as well as enjoyable videogame movie to date. You guys should check it out.
For Spidey's question at 43:44 - 44:00, Owl mom (Longclaw) is exclusive to the movieverse. She is one of the more recent owl characters in general Sonic media, there is also Old Man Owl from the OVA, Harvey Who from the Archie comics, Doctor Fukurokov (foo-coo-row-cov) from Tails Adventure, and Nite the Owl from the recent IDW comics. There are some others but I don't know if the other owls have any notable roles in other Sonic media but I THINK those are the more notable ones.
For clarification on the comics, Archie and IDW are not canon to each other, the IDW is the more recent comics that are canon adjacent to the games, and while the games are canon to them, they are not canon to the games, same instance with Archie to a degree, specifically the later portion of the run, the early run was more based on the SatAM cartoon and just general sillyness, it kept to the same general world to the SatAM lore, but due to issues, they had to retcon a lot of stuff so they would be more in line with the games, then eventually it was put in indefinite hiatus and the IDW comics started up being set after the events of Sonic Forces and it's version of the world.
If this sounds really complicated, it's because it is due to just over the years Sega and it's licensing just not being internally and externally consistent. Early on it was just no monitoring a lot outside of the games plus just over the years doing a lot of retcons to things to, in their eyes, make things easier to manage, but to most it just feels like needless complications or the explanations just generally feel like they make no sense when you think about them.
Also fun fact (for anyone reading who doesnt know), the reason you tend to hear him be called "Eggman" more and not use the "Robotnik" name all that much, is because the name Robotnik was completely made up by Sega of America without really consulting the main team (from a 2016 Game Informer interview with Takashi iizuka):
"They just kind of went off and did it. It became super popular and everyone in the West kind of learned about the character as Robotnik. That went on through the "classic" series in the Genesis/Mega Drive era, but as far as the developers are concerned... we really didn't want to have anyone in the [Sonic] universe with two names. To us, he's Eggman, but in the rest of the world he's called Robotnik. We wanted to unify that into one name moving forward. This is something I actually did in the Sonic Adventure series. I made it so that we understand the character's name is Robotnik, but his nickname is Eggman, and as far as everyone is concerned in the world now, we're just going to call him Eggman as his official name."
You can still hear the "awwwwwww" in the night
This movie was better than it should have been. ITS SO GOOD!
Just recently saw Sonic 2 and IT WAS AMAZING.
I can't wait for y'all to watch the sequel
I was pleasantly surprised by it, after the initial trailer there was some worry but they really listened to the fanbase and delivered something really fun!
i haven't seen the 2nd yet, but looking at the trailers it leans even more into what makes Sonic so appealing.
Have you seen it?
If Sonic was a Pokemon:
Type: Electric/Ground
Ability: Speed Boost-Speed stats increase every turn.
Move Set: Stomp (Ground), Electric Charge (Electric), Roll Out (Rock), and Extreme Speed (Normal).
"SEGAAAAA" that hit me right in the nostalgia.
Honestly if they liked this movie they are going to go absolutely ballistic for the sequel
Cant wait for you guys to watch the second movie
When you see Sonic 2 there is an end credit scene so don't leave until the end of the initial credits
Keanu reference was iconic
This movie would've been horrifying with that original design.
Also: Baby Yoda > Baby Sonic > Baby Groot.
The normies is the only reaction channel that will make me watch a movie I haven't seen just to watch there reaction. 😭😭😭
Im excited for your reaction for the 2nd sequel, looking forward to it 😊
I love that you recognized Michael Hogan from BSG -- that would be a great show for you guys to react to!
34:12
I laughed at "get the f^^king rings"
Micky: "I think he's faster than flash."
Me: "which flash we talking about? CWs maybe, any other not even remotely."
Archie Sonic Would beg to differ
@@KingBeckwood no itteration of the sonic is anywhere remotely as fast as the flash
@@houseofaction Archie Sonic definitely is as fast as certain versions of Flash lol, not the fastest version of flash tho.
@@tiktaco4391 he is the fastest is Wally west which is infinite speed same as Archie Sonic
I already can’t wait to see them react to sonic 2
Hmm Rana should show the 'Mario and Sonic making out' meme to her mom 💀
OMG!!! I loved this reaction so much, I’m also so glad everyone liked the movie too
This just makes me even more excited for Sonic 2
Oh my god, the Eurekas Castle toys on the table are sending me.
You talking about that Sonic & Knuckles cartridge reminded me of stacking the 32X, then the Game Genie, then Sonic & Knuckles, then Sonic three. The genesis looked so funny when you add all the extra stuff ... damn that brings back memories.
