Why Movie Tails Is Great

So, what are your thoughts about Tails in the Movie? Do you agree with my thoughts? Disagree? Let me know in the comments below cause this one was a bit divisive, so I am very interested in seeing your thoughts. I'll try to respond to as many comments as possible. I hope you all enjoy the video!

[@sekundaforgamer1238]

For the third movie, what if Shadow pushed tails to becoming braver? Let’s say he beats sonic and knuckles down in a fight and they’re injured badly. Shadow’s about to kill them, but then tails steps in ready to protect them. Shadow: “You really think a puny little coward like you can protect them from me?!”

[@thepjshow]

That would be really awesome.

[@Gacha_Nazrinofficial]

Yeah,but I Hope in the third movie,he realizes he can't rely on his gadgets,after he done relied on Sonic

[@Cloud-dt6xb]

Heh actually that would be a pretty good way to do it, and would be an awesome call back to what I consider the best moment for Tails in any form of media. That being the episode where he stands up to Shadow for an ENTIRE EPISODE using every trick he can think of until he's forced to just try to fight. He's awesome in general for Sonic X but that moment will always go down as my favorite one from him and if Sonic 3 called back to it I'd love it so much.

[@SBaby]

They literally did that in Sonic X. They had Tails protect his girlfriend from Shadow for a FULL EPISODE! Then he had to freaking kill her at the end of the series. This kid just can't catch a damn break.

[@SBaby]

@thedarkknight2424 I'm more mad about it because of why they did it and not because it happened. And this is something I came to realize recently. The purpose of killing her was to get things back to the status quo at the end. It had nothing to do with developing any characters, because Tails' arc had already peaked when he protected Cosmo from Shadow. THAT was his finest moment, nobly standing up to someone to protect a person he cared about, instead of needing someone else's help to do it like he usually does. He had grown past that and was now able to stand on his own two feet. Making Tails kill Cosmo at the end isn't just wrong and isn't just a betrayal of what he went through as well as the audience that was rooting for him, but it fundamentally hurt his development in favor of getting things back to a status quo, because they didn't want any real change. And not just there, but it hurt his development in the long run. This is a fact that became apparent for over a decade after this episode aired. The Sonic franchise hasn't undergone any kind of telling change in years. In fact, Tails has regressed to being the sidekick that needs to be rescued. This is why I'm hopeful that Ian Flynn can commit to what was seemingly promised in Frontiers, that change is going to come for the characters and that it will be change for the better. If Sega brought back Cosmo and made her canon, then for their part that could be truly symbolic of their desire to accept that kind of change. Nothing says that someone is willing to embrace change more than making adjustments to the dynamic.

[@cloudshines812]

If there is something I’ll praise the movie for doing, they didn’t do that typical cliche “kid’s movie” bullshit of having Sonic and Tails banter and separate from one another, only to find that they’re sad and lonely… and can’t do things alone. The filmmakers were smart in making Sonic and Tails have this incredibly strong bond and not falling into anything that would drag their relationship. Same can be said with Sonic and Tom Wachowski, how Sonic didn’t have a whole “your not my dad” crisis only to accept him in the end. They were close friends but then Sonic accepted him as a father figure with his new wingmen, Tails and Knuckles

[@Cloud-dt6xb]

Oh yeah I definetly hate it so much and you need to be a really good writer to make it work. I did not want them to attempt it for Tails though, and thank god they did'nt maybe later on they can have some kind of argument if it's earned but for this and the next movie we need to see the strong bond Sonic and him have.

More evidence that Tails' character arc isn't finished can be found in "Drone Home", a short that came with the dvd release of the movie. In the short, Tails shows he's still scared of new threats and relies on Sonic for extra help and direction. Along with some other stuff like Sonic having trouble coordinating a team and Knuckles having little patience, I think it's pretty clear they want to continue their character arcs, especially Tails, in the third movie. I think you can still find the full short on KZbin, and despite it not being perfect, I think its still great, and it sets up the next movie very well

Another fantastic analysis video, PJ. I really hope Tails gets a lot more spotlight in Sonic Movie 3. I mean, he's pretty much Sonic and Knuckles little brother at the end of the film and it would be so unfair for him to get over"shadow"ed by other characters.

