I think Sega is kinda afraid to use Rouge in newer Sonic media sometimes, as her flirty, sensual nature, and design (ever notice Rouge’s & Witch Rouge’s arm placement kinda censoring her chest in the mobile games?) could be considered “controversial” now with the media, and such becoming more sensitive to that, (a game developer was even ranting about Rivot from the newest R&C “being too curvy,” and claiming it would “destroy society,” and she’s way more tame then Rouge) or finding such things “sexist,” or “innapropriate for kid’s/family media. (Some flip out anytime a female game character is even a little “good looking.”)
…Aaaand with the oddball side of the “furry fandom” becoming more well known, hasn’t helped either.
…(Hence why female animal cartoon characters in recent years are less anthro’/curvy now… Not that it has stopped some fanartists. Some even prefer it. Lol)
So I honestly don’t expect her appearing in either the STH3 movie, or Knuckles Paramount+ spinoff. (Or I fear they would “tone her down” too much.)

I saw that, Ben apparently wants a Smash Brothers movie. Ben is awesome.
Saw a video of him unboxing STH2 movie toys. He’s a total geek like us.
