Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) | comment |
Spoilers for this movie will be marked as usual. However, due to its nature as the sequel to Sonic the Hedgehog (2020), that film's spoilers are unmarked here. You Have Been Warned!Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is the sequel to the 2020 live-action film based on the Sega franchise of the same name and thusly the second entry in its film series. It released on March 30, 2022 in Europe and on April 8 in the US.After settling down in Green Hills, Sonic (voiced by Ben Schwartz) is ready for more freedom, and Tom (James Marsden) and Maddie (Tika Sumpter) agree to leave him home alone while they go on vacation. However, not long after their departure, Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) returns to Earth in search of an emerald that has the power to both build and destroy civilizations — and he's teamed up with the super-strong echidna Knuckles (voiced by Idris Elba). Wishing to prove his worth as a hero, Sonic teams up with his own sidekick, another recent arrival to Earth named Tails (voiced by Colleen O'Shaughnessey), and together they embark on a journey to find the Master Emerald before it falls into the wrong hands.The movie has a comic tie-in from IDW (who also publishes the comic for the main game series), called Sonic the Hedgehog 2: The Official Movie Pre-Quill. It released on March 30th (a week before the movie's official release) and shows what the characters were up to between movies.On February 15, it was announced that a third Sonic movie was in development, as well as a spin-off series for Paramount+ starring Knuckles the Echidna. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will release on December 20, 2024, while the spin-off series will debut on April 26, 2024. On March 28, producer Toby Ascher has stated that further projects in what will become the Sonic Cinematic Universe are in development.A short-form sequel to the film, titled Sonic Drone Home (which saw Schwartz returning to voice Sonic, without the actors of Tails and Knuckles returning), would be included with the film's home media release.Previews: Title Announcement, Trailer 1, Big Game Spot Trailer, "Blue Justice" trailer, "Final" trailer | |

Cherry Tapping: Super Sonic finishes his No Holds Barred Beat Down of the Giant Eggman Robot by lightly tapping it with his toes and causing it to fall over. Considering the game that was last seen in, Robotnik's reaction is priceless. | |

Instantly Proven Wrong | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_14180452 | comment |
Instantly Proven Wrong: During Sonic's first confrontation with Knuckles, he makes a Badass Boast claiming to be "unstoppable" before attempting to use the Spin Dash on Knuckles. The result? Knuckles effortlessly stopping him in his tracks before flooring him. While traversing the labyrinth containing the Master Emerald, Robotnik declares that he's worked out the timings of the Booby Traps, and that one will be triggered every seven seconds. He hasn't even finished the sentence yet when a Pendulum of Death descends from the ceiling and passes just centimeters from his face, forcing him to revise his calculations. During the final confrontation with Robotnik, Tails manages to dodge a Macross Missile Massacre in his biplane with Sonic on top of the plane. Sonic says that was a "close one" and laughs it off, only to get launched off of Tails' plane by one last missile, and then the biplane gets a wing crushed by the robot's moustache clamping shut over it. Knuckles attempts to keep Tom and Maddie away from Super Sonic, reluctantly informing them that he is no longer the Sonic they once knew. Super Sonic then uses his terrifying reality-warping powers to... create a chili dog for him to eat, and makes another one for Knuckles, which humorously splatters on his face. Knuckles then takes back what he said, and states that "he is exactly the Sonic [they] once knew". | |

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Despite having the same comedic tone as its predecessor, this movie is slightly more intense. Robotnik is much more menacing, the characters are dealing with a doomsday-level threat, and the grudge between Sonic and Robotnik is much more personal. While Knuckles starts off as Sonic's rival in the games to protect the Master Emerald, his reason for hunting him down in the movie is much more personal, as he blames Sonic and Longclaw for the destruction of his tribe and wants to kill the former. But luckily, Sonic becomes more sympathetic to Knuckles. And they become friends. | |

Tempting Fate | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: When a box full of explosives slides near Sonic in the armored car, he tries dismissing them, saying they're not active. Their fuses instantly get lit. After Sonic and Tails manage to evade a massive onslaught of missiles, the former notes that it was a "close one"... only to be hit by another one seconds afterward. During an earlier fight, Knuckles tries and fails to hit Sonic with Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs, Sonic managing to dodge these relatively easily. Sonic mocks him for being unable to live up to his namesake... right before one of the punches connects and sends him flying across the room. In the "I make this look good" part where Knuckles is chasing Sonic down a snowy mountain, Sonic boasts that he's ahead of Knuckles despite his lack of training, and remarks how embarrassing it must be for him. One ramp jump later, and Knuckles punches straight through the ramp to catch up to Sonic, who is in a very bad spot in midair. Before entering a bar for shelter, Sonic claims to Tails that all humans are very hospitable. Unfortunately, the humans in the bar they went into are, in fact, not very hospitable at all. After G.U.N. has Robotnik's lab surrounded, Commander Walters boasts that the Doctor's not a big man anymore without any of his Badniks. Cue Robotnik creating the Death Egg Robot with the Master Emerald's powers via a giant tornado. | |

The Worf Effect | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: Sonic is able to completely total a genius-built tank and an aircraft in the first film. This film illustrates Knuckles' Super-Strength by having the echidna casually catch Sonic mid-attack and slam him to the ground, causing an explosion. Justified in that in his original appearance, Knuckles was strong enough to knock Sonic out of his Super state with a single punch, so his strength here is fairly close to canon. He also states repeatedly that he has trained with his tribe for years. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Sonic spin dashes at Knuckles, who promptly catches Sonic with one hand, says "Do I look like I need your power?" (only in the trailer - he's silent in the actual movie, although he does say it slightly earlier), and then slams Sonic into the ground with his other hand. The whole time, while Knuckles is grimacing, he doesn't appear to be having any trouble holding Sonic back. Previously, Sonic's spin dash was shown to be capable of destroying Robotnik's badniks in the first movie with ease. | |

