How Sonic 3 Changes Shadow’s Origin Story (& What’s the Same)
In Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Shadow the Hedgehog casts a more somber presence. The main villain was hinted at in the end credits of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and this role became more prominent in the new movie. The latest addition to the Sonic the Hedgehog film series explores Shadow’s (Keanu Reeves) tragic past through the introduction of characters like Maria (Alyla Browne) and Gerald Robotnik (Jim Carrey). Although the characters from Sonic Adventures 2 are linked to Shadow’s background, the movie portrays several key events, including a major death, quite differently than they were in the 2001 video game.
