Why I think Silver deserves to be in the fourth Sonic movie

So off the bat, I know some of you guys are going to disagree with me and that is perfectly fine. I know a lot of people have mixed opinions regarding Silver as a character, and I certainly have my own.

All I ask is that if you do have any disagreements or information I might be missing, that you convey them respectfully since we're talking about FICTIONAL characters---the world isn't gonna end if we think different about a floating psychokinetic hedgehog.

I think he should be in the next Sonic movie, but in order for my points to coalesce properly, there's other aspects of the topic I'd like to address first in hopes you guys will see where I am coming from.

Personally, on top of having his powers being freaking awesome, I think Silver is a good character and is rather underused in more recognized forms of Sonic media. Don't get me wrong, he was in Sonic 06 and could very well have other mediums he was in---but for the most part, I don't see him and it's as if the Sonic franchise forgets he exists.

Now, don't get me wrong---I understand why some people might have an aversion to Silver regarding his appearance in the Sonic 06 game. His boss battle is tough for utterly no reason, he believes Mephiles at the drop of a hat, and then became a (sometimes annoying) meme. But personally, I don't think this makes him a bad character--but rather he had a bad introduction and I'll explain what I mean.

Regarding his trust in Mephiles, I'd be one to agree that it was naive for him to do, but Knuckles the Echidna underwent similar situations with Eggman MULTIPLE times. Especially if we're talking about Sonic X, Knuckles is shown to have believed Dr. Eggman's lies and fight Sonic multiple times. So personally, I feel as though if you dislike Silver for believing Mephiles, you should have similar thought patterns toward Knuckles for doing similar stuff---if not more than Silver.

For me, I interpret Silver trusting Mephiles as desperation to save his world from destruction. Silver---like Sonic---is an adolescent boy who has the weight of the world on his shoulders and is doing the best he can with the information that is given to him.

I'm explaining all of this because I for one, can't exactly agree with the narrative that Silver is a villain or that he's plain stupid (as some---not all, but some---have argued). And even if I were to agree with the notion that Sonic 06 had the worst portrayal of Silver, I still wouldn't agree with the implication that because of his introduction in the game--that it means he doesn't deserve a redesign or rewrite to fit the movie (since that's what Jeff Fowler has done with other characters in the film already).

I think having Silver in the movie could reintroduce a new version of him and considering Jeff Fowler's obvious skills in bringing honor to the iconic characters, I don't see why Silver would be any different.

Some people think Silver wouldn't fit, but I disagree due to a pattern I noticed within the more recent Sonic films (including the end credit scene for the third one involving Shadow).

Granted, we don't know what the fourth movie is about (or at least I don't) so for all I know, Silver COULD not actually fit into the plot. But considering what we saw with the metal Sonics, I think he'd fit right in.

In the second movie, it gave Sonic two allies (Tails and later on Knuckles) and an enemy (Eggman). In the third movie, it gave Sonic two allies (who would later on be Shadow and Eggman) and an enemy (Gerald Robotnik). While sure, they definitely have their differences in how they manifested plotwise, there was still a pattern.

In the end credit scene of the third movie, it already shows us who the new enemy would be [metal sonic] and who the new ally would be [Amy Rose]. So Silver could very easily fit that role of being the second ally. And sure, the whole 'enemy turned friend' thing might be predictable or old for some people, but I don't think it's a case of lazy writing. I think it's more about the franchise showing who Sonic truly is as a character and how at his core, he wants to help people.

In the case of Silver, I think that could work very well. And it's not like Jeff has it happen the exact same way each time. Heck, even if they were to make him an ally for Sonic off the bat without them being enemies first, I believe it could still very much work.

Once again, the fourth movie hasn't even released and so not many of us (at least not me) know know what the plot for it will be. But, if possible (and that's a big if), I think Silver deserves a shot at redemption by being in the fourth Sonic movie.

Sonic 4 Scene Idea

Hey all! Just had the thought that maybe the opening scene of Sonic 4 could go something like this:

(Start scene)

Sonic: Who are you?!

Amy: Oh my gosh it’s you! It’s really you!

Sonic: Um… I noticed?

Amy: I’ve heard so much about you, Sonic the Hedgehog! And to think that I’m here and you’re here and you’re not dead…

Sonic: Sorry, who are you?

Amy: Oh sorry, I can get a bit ahead of myself.

(Amy takes off her cloak to reveal her in her pretty red dress. Sonic freezes, never having encountered a girl hedgehog before. Especially not one this pretty.)

Amy: I’m Amy Rose, it’s an honor to meet you, Sonic the Hedgehog!

Sonic: uh… um… *clears throat* nice to… meet you too… but how do you know me?

Amy: Well, where I come from, everyone knows about you! You were a legend!

