You mean like when Mark Hamill said he was done with Star Wars/The Joker, and then came back for both, both times?

Or when Daniel Craig said he would slit his wrist before playing another Bond movie and then he did do another Bond movie?

You are probably thinking of the first trailer. Where Sonic looked like a monster. People were mad. But then Sonic had his look changed before the movie came out

My Sonic lore is pretty low but does Sonic have any main enemies besides Robotnik? Only other one I know of is Metal Sonic but even he was created by Robotnik so that barely counts.

I think that's canonically why he goes by Eggman. (well maybe not in the movie universe though)

IIRC It's an insult nickname Sonic made up that he just leaned into and assumed as his actual identity or something like that.

The more I write the less sure I am about my knowledge on this one lol.

It's more the difference between translations. Japan calls him Eggman, and the games went with it eventually

Yeah, the name was different in the Genesis games entirely due to localization and marketing.

They eventually incorporated a lore reason as to why he goes by both names though some time after.

Yeah but nobody except diehard Sonic fans really know who they are, so they're gonna have to keep using Robotnik for these movies or mainstream audiences will get real confused.

MAYBE they could do a movie with Shadow as the main villain.

The second one was so bad Im surprised they went ahead with a 3rd one. Knuckles was dumbed down too much and the plot/acting was more obnoxious than the first one. I thought the first movie was pretty solid.

The first was a decent enough kids movie, I couldn't finish the 2nd one. If this happens to have "Escape from the City" I might check it out for the novelty.

That's where it became canon between English and Japanese, about 40 seconds in.

Think they'll do a Sonic Adventure 2 Battle loose adaptation and have the ultimate life form and stuff? I always liked the way Shadow says it it's so funny.

To be fair people over focused on his retirement. He actually said he was retiring on the exception if there's a script he really likes he would consider doing it. Given how much he loved the sonic movies and the eggman character I actually assumed he'd be back for at least the third.

He really gave it his all with 2, it's like he condensed every single performance he's ever done, from ace ventura to the mask to liar liar to even the riddler, into one role for this movie and I wouldn't be surprised if it took a lot out of him. Not even Jim Carrey could contain that much overacting (I mean that in a good way for Jim)

I do like the movies on their own merit but he accounts for as much as 60% of why they're so well liked and praised, and that's me giving a low estimate.

I've seen Keanu Reeves frequently get fancasted for Shadow and I'm all for it.

So we're thinking once this movie becomes the inevitable success it's destined to be because SA2 nostalgia lives strong with millennials, we're almost definitely gonna get a Shadow spin-off, right?
