As fast as a hedgehog, as intangible as a shadow, this episode we dive headfirst into the lore of Project Shadow and what it may mean for the third Sonic the Hedgehog movie. Warning, this episode contains spoilers for Sonic Adventure 2 and Shadow the Hedgehog, as well as maybe the third Sonic the Hedgehog movie. We'll see. Who is the most recognisable person you know?
Obama. Obama? Jesus Christ. Well, like, you know or you know?
Do I know them or do I know them? Yeah, like, Jesus in our heart. No, also there's another asterisk further here. No, as in, like, could call them and have them know who I am or have met in a non-public setting.
Or just know of them. I think they're both different questions. But we could let's say let's say no is it no of them. No is it no of Jesus Christ, Obama, Michael Jackson.
Because I was thinking also how do you describe them? Like, who's the most describable person as well? Think about it. Somebody had never seen Obama.
How would you describe Obama? Okay, that adds another layer to it. Okay. Okay.
I'm not going to do that. He is a very gracious looking man with duck skin, short hair, curly, graying, a very regal sort of aura about him with a very strong jaw and broad shoulders and I think I was the fuck up on. He does given the chance. No, I say the best most recognizable character that I could describe is Ronald McDonald.
Oh, that's pretty good. I think it's wreck. Okay, that just completely changes the fucking spirit of the question. No, I mean, I'm just introducing new characters.
It's like if you're gonna have sword fight and pull out a gun. It's still a fight. Like, just because I pull out a gun. You didn't bring a gun, you know, just because you don't know what I asked instead of sword fight.
It was a sword fight and then I pull out a strike. You've just changed the goal posts. What you're doing? Hey, if I win the games, the referee doesn't see.
I don't like you. Oh my god. If I move the goal posts and the ref doesn't see it. Operation sneaky beaver.
You know what? I've never once in my life thought more strongly than right now that Matt would make a great politician. Incredible. I enjoy the art of knowing I'm wrong and still debating on it.
No, exactly 100% by what I just said. I stand by it. I agree with that. I know I have annoyed people like thoroughly in the past for this.
But like, it's not that I actually want to annoy people. It's the fact that I can't stop myself. And it's the fact that I'm interested how people think and I want to know how they'll react. Is that psychotic?
No. Well, maybe. I want to push them to a point to make them see if what is, why do they think that? Like, even if I think they're right, I want to see why they think they're right.
You know what I mean? We're two different kinds of smart stupid because I just do it because it's funny. I stand by my dark white, white black proposition. I want to reveal why they like, why people think what they think, you know what I mean?
There's no reason other than I want to question it. Yeah. But I start this conversation. I think it's a degree of like social awareness of like not registering that the person's not interested in the conversation, but just but they must be interested in continuing to argue.
Yeah. Why would they? Well, they know. Just walk away.
Just walk away. Just talking to them because most of the time your friends don't want to walk away from you. I don't think I think that that's most of the time they don't want to just abandon you. But they have the option at any point during the argument.
Yes. Wait, I have the option to leave. Yeah. No, we love the doors guy.
We love the doors. We love the bottle. We love the bottle. Yeah.
He can't leave. Yeah. I do just think it's amusing, though. I was trying to pull you into another.
I was trying to pull you into it, but uh, we do have to. Yeah. But the reason I brought this up is because, um, guy, I was trying to pull you into argument that was pointless. No, I, I backed out of it.
No, you didn't. Jude is a very good person, but avoiding an argument. I know he's pretty good at that. The real politician is the British one.
He's actually pretty good at that. But the reason I say this is guy not experiencing something before you got sorry. You experienced. Well, you got here.
Well, you were sitting up, actually before we were sitting up, we saw one of the most indescribable situations. Oh, oh, there was a, oh a man. Hold on. Can I give you my line that I pulled immediately after this happened?
Uh huh. I stepped out of my car and I looked Matthew Doyle in the eyes and I said, there are some levels of swag that are unachievable by mortal men. Okay. So this guy riding down the middle of the street in, it's, oh, by the way, it's a hot downside, like 35 degrees and Celsius for Americans, which is hot and the air's stinking and this guy's in like a singlet shorts 86 degrees Fahrenheit and he's right now straight on a neuron, which is like an electric scooter and it's a dirty scooter.
