Hayden literally sounds like Shadow though. I can picture Shadow talking like that, or like David Humphrey the og shadow voice actor. Keanu is a meme answer that Sega chose because they were listening to twitter shills.
As a kid, I always imagined Sonic was white, Tails was Asian and Knuckles was black. Knuckles seemed hard to be liked by and came across as a dick to Sonic. At that age, I imagined blacks hated whites and it was hard to be liked by them too
Only Americans are so fricking brainwashed to give a "race" to fictional characters. Newsflash: nobody in Japan or anywhere else in the worlsd thought that any of these characters were any ethnicity besides "rodent".
And yes I'm tyiping like a moron to get my point across to you since it's the only way Americans understand shit.
I grew up in the countryside in Ireland and I had those connotations. Obviously I don't have them anymore now but I do think kids make weird associations like that in their mind
>Obviously I don't have them anymore now but I do think kids make weird associations like that in their mind
They do, but one is supposed to grow out of them. Autists don't and continue to have childish minds well into adulthood.
Not even blacks claim shadow since everyone knows he's supposed to be a emo school shooter type. Knuckles is the only one that get's regularly claimed as black.
This. As much as I like Keanu, he is a terrible performer. There is a place for in the industry, sure, but there is not deny that he sucks at being expressive. He kinda butchered Johny Silverhand in his most emotional moments because he delivered the lines as wooden as possible. Shadow is pure edge, and I dont know if Keanu chungus can show anger with his voice.
Shit. Bale is a method actor, so he would have turned himself into a grade A Edgelord and deliver a top notch Shadow performance. Maybe Sonic 3 should have been a pg 13 movie
>source: John Campea: "I was at cinema con last week and someone told me they were from Paramount and told me not to tell anyone but that Keanu is Shadow and no one else knows this yet"
How come we all used to make fun of shadow a few years ago and now we just all celebrate him?
I swear people called him and adventure 2 fans the end of the sonic franchise.
Shadow the Hedgehog (the game) was hilariously edgy. But every fan of the 3d Sonic games has always loved Shadow's involvement in the games and playing as him since he's just an edgier Sonic. The problem is that there are a lot of non-Sonic fans who like screech about what Sonic fans do and don't like. And there are a lot of autistic fans who hate the 3d games who are incapable of understanding viewpoints that aren't their own
(Source: I used to shitpost quite prominently in the Sonic fandom on gamefaqs)
I legitimately don't know how modern-day Hollywood could do a character like Shadow without trying to be ironic. He's late 90s trenchcoat edgy and that's not something they could portray without making it into a joke.
There was this video I remember from cringe streams that was this African rapper, he was literally jet black. I don’t remember what the title of the video was though.
I don’t know if I’ll be able to support this movie, now that I know James Marsden is a Brian Peck apologist. Hopefully he at least has a minuscule part in it.
>Lets all just pray they will include Live and Learn in the finale.
You really think this won't be the best film this year? > Fat Robotnik > Robotnik Lazer Piss Arc! > Maria fricking dies > Shadow played by Keanu Reeves > Shadow with the Dark Rider > Amy soon to be revealed > Fighting in New York City! > The Ark confirmed > Biolizard OR Metal Sonic as the antagonist > Live and Learn confirmed, likely for final battle > Rouge post-credit scene > Sonic Movie 4 confirmed
Sega is going all fricking out on this one, they've made an entire year of Shadow hype leading up to this.
Most the film was shot and reworked during the actors strike to limit their involvement. There's a group trying to boycott Paramount for supporting Israel, but if we're lucky Iran will have wiped out Israel by then.
The first made $319.7m
The second made $405.4m
If the third makes $600m+ then that'll be good enough honestly, a fourth film is already on the way. It depends if Disneys prequel Mufasa flops or gives up some Imax screens.
>if we're lucky Iran will have wiped out Israel by then
you know israel is undefeated since 1948 right? muslims cant do modern conventional warfare worth a damn
>There's a group trying to boycott Paramount for supporting Israel, but if we're lucky Iran will have wiped out Israel by then.
Every studio in israeliteywood is pro-jewland, including Paramount. But I still hope that Sonic 3 makes a billie and Based Iran wipes out israeliteland, but I think both of those things are unlikely. But then again, I thought Keanu being my perfect choice for Shadow was unlikely yet here we are.
How come we all used to make fun of shadow a few years ago and now we just all celebrate him?
I swear people called him and adventure 2 fans the end of the sonic franchise.
It definitely was the game that started the dark ages for sonic. You got so many other games trying to live up to adventure 2 that Sega basically forgot what the core of Sonic games was all about.
Everything that was cringe 10 years ago is now considered based. Due to clown world getting sillier and sillier each year shit like minions, sheldon cooper, family guy or shadow the hedgehog are now actually too based for the current cringe level of this clown world.