Sonic: Yeah that sounds about right… wait, WERE?!

Amy: (Looks down sadly) Yeah… in the Great Battle with Mephiles, you… you never made it out. He was too powerful and devastated the world.

(Sonic looks like he’s seen a ghost and steps back, looking at his hands in horror.)

Sonic: I… die?

Amy: *tries to comfort him* But never fear, Amy Rose is here! I found you, didn’t I? And we won’t let it happen again.

Sonic: Yeah about that… how did you find me? If you’re from the future where I’m… you know… dead… then how did you know how to find me?

Amy: Well, you weren’t the first hedgehog I ran into.

(Amy steps to the side, and Shadow emerges from behind a tree.)

Sonic: SHADOW?!

Shadow: Greetings, Faker.

Sonic: Shadow!

(Sonic runs over and nearly knocks Shadow over with a hug)

Shadow: Woah woah, what was that for?

Sonic: I thought you were dead! I was so worried!

Shadow: *cocks his head* Why?

Sonic: You’re my friend, of course I care!

Shadow: Friend…

Amy: Yeah, I kinda thought he was you.

Shadow: This pink hammer-wielder ran up and tried to attack me.

Amy: I wasn’t trying to attack you! A hug is not an attack!

Shadow: You wrapped your arms around me and pinned my arms to my sides. How is that not an attack?

Amy: Okay that is seriously sad.

Sonic: Don’t worry… Amy… once everyone else sees that Shadow survived and he gets welcomed into the Wachowski family he’s gonna get all the affection he deserves! *Gasps* Oh my gosh we could be twins!

Shadow: No. Not gonna happen.

Sonic: Yes yes yes we could get matching beds and… and oh my gosh you even reawakened on my B-earth day, so we basically share it! We’re twinsies!

Shadow: The more you say the word ‘twin’ the harder I want to hit you.

Sonic: Like a true twin would!

Shadow: You little—

Amy: Guys, guys! We can work this out AFTER we save the world, got it?

Sonic: Yeah, I guess you’re right. We gotta stop that cosplaying tin can and his noobs first.

Amy: You mean Metal Sonic?

Sonic: NOW THAT’S JUST PLAGIARISM!!

Shadow: Who would want to imitate this faker?

Amy: He was a cyborg created by Dr. Robotnik…

Sonic/Shadow: EGGMAN?!?

Sonic: He survived?

Shadow: No one could’ve survived that explosion!

Sonic: The guy’s like a cockroach!

Amy: At least in my timeline, yes. He was alive and well until Mephiles claimed the Flames of Disaster.

Sonic: Wait wait… the Flames of Disaster?

Amy: Yes…?

Sonic: *Looks like he’s gonna be sick* How did Mephiles get the Flames of Disaster?

Amy: Well, Iblis was once sealed inside a vessel, a living being strong enough to never cry. But when a tragedy finally broke the spirit of this vessel the flames were released and set the world into the apocalypse.

Sonic: Knuckles!! We have to go!

Shadow: The echidna?

Sonic: Yes! He’s in danger!

(End scene)

Aaaaand, there you have it! Please don’t mind my rambling, but if you made it to the end of this you’re probably a nerd like me and dont mind lol. Also I had the thought that maybe in the movies they’ll have Knuckles replace Elise in the events of 06, since it showed him getting the Flames of Disaster, and everyone knows that Knuckles is not one to cry. Buuuuuut…. What is Knuckle’s deepest passion? Ding-a-Ling! Honor and family. So if one of his brothers—say maybe Sonic for example—was brutally killed in front of his eyes while he was helpless to stop it, chances are he would finally break *sobs*. Also, maybe Amy and Metal could be from the same future as Silver, Blaze and Mephiles, since I’ve heard there will be multi-verse and time-travel elements in Sonic 4.

Also idk if Jim Carrey will come back as Eggman, but I really hope he does! I don’t really think Metal can carry an entire movie as the villain like Eggman can, or maybe they’ll have Stone take Robotnik’s place. We’ll see! The movies haven’t disappointed me yet, so I doubt they will with such an excellent cast and crew.

Also I got the idea of Sonic and Shadow being twins from this incredible post here:

(familial/platonic) more sketches of shadow integrating into the fam🫶🏽

And also I kinda feel like Shadow and Sonic would act a lot like Donnie and Leo from Rise of the TMNT lol.

Let me know what you think :)

I love this so much! Each one is so cute, and I absolutely adore the idea of Sonic and Shadow being twins!!! Best head canon ever, i hope this happens <3

Movie Sonamy 💙💖

Hey guys! So a headcanon idea for the future of the SCU (does anyone else call it the Sonic Cinematic Universe? idk lol) that I find adorable is Protective Dad Tom and Matchmaker Maddie UwU

Picture it: at first, Sonic thinks that Amy is pretty but thinks of her mainly as another pal like Tails or Knuckles. But then he starts to develop feelings for her and is a bit shy about it since he’s never had a crush before.

