welcome back to New rockstars I'm Jessica Clemens and I'm back from Germany from Gamescom which was so much fun and I'm in such a gay mood that I'm breaking down Sonic the Hedgehog 3's official trailer that dropped today and it's so much fun I love this trailer K Reeves is in the Sonic family now and it is so good this will be the breakdown for the movie which drops on December 20th 2024 it's the holiday season baby okay let's get into this breakdown but first be sure to check out nerd ride. shop where you can

see it now that I think about it but this is a really great Shir in ride do shop you can get okay let's get into the trailer so the trailer opens with Sonic voiced by Ben Schwarz taals voiced by Colleen o shanesy and Knuckles voiced by Idris Elba James Marsen returns as Tom and tells Sonic he's finally found his family tails is flying near London Bridge and Knuckles launches himself off Big Ben and Sonic speeds up the suspension cables on the tower bridge like he does off the video game up the walls truly this is
all team Sonic and I love it they shared promo material not long ago of their insas across different cities and throughout the movies they've appeared in a lot of locations across the US and different cities and now in London and Tokyo I assume by Sonic 4 will be in space just kidding Knuckles when launching off Big Ben is showing off his flames of disaster punch we saw him using this in the series and this is just a reminder that Knuckles had a really short sweet funny series that might not affect the overall movie but is
very fun and is super quick to watch if you want to go watch it on Paramount then Tom unveils an illustration of longclaw and Sonic and their home World Mobius hidden behind the mosque this I assume is in the cave from the first movie as some remember longclaw is a Giant Warrior owl that took care of Sonic and sent him to Earth when the AK kid is attacked she sent Sonic through the ring portal to Earth for safety leaving our baby alone Mobius is their iconic home world and you know from like the beginning of
the Sega games that iconic Loop dloop world I don't think they've ever actually called it Mobius in the movies though it was mentioned in the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 novelization and on the GHz podcast Pat Casey the writer for the movies mentioned how they weren't allowed to name the planet officially and depending on what you're watching or playing sometimes it's Earth sometimes it's Mobius or just some unnamed Planet it was up for debate and confusion and just wasn't really clarified and I doubt Paramount wants to be the one to put a hard label on it
so right now I'll call it Mobius but they're going to call it unnamed planet either way it looks like Sonic is still living his best life in Green Hills Montana then we get a very cartoony EKG Monitor and this is where Shadow is being held within the gun facilities and you can tell it's the gun facilities from the man's jacket with their logo on it this is short for Guardian units of Nations formed after the first movie which we saw more of in the second movie we see Commander Walters who appeared in the last two
movies he's the commander of gun and funny enough in the Shadow the Hedgehog video game he initially saw Shadow as an enemy blaming him for the death of his family on the ark ship and Maria who I'm going to get into soon who was his young friend so the beef here isn't too far off for these two the man says there's been been a security level breach and they need team Sonic's assistance which I love and as I mentioned before team Sonic is the team of Knuckles Tails and Sonic which I believe was formed in
the early 2000 video game Sonic Heroes however I just love that after two movies in a series they're officially a team with a name Doctor Strange can use the power of an infinity stone to make time B do his will but I don't have that option I need a watch one that's comfortable enough to wear every day one that feels like me and one that I can trust to get me where I need to be on time and thank God I had whole scir with me at San Diego Comic-Con recently I made it into Hall
h and thank God I was able to keep time with my whole SK Carlos and maple Maple this baby kept me on time I'm so grateful but the Marvel panel is starting soon and they're going to make me put my phone away wish me luck holar is an Austrian watch and jewelry brand for men and women all of their watches are made from all natural materials which makes each item unique they're only made in small batches and tend to sell out quickly and having had mine for a few weeks now I get why holkar makes

the man mentions project Shadow which is very important and we see it play out a little in the trailer and I'll explain it here like Shadow's original pass from the games the government sanctioned secret project project Shadows produced two creatures on the ark biolizard and Shadow this was overseen by Professor Gerald Robotnik the grandfather of Maria Robotnik and Dr Eggman Maria was a young girl born and raised on the space Colony Arc though she suffered from a terminal illness that made her unable to leave Gerald took project Shadow initially hoping to find a cure for
her through these creatures immortality so they produce Shadow who becomes super close with Maria but when the military came to shut it down Maria was killed by one of their soldiers when trying to escape her passing is Shadow's reason for living or more so doing anything bad he's doing today he kind of got so hurt that he can't come back from it you know what I'm saying the opposite of what happened to Sonic we see a lot of the story play out and we're seeing fragments of the past we even see Maria and Shadow become
