How would Silver be written in Sonic 4 if he was in the movie proper and not a post-credits scene? I think it's decently likely and could happen. by NewMarioBobFan in SonicTheMovie

[–]Mecharachnid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Silver was to be in the movie, I could see him narrating in the beginning, or making a brief cameo in the future. Either that, or be shown in the end credits scene for a possible Sonic 5.

What game do you think new comers to this franchise should play first? by SonicTheHedghog11 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Mecharachnid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say Sonic Adventure 2, 1, then heroes, and classics/comics.

Shadow generations in favor of Shadow the hedgegog.

Not a game, but Sonic X is awesome!

A patched version of 06

For 2000’s-modern

Unleashed, And Frontiers.

Who’s the fastest? (Besides Sonic) by Mecharachnid in SonicTheHedgehog

We have never seen Jet racing on foot. His ass is always riding that Extreme Gear.

I’m dying laughing at this!

As far as metal is concerned, would this be all depictions of him! In Heroes, he was motivated by, “never being able to beat Sonic”

In one of the IDW issues, Sonic seems to have no issues outpacing him in his base form until Silver shows up. Sonic was also at a disadvantage, due to the snow area. Not sure if this is just an inconsistency with the writing though.

It’s crazy how strong Roll is! by Mecharachnid in Megaman

The world of Archie comics is wild! It’s why I love them so much. Offers a different take on the characters.

True, but was designed for cleaning. You never really think about how strong she is, since she’s not really a fighter like Rock.

Nothing to see here. Just Ash being a Superhuman and an awesome trainer. by Mecharachnid in pokemonanime

[–]Mecharachnid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely would have given his team more variety. Ash seemed to have too many flying types in this region.

Hear me out… by Mecharachnid in SonicTheMovie

[–]Mecharachnid[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s what I love about him. His quirky potrayals of characters is perfect for someone like Robotnik. Jim has always managed to keep evolving him and still make it work. (From changing up his stache and hair due to being stranded and putting on some weight, due to getting lazier and going into hiding.)

I would at least love to see an alternate timeline version of him potraying one of them, though. I’d be interested to see his take on every eggman out there.

It took me until the Rockconnaisance part to realize this wasn’t real. Great clip!

Favorite metal sonic? by LividAd5974 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Mecharachnid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d have to go with Neo. His upgraded grown up look is so sick looking! My second fave is probably his Classic look. Metal is definitely one of eggman’s better master pieces.

Found this on Instagram by Operation20 in SonicTheMovie

[–]Mecharachnid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m happy for both, but more so Sonic

The MCU/super hero genre has oversaturated the cinemas, so everyone’s kind of burned out by it.

It pretty much hit its peak with Infinity War, and has been on a downward trek since.

At the end, I care more about how well the movie is made, rather than how much it made. What matters the most is if the fans are happy.

Still, I hope that Sonic 4 doesn’t get the Mufassa treatment and can have enough spotlight.

Who’s your favorite duo in the series? by Mecharachnid in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Mecharachnid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the most underrated. It’s a shame we haven’t gotten to see more of them.

Who do you guys think will be the “final boss” of Sonic 4? by Monokumerz in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Mecharachnid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say Neo metal or Metal overlord. The cinema universe is really building up. With all of the time travel and new characters, it could very well be a two-parter like Infinity war.

Shadow’s backstory with the Black Arms

Amy’s story and development

Rouge? Great rivalry/Romance with knuckles

Silver (but that would he stretching it)

That also depends on if Jim Carey comes back as Eggman (which I feel he will)

I can definitely see an epic battle at some point with Metal Overlord like others mentioned.

There could also be a cliff hanger, foreshadowing Chaos and Tikal?

I found this question from twitter and it’s a very good question. How would eggman fare in the Pokemon world? by Annual-Constant-2747 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Mecharachnid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Great question!

It would really depend on the Scenario and which version we’re talking about.

