After watching Sonic 3 again, I just want to say it’s so fascinating the differences between Game Shadow and Movie Shadow.

Like— Game Shadow was created and is always debated as a ‘Copy’ of the true Ultimate Lifeform (Sonic).

But in the movie?? He’s not created, he was found. And he’s immediately labeled as the Ultimate Lifeform by GUN. And it makes it clear throughout the movie that Shadow is considerably stronger and more powerful than Sonic while in the games, they’ve always been pretty equal.

In the movie, Shadow not only is stronger and bests Sonic with ease every time, but he’s also very naturally skilled with chaos. He knew exactly what to do with those chaos emeralds despite presumably never seeing them before. The way he just stopped Sonic’s punch like it was nothing??? He’s a pro.

The idea that this is because he comes from the Black Arms race and they’re naturally controllers of chaos energy makes this all even more intriguing.

Like— GUN didn’t use Shadow as a weapon when they were testing him. They were using him as a battery (potentially for weapons). So Shadow had no physical combat training that we know of, and yet he handed Sonic’s tail to him with ease. Like he was created to conquer and it was simply in his blood all along. Instinct.

Which would make his constant anxiety about being a monster so much deeper because he always felt that lingering violence and destruction in him..

As of now, he’s far stronger than Sonic. The only reason he “lost” that fight and ended up on the moon was because he was quite literally trying to push Sonic into killing him just to prove a point. That they’re the same. He wanted to die and to die making Sonic understand why he did everything he did. Thus him saying “We’ll see,” in response to Sonic yelling that they’re not the same at the beginning of the battle.

He wanted Sonic to kill him.

Thankfully, Sonic passed the test of heart and didn’t.

That being said, Sonic obviously holds some sort of power in him that was big enough of a deal to have the echidnas hunting him, so…

He may grow more powerful as he matures. We’ll see.

Either way, I smell a big Black Arms plot coming man..

And I’m so pumped for it.

Sonic Shadow Revolution 2024

Hi Everyone! Here's everything that's happened during the Sonic Shadow Revolution event today:

Tyson and Jeff believe that the third movie will be the most beloved of the franchise. They feel that the movie has the strongest storytelling compared to the other two films and the Knuckles spin-off

The script and the storyboard (along with some animatics) for Sonic 3 were made at the same time in order to fiddle with the story/jokes along the way.

Between all of the voice actors used for the film, they felt that Sonic's VA was the most important to cast. Sonic needed to be energetic, kid-like, and emotional at the same time. Jeff also stressed that the voice actor needed to match with the pace of the animators to make him life-like for the audience. Ben Schwartz was the idea choice for Sonic when the movie was still licensed under SONY (Ben was the placeholder voice for Sonic when the film was pitched to SONY and Paramount). By the time that the movie was under Paramount's license, Jeff called Ben to voice "Sonic" for the film.

Tyson was called into Paramount the day after the first trailer for Sonic (2020) was released online. The redesign happened after the entire movie was shot, so it wasn't hard to redo Sonic's model. The eyes and eyelids were tinkered with first, then remodeling the body. The separate eyes were the ideal choice to match with the real-world setting and real-world anatomy compared to the mono-eye seen in the games.

Both Tyson and Jeff are thankful that these movies are successful because it also helps produce an interest in the games. With newer games, it produced new lore opportunities. With new lore opportunities, it gives the movies a chance to tell the game version on the screen.

Jeff Fowler adores the ability to combine his love of video games and movies into one. "Sonic" was a franchise that he grew up playing as a kid and inspired his chance to go to art and film school.

Tyson's favorite bit of media that he's done for SEGA was making the Christmas episode of Sonic Mania that featured Amy Rose and Metal Sonic. He feels that there should be a bit more of a highlight of who she is as a character, as well as an exploration of who she is exactly. The short is how he portrays her.

The biggest challenge for making good progress in animating the Sonic movies was thoroughly studying and analysis on Sonic-based anatomy from the game models. Even though the movie designs are different from the games, the goal was to make sure that the anatomy was appealing to the eye, paid homage to the game counterpart, and learn property symmetry to the models. He thinks that the designs used for Sonic 3 are the ideal models to use for further instalments.

Jeff Fowler is thrilled to have Keanu Reeves voice Shadow in the movie-verse. He said that Keanu formed an emotional attachment to Shadow and conducted extensive research on the character. Keanu recorded multiple takes of Shadow and hopes that fans love the interpretation.

Both Tyson Hesse and Jeff Fowler state that they cannot answer questions about Sonic 3 until after the film is released.
