So some youtuber created a fan made sonic movie, which isnt TERRIBLE (the voice acting is pretty bad and some animation scenes are a bit bleh) But it is interesting. See for yourself sonic fans
Because why not? Sonic games were quite dark in a few installments - not to look too far, in Sonic Adventure 2, which is practically my favourite. "Sonic" and "Dark" do go together well if you execute it properly.Production values aren't bad but why they're making something so serious gritty dark for fucking Sonic the Hedgehog is beyond me.

Taking away most of the terribad parts of the game, it does have a rather dark story, what with the Murder Of Maria and the actual backstory of Shadows legacy.
They do not.
I said "when they're executed properly", and Shadow the Hedgehog is not a good example of that. Sonic Adventure 2 on the other hand is, and that game had quite a serious tone - the whole Earth was at stake and by the end of the game, things did turn quite dark.They do not.

I see quite a difference between a robo-apocalypse and Bowser finally banging Peach.The Mushroom Kingdom is at stake in every Mario game. Does that make them dark? I mean like Mario's the last hope for the kingdom, even the universe in Super Mario Galaxy. But the game certainly isn't dark.
That's just the attitude of the main character, not sure how it "ruins" a story arc.Sonic's dated catchphrases and his GOTTA GO FAST music ruins any image of a "dark, gritty" Sonic.
Depends on how you execute it, really. The comics can be quite dark as well, but then again, Sega Sonic =/= Archie Sonic.Also it's a game based around an anthropomorphic hedgehog who fights a villain named "Dr. Eggman". That's not dark.
At all.
In the Saturday AM series, Eggman has already won, and has an iron-grip rule of the world. Nearly everyone is transformed into robots with no free-will, and the Earth is 80% polluted and bombed. It's all up to Sonic and about 10 other freedom fighters to fight back against Eggman, even though they hardly have a chance, and they can never seem to get ahead. The heroes even lose sometimes, and when they do, there is always a huge loss when they do. (Allies getting "killed", ect)The Mushroom Kingdom is at stake in every Mario game.

Pfft. They've got nothing on this gem.
