Sonic the Hedgehog 3 shifts focus to the titular character and his adversaries, leading to reduced roles for human characters. This streamlined approach enhances the narrative's clarity and engagement.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 set a new standard for Paramount's video game film franchise in terms of characters and storytelling. Specifically, as the movie centers around Sonic and his friends facing off against Shadow and the two Doctor Robotniks, it spends less time on human characters like Wade Whipple and the members of the Wachowski family.
Though these human characters have been a part of the Sonic films since the beginning, their more minor roles in 2024's Sonic the Hedgehog 3 show how the franchise has improved since its first film in 2020. Since Sonic the Hedgehog 3 introduced multiple characters, including Robotniks and alien characters like Shadow, Sonic's cinematic universe needed to scale down its cast to accommodate the many new, fan-favorite characters. In doing so, the third film fixed the overabundance of human characters seen in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and made for a more focused and engaging narrative. Also, by spending more time on Sonic and Shadow's story, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 became a box-office hit and the best movie in the Sonic film franchise. Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Doesn't Give Its Human Characters Major Roles Besides The Robotniks Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Had To Give More Time To The Robotniks And Non-Human Characters Most of the human characters in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 have a lot less to do than in previous films. Though Tom and Maddie help Sonic break into GUN headquarters halfway into the movie, Wade and the Wachowskis really don't have massive parts in the story. Likewise, Rachel and her fiancé Randall technically don't appear in the film, and Commander Walters gets killed off after explaining Shadow's origin story after roughly a minute of screen time. The way these characters are portrayed shows how the film needed to lose some extra baggage to present a more balanced story
