Sonic the Hedgehog 3
Warning : this clause contains coddler for Sonic the Hedgehog 32024 was a very exciting year for movies , and one of the most anticipated releases of the yr wasSonic the Hedgehog 3 , the latest film in the very successfulSonic the Hedgehogfilm series . The motion picture has the highestRotten Tomatoes score of anySonicfilm , with a lot ofSonic 3 ’s reviewsfocused on the film ’s presentation of one of the most iconic characters in the franchise , Shadow .
WhileShadow ’s introduction come duringSonic 3 , he was actually briefly tease at the end ofSonic the Hedgehog 2 , in the motion-picture show ’s post - credits scene , to set up the next entry . However , the tease at the remainder of the previous picture is interesting in how it differ from what happens in the literal flick , as they both show a very unlike version of the same event . Sonic the Hedgehog 3 ’s endingalso tease what is coming forSonic 4 , so the divergence between the second and third film may indicate howSonic 4will switch things up .
Shadow’s Prison In Sonic 3 Is Very Different From Sonic 2’s Post-Credits Scene

The post - credits view is also unknown in the setting ofSonic the Hedgehog 3 , becauseCommander Walters is apparently learning about where Project Shadow is for the first meter , act surprised that they found file cabinet relating to it , when the newest film makes it seem as if Shadow has been in G.U.N immurement since thedeath of Maria 50 years anterior toSonic 3 . Shadow is kept on a modest prison island that seems to be entirely dedicated to keep back him strong , butSonic 2 ’s post - credits scene implies that G.U.N had no idea where he was .
Sonic 3 Retcons Shadow Waking Up In Sonic The Hedgehog 2’s Credits
Shadow Is Still Unconscious At The Start Of Sonic 3
Another change fromSonic 2toSonic 3is that , inSonic 2 , Shadow ’s eyes open and sparkle with energy right as the film terminate , obviouslyimplying that the character woke up at that moment , and that the next film will pick up right where the former finish . However , intelligibly , that did n’t chance , asSonic the Hedgehog 3takes place a few class after 2 , and Shadow has purportedly been at rest for the last 50 eld , and only wakes up whenGerald Robotnik hacks G.U.N ’s systemsand unloose him .
Simply rely on the interview ’s knowledge of what happened at the remnant of the last picture show would probably result a lot of moviegoer a niggling lost , at least for the first act .
The reason for this disconnect between the two films is probable simply a desire to generate hoopla at the end ofSonic 2 , but then the film producer found that they want Shadow to have his own bespoke insertion during the third movie . It makes sense , as Shadow ’s prison house escape is a great scene , though not quite asepic asSonic 3 ’s final battle , and simplyrelying on the audience ’s knowledge of what take place at the end of the last movie would probably forget a lot of moviegoers a minuscule lose , at least for the first act .
Even How Shadow Is Restrained Is Different In Sonic The Hedgehog 3
There Are Very Few Similarities Between The Two Depictions
transonic 2 ’s post - credits vista shows Shadow on ice-skating rink , but he is also restrained in multiple ways , with two large restraints around his wrists , two around his wooden leg , and then a large cuff around his venter keep him in berth . However , inSonic the Hedgehog 3 , Shadow is in a G.U.N facility , and there are no restraints keeping him in property , as he is simply floating benumbed in a armored combat vehicle . The difference in his conditions is unmatched , but not entirely unexpected , particularly debate the other change made to his prison house .
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 reveals that Doctor Ivo Robotnik is still awake after Sonic the Hedgehog 2 , and here ’s what the film says about his survival .
While the changes seen between the two versions of Shadow ’s prison house are very sodding when compare them directly , in the literal picture , it does n’t come off as a surprise , and suit quite course with the life of the world and characters that theprevious two entries in theSonicfranchiseset up . Even Shadow ’s purpose is quite fundamentally dissimilar when directly compare , butSonic the Hedgehog 3 ’s major changes to Shadow ’s introduction still do n’t take away from how excellent they are .