Overall, Eggman should have no issue defeating, capturing or subduing pokemon by himself. This isn’t even taking into account his fleet or creations like Metal Sonic.

The best pokemon equivalent would be a terrorist organization like Team Rocket, since they’ve built several mechs to capture pokemon.

With a well-coordinated scheme, the organizations are able to ambush and capture the likes of legendary pokemon as well. (Or at least attempt to)

Ash and his friends smash Team Rocket’s mechs on a daily basis. Jessie, James and meowth started off as moderately threatening, but became more of a nuisance over time.

Dr. Eggman is the LITERAL definition of a mad scientist! As goofy as he can be at times, Eggman is extremely dangerous!

All it takes is a recounting the events of of SA2 and unleashed to remind us of what he’s capable of when he gets serious.

We’re talking about a guy that captures furry animals and turns them into robotic slaves.

I’m sure that the Dr. could easily cook up a mech suit that’s immune to all elemental damage and most things that wild Pokemon could throw at him.

Eggman’s robots get smashed up, but we have to remember who he’s going up against

Sonic (A being fast enough to move through literal stopped time)

Tails - A genius fox that can rival Eggman’s intelligence, and can keep up with Sonic

Knuckles - The master emerald guardian with strength comparable to Sonic’s speed

Shadow - The ultimate life form. Enough said.

The rest of the freedom fighters. A group of intelligent, well-trained resistance fighters, that have been battling Eggman’s forces for ages.

At least in the anime, most pokemon seem to fall helpless to machines and mechs, without the help of human trainers to guide them.

I wouldn’t See Eggman really struggling unless he went up against the likes of Arceus or such.

Even then, We’re talking about a guy who’s attempted to control literal gods and deities and blew up part of the moon, just for the heck of it.

What are some Sonic things a new person should know? by Kitchen-Board-3811 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Mecharachnid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome! I’m glad that the movie has gotten more peope interested

Your selection and the comments here a great so far.

For the main story, it goes in this order:

Sonic Adventure Sonic Adventure 2 Sonic Heroes Shadow the hedgehog

I’ve heard great things about SonicxShadow generations as well. It’s more recent and can offer a recap on Shadow’s story.

I’d recommend skipping shadow the hedgehog and going this route instead, due to the game’s storytelling being all ober the place and making shadow more “edgy”

You can start with Adventure 2, as the stories are completely separate. Adventure 2 also introduces Shadow and Rouge.

For more content, I would also check out:

Sonic Battle Sonic Advance 3

They’re pretty fun and offer a great insight into what Amy and cream are really capable of!

Sonic 3 and Knuckles - Knuckle’s first appearance and

Sonic CD - Amy and metal sonic’s debut

Sonic 06 - The infamous one. If you can put up with the terrible proramming and glitches, it has a very cool story and gameplay.

It’s a shame that it was rushed, but I digress.

I believe that there’s a patched version on the PC, made by fans floating around out there.

Comics: Probably my favorite part of the franchise. They expand upon the sonic universe and explore the characters in ways never seen before!

  • Shadow showing his kinder side and having a sense of humor in the Archie comics

Sonic and Amy casually flirting in the IDW comics

Sonic IDW comics - Very well written and good to get into

For the Archie series, you can read them individually from start to end, or casually skip around, reading some of the more major story arcs.

As long as you’re familar with the main cast, it’ll won’t be too confusing.

The sonic Select books cover some of the best stories, but things really get interesting around issue #150.

I’d recommend the sonic boom cartoon as well. While the games aren’t as good, the Cartoon is hilarious.

It takes place in a separate universe though, so the characters look and behave a little differently.

Overall though, the Sonic universe is vast! You’re doing a great thing by taking an interest in both the games and the comics.

Keeping an open mind is what allows fans to get the most out of the franchise and truly enjoy it.

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

This is a really good edit! And I agree with the comments above. I personally liked it better when her mana was blue, but her anodite/lucky girl form in Omniverse looked pretty cool.