Which makes you question, is it his? It has the breakdown as well. Is it his? Is it not?
It's questionable. But the reason it's so questionable is it his? Because he's got a, I'm going to describe as a trailer attached to the back with bags, a chair, it's a pram and a dog in the pram. He's looking back at quite careingly as this pit bull, little little pug pit bull, something like that, sitting there and halfway out.
He's simultaneously looked really good and really happy at the same time that dog. He was like very rigid, the dog's legs. It was like that. It was a bit, yeah.
I didn't even have a fucking trailer. Yeah. It was like a problem. It was a little one.
It was a pram. It was like a whole size, baby size dog. It was like a smaller pit bull. Some levels of sweat cannot be achieved by mortal men.
And I agree with that statement. It was just an amazing sight to see. And I think that was the really indescribable thing. But I really think, yeah, he was going at like an incredible speed, but like not in crazy speed.
You know what I mean? Yeah. Like fast, fasten you think a man on a line with a dog attached to the back would go, but like not crazy. It was also utterly fascinating talking about the speed of a man on a scooter with a dog.
And he was, you sound like someone, you know, when you see someone that like tries to write Tolkien, but they just don't and he was not traveling as fast as one would expect. And yet, he was still traveling faster than you would think. It was stronger than me. Nothing stronger than me.
But stronger than me and mortal around him. Speaking of stronger than me and mortal swag and attended by humans and whatever the fuck else we were talking about in this episode, we're going to be discussing what happens in the third Sonic the hedgehog movie of the Sonic hedgehog cinematic universe. Part two to a previous episode. I gave you speed and you didn't use it.
No, I'll set it and give him speed. Because I woke up the studio like once. It was no kind of dog. We said things happened before you got here.
In the last episode, we discussed the previous two movies on the TV show on the law of a particular cinematic universe. But what can we expect from the new movie? In case you haven't listened to the previous episode, I'm going to do a one paragraph rundown of the whole thing. Oh, God, here we go.
In this canon, Sonic is an alien from the planet of Mobius who was chased to Earth after an echidna tried murder his guardian long claw to last the owls. Sonic was given a map to the master emerald, which Sonic tracked down the master emerald alongside big quotes, tales and another alien from space as well as Knuckles, the last of your four mentioned kidney tribes during all of this Dr. Robotnik, Ne Eggman, an independent contractor from the US government with a master of engineering science as well as an IQ around 300 repeatedly tried to capture cabbage, capture sonic and the master emerald to harness their chaos energy. A mysterious force tied somehow to their planet, which Sonic came from, which can enhance the user with a solid superpowered ability ranging from speed to techno-mancy to liberal reality manipulation slash chili dog-summing powers.
We ended the last movie with Sonic, Tails and Knuckles in possession of the master emerald vowing to never let it be used again and Dr. Eggman, which I'll be referring to him as the remainder of the episode for reasons that we clear soon, was crushed, except no, he escaped somehow after having his indestructible chaos emerald powered mech destroyed by Knuckles punching it. Okay, good? Any questions?
So many. So go on then. So when was the bit when Tails hit Knuckles with a car again? Start a second movie.
Yeah, cool. Awesome. Well, like 10 minutes in a second. Fantastic.
Awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Awesome.
Why? Why? Why any of it? Yeah.
That's honestly my favorite takeaway from that last episode that we've got these goofy cartoonish creation creatures, and one of them just hits the other with a car. I love that so much. I love it. It's great.
Everything is that Knuckles went on a road trip to go bowling. That was a TV show too. Again, very good. No, to be fair Knuckles went to go and beat up a guy called the buyer who was collecting things.
I think he works for gun. I didn't go super deep into the TV show. What the time stand for again? The Guardians of the Guardian units of nations, despite the fact that it's an American anti-Alien force.
Nations, yeah. Nations. All the nations of American organizations together under one flag of America. The Great United Nuns.
That's what gun stands for. That's good. Thank you. Talk to me like those seconds.
Think of it. Wow, Matthew, you're so smart. You're like 300 IQ. Well done.
