do u think there will be a shadow end credit scene like they did for tails ?

Yeah, sure! It’s easily up there as one of the Top 3 most plausible things to happen for the movie’s post-credits scene! I’d also put Metal Sonic as a possibility, however over the past while I’ve become fonder of the concept of us not getting a movie-version of the modern Metal, but instead a Silver or Mecha Sonic comeback, which will either be in this film or the next one. People tend to say that Shadow happening would be “too soon” in the movie universe, and I used to agree, but then I realized some things.

1. What’s between S3&K and SA2 that’s unbelievably important AND would benefit the movie universe? Sonic Adventure. However, the game’s story mainly focuses on Chaos and his relation to Knuckles’ late clan and the Emeralds. “But wouldn’t that be cool to have in the movies!” Oh my gosh- TOTALLY. But....here’s where my next point comes in.

2. We need to look at this from a more general standpoint. Who are the most recognizable Sonic characters to an audience that aren’t huge fans? Chaos is off the table, at least for a main antagonist role, so I doubt they would spend their next movie going full Adventure 1 mode (UNLESS of course they merge the two Adventure games but we’ll get to that). Metal Sonic is, again, pretty highly applicable here. However, again, let’s be realistic. Some people are insisting the next movie will be based on Sonic CD since they “skipped it”, but think about it. Sonic CD isn’t as highly regarded by fans as other games or Sonic media, let alone have most outsiders probably heard of it. Most importantly.....it sounds like a total downgrade to go from an INSANE second movie taking inspiration from multiple sources and introducing TAILS and KNUCKLES amongst other important Sonic things......to a third movie that’s only based on this One Story with characters that seem arguably less cool (NO OFFENCE TO AMY AND METAL I LOVE THEM SO DEARLY). Not saying they wouldn’t work in this universe, because there can totally be a place for them! Basically, what I’m trying to say is, a lot of things in between S3&K and SA2 probably wouldn’t be able to achieve a balance of recognizability to all audiences and an increased level of hype in comparison to the previous movie if they were to drive the entire next film with a source-accurate story (which wouldn’t even happen anyway, as seen in the upcoming sequel).

And 3. I realized that these same people are the one’s that INSISTED that “Sonic movie 2 is for Tails and Sonic movie 3 is for Knuckles” before he was confirmed for the sequel. It didn’t take a genius to piece together that they could make putting both in the same film could work perfectly fine without any clashing, let alone a new fan that’s barely been in the community for a month. If the sequel DID stick strictly to the Sonic 2 game’s source material, it would have direct-to-DVD energy and, at best, do as well as the first movie, but nothing notably better. Also, it would’ve been SO BAD on their part if they were teasing Knuckles through the Echidna in the first film WITHOUT the intention of addressing it in the next two years 😭 I don’t think they can just plonk G.U.N here and not talk about it next time.

Everyone’s gonna wanna see Super Shadow and Super Sonic in an epic final battle NEXT MOVIE (Shadow addition also may give them an excuse to utilize more human characters again, including a movie version of Maria !!), and I think it’d be the best decision to make in order to keep the movie franchise Alive and Successful.

ON A DIFFERENT, ANTI-CLIMACTIC, AND MORE-COHERENT NOTE: If there’s one thing that’s gonna be spoiled immediately when this movie releases as soon as March 30th in a million different countries, it’s who they’ve introduced in the credits. And if it’s Shadow, then BOY is that the one thing I will most likely go to the theatre knowing about.

#do not kill me for any of my takes here btw this was probably TERRIBLY phrased lmao #I’m good and down with anything!!! hard to predict much though cause like #the first movie had All the fuel to go ‘TAILS AND KNUCKLES’ when it released in full #I’m sure this movie will be no exception #however! it’s not out yet! and the first movie has NADA hints for anything beyond the 2nd movie hints! #Either way I’m gonna appreciate the time spent eyeballing this movie before the third one whisks us away #😢 knuckles enjoy ur fame while it lasts sweetie #vics silly brain zone #sonic #sonic movie 2 #sonic the hedgehog 2