[@thepjshow]

I think Tails will definitely get screentime in the third film. I believe that film will have him complete his character arc and become the Hero that he is meant to be. It would be an absolute shame if they bench him after setting up his character arc with this film.

[@SBaby]

He's definitely going to get some screentime in the third film. If it's the last movie, then hopefully he completes his arc. Otherwise, if they keep going with the movies after the next one, hopefully it'll at least advance his character.

[@SBaby]

@thedarkknight2424 Most people love Tails no matter what. It's just a very loud minority, most of whom don't even play the games, that are whining about him. As for completing his arc, as I said, it depends. If they make Movie 3 the last one, it can be more localized. But if they keep going after movie 3, then it should be a longer and more fleshed out arc over the course of the movies. But I will say this. If they're planning to do more than three movies, they're going to have to have more characters than just Sonic and Shadow go Super. You only get so much leverage out of having the same two characters do everything in the story. And if Sonic and Shadow are the only two characters that ever go Super, people will get bored of it really quickly and start saying that they're just making the same movie over and over again. There's a reason that I had every character go Super at some point in my story (and it wasn't just because it was a sequel to Sonic X which already had 78 episodes of the same characters using the same powers time and again, although that did contribute to it).

[@SBaby]

@thedarkknight2424 I don't think it's as bad anymore. The movies are doing alot of things right, and the producers AND Jeff Fowler seem to know their stuff when it comes to Sonic (as well as treating him like a person and not just a blue guy that runs fast). Plus, they've got Ian Flynn doing the games now, and a great cartoon series. So I think we're in much better shape than we were in back when Sonic Forces came out.

[@jonnyboy4289]

Tails in my opinion is very likable. However, I will say his character arc could've been better. His character arc is based on him wanting to be brave like Sonic. But, there isn't a moment where Tails' arc felt completed. There isn't a moment where Tails felt like he doesnt feel scared anymore and that he learns to be brave and heroic and overcome his insecurity. The only way to fix this is to show a moment where Tails overcomes his insecurity. Nothing too complicated, just show a moment where Tails overcomes his insecurity. So his character development either comes off as rushed or unclear. But, don't know if it's a story problem or that means that Tails is poorly written and underdeveloped in this movie. What do you think?

[@thepjshow]

For me, it is just an issue with character focus. The focus of this film was clearly on knuckles and, as seen with the film, that was for the better cause his character is fantastic. Because of this, it feels like Tails had less focus in this film, so there wouldn't be enough time to have him go through a complete arc without sacrificing development from other characters, which could be bad. With what we have seen with Tails in this film, his character is being established so that his character arc can be fully completed in the next film, which will hopefully leave enough time to also focus on Shadows character.

Given that this is at least going to be a trilogy, if not a SERIES of movies, it makes sense that not everything would be resolved in a single movie.

i love the second movie so much and i was so overjoyed to see Tails and even more over the moon about Colleen O'Shaughnessey getting to voice him, but you are so so correct about the "show don't tell" aspects about his character. I think the entire russian bar and dance off scene would have benefited from a flashback showcasing Tails' ostracization, cause while Sonic never belonged on Earth before Tom and Maddie, it was because he had to remain hidden and couldn't reveal himself to anybody, which is very different from Tails' isolation, which was purely his village rejecting him outright and relentlessly bullying him for his tails. Like the scene where the bar patrons are calling them freaks, would have loved like a single flashback to a young Tails running from a similar scene, and he can't do that now [in the bar scene] cause he's surrounded, and then he won't cause Sonic is encouraging him not to/to stand up for himself. Also occurred to me that perhaps he would have been sent to live with Longclaw because of his Tails labeling him as 'different', just as Sonic's speed did for him, but she was dead/missing by the time he was born so he was stuck in his village.

I currently love both of the movies, and your videos, and I'm so hyped for what's to come, both on your channel and for Sonic in general! Thanks for all you do! Keep up the good work!

I hear Colleen O’Shaughnessy wants Tails get have his own solo game. Which honestly seems like a good way to separate the character from Sonic for a while.

Sometimes people forget that tails is still a child and gets scared, but people also forget he Was a hero.

The movies were essentialy a saving grace for the characters after the pain that was the sonic games in the 2010s

[@artistanthony1007]

Sonic Riders Zero Gravity was where Tails peaked in the games, same as Knuckles.

