Sonic The Hedgehog 2: Where Can The Movies Go From Here?

gamerant.com:

The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise is about to attain a new level of public popularity, maybe even beyond its 90s heyday. With a blockbuster trilogy of films, a new triple-A game, and a couple of series still on the way, the franchise is about to be one of the biggest names out there.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has the questionable benefit of releasing on the immediate heels of the announcement of a full Sonic cinematic universe. The problem with that term and the expectations surrounding it is that the film industry's biggest successes and a few of its biggest failures fall under the same category. Looking at the plot, world-building, and plans for expansion in the Sonic film franchise, it's worth speculating where future projects could take the Blue Blur.

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Review

As every fan knows, the cinematic adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog differ from his games, comics, and shows in a number of significant ways. The film's take on SEGA's chosen one is an extraterrestrial being from an unnamed alternate world with mysterious superpowers. Hiding out on Earth with a human family, Sonic tangles with Dr. Robotnik, goofs off all over his new home and learns to be a hero.

The second film introduces Tails, a fan of Sonic who traveled from a different homeworld to help him out, and Knuckles, a member of a rival tribe who hunts Sonic to his home. By the end of the second film, Eggman is defeated, but not confirmed dead, and the classic trio of Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles have become a team to fight for good. The trio rides off into the sunset with plenty of unanswered questions and new worlds to traverse.

Of course, the big thing worth discussing when it comes to the Sonic movies' future direction would be the big reveal midway
