Some thoughts on how “Chip n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers” were able to use Sonic for the movie without breaking some copyright law:
1)Protected by fair use since it’s a parody. It’s still Sonic, but it’s a heavily exaggerated version of the character for comedic effect. That’s how we have movies like “Scary Movie” or how movies like “Wayne’s World’ can include characters from other movies (the T-1000 cameo scene).
2)Akiva Schaffer mentioned that he was able to use non-Disney characters because Disney was able to get approval from the original companies. The caveat was that the movie won’t make fun of the non-Disney characters. Now, yes, the joke is that Ugly Sonic looks terrible. But based on his scenes, Ugly Sonic is more mocking the reaction to him rather than just him being ugly.
What I mean is that Ugly Sonic is aware that he doesn’t look great, but he’s generally upbeat about his life and actually ends up helping Chip and Dale save the day. As some people have put it, the movie “redeemed” Ugly Sonic by making him this chill, lovable guy who feels unfairly ostracized by society. So it’s not punching down on Ugly Sonic, but hitting back at the public that rejected the original design.
Based on that, I can see Paramount and SEGA approving the use of Ugly Sonic.
anyone gonna mention that maddie’s outfit for the climax of sonic 1 was a tank the same color as tails and her outfit for the climax of sonic 2 was black and red. is this on purpose why is her clothing a prophet

THE GIRL IS A DAMN PROPHET, WHERE IS HE APOLLO GENES?
it could be an issue if both sonic 2 andsonic 3 have the plot of “edgy red rival character shows up wanting to murder sonic and is tricked into working with eggman.” in order to differentiate between the two films, the difference between 2and3 is that in 3, sonic is going to be openly and unabashedly in love with shadow the entire time
“Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has earned $71M in the film’s domestic box office opening weekend. It is the biggest domestic opening ever for a video game adaption.”

You cant tell me the owls didn’t see the irony in taking the master emerald from the echidna because “no one should possess such power”, then proceeding to hide it in a place only they knew. basically the fantasy equivalent of “no one should have this much money, so let me put it away safely in my Swiss bank account.”
I love how I’m mutating everyone’s backstories into these weird dark things and Tails just gets to ride with the Guardians with a big brother/parental figure who’d murder anyone who called Tails a freak and teaches him how to build guns and starship engines and every reader who knows me at all is NOT GOING TO TRUST THIS
Gamora WOULD have grabbed Knuckles at some point and just bolted, except as among the universe’s greatest experts on the Master Emerald, Knuckles is literally the most valuable thing Thanos has, so he would chase them both to the end of the universe and Knuckles doesn’t deserve that
