For two years, the second live act Sonic the film was about as close to perfection as these films could be given by Paramount's inability to leave out the human tracks, the needle drops, and the production setting. Unlike the first film, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 hits the gas, bringing every video game outfit to its live-action universe. Tails and Knuckles are here this time, completing Sonic's trio, who work together to defeat Robotnik once again. It's straight up Avengers a moment to see what it looks like as a whole Sonic Heroes section while these little people protect their new home. While these fan service moments are fun, Sonic the Hedgehog 2The integration of concepts like the Master Emeralds and Super transformations, as well as giving more focus to game characters like Shadow the Hedgehog through his post-credits scene, was proof that the live-action movies are starting to feel like real adaptations of the source material made by people who clearly want to pay homage to it.