clo we see them put their hands up to the glass we see how close they were and now she's just going to die we even see what I assume his gun entering the scene and then the aftermath that is Gerald in Shadow over Maria's body now I kind of wish they didn't put this in the trailer but I noticed from the trailer doing a lot of fan service to the original like Sonic fans rather than the people that see the movies so the people that see the movies don't know that she dies but the fans
they know she dies they know she dies from the jump so the team Sonic lands drops in and truly unconvinced they will lose to this Rogue alien then in steps the baddest boy the edgiest teen the coolest kid on the Block I'm talking Shadow everything about him just looks so good this movie went from this to this and I'm just so about it he Reeves was such a great pick for this because he isn't too edgy but just a very very sad John Wick at all times in which like Assassin aside feels like Shadow deep
down and his first line entering is this you're a colorful buch God you got to love him behind the trio there is a sign in Japanese that says Tokyo souvenirs they're actually at the big shabuya in Tokyo you know that one you see all the time in social media in one shot you can see the big shabuya 109 department store in the background then Shadow takes knuckle knuckle and twists the heck out of it then drop kicks him into a Teleport Shadow feels like the dark version of Sonic because he can also match him in
speed he's Nimble agile and a great fighter however he can use Chaos Control like Wanda I'm kidding or am I in the games he used nearby Chaos Emeralds to gain chaos powers to achieve this I don't know what it would look like for the movie but this power allows him some control over time and space making it instantaneous for him to move across it AKA teleport like we're seeing him do now he's also decked with his specialized Air shoes they expel air from the Jets like their name implies which allows him to hover and helps
with his speed in the trailer we see why they went to London out of the water rises what looks like an Eggman ship it looks like the one from Sonic Frontiers however in the trailer we see Shadow speeding around in the dark and his Red Trail is what highlights the circumference around the ship and I believe he's bringing the massive Destroyer out of the water it's also rising out of the river temps just next to the tower bridge around now you hear the dramatic cover of the Sonic the Hedgehog song The Green Hill Zone song
and it's just so dramatic I love it we get glimpses of Shadow really kicking gun soldiers but this mimics the opening intro beat down from the shadow of the Hedgehog game it feels like we saw Tom crushed on the floor and he's wearing gun apparel to my knowledge he didn't work at gun he might have been promoted but I think he's actually infiltrating he screams Sonic while we see Shadow tapping into even more power and is about to land a diabolical blow we then see a red and black orb in the sky I assume this
is Shadow just sucking everything in sight using his Chaos Control or just chaos power he was able to teleport the space Colony Arc with it and maybe visually for the movies the powers look and act like a black hole then they team up with Robotnik and I hate it but I also like how they recycled him to be a teammate now instead of just reusing the same villain I think this is a really good strategy we're also getting a glimpse at robotnik's death crab machine from the games behind Robotnik is a giant crab likee machine
this I assume is mimicking the crab meats or the crab machines eggmen made in the video games then we see dark Rider Shadow's motorcycle from the games and then we get the sickest Acura slide from Shadow if I make a movie one day I don't care what it is I don't care if it's a romantic comedy I'm putting that slide on a motorcycle as soon as you do it I'm in I'm locked loaded around here I might be wrong but it does sound like live and learn from Sonic Adventures 2 it feels like a really
slowed down cover of it it's really hard to see but we get a cameo from the Chows from the video games in the back and me and Evan played it on the break room which you should subscribe to go watch us play games then we see Eggman and Robotnik It's Like A Series of Unfortunate Events all over again watching Jim Carrey playing multiple roles rumors have suggested that this movie will involve time travel I don't really know yet but that's the only way I can really deduce why he's being able to talk to his grandfather
and we can confirm it's his grandfather because he calls him pop pop which is a normal nickname to give a grandpaa then we close the trailer to Sonic the Hedgehog 3 with both characters slamming into each other and I love this I'm so excited about the movie it looks amazing and the CGI is much better it's so great it's been a while since the second movie and we're due for this as soon as possible my only critique is that they might have released a lot in this trailer for people that have seen the movies and
don't know the games but when doesn't Paramount do stuff like that they did it with I'm still excited overall though the holiday season can't come soon enough comment down below your thoughts on Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and its trailer if you're excited for it if you're just going to dress up and go to the premiere like me I'm so excited follow me at Lulu Clemens And subscribe to all three channels in the new rockstars Network for breakdowns and news coverage of everything you love especially covering Sonic thanks for watching I'll see you guys later uh
