They really knocked it out of the park with this trailer. It’s amazing how the CGI looks so much better compared to the first movie. But Knuckles, man, it’s been so long since he was treated as a credible force to be reckoned with, so seeing him absolutely own Sonic gave me chills.

If Shadow appears in the after credits and/or introduce in the third movie (because let's face it, Shadow is THE most popular sonic character next to Knuckles so he'll DEFINITELY show up in some point within these movies), what would his chaos energy power color would be like? Sure people can say it would be red since that's part of his color scheme, but that's already been taken by Knuckles as we see here. So maybe it would be green since some of his chaos powers have a green color to them I believe. What do you guys think? :0

4:49 if you look at the trailer ending from the part of the water spewing out, the whole sequence is referencing SA1. From the opening scene of sonic’s story being on a rooftop at night with police cars rushing below, that stretch he does which mimics his idle animation in the game and the water spewing from sewer as already mentioned. All we need for the cherry on top is for the city’s name to be Station Square. Edit: my mistake the stretch isn’t the same as the one in SA1, but it is used in the boost games so there’s a reference for you.

They did not disappoint with this trailer and I doubt they will disappoint with the movie itself

I think Jim had mentioned he would like to wear a fat suit when acting as Robotnik but it would take a lot of time trying to put it in and take them off in between shooting

That emerald in the middle of all those waterfalls is 100% the Master Emerald, look at how giant it is. The other green emerald Eggman found is definitely just a regular Chaos emerald. This could mean that it could actually be a "race to get all the emeralds" further pointing to the possibility of Super Sonic being in this one.

Knuckles is 18 and a little bit older than Sonic as well as a few others in the Franchises Cannon,so the Voice isn't that bad,it's good and unique like this version of Sonic.

Idris Elba's voice is amazing as Knuckles.

This trailer looks really good! Now, my only concern... is Tails' characterization in the movie. Will they show him as a character who can hold is own and can prove his value through his resourcefulness... or make him too dependant on Sonic, unable to handle things on his own, to the point he's a bit of a wimp? I hope it's not the latter, though they could do a thing where he starts as a mix of both, but then evolves into the former. As for Knux, his voice slightly reminds me of the voice he had in the original portuguese dub of Sonic X (the first and third episodes at least). If they play him right, he can sound imposing and intimidating when he's against Sonic and Co., but more stoic and responsible when he's on their side, with a dash of vulnerability... and maybe some funny moments where he takes things a bit too much to the letter and stuff :D gotta have at least some funny coming from Knuckles!... though maybe we'll just see that in the potential third movie?

They can characterize Tails however they want, but it's clear that he looks up to Sonic and will be helping him out.

15:22 bro if the rumor of "frontiers' story is about the origin of the chaos emeralds" is true then the movie IS promoting frontiers like many thought, its honestly really good. That structure looks quiete similar to the ruins we saw in frontiers!

Just watching this trailer, I KNOW this sequel will just absolutely obliterate the first film. Honestly, this looks almost like a Marvel level action film. I may be a bit biased as a Sonic fan, but THIS is the best movie trailer I've seen in YEARS.

Ah I remember being so hyped for this movie The team did not disappoint

I think a cool thing at the beginning is that at the beginning, he’s looking down at the cop cars from the top of the building. I’m pretty sure that is a Sonic Adventure reference!

I assume Robotnik hasn’t fully realized his game identity yet because it would be a jarring sudden transition and would be better to take it step by step to feel natural. Besides, Jim Carrey doesn’t usually do sequels til recently. He wanted to keep playing Robotnik because he hasn’t reached his “apotheosis” yet. So if he doesn’t reach it in movie 2, they can get him back for movie 3. LOL

This is greatly taking from Sonic Adventure. From Sonic standing on the skyscraper at the beginning, to Sonic vs Knuckles, to the ice level, and Sonic on Tails Tornado, I even saw Red Mountain in there too

Been trying to find your channel forever but forgot the name.. Finally found it again.

He likely came back by using the power of the chaos - or the master - emerald, if it's still capable of warping spacetime, that is.

I believe Robotnik's transformation into Eggman is still not complete. This will more than likely happen between the end of this movie and the next when Metal Sonic is introduced into the plot. ...C'mon we all know Metal Sonic is next.

Really good trailer. Only real gripe was Knuckles' voice. It works for this scene and when Knuckles is holding back his anger but I hope its not his permanent voice. Hopefully when he let's his anger out or talks normally its a bit lighter voice. It felt like a holding in anger voice. Besides that I really enjoyed the trailer.

when Robotnik said "where are my manners" he's wearing an all-black version of the original pilot suit. Look at his shoulder and when the trailer shows Knuckles throw a punch inside the house you can see more of his outfit and again it's the original pilot suit but black. So he wears 3 new outfits

I feel like this is going to be a Dark Knight kind of sequel where the first movie was a great foundation, but the sequel will be a better and refined version of the concept.
