I feel like at this point this tweet needs to be pinned in every Sonic thread lol
There is plenty of exposure to Shadow for kids even now.

Yeah but Shadow isnt particular the main character in that game. You start off with Sonic and unlock the others.
The crowd reaction too Shadow was strong especially among children. So I guess he is a big deal. Also been long enough that I dont think we need to do spoiler marks anymore.
You still unlock him pretty early into the game, and he was given away free at several points. You don't have to be the titular character to be known. Even if 10% of those players unlocked Shadow that's a ton of exposure. It's not like starting with Sonic means people don't know anyone else.

I'm not doubting the franchise and characters are well known. Just mean it in the sense if he has a special role that makes him stick out compared to the other characters. Even Sonic Forces had an Episode Shadow mode.

Sonic x Football Manager cinematic universe?
Wha?! Is there some guy calling himself Sonic? What's the context of this?
"Sonic" in this context is Liverpool player Luis Diaz, who is very fast.
The joy on screen is palpable in this movie. Is it deep or complex? Not at all. But everyone involved clearly loves the franchise, and the studio was rewarded for changing course to cater to the fanbase with the first film, so they decide to make a Sonic-ass Sonic film. They go all in on video game silliness, Zones, Emeralds, spin attacks, losing rings, a final boss mecha, Super Sonic and that edgehog himself Shadow. Idris Elba sounds like he's having a blast as Knuckles, almost as much as Jim Carrey doubling down on his 90s heyday throwback.
I like how earnest these films have been. They're good simple fun. Felt like quite a budget beef up over the first too (which in hindsight works well as a straightforward introduction to a more video gamey sequel). The human element (and I'm not counting Robotnik as human, he's as much a cartoon as the animals) is entirely superfluous in this film, which has long stretches where it's just Sonic and Tails, or Sonic & Knuckles, or Sonic, Tails & Knuckles, but they were at least a little funny.

I'm not familiar with most of whatever this video is talking about but is this Super Sonic based on the Sonic the Comic (UK) version? The red spiral rings in his eyes I thought were only in that version (who was more like an evil supervillain split personality in that comic). I grew up with those comics so they color my perception of Sonic stuff more than the later games did.
Sitting here under the maddening influence of our blessed blood moon reminded me that I meant to report in.
This movie isn't real. It's a fever dream I had when I was 13 years old. It's a 2 hours long, 100 million dollar shitpost. I stared into insanity's gaping maw, and out from that impossible chasm echoed "THIS HIT THAT ICE COLD MICHELLE PFEIFFER THAT WHITE GOLD"

Those comics are legit great children's sci fi stories in a Sonic wrapping.I'm not familiar with most of whatever this video is talking about but is this Super Sonic based on the Sonic the Comic (UK) version?

Finally got to see this on Paramount+ and man what an improvement over the garbage 1st movie this was. So many neat little things from the games too like Sonic sucking up that bubble underwater. So glad Super Sonic wasn't spoiled for me as I had no idea that would be in the movie. The only bad parts were when they cut to the human cast playing volleyball and the whole wedding part. I was just like why am I watching this right now as what you are showing me has nothing to do with Sonic or the rest of what is going on. Shades of the first movie.
Honestly I think I liked the first one a bit better. Sure it was more your standard family flick but it had a lot of laughs for me and Sonic being lonely until he finds his family was surprisingly heartfelt.
This one was still funny but only a few standout moments really made me laugh (the reveal at the wedding, Eggman's mushroom coffee attempts, Sonic's Ferris Bueller dummy).
The emotion beats of friendship and taking care of other people was fine, but didn't hit me as strong as the first movie.
Still a pretty fun movie overall, maybe it was just a little too long for me. For such a simple story I don't know why it needed to be a full 2 hours.
