@LukeAlmighty they made a fart comedy out of the most dramatic storyline in Sonic media

I was unironically shocked, that they managed to keep the romantic plotline intact, and treat it with the insane respect it got. They also kept shadow the edgehog as depressed as I know him (although, I know nothing about him). I really believed, that this combo would be seriously unadaptable, yet they did so without hesetation.
When it comes to slapstick, I found the "male body positivity" quite refreshing, and still even the worst joke didn't aproach nearly the cringe of S2 fortnite dance. But, I also see, that ending a fight by butt poke is kinda beyond the line for such a serious moment in the story.

@LukeAlmighty no they didn't
they missed the tiny itty bitty key plot detail, that Maria was supposed to be a sick child, isolated in a sterile environment, in fucking space, never able to touch grass in the most literal sense, never to feel wind on her skin, with no known friends other than a single kid whom she treated like a little brother, and no way to step foot on a planet which will literally kill her... and she loves it nonetheless
when she's running from GUN, she knows that she's doomed either way, and yet, even after being dealt a very bad hand from birth, even after being quite literally shot, she isn't bitter or resentful
she just asks Shadow to take care of the little blue ball of death she loves so much
im the movie she's just a regular happy-go-lucky healthy kid on fucking roller skates, I have no idea why she even got attached to the edgelord

@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty it wasn't supposed to be fun
children should've been leaving crying, dead inside a little, but getting a little bit more mature in a healthy way from experience
or maybe not to that extreme degree, but still, they did attempt drama in the end, after already fucking up entire pacing with "haha funny"
and kids were laughing even at the very end and we got Tails literally explaining what happened and how everyone should be sad, and then almost instantly back to funni comedy and heartwarming family fun!
"but it's for kids!"
yeah, so was Sonic Adventure 2

@matana @LukeAlmighty I can definitely see where you're coming from but I still enjoyed it nonetheless and I think it was the best of the 3 movies.
Tbh I didn't cry at anything when I was a kid, but I do as an adult because certain things hit a little harder with age. I may or may not have had to suck up my tears in the theater so that my friend wouldn't notice lol.
