Uh, no, there's no way that people would accept this anthropomorphic blue speedy hedgehog that can talk if he doesn't have calves.

I understand why they made him look more realistic for a live action movie. What I don't understand is why they made him look more realistically human instead of realistically hedgehog. If you're gonna change his design that much, make him a cute hedgehog! Like Rocket Raccoon!

C-Euro posted:Maybe I just like Pokémon more than I like Sonic but it really can't be overstated how much better these Pokémon look than Sonic. Outside of the vastly better rendering, the difference is that the Pokémon keep their silhouettes—which is the most important part of character design. The artists just added texture and detail on top of those familiar forms, unlike Sonic where they both added texture and detail as well as massively changed the proportions, structure, and facial design of the character, leaving Sonic looking more like this:  than his classic design. It's why the fan edit that brings him closer to the traditional design works and the model in the film doesn't.

I was thinking about how live-action Mr. Mime is less creepy than live-action sonic, and it turns out the director of Detective Pikachu did an interview with IGN about it. It took a lot of time and energy to get Mr. Mime not horrifyingquote:“[Mr. Mime] basically broke all the rules of what's going on in our movie,” Letterman told us. “To give you some insight, Pikachu for example, or the Bulbasaurs or Charizards, there's so much real-world design going into those very simple characters. Pikachu we tried to stay true to the silhouette of a Pikachu. While at the same time putting in realistic fur. There's realistic muscle systems and there's skeletal systems, there's eyeball systems. The fur simulates and interacts, and when it gets wet it gets wet. There's all this technology that goes into bringing those Pokemon characters to life. Because we're basing them on real-world physics. Then comes in Mr. Mime, which is bonkers because you can't do any of that stuff with it. So we thought okay, how do we get some sort of sense of photo real texturing in without breaking the Mr. Mime kind of cartoon nature of him?

Why didn't the sonic movie do that..like anyone familiar with the game franchise would quickly point out how wrong the character looks..

There's a fourth one coming to Switch, but it just never seemed to appeal to Westerners the way it did in Japan.

Detective No. 27 posted:There's a fourth one coming to Switch, but it just never seemed to appeal to Westerners the way it did in Japan. It also absolutely cratered in Japan after a while. Part of it was probably fatigue, they put out like 2 anime series and 13 games in under five years and the property went from the new hot thing to not selling real quick. Its why they took a 3 year break and are doing a full reboot/rebrand of the series.

The poster that freak me out of as a kid was for Deep Star Six with a diver suit that all mess up. Pretty sure I said this before in this thread.

Technically it's another blue and orange poster, but Godzilla's breath being blue and Ghidorah being orange were established in the 50s-60s.

i think i said this somewhere else but the advertising for both Pikachu and Godzilla has been so on point (and I thought Shazam's was too but it kinda underperformed) the guys who run WB's ad department deserve a raise i haven't seen a single bad piece of marketing for them yet

I think you people are crazy - that movie is going to do gangbusters. I’m 28, I don’t give a poo poo about anything except the OG 151, and I’m pumped to see the ridiculous Pokémon movie for my birthday. I think it’s gonna be a hit with the nostalgia millennials who grew up with it and it’s a super safe bet for kids.

It's probably going to do alright. Pokémon is still pretty popular with kids and there's a whole bunch of millennials with nostalgia for the old games and show.

I mean, that all may be but it doesn't change the fact that it's a huge big-budget summer blockbuster of a massive property that is tracking for a very underwhelming $50 million opening weekend.

It's probably hard to find a theater that has a screen that isn't showing Endgame or at least it feels that way looking over the schedules here.