This changes after Robotnik’s betrayal and his Heel–Face Turn. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Sonic gives Tom one of his rings so he can return from his sister-in-law's wedding in Hawaii. When Sonic is escaping from an avalanche in Siberia after having lost his rings earlier, he makes a call to Tom to make him an emergency portal with the ring. In their first fight, Knuckles is able to grab and hold Sonic while the latter is doing a spin dash before throwing him on the ground. Later when Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles fight Robotnik at the climax, Knuckles does a Fastball Special with Sonic similarly to their initial fight to destroy a drone. One from the last movie. The emerald symbol on Sonic's map, which initially seemed to be not much more than a Mythology Gag in the last film, ends up being the key to how Sonic and Tails can find the Master Emerald in this film. The hologram projector Tails uses in Siberia to help him and Sonic win the dance-off is later used by Tails to help him distract Robotnik. In addition, the midair spin maneuver they do together is used as an attack later in the film. During Rachel and Randall's wedding, a biplane with a celebratory banner flies past them. Later, Tails uses it to save Sonic and Knuckles from the island and win the fight against Robotnik. | |

Adaptation Expansion: As with Sonic in the first film, we learn more of Knuckles's past and how he came to be the Last of His Kind. The Echidna Clan as a whole is also given a more fleshed-out history. In the games, the first Tornado was just a biplane owned by Sonic, and its exact origins are unknown. Here, it's introduced as a banner plane used for Rachel and Randall's wedding. Tails eventually spruces it up with some gadgetry and flies it into battle. | |

The Un-Reveal: In the first film, Sonic's Super-Speed is acknowledged as an anomaly that he has to keep secret because certain groups will want to take advantage of it, the Echidnas showing up to punctuate the point, with advertising for this film hinting that Sonic's power will have some explanation when we see Knuckles exhibiting startlingly similar abilities. In the film proper, we find out that the Echidnas were actually going after Longclaw, Knuckles' animosity towards Sonic being entirely unrelated to his abilities. | |

In the End, You Are on Your Own: After Tails is injured in their escape from Robotnik and Knuckles, Sonic decides to confront them himself without Tails, Tom, or Maddie's help, unwilling to let anyone else get hurt. This changes during the final battle, when all of them must come together in order to defeat the Master-Emerald-fueled Eggman. | |

Robotnik was only able to build all of his fantastic machines not with Offscreen Villain Dark Matter but with funding and connections from the US military. When he betrays the government, they immediately freeze all of his assets and have his hideout surrounded within a few days. Had Robotnik not had the Master Emerald's power, he would have been screwed. | |

While traversing the labyrinth containing the Master Emerald, Robotnik declares that he's worked out the timings of the Booby Traps, and that one will be triggered every seven seconds. He hasn't even finished the sentence yet when a Pendulum of Death descends from the ceiling and passes just centimeters from his face, forcing him to revise his calculations. | |

Also, after crashing through the temple at super speed, the first thing Sonic says is "Nailed it!" Shemar Moore plays a government agent once again. Robotnik absorbing the power of the Master Emerald marks the fourth time that Jim Carrey has played a larger-than-life character associated with the color green, and the second time he's played a character who temporarily gets omnipotent/godlike power. Sonic compares Robotnik's new look to the Monopoly guy. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_39d96ba9 | comment |
Refuse to Rescue the Disliked: Sonic saves Knuckles, his enemy at the time, from drowning in the flooding labyrinth because it's the right thing to do. However, when Robotnik is falling to his apparent death after Super Sonic completely destroys his giant mech and tips it over as a final insult, Sonic floats there and glares at his arch-nemesis, doing nothing to save him. While Sonic has sympathy for Knuckles because their caretakers wiped each other out and left them both orphaned, Robotnik has affected, endangered, and offended the hedgehog, those he holds dear, and nearly everyone else so many times with his callousness and lack of remorse (including trying to crush him and his adoptive parents under the aforementioned mech's foot moments before) that he's completely done with the doctor, deciding that letting him off easy like their last climactic battle isn't worth the risk. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_3b99a9e0 | comment |
As far as the Master Emerald can be said to be a character at all, at least. Unlike the games, it is a merging of the Chaos Emeralds rather than a separate entity — it is actually a shell that contains the Chaos Emeralds within, which, during the climax, is broken to reveal the individual Chaos Emeralds; it becomes its own entity afterwards when Knuckles re-fuses the shards — and has the ability to turn thoughts into reality, a property more associated with the Phantom Ruby from Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces. The Master Emerald is also much smaller than in the games, making it more similar to the Super Emeralds from Sonic 3 & Knuckles. | |

Skewed Priorities: Tom and Maddie call Commander Walters out on setting up a whole government task force to try and capture Sonic when he's proven himself to not be a threat to Earth, particularly when they have the bigger problem of Robotnik's return to worry about. When Agent Stone is knocked out during the climactic battle, Robotnik is more concerned about a potential "complaint about a hostile work environment" than about the fact that his most loyal minion has been rendered unconscious, not to mention the fact that he now has to pilot the Humongous Mecha all by himself. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle: Sonic's first confrontation with Knuckles is definitely in the echidna's favor. Even Sonic unleashing the super-speed that he beat Robotnik with in the previous movie gets completely and utterly no-sold by him. Once Sonic absorbs the seven Chaos Emeralds that emerged from the broken Master Emerald, he easily breaks Robonik's Death Egg Robot's fists and makes quick work out of the robot in one minute. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Played for Laughs. Early on, shortly after arriving to save Sonic from Knuckles, Tails asks if the hedgehog trusts him to do something dangerous. While Sonic was extremely badass in the first film, the primary reason he had a relatively easy time handling any problems that came his way was because of his Super-Speed, which made humans and conventional weapons nearly-useless against him unless you took him by surprise. Otherwise, he demonstrated very little actual skill in fighting. Thus when he goes up against Knuckles, who can keep up with Sonic (to an extent) and explicitly has Super-Strength and years of training, Sonic gets absolutely creamed in their first confrontation and is only saved by Tails' unexpected rescue. When they fight again later, Sonic has to rely on his superior speed to fend Knuckles off and avoid being hit in return. Later on, when Sonic needs to run across the ocean to catch up with Knuckles and Eggman, he does well for a while. That is, until he finds out the hard way that while the water may be perfectly flat by the shore, the further you go out to sea, the stronger the waves become. Robotnik was only able to build all of his fantastic machines not with Offscreen Villain Dark Matter but with funding and connections from the US military. When he betrays the government, they immediately freeze all of his assets and have his hideout surrounded within a few days. Had Robotnik not had the Master Emerald's power, he would have been screwed. In Siberia, Tails gets knocked out from a missile explosion. It takes him quite some time to wake up, especially without immediate medical care, and even when he does, he’s still in no shape to fly to catch up or otherwise help Sonic in the latter’s final fight with Knuckles. It’s not until the final battle that he fully recovers. While Knuckles has tremendous Super-Strength, when he’s unexpectedly pinned underwater by a fallen pillar, he can’t lift it off himself due to having no leverage or way to brace himself, as well as the risk of drowning from the rising waters, and thus would have drowned without Sonic’s help. Sonic's Destructive Saviour acts causes the government to label him a danger and order G.U.N. to capture him. | |

