Maria Meets Shadow Scene | SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3 (2024) Movie CLIP HD

[@JennyBlaze253]

This scene was absolutely perfect. They sold to us completely in 5 minutes Maria and Shadow's relationship in this movie from this one scene. Immediately makes Maria a likeable character, and even if you're unfamiliar with the games you understand that something tragic is gonna happen to her.

[@brettlarch8050]

I mentioned this in another video of this but I’ll say it again: Here’s a detail I love about this moment. It was 1974 when everything happened and he came back in 2024. Maria wore 1970’s clothes, they had a record player, the tv they watched everything on was small and black and white. It wasn’t till the late 70’s when colored tv became more popular. These historical details made this feel more like a piece of shadow’s history. And the roller skates too! Roller skating was hot in the 70’s! My mom went to undergrad in the 70’s and told me roller skating was very very popular at the time!

[@IvanKNIGHTFROGSROCK]

i hate to rain on your parade but, the song they're listening to is from 1988! I wouldn't mind so much if it was non-diegetic, but they draw attention to how they're listening to the record. (I wanna stress I'm only having a bit of fun. i LOVE this movie! its actually funny that in a movie where alien hedgehogs breathe in space, that THIS is the one thing that took me out of the movie XD)

The only thing they got wrong was the song. End of the Line came out in 1988 and this scene is supposed to take place during 1974. But it does have a very 70s feel to it.

I mean this was a good summary of Mara's backstory with Shadow and all, but can anyone explain why she was there in a top secret lab, letting Shadow loose in the lab despite having a lot of Chaos energy, and even allowing him to go outside..I assume I guess they want Shadow to learn humanity and minimize his threat just in case?

[@cjkalandek996]

Given the context of where Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, and Shadow come from in this franchise, do you think Shadow is from the same planet as Sonic but was jettisoned after they realized his power was too chaotic to control or something? And before anyone starts biting my head off, I know of Shadow's actual backstory from the games (even though I've never played any of the games).

[@sk_hermit1809]

Maybe Shadow was meant to infiltrate Earth to prepare Black Doom's arrival only to be experimented on by GUN and guided by Maria.

[@pokesonav]

The meteorite that Shadow arrived in looked like it's related to Black Doom. So that part most likely is still true, just means that Black Doom made Shadow without Geralt.

[@alceratops6853]

I'm thinking the movie-makers will probably incorporate the Black Arms into Shadow's origin. They likely sent their special lifeform Shadow to conquer the Earth or something, only for him to have no memory of his original purpose or for him to be a sleeper agent of sorts.

I going with nothing so unnecessary as being abandoned or jettisoned by his own people but being kidnapped and enhanced by black arms or otherwise captured (a fate sonic avoided) could easily work.