I have often joked about gaylor swift voicing Amy, but I hope it never happens because my wife Amy (who I have nicknamed 'Aim') is too good for gaylor swift.
>canonically she is 12
you sick frick. plus you know if hollyweirdo trannies got their mitts on her they'd either make her 120% dorky and weird like a femcel, or go for straight kid, neither of which is remotely fappable.
Yeah, old internet meme becomes kinda true. I mean, he's playing a John Wick version of Sonic (which others have pointed out), which is close enough. Maybe Devito will be Big the Cat?
>Yeah, old internet meme becomes kinda true.
It's an ancient internet meme I remember seeing in 2004 (if I remember correctly) on a Sonicgay forum I used to post on called the Mobius Forum. Good times. That was before John Wick was even a thing. I've watched the Matrix films, but not the John Wick films. I see Shadow as being a Neo version of Sonic because of Shadow's ability to warp space and time.
>Maybe Devito will be Big the Cat?
Big seems too chill to be played by Devito. Maybe Devito could play Fang the Sniper.
Not even blacks claim shadow since everyone knows he's supposed to be a emo school shooter type. Knuckles is the only one that get's regularly claimed as black.
>Knuckles is the only one that get's regularly claimed as black.
Knuckles is not a Black person, he's a bizarre mix of Australian and Mayan. Black folk like to claim he's black because of his dreadlocks, but the Pajeet god Shiva has dreadlocks too and myths about him are thousands of years old. So Black folk don't have a monopoly on dreadlocks.
>He's not even Vegeta.
I'm not saying Shadow IS Vegeta, just that he's the Sonic franchise's equivalent of Vegeta. Which he very much is. The similarities and parallels are there and they're intentional. Shadow also has some similarities and parallels to Mewtwo.
>Sonic = Goku
Yes >Tails = Gohan
No, Krillin >Knuckles = Piccolo
Yes >Shadow = Vegeta
Yes >Silver = Future Trunks
No idea who Silver is. Stopped caring about Sonic when the Dreamcast died.
>No, Krillin
Nope, Tails has more in common personality-wise with Gohan (Kid Gohan, to be specific) than Krillin. Also, Gohan and Tails are both smart characters.

One of the designers for Sonic 2 stated that his and Sonic's relationship were based on Gohan and Piccolo's in the Saiyan Saga.

By the way, this is a cool feature I discovered now to cross reference actors in movies https://www.imdb.com/search/common/
I don't care if this is a meme cast, to me this is a dream cast (pun intended). The ONLY person I wanted as the voice of Shadow in Sonic 3 is Keanu Reeves, so to me, this is a dream come true.
No one’s going to hire an animu dub VA for a multimillion dollar production. The only reason O’Shaughnessy’s Tails is because she’s Tails in the games right now.
This time I want Shadow's edgy soundtrack to be less of 2000s-era nü metal butt rock and perhaps music relevant to when Shadow was presumably created, say the 60s. I can imagine the songs now:
Blue Cheer - Summertime Blues
The Doors - Break on Through (To the Other Side)
The Kinks - You Really Got Me
Led Zeppelin - Communication Breakdown
MC5 - Kick Out the Jams
The Monkees - (I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone
The Sonics - Psycho
The Standells - Dirty Water
The Stooges - I Wanna Be Your Dog
The Who - My Generation
Sonic Adventure 2 is set 50 years after Shadow's creation, if I remember correctly. So if Sonic 3 is set in 2024, then Shadow was created in 1974. That's assuming that Sonic 3 will be a direct adaptation of Sonic Adventure 2, which it probably won't. I'd love it though if in Sonic 3, Shadow was created on the Space Colony Ark in the 50s with the Space Colony Ark being a part of a secret space program and Shadow and Maria choose the Frank Sinatra version of 'Fly Me To The Moon' as their favourite song.
Oh my god nobody cares.

Her name's literally Amy Rose. She's very fricking white. Plus, she was based on pic related so she went from a white blonde city girl who's in love with a blue hedgehog, to a pink hedgehog city girl who's in love with a blue hedgehog.

Hayden can't act for shit. Keanu's an actual theater actor, and this fits the Shakespearean prowess of the Sonic universe.

His vocal performance was pretty good in Ahsoka.
Hayden literally sounds like Shadow though. I can picture Shadow talking like that, or like David Humphrey the og shadow voice actor. Keanu is a meme answer that Sega chose because they were listening to twitter shills.
Duality of man
Why the frick do people keep saying this. Keanu literally sounds like David Humphrey as his default speaking voice.
Now that it’s official we’re getting contrarian morons. C’est la vie.
possibly the slight obstacle that he can't fricking act
It's fricking voice acting you moron
He's not wearing a shadow costume
Why does everyone fricking want Hayden? He couldn't pull off a Shadow voice for shit. Keanu fricking sounds like Shadow by default.