Woman Scorned | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_4063acfd | comment |
Woman Scorned: Rachel is not happy when she finds out Randall's entire relationship with her was just a government scheme to capture Sonic, and doesn't hesitate to unleash her anger over the whole thing. She even recites the "Hell hath no fury" line word-for-word (replacing "woman" with "bride"), then backs it up by blowing up her wedding cake with Tails' laser gun. | |

Adaptational Location Change | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_40b98588 | comment |
Adaptational Location Change: Usually, Angel Island (AKA "the Floating Island") is the resting place of the Master Emerald. Here, the Master Emerald is hidden on Earth and is located in a temple in a submerged island, the temple being this film's version of Labyrinth Zone. The Labyrinth itself also qualifies, as it was originally located on South Island in the games, but is located on Earth here, completely unconnected to the film's version of South Island. | |

Evil Sorcerer | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_434a6d40 | comment |
Unlike in the video game series, Robotnik uses Chaos energy directly without hooking it up to a machine as a power source, becoming a very powerful Evil Sorcerer capable of floating, shooting bolts of energy, conjuring up tornadoes, and psychically constructing machinery of massive scale and lethality with only his mind and scrap parts from around Green Hills. | |

Actionized Sequel: This sequel has Sonic and Tails trying to prevent Dr. Robotnik and Knuckles from getting the Master Emerald with lots of explosions and fight sequences, which contrasts with the first movie's more down-to-earth and universe-building road trip plot. | |

When Tails deciphers the pictograms in the Siberian temple, he explains that the Master Emerald is forged from the seven Chaos Emeralds, which no-one In-Universe had heard about until then. When the Master Emerald breaks apart after Knuckles punches it out of Robotnik, the Chaos Emeralds are revealed, and Sonic unintentionally uses them to transform into Super Sonic. | |

The Stinger: There is a mid-credits scene, showing G.U.N. soldiers cleaning up the wreckage created by Dr. Robotnik's Death Egg Robot. While Commander Walters muses on the slim chances of Robotnik's survival, Agent Stone is revealed to have disguised himself as one of the soldiers. He listens in on the ensuing conversation, where a female G.U.N. agent informs the Commander that a black site file dating 50 years back was uncovered while clearing Robotnik from the databases. It contained coordinates to a research facility housing a black and red hedgehog, who opens his red lightning-fuelled eyes. The name of this test subject? Project Shadow. | |

His selfless act, coupled with Robotnik's callous attitude about it, is enough to plant the seeds of doubt in Knuckles on which side he's on. | |

The Farmer and the Viper: Knuckles saves Eggman from a rolling boulder by holding the stone door open long enough for him to get through. The bad doctor repays this debt by stealing the Master Emerald and leaving him and Sonic to die in the labyrinth. Immediately afterwards, Knuckles gets trapped under a pillar as the room is rapidly being flooded. Sonic decides to save Knuckles despite his inability to swim, letting the echidna to swim to the water's surface while Sonic is trapped on the floor. It almost looks like he's done for, but then Knuckles comes back for him. A life for a life. | |

Crazy-Prepared: Robotnik, despite his massive ego, did have contingency plans in place for if he were ever to be defeated or go missing — namely, as seen in the prequel comic, leaving instructions for Agent Stone on how to recover his Badniks and create a new base of operations. He also has hidden satellites with spare drones and other utilities he would need in an emergency, including a spare flight suit. In spite of having just built the Death Egg Robot mere moments earlier, and fully being self-assured of victory, Robotnik made sure to have a backup power supply and control scheme ready on the off chance that he were to lose possession of the Master Emerald. | |

Logo Joke | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_5473668f | comment |
Logo Joke: This film reuses the Paramount logo variant from the previous film, where Sonic's rings replace the stars, also including their sound effects, but there is one difference: due to ViacomCBS being renamed to Paramount Global, the ViacomCBS byline no longer appears. Musically, the first four notes of Tom Holkenborg's Sonic theme is heard in place of the Green Hill Zone music. The Sega logo is also the same as before, with a series of Sega video game screens forming the logo and the operatic "SE-GA!". There is one slight difference: there are more strings building up to the chant at the end. The biggest change is to the Original Film logo, where the background is blue and the text is red, rather than the other way around. | |

Super-Speed | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_5768d31 | comment |
While Sonic was extremely badass in the first film, the primary reason he had a relatively easy time handling any problems that came his way was because of his Super-Speed, which made humans and conventional weapons nearly-useless against him unless you took him by surprise. Otherwise, he demonstrated very little actual skill in fighting. Thus when he goes up against Knuckles, who can keep up with Sonic (to an extent) and explicitly has Super-Strength and years of training, Sonic gets absolutely creamed in their first confrontation and is only saved by Tails' unexpected rescue. When they fight again later, Sonic has to rely on his superior speed to fend Knuckles off and avoid being hit in return. | |

