Thoughts on the First Sonic Movie

[@gillythekid]

To put into perspective how quickly they killed Longclaw, I was on a Valentine’s date for this movie, and my date wanted popcorn, but the movie was about to start, so she got our seats while I got the popcorn. It only took a couple minutes, and I only missed the first few minutes of the movie. I didn’t find out until after the movie that Longclaw was a character.

@An On I mean the first design of Movie Sonic proved that already

[@ExaltedUriel]

Honestly, I'd argue that the "bomb stuck to hand/glove" scene was improved by the silliness of "why doesn't he just take his glove off", since it makes it almost more of a comedic scene. Like there's no _real_ tension there to begin with, Sonic's not gonna fuckin die halfway through the movie, the absurdity of it being stuck to his _glove_ being such a big deal turns a contrived scene, into a still contrived, but a little funnier scene.

I didn't care if it was product placement or not. I thought it was funny because I could _absolutely_ see the US Government doing that.

[@GamingintheAM0801]

The Olive Garden thing actually started as the joke at the end, where the US government rewards Tom with a gift card. They just thought it would be funny if their big reward for saving the world was something totally mundane. It was after that that the writers worked backwards and made a reference to it earlier to sort of set up the joke. Zillow was 100% product placement, though.

The thing about this movie, is that it's more of a setup. If they went ham on Sonic related stuff right away it probably wouldn't have been as good.

[@ayrtonjoga]

FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT It's so annoying that fans are saying "this movie is too basic and simple", of course it is, the Sonic lore is too complex and confusing to throw it all in the first movie, the stakes and world building needs get bigger and bigger with sequels, which seems like it's gonna happen now Another annoying argument is "Sonic being sad and alone is out of character", they forget that Sonic is a teen in the games and he is still a kid in the movie, people grew and change with age

[@DeadwingDork]

This movie is way better than it had any right to be. It's not perfect, but man was it better than I would have ever expected it to be after that disastrous first trailer. It's also a lot less condescending to its audience than the typical kids movie seems to be these days.

[@Ruldolphmaker]

reading the longclaw intro, I think it could have worked if they redid one small part I have 2 versions of it: 1: Long claw is hit by an arrow in a fatal spot. She makes it to earth, but cannot continue living on too much longer She's bedridden and Sonic sees her dying wondering what can be done, until she tells him to make peace with it. She passess. Sonic is still a young baby so his isolation plays into it still. 2: Longclaw is critically injured and forces sonic through the portal, holding back the Echidnas is an excuse, the camera cuts to her arrow wound, she's critically injured, and doesn't want Sonic to watch her suffer. This plays just about as quickly as the final version with a few shots added for dramatic impact.

[@WildSableye]

Omg, just imagining version 2 got me really sad. Like to explain to the audience Longclaw didn't come w/ Sonic bc her wound was gonna kill her, you kinda have to show the aftermath. And I'm just imagining her lying on the ground and accepting it after she closes the portal.

It's not Sonic trying to stop the big bad man from doing big bad things, it's the big bad trying to stop Sonic in order to perform scientific research. It's so cool.

In the second movie it just wrecks this whole thing and Robotnik becomes the generic power hungry villain you see in the game. To be honest, this fits quite well since Robotnik was stranded on the mushroom planet for months, and just found out about the master emerald.

If they did, it would have taken the attention away from Sonic and the character building, and would have been there just for fan-service. I’m very optimistic for the sequel. Also, I didn’t have a single clue about some of those references on the map. The emerald I noticed, but referencing old concept art was actually a very sly way of adding another reference without being too “in your face” about it.

[@AndyHappyGuy]

[@theleonpasta7336]

To be fair, there kinda is a reason for Longclaw to stay back, if she hadn't blocked the echidna's view of the portal ring until it disappeared they would have been able to find Sonic/the location of the Master Emerald, they make it clear in the 2nd movie that you just need to see the place to be able to make the ring take you there.

