(Spoiler Anon) I’m Just Happy Again That Sonic Finally Has a Family, and He’s Not Alone

I just love the direction the movie took of really showing what makes these characters family.

Really early on in the movie we have that lecture with Tom and Sonic, where Tom is being such a dad and just looking out for him, and then we have the small moment of Sonic setting up a fake security system like they’re at an airport, that has such son energy. They text throughout the movie updates about this day (even if sonic is lying lol) but you get the sense just how much they love each other.

And towards the end when Maddie literally says “Let’s go get our kid.” IT MELTS MY HEART. And they all held hands and said I love you. Sonic actually calling Tom ‘Dad’ I just-THIS MOVIE DUDE.

And then talking about Sonic and Tails, their brotherhood is one of my favorite aspects of the series. being able to see them bond, to hear Tails tell Sonic just how much he admires him and how it’s because of Sonic he’s able to embrace his two tails, to have them HUG, to have Sonic literally tuck Tails into bed (HE EVEN PETS HIS TWO TAILS BEFORE COVERING THE BLANKET WITH IT) and then Tails’ tails popped out to cover Sonic. That whole scene means everything to me.

I’ve always loved how Sonic and Tails’ dynamic started by Tails seeing Sonic being himself and admiring how cool and confident he is to the point Tails wants to be able to keep up with him and through that Sonic just casually takes Tails under his wing. So being able to see the start of this dynamic, I loved it so much.

And it’s because Tails got hurt that Sonic fled on his own to deal with Eggman and Knuckles. That little speech he gives Tom and Maddie about how Tails looked up to him and all he did was get him hurt so now he has to fix this and make sure no one else gets hurt? AMAZING.

The whole baseball scene of all of them playing together as a family and trying to teach Knuckles to understand Earth customs was not something I expected but I absolutely loved it and I would love to just see more Wachowski family fun.

A lot of this stuff are things within the series, the idea of friends becoming, found family and friends/family being power, but because of several different reasons (mandates, SEGA being SEGA, bad writers) we haven’t been able to really see this heart of the series in years. The characters haven’t really been themselves since like 2009, so to see the movie take this characters and do such drastic things (its not rlly drastic but i say that cuz lol I don’t think SEGA would ever let Sonic be this emotionally open in the games or even call someone his parents or even say I love you out loud) it’s such fun and refreshing take and a huge reminder of what made me love these characters.
