Honestly, I don't think this movie is going to have Amy and Rouge since Robotnik and his latte soy boy are included so I don't have any hopes about it. I mean, Knuckles show had boring Wade drama instead of Team Chaotix. Even though I don't care about the third movie since the second one and Knuckles show destroyed my hopes on cinematic universe, I just wish this Shadow wouldn't end up only an edgelord just like his game counterpart. And it would be even worse if Paramount decides to make Shadow Sonic's reoccurring villain. Regardless, any of the old characters can't and won't come back because Sega is lazy and spiteful unlike, say Nickelodeon with TMNT, so no matter what the quality is I'm still not hyped about any of Sonic projects in this decade so far. Like, technically it is the right way of Sonic becoming cool again for wider audience, but at the same time I know it was mainly due to giant cut Sega made which basically thrown out a solid chunk of devoted fans which were never even acknowledged by Sega. Oh, and I still can't believe somebody seriously thinks Maria is Shadow's girlfriend in 2024. I thought it was a 2000's brain rot mistake just like Kill-Sally-Club or Sonic Passion.
