I’d say Keanu is a great guy but a mediocre actor a lot of the time. Despite this Shadow is actually one of his best performances, he actually manages to put a lot of emotion into Shadow. It’s rare Keanu is able to put so much emotion into his voice so this is almost an anomaly in his filmography. This is probably due to Shadow as a character lending itself well to Keanus natural speaking voice, Keanus great work ethic and the amazing voice direction.

My favorite Keanu lines from Sonic 3:

“You jumped out of a G.U.N helicopter, there’s nothing to talk about”

“ I don’t know what I’d do without you”

“I’ve spent 50 years reliving what they did to her, this is who I am inside”

“Now you know my anger, the pain I’ve felt for 50 YEARS”

“The pain. It’s too much”

I really do and I enjoyed the nearly four months of it.

I think they should make 6 moves, so we have 3 trilogies, and then a TV show that frequently gets new episodes that introduces new characters to the franchise. Although, sonic is the only franchise that can get more than 10 movies with nobody complaining. What are your thoughts?

For those who don't know Sony was originally gonna make the Sonic Movie but Sony sold the rights to Paramount resulting to the film we got now but how different would it be if Sony released it instead of Paramount?

This is my idea of how the Sonic movies should end and how a second trilogy would look like

For 1, each film in this sequel trilogy should lead directly into each other.
The first three had to build this universe’s foundation, so it was fine that each film was self contained. But now that all that’s established the next three films needs to have a coherent evolving plot to keep things interesting and set up a satisfying finale

But what could that plot be? Well here’s my pitch. The theme of the first trilogy was HUMBLE BEGINNINGS. The theme of the next trilogy should be SHATTERED REALITY
We know Time Travel is the plot of Sonic 4, so why not explore the consequences of that? I’m thinking by the end of Sonic 4 Time will be thoroughly screwed beyond repair, things by the end of Sonic 4 may seem fine but the Time Travel shenanigans have permanently scarred reality. Slowly but surely Sonic’s Universe is now dying because of the events of Sonic 4

That’s where Sonic 5 and 6 pick up. A Time Traveling Hedgehog named Silver, determined to fix Reality is introduced as the newcomer of Sonic 5 and 6 as Sonic 6 won’t introduce any more new main characters being the finale. A character that will directly confront Sonic for breaking the universe is a really interesting way to show the consequences of Sonic’s actions against Time.

I imagine Sonic 5 and 6 will be a space sprawling adventure, Sonic and friends finally explore the cosmos and visit more game locations and characters. This would a great way to get the audience attached to the wider Sonic Movie Universe as we’ve mainly only seen Earth, which is important as this time the entire Universe is at stake so we need to care about this Universe. it also leaves room for more niche locations, characters and references to make their big screen debut without the commitment of making an entire film based on Sonic Colors, Sonic Lost World or Sonic Riders. We could also revisit Sonic’s old home to bring this series of films full circle.
I wouldn’t want to leave Earth behind completely though as it’s been the anchor of this film series, so that is why I would have Team Dark serve as the Earthbound storyline. A more grounded story focused on Team Dark to contrast the massive space adventure the rest of the cast will go on.
And Silver would be our anchor point, alternating between traveling the cosmos with Team Sonic and doing Earth missions with Team Dark. Silver would be our POV character, seeing first hand the destruction events of previous films have caused and getting to contribute to all sides of this massive story

We need to complete the lore of the Sonic Movies in this final set of films. We gotta learn more about the Chaos Emeralds and where they came from. It would be nice to learn more about the Echidnas and Owl clans as well. Perhaps we could learn that Angel Island is the birthplace of the Chaos Emeralds in this universe, that would be a cool way to introduce Angel Island to these films

We need a villain, someone to facilitate the stakes. And MEPHILES is the perfect choice. He is a very different kind of villain, he hides in the shadows and manipulates events behind the scenes. I think that is a really unique take on a villain for the Sonic movies that we have not seen before. Perhaps Mephiles is a primordial being of destruction that is locked in some kind of cosmic prison, before one of the Space Time rifts let him free. That would be a great way to tie him to the events of Sonic 4 as the Time Rifts opened by Sonic and Robotnik causes his escape, but that’s just one way they could do Mephiles. He would be bent on destroying the universe and intends to speed up the decaying process caused by the Space Time rifts to do so.

