With sonic, ignoring canon is optimal.

Movie looks funny bad instead of regular bad now at least.

I'm having a hard time thinking of a less appropriate or effective song choice. It really accomplishes absolutely nothing other than generating a few clickbait headlines. It's a pretty slow song when you gotta go fast...

Like so much else about the movie, it seems so perfectly wrong. It's not as blatantly hackneyed as something like "I Feel Good" or "Baby's Got Back" or whatever, it's much more left-field.

I got this title for free due to my proximity to an idiot who wanted to save $5 on an avatar by having someone else spend $9.95 instead.

Neat. Sweet. Petite.

Given Sonic's not even from the 'world' means there's absolutely no reason to make him hyper realistic.

Looking back at the quality of the games and comics over the years, this film seems absolutely consistent with the vision of a company that has never had any idea of what to do with its property.

Music is the one thing they should have copied from Sonic's extensive catalogue of crappy games and cartoons. Get a studio musician to bang out some goofy pop punk or ska theme song, with some try hard butt rock or nu metal for the actions scenes.

The beginning muaic of that trailer seem to be exuding some retro wave stuff until it suddenly reminded me there was a movie in the 90s where a white lady teaches black kids poetry to end racism forever

I hate the blue arms, personally.

Not at the exclusion of anything else mentioned, of course, but in addition to all of it. It's always a telltale sign that something is off-model about the character, and that design is off-model incarnate.

Makes it easier to read his arms against his body when you're running up against the limitations of color palettes and sprite sizes. Same reason Mario has a mustache and overalls - makes his face and arms more readable, respectively.

I guess since a lot of his later work was in film (generally as a visual development artist or a story artist), it should be said here to:

Not the first time it's happened. Monster Trucks had to completely redesign the monster because it made the test audience cry. But they had the decency to delay the movie.

Literally the same studio that thought a goblin in blue pajamas made for an appealing Sonic. Both are Paramount movies.

There exist out there a small group of children who were mildly traumatized by a cut of Monster Trucks that no one else will ever see. In 10 years this will turn into some internet urban legend after one of the kids posts hazy memories about seeing the movie, sparking a multi-year search where someone will become obsessed with tracking down a copy of this cut of the film.

pretentious fuckwit who isn't half as literate or insightful or clever as he thinks he is
At this point I'm half-convinced they'd already changed Sonic's design back when people started getting mad about the bad design in the teasers, but finished the trailer so they could declare that they were fixing the problem afterwards. The alternative is rampant mistreatment of animators in the film industry :shepface:

Why did they give him shoes but not gloves? Everyone is so distracted by his horrible face but his little white hands are also unsettling.