The Un-Reveal | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_5a3b8032 | comment |
The strange figures in the opening that attack Robotnik prior to Knuckles making his first appearance. After the fight ends and Knuckles arrives, the identities of the strange fighters that appear aren't revealed,note The tie-in comic shows these were alien trackers Knuckles had hired to look for Sonic. Likely the reason they found Robotnik was due to the signal he sent out, which Knuckles detected. nor do they appear for the rest of the movie. | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: In the video games, the Master Emerald acts as a separate entity to and a "controller" for the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds. The Master and Chaos Emeralds are little more than a Power Source for near-limitless energy, though it may change depending on a given entry in the series or piece of media. It is also a main source of power which keeps Knuckles's home, Angel Island, afloat in the sky. The movie has the seven Emeralds fused into one Master Emerald, which turns whoever wields it into a Reality Warper. After Sonic uses the Chaos Emeralds to defeat Robotnik, he scatters them across the planet, with Knuckles fixing the Master Emerald that once held them together. | |

Sliding Scale of Adaptation Modification | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_5a852047 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Adaptation Modification: Unlike the first movie, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 more directly draws on the plots of the Classic Sonic games, specifically Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 with additional elements from Sonic Adventure, while also adding some original twists, making it a Type 2. Original story elements from the first movie are either tied back into adapted plot beats from the games or are made less relevant altogether. | |

It's All My Fault: Sonic faces great turmoil during the last third of the movie because despite trying to follow Tom's words to be safe and responsible, he blames himself for getting Tails injured and knocked out during their adventure and pushes Tom and the others away when they offer to help him obtain the Master Emerald. Thankfully, he grows out of it after saving Knuckles from drowning and Knuckles saving him from drowning. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_5ce7dbb9 | comment |
Central Theme: What it means to be a hero. While Sonic starts the film trying to do good, Tom can rightly see that he's mostly doing it for his own satisfaction and not for the right reasons. Knuckles in parallel, sees himself as the hero, restoring his ancestors' lost honor over the Master Emerald, never stopping to question the long history of bloodshed behind that quest. Both learn to see the true value in being a hero is not in the glory, but in protecting something. | |

Adaptation Amalgamation: The movie exhibits a mix of plot elements from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Sonic meeting Tails and becoming Super Sonic for the first time) and Sonic 3 & Knuckles (Dr. Robotnik seeking the Master Emerald, Knuckles being an adversary of Sonic's) together. The final showdown is a 20-minute adaptation of Sonic Heroes, with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles utilizing all of their individual strengths to fight Robotnik's weapon, while the mid-credits scene has the introduction of Shadow the Hedgehog from Sonic Adventure 2. | |

The Japanese title logo is even more spoiler-ish, clearly indicating that not only is Knuckles in the movie, but he's an antagonist as well. | |

Uniqueness Decay: The original film makes a big deal out of the fact that Sonic is the only anthropomorphic alien animal on Earth, since his subsequent loneliness fuels his character arc for the movie. The trailer for this film shows both Tails and Knuckles on Earth, with the latter even having a superpower to counter Sonic's. The Stinger also reveals Shadow is locked away in a vault in a black site that is at least fifty years old. | |

Sequel Hook | |

Sequel Hook: Sonic scatters the seven Chaos Emeralds across the planet. Though he did so in order to keep them safe, it doesn't mean they can't be found. During the post-credits scene, much as with Tails making his first appearance in The Stinger of the first movie. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles make a pact that they'll defend the universe from all threats that may appear. However, while the government attempts to Unperson Dr. Robotnik one more time under the assumption that he's dead (though Stone is shown to have secretly infiltrated them to look for Robotnik), they come across evidence of a top-secret black ops project. Cut to a pod rising from the ground in a science lab, containing a certain black-and-red hedgehog. Commander Walters says "My God... Project Shadow..." as Shadow's eyes open. Smash to Black. | |

Drunk with Power: Played with. After Sonic defeats Robotnik with his Super form power, Knuckles claims that this form of Sonic is not the one that Maddie and Tom once knew, and has become as corrupt as Robotnik was with the Master Emerald. Sonic then begins to form an energy vortex that will seemingly balloon out of control, but very quickly subverted when he instead uses his newfound power to conjure up the perfect deluxe chili dog as a self-reward, and then accidentally makes a fool out of Knuckles by dropping a chili dog on his face. | |

Knuckles debuts in the games as a threat because he blindsides Sonic and sets up traps for him in the various levels, but as a boss, he is a pushover. While Knuckles is more effective as a hero, he is at best Sonic's equal. Here, Knuckles is Always Someone Better to Sonic. He inflicts a Curb-Stomp Battle with Sonic in their first meeting, and while their rematch is much more even, it is unclear if Sonic could have won. | |

Regardless of what created it, the Death Egg Robot is quite real and Robotnik had the foresight to give the robot a backup power supply on the off-chance he were to be deprived of the Emerald. It takes Sonic turning Super to put an end to the massive machine for good. | |

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Tails and Knuckles, in a way. In the games, while they are good friends, they rarely interacted with each other unless Sonic is around. In the movie however, after Knuckles' Heel–Face Turn, Tails and Knuckles are seen working together on their own, and Knuckles even treats Tails like a younger brother, especially during the baseball scene at the end of the film where he carries Tails on his shoulders like an older brother, which he rarely does towards Tails in the games. | |

Unwitting Pawn: Knuckles doesn't know that he's playing right into Robotnik's hand until Robotnik steals the Master Emerald and reveals to Knuckles that he was using him. | |

Dinner Order Flub: At the Siberian bar, Tails orders beef stew for himself and Sonic, using his Miles Electric to translate. Thanks to the device's faulty translation, they end up getting an unappetizing dish which appears to be beef tongue. | |

Adaptational Badass | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: Knuckles debuts in the games as a threat because he blindsides Sonic and sets up traps for him in the various levels, but as a boss, he is a pushover. While Knuckles is more effective as a hero, he is at best Sonic's equal. Here, Knuckles is Always Someone Better to Sonic. He inflicts a Curb-Stomp Battle with Sonic in their first meeting, and while their rematch is much more even, it is unclear if Sonic could have won. Unlike in the video game series, Robotnik uses Chaos energy directly without hooking it up to a machine as a power source, becoming a very powerful Evil Sorcerer capable of floating, shooting bolts of energy, conjuring up tornadoes, and psychically constructing machinery of massive scale and lethality with only his mind and scrap parts from around Green Hills. In the games Super Sonic rarely demostarted any powers beyond being a Flying Brick, here he's shown to be an outright Reality Warper. Additionally, in most continuities this form has a very strict time limit, with Sonic requiring a steady supply of rings to maintain it. In this movie, there's no mention of any such limit, and Sonic only returns to normal once he voluntarily gives up the emeralds' power in recognition of the fact that he still has "a lot of growing up to do". | |