I really like the movie versions of these characters, only Dr. Robotnik might be the only one I prefer more in the games.

You should also talk about Dr. Robotnik in this movie, because he changed so drastically.

[@DragonStar524]

What i love about movie Tails is that he's the only character with his original voice actress.

[@valhund2629]

I will also say that, more than another character in these movies, Tails is a child. A genius for sure, but still also a child who grew up in a lonely and harsh environment. It would make sense that he would need to grow up a bit more in a semi-normal environment before properly finishing out his character arc, much like Sonic did and still does, but he definitely feels like he's on the path there by the end of the movie. I have hopes for a finalized character arc in movie three

[@austin5019]

Great video!!! I do agree!!! Tails in Sonic Movie 2 is so cute, adorable, and wholesome!!! The writing for him is very well done!!! I do think he was a bit sidelined in the film and wish he had a little more screentime. I do agree though that he can definitely get more screentime in Sonic 3 and that his full character arc has yet to be completed!!! So glad that Colleen is able to reprise her role as the two-tailed fox in the movies as well!!! She really knows the character inside and out and she is so passionate and loves the role!!!

We’re about 85% of the way there with making tails redeemed from Sega’s mishandlings of him in the games. And I know in the 3rd movie, that last 15% can and most likely will happen!

[@Mappster]

Sonic being Tails's exemplar and best buddy is really well written, also Im satisfied that they made Tails a crafty fighter who comes up tricky ideas to counter an enemy, and thats thousand times more like him than just being scared and hide in a corner, I mean even Cream who is usually pictured innocent and shy, will stand up to the threat if needed, I am really satisfied with both characters in the movies.

[@Fi_Sci_]

Not justifying Tails watching Sonic’s everyday life…. But Sonic was also doing that in the first movie with the Donut Lord, Pretzel Lady, and pretty much everyone in Green Hills. In regards to the character I absolutely adored Tails in this movie. I first became familiar with the voice in Sonic Boom and hearing Colleen in the movie was phenomenal, and even though they do the typical Fanboy lines it works for the point Tails character is at right now. I am certain that in the third movie Tails character will grow more independent and have a similar Arc to SA2. Third movie may introduce Amy and Rouge along with Shadow, so it’ll be interesting to see how the writers tackle all the characters. Given what we’ve gotten so far I’m confident the writers will stay true to what works, and stay clear of what doesn’t.

[@justawalkingtrashcan]

As much as I love that they did Sonic, Tails and Knuckles right in the film(s), something tells me that they might mess Shadow up. (I really hope to be proven wrong, as I’m cautiously optimistic)

[@rickyrackey7930]

Jeff Fowler says that Shadow is much more interesting and more emotionally damaged character than the big 3.

[@justawalkingtrashcan]

@@rickyrackey7930 I know, but you got to know that Jeff, along some people at Blur Studio only know the Shadow in his 2005 game, the game that got his character so wrong. Also, the writers of the movies are using that same game as reference. I am still excited for the third movie though, but just taking that in accountablity!

Hopefully in Sonic movie 3 with tails characterization to continue like himself to believe that he needs to believe in himself without independent sonic for too long. Imagine tails could fight back to shadow or Eggman, just like sonic adventure 2 counterparts but different way to tails character

[@luckypaolastudio8476]

I am late but I am able to finally watch Sonic 2 and I loved Tails so much in this movie. Honestly all characters (Sonic, Knuckles and Tails) are portrayed very nicely in this movie, plus more action and more pacing in storytelling. I liked the second movie more than the first movie. I'm looking forward to Sonic 3 to see Shadow the Hedgehog, but also to see if Tail's arc will be explored more there. Unrelated but I liked the little short animation where I got to see Sonic and Tails enjoy hearing a robot recite a poem, lol.

