Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Pitch Meeting

Step inside the pitch meeting that led to Sonic the Hedgehog 2!
Subscribe to the NEW CHANNEL for more Pitch Meetings: / @pitchmeetings
After a rocky start in the public opinion based on some questionable CGI choices, the first Sonic the Hedgehog movie ended up being a surprise hit- and thus, a sequel was ordered almost immediately. This time around, Sonic is joined by other fan favorites from the game- Tails and Knuckles.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 definitely raises a few questions. Like is it okay to travel internationally via portal like that? Why are we spending so much time on this sister-in-law wedding storyline? Does Sonic sometimes forget that he has superspeed? Did Sonic just kill a guy? What was up with that agency’s plan for catching Sonic and how did they think that was a good strategy?!
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Sonic the Hedgehog 2! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Fun fact about Sonic. In the games, Sonic doesn’t have a “no killing” rule. He kills gods and bad guys all the time. If eggman is gonna start shit, it’s all on him to get himself out of it. Direct quote: “Guess I can’t be the hero every time.” -2009 Sonic ATBK

[@infiniteoctopaw]

@@Geostelar4920 Literally in the last mainline game, 2017 Sonic Forces. Sonic and the avatar kill Infinite the Jackal. It’s even confirmed in the 2021 Encyclospeedia published by Sega. Before that was the last Mainline sonic game, 2013 Sonic Lost World when we drop Zavok in lava. The fact he survived is never explained. And for good measure, in the same game, he removed the exhaust hose off eggman’s get away jet pack having him take a Wile E Coyote type fall of thousand of feet. In 2011 Sonic Generations, he left 2 eggman’s for dead in a timeless purgatory void. In 2010’s Sonic colours he left eggman to die in space. 2009’s Sonic and The Black Knight, he kills King Arthur. The mainline game before that was 2008’s sonic unleashed where as Super sonic, he lobotomized Dark Gaia. This continues on but, you get my point. Sonic doesn’t take on the burden of protecting the bad guys. It’s a very Goku like character trait. That doesn’t mean Sonic is a merciless monster. if a antagonist want to surrender, they have literally every opportunity, but if they are dead set on hurting him and ESPECIALLY his friends/family, sonic has little room for pity. The movie absolutely NAILED this.

I think what really pulls both sonic movies together is Jim Carry. The Mask, Ace Ventura, Liar Liar, etc all follow a very similar theme where the movie has fun doing fun things, lets us get to know the characters in strange and interesting ways, and doesn't take its self too seriously. I really don't know if they can pull off a sonic 3 without him...

This was a really good movie and really well done. The plot besides the weird wedding subplot really felt like a Sonic game. I wanted to say this because there are a lot of people not planning on seeing it in the comments. If you grew up playing Sonic games, you will enjoy it.

[@TF2Fan101]

Honestly, I liked the twist they had with the wedding subplot. Usually in movies like this, the wedding subplot adds nothing to the story. Here, though, it turns out the whole thing was ultimately staged. Now, does it take up a bit too much time? Maybe, but at least it has some overall bearing on the story (Unlike the one in Tom and Jerry).

[@SeraphsWitness]

I agree, the Siberian dance fight and the wedding were silly. But the movie was full of subtle game references that only seasoned gamers would understand. Sonic breathing from a bubble was amazing.

[@mayebeline1149]

"Sonic just straight up kills a guy?" I mean, canonically Robotnik and Sonic are actual adversaries going all-out against each other with extreme real-life stakes. The games are colorful and fun, but their conflict is still grimly serious. Neither one of them would have a problem killing the other, except for the part where it's actually difficult because they're both incredibly dangerous. Sonic has successfully managed to kill Robotnik in several official canons. Not sure if the reverse has happened where Robotnik killed Sonic, but if it hasn't happened then it wasn't from a lack of trying (although Robotnik is generally portrayed as someone who is pursuing his own goals which aren't about Sonic, and he only ends up in conflict with Sonic because Sonic is choosing to pursue and fight him to stop those goals). That being said, Robotnik is extremely difficult to kill. He has a genius intellect, advanced technology, an endless army of loyal subordinates, and he has contingencies for contingencies for contingencies. On top of that, he prioritizes his own self-preservation above all else, and typically sets up additional hidden layers of contingencies specifically designed to aid his survival and escape in the event of worst case scenarios. If Sonic wasn't trying to kill Robotnik, he would be crushed in a despairingly one-sided bloodbath. They are both too dangerous for them to not be going all-out against each other. There is no respectable Sonic canon where Sonic would see Robotnik falling to his death and think about trying to help him. tl;dr: In the movie, you never see Robotnik hit the ground and die. Therefore he didn't die. If the movie version of Robotnik will remain anything like his older counterparts, then he had a contingency in place to ensure he would survive if he fell from a lethal height.

[@rosssager6842]

Anyone who's played the games has seen Robotnik in the middle of an exploding robot that falls off the screen, while Sonic poses for the Level Score with a big smile on his face. Usually, right after that, Robotnik flies back on screen with a jetpack, or blasts off in an escape pod, or one of innumerable other ways he's survived Sonic destroying his end level boss robots. If Carey decides to come back, a one minute scene showing him flying out of the falling robot using rocket boots or something is all they'd need to explain his survival.

[@proffesorspiderlastname5654]

Sonic has died but mainly due to something caused by robotnik (like in sonic '06) but he never stays that way either due to the chaos emeralds or something else (again like in sonic '06.)