Once More, with Clarity: The opening scenes of the first movie, where echidnas attacked Longclaw and forced her into exiling Sonic to Earth, are played again, and this time with further backstory. The echidnas sought the location of the Master Emerald, which happens to be Earth, and Longclaw sent Sonic there so he could protect it. | |

Celebrity Paradox | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_7b8b3def | comment |
Celebrity Paradox: During the confrontation in Siberia, Sonic refers to Knuckles as the Winter Soldier. Assuming that Sonic is referring to the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of that character, then wouldn't he notice that Knuckles and Heimdall have the same voice? Sonic is also shown to be a fan of The Fast and the Furious. It's never confirmed if he's seen Hobbs & Shaw, which Knuckles is in. Speaking of comic books, Batman and Professor X are mentioned. No one remarks on any resemblance between Eggman and Jim Carrey, who played the Riddler in Batman Forever, or between Tom and James Marsden, who played the older Cyclops in the X-Men Film Series. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Sonic tries to stop a robbery by kicking the robber out of his vehicle, only to have to instantly swerve the car to avoid hitting a pedestrian. He also recklessly tosses a bomb out of the window, causing it to roll into the sewers and geysers to erupt from below the street's manholes. The hostage rightfully calls him out for doing a terrible job at the superheroics. During a confrontation with Knuckles in Siberia, Sonic seems about to talk Knuckles down and assure him they don't have to fight, but then Tails comes up from behind and tries to trap Knuckles, leading the echidna to believe Sonic was just lying to him. To be fair, Tails didn't know that Knuckles was about to have a change of heart. Played for Laughs when Sonic calls Tom up to use the emergency ring and save him and a knocked out Tails from an incoming avalanche. However Tom mixed up the rings while he was talking with Randell earlier and realize he gave him the emergency ring by accident rather then Rachel's wedding ring. Forcing Tom to have to interrupt the ceremony to retrieve it and, having no time to get somewhere discreet, throw the ring right in front of the ceremony to allow Sonic and Tails to come though with the avalanche coming in right behind them and plowing some of the guests in snow. However this likewise lead to GUN having all the proof they needed that the Wachoskis were hiding Sonic and they quickly reveal themselves and their sting operation to capture Sonic and Tails. G.U.N. sets up a sting operation and captures Sonic and Tails, despite them trying to save the world from being conquered by Robotnik. They quickly get called out on it and the GUN commander relents after seeing the beam of light in the sky from where the emerald temple is meaning Robotnik and Knuckles are close to finding it. | |

Open Secret: This appears to be the general attitude towards Sonic's existence during the movie's time frame; a few citizens are perfectly aware he exists, but they don't talk about him. The US Government is keeping an eye on him, though, and eventually Sonic is arrested when they believe he's too much of a threat to national security. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: There are a few artifacts that get discarded or lost in the movie that are forgotten about, but could have far-reaching consequences if they're recovered: The last we see of the energy-filled quill Robotnik used to power his hovercraft in the previous movie is it being used to power a satellite relay device on the mushroom planet, with Knuckles recognizing it as belonging to Sonic. We don't see it again after, even though the quill was an excellent power source. Sonic loses his rings in the Siberian mountains and never recovers them. They probably got buried in the ensuing avalanche, but are otherwise still functional. A bit more speculative, but at one point, Rachel uses a ray gun that Tails invented against Commander Walters, and later just throws it on the ground within his eye-shot. It's not clear if the one that Tails uses in the climax is the same one. Rachel soon reconciles with Agent Randall after learning that their wedding was a sting operation to capture Sonic. We don't know if they get married for real afterwards, and they're absent for the rest of the movie. The strange figures in the opening that attack Robotnik prior to Knuckles making his first appearance. After the fight ends and Knuckles arrives, the identities of the strange fighters that appear aren't revealed,note The tie-in comic shows these were alien trackers Knuckles had hired to look for Sonic. Likely the reason they found Robotnik was due to the signal he sent out, which Knuckles detected. nor do they appear for the rest of the movie. | |

"Not So Different" Remark: Sonic makes this comment about himself and Knuckles, since they both suffered from the loss of their parental figures as a result of the conflict between the Owls and Echidnas. This almost makes Knuckles have a change of heart, until Tails (who didn't realize this) chooses the wrong time to ambush him, making Knuckles think that Sonic lied to him as a ploy to distract him. | |

Rings of Activation: While trying to rescue Sonic, Tails and Tom, Rachel and Maddie are confronted by a GUN agent. Maddie whips out an anti-gravity device from Tails' backpack which generates a beam of rings as it launches the agent into the air. | |

Stranger in a Familiar Land | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_9ba53911 | comment |
Stranger in a Familiar Land: Played for laughs. Robotnik has spent the better part of the year living off of nothing but mushrooms and (with limited success) had to use them as a latte. And no doubt those mushroom lattes weren't his cup of tea, so to speak. Once he makes it back to Earth, one of the first things he does is have Stone make him one of his Austrian goat milk lattes. Comically, Robotnik is somewhat disappointed the latte he so missed doesn't quite taste the same without, oh say, mushrooms. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: As shown in the crime-fighting opening segment, Sonic has learned at least some normal fighting abilities to combat humans (as using his Spin Dash would certainly be too deadly against them). It still isn't enough to take on the Skilled And Strong Knuckles. | |

