Watched Sonic 3, here are some assorted rambles about it

There were more adults by themselves at my function than on the TF One one, which was basically just me, the friends I dragged with me and everyone else was kids with their chaperones. It speaks to the popularity of Sonic vs Transformers in Mexico so I'm not surprised. Also unlike Transformers, kids where actually pointing out Sonic lore, whicj was cute.

Thankfully, this movie referenced the Most Important part of Sonic Adventure 2 and the only thing for which I have felt maternal feelings the Chao!!!! They work great as a Japanese mascot franchise. I hope they have Chao tamagochi in this world.

As expected, I didn't need to watch the other two movies to get what's going on. Tho maybe if I had, I would have felt something about that GUN commander dying. But then again while he drew the line at shooting children, he was completely okay keeping one in permanent slumber instead of like, getting him teraphy or something, so I'm not too sympathetic.

Anyway we have him to fill the quota of not portraying the military as unquestionably bad, but I'm quite pleased at how dubious GUN is portrayed otherwise. And that they very much meant to shoot the children. I quite liked that GUN lady and I was hoping she would get a big villain role but I'm kinda confused with her plot line??? She doesn't seem to want the keys for sinister reasons, just to keep them out of reach from other people. Doesn't mention any plans. So why was it bad she had one?? Did I miss something??

I liked Sonic a lot. He felt cool but also very much like a young teen trying to be cool, even when he made pop culture references it felt more natural for who he's supposed to be like just adult writers trying to appeal to kids. Unfortunately there was some quality to his voice that I found annoying, it wasn't the acting, the actor did a good job, but I just didn't like how he sounds.

I knew about the ship tease between of Eggman and Stone (called Roca in Spanish so that's what I'm calling him), but damn, that was gay. Roca is the best character in this movie after Shadow and I hope he find a fulfilling career until totally-not-actually-dead Eggman comes back.

I switched back and forth between finding the Robotniks entertaining and annoying. The children were laughing way less than in TF One which would have made me more tolerant of them.

Everything about Shadow was perfect. I love him. He's so done with everything. Too done, actually. I was surprised that his and Robotnik's plan was explicitly to kill themselves alongside Earth. Then I started wondering why does suicide feel so much darker than killing everyone on Earth. Maybe because kill everyone on Earth is such a cartoon villian plan. I have to admit it's an upgrade to have him just be plain overcome by grief than having him believe Maria would actually want him to kill everyone. I also like how seeing Sonic crying over his dad (I actually felt something and Sonic calling him dad) got to him, because yeah, it makes sense he has never thought how his actions would affect other people since he has had barely any contact with people.

Overall, the movie was too corny for me even for what I'm willing to put up with for a children's movie. I like that it explicitly compares that Sonic got a much better deal than Shadow and that's what makes them different, but also the way it develops felt weird. I get that Sonic using the emerald for revenge is bad but they also needed it to stop them from ending the world. Shadow telling Sonic that he made the same choice as him also feels weird when he's trying to end the entire world.

Regardless I am pleased with what I came for, though I won't watch it again and OH MY GOD THAT'S AMY. SHE'S BEAUTIFUL aaand now I have to watch the next one I guess (especially bc I doubt Shadow is actually dead), though maybe not in teathers. Amy, I love you.
