The stinger is among the most fascinating scenes in the entire trailer. We see Carrey additionally enjoying 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 loss of life to destroy the world in an act of vengeance for Maria’s loss of life. The entire huge emotional flip of that recreation is that Shadow remembers Maria’s remaining want to convey hope to humanity and saves the world fairly than destroying it. So if Gerald continues to be alive, I’m curious to see how Sonic 3 handles this storyline. It’s additionally not out of the query that Robotnik might be speaking to his grandfather via some magical mumbo jumbo, because the Knuckles present established that the useless can converse to the residing. 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 appear like Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will likely be omitting Rouge the Bat and Amy Rose, two key gamers within the Sonic Journey 2 story, until they pull a Spider-Man: No Method Residence and maintain them out of the advertising and marketing. However I additionally wouldn’t be stunned in the event that they needed to streamline Shadow’s debut for the movie given the shorter runtime, and that may imply that Rouge and the layers she brings to the story could must be left on the chopping room flooring.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 premieres on December 20.