I don't appreciate when you're condescending, dude. You're British X-O-X for worse. I wasn't even trying to be condescending, though. Feeling good about this movie and the preset things, we actually will resume for a brief moment at the end of the second movie in a part that I omitted from my previous descriptions.
At the end of the movie, we hear an agent of gun, the Guardian units of nations, as mentioned, specifically just to mention again, a force that is dedicated to defending the Earth from aliens, which is again a job they're really bad at. A lot of aliens. Mention's quote. Let's get some quotes.
Let's get some quotes. Let's get the boys quoting. In fact, I have a set of quotes. One of you will get to be a hench person talking to their commander and the other gets a single epic line.
So that's the commander. Would you like to be the commander, dude? I can't say it yet. It's not a fault.
Yeah, I can be. I'm happy to be. Can I read that over? I was going to say, do you want to be the epic commander, mind?
Yeah, go for it. You read the book. You go for it. I'll do the weekly voice.
When we were wiping Robotnik off our database, we found something, a file buried deep in our system, and dating back over 50 years, co-ordinate to a secret research facility. It was a black site. Someone worked very hard to keep this hidden. My god, Projekt Shadow.
Bum, bum, bum. Why don't you get more and more British? It's repeatedly happening today. It is very fucking warm in Melbourne, as said.
And we're all good. It makes me delusional. Therefore, I revert back to natural state. Some people revert back to the natural state of monkey.
I revert back to my natural state. That's true. Same thing, right? Natural habitat.
Yeah, exactly. As the third movie, oh, Project Shadow, as it pans down over a opening eyes of Shadow the Hedgehog, which we'll get into a little bit more about him in a bit. As the third movie is not out, yes, coming out December 10th, I think. We have a secret copy that we've been watched.
Kind of. No. We will be instead focusing on what we know from the games. So we're going to pivot here.
Again, this is why this episode is probably able to be listened to, not alongside the previous one. This is me giving you an intro to the third movie. As previously, we've seen that the writers for these movies are, if not copying, then at least strongly paralleling the canon of the games. The majority of the canon for Project Shadow takes place in the Boto 3D Sonic games, Sonic Adventure 2, as well as its sequel or spinoff shadow, the Hedgehog.
Together, these games will give us the best possible picture we can have of the original Project Shadow and what is likely in store for us for the third movie. We once again dive into the backstory. Shadow has a gun modern day. So yeah, let's say 1970 effectively, but this seems like 70s technology.
Specifically, actually, the Burnal Sphere thing is, I'm sure you guys as being the fucking dorks we all are, are aware of the concept for a large space colony where it's like the rotating disc where you kind of have the inside is the part you live on and it rotates the stick to the outside. That was actually created by John, concept created by John Desmond Burnal in 1929. Was the concept for that one? Yeah, sure.
I don't know if that's in that. We'll find out. One day we'll find out. One day we'll take on that fucking creature.
Hello. Join our Patreon and you can pay for us. Get out of here, you shill. Sorry for promoting our content.
Waste and support us. Seriously, yeah, do we have a little people? Yeah. As a quick as I, Robotnik was not the only relative of Eggman's aboard the Space Station Arc.
His cousin and Gerald Granddaughter, Maria Robotnik, was also there. She was taken aboard the station by Gerald, much to the protest of her family, apparently, as she has a rare condition called neuroimmuned deficiency syndrome, which leaves her extremely vulnerable to disease, as well as with an often frail and failing body. She has good days and bad days with the worst of her condition, leaving her unable to move, eat, or think clearly the presence on the arc, the reason for it, is twofold. The pristine conditions mean that she's extremely unlikely to be exposed to disease, as well as the fact that the artificial gravity is slightly lower than that on Earth, which means that her physical weakness and the inflammation that comes along with it is more manageable.
So actually, pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. These actually, he may have kidnapped her, but his intentions were good.
Yeah, like don't kidnap people's children, but I'll say this. He didn't strictly, we're getting to where I get the source in a minute, but he didn't strictly kidnap her. It's just said that the family protested and kind of had issue and later on they do definitely demand her back and he doesn't give her back. So at that point, I think it's kidnapping.
Also debatable. Technically, the only sighted age we get is correct. I'm not sure if this is kerems, but I think it's 10 to 12, but realistically looking at more common head cannons people usually say 16 to 16, but somewhere in that range, 10 to 15 to 16. Okay.
