18 Takeaways From The First Trailer

The stinger is without doubt one of the most fascinating scenes in the entire trailer. We see Carrey additionally taking part in Gerald Robotnik. Within the video games, Gerald is lengthy gone by the point Shadow reawakens and makes an attempt to destroy the world. Right here, we see each grandfather and grandson meet and hug it out. Gerald was the key villain of Sonic Journey 2, who put issues into movement earlier than his demise to destroy the world in an act of vengeance for Maria’s demise. The entire large emotional flip of that recreation is that Shadow remembers Maria’s ultimate want to carry hope to humanity and saves the world fairly than destroying it. So if Gerald remains to be alive, I’m curious to see how Sonic 3 handles this storyline. It’s additionally not out of the query that Robotnik may very well be speaking to his grandfather by some magical mumbo jumbo, because the Knuckles present established that the lifeless can communicate to the dwelling. I’m not used to Gerald Robotnik being portrayed as something aside from a grieving mad scientist, so we’ll see the place that is going.

Sadly, it does seem like Sonic the Hedgehog 3 can be omitting Rouge the Bat and Amy Rose, two key gamers within the Sonic Journey 2 story, except they pull a Spider-Man: No Manner Dwelling and preserve them out of the advertising and marketing. However I additionally wouldn’t be shocked in the event that they wished to streamline Shadow’s debut for the movie given the shorter runtime, and which may imply that Rouge and the layers she brings to the story might need to be left on the chopping room ground.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 premieres on December 20.
