Liked Sonic the Hedgehog 2 but Sonic 3's future uncertain
3 years ago
I liked Sonic 2, though it seemed a bit sillier than the original. I didn't quite get that wedding scene with undercover Guardian Units of Nations and what that was about.
Robotnik's survival at the ending was ambiguous (if Stone survived and they couldn't find a body, it's likely he did.) However, that comes to the troubling future news. According to Wikipedia, Jim Carrey, who played Robotnik, is thinking of retiring from acting. According to Wikipedia, if he does, they won't recast his character, meaning that Robotnik would be written out of future sequels altogether.
However, I'm not sure who else could be a major antagonist for Sonic (surely Robotnik's grandfather, who created Shadow in the Sonic regular stories, and whose creation Shadow, is confirmed for Sonic 3, would be dead by now.)
If they remove Robtnik, my concern is that the whole series might fall apart.
