I figured I should whip this up and get it out there before the second movie comes out and nobody cares about anyone's take on the first one anymore. More vids coming soon including my take on the sequel.

[@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.

[@kyon813]

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.

[@chellenemi]

I feel like they did the first design on purpose lollol

[@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.

[@AmadeusFandubs]

Robotnik is my absolute favorite thing in this film, and it's entirely due to his motivations. I love the fact they don't portray him as just some wackass smart guy who wants to take over the world because he's wackass and smart; he's an actual scientist, attempting to capture Sonic in order to make scientific studies on him. 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.

[@AndyHappyGuy]

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.

I think the reason why Longclaw didn't go through the portal is to ensure only Sonic got through. If they both went through, what's preventing a few Echidna's from following.

[@Granditamias]

You forgot to mention that Knuckles’ clan from SA1 was in the movie during the island flashback. Hesse even confirmed the echidna who shot Longclaw was chief Pachacamac. Not sure if it’s a deep-cut reference but it has some lore implications and I hope they touch on that in some capacity in the sequel, especially with Knuckles showing up. All things considered, great video.

Looking back on it, I’m glad that they didn’t use the Chaos Emeralds in the first movie like they were going to. 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.

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.

The Olive Garden thing works if you think of it (and I wish this had been IN the movie) as "The General got it out of his own pocket, because the government literally could not acknowledge Sonic without acknowledging that Robotnik was in their employ, and he *destroyed world landmarks* while technically an employee."

[@k9spy289]

The population on the sign might be a nod to the year Mario was made, and in turn sonic after him.

3:46 *THERE WAS A SONIC BIBLE?!*

[@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!

[@WorthlessWinner]

8:00 Robotnik explicitly conquering a couple of countries for the CIA was also strange

[@BlueEyedVibeChecker]

The Sonic in the thumbnail looks like he's about to lecture me on an inappropriate joke I made at the dinner table.

[@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.

[@JumperAce]

I dislike whenever there's a small creature in a movie that passes for a child with the simplest of disguises It's like, no, that's not a child, it's a never before seen thing with a poncho on

[@Sb129Gaming]

Never thought I’d see you upload again

[@relix7373]

This channel is one of my favorites lmao. Something about your stuff just feels so much more authentic than 99% of the shit out there.

[@ColdFuse96]

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.

[@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.

[@Lucky_9705]

When we all needed him the most, Cybershell finally returned

[@nevertheweck]

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

[@vanilla8956]

I like how a sizable amount of this video is focused on feet and shoes.

[@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.

[@SonisticPlus]

@@Abralake LMAO

[@zachpro5475]

Some one get bird man to sin this video

[@sonyabladesbooty3890]

Wow been so starved for Cybershell content I was watching the Chao video on a daily basis. Finally something new!

[@HellboyBr11]

I like that in this Sonic verse, the characters are from another planet, so they can coexist with humans, and there's not that mess of games

[@ILikeSoda229]

I agree with everything that was said in this Video, that being said, pretty damn good. Definitely need to Re-Watch this movie when I get the chance, haven’t seen it since it came out, which was 2 Years Ago.
