2023-11-30 02:43:53 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire' and 'Sonic 3' are lighting up the internet.

The hype in the Monsterverse with 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire' is real! The saga is taking an epic turn, with rumors about the return of Mothra and more. Interesting fact: Legendary Pictures is at the helm, not Warner Bros, and it might shift to Sony! Plus, the poster is dropping jaws, breaking away from the monotony .

Shifting gears: Today, the first image of 'Sonic 3' was released, and the mystery of how Shadow, the antihero hedgehog, will be portrayed has sparked great anticipation. In the video game, Shadow stood out for his use of weapons and a darker tone, somewhat unusual for characters in this universe.

Since 'Sonic 3' will be a family movie, I wonder: Will they maintain Shadow's distinctive trait, or adapt his character for a broader audience? This adaptation is crucial for fans. We're curious to see how his original essence will be balanced with the overall tone of the movie. Open / Comment