The only like, okay, the only can we have is not for this game, which Maria is 10. So we don't know if that's the correct one, but it's the only sighted age that we have her at near anyway, not known, child. Not old, definitely not at all, definitely not old enough to make her own decisions. But with the factors of the in reduced gravity and the extreme sanitaryness of the station, she's able to lead a relatively normal life, although often still quite physically weak, having shortness of breath and fainting when over exerted.
While the arc colony was known to the public, the lab sequestered inside was not being an isolated black-side repressor, a botnik and his team to work on top secret projects. Among the initial inventions used for the arc, we had gravity control switches, which is saying the Earth gravity on the station, as also being being able to be turned off at will. Defense units being shield protectors that can protect the station and other smaller inventions that are kind of standard sci-fi shit like moving platforms, laser grids for protecting on mid, all the materials. The moving platforms are actually interesting because they're like actually controllable things.
It's like a little cart thing. So it is more complicated than that in the game than the movie. It's not just like the Hogwarts dares, just a safety hazard. No, I haven't played the games, maybe.
In the games, yes, in the law, no, maybe. So with these laser grids and gun turrets and other things, I, can you say now, hold on, why would they need such intense security measures for this particular little space guy? Why do they need such intense security measures for this theory? Do the question I mentioned the government, Blackside Jude?
Pay attention inside this top secret lab, Grandpa, Robotnik, and his goons worked on some more dangerous pursuits, which, side note, I saw this in the Tubal Posty, I'm stealing this joke, but also very funny, hench people are ruined, can't use goon, can't use minion, like what's, it's hench people at this point, there's no other option. That's a really good point. Yeah, I fuck, I miss when goons was like, not what it is. Where the goons?
It don't be goonin, you know. Yeah, it's ruined, it's gone. It's done, Falcone, he's goons. Yeah, I'm goon as best I can.
It's ruined, but like hench, men sounds like, it sounds like a real big insult. Like, that doesn't sound like a real thing. Exactly, like, I don't know, goons has more of like a hench people sounds like they're smart goons, sounds like they're muscle, you know. Yeah, and interesting, I think they're like gooners like my boys, my goons, whereas like hench people like they're like just workers, you know.
Matthew, are you saying that they're your goon squad? My gooners, absolutely. I've really really been introduced to the term gooner, and like gooning and goon recently, in terms of the way you guys are referring to it right now. Every day.
I find out that Jude is an older man. He's never had any drinks before today, he's only just finding out about goon. He's new fangled technology, these kids in the technology. He's kid's in the air.
Gooning. Okay, Joe Biden. You know, my favorite reel that I just am relating to way too much these days, it's like the one of Joe Biden walking away and then he like looks over his shoulder and is just like, you know. Because I'm big-nawed.
Evil Joe. What is it? Dark Brandon. I was like, I feel like, you would relate to, I was in the sea today and there was these people doing like a TikTok dance, like a dancing in the middle of the place.
And I just see two old people, a couple of people look over and they're like, what are they doing? And it's like, must be in a sense on a TikTok. Like, yeah, man, that's what I thought. That is me.
That was me on my lunch break. Fair warning slash citation, a lot of context for the government black side and the things that they're getting up to come from the 2005 game Sonic the Hedgehog, because there's a journal in that game that we use, but it's happening during the events of, well, not during the events of Sonic Adventure 2, but other prequel to a lot of stuff in Sonic Adventure 2. It's just me writing the script and figuring out which it's from, because they, it's one of the annoying things where people put things in the wiki and then don't cite them properly. And it's like, oh, I now need to go and find out where the fuck this is from.
I'll be honest, I've given up on that. Sometimes I look and see like, it's with Marvel and something like this, like a billion different issues. Sometimes I go, oh, maybe I should go and see if that's an unreal thing. But sometimes I accept it.
That's fair, but also I like it when I find something that's wrong, because then I feel smart. And that's nothing against Wikipedia's Godspeed, absolute soldiers. There are some books I've read that are the wiki, I'm like, that's not right. I read that book.
I just read that book. I feel like I like feeling smart. I feel like like a podcast has a reason to listen to it. Question though, 10,000 people, it's just the general public living can buy a place on this place.