Meanwhile, Amy finds Sonic kinda adorkable but pretty immature. But then as the plot progresses she realizes that he’s actually an excellent leader and will do anything for his team and the people he loves, and what she thought was immaturity is actually an unbreakable spirit and relentless positivity. She starts to admire him, and it turns into a crush.

As all this unfolds, we get to see a new side of Tom: the Protective Dad Tom. He sees Amy and Sonic flirt a bit (we’d kinda get second-hand embarrassment because they are to adorable dorks in love, I picture it similar to Adrienette from MLB kinda) and immediately gets very protective of Sonic. Meanwhile Maddie, Knuckles and Tails are all immediate shippers and try to encourage them on.

Idk, I thought this dynamic sounded adorable. What do you guys think? Byeeeee!

I’ll genuinely start bawling if Neo isn’t in the 4th movie like it only makes sense

Some more declawed Shadow except he’s happy for once

At least in two of these.

Heated blanket for aching paws!

Part 1. Part 2

Part two of declawed Shadow

Part one part three

Basically just exploring the idea of Shadow having his “natural hazards” being removed for “safety” reasons. This has lasting effects

Declawed

Small little idea of Shadow being declawed during his time in the lab which very much effects him.

Part 2 part 3

I know it should be coffee beans or something but I thought this would be funny.

If Shadow was to move in with the Wachowskis, I feel like he’d be a little menace

Full ver

Fun post canon idea

Shadow survives and runs off to Canada and sort of just does what he can to survive. In the meantime, the team try tracking him down due to the spike in chaos energy. So it’s a bit of a goose chase with Shadow not even realizing they are trying to find him. He teleports all around the world but is primarily drawn to Canada for reasons he doesn’t understand (Canada and Montana literally border each other, they’re all dumb) he also still has three chaos emeralds while Sonic has the other four.

In which the team track Shadow post movie 3, only he didn’t come back quite right.

Rough concept.

Remember, this shadow came from a meteor :3

I’m sure this has been done but thinking about a lab hogs au

This takes place in the movie verse but I’ll likely snag some stuff from the main line games too.

Essentially, Sonic does get captured in the events of the first movie and is sent to a G.U.N facility for research. After a while they decide to bring shadow out of stasis for social, behavior and other physical experiments that could be preformed. Both of them are given nullification rings to stop their powers but they aren’t 100% full proof.

Also reminder that Shadow in the movie was found in a comet and not made in a lab.

They both hate G.U.N. very much.

HOLY PEAK (still not normal about the movie btw)

THE LIGHT SHINES EVEN THOUGH THE STAR IS GONE. AGHHH

Robotnik is right. It was rigged. But you know what? Stanley won the Stanley Way. And that is by cheating. We Stoners will recover.

In his heart he will always be the number 1 tumblr sexyman

I don't care if it's in the form of a low quality, poorly edited video. This is canon.

I MADE AGENT STONE AND DOCTOR EGGMAN IN MIITOPIA . THEY ARE AT KARAOKE TOGETHER .

I finally got around to writing the first chapter of my Stobotnik fanfiction! I am still workshopping the name, but the placeholder so kindly suggested to me by my niece is there for now. I know literally nothing about writing and posting fanfiction, so if anyone has suggestions or tips, they are greatly appreciated.

I am writing this because I need to see these two happy together, but the movie directors do nothing but disappoint me. So I'm rewriting their story from the very beginning. 

A first look of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) will—supposedly—be showcased at ShowEast next week.

(SOURCE)

A goofy little thing I made a while ago. I know Stone and Shadow seemed to get along in Sonic 3 but for some reason I feel like they would have some tension with each other at times lmao. Especially cause Shadow follows Gerald’s every order and Stone is a little *ahem* jealous of the doctor’s Grand Poppyseed

In order to celebrate Sonic 3 coming out today, I made some sketches of my persona going to see the movie!

(Totally not smuggled in popcorn)

Unfortunately I do not actually own the Sonic squishmallows 😔

People just trying to peacefully watch the movie:

Me in the front row: (I am a major Sonadow shipper, I also ship Robotnik and Agent Stone)

He’s pissing on tHE MOOOOOOOOOON

I’m trying to act cool but in reality I am losing my mind I am so excited for this movie 😭

*About Shadow*

Sonic: I could take him

Knuckles: In a fight, right?

Sonic: … 🦔

Knuckles: … in a fight, right??

RAAAAA I LOVE SILVER

I hope he’s the character that shows up during the end-credits scene in Sonic 3 🥺
