The first one is a genuinely good time. Carrey spends the entire film chewing on the scenery. I haven't seen any of the others so can't comment on them.
Mix of a good paycheck and him finding the role fun to play. Probably helps that Robotnik/Eggman is an evolving character over the course of the movies so each movie he gets to play it in a new way instead of just rehashing the exact same character over and over, which he doesn't like doing.
If it was just money he would have done lots of movies before. He found something in it that he likes. He invests nearly all the money he makes, and lives off the interest. That is not a person that would just do something for the money.
He's certainly at that point where he can just do the things he wants to do. He doesn't HAVE to do movies, but i'm glad he does some, i'll always enjoy him in basically everything he does. From I love you phillip morris and Eternal sunshine to Fun with Dick and Jane and Liar Liar
I ultimately decided to see the Sonic movies specifically due to overhearing Jim Carrey's Eggman while cleaning up after it for work. I'm not even that big into the Sonic scene otherwise, I only played one of the old GBA games as a kid.
That's just my point. We have had plenty of it and rehashing the whole thing out in this series of movies seems like it will drag on too long and become stale, like Marvel is getting with superhero movies. I think 3 total was good, but I think the story will run dry on its current course.
Dude basically has free creative license to do whatever he wants as long as he keeps it PG and gets paid $12 mil per appearance. Sounds like a sweet gig.
Same same as someone who grew up with his movies and Robin Williams among other movie actors were surrogate father figures to me. I would hate to see him suffer.
The dude makes children’s movies. He’s basically a rodeo Clown. I don’t criticize a Rodeo Clowns performance because I recognize the performance isn’t intended for me.
Murdered a woman by getting her illegal drugs. Good evidence that he gave her STD’s then gaslit her about it. They settled that out of court. He claims it was a shakedown.
Then he said this cringey creepy shit about her after she died-
“"a truly kind and delicate Irish flower, too sensitive for this soil, to whom loving and being loved was all that sparkled.””
Took money to make movies, then shit talked said movies.
Einhorn a Superior in Aces line of work forced themself upon Ace thus committing sexual assault. He then later expressed comedic disgust over the nature of the sexual assault. Also a trans dressing person was was the perpetrator of the sexual assault, also also they were a murderer. FFS this media is a product of its time
As if that works, did you not see what happened to flat earthers who traveled to the antarctic,live streamed in mutiple angles and all their followers turned on them on a dime, calling them a shill and faking it.
Shadow was with him and he can teleport. Easy explanation is that Shadow just teleported them away from the explosion, that’s my guess. 2nd guess is the cloning thing.
Eggman just survives everything. He's the original "somehow Palpatine returned". Sent crashing into a pit at the end of the very end of the first sonic game, dropped into his own exploding fortress in sonic spinball, got pulled into a black hole at the end of colors, was stranded outside time and space at the end of generations
I mean, there was a whole thing in the comics where he died after being defeated and then a satalite released a clone with uploading his memories but the memories only partly uploaded so released a kindly old tinkerer type eggman into a small village instead. Eventually full memories came back.
comics aren't really canon as heck in comics they have had crossovers where hes been with LoZ, megaman, mario, street fighter, monster hunter, justice league, and tons more.
The Sonic & Megaman crossover was actually damn good, and was actually a very creative way to reboot the Sonic Comic Universe after SEGA had finished with the legal issues with that previous writer. It's not often a crossover like that gets to have lasting consequences for a comic.
Shadow is not dead so may have been able to protect him too... but also hallucinations/dreams/memories/holograms all kinds of endless shenanigans to have him shooting scenes.

I haven't seen the first one yet, either. At this point I'll wait until they finish the series.

He got tired of being Funny, wanted something easy.

Okay but this time you HAVE to get him to say "Snooping as usual"

It's fitting. Jim Carrey gets to play Jim Carrey.

I never even watched the first one. Now there may be a fourth?!

"Eggman"? EGGMAN? That's Dr-goddamn-Robotnik, and anyone who says otherwise is a communist.

Okay, but will I be able to attach a Sonic 3 blu-ray to this one and combine the movies?

Wait, there are how many Sonic movies? Goddamn, I've been out of the loop.
MapleSyrupMafia
There's a new Scary Movie coming out, a new Scream too. They're all going the Fast & Furious way, they'll stop once they run out of numbers.
kbryant414
Three Sonic movies plus a short Knuckles series. They're all actually pretty good.
Colopty
Three so far. They're good and I recommend watching them.
jimmythehat1
Ok, but how do they not have Adam Pally coming back?
draginator
I didn't see the first two but I saw the third sonic movie in theaters and was surprised just how fun it was!
ingridwebb88
Has he always been this much of a prima donna?
Kenbamazingbutprobablywontbe
Theyre not my kind of movie but i love the man still. Seems genuine.
TheDoctorCrankenstein
Everyone remember how the first design for Sonic in these movies almost put the nail in the coffin before they even released?
Absolutely wild how one design change and the franchise was able to have wings.
TheBizi
It's what Sonic would look like with DLSS 5
Mitchz95
I'm still half-convinced the studio created that whole debacle on purpose to get people talking about the movie.
Snooj
Ugly Sonic is one of the most prominent side characters in the Chip 'n Dale movie and it's fucking awesome. He has his own booth at a con.