Non-specific. It's the ones who we know are Gerald Robotnik, Maria Robotnik, Gerald Robotnik's team. That's excellent. There's like 50 people there.
I don't know is the answer. I don't think it's relevant to anything at any point. The only thing is whether it does make quite the events in the bit of the future of the timeline a little bit worse. Just 10,000 people could say it.
That's what I was thinking. Able to sustain. Yeah. Doesn't mean that they live there.
I'm not sure. This is like imagining if Elon was actually smart. Jesus. The US president asked the...
Do you insult our doge like that? Jesus. The US president had asked Professor Robotnik, the greatest scientist available to them at the time to investigate the possibility of creating a cure to death, to achieve immortality in exchange for getting it gun his anti-space group to stop asking him for weapons. Real plot point.
So he goes, Mr. Bradham, stop sending gun after me. I love you. You want my day?
Gun gave them a lot of the money to build the arc. Gun then went, we paid a bunch of money for you to get a floating super cool space lab. Honestly, give us weapons. And your botnik then, directs quote, pulls his clout to talk to the president's real quote.
Multiple times in Robotnik's journal does he say clout. And I get another word just a ruin for me. My man's got clout. My man has fat clout.
My man's got real room. Because it's a social media thing now. Chapped. The clout chases are like people who do dumb shit on social media.
Ten million followers. Yeah. Exactly. That's what clout means to me now.
That's fair. Yeah. So clout in this term where he's just an influential person. I'm just imagining Eggman doing TikToks.
Exactly where I'm at. Exactly where I'm at. Hey guys, I'm up in the space station. Robotnik, a man of morals, initially declined this request to invent some mortality, citing that he aims to improve life, not pervert it, and saying that the project was laughable as intangible as a shadow.
However, interestingly, he and his team had also managed to acquire a chaos emerald recently, which the games had a similarish origin to the movie, except the legendary home to the emeralds was not Mobius, but Angel Island, which is an ancient place that was found by Professor Robotnik during an archaeological dig, because not only is he a goated scientist and engineer, he's also really good at archaeology, which apparently one of his sons took after him. We don't really have any details about him. Just know one of them's archaeologists. One of them's archaeologists.
Goated. He also is especially goated because he finds this location for a floating island powered by an ancient relic, and he's like, I was the only one who went there. I dare not disturb this sacred place. And it's like, that's pretty good.
For what I've forgotten to put in, Gerald Robotnik as far as we can see for a lot of the stuff he does, he works for some very shady people. He isn't a bad person. It's just the shady people are the ones who have the most money. Yeah, it seems like when you have a government job and you're doing research on cancer research, you're getting subsidized by the government.
Sometimes the government, there's a lot of bad things with research, but it's where the money is. In the game, Professor Robotnik states that the emerald has some effect on space time, bending reality for one's will. Imagine the possibilities. So that's the answer to what the chaos emeralds are.
Not radioactive or nuclear, the Ben space time space time space. So they're gravity. What do you mean? No space time.
That's different. Space time is just partially gravity. You're not wrong. They're just two dimensions, which gravity would gravity warp space time.
I feel like space time is one of those McGuffin terms that writers love to use when they just want to make thing thing. Einstein would like a fucking word with you, dog. No, but they don't use it right. I sound like a word with them.
That's true. I'm saying the ride is easy for them. Yeah, it sounds it sounds smart. It sounds like all that makes sense.
People aren't gonna question that much. But it's like a bullshits. It's like Doctor Who when the doctor, Doctor, Doctor, talk to spunky young companion. All space time is at risk.
This machine warps the space time. The space time's in trouble. Space time. You know what I mean?
What is it? The reverse the polarity of the electrons or what? Reverse the polarity of the schblink to go through the schlong. Yeah, what the fuck they do in Star Trek?
It's magic. Star Trek is just magic. They talk about big words. Reverse the direction of the space time.
The space of the polarity of the schblink to go through the schlong. That's what I say. Yeah. To fix the space time.
Makes sense to me. Eventually, he is pested enough that he gives into the president's request, realizing that while he works on a cure for death, he can also quietly use some of that research to find a cure for Maria's disease. Technically, this happens to the side. No, no.