[@razeboxanimations3215]

Movie Tails was really epic to see and felt very epic when at first he was shy and scared but grow a strong bond with Sonic as well as Knuckles in the end, leading him to become a hero of his own. I disagree with people saying he got completely overshadowed by Knuckles and not having enough screentime. For Movie 3 I would like to see Tails having a more focused rivalry with Eggman and having his solo battle with Eggman as well and at the end of Movie 3, I would like to see Tails have some bonding with Eggman too. Also PJ, I would like to ask what is the next video going to be about and will you be making a video about Knuckles's Bat rival as well at a later time where she goes from being an important character in being Shadow's sidekick as well as being Knuckles's rival and Knuckles's love interest to be a side character who most people perv on until she was written well in the IDW comics which is arguably her best character portrayal

[@thepjshow]

I will be putting up a poll a bit later to have the community vote on the next character to analyse. I have other video ideas to celebrate hitting 40k which I will get started on during the weekend. I will definitely do a video on Rouge at some point. Who knows, with luck, she could be next.

[@mlgamings6110]

You know, I've never understood why people are complaining about Tails watching Sonic. I mean, in the first movie, Sonic literally watched over a town of people for years. Like, if you want to bash Tails for that, ok. But you have to bash Sonic too. Besides, that's kinda the reason why I think their friendship really worked. Because Sonic knows what it's like to not have any friends and to watch from afar and admire someone else. So Sonic has a personal connection that makes him want to support Tails. So that's why I think it worked.

[@MV5K3D]

Tails adventure movie would be something I waited for my whole life speedy was a great villain

[@EdenLovesDragonsForSomeReason]

I am very confident we’ll see more of Tails’ arc in Sonic 3 after that absolutely peak trailer, mostly because of that epic shot where he jumps out of(the Ark?) with that face of grim determination, he’s definitely having a big moment there(he’ll never not be a big cutie tho :3)

[@toyfanjudah7608]

After seeing the Sonic 3 trailer it seems like Tailes is ready to kick ass after seeing him when they were fighting Shadow (even tho Shadow clapped him, Kuckles and Sonic)

[@EdenLovesDragonsForSomeReason]

Yes and that shot where he jumps out of smth(the Ark?) definitely looked like he’s having a big moment

[@avery1205finatic]

Tails literally saved Station Square, and all by himself too, and yet in the 2010 games he’s a complete coward, this movie wrote Tails as he was originally, a scared kid that was bullied, turns into the guy that helped saved the town, I mean, his scared moments make more sense in this movie, like instead of being scared of everyone like Game Tails, he’s scared of things he’s never done before. This movie really shows how much Tails has developed and learned.

[@ApolloAnimationsYT]

This just shows that when the next movie comes out they can bring shadows personality back to whatever it originally was

[@cocochcoco]

The 1st movie already did great on tails, the games did him so dirty im so glad the movie focused his character arc a bit more. Hes my favourite character personally. I hope the 2nd will continue down this road an show a bit more on his backstory. I also hope the 2nd wont only focus on Shadow. Hes a great character but hes so over rated. I hope they they balance it inbetween characters instead of only shadow and sonic getting the spotlight.

[@DarkReaper12]

Awesome video! Would love to see you do a take on Eggman. Wouldn't be surprised that his arc brings us to him gaining weight, and embracing the Egg moniker.

Tails was always my favorite character as a kid, and when I seen the movie, I was pleasantly surprised with his character. They really did an amazing job with him, and not many movies that are based on a video game have done that. We really gotta thank Jeff Fowler for that. He also looks really fluffy and I love that so much

This was a good look into tails character in the movie and I completely agree with you in what you said. Especially with how they’ve portrayed him in recent games making him take a huge back step almost as if he’s useless without sonic and needs sonic to save the day. I hope the next movie follows the trend of the last two and puts focus on tails and shadows characters and most likely will include Amy it feels weird that she hasn’t shown up yet. And yeah tails spying on sonic in the first movie…kinda cringe I understand why but still cringe

Imagine this, a video where you talk about Infinite, how he was brutally wasted and poorly written, and how to improve his character in the game, because if they had done it right, he could be an equal or even better villain than Neo Metal Sonic, Chaos and even Mephiles.

[@levlarl1463]

If I have any problems with the Movie, it's that there aren't any songs from the games (aside from Green Hill), because I would liked to hear some of it during some scenes like the Siberian Dance, Team Sonic vs Robotnik or Tails' arrival, but this is half fixed thanks to the KZbinr Ryan Daly. Also, for the Sonic Adventure 2 cutscene where Robotnik blows Sonic ups, I feel like Tails should have at least been shocked and maybe cried a little at first. Don't get me wrong, I love that scene, I just feel like they excluded Tails' reaction from Sonic supposed death.
