Neither of us have seen the new Superman and we very much want to so while there are no immediate plans for viewing that film in our schedule yet we do intend to check it out when it comes to a streaming service.

2025-08-24 23:29:02 +0000 UTCI used to watch a lot of sonic back as a kid and while I don’t much these days, these movies are a fun reminder of those times. Of course it doesn’t hurt to have John Wick himself voicing the coolest character in the series. Btw I wanted to ask, will you guys be watching the new Superman film? Since it’s coming and streaming and DVD in a few weeks.

2025-08-22 18:10:44 +0000 UTCSounds like you missed the final after-credits scene, literally at the very end of the credits, that shows Shadow survived. It's funny, too, because Shadow's story in this movie mirrors pretty closely to his story in his debut game, Sonic Adventure 2. That game ended with him seemingly falling to his death after helping save the Earth from the Prototype Ultimate Life Form, and the falling of the Ark, which is a space station which has the Eclipse Cannon. There's multiple levels to the threat that the Ark poses to the Earth, but the movie only mentions the Eclipse Cannon, and in fact, the whole Ark itself seems to be called the "Eclipse Cannon" in the movie. It does simplify things. I remember you reacting to the Sonic X Shadow Generations - Dark Beginnings OVAs, and if you remember, those OVAs end with Shadow actually returning to the Ark that's out in space, because a new threat seems to have emerged from it. Anyway, In the SA2 game, Super Sonic and Super Shadow use the last of their power in their Super forms to teleport the Ark away from the Earth, so it doesn't crash into Earth. Shadow loses his Super form, and falls to Earth. We don't see him again until the next game, and the game does a pretty good job of selling his "death". So, leaving out the end credits scene would've been basically a direct mirror to how his "end" was handled in the game. Honestly, I'm still convinced that Shadow was _actually_ supposed to die in SA2, and he was just too popular to get rid of. Anyway, the girl that showed up to save Sonic from Metal Sonic is Amy Rose, a character that debuted early on in the game's history. Fittingly, both Metal Sonic and Amy debuted in the same game: Sonic the Hedgehog CD, for the Sega CD system. Sonic CD is actually the third game in the series, in release order. This means that Amy(and Metal Sonic) actually debuted EARLIER than Knuckles, who debuted in Sonic 3. Sonic 3 had an interesting release, it was so huge that they wound up having to split it into two games, that got released separately. Sonic 3 got released at the beginning of 1994, and Sonic & Knuckles got released at the end of 1994. Both were large enough on their own to be independent games, but the proper story came with playing them together. Sonic & Knuckles came with another game slot on top of it, that you could use to plug another game cartridge in to, WHILE S&K was in the game console. Doing that let Sonic & Knuckles pull all the data needed from Sonic 3 to form the complete game, Sonic 3 & Knuckles. As a bonus for buying two separate games, the cartridge lock-on also let you connect Sonic 2, and play through Sonic 2 using Knuckles.
