it's a fact Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is set to close out 2024 with a bang We've Got Dirt to do but after two action-packed movies do you know which questions this new adventure needs to answer ever since the release of the first trailer one question has been haunting the dreams of franchise fans how is Dr Gerald Robotnik alive this is a huge question and it's crucial to understanding where we stand with this new adaptation for those unfamiliar Gerald Robotnik is the grandfather of the infamous Dr robot ni or Eggman for the Insiders in Sonic 3
he'll also be portrayed by Jim Carrey and fans are thrilled to see this iconic character hit the big screen but isn't this a major Cannon breach in the games particularly in his first appearance in Sonic Adventure 2 Gerald has been dead for years this led to Fan theories that his appearance in the movie might be a hallucination created by Eggman or that the film would be set in both the present and the past however the new trailer shows both villains grandfather and Grandson together this new Sonic movie has to explain exactly how Gerald is still
alive in Sonic's timeline we have a few theories to discuss shortly so grab your popcorn because it's time for another C wave one thing the new trailer did that left fans a little disappointed was the lack of confirmation about Amy Rose's appearance in the movie many were theorizing she was captured along with Sonic Knuckles and Tails in this scene but fans are still wondering will our beloved Amy show up in Sonic's new adventure one possibility is that she won't appear until the very end of the movie why well it's pretty simple to explain Shadows story
line is incredibly complex and lengthy so there might not be room for other characters we'd love to see like Amy cream and Rouge of course there's still hope it seems like this second trailer might be pulling a Marvel style trick similar to what they did with Spider-Man no way home hiding the returning webs Slingers until the big reveal Paramount might be doing the same thing with Sonic if Amy only appears in a post-credit scene that could mean we're getting a fourth movie which is pretty awesome too remember the ending of the second movie when Eggman
Was Defeated there's no way any one could survive a fall like that right sure Sonic has a super Fantastical narrative but Evo Robotnik is one villain who seems completely immune to harm in the games and animated series Dr Eggman suffers explosive defeats that should have turned him into toast yet he keeps coming back this question is just as important as how Gerald is still alive our theory for Grandpa Robotnik he may have finally perfected the ultimate life form in Shadow and perhaps he has been in cryosleep all these years but what about Eggman why does
he seem indestructible could he actually be a robot with the real Robotnik hiding somewhere safe or could the mushroom juice he drank in the last film have given him some kind of invulnerability there are so many questions but as long as Jim Carrey is in the movie We're not complaining one question that could unlock the entire mystery of Sonic 3 is whether Shadow will be the key to activating the eclipse Cannon as we all know this Ultimate Weapon can destroy entire planets and is part of robotnik's Arsenal with it he can threaten Every Nation on
Earth giving the villains leverage to try and take over the world in Sonic Cannon the Canon only achieves this devastating power when activated by the chaos emeralds which are already well known in the franchise however the trailer shows a scene where Shadow appears to power the cannon himself and the color of the destruction beam matches Shadow's signature energy this strongly suggests that Shadow's power will fuel robotnik's deadliest weapon this drastically changes the original story but that's not necessarily A Bad Thing fans will get a surprising twist but the real question is is this a good
change and if you have a giant Laser cannon and you're planning to blow up the Moon drop a comment with # villain so we can track you down and stop your evil plan another confirmed plot point that raises questions is why will agent Stone abandoned Dr Evo Robotnik the film's production has already revealed that eggman's loyal sidekick will give up working for his beloved boss but how is that even possible since the first movie agent Stone has been Inseparable from the villain willing to do anything no matter how terrible to help Eggman achieve his dreams
but based on the trailer and inside information from our sources agent stone is going to hit his Breaking Point could this be a clue that he's switching sides and joining the good guys we'll find out when the movie hits theaters on December 25th 2024 in the first trailer it's confirmed that Robotnik will team up with Sonic and his crew to stop shadow of course a betrayal from Eggman is inevitable as he sides with his grandfather Gerald so far so predictable but during a key conversation Sonic hands over one of his energy charged quills as a
