>Sonic's origins: Sonic escapes his birth planet as a baby (rings are how Sonic got to Earth. He can throw one and imagine a place and it will take him there), is found by an owl and grows up on Earth. Ends up alone after some time and grows up staying hidden. He pretty much scavenges and lives in the shadows. He is known as "the blue devil" to the locals and thought of as an urban legend until he is found out about. Loneliness gets to him which leads to the government bringing in Robotnik to find the energy disturbance caused by Sonic. (Sonic makes an electrically charged run when he focuses or gets extremely emotional. His charged run is why he gets detected and how doc comes into the film.) Hijinks ensue and a good story is told as Tom the cop and Sonic become besties.
>How Sonic and Tom meet: Tom has raccoon problems in his trash. When he goes to deal with it, he sees Sonic face to face for the first time. He tranqs him and puts him in a cage. Robotnik shows up, but they escape and Tom begrudgingly agrees to help Sonic. Sonic has to go to San Francisco because he activated his ring portal power and dropped the bag of rings into it, dumping them on top of the Golden Gate Bridge (donuts may also be involved? The wording on that detail was a bit confusing). Tom drives him there because he is moving to San Francisco to prove to himself that he can handle real cop crime and not Montana small world problems. Tika Sumpter plays Tom's wife Annie. She's a veterinarian and since she was known to Sonic when he watched them from afar as being kind to animals, he felt he could trust them both.
>Eggman’s role: Robotnik (who is never referred to as Eggman) is just a psycho doc that works for the government initially. He has drones that can track and shoot, as well as a large tank. He's super obnoxiously smart and makes tons of comments in the film about how superior his brain is. Has the typical long coat and all dark evil scientist look, short mustache as well initially. He gradually gets crazier and more obsessed with Sonic as the film goes, and doesn’t rock the signature look until tail end of movie, when he is defeated and ends up on a foreign planet that Sonic was supposed to escape to in the event of being found on earth. He is now hefty and rocking the full blown 'stache.
>Misc Extras: There is one major car chase scene/battle. Sonic flosses (the dance move) afterwards. In another scene, Sonic creates an Earth bucket list after Tom agrees to help him get his rings back. Sonic sneaks off while Tom makes a phone call in a backwoods gas station. Sonic creates a ruckus and a bar fight ensues.
>Other Sonic characters in the movie: None. It's just Sonic and Eggman.
>doesn’t rock the signature look until tail end of movie, when he is defeated and ends up on a foreign planet that Sonic was supposed to escape to in the event of being found on earth. fucking dropped

I hope it bombs.
John Morales
>Robotnik (who is never referred to as Eggman) Yeah... This is what set off my bullshit alarm. He's been called Eggman internationally for nearly all of this franchise's history, why bother changing it back now?
Because people would point out the ridiculousness of the name, like how it was in the first Xmen movie with the yellow spandex.
Carson Lopez

Liam Parker
>Because people would point out the ridiculousness of the name
So you mean to tell me they got Jim Carrey to play a character who isn't a caricature of a bipolar spastic, or that Doctor Eggman isn't a lanky obese manchild who wants to take over the world to make a theme park with his walrus face plastered all over it?
It doesn't matter that the name is silly, the character is meant to be silly.
They should make him appear with a giant mecha suit (basically a not!Egg-Robo) with "EGGMAN" written in the torso and the when Sonic kicks his ass everyone in the news calls him "the eggman" for that and then the police confirms it's doctor Robotnik but not before people just get used to the name to the point everyone just calls him "the eggman guy" or just "Eggman"
Luke Long
>Sonic flosses (the dance move) afterwards What the fuck
Ya know, this actually sounds like an alright plot for a game based movie. No Amy sounds like a fucking godsend. Still gonna wait for trailers.
Samuel Hernandez
appeal to Classicfags who never played anything past the Genesis games.
Jeremiah Torres
I'm not saying that the name being silly is a bad thing. I'm just using the reasoning that most producers would use for justifying a change.
Thomas Ward
Yeah he already breakdances
Connor Reyes
Ok, but he's not really called anything in those games, there's no dialouge or text. The only way you'd know to call him Robotnik would be to read the instruction manual.
Theres also several classicfag cartoons that call him robotnik, along with a game where his name is in the title.
Landon Thomas
holy shit they really want this to fail dont they
Zachary Wilson
>We want the Mean Bean Machine audience
Benjamin Martinez
I would watch it if they CWC in it
Elijah Lopez
SEGA has no control over the movie whatsoever, unlike, say, the comics. If IDW wanted to do “baby Sonic” SEGA would’ve shut that down in a heartbeat, but Paramount has free reign to do all sorts of shit SEGA would frown upon.
Calling him Robotnik isn’t that far fetched.
Andrew Nguyen
>Sonic has to go to San Francisco because he activated his ring portal power and dropped the bag of rings into it, dumping them on top of the Golden Gate Bridge
So the impetus for the plot is sonic collecting a bunch of rings that he lost like a dumbass. Appropriate.
Bentley Ramirez
>this film comes out 2 weeks before Frozen fucking 2
another red flag is that bongs get it like 3 months AFTER US, which is fucking weird.
Zachary Perez
Eggman becoming a mocking nickname that he hates in the sequel would make sense.
Which is why this is fake. If not even Sega does things that make sense with this franchise, then hollywood damn sure won't.