8:25 Actually, in regards to why Eggman isn't fat, I watched this movie and thought they were going for the taller and more militant Eggman from Sonic Boom. That one isn't as fat as Classic or Modern Eggman, but he still has a good amount of heft to him, and he does have a more chaotic behavior compared to the silly but straightforward Classic Eggman or straight up evil and for conquest Modern Eggman.

The Goodblood reference at 7:20 won me over.

I'm always ready for a new Cybershell video.

[@alejandroguerra7561]

literally yesterday i was rewatching the sonic 3 bonus video, what a great creator Cybershell is

[@distance7721]

Always nice to see Cybershell post out of nowhere

[@irrelevantonyt]

I'm from Australia where the Sonic Movie 2 has been out for a while now, and I gotta say, it's insanely good. Very much recommend.

[@HOTD108_]

It's just a remake of HOP. I can't imagine anyone caring about it if it didn't have the Sonic branding on it.

[@anonrockwell7331]

they should've called this movie: Tom the Cop and his Black Wife ft. Sonic the Hedgehog

[@kuliper3155]

I love cybershell even if he uploads once a year

[@TurPool_]

5:56 they also made a gfuel sanic chili dog flavor drink. It supposedly tasted disgusting, which was, you know, the point.

[@biodock2003]

Name: Dr.Robotnik Nickname: Dr Eggman Name: Dr.Octavius Nickname: Dr. Octopus Both villains have a badass name which transforms into a sillier one later on, coincidence I think NOT!

I want to let you know I zoomed in on a random black pixel in the sea of green dots in r/place and found your Reddit profile but I could not refind the pixel and thus I am devastated

[@FwendlyMushwoom]

I watched it again too in preparation for the sequel, and my main thoughts are that it's not a Sonic movie, it's a movie with Sonic in it. I'm very glad it did well though so that we're getting the sequel, which is looking like it's going to be an actual Sonic movie, in terms of characters, plot, and overall design.

[@BoxoSpoons]

I mean, Jeff Fowler said himself that this first one was essentially a proof of concept so Paramount would give them the budget to make a proper Sonic movie.

[@Fluxuation]

“Fast ET” is the most relatable thing to call this movie

[@Hornetog9vp]

1:41 that sure is a cinemasin moment because the answer is pretty obvious. She was blocking ring path make sure mexican echidna don't cross the border. what the point of teleporting if bad guy can follow you with teleportation. She sacrificed herself so echidna didn't get sonic and leave the dimension.

[@kingbash6466]

I was going to argue that wouldn’t make sense since see could just fly like in the deleted scenes, but then I just remembered in the final movie she got shot by an arrow, so she didn’t have many options left.

[@zachpro5475]

Some one get bird man to sin this video

[@nevertheweck]

4:50 one of the best jokes in a cybershell video

[@kirby2567]

Yes, I watch a sonic movie and the first thing I expect to see is a "Bar Fight Scene". Also I kinda hate when (Sonic media) does the Quicksilver gag with him because he's not that fast and can't break reality like a looney tunes character. At least give him a chaos emerald first.

[@SebisRandomTech]

I wonder if 1981 was supposed to be a reference to Mario, as that’s when Donkey Kong first came out.

[@TsharpInfinity]

As great as it is seeing Jim Carrey being Jim Carrey in movies again, I can't help but imagine Bryan Cranston being a much better fit for Robotnik.

[@RealAGuy]

*I AM THE ONE WHO KNOCKS HEDGEHOG* Cranston as eggman is pretty fitting now that I think about it.

[@gothiiispiderz]

or Mike Pollock/Game VA tbh I would be more willing to watch the movie if it had the game vas it's not that i don't like the movie, it's just that I despise Ben's voice

[@RealAGuy]

@@gothiiispiderz I agree Ben Schwartz Sonic is annoying as hell.

[@TheMettaur]

Ehhhhh I think Bryan Cranston Robotnik would channel too much Sonic 06.

[@1XSTEALTHTWINTURBOX1]

And yeah that old Sonic movie from I think 1996 was complete fire the music was absolutely insane from what I remember I have it on VHS I believe and bought it at a flea market when I was really young.