condition for eggman's help our Theory Eggman will use this quill to create Metal Sonic but the second trailer makes it clear that Gerald's goal is to destroy the world while Eggman only wants to rule it this suggests the two villains may have different objectives Eggman might first fight alongside Sonic only to betray him later before realizing that Gerald's plans are far too evil even for him could we see a Redemption Arc for Eggman let's hope not it just wouldn't fit his character one of the most significant groups tied to Shadow's backstory is the alien race
known as the black arms led by the powerful villain black Doom Gerald used the DNA of this extraterrestrial to create what he called the ultimate life form which became Shadow this means the black arms need to appear in the movie for Shadow's origin story to remain intact if they're left out it would drastically alter Shadow's backstory this would be a real shame because the black arms present a perfect opportunity to give fans what they've been asking for Less focus on human characters and it's not just us saying this in almost every discussion about Sonic fans
consistently ask for the movies to focus solely on Sonic and his crew with Robotnik as the only human exception bringing the black arms into this film could finally mean saying goodbye to Tom and the human cast a farewell fans would happily welcome this raises an important question will Paramount the studio Behind these films really remove the human characters from the Sonic series this has been a Hot Topic ever since the end of the second movie when it became clear that keeping the human element in the story was hurting the adaptation many fans criticisms have consistently
focused on this point aside from Dr Robotnik characters like Tom and Maddie failed to capture the audience's interest maybe it is time for Sonic to leave Earth and embark on adventures in other worlds however doing so would mean Paramount needs to commit to a film that's nearly 100% CGI and perhaps that's why it's unlikely that one of the fan base's biggest requests will be fulfilled but do you know which request must be respected ours don't forget to subscribe to the channel and hit the notification Bell speaking of special effects there's one creature that would be
expensive to bring to life but it needs to be in this movie The biolizard this monstrous being was Gerald's first attempt at cre creting the ultimate life form however it was uncontrollable so he locked it away before he succeeded with Shadow Grandpa Robotnik created this Beast which ultimately became the final boss in Sonic Adventure 2 and was later reimagined in Sonic X Shadows Generations the Biol lizard's immense power could be the very reason why Shadow and Sonic join forces there's even a theory about where it's hidden most likely on the moon if you pay attention
to the second trailer you'll notice the eclipse Cannon blasts a section of the Moon possibly revealing the biolizard prison or perhaps when Shadow betrays Gerald the doctor will be forced to unleash his backup plan that's simply not possible as most fans know Shadow has a deep connection to Sonic's past he was once used by gun many years ago to fight villains that only appear in Sonic 2006 including silver and methis thanks to the chaos emeralds Shadow even possesses the ability to manipulate time and space this could mean the anti-hero's plan involves using the emeralds to
travel back in time to save Maria could this event lead to the introduction of meph and silver in a potential fourth movie casting Jim Carrey as two characters this time around is a massive win for the Sonic franchise but what many people don't know is that the actor has announced his retirement in the coming years this means we likely won't see Evo Robotnik in a fourth film Sonic 3 might be the last time we see Eggman on the big screen and the movie needs to wrap up his storyline once and for all moving forward the
franchise will probably focus on other villains like mephis unless Sonic 3 ends up being the final installment will the world's fastest hedgehog bit a farewell in this film you've probably noticed that there's a lot that needs to be answered right and you might be wondering how the movie will have enough time to address all these questions spoiler it won't Sonic 3 simply won't have enough time to cover everything we've discussed in today's video based on our calculations it would take a movie of at least 3 hours to resolve all the Loose Ends but it's unlikely
The Producers will go that route so the real question is which of these questions will be left unanswered in the adaptation and if the movie rushes through too many plot points it risks leaving fans dissatisfied especially those who have followed the franchise for years through the games comics and other media in the Sonic Universe balancing all of this is a huge challenge but we hope the movie prioritizes the most important story lines now and leaves room to address the rest in a future installment after all keeping the audience intrigued is the key to ensuring the
success of the Sonic Cinematic Universe but you know where you do have time right here to watch more videos before Sonic 3 premieres we've selected two more videos for you to enjoy see you in the next one