I can't stand him. Which is sad bc I really want to enjoy the mivies..

I still haven't even watched the third one yet. I did genuinely enjoy the first two, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
Helixninja333
iirc, he also said the second movie would be his last. That paycheck must be really damn good.
unluckyandbored
Either they cut him a huge paycheck, or he had an absolute ball.

AgamemnonsMemes
To be fair he said he wasn't going to do ANY more movies, then did sonic 1. Then THAT was it, then he did sonic 2. I think he just likes sonic movies.
Evenmoreuselessname
They let him Jim Carrey it up. I suspect it's both fun, and a payday. "Do what you love and never work a day in your life" and all that.
AgamemnonsMemes

Maybe, but its also clear when you watch that the man is having an absolute blast as eggman.

Bojovnik84
I am still amazed that this will go to 4. Metal Sonic and Amy Rose being next, just seems kinda like we're forcing this to continue now.
AnotherOneBitesTheCrust
Metal Sonic and Amy Rose both debuted in Sonic CD, so it’s actually not that far fetched that they’re showing up in the movie together too
InfocalypseRising
They wouldn't keep sharting them out if people didn't keep buying tickets (shrug)
BlueDsc
Sonic is a several decade old franchise with dozens of games, many cartoons, and hundreds of comics, I don't think they really need to force anything.
Bojovnik84
That's just my point. We have had plenty of it and rehashing the whole thing out in this series of movies seems like it will drag on too long and become stale, like Marvel is getting with superhero movies. I think 3 total was good, but I think the story will run dry on its current course.

The movies are ok, but Carrey steals the show. Worth watching just for that.

They're dumb... But I love them. They're just stupid enough to be fun

You can tell they let him have his fun. LIke there were writers and a script but Carrey was allowed to play and it shows

I was not expecting that?

Somehow, he is back..

Could be he had some minor work done, and was just all swollen and fucked up right then.
RevTang
I really think he would be happier up here. Come home Jim.

Jim Carrey is an unfunny piece of shit. Beating a dead horse of a career. His entire schtick is making random noises while contorting his face.
Fuck him.

Sober up, friend.

Antivaxxers are by definition bad and dangerous people.

I hope he’s gotten out of his antivax mindset and understands autism is real.

He needs to understand the damage he caused with the transphobia in Ace Ventura and apologize.

I don't think ace ventura caused damage

Are you trans?

Didn't he, like, super-duper-die at the end of 3?

Shadow was with him and he can teleport. Easy explanation is that Shadow just teleported them away from the explosion, that’s my guess. 2nd guess is the cloning thing.

Eggman just survives everything. He's the original "somehow Palpatine returned". Sent crashing into a pit at the end of the very end of the first sonic game, dropped into his own exploding fortress in sonic spinball, got pulled into a black hole at the end of colors, was stranded outside time and space at the end of generations

Eggman does that a lot. Him walking it off for the next game is just kinda standard.

Archie and fleetway are their own thing, but idw, the current one, actually is canon to the game timeline

Didn't stop him when he died at the end of 2
Kotarisu
Does not stop him after the end of every Sonic game.
Higure
I feel like the magnitude of the two deaths (both thematically and in terms of plausible survivability) are quite far apart. Hence the "super-duper".
IMakeLotsOfReferencesAndRemakes
Shadow is not dead so may have been able to protect him too... but also hallucinations/dreams/memories/holograms all kinds of endless shenanigans to have him shooting scenes.
InfocalypseRising
I mean I haven't seen the movies but I gotta imagine a quick "somehow Robotnik returned" would not be terribly out of place.
nemo3590
I have seen the movies and that line would be perfectly in place, delivered by Knuckles especially.
HumanCapybara
I’d be pretty ok with any Knuckles explanation as long as I get to continue hearing Idris Elba’s voice
hotaru251
i mean Shadow survived his game when assumed dead and we find out cloning technology exists so he could 100% just had a backup clone in event he dies.
PrincessBatCat
That does sound like a very Robotnik thing to do, yeah.
ArchMagos
And on that note, he very well could have a robot(nik) backup body to upload his mind to, thus giving us Doctor Robotnik.