Absolutely. Because he's essentially telling the president, yeah, give me money for that research. And then he's going, I could probably use this to try and help her disease. If I'm working on regeneration, I'm working on...
He does see a guy who would kidnap out of malice. I would put him at neutral good. He very much does a lot of stuff. He falls in line because he has to, but he does his own shit because he wants to...
He's a complicated guy. He's got his own agenda. He's trying to enact. But at the end of the day, he's a selfless guy trying to protect someone or fix something.
He's someone who has a lot of demands placed upon him that a vague, he then interprets them in a way that can be useful to humanity. He's the way that I see it. And there will be more examples this soon. Can I define something quickly?
Go for it. When you say cure death, there's two ways to do that. One, cure aging or to make someone invincible. Which one are we going for?
We get to that in a bit. But my understanding of what they were going for is stopping aging. I believe I'm not certain on that one. That makes more sense.
It's more realistic. But they wanted not to die. It was a cure to death. So it's not like making invulnerable.
Like, I'll never get punched enough that I'll die. But just like, can't die of old age. You won't break down. You'll stay at time.
That's technically not true. It doesn't matter. I don't know what that we got for. I think the president had no fucking idea what he was talking about.
He just went, he just went, he was like, oh yeah, that guy's a smart guy. I like you to cure death for me. No more. No more death.
Exactly. These the doctors saying these cigarettes are going to kill me. Well, I want you to cure death. I want you to kill death before these cigarettes.
Kill me. Can you do that, bud? I will say that we don't see the president that asked for a bot named to do this. We do see the president.
He's a friend of mine, some of the cigarettes. Yeah, exactly. No, because we just don't see him. But like the later one who shows up is the most art department for this video game, give me a president.
If you Google president, a Sonic Adventure 2, you will see the most president ass modeled man of all time. In fact, I'll give you a quick moment to do that so we may in fact describe him to the audience. Oh my god. Here's like three pixels though.
I mean, it's Sonic Adventure 2. It was on the Dreamcast. I was on his head a little wider. Maybe we just like a Dorito body, almost like an hourglass figure with just very sharp triangular shoulders going down into his waist where it thickens out a bit more again.
And then these two big pencil legs. He's wearing a bright blue suit with a bright red tie. His face looks like it's sharp enough to be a nutcracker. And he's got this little short cut of brown hair.
I think Jude wants to fuck the president. Holy shit. I don't want to fuck this. I don't want to fuck this.
That was crazy. I don't want to fuck this. I was like, I expected to be a little white, like a wider hair. But maybe that's just out of the time we live in the time we live in the president is getting older.
Didn't used to be this old. No, certainly not. At some point after the initial request, anywhere from four months to three years, depending on how often Robotnik is making diary entries because it goes from entry three, eight, nine is when he's initially asked to five, one, five. So if he's making one a day, it's four months if he's making one a week, it's three years.
So variable. He begins work on Project Shadow. However, because he's left it so long, Gunn, who's also again, provided most of the funds for the station, have now begun demanding weapons from him. He does quickly whip something up for him because luckily, weapons easier to make than immortality, particularly making a way to remotely puppet water into, I think it says like shapes.
So it's basically an ability to manipulate water from afar. He secretly wants to use this to help flood victims because he says, what if you could turn the tsunami back to help the victims? Which bad idea, just stop the fucking water. It's a tsunami.
You should just be able to insert the remote control water thing and just stop it. But that's fine. Turn it around. Indeed.
Just turn it around. But also again, too little too late. You're making fucking weapons for these guys. They're going to remote assassinate someone who's standing by the president standing by the ocean.
What do you mean? You can trust the US government. It's not the US government. It's the US government.
Sure. United Federation. Sure. With the president who lives in the White House.
As a side note and a small route hole, the idea for the remote water was inspired by chaos, a boss in Sonic Adventure One, where this particular boss meta was created to show off the new 3D graphics technology. So they just made a boss that was fully made out of water. He is a mutant chow, which a chow is a sort of fairy thing that appears in a lot of Sonic games. It's like a little blue fairy thing.
What the fuck are they from? What do they come to the law? A lot of people love chows, specifically one of the VP of Sonic development said that the most requested feature for one of their future games was at the time was a chow garden because it's essentially if you guys have had like what do they put puffles in Club Penguin or any of those fucking Roblox games where you grind it out of pet or whatever, any of that sort of stuff. That's what chow guns are.
