Though if Amy’s in the movie as I’m currently assuming I’m curious how they’re going to handle her introduction in addition to the SA2 focused storyline (as for Rouge, I could see them doing something like her being on earth for longer than Sonic has but just being better at keeping a low profile)

Hitlersaurus Christ posted:He was always light gold in the release version of SA2, it's just more noticeable in the later games because he has a yellow aura and no chrome effect. He was silver in the SA2 beta though. Because it’s an SA2 adaption and she plays a decent part in that (though I suppose you could have somebody else fill the important parts of her role if you wanted)? Huh, could have sworn he was more silverish in SA2 proper, nevermind then

I mean, it's an SA2 adaptation the same way Sonic 2 was a Sonic 3K adaptation. You had Robotnik tricking Knuckles and the Master Emerald, but it's not like there was any of the rest of Sonic 3K and even then the original game had a very minimal story. It was still the universe and tone of the first movie. Sonic 3 will be a bit darker, but I really doubt it will have most of the plot beats outside of Shadow's backstory.

Good point, I wouldn't be surprised if we see Rouge at least though

I don't really know why people are adamant that Maria has to be shot down (outside of it being a funny meme). There's a bunch of ways you can imply a character is killed off without explicitly showing it. I also don't even think you need Maria to die for Shadow's story to work- if she sends him in the escape pod, and he just thinks she's dead, that would definitely still be enough motivation for him. Could be kinda cute to have Maria, 50 years on, take Amy's place in redeeming Shadow at the end

They'll try, but Shadow will deflect all the bullets and tragically, she'll be stuck in a broken airlock or something and he won't be able to save her or another less visceral way of implying she died. It's probably not gonna anything close to a Mortal Kombat gun Fatal Blow or even Bambi's mom dying.

Sonic Symphony is a hell of a good time. Something kind of wild about a theater full of people just going absolutely apeshit over these dumbass hedgehogs. I doubt I need to convince anyone here but definitely check it out if it comes to your city.

I feel like Amy had trouble recovering her reputation from the character assassination in the Heroes/Battle/X era for a long time. At least we got "Amy manifests a Sonic tulpa to fight Rouge alongside her" out of it, though.

Amy has literally one proper scene with Shadow and a minor one mistaking him for Sonic then running away, they are definitely just replacing her with the human cast for that. Otherwise she just hangs around in the background for the entire game, and unless they give her a major rewrite that's all she'd end up doing in the movie as well. I guess they could surprise me there but I imagine there'll be enough going on without them adding another character, and if they're adding anyone besides Shadow then it has to be Rouge.

Not to mention you’d have to tack on another subplot to introduce her and her relationship with Sonic in the first place. So yeah, I wouldn’t hold my breath on Amy showing up all things considered (Rouge seems fairly probable however)

Didn't they say they cast Krysten Ritter in it? My money is on her being Rouge or, more likely, an adult human woman who has basically the same role. Sonic's cop dad is definitely gonna be the one to talk down Shadow, though. They're paying for Marsden and they're gonna use Marsden.

I mean one thought going around was him being related to Maria's murderer so that being his final arc (coming to terms with that, circling the square of being a cop and all that) would, Amy aside, be as good an arc for him as any.
