While this was n’t enough of an issue to makeSonic the Hedgehog 3a high-risk movie by any means , as seeingShadow ’s originunfold on the ash grey screen was extremely piquant and interesting , it was disappointing to see Sonic become sidelined , as he is meant to be the primary character of the franchise .

Sonic The Hedeghog 4’s Most Exciting Teases Have Nothing To Do With Sonic

Sonic Isn’t The Most Exciting Part Of The Upcoming Movie

As the hype keep to build forSonic the Hedgehog 4 , there are a few thing that people are seemingly most aroused about , and importantly , none of them are transonic himself . Thefate of Eggman has been hotly discussedsince his suppose decease at theend ofSonic the Hedgehog 3 , and questions about whether Jim Carrey will return for a 4th installment abound across the net . Shadow ’s inevitable getting even is another , and how he is going to be integrated into the enfranchisement going forward is one of the series ' biggest interrogative sentence .

While Sonic is still the chief character of the franchise , it feel like there is very little for him left to do .

With Amy andMetal Sonic ’s introduction inSonic 4being the last cock-a-hoop point of discussion around the franchise , there is notablyvery small conversation about transonic himself . While Sonic is still the master part of the enfranchisement , it feels like there is very niggling for him left to do . he has already had three moving picture ' worth of ontogeny , andwhatever may be in store for Sonic in future movies has n’t generated as much turmoil as these other expression of the film .

The Sequel Will Likely Focus More On Other Characters Again

Amy Rose and Metal Sonic are patently going to be thecentral focal point ofSonic 4 , as Shadow was forSonic 3 , mean that it is very potential that Sonic will become overshadowed once again . Both new addition will need a decent amount of screen prison term to properly establish their character , or else they will risk feeling like superfluous gimmick that were only added for the saki of seeing moreSoniccharacters . Simply by their very nature , Rose andMetal Sonic ’s debuts will have to take some amount of time away from Sonic , thereby leaving him with less to do .

transonic the Hedgehog 3 ’s post - credit tease give a small hint that Amy Rose might touch the most herculean character in the transonic macrocosm .

There is also the question of the repose of the mould , including Tails and Knuckles , who , despite having their moments , did n’t get too much to do inSonic 3 , and will need to be in the next film in some shape at least . Shadow ’s reappearance was tease duringSonic the Hedgehog 3 ’s end , so he will need to be re-introduce as well . With at least five other eccentric vying for the spotlight , Sonic is very much at risk of feel like a side character in the franchise once again .