So it's like a little peaceful play time thing that you do on the side times of other movies. Not that we've seen. No. Good question.
They might be one of the flashbacks I don't remember. But specifically chows are like very, very popular thing. They're in the hub world that you go between during like big Sonic games where you've got like a world thing, you return to the hub. It's the chow garden.
You play with the chow and you feed them and then you go and kill some of the gun. So again, chaos was a mutant chow. He was the protector of some normal chow and the sort of area they're in, but he was revered as an immortal deity of sort who could control water to defend their home. To cut a long story short and to get to the point of why I'm talking about this guy, I saw a thing in the wiki page which reads has follows.
In recent times he was released by Dr. Eggman for a plot to conquer the world because he kind of went evil because of Eggman. Despite initial cooperation though, he eventually revolted and tried to destroy the world. Fortunately, he was soon calmed by Sonic and departed for heaven in peace.
Did Sonic fucking kill him? I don't know. But heaven is a direct quote from again the VP from Takashi is his is his is his gut. Did Sonic fucking kill him?
He was the VP of no I'm more concerned because previous episode I think you asked about Christmas Island where the Catholicism just in the sonic world. I count this as another vote to yes. Heaven's real. Heaven is real.
Heaven is real. And chaos has peacefully gone there. And it's and it's creepy. Jesus Christ has been to every planet.
Yeah, that checks. Also another side note the chaos is one of the one of the nicknames that elicited his big grip. Right Nick now. That's a project show.
Making progress Gerald and his team developed chaos drives away to siphon energy from the chaos emerald and to use it on other things. It was initially designed to be directed directly applied to living tissue that was deemed too harsh. In the meantime, Eggman used these to give to gun as essentially like super nuclear batteries because it's chaos energy. It's literally reality warping.
And they put it in tarts. Why? Because they're goated and because gun has no fucking idea what they're doing. It's the US government.
They don't know how to do anything else than gun. I always love the girl. When we think about these and we go like, you know, from a global objective subjective point of view, whatever you want to say of like ha ha, meme of American big gun man, whatever. I also love can wait.
Sonic, Sega, Japanese. They are Japanese. Cool. I love that it's also from like a Japanese second half of 20th century.
One of you have going, I love that. They literally called their company gun. Right? It's on brand.
It's not a company. It's a branch of the US government. It's on brand. It's on brand.
It's on brand. It's on brand. They do eventually figure out that the chaos drives can be applied to living tissue specifically, one with enhanced regeneration power as well as being quote a manageable size. Wolverine salamanders.
Oh, okay. They found Wolverine. Project this is Project X. Yeah, sure.
Why not? The bio lizard is the first version of Project Shadow being a mutated mass that was apparently once a salamander. This creature is infused with chaos drives and it's accelerated growth reaches a point where it cannot live without life support. Oh, oh god.
Gerald horrified what he has made. He hides the creature deep inside the arc promising to keep it alive and as comfortable as he can until he finds the answers he needs. What the fuck? So pretty bad.
What have you googled there? It's not a salamander. If you googled bio lizard, you get a more exact example of what this thing ends up looking like. I think I had a picture of this.
What the fuck? Yeah. That was like the saddest dinosaur I've ever seen in my life. It does look like a bit of a sad dinosaur.
I think that's from the TV show on the later versions. The one on the very top first image is the one from Sonic Adventure 2. That's so sad. Oh god.
Why is he on the number of tricks on his back? That's the life support. That's the chaos drives that are infused to keep him from dying because he's no longer a salamander. In attempting to do great, we fail to do good.
You know what I mean? We will move forward a bit now as Professor Robot next slowly degrades, trying desperately to get his experiment to work. His experiments have continued to fail and his bosses at gun and the president have both demand results. This is why you don't get funding from gun.
Probably. He's, don't worry. Gerald's decisions, bad decisions do not end here. No.
Under this stress, Robotnik would find help from an unlikely place. A comet on a 50 year cycle coming past his planet, which housed an alien named Black Doom. I do not know whether they had that name before, but they have that name now. Gerald?
