ROCKSTAR
[sonic movie 2] finally saw the sequel! gonna talk about it here so BIG SPOILER WARNINGS
ROCKSTAR
first, I'm absolutely going to have to make a knuckles journal because i fucking love him
ROCKSTAR
he's perfect
ROCKSTAR
second i can't believe it took this many years to get super sonic in a movie but i can't believe how well they nailed it, him stopping the giant mech punch was A+
ROCKSTAR
third
ROCKSTAR
and i cannot stress this enough
ROCKSTAR
my inner child came back to life when they revealed shadow
ROCKSTAR
this movie made me feel things i didn't think i could feel anymore and i love it for that
ROCKSTAR
(also the cafe being the Mean Bean, I FUCKING SEE YOU)

I was literally like 
the moment they mentioned “fifty years ago” at the end
the moment they mentioned “fifty years ago” at the end
hanyako 🐈⬛👻
And screamed MY BOY!!!! when they showed him on the screen
hanyako 🐈⬛👻
I was just telling someone the other day that I thought I was finally clean from Sonic, but THIS MOVIE… THIS MOVIE DRAGGED ME INTO THE PITS AGAIN
ROCKSTAR
I THOUGHT THEY WOULD GO WITH METAL SONIC I'm so excited
ROCKSTAR
I'm still laughing at knuckles basically having Starfire's speech mannerisms from Teen Titans
ROCKSTAR
playing The Base Of Ball
ROCKSTAR
hanyako 🐈⬛👻
I THOUGHT SO TOO??? It would have made sense for the game chronology, but I am absolutely no complaining about getting Ow The Edge sooner
hanyako 🐈⬛👻
And YES, I love that Knuckles is basically furry buff Starfire
hanyako 🐈⬛👻
The “OH… THOSE ARE STAIRS” line killed me
ROCKSTAR
i wonder if we'll get another new appearance in sonic 3
ROCKSTAR
amy? rouge??
hanyako 🐈⬛👻
My money is on Amy since she’s the last member of the core group that they have to introduce
hanyako 🐈⬛👻
Meanwhile, I think Rouge will probably show up in Knuckles’ TV series
Jack Raid
Rouge is pretty important to have alongside Shadow tho
hanyako 🐈⬛👻
Yeah, I can’t imagine she wouldn’t pop up in the next film either because of that, but I can see it being like an MCU situation where she gets her intro in a separate series to get the basics out of the way
ROCKSTAR
she could debut in the knuckles series and cross over into the movie-- yeah
ROCKSTAR
and WHERE'S BIG
hanyako 🐈⬛👻
(Which imo isn’t GREAT since I’m not fond of that system of having to watch 5000+ other things to understand one film, but)
ROCKSTAR
yeah i do feel that, but tbh there was a 0% chance i wasn't going to watch the knuckles series so
ROCKSTAR
this plurk is now being temporarily repurposed into a brainstorming plurk for usernames for my knuckles journal
ROCKSTAR
haverhefun and havingthefun are both open, solid options
ROCKSTAR
handshakes was taken and never used, damn
ROCKSTAR
millionpercent?
Jack Raid
powerbump
ROCKSTAR
powerbump is also really good...

source i didn't actually realize but they have really set it up so the man cast can really relate to shadow's loss

Oh, I am 100% going to watch that Knuckles series too, even if I have to sub to a new streaming service to do so
hanyako 🐈⬛👻
Also I’ve seen this theory floating around that we got so much focus on Rachel/Randall/the wedding in this movie because they’re setting them up to be Shadow’s “parents”
hanyako 🐈⬛👻
Which would make Shadow being connected with G.U.N in the end a lot simpler
hanyako 🐈⬛👻
Though I want it just for Rachel to drag him by the ear and treat him like the emo teenager he is
ROCKSTAR
and Rachel would be in a place to teach forgiveness/ learning to trust again.... hmmmmmmMMMMMM
hanyako 🐈⬛👻
“YOU THINK YOU GOT IT BAD?? I FOUND OUT MY ENTIRE WEDDING WAS ONE BIG STING OPERATION, AT THE ALTAR”
hanyako 🐈⬛👻
Plus there is also Jojo there who can be the Maria stand-in to soften Shadow up
hanyako 🐈⬛👻
(But BOY I really wonder how they’re going to adapt that whole bit in the movie)
ROCKSTAR
i mean they straight up murdered knuckles' and sonic's families via plot, they can go pretty hard on shadow too i figure
Jack Raid
it's not like the game explictly showed what happened to Maria and Gerald
Jack Raid
it was still a game for kids
ROCKSTAR
i think in sonic x they heavily imply gerald was executed via firing squad but that's not the canon we're pulling from here lmao
Jack Raid
oh no that's implied in the game too
ROCKSTAR
well then am offscreen shooting should be enough
Jack Raid
or just doing what the game did and showing his last speech and then cutting away
ROCKSTAR
decided to go with millionpercent just need to pick good icon keywords now
ROCKSTAR
could just go with unknown from m.e. but that feels too easy
hanyako 🐈⬛👻
omg millionpercent is perfect
hanyako 🐈⬛👻
Sheepi commissioned this from me and it's probably the best commission I've ever recieved

LMAO VALID
ROCKSTAR
Mick Gordon (feat. Omega Sparx) - I'm Back (to Rise)
oh nvm i found exactly the part to take keywords from
ROCKSTAR
that'll do
ROCKSTAR
HE'S READY
Jack Raid
where did you get such clear icons
ROCKSTAR
ngl i just looked for screencaps and tweaked them until they were feasible
ROCKSTAR
some of them were actually... fairly blurry at full resolution but came together just fine when shrunk down to 100x100
