Also gotta be clear. Not saying you shouldn't care about your quality! Internet has done a lot for creatives and entrepreneurs.

I'm just sad cause it feels I can't find the people who AREN'T. Those who posted a video specifically for just them or their friends. I liked coming across those.

Maybe I'm too old, but for me the internet was a place where you DIDN'T care about production quality. You posted what you liked, you found your people, and you made each other smile.

Now everything is about successfully playing an algorithm and monetization. That just sucks.

IT'S MEEEEE

Based answer

I think it's probably a very smart decision to just focus on Shadow for the next film. Asking a lot to flesh out Tails & Knuckles all in one film, and while one shined a LOT, another was half-baked imo.

I always really liked how disappointed Sonic is at Eggman. Knowing there is NOTHING he can do to win him over. He'll always just be a rotten egg.

I do hope the third movie gives lots of good character moments for Tails & Knuckles. I know there's gonna be a lot of attention on Sonic vs Shadow and for good reason, but the ending fight for this movie I thought was very well done. Just hope that it has moments for each character to shine.

10/10 way to close the 2nd act. Everything landed for me. The fight, Robotnik's laugh. The "Chaos is Power" line. Sonic & Knuckles reconciling. All REALLY good. I'll even concede to Tails saying "Only Sonic the Hedgehog needs rescuing THIS much" as a character builder for his confidence. Great stuff

Hearing him say "Gotta go fast" here still takes me out a bit, and definitely something I was dreading after how much I liked it in the first movie, but I'm sure it made a lot of people happy. I'm fine if it wasn't for me.

I can respect the complaints that the rescuing Sonic & Tails bit took way too long. It absolutely does feel that way even on second watch, but it definitely isn't experience ruining.

I would say this was a wasted opportunity to not have Rachel do an Akira slide on the golf cart, but with the hindsight of Shadow in the next movie it makes sense.