Don't. Anything that has the name Doom in it is not a thing you want to make a deal with. But imagine you just like, you bring that to the board meeting. You're just like, you walk in there, guys.
Hey, guys, I have a solution. There's my friend. His name is Black Doom. He's going to be the solution of all our problems.
I don't know if that's a sound investment. Well, I think that you haven't given Black Doom a fair chance. Honestly, I'll say this pretty racist. You should give Black Doom a try.
I think you should. I'll also be, I'll also clarify this. Black Doom does not donate money. That's crazy, man.
He donates sex. Black is the audience. Why is that hot? That is not hot.
He is like hands. He looks so fucking evil. Yeah, it's like the most evil looking thing. He's got big spikes coming out of him.
He's got big scary hands. He's wearing a cloak of dementia and like some torture chambers. Also, he's got no legs. Yeah, Eggman take his legs.
Evil? Is it evil to have no legs, Matthew? Yeah, fuck you. The Black Arms, Black Doom's Legion on his Black Comet secretly their ship has been passing by the planet, which is referred to in the wiki pages as Earth.
It's Sonic's planet. I'm going to refer to it as Earth because it's easier. Technically not Earth, Earth. It's an Earth.
It's made of Earth. Oh, but the way we going isn't the Eggman thing over Earth? I said Earth there again. This is why I'm clarifying.
It's referred to as Earth in the Thing. If you like click any of the links on the wiki, it takes you back to the article titled Sonics Planet. So I think that it changes a bunch of times because technically Sonics Planet in the movies is Mobius, but also it's Earth. But also there's a bunch of different canon versions.
In the movie lore, it's it will be Earth. Yes, for all intents and purposes, it's Earth, especially because Eggman's grandfather is here. Eggman is on Earth. Yeah, therefore, it should make sense.
Therefore, it should be Earth in the context of what. So when when this happens in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, it will be Earth. Yeah, that makes sense. When it happens in Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
What if it's not Earth? It would be a first because the guy's never been wrong. I mean, you're going to just fuck off. Damn.
Also, damn. Black Doom got some bling. Holy shit. He's bling the fuck out.
Continuing. Black Doom and his Legion the Black Arm on the Black Comet their ship has been passing the Earth for thousands of years. We can't just add Black to everything and make it like sound like Darkens Gary. Black Doom has despised humanity for their pettiness and greed, observing from afar, apparently.
Holy shit, Basing. He has long wanted to destroy the human race, but has not been able to, either because A, in English translation, Earth's atmosphere, or B, in the Japanese translation, because he can't steal the ship because it's a comet. That's pretty funny. That's way funny.
He's just sucking all the way around the flight. I'm not fucking with you. These guys are like powerful. They are powerful creatures once you come upon them.
But the idea of this like evil bunch of guys and they're just on the planet like, I'm going to get you one day. They went over the cycle to link up. Exactly. It's like, don't matter how strong you are.
You can't steer a comet. Hey, man. You're going to be pretty fucking strong. Do I have Johnson couldn't steer a comet?
Yeah, exactly. I think he could. Oh, I think he did hold that helicopter down. He did hold that helicopter down.
I'm talking about. I'm talking about. Hobson Hobson Shore, baby. That's too fast and furious movie of all time.
He also got hit by a fucking bullet full charge in Red Notice. Like walked it off. Have you also seen Red Notice? Yeah.
Is it twice? What the fuck is wrong with you? And I'm the one who has the rep of seeing shit movies? What are you on?
That box? That movie was $250 million to make and made $59 million at box office. You've seen it twice. Easy seen it.
Easy in Gemma, saw it together. They saw it together. And they told me we have to see it together. I think so.
And also they said it was good. Yeah, it's not. It's the one of the most. I think twice then.
That's the one of the most. I think I sat down. My friend was watching it. I couldn't convince him to turn it off.
So I just sat down and watched it. It's a new movie. They just come out. It's in cinemas.
That's Red One. That's not Red Notice. Oh, we're done. We're stupid.
Dwayne the Rock Johnson movie with the Red Red in the title, man. Give me a break. Give me a break. Come on.
They're like 12 of them. Yeah, exactly. Also, but Red Notice is like a high smooth. That's the most formula that I can move.
