![]() ![]() The first movie introduced the idea of Sonic and Eggman’s rivalry, ending with Sonic beginning to find a new family while Eggman descended into madness. While he’s teamed up with Sonic from time to time, he prefers to keep his own counsel while running on glowing hoverboots that can outpace the younger hedgehog.And on top of all that, there's still the question of how the introduction of Shadow can naturally build upon the events of the previous two films. He’s dark, brooding, and has a history of leaving bodies in his wake. Sonic made a quip in his newest movie about Knuckles being “the Winter Soldier,” but Shadow is the real Bucky Barnes of this lore. They then froze Shadow in suspended animation until he was discovered and set loose by Eggman 50 years later, and manipulated into trying to kill Sonic! ![]() It did not work, but Shadow formed a close connection with Maria Robotnik, which made her death all the more traumatic when government agents working for Guardian Units of Nations (G.U.N.) stormed the Robotnik facilities to capture Shadow and killed Maria in the process. Gerald created Shadow to help cure his granddaughter Maria of her terminal illness. Shadow is a genetically engineered immortal, created 50 years prior to the events of Sonic the Hedgehog by Gerald Robotnik (the grandfather of Carrey’s Dr. However, as hinted at in the new post-credits scene, Shadow is far older than the blue blur. ![]() Indeed, in his own spinoff game, Shadow the Hedgehog (2005), he’s allowed to use guns and fight in a way that Sonic would never approve of.

The real quality fan service in the post-credits sequence doesn’t come around until an underling tells our nondescript army man that somehow the inter-dimensional chaos enveloping Green Hills is related to an old defunct military project that’s been in mothballs for decades. For what is Sonic without his Eggman? However, since Carrey has also said he’s seriously considering retiring from acting after Sonic 2, the lack of a body means the franchise could theoretically move on with Robotnik being “gone” in the event that the actor is not persuaded to come back with the right script (or contract).īut this is all small potatoes compared to the bigger reveal… What is Project Shadow? Robotnik to return in the inevitable Sonic the Hedgehog 3. This obviously leaves wiggle room for Dr. And his old buddy, Agent Stone (Lee Majdoub) is seen hiding undercover among military personnel, suggesting he is still searching for his old boss whom he adores a little too much. Yet the confirmation that they have not found a body suggests that the Eggman did survive. When we pick up with the nondescript military general in the post-credits scene, he says surely no one could survive such a disaster. “Fine, we aren’t friends,” the evil genius quips as he and his de-powered robot collapse to the earth in what surely looks like a fireball of death. ![]() Robotnik, he realized he had lost his fight against an alien hedgehog that had gone Super Saiyan on him. ![]()
