I Don’t Like Keanu Reeves as the Voice of Shadow the Hedgehog
The voice just isn’t working for me. We’ve heard only snippets in a pair of trailers so far, and I just can’t put the voice and the character together in my mind. I can’t wrap my head around it. I just hear Keanu, in a rather flat, but also kinda normal for him performance. And I don’t hear Shadow, this crazy, energy-filled new villain character.
See it for yourself in this new trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
The movie itself looks…like a Sonic sequel. It looks like a crazy, wild, mania-infused Sonic threequel. And that’s fine. I’ve never been the biggest fan of these films, but I’ve watched them and the Knuckles show and I’ll definitely see Sonic 3 in the theaters. And then the voice will probably work for me. I guess I just have to have faith in this crazy world we live in. Things will probably work out…with this movie.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 comes to theaters on Dec. 20, so it’s a month away.

The Sonic Movies Are Gonna Get Shadowy
We’ve got the first trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 out today, and it’s a really dark and sinister affair! Shadow the Hedgehog was after my time with the franchise, which ended with Sonic & Knuckles, so I’m not at all connected to the new critter on the crew. But the movie sure does feed into a probably very healthy Shadow fandom.
I mean…it looks cool, eh? I’ve never been the biggest fan of these Sonic movies. But the geek in me can definitely appreciate how they’ve gone whole hog into the lore and the characters after the first film. I can dig that. But yeah, I don’t care about Shadow, so this movie isn’t poking at my personal fandom interest. So hopefully Shadow fans are happy.
And at least Knuckles, my favorite character, still seems fun. His TV show was…something else. But at least we got a real, live-ish action Knuckles the Echidna TV show in my lifetime. That was neat in and of itself!

Hold All the Phones, There is a Knuckles TV Show Coming
We knew this was coming. It was announced, talked about, hinted at; and now we have a trailer. Dear lord in Heaven, we have a trailer for a live action Knuckles the Echidna TV show. How has it come to this?! I love Knuckles. Like, to an absurd degree. I loved him before I even knew what he looked like, because I was the sort of dorky kid who already knew what an echidna was before Knuckles showed up in Sonic 3. I spent so much energy hoping that Knuckles would show up in one of those two Sonic the Hedgehog animated cartoons from my youth.
Young Sean would have his mind freakin’ blown at this existence of this Knuckles TV show.
And it looks good maybe?! I’m no mega fan of the live action Sonic movies. In fact, I don’t think I particularly like them? I don’t remember. But I do think I really enjoyed Idris Elba as Knuckles in the sequel. So you best darn well believe I’ll be watching this show when it comes to Paramount+ on April 26.
Jeez louise. The Knuckles live action TV show. What even is the world we are living in?
