Metal Sonic & Amy Rose’s Post-Credits Debuts Risked Forcing Sonic 4’s Story
There Needs To Be A Clear Plan For Sonic 4
After the introduction of Amy Rose and Metal Sonic inSonic the Hedgehog 3’spost-credits scene,there was concern that there were no clear plans for what their roles would be inSonic 4. It is all too common forpost-credits scenes to lead nowherein major franchises. A franchise that is well known for its post-credits scenes is the Marvel Cinematic Universe. AfterSpider-Man: Homecoming, the first Spidey entry in the MCU, it was teased that Mac Gargan, aka Scorpion, would form the Sinister Six. However, this post-credits scene never paid off.
Sonic 4 Is The Perfect Place To Introduce A Character All 3 Movies Have Tried & Failed To Include
After Sonic 3’s story, Sonic the Hedgehog 4 would be the perfect movie to introduce a character who often works with both GUN and Shadow.
The most recent film in thePirates of the Caribbeanfranchise, 2017’sDead Men Tell No Tales, teased the return of Davy Jones in the post-credits scene. However, this film was not very well received, and the future of thePiratesfranchise is now uncertain. Therefore, it is unknown if this post-credits scene will ever lead to anything. These two examples prove that it is all-too-common for post-credits scenes to lead nowhere, which is whyit’s good that Fowler and his team have plans forSonic 4.
The Sonic Franchise Already Has Plans For Metal Sonic & Amy Rose’s Story In Sonic 4
Amy Rose & Metal Sonic Will Have Major Roles In Sonic 4
Fowler has admitted that post-credits scenes are usually the last thing he worries about for theSonicfilms, since he is so focused on making sure the movie gets finished. This sentiment could lead to concern that there is no plan forAmy Rose and Metal Sonic inSonic the Hedgehog 4. However,Fowler has claimed that they have several very exciting ideas for how they could both be incorporated intoSonic 4’sstory. He said:
I mean, usually the way these post-credit teasers work is we’re so jamming on finishing the film, but at the same time, you don’t want to just throw characters in there and not know what you’re going to do with them. So, there’s certainly, as we were winding down on Sonic 3, and as we were prepping that post-credit teaser, we absolutely have had a lot of really great creative discussions and got excited by some ideas. Because you don’t want to paint yourself into a corner and put a character in there and then not know what you’re going to do with it. But it’s all very preliminary, and much more work needing to come to really get that process going.
It is good to receive confirmation that Fowler wouldn’t have included Amy Rose and Metal Sonic inSonic 3if they didn’t know what their roles inSonic the Hedgehog 4would be. TheSonicfranchise is full of plenty of amazing characters that Fowler and his team could have chosen from, soit is relieving to learn that Amy Rose and Metal Sonic were intentionally chosen because of theSonic 4plans. Fowler having a clear vision forSonic the Hedgehog 4will likely lead to a much stronger movie.
Sonic 4’s Early Plans Mean It Won’t Waste Amy Rose & Metal Sonic
Amy Rose & Metal Sonic Are Both Amazing Characters
No story details forSonic the Hedgehog 4are currently known. However, given Fowler’s comments, it is safe to say that both Amy Rose and Metal Sonic will have major roles in the movie. After being saved by Amy Rose in the post-credits scene ofSonic 3, it is likely that Sonic will work with her in the sequel. Meanwhile, Metal Sonic will definitely not give up after failing to defeat Sonic in the post-credits scene. This means thatMetal Sonic could very well be the main villain of the next movie in the series.
Metal Sonic was created by Ivo Robotnik in the video games. However, it’s currently unknown if Jim Carrey will once again return forSonic the Hedgehog 4.
There’s a chance thatSonic the Hedgehog 4could adapt the story of the 1993 video gameSonic the Hedgehog CD. InSonic the Hedgehog CD, Amy Rose is kidnapped and Sonic eventually saves her, defeating both Metal Sonic and Dr. Eggman in the process. Regardless of what the story ofSonic 4ends up being, the fact that Amy Rose and Metal Sonic were specifically chosen to be introduced at the end ofSonic the Hedgehog 3ensures that they will both have major roles in the movie.