Brandon Walker
I prefer the script where he runs over eggman with an SUV.
Remember that for Marvel, a successful real African country sounded sillier than pretty much everything else in the MCU, which is why they had to create Wakanda.
Julian Morgan
Actually kinda happened in the last movie Well just the hit in the balls part really
>SEGA has no control over the movie whatsoever Uh, sauce? Because without evidence to suggest as much, it could easily be part of their deal that he'll only be called Eggman. For example, here's a portion of the deal between Marvel and Sony regarding Spider-Man. If it says something like "The evil scientist has to be named Doctor Eggman", then Paramount will have to abide by that.
It's so cookie cutter Hollywood fare, It must be true.
Luke Perry

Sebastian Roberts
Howso? If it was releasing the same week, or shortly after I'd get it, it would be an option to take competing ticket sales from the movie. But Disney's Marvel's Square Enix's Frozen II the New Batch won't compete with movies launched before it until its launch week.
If the F2 has longevity that could stretch into the next year being generous. Releasing before it is the best option a bottom of the rung 'animated' competitor has available.
Bentley Walker
i hate everything about this
Asher Rivera
I have no clue what you're trying to say. This doesn't make any sense. Wakanda is silly in any context, African or not. And Wakanda wasn't created for the MCU anyway. Really, what in the world are you trying to say?
Isaiah Cox
>rings are how Sonic got to Earth. He can throw one and imagine a place and it will take him there This is fucking retarded.

If they can't keep the most important thing about the movie on their control, I doubt they have control over eggmans name.

Ryan Bell
Does anybody in Hollywood play video games? Why couldn't they hire Flynn or the Sonic Boom writers, even Fleetway people. I guess they didn't have the wrong connections.
Jace Smith
>gains his powers while in middle school or college >middle school Has he ever gained his powers in fucking middle school in any incarnation? Or college for that matter?
Matthew Johnson
What I'm saying is exactly what you're experiencing right now. What Hollywood considers too silly is so fucking random and stupid when you put it in the context of the whole franchise of what they're adapting that it's useless to try to think logically about it, you'll just end up with a headache trying to make sense out of it.
Daniel Allen
I prefer the simple elegance of Adam Sandler saying "AAAAAAA my fire balls!"
Yes, in several cartoons shows he is one of those things.
Ethan Jackson
>Has he ever gained his powers in fucking middle school in any incarnation 616, fucking 20 years ago
Henry Parker
It's a kirby crossover.
Carter Gonzalez
They tease Shadow at the end credits. Shadow is every stereotype you hate about what people think Shadow is.
Thomas Price

Connor Cruz
Fart jokes
Brandon Cook
Execs correlate success with "realism" since the success of Nolan's Batman. That tells them that the general western audience rejects camp in favor of a retelling that's more grounded in reality, more fit for live action. They're not going to bring in people who represent what they're trying to move away from.
But still, not in any Sony movie right? In Spiderman he was in high school, In Amazing, he's in high school, and same for homecoming though he doesn't gain his powers in that film. Also in Spidervese both Parkers gain it when they're in high school.
Hunter Walker
Hot take: I fucking hate the name Eggman, they never should have changed it from Robotnik. He's supposed to be a world dominating evil mastermind not a fucking bullshit cooking utensil your grandma buys off some fucking infomercial at 4am.
Zachary James
>Sonic goes to a Sonic to eat chilidogs >everyone claps
>the main character meets Sonic the Hedgehog when he's rummaging around in the garbage like a wild animal. come ON.
The main character's a fucking cop. Start the movie with him getting busted down to speed patrol on some deserted strip of road. He sits out there for days while nothing happens. Then suddenly his radar gun jumps up to several hundred MPH for a second, but he doesn't see anything fly by. Maybe just a plume of dust or something. He figures it's a malfunction and ignores it. It happens again several times over several days. Have him set up some kind of trap to maybe catch whatever this fast thing might be and then have him meet Sonic.
I wrote that just now in 20 seconds. I have to imagine any non-retard screenwriter could bang out something better than "one of video games most iconic characters eats garbage to survive"
Samuel Diaz
>hot take a contrarian opinion on Yea Forums? thanks for labelling it
Hunter Sanders
It's kind of a precedence set by comic book movies
The people making the movie are going off the first zone of Sonic 1 and the back of the box for everything. Why do you think? Robotnik is a ridiculous name. Reading this description, it sounds like they want him to be referred to as "Eggman" in the future so it's stupid to not drop the name once in the film, at least mockingly.
Levi Gutierrez

I’m subscribing to the theory that Baby Sonic is just a baby hedgehog and not some Baby Grinch-tier monstrosity.
An actual baby hedgehog plush would be an easy sell for girls.
Kevin Young
They've clearly been calling him Robotnik when they talk to the writers, and didn't Jim Carrey also say he was playing Robotnik?
It doesn't matter what Sega of Japan does, Robotnik as a name isn't going away.
Eli Rogers

