Every live-action Sonic film introduces one other beloved character from Sega’s speedy platformers to the movie universe in a post-credits scene, and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 isn’t any exception. Although the brand new addition to Sonic’s rising household of anthropomorphic animals doesn’t have any spoken traces within the film’s stinger, followers are already theorizing about how they could shake issues up within the upcoming fourth movie set to premiere in 2027. Paramount’s live-action universe is no stranger to remixing sport ideas for the massive display, so beneath the spoiler tag, I and a number of other different followers have one request for Sonic the Hedgehog 4 to interrupt from the legacy of the video games…
Paramount, please make Sonic an absolute simp for Amy Rose within the live-action films. Traditionally, Sonic’s one-sided love affair with the pink, hammer-wielding hedgehog has consisted of Amy fawning over the blue blur. He’s quick, charming, and a hero to the individuals. It’s straightforward to see why Amy would develop infatuated with a man who saved her life however is emotionally unavailable. Nevertheless, the Sonic collection has began to flip the dynamic in recent times. The Sonic Increase model of our hero is implied to have emotions for Amy, however principally by gags and teasing from his mates. And in Sonic Frontiers, Sonic is roughly confirmed to have lastly come round to the thought of a romantic relationship with Amy, so we’ve positively moved out of the “Amy hopelessly chasing Sonic” period of their dynamic. With Sega having principally shed this lopsided relationship, Paramount has the chance to show the whole factor on its head within the live-action universe.
We nonetheless don’t know something about Amy’s position within the films, however we do know that Ben Schwartz’s tackle Sonic is outlined largely by him being a pop-culture-brained doofus vulnerable to bursts of emotion, usually within the title of defending these he cares about. As proven within the first film, he’s been in isolation for a lot of his life, and he’s not fairly the graceful talker we’ve seen within the video games. Hell, I’m not even certain Sonic has ever spoken to a girl hedgehog primarily based on what we’ve seen of him within the films. He was compelled to depart his dwelling planet and go to Earth at a younger age, and he was the one hedgehog we noticed in these early scenes. You count on me to imagine that man is gonna be something apart from an absolute dumbass tripping over himself making an attempt to kind by all these emotions? Amy, in the meantime, is proven to be assured and succesful within the few seconds we see of her, reasonably than the damsel in misery she began as within the video games. This looks like the right alternative to play with the connection, and followers are already hoping to see the 2’s romantic story flipped on its head.
What’s notable about Amy’s debut within the films is that it’s a direct inverse of her introduction within the video games. When Amy was first introduced into the fold in Sonic CD, Sonic saved her from his robotic doppelganger, Steel Sonic. In Sonic 3’s post-credits scene, she is the one who saves him from a squad of robotic hedgehogs. So it looks like Paramount is already sowing the seeds for a “reverse” Sonic and Amy relationship. Nonetheless, we received’t know for certain till Sonic the Hedgehog 4 premieres in 2027.