You think a guy with the last name robotnik would make a black guy to watch his blonde daughter with aids?
They cast Idris Elba as Knuckles. It's a fair trade.

>HAHAHAHA GET IT BECAUSE THE LITERAL COLOR BLACK IS THE SAME AS BROWN SHIT COLORED PEOPLE HAHAHA
Shadows white, Sonics white, cope and rope now. Black doesn’t equal brown.
This, Shadow is a high IQ character, clearly white
>wants to blow up the world because the CIA killed his e-girl girlfriend
I like Shadow and all but high IQ, come on. He's way too emotional.
But that's the only real answer to what they did.
All Sonic characters are white, including Sonic himself, Knuckles and Shadow. I will never accept anything else.
Pretty sure they're blue, red, and black, chud.
Silver being the chud btw.
Shadow has NEVER sounded black. Knuckles is clearly the character of color.
Shadow is white.
Knuckles is black.
Rouge? Possibly latina.
Knuckles isn't black either the echidnas are closer to native americans

Shadow has always been white-coded.
You're right, Shadow has always been white-coded.

honestly it probably would've been TOO kino if that actually were the case
Shit. Bale is a method actor, so he would have turned himself into a grade A Edgelord and deliver a top notch Shadow performance. Maybe Sonic 3 should have been a pg 13 movie
Sonic should take off his shoes in the movie haha. That would be a funny gag.

I legitimately don't know how modern-day Hollywood could do a character like Shadow without trying to be ironic. He's late 90s trenchcoat edgy and that's not something they could portray without making it into a joke.
Just double down on it. Give him his gun and motorcycle. Keep his edgy dialogue. Make him the coolest. Maybe give him a real trench coat and shades.
Just be absolutely genuine in how you portray it. Embrace the 90s edge.
They're going to do what they did with Batman in LEGO movie.
which is
He'll be comically dark and tortured and always bring it up in silly ways. His tragic backstory will be a joke.
The director is a huge Shadow autist, it will be played completely straight.
Based, no wonder the movies are so good. Shadow chads win again
that will make it funnier. bad on purpose is less funny then bad by mistake
FYI the director worked on the Shadow The Hedgehog's CG cutscenes (yes, including the intro)
>wears a trench coat in the late 90s
it'll work out
there are. if you left your basement once in a while you'd realize this.
Show one then homosexual, show a person who is the actual color ink black not just a darker shade of brown
There was this video I remember from cringe streams that was this African rapper, he was literally jet black. I don’t remember what the title of the video was though.
No one is jet black, he was dark brown. Convenient you can’t remember either.
I would've picked Christian Bale over Keanu, but this can work.
Wholesome chungus?
I don’t know if I’ll be able to support this movie, now that I know James Marsden is a Brian Peck apologist. Hopefully he at least has a minuscule part in it.
Same with L, I don’t know why that got lost in translation in the live action adaptation
I am doubtful of this. Keanu just has this bland monotone voice. He can't really emote.

I swear people called him and adventure 2 fans the end of the sonic franchise.
Not a single Sonic game has been as good as the Adventure series, people look back fondly on pre boost bullshit also
It definitely was the game that started the dark ages for sonic. You got so many other games trying to live up to adventure 2 that Sega basically forgot what the core of Sonic games was all about.
You have to embrace your cringe, anon. It turns mistakes into miracles
Edgy The Hedgy was always massively popular in Japan. Same reason we mock Sasuke but he’s still a fan favorite over there.
It's the only redeeming factor for the trash heap in 3d that ruined 2 potential decades of decent 2d sonic.
It wasn't even interesting enough to watch Sonic Boom and Prime.
Genesis Sonic fans have got old and moved on, now the fandom is mostly the Adventure zoomer Sonic fans and those are the ones being catered now.
We've reached the end of the irony poisoning era, and people now want genuine efforts to make something enjoyable.
Good. I hate self aware “””””comedy””””” so fricking much.
Wait until he sees the coolest design yet, with the same color scheme

They fricked up and cast Doc Brown as Pachacamac instead of him...
I want to say Patrick Stewart but he would have been revealed already. So it's probably Mike Pollock.
Doc Brown is too old and frail for anything like that.
All he does in the game on-screen is sit on a chair.

Too bad.
Based, Amy is a fricking stupid and annoying character and her fans are the worst.