As Sonic 5 progresses, we would see reality start to crumble. Massive Space Time rifts forming in the sky, deviating Earth Quakes. Before by the end of Sonic 5 things look as bad as ever, Mephiles wins and Space Time is screwed. Maybe he even kills Sonic.
Sonic 6 would be a final race to save the universe where all our characters are together after spending the majority of Sonic 5 separated. concluding with the Iconic Silver, Sonic, and Shadow vs Solaris fight. I would go one step further and have this be the first time in the Sonic movies that Amy, Tails, and Knuckles go super for the ultimate Super Showdown to save reality.
After defeating Solaris the Universe is still decaying. Everything and everyone is dying, there is nothing they can do.
Well, there is one thing they can do. Together, every one of the main characters in the Sonic Movies combine their Super Chaos Energy to perform the largest Chaos Control ever and recreate the universe from scratch exactly how it was. A massive feat that not even the games have ever done(though I hear the Archie Comics have done something similar)

After all is said and done, it’s time to wraps things up for good for the Sonic Movies. Here’s how I imagine each characters story would end:

Team Dark- remains on Earth as its trusted protectors in Team Sonic’s absence

Tails-returns to his home planet and uses his intelligence to make life better for his people

Knuckles-stays in Angel Island, the birthplace of the Chaos Emeralds, to make sure the Emeralds never fall into the wrong hands again

Silver-ceases to exist because of the Timeline being restored. Though Silver is happy about this as it means his mission is complete

Amy and Sonic-leave Earth to be intergalactic Nomads. Traveling Planet to Planet, helping anyone they can, and living free as the wind

Eggman-uses his inventions to better the world with Agent Stone, Remains a villain for Team Dark to deal with, Or dies for real

Tom and Maddie-enjoy the quiet life on Earth. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy visit with Warp Rings for holidays

Aaaaand yeah, that’s how I would end the Sonic Movies. I’ve had this idea for a good while so it’s about time I put it into text.

P.S: the Sonic 5 and 6 logos are self-made

Obviously I don't think they're ever going to show up in these films given a multitude of factors but let's say in a scenario Paramount is able to use them decides to use them and introduces them into the film continuity

How would you do it? Would it be in a TV show or a film? How much would you pull from the cartoon and comics and what would you change for the movie universe?

Does anybody know who the actor circled in orange is?

What are your Predictions for a tails spin off movie

(Without counting the humans + metal and amy) All the characters from the games in the movie have had their momments.

Sonic is the protagonist obviously.

Knuckles was good in both sonic 2 and 3 and had his own show

Robotnik clearly has his momments

Shadow aswell

But i feel like tails didn't get to do much. what do you think of this?

I think Metal Sonic and Shadow have a very interesting dynamic and seeing them throw down would be very cool for both characters

For Shadow it would show that he is not invincible. In Sonic 3 Shadow was pretty much the pinnacle of power, he could beat Team Sonic all at once. When Super Sonic yeeted him off the Eclipse Cannon he didn’t even flinch, this shows he is pretty cocky of his own abilities. So I can see Shadow throwing himself into Metal Sonic with no doubt the fight will be over quickly.
BUT, Metal is different. Metal is a cold calculating machine who thinks far faster than any organic being and does not get tired. The fight would start off even with Metal and Shadow going blow for blow. but the longer the fight goes Shadow starts getting winded while Metal Sonic doesn’t let up, before Shadow slips up and allows and opening for Metal Sonic to win the battle.
This would severely harm Shadows ego, this is the first time he’s suffered a loss like this and his title as the ULTIMATE LIFEFORM is truly challenged. This would be a great humbling situation for Shadow and kickstart an Arc about learning to rely more on others.

It’s pretty fitting for Metal Sonic as he’s always trying to prove himself . If Metal Sonic challenges Sonic’s speed then He Challenges Shadows combat. Plus it would make the audience feel like Metal Sonic is a true threat by having him defeat the strongest pre-established character.
