i was supposed to post this the day i watched it (19th) but i forgot and was lazy im sorryy also i redesigned them both slightly.. im so sorry.. i might upload their new designs some time.. but idk.. (edit I did)
major spoilers for the movie after my second viewing of the movie (allowing me to process it) , it is completely safe to say this is the best movie of the trilogy. i am absolutely in LOVE how they adapted the story. each and every reference felt like the writers cared about what they were interpreting, even if some felt excessive (talk about low-budget flights), and it was even in the SOUNDTRACK AND THE SOUNDTRACK NAMES??? live and learn being shadow's theme, playing in menacing, nostalgic, and epic scenes. i have no words. sonic is handled surprisingly well, and he's allowed to be flawed yet forgiving in a more realistic manner, especially when he's shown angry?? he was trying to kill shadow and i was like "HEY THATS NEW" although i will complain that he's shown more than shadow. shadow? OH. MY GOD. PERFECTION. MY FAVORITE SHADOW, DOWN TO THE VOICE, DIALOGUE, JUST EVERYTHING ABOUT THE CHARACTER. the stages of grief being reflected through the two hedgehogs were so goooddd