Foreshadowing | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Sonic falls out of the fishing boat that he and Tom are in and panics as he can't swim. When Sonic decides to save Knuckles from drowning, he almost drowns himself before the latter returns the favor. When Tails deciphers the pictograms in the Siberian temple, he explains that the Master Emerald is forged from the seven Chaos Emeralds, which no-one In-Universe had heard about until then. When the Master Emerald breaks apart after Knuckles punches it out of Robotnik, the Chaos Emeralds are revealed, and Sonic unintentionally uses them to transform into Super Sonic. The scene after Tom plays Volleyball has Randall call his men his "Squad". He also says that he couldn't have made it in life without them. This has a darker meaning when its revealed that Randall and his friends are all Federal Agents sent to capture Sonic by using Rachel's marriage to infiltrate Tom's family. In the labyrinth, Robotnik doesn't want to die to a rolling boulder, because it would be "derivative." If his "death" in this film sticks, what could be more derivative than his Disney Villain Death? During the climax of the film, Tom and Maddie arrive at Green Hills in a G.U.N. chopper with "SA-2" marked on the side. Cue the post-credits scene, and a certain someone has arrived... | |

Un-person: In the first film, Robotnik's identity and trace of existence was wiped by the government. Needless to say, when the doctor found out about this from Agent Stonenote in a deleted scene only, he was NOT pleased at all. Come the end of the movie, G.U.N prepare to do it again after finding no trace of his body. | |

Little Useless Gun: Ahead of their attempt to rescue Sonic, Tails, and Tom, Maddie gives Rachel a tiny firearm from Tails' backpack that looks more like a toy, especially in the hands of someone twice Tails' height. Subverted when Rachel threatens Commander Walters with it and then shoots the wedding cake, confirming (both to Walters and herself) that it is in fact a real and very powerful laser. | |

Since Sonic's mess was creating and having to run from an avalanche, this covers an Hawaiian wedding in snow! The kicker? The wedding was actually all a ploy made by G.U.N. to capture Sonic. | |

While Knuckles has tremendous Super-Strength, when he’s unexpectedly pinned underwater by a fallen pillar, he can’t lift it off himself due to having no leverage or way to brace himself, as well as the risk of drowning from the rising waters, and thus would have drowned without Sonic’s help. | |

Red Eyes, Take Warning: Knuckles is shown having glowing eyes similar to Sonic when he powers up, but whereas Sonic's eyes glow blue, Knuckles' glow red. As is the norm, Sonic's eyes turn red when he transforms into Super Sonic. Subverted when it turns out that, despite Knuckles' warnings, the power hasn't gone to his head, and he's still the same as ever. Shadow's eyes in The Stinger are also red, and additionally crackling with similar electricity to that of Sonic's. | |

No-Sell: Sonic spin dashes at Knuckles, who promptly catches Sonic with one hand, says "Do I look like I need your power?" (only in the trailer - he's silent in the actual movie, although he does say it slightly earlier), and then slams Sonic into the ground with his other hand. The whole time, while Knuckles is grimacing, he doesn't appear to be having any trouble holding Sonic back. Previously, Sonic's spin dash was shown to be capable of destroying Robotnik's badniks in the first movie with ease. During the climax, Super Sonic effortlessly catches two haymakers from Robotnik's Humongous Mecha without even moving. | |

Although he uses it to break the doorknob on Tom's house early in the movie, he tries to use it on Knuckles, who led him to the Master Emerald and is now useful as a backstage pass to Limp Bizkit. When Sonic drops right in just as he was about to hurt Knuckles, however, he blows out the electricity and decides it's better to let Knuckles fight Sonic so he can get the Master Emerald. | |

Immediate Sequel: Played with.

Retcon: In The Stinger for the first movie, Tails is shown having one tail that he splits into two. When that exact scene is shown at the beginning of this movie, he just has two tails for the whole thing. The first movie stated that the echidnas attacked Longclaw and Sonic specifically for the latter's power. This movie explains that they were actually intending to force Longclaw to give up the location of the Master Emerald, using Sonic as collateral. | |

Just before attempting to backstab Knuckles, Robotnik claims that the echidna is now as much use to him as backstage passes to Limp Bizkit. During the final battle when Robotnik realizes he's in trouble, he rehashes an infamous Donald Trump quote. | |

Was It All a Lie?: After finding out that Randall only romanced her to get to Sonic, an irate Rachel asks him this. It turns out that he actually does have feelings for her, enough to save her from being tased by his boss and revealed that he ended up breaking the first rule of undercover work: Never fall in love. | |

Cycle of Revenge | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_b7042372 | comment |
Cycle of Revenge: The Owls and Echidnas have been fighting over the Master Emerald for centuries in one of these. Sonic and Longclaw were attacked by echidnas in the first movie to try and find out where the Master Emerald had been hidden, and Knuckles is tracking Sonic for the same reason, along with attempting to avenge his clan. The cycle does, however, finally end with them both putting aside their differences and deciding to protect Earth from anyone else who might come for the Emerald. | |

Demoted to Extra | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: Tom Wachowski, who was the deuteragonist and Sonic's main companion in the previous film, plays a slightly smaller role here, and doesn't have much of a role in the main plot until the third act and climax. Justified, as he is away in Hawaii for most of it. Agent Stone, Dr. Robotnik's main partner from the first film, plays a smaller role here, and outright disappears from the film once Robotnik and Knuckles set out to seek the Emerald, only returning during the climax. That said, he did play a significant role in setting up a new secret base for Robotnik, actually assists Robotnik in fighting the heroes in the climax, and is shown in the mid-credits scene to have blended in with the G.U.N. agents and overhear about "Project Shadow". | |

Good Colors, Evil Colors: Evil characters, such as Robotnik and a nameless echidna warrior, display a sinister emerald green glow and become clad in black upon wielding the power of the Master Emerald (which even extends to his Badniks in the case of the former). Sonic, on the other hand, becomes the golden-colored Super Sonic due to the righteousness and love in his heart. | |

He manages to actually trade blows with Knuckles in a straight fight and land a few hits as well as even get the better of Knuckles and pummel him down. He also dodges much of Knuckles's attacks before he is finally put down. | |

