Megathread MT | Sonic Prime (Netflix, TV Series) - General Discussion

[sonicclaasic]

I enjoyed watching the first season of Sonic Prime I was a bit skeptical first when I watch the first episode. Then I started to get Into It after watching a couple of more episodes. Looking forward to the next season coming soon.

[The Famous Sonic]

I've heard that season 2 is coming out on 14th December.

Yeeesh - that's quite a while away, unless you mean they've greenlit an actual Season 2 now?

We still got the other two batches of 8 episode chunks from Season 1 to come IIRC - though I suppose the naming conventions of what constitutes calling something a "season" rarely matters when it comes to Netflix.

I actually mean the second batch of episodes. Production on all 24 episodes has finished yet Netflix is making us wait a year after the first batch was released. I found out about the date on Wikipedia.

Gotcha, but yeah that also why I wondered. It's really odd Netflix are making us wait so long - usually between the batches or seasons of episodes the stretch isn't this long with some of their other produced shows. I wonder if they are being strategic in their promotion of the show and are trying to release these batches alongside the games/DLC content coming this year? (Although that would mean we'd be getting content near to Sonic Origins Plus)

Wikipedia is unfortunately not an accurate source of information. Netflix/Sonic socials would inform of a release date when they are ready to, aside from any insider leaks beforehand, it’s extremely unlikely that Wikipedia would know before any other announcement or insider leak buzz.

Check this out, everyone.

New screenshot as well!

I really want to see the Chaotix in this show. Perfect show to give the extended cast some screen time.

The Chaotix would be fun in this. I hope for Silver and Blaze in future episodes.

Finally!  We got something about this show!  Glad it's not premiering in December this time.

While I'm not sure about Silver getting in, despite how much I want him to. The Chaotix, they feel even more likely. And I'd just like to see some alternates for other characters like them, instead of the same 5-characters getting more variants.

But Blaze I feel is the unique one here, due to the separate dimensionality/reality. Only reason I'm saying that, is my theory of Blaze's world/dimension having it's own version of the Paradox Prism. But that's all I've really got to say as far as that goes.

[soncic]

i doubt any new characters are in. this show felt ok at best, but i feel didn’t have a great budget.

[Fastest Thing Alive]

Okay so I hasn't seen Prime yet so how do  you guys feel about it  as good as Aosth  and Satam  more closer to Underground and the Ova  or just as bad as X and Boom

It's interesting so far. I can't really say if it's better than Satam or Sonic X yet, but they do have some interesting ideas, like Sonic going to different dimensions.  There are some complaints against the show about how Sonic is being portrayed, but I honestly don't mind Sonic's personality in this series so far and I hope he improves later on.

[The Tenth Doctor]

The first episode was put up early on Youtube by Netflix and gotta say, the fight animation is pretty damn good!

[AstroSeedP]

Been loving Shadow in this show, for as little screen time he's had. Solid episode back.

BTW, I posted the rest of that leaked footage I shared a while back along with some episode titles for those interested:

[SonicLegends]

The fight was amazing and they truly have given Shadow justice. I will say one thing that may bother some people is that

Spoiler

Shadow saying "come at me bro" could sure be seen as out of character, but definitely have to disagree because I thought it made sense and was funny as a result (plus from how he delivered it) because if he had said that line without context then yeah would have been bad/out of character, but he says it out of Sonic trying to bait him and uses it later right back at him to openly mock lol.

so yeah got no complaints about Shadow's characterization here.

[MetalSkulkBane]

So the title of this episode could just be "Shadow is so friccin' cool"

Last season left it vague, but now we know for sure that this is fairly reasonable. Not 100%, he still wants to punch Sonic to calm himself, but I think I like that. I don't need him to be Sally-level of perfection, keeps him real you know? I complained about Sonic being an idiot, but it's a nice change of pace. It's kinda ironic comparing this to IDW relation, how different, yet similar they are. I mean, in the end, we all know Shadow will be wrong about Nine, but you can see his reasoning.
(Also, Sonic is visibly smarter in this episode. He has good reason to confuse Shadow for Shatter-variant but recognizes him using deduction. Well done.)

And yeah, Shadow is still very aggressive, but for a very good reason. And "aggressive for good reason" is basically Shadow's whole personality.

Fight? Chef's kiss. Again, they nailed Shadow's finesse, aggression, and deadliness. And rocket shoes! He's using his badass rocket shoes to propel himself. And it's great.

And the final piece to the ultimate puzzle is here

Dude. Got. Swagger.

YYYYYESSSS! The smug bastard we haven't seen since SA2 (maybe Heroes) is back. He's 90% serious but allows himself for juuuust a little showing off.

AND

IT'S

GLORIOUS

I don't even mind he's not going with Sonic. If he's too awesome to keep around all the time, sure, give him smaller screen time. This might be the best Shadow in decades. (All he needs is more emotional drama, like in SA2, 06, Battle. But 9/10 is still good).

 

The rest of the episode is good. There is maybe one meh joke, Cast "catchphrases" got over-repeated, but that's nothing.

The one and only thing that disappoints me is the future. We're now 90% sure there are only 3 (real) Shatter Spaces. That's the worst pick possible. Not 1 fully explored and complex World, not dozens of Endless Possibilities. Just a staggering number known as Three. Ehhh. I hope there is at least 1 more for Rouge. Or more Sonic characters like Chaotic or Cream (seriously doubt it though, on both fronts).

Wow that was actually pretty good. Also, elephant in the room, YAY SHADOW IS ACTUALLY COOL AGAIN. I still kind of hate the whole "Shadow hates working with Sonic" angle they seem to be going with, but it isn't as annoying as I thought it would be based off the trailer. Excited to see where this goes, wonder if we'll get some episodes of Shadow meeting the alt casts.

This seems to be a trend with Wildbrain, where the beginning of a show is incredibly weak but it eventually really picks up steam. Megaman Fully Charged was kind of like this as well.

[sonicclaasic]

What a great way to start season 2 episode 1. I just loved the Sonic & Shadow fight scenes here In this episode and at the end they are working together now as well to restore there world 🌎 back to normal which Is going to be really fun to watch In the coming episodes.

I love the humour the comedy the moments In this episode as well. Sonic Prime TV show has really grown on me now and just love watching It 😊 

I really hope 🤞 the series will come to Blu-ray which will hopefully It will when all episodes have been shown. I'm looking forward to the the next episodes In Season 2.

[antyep]

Isn’t this still the first season, though?

[Sega DogTagz]

Sonic's character came off sooooo much better in this episode. Probably because there wasn't much time for him to be s dunce between the brooding and the punching, but for whatever reason it worked. You felt bad for him and felt his desperation.

 

This batch of episodes is off to a strong start. Considering that there is an obvious solution to getting Shadow in and out of shatterspaces, we may be seeing a little more of the black blur, which is fine by me.

 

 

And since its the million dollar question now

Spoiler

Since Shadow got the slo-mo Prism blast-off how long till we start seeing Alt Shadows running around? I can only assume that's going to be the tease going into the final batch of episodes,

Yeah, throughout that last few minutes of the episode. I can definitely see Shadow getting out of Shatterspace.

Spoiler

As all he has to do is catch a ride on the Chaos Council's ship once it comes back through Shatterspace from Boscage Maze. Or some other ship of theirs that happen to come through elsewhere.

Spoiler

Something tells me the final battle will take place on the Grim Shatterspace

Despite there being nothing there, Sonic's gloves and shoes still transformed while he was there.
