Don't hold your breath for a re-release of #SonicTheMovie OVA - SEGA is reportedly missing key music & voice actor royalty paperwork preventing the English language dub from ever being released again. #SonicNews #SonicTheHedgehog
My German is rough, but it says, “Sonic the Hedgehog is back on the big screen!”
It looks like Sonic 3 is releasing in some regions of the UK on Christmas Day. Wow, that’s a pretty late release date. I’ll make sure to tag my spoilers for the whole week or two it releases. That, and I’m almost certain that the run time will change as well. I’m sure that it’ll be longer than 90 minutes.
The Sonic Fandom's reaction: oooooh the child is definitely getting shot now
These people I swear
Oh joy, here comes the entire fucking fandom clamoring for the onscreen death of a terminally ill child. What brand of love and light fuckery is this.
...Huh. I've heard of PG-13 ratings, but not PG-12.
Sonic 3 will reportedly be PG-12 rated according to a Slovakian film rating website : r/SonicTheMovie (reddit.com)
...Ah. That explains it.
Just did a quick perusal of Google to try and get a more accurate feel for if Maria's death may be included in the film, and so far, from what I'm seeing, the answer seems to be a tentative "possibly, though it's largely up in the air." There are a lot of mitigating factors, such as the differences between the ESRB and movie ratings, the fact that the presence of gun violence has increased in PG-13 movies over the past 35 years, and whether blood gets shown.
My common sense tells me that if they do show Maria's death, they're not going to be as graphic about it as fandom wants it to be. But it may still show up if they decide to feature her character (which, to play the faintest devil's advocate, there is a distant possibility they may not).
OKAY SO EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS AND I WANTED TO SHARE MINE. SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS
So in my second viewing, which a much bigger audience, I wanted to record the rooms reaction to the mid credit scene. I just knew people were gonna be hype. AND I WAS RIGHT.
My favorite part was when Tails said "I hope I'm not too late." And someone in the crowd screamed "You're not!!"
