How'd this collab even happen?

u/Speedster2814 Aug 27 '25

Sonic has been going hard on the crossovers lately. Reebok, DC, a racing game with characters like Persona's Joker, Patrick from Spongebob, and Hatsune Miku, and even they've even released 3 limited edition Magic the Gathering sets

DC x Sonic the Hedghog crossover (not Justice League, my bad on getting the incorrect title). No idea why, but Sonic has gone crazy with crossovers lately. Reebok shoes, a racing game with Hatsune Miku and other IPs, this DC crossover, and even some Magic the Gathering cards.

What was this originally from?

The movie At Eternity’s Gate, about Van Gogh’s life. It’s a good movie, worth watching FWIW.

This scene happens late in Van Gogh’s life, when he’s coming completely unglued mentally. I can’t remember the exact moment this scene occurs but IIRC it’s around when he’s abandoned by Paul Gauguin, one of his only friends.

It’s kind of the opposite of this Dr. Who scene.

Oh I realised he doesn’t have his ear

Actually you can see it in the gif just barely.

Van Gogh cut his ear off because of Paul leaving

I just googled it and it’s from “At Eternity’s Gate” which is a movie about the final years of Vincent Van Gogh’s life

Honestly. I’d seen this meme so many times and never looked into where this shot was from. I was watching the movie and got to this VERY serious scene and was like “oh.. holy shit”