Hey, remember when the moon got blown the fuck up in that very game? Ain't weird how every single game afterwards will show it intact, including the ones that are direct sequels to it? Sonic has no fucking canon. There's selective continuity at best.
To be fair Sonic -tried- to have a canon, but the overall story was so fucking disjointed and riddled with plotholes that 06 for all intents and purposes rebooted it comic book-style
Isaiah Green
Whatever helps you cope when the Adventure games came out they made a point to merge the two names and Robotnik became his real name while Eggman was his nickname and thats just how it is.
Robert Long
The sonic canon was fine up to Sonic Advance 3 after that Shadow fucked it up
Charles Carter
If this is real, then it's pretty stupid and needlessly complicated; and enjoyed SA2's story. I could probably come up with something better than this.

Everyone calls him Eggman as an insult though. I'm sure people not familiar with Sonic would pick up on that.

People who hate Sonic's friends don't have to worry about seeing them in the film; people who love Sonic's friends don't have to worry about the film creating shitty versions of them.
It could take some time but you can actually figure out what goes on in 06. Unleashed places Sonic on a different planet and moves the chaos emeralds and changes the way the people look... and...
Connor Walker
Why not just use the chaos emeralds instead
Brandon Williams
fuck tom is literally chris-chan
Angel Hughes

Logan Barnes

Daniel Hernandez
Now, where is Eggman's Archie comic American first name, Ivo, spoken in any of the games?
Luis Lopez
Some people just can't let it go, even though said people haven't cared about Sonic in years
Eli Jones
Where the fuck did the subset of "fuck Sonic's dumb friends" come from anyway? It cant be the classic fans, their favorite games are Sonic 3&K and Mania, and it cant be from the modern crowd either, since their favorite games tend to be Sonic Adventure/Heroes.
Robert Gomez
>even the games don't use the chaos emeralds anymore That has more to do with that specific Director. His games (storybooks, Colors, Lost World, and Forces) just happen to not usually feature them.
Sonic Adventure 2 when he narrates the Team Dark opening. Also, Archie didn't invent "Ivo," the SEGA America team did (the Adventures of Sonic cartoon called him that once or twice). What point are you trying to make here?
Jaxon King
I still wonder why would Forces shit in Chaos that much. I mean, I'd (kinda) understand if only Shadow, Metal Sonic and Chaos were reproduced by Infinite because Chaos is the less popular of the 3 but why shit on Chaos when FUCKING ZAVOK is here too?
Jackson Scott

Angel Gonzalez
Game journos and the like who haven't touched a Sonic game or cared about the franchise at all since Adventure. Basically the people and are talking about.
Said people are also the reason modern Sonic stories are completely JUSTed now, because they shat all over Unleashed (Perfect tone for Sonic) and praised le epic Baldy McNosehair humor in Colors.
They likely didn't wanna repeat the Generations boss battles, so you just fought Zavok, Infinite and a modified Metal Sonic.
That or the theory that they are pushing Zavok, as Sonic's Bowser.
Adam Long
Just saying that you people are extremely desperate to not call him by his name that he was created with by the people who created him.
Leo Howard
No I call him Eggman but that is his nickname and has been since the Adventure games.
Brandon Howard
They could just modify Chaos too, imagine a Phatom Ruby powered Chaos, THAT would have been fucking amazing and new, not just the same battle again like Generations did. Meanwhile all Zavok got was a big bee badnik. Fucking pathetic

After seeing this thread I'm fully convinced that Chris Chan could write a more competent and entertaining film than Sega
Easton Howard
>than Sega They don't have anything to do with the movie. They gave the rights to Paramount and the project 100% became theirs. As we know with movie Sonic's eyes, they didn't even get final say on his design in the film.
Isaac Roberts
But the "autists" prefer the more serious action-oriented stories like the ones in both Adventure games and Unleashed, and HATE everything since Colors. For normies it's the exact opposite. Forces attempted to appeal to people who wanted a more serious story but failed horribly because all their good writers are gone now.
Justin Rodriguez
But autists were the ones who liked the darker tone in the Adventure games and hate campy shit.

But that's not what it's supposed to be. Sonic is synchronizing with Metal Sonic, so Sonic is reacting to Metal Sonic accidentially looking up Seira's skirt.
You still make no fucking sense. Marvel makes up foregin countries for their supers because they know jack shit about the local politics and they don't have to worry about stepping on any toes. Its the same reason why Doom and Namor have their own made up countries. Even DC does it with Gotham, Metroplias, and more.
New York and the USA in general is used because Marvel HQ is in NY and everyone the staff knows how to write the city. And even then, they don't tread the political line.
tl:dr Marvel has reasons, studio not so much.
Adam Hill
someone have the copypasta "leak" where sonic ends up killing robotnik chasing him in hollywood in a tiny SUV and the end credits song is a weird al parody of this is america?

David Lewis
Considering how much this deviates to what SEGA has wanted as a brand for years and how stingy they are with Archie and then IDW as well as changing a massive amount of things for Boom such as the original radical designs and not being allowed to explore the origins of the characters, there is no doubt in my mind that they signed away creative control.
