IMO, I’d say Alastor is the more evil of the two.
Bro didn’t care about the Pentagram being destroyed, and only ended up helping the cast at the end because he made a deal for his staff to be repaired.
And Alastor doesn’t have that “I lost loved ones” reason to act the way he does like Afton does.
However, I’d like to hear what you think.
Let’s imagine an alternate timeline where Hollywood gets its hands on the Sonic IP in the mid-2000s.
Fresh off the release of the 2005 Shadow the Hedgehog game, a studio decides to fast-track a movie centered entirely around Shadow, releasing it around 2008.
This directly mirrors a real-world situation from 1997/1998, where New Line Cinema almost made a solo Venom movie completely independent of Spider-Man. In this alternate timeline, Shadow launches a movie series where Sonic the Hedgehog doesn't even exist yet.
Black Doom will likely serve as the main villain of the film (just as he did in the 2005 game). The Black Arms function as a massive alien threat invading Earth, forcing a reluctant, amnesiac Shadow to choose between his alien heritage and protecting humanity alongside G.U.N.
I am incredibly curious about how three major production details would look in this specific 2007–2010 era, and I’d love to hear the sub's thoughts on them:
1: Which Hollywood Studio will pick up the rights for this?
2: Who’d be cast to play/voice the characters?
3: How would the CGI characters actually look?
How do you see this hypothetical late-2000s movie playing out?
You likely won’t notice it at first, but you might when comparing it to the original song.
What do y’all think?
With the quality of Season 5 not being all that good, does anyone else feel like we should’ve gotten an animated series closer to the comics like Invincible?
I’m aware we got a little glimpse from Episode 3 of Diabolical (I’m Your Pusher), but I really wish they went that route from the start instead of what we’re getting right now.
I know that the books were a bit edgy at times, but let’s not pretend the show isn't just as gross. We’ve had things like the Termite scene and the Deep’s octopus moments.
The show leans into that type of shock value just as much, it’s just done in live-action. At least in an animated style like Invincible, that level of gore feels more like an intentional art style rather than just a CGI gross-out.
Do you think animation would have better handled the scale of the Supe fights, or does the live-action cast bring something to these characters that a comic-accurate show never could?