Shout-Out | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In the trailer, Tom describes Sonic's habit of moonlighting as a vigilante as "pretending to be Batman." A promotional tweet for the film took the reference further by paraphrasing The Riddler in Batman Forever, which doubles both as an Actor Allusion for Jim Carrey (who played Riddler in that film) and a nod to The Batman, which began preview screenings the day the tweet was posted and also features the Riddler. A second tweet featured another Forever quote and a poster parodying the final shot of Batman (1989). In a deleted scene on the mushroom planet, Dr. Robotnik sees giant stone letters fall out of the sky during a Mushroom Samba that spell out the word "bacon". Robotnik says "I would like to buy a vowel!", causing an E to land and make the word "beacon". When Tom calls Sonic out over destroying an entire city block in Seattle, Sonic quips that it was already messed up, quoting Chris Tucker's character from Rush Hour. After Tom gives some words of wisdom to Sonic, the latter asks if he was quoting Oprah Winfrey. While alone in Tom's house, Sonic recreates Ben Schwartz's most famous line in Parks and Recreation After Robotnik cuts the power at the Wachowskis' house and the TV begins displaying eerie static, Sonic calls out that he "did not order a poltergeist". While taunting Sonic, Robotnik shrieks And Your Little Dog, Too! (referring to Ozzy) in the voice of the Wicked Witch of the West from Wizard of Oz. Robotnik's triumphant return in the trailer is capped off with a one-liner riffing on James Brown's "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag": "Papa's got a brand new 'stache." When attempting to be a superhero, Sonic leaping off a city building while striking a relaxed pose in midair and facing the camera is remarkably similar to the famous "not falling, but rising" scene from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Sonic refers to Knuckles as "the Winter Soldier" when the latter hunts him down during a snowy mountain chase. In this Blue Justice spot, Robotnik quotes George Carlin's "Au contraire, mon frere." When Sonic and Tails manage to evade Knuckles in a police car, Sonic calls Knuckles "Clifford the Big Red Rage Monster".note Paramount Pictures had released a live-action Clifford movie the prior year. When Tom's deputy, Wade, learns about the Master Emerald's ability to convert thought into action, he compares it to "the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man". When Robotnik tries to swat at Tails' biplane (his movements translating to the Humongous Mecha he's in), he does it slowly with a fake roar akin to King Kong. The camera circles around Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles as they fight Badniks together and try to come up with a strategy in the streets of Green Hills, in a manner almost identical to a famous shot in The Avengers (2012) where the heroes team up back-to-back. Sonic mocks Robotnik's new look as "Professor X meets the Monopoly man." Speaking of Robotnik's outfits, one of the options Agent Stone scrolls through in the Robotnique Boutique bears a striking resemblance to Megamind's Black Mamba outfit. Sonic counting to three before saving a pinned Knuckles underwater is similar to what Murtaugh does to Riggs at the end of Lethal Weapon 4. | |

Hard Work Hardly Works: When Knuckles claims that he has been training for years to face Sonic, Sonic mocks him by pointing out that he has had no training at all and has been handily outmaneuvering the echidna. Ultimately subverted, as Knuckles wins both his fights against the Blue Blur, even though Sonic gives one hell of a showing the second time around with his Heroic Second Wind. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_ccecbce4 | comment |
Logical Latecomer: When Sonic and Tails arrive at a bar, Tails faints at the sight of seeing the scary people inside. Sonic, on the other hand, is more used to it due to having lived on Earth for a long time and having had his own bar experience in the previous movie. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_cda501da | comment |
In the labyrinth, Robotnik doesn't want to die to a rolling boulder, because it would be "derivative." If his "death" in this film sticks, what could be more derivative than his Disney Villain Death? | |

Booked Full of Mooks: Sonic escapes from the avalanche in Siberia by teleporting to Rachel's wedding in Hawaii, at which point the groom, Randall, reveals himself to be an undercover GUN agent by tasering Sonic and taking him into custody. He gets help from his groomsmen, his "family", all the guests he invited, and the staff at the wedding venue, all of whom are undercover GUN agents, too. Even the priest officiating the ceremony has a taser hidden in his Bible. Poor Rachel and her family were the only ones unaware that the wedding was just a ploy to capture Sonic. | |

Tom has to explain that Sonic needs to wait for the right call for him to truly be a hero. His antics also lead to the formation of G.U.N, who proceed to capture him and Tails. | |

Contrived Coincidence | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_dc579c91 | comment |
Contrived Coincidence: A twofer: The BIG One: It turns out Rachel's wedding reception just so happens to have a bunch of undercover G.U.N. agents - Randall included - posing as friends and family in order to capture Sonic (and Tails). But what are the odds that Sonic would eventually wind up in Hawaii despite not wanting to go? Somehow, the agents get their mark. Ironically, this works against them when they surround Robotnik's lab after Commander Walters learns that Robotnik has returned, who just got the Master Emerald and proceeds to use its power to take apart materials from the tanks, vehicles, and train to make his Death Egg Robot. Robotnik himself lampshades this when Agent Stone shows him being surrounded by G.U.N military. The Master Emerald's location happens to be just a few hundred miles away and easily visible from where Rachel's wedding in Hawaii (and Sonic himself) is located. | |

This may be an homage to his antics in Tails Adventure. | |

Turns Red: Eggman's Humongous Mecha, quite literally, once Dr. Robotnik kicks on the auxiliary power after the Master Emerald is seized and removed—its internal lighting transitions from green to red. Downplayed in that the mecha only uses one unique flamethrower attack after changing color, not very notable in light of the robot already spending the early part of the Final Battle busting out New Powers as the Plot Demands note Which is justified as the Master Emerald expressly grants the bearer Reality Warper powers. Robotnik was likely creating weapons as he went until the Master Emerald was knocked out of him by Knuckles. After that, he would be just operating off of whatever weapons the mecha had at that time.. | |

Art Evolution: In the first movie's second stinger, Tails' shoes looked more akin to slip-ons. In the first trailer for this movie, when showing the same scene again, they now have shoelaces. His head now also looks less wide than it did in that first version. The sprites for Classic Sonic in the credits, while still retaining the Conjoined Eyes, have now been altered to feature Movie Sonic's blue arms. Sonic is now the same height as his game counterpart, as opposed to being much smaller like in the first movie (presumably a remnant of the original, more "realistic" design). | |

