[up]

I'm thinking the same thing.

I also never gave much thought to exactly who built the shrine (the Echidna's didn't, since it predated them), and possibly where the Master Emerald came from. This may be a new hook for Knuckles as a character, since he's so tightly tied to the Master Emerald and the Island.

Finally, after 24 years, Sonic Adventure got a sequel.

Anyone else notice that Knuckles seemed really confused by being teleported, even though earlier in the short he used a teleporter to move around the Sky Sanctuary? I know it's obviously a different kind of teleporter, but still.

So it's been retconned that that the Chao weren't killed by the echidnas

It's X's no one died during Perfect Chaos' rampage all over again.

They weren't moving in the flashbacks. That's a good indicator.

If the Chao were actually conscious during the echidnas' raid, that puts Chaos' actions in an even worse light. lol

Not really? The Echidnas hurt the chao and that caused Chaos to rage out. Its not that complicated given Chaos to be a normal chao.

This is literally Children writing 101.

Characters not moving in an SA1 cutscene?

Especially since the Chao, unlike every other character, weren't moving with preset stock animations.

Just watched it and holy cow, this is seriously my jam. Like, there's a lot to pick at.

  • Using flashbacks from Sonic Adventure and heavily implying (if not outright showing) that Tikal and Chaos (why else was that dripping water doing some rewind thing?) are still somewhat around really hits this Sonic Adventure veteran in the feels.
  • Speaking of Sonic Adventure 1, CHAO! So many! grin
  • Seriously suggesting that Angel Island and the Master Emerald originated from the Starfall Islands really hits my continuity-and-lore-building bone in the right places!
  • I knew Powerhouse Animation from Netflix's Castlevania series (and the cutscenes from Sonic Origins, but I haven't fully seen those yet) and man, their energy works really well here, especially when Knuckles fights the I-forget-whaat-they're-called. And it's always great Knuckles the Badass in action.
  • Knuckles freaking out about Sage. Is there something bigger going on there?
  • I admit Dave Mitchell might not be Travis Willingham, but I guess it's a matter of growing into the role more. He's acceptable.
  • Tyson Hesse didn't just work on the short, he directed it! What a gigachad! grin

Wouldn't you start freaking out if you started to get teleported somewhere without you knowing about it?

Huh? I don't see anything in the short that contradicts the echidnas killing Chao in the past.

Huh. Sage keeps telling Sonic to leave, but when Knuckles flat out says he wants to go back home, she imprisons him instead.

What's up with that?

Also, we get a familiar musical sting while Knuckles is exploring Angel Island:

Good old Sky Sanctuary.

Now if only we could get Doomsday Zone back.

But I'm guessing that one's tied into the rights issues for Sonic 3 and Knuckles.
