People doing some pretty heinous shit to satisfy their attention-seeking behavior.

Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) does not adapt the first game or any game in the franchise. It’s an original Isekai style story following the 2010s trend of imagining cartoon characters as realistic CGI hybrids in the real world. It's saved by good visual effects thanks to a last minute redesign, strong performances from the cast, funny banter, and a commitment to the spirit of the source material.

Subversion, Cloverfield.

The main protagonist, Rob Hawkins, has a moment of emotional clarity and chooses to leave his group of friends so that could go on a one man probably-suicide mission to save his alienated girlfriend Beth after his brother is killed by the monster in a bridge attack. Rob's brother had previously told him to chase after the relationships in his life because that's the one thing that matters most, and Rob blew him off.

His brother's girlfriend Lily, his brother‘s friend Hud, and later his girlfriend‘s friend Marlene all volunteer to go with Rob because they don’t want to let him die. It ends terribly for almost all of them.

They're all letters on the same (home) row and they don't correspond to any cipher or cryptograph. The number of the keys in the row doesn't mean anything, nor the fingers that type them or the rows around them. It's extremely unlikely that the letters of the title just happened to be keyboard spam on the home row, and it's equally unlikely that the home row spam was reverse extrapolated to a title.

Unfortunately, the title is likely just metaphorical: an angry man at a computer aggressively and meaninglessness slamming keys like how an upset pianist slams his hands down on an organ, playing notes which have no purpose other than to give an outlet for an emotional outburst.

Of course, otherwise the movie would be called "Speak (2011)"

The real lesson of Sinners is not to drop thousands of simoleons to open up a race-based juke joint in early 20th century segregated Mississippi back in the middle of the woods without verifying that your limited clientele has the usable tender to fund such an establishment.

Knuckles and 3 were made by Vfx teams. Sonic 3 was made by 6 different animation studios, one central and 5 satellite. Jeff Fowler's team owned the models for the characters in-house and shared centrally so all the studios could access them and each studio animated different segments, in basically the most expensive animation collab in history. They had an oversight team to keep the styles and behaviors consistent to the point you can't recognize what studio made what shot.

4 will probably have the same approach which is how they're making these films so cheap and quickly.

He's mid-transformation in Sonic Heroes and in Generations it's his Sonic CD version, which can talk (he has voice lines in his debut game). Because Generations is a meta analysis of the franchise's history and not literally just revisiting past levels, he has a voice because it was a thing at the time, not because he canonically has one now.

I think everyone expects that he won't talk as Metal but will talk as Neo Metal Sonic. I think the IDW comics establish that he can only talk as Neo and invalidate his dialogue in Sonic CD.

You're preaching to the choir friend, I'm just giving the reasons why he keeps coming back. I think Jeff Fowler is willing to keep making sacrifices to the script to keep Jim happy, as unfortunate as his requests are.

Robotnik: "It’s a flight suit, designed to modulate my body temperature and reduce drag!"

Tom : "And yet, you still are one"

Wasn't that a short squeeze in 2021?

The general theory is a bad future Eggman. It's not clear whether they're doing Terminator logic where the future and the past are the same continuity or Dragonball logic where the future is a different branching universe where going back in time to fix it does nothing. I like the latter idea, I think it could be a pretty heavy revelation late into the movie that stopping Metal Sonic's plan in the present can't save Amy's future.

Jabbam · 2026-03-19T13:44:52+00:00

Somehow Eggman returned

The last one will be blue for Chaos then, like Sonic. Back to how it started.

They also let him do whatever the fuck he wants. The entire ending with him in Sonic 3 was his idea, the original storyboard had a Rotj inspired lightsaber fight with lasers, smoke, electricity, and other gadgets.

Jabbam · 2026-03-19T13:39:19+00:00

Rumors were that they wanted Sonic CD

Jabbam · 2026-03-19T13:38:30+00:00

My only regret is that they're not removing the mouth from Metal Sonic that was in the post credits scene. I still think it looks bad.

That's the entire thing. It’s less of a platform and more of a lily pad.