I can't believe you guys have three Eureeka's Castle figures on the table. I used to watch that show on Nickelodeon waaay back in the day when I was a little kid. Man, you're really bringing the Nostalgia today. We should just roll in the member berries lol.
I kind of want them to watch the Sonic Boom cartoon now. It’s such a weird sitcom with a lot of actual funny social commentary I think it would be a fun reaction.
Nah Mickey tripping if he thinks that Sonic will ever be faster than The Flash. One can time travel, the other is a animal that cant even break Mac 5
If the 4 of you come back for Sonic 2 You should all do character related outfits, Spidey literally has the same style as the echidnas, Micky could definitely pull off a Robotnik. It would be awesome
I love this movie too. I'm a huge Sonic fan to the end. I love this reaction and I can't wait for your reaction to Sonic 2.
You guys will love the sequel.
both megamind and this movie has the kind of beginning i love for haha movies like these
Rana´s mom is indeed a true gamer
This was an amazing reaction, and it's one of my favorites. We all know it was a great movie, but it was a treat seeing how into the film you guys were, and how much you were enjoying it. I agree so much, that it would have been bad, if they had gone with the original design. The movie was good, but it would have been hard to enjoy, if you had the nagging feeling that everything was 'off'. I am glad they cared enough about the fans that they listened. It wasn't just good for fans, but it was good for the production. After all, what is the point of producing something, that is doomed to fall short, if the means for success are within your grasp? This reaction gets an A+.
7:29 Sanic lmao
I loved this movie so much! So much nostalgia, and the second is EVEN BETTER! Hope you guys can watch that as well. :)
Normies you guys are right sonic is way faster than flash
This is fantastic. I think you will love the second one.
4:08 is when the reaction starts.
"Sonic is...MY BESTO FRIENDO"
Faster than Quick Silver 100%, deff. not fater than The Flash thou.
In the end it depends on the version, like in some instances they have Sonic being faster than the flash by comparison but the flash has more versions of himself that are DEFINITELY faster than sonic has ever been (and probably ever will be) soooo
Archie Sonic Would beg to differ
@@seeminglyawesomeanimations6920 archie sonic?
@@KingBeckwood base flash beats archie sonic
The thing is that we have never seen Sonic at his true speed at all.
Can’t wait for y’all to watch The Batman when It comes to hbo max!
I guess they've already seen it on theatres but will still rewatch it like they did for No Way Home
I wish u could react to sonic 2!I like how you guys react to movies!
The girl: TAILS LETS FUCKIN GO!!!! PLEASE FLY PLEASE!!! YESSSSS!
NICE SONIC THE HEDGEHOG (2020 ) FILM - GROUP REACTION !!!
Y'ALL MISSED THE THE 2ND POST CREDIT SCENE!!
Wait, did Rana say she has never seen Forrest Gump? Ya'll need to remedy that.
Jim Carry as Dr. Eggman. Great casting.
I love this movie so much. 💙
Just watched the sequel recently and it was so good.
3:15 revolutionary technology
Sonic Spinball was the second most ridiculously difficult Sega Genesis game, second to Battletoads
6:45 poor shoes? poor turtle
Fun fact:Michael Jackson composed songs including the end credits for sonic 3 sadly a majority of it was scrapped during his allegations at the time and also because he wasn’t happy with the results. But you can still hear traces of his songs in some of the music! 💁🏾♂️
Y’all will literally lose your s***t when you react to Sonic the Hedgehog 2 then!!! I loved it
If I were them I would be singing memories bring back memories bring back
This has more redemption than Sonic 06
The Robotnik Dance >>> the Joker Dance. This is fact lol 😎
The Simpsons, Eureka's Castle, Schumacher Ivy. I'm sensing a 90's theme going on here.
Hey Wow! I see toys of Eureeka, Magellan and Batley from "Eureeka's Castle" on the table!
Memories!...
34:00 what is up with that girl and mushrooms? I get the mushroom reference, but why would Sonic send them to a planet he doesn't like?
He’s faster than the CW flash’s average feats, but even then the CW flash literally stopped time for a whole ep. so no sonic ain’t faster
Very first Sonic The Hedgehog game, Christmas present that year when I got my first game console when I got the Sega Genesis
Sonic cart
Me: Can you hear the sunshine?
Yes I’m glad you guys watch Sonic 😁
The recent Game movies has been really Great.
Im excited for Sonic 2 and Mario I think it will be a good, fun and rest your brain movie. 😁
Loved it but yes to reacting to “SPEED” !!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏼🙏🏼