Does he wear a black suit and tie?
meme actor
Not the worst choice. A mostly alright choice to be fair. But there are a lot of better alternatives (like Hayden)
>Before he became "the sad guy sitting in a bench meme man" everyone agreed he was a terrible actor
>He hasn't improved but people now want him ruining movies because "he's the reddit guy!"
He can't do facial acting, hence the sitting on a bench meme, but if he's just doing voice acting for Shadow then it'll be good.
>sitting on a bench meme
please don't say these words in a sonic thread
Lead to the head the only thing that'll fix this. Hear me, b***h? A bullet to the fricking brain!
I made this as a joke months back playing with bing AI, but now it's reality. there was speculation for a while
KEANU SHADOW
KEANU CHADOW
Weird, most A.I drawings of Shadow gives him tan arms but this gave him Sonic's ears instead.
Wasn't it already confirmed he was being played by Jared Leto, or did I hallucinate that?

What a chad
Isn't he married to the b***h who ruined Skullgirls?
ALL HAIL SHADOW
HEROES RISE AGAIN
Kino status?
I hope he's directed to sound as edgy as possible and doesn't make Shadow's lines sound boring
Should've gotten Chris Sabat. Shadow is a Vegeta clone.
No one’s going to hire an animu dub VA for a multimillion dollar production. The only reason O’Shaughnessy’s Tails is because she’s Tails in the games right now.
Should have though. Keanu is reddit
>faagot soi #metoo b***h for shadow
have a nice day
Shadow is a combination of Vegeta and Mewtwo, in my opinion.
I thought it was 2D Sonic split into a Super Sonic with a time machine.
How will paramount handle this scene?
?si=9dZfqTQI4w8LPmSl
if they reference this i will be so happy. even if it's just "i've come to make an announcement"
I don't think they will, it's probably too kino for them.
On one hand this is stupid
On the other hand, this is Jim Carrey and Keanu Reeves in the same movie
Terrible casting decision. Keanu doesn't fit as Shadow.
He's getting older now and his voice is changing but he still sounds like himself for the most part so that's actually perfect.
well he sounds like shadow so I guess it's fine
To make myself clear: I have always been a fan of Shadow™ the Hedgehog.

Alright now give him his guns back
I really hope he doesn't phone it in like he usually does with these types of movies
To the anon who said Keanu can't act and should not voice Shadow get fricked.
Yeah, that guy can swallow semen.
I wanna FRICK Tails. Every time Tails was on screen in Sonic 2 I was BRICKED.
What did he mean by this?
hilarious choice because it's so obvious that keanu should voice shadow. i can hear it already
>Keanu Reeves
>NOT Daniel Radcliffe
Frick this film.
My favorite quote
>It wasn't JUST a hedgehog!
When are they gonna adapt real kino?
>Shadow based on John Constantine
>Keanu played John Constantine
>Now Keanu plays Shadow
Full circle kino
This time I want Shadow's edgy soundtrack to be less of 2000s-era nü metal butt rock and perhaps music relevant to when Shadow was presumably created, say the 60s. I can imagine the songs now:
Blue Cheer - Summertime Blues
The Doors - Break on Through (To the Other Side)
The Kinks - You Really Got Me
Led Zeppelin - Communication Breakdown
MC5 - Kick Out the Jams
The Monkees - (I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone
The Sonics - Psycho
The Standells - Dirty Water
The Stooges - I Wanna Be Your Dog
The Who - My Generation

Sonic Adventure 2 is set 50 years after Shadow's creation, if I remember correctly. So if Sonic 3 is set in 2024, then Shadow was created in 1974. That's assuming that Sonic 3 will be a direct adaptation of Sonic Adventure 2, which it probably won't. I'd love it though if in Sonic 3, Shadow was created on the Space Colony Ark in the 50s with the Space Colony Ark being a part of a secret space program and Shadow and Maria choose the Frank Sinatra version of 'Fly Me To The Moon' as their favourite song.
Frick off, Black person.
No-one cares about Daniel RATcliffe. Lick my anus and have a nice day, you Black personhomosexual. lol
I wanted hayden christensen, but keanu is good too

For the record:
Sonic = Lightskin
Shadow = White
Tails = White
Amy = Latinx
Knuckles = Blackest fricking jiggaboo in the universe
Sonic white, Tails asian. Amy is also very much a white girl.
>Amy is also very much a white girl.
Her name's literally Amy Rose. She's very fricking white. Plus, she was based on pic related so she went from a white blonde city girl who's in love with a blue hedgehog, to a pink hedgehog city girl who's in love with a blue hedgehog.
Knuckles is Mesoamerican. Dude's Aztec/Mayan i.e. Ancient Mexican.
he's literally a shit voice actor. what are they thinking?
KINO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I listen to I am all of me on the way to McDonald's
will they adapt the truly daring storyline?
Post it you coward
Where the frick is Rouge?