Composite Character | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: As far as the Master Emerald can be said to be a character at all, at least. Unlike the games, it is a merging of the Chaos Emeralds rather than a separate entity — it is actually a shell that contains the Chaos Emeralds within, which, during the climax, is broken to reveal the individual Chaos Emeralds; it becomes its own entity afterwards when Knuckles re-fuses the shards — and has the ability to turn thoughts into reality, a property more associated with the Phantom Ruby from Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces. The Master Emerald is also much smaller than in the games, making it more similar to the Super Emeralds from Sonic 3 & Knuckles. The Death Egg Robot has the color scheme of its classic Sonic the Hedgehog 2 iteration, the size of the mass-produced Death Egg Robots from Sonic Forces, and the power level and position as Eggman's ultimate weapon of the Death Egg. More like "Composite Location", but the temple of the Master Emerald is a combination of the Labyrinth Zone of Sonic 1 (being an underwater maze with crystal formations, booby traps galore and water slides) and the Hidden Palace Zone from the second half of Sonic 3 & Knuckles (not only being the place where the Master Emerald is hidden, but also the arena of Sonic and Knuckles' climatic duel). | |

Instead of Sonic, Robotnik now has his sights set on the Master Emerald in his quest for limitless power, forcing Sonic and Tails to find it before he can use it for his own purposes. | |

No Man Should Have This Power | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_e888fbd8 | comment |
No Man Should Have This Power: The Owl Tribe fought the Echidna Tribe because they believed no one should hold the Reality Warper powers of the Master Emerald. They eventually stole the Emerald from the echidnas and hid it away, and the two tribes battled over it ever since until they wiped each other out. | |

Exact Words: When Tom admires the camaraderie between Randall and his groomsmen, Randall comments that they are more than friends — they're his squad. They're an undercover squad of G.U.N. agents, of which Randall is also a member. | |

Groin Attack | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_eaf5a1ac | comment |
Groin Attack: Discussed as Knuckles advocates using this against Robotnik's Humongous Mecha, claiming it's a universal weak spot. Sonic feels uncomfortable about his use of the word "groin" and pleads with him to stop saying it, only to end up saying it himself when he realizes he's Robotnik's weak spot. | |

Drama-Preserving Handicap: Following the mountain chase, Sonic loses his rings, meaning he has to brave a perilous journey across the ocean to get to the Master Emerald's temple (and is reliant on Tails and the Tornado to catch up to Robotnik afterwards). | |

Mundane Utility | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_eff83d77 | comment |
Mundane Utility: Tom and Maddie use one of Sonic's Rings to get to Hawaii for Rachel's wedding, due to it being cheaper and faster than a flight, while Sonic uses one to get more snacks without being seen, despite the fact he's fast enough to do that without it. After returning from the mushroom planet, Robotnik uses some of his super-advanced high-tech robots to perform some basic dental hygiene and restyle his moustache. While still on the mushroom planet, he uses Sonic's quill, the all-important power source from the first movie, to... stir his mushroom coffee. After absorbing the Chaos Emeralds and turning into his Super form, Sonic uses his unfathomable cosmic power to... create chili dogs. | |

Easily Forgiven: After winning the dance-off, Sonic and Tails get awfully chummy with the patrons of the Siberian bar, considering they were going to throw them both into a burning fireplace. Knuckles becomes an immediate ally to both Sonic and Tails after his Heel–Face Turn, despite spending most of the film trying to kill Sonic. | |

Product Placement | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: Much like the first movie: Sonic offhandedly mentions that Tom and Maddie are staying at the Four Seasons in Oahu. Maddie makes the exact same offhand mention later on. Sonic uses his portal rings to get some Oreo cookies from the supermarket. The G.U.N. Unit enacting Operation Catfish is led by Commander Walters, aka "Olive Garden Guy" from the first movie, who despite operating on the grounds of the Four Seasons Oahu and having a wealth of local cuisine to sample, still made a reservation for himself at Olive Garden that he regretfully cancels to deal with Robotnik. Sonic and Tom prominently have iPhones and have FaceTime calls with them. Similarly, Stone gets a text from Eggman on his Apple Watch. | |

Darkest Hour: Everything is looking dark for our heroes; the Master Emerald shatters in Sonic's hands, and Robotnik is about to kill Sonic, Tom, and Maddie by stomping on them using his giant robot. Luckily, Sonic uses the power of the Chaos Emeralds fused within it and becomes Super Sonic to save himself, Tom, and Maddie from being stomped on by Robotnik's giant robot. | |

Staring Kid | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_fccde3fb | comment |
Staring Kid: In the opening minutes, a truck is barreling towards a group of ice cream truck customers, who all run away except one. The dangerous truck comes to a halt right in front of a kid who stays standing in place, staring. Parodying the sub-trope in which the staring kid is eating an ice cream cone (which usually splatters to the ground in shock), this child's ice cream remains perfectly intact for a few seconds, before the top scoop seems to fly to the right and fall to the ground for no reason. | |

Brick Joke | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: The G.U.N. commander mentions sending Rachel a gift card as compensation for revealing her wedding was a sham. He also cancels his five o’clock appointment at Olive Garden, which is a call-back to the ending of the first movie. While stranded on the Mushroom Planet, Robotnik attempts to make a decent cup of coffee from fungi, to absolutely no avail. When he finally returns to Earth and drinks a fresh latte provided by Stone, he comments that it needs more mushrooms. During the second act, we find out who owned the squad car that Tails stole and ended up destroying in the beginning. It was Deputy Wade's, as he is seen rolling around town on a push scooter with a police light strapped to his helmet. When Tails mentions how the Master Emerald can turn thoughts into reality, Wade compares it to the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. After Robotnik uses the Emerald's power to create the Death Egg Robot, Wade declares that he was right. | |

Talking Is a Free Action | |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) / int_ff5a74c8 | comment |
Talking Is a Free Action: In spite of both being fast enough to get the Master Emerald away from him, Sonic and Knuckles just let Robotnik make a speech to them before he takes it. Likely justified, since Sonic is a bit tired and disoriented from Knuckles' power blows, and Knuckles, being totally caught off guard by Robotnik's betrayal, was not consciously thinking about the Emerald until too late. A downplayed example happens while Tails explains Knuckles' backstory to Sonic. While Knuckles does pursue them, it takes him some time to catch up to the police car they're in; later scenes show Knuckles is capable of moving much faster than that. | |
