For those wondering, the scene is the wedding part before the temple showdown. The entire wedding is a setup to capture Sonic because he's dangerous, but if Sonic didn't need to escape there what was the plan? To just have the groom go through with it all and then be some secret agent to infiltrate the family and get Sonic? They already know where he lives so what was all this for? Just felt like a scene for the sake of forcing the human characters to have some action because heaven forbid we ever have a movie with non-human characters and don't let their human sidekicks get a moment to look useful.

Particularly the resolution of Rachel, the sister of Sonic's stepmom, who needed to get revenge and full clarity from her alleged spy fiancé. I...really think we could've just footnoted that plot bit at a later point if you really wanted to clear up what could've happened there. It got very into itself to the point I was thinking to myself "is this relevant to anything?"

Yeah, I think it didn't help for me that I don't remember her from the first movie or anything, so her getting a ton of attention felt odd but even if I did remember her, it just felt like a random subplot that really didn't need exploring. No emphasis was even put on the wedding before Sonic arrives, with it just being a footnote reason for where all the notable humans are and then being used to randomly declare an operation was being done to capture Sonic. It served nothing but convenience for the plot and yet they tried to make the viewers give a shit about it when it was nothing more than a device to get people and things to their spots. They could've just been on a regular vacation as couples (Rachel already married) and there are just agents staking the place out to keep tabs on things, maybe in light of Sonic having gone off around the world and so they hang there to see if he turns up there or at home. Then have the whole fake marriage thing come out as a way they had someone always close without drawing suspicion and it would've at least made more sense than having all these agents just setting up a wedding when Sonic may not have ever appeared.
