They've listened to the criticism and they're changing the design of Sonic. Good job they've got 6 months to do it.
Should of listened when they made the reveal in March.

Should ask how the hell that got the green light in the first place. Whoever is responsible for that should be out of a job.I feel bad for the animators who now have to work extra hard to sort this all out. What a clusterfeck.
Genuinely the worst thing about it was the choice of Gangsta's Paradise. It's actually made me mad.
I for one, am delighted that they’ve bowed to pressure and will now force their animators to work crippling overtime on a kids movie to appease angry 30 year olds who don’t like change. Another huge win for fan culture the 21st century! Hoorah!
There are a lot of (literally) autistic Sonic fans on the internet. I'm not surprised by the reaction.
It's real to me, dammit.What the feck is this thread. Who cares about a sonic movie
That’s like saying who cares about curing cancer, saving money or Kim Kardashian.What the feck is this thread. Who cares about a sonic movie
YongYea said:It took the internet a single day to fix Sonic's awful design... surely Paramount can do the same in six months. Right...? PSA: Just found out original art of improved Sonic movie design was actually created by Aimee Ueda. Much props! https://twitter.com/AimeeUeda/status/1123326781002481664

Yeah I think this is clearly true.I've read theories that they intentionally made Sonic look ugly knowing itd gain a lot of attention.
Very clever if true. As they've gotten so much free publicity now that would've cost them a fortune to generate the normal way. Would be hilarious if they intentionally used Coolio's song to incense!I've read theories that they intentionally made Sonic look ugly knowing itd gain a lot of attention.
I’m sure there probably are. But it does also fall very nicely into that late 80s/early 90s realm of really entitled fan culture bullshit, along with things like Ghostbusters and Star Wars. Where unfulfilled men hitting adulthood, and not dealing with it very well, have decided that gatekeeping things that remind them of their childhood, is something thats REALLY worth getting super angry and invested in... to the point of abusing the people actually making it. Even though it’s no longer aimed at them!
We complain about the intransigence of the Boomer generation now, but I genuinely worry about what the World will be like when the Gen X fanboys are in their place. Because on current evidence, they seem just as belligerently awful. And just as likely to vote a Trump-Esque dictator into power... though rather than in latently racist retaliation for there being a black President, more likely in an even stupider retaliation for there being a female lead Back to the Future remake. Or remaking Hey Arnold with the wrong kind of CGI head.
Civilisation will end with Star Wars dick heads voting in an actual Darth Vader, to troll people for casting too many girls in a Thundercats movie.
And we all deserve to die for letting it happen.

They've pushed the move back a year because everyone hated the trailer. You fussy buggers better go and see it when it's released!

Is it possible to make an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog, that doesn't really resemble a hedgehog in any way, look anything other than shit?It's fair to say though, they did make him look woefully shit![]()

When was the last popular Sonic game?
This film seems about 20 years late. Might as well have a Golden Axe film.
If this film does not flop, I'll get a Sonic tattoo.
