That's pretty much what the situation with the comics is and those are pretty good, fwiw.

Yeah that's what i mean, between the comics, sonic mania, and the various animations, we've seen what happens when people who love the series get to work on it. and this is definitely not it

It's really funny to me how sonic looks like a tiny man in a sonic costume.

He seriously looks like something out of one of those intentionally lovely ironic Sonic fangames.

Why bother to try and give him those proportions? He's a loving blue anthropomorphic hedgehog. Let him be a cartoon. And they gave him impossible anime eyes anyway!

Oh, and if he has tiny quills now, what exactly are his head spikes? Are they flesh? Does his skull grow that way?

You and I have very different opinions because that was the moment where I literally said "gently caress you" out loud to no one.


I laughed because its lame as gently caress. The trailer is exactly what someone trying to do a parody of cgi adaptation movie would come up with and it owns.

Eh that will probably be just fine. Illumination makes safe, unobjectionable stuff for the most part. The worst part about them is their over-reliance on the minions. They're not riding a wave of literal garbage like Sony or anything.

I love how they literally only use the parts of gangsta's paradise that only mention the song's title because the song is actually about how awful and terrible it is the be a Gangster.

Wait.

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left
‘Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long
That even my momma thinks that my mind is gone

Too much television watching, got me chasing dreams
I'm a educated fool with money on my mind

quote:

You better watch how you talkin' and where you walkin'
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip, but I gotta go fast, fool!
I think the song now officially doubles as a metaphor for being a sonic fan in 2019.

To be fair, there's a lot of people who love Sonic that are working on it, just not in a position to make high level creative choices.

I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG, BROTHER!

At the very least, the tone would've felt better.

This doesn't fix the problem of Sonic's design though.

Meanwhile Detective Pikachu over here not only is doing the designs right but every single trailer they've released has had perfect music choices

i dunno about that man. my impression of it is lovely guardians of the galaxy except with anthro uncanny valley sonic that'll probably scare kids. prepare for a 90 minute journey of the writers projecting their daddy issues and one liners that sound great in a trailer

To be fair, when I watched the trailer, the first thing I thought of was a girl at work talking about how her little boy liked Hotel Transylvania 3 alot. And he'd probably like this without knowing Sonic or anything.

Also I'm probably going to watch this, and be pretty optimistic about it. I just won't like most of the filler scenes. Mainly because they'll just have jokes that won't be great. But the machine stuff in the trailer seemed pretty faithful, as far as what they could realistically do translating the games' action to a movie.

True, but later Sega actually removed it from digital stores which is pretty funny.

I'm pretty sure they would have preferred to release an actual good game that sold even better than guaranteed Christmas present from grandma sales just for having the name Sonic on it.

Sonic is the icon of the 2020s

Robotnik Nudes

Eggman is the smartest guy around and he knows it, makes sure you know it, and takes great pleasure in being a theatrical ham. He finds great delight in being himself and doing his mad science, and his huge ego comes crashing down into throwing temper tantrums. He’s a big brilliant baby. Carey seems to be doing a version of that, so it’s a valid Eggman.

There’s no bad Eggmen, and looks like that much will stay true.

Sonic’s voice sounds like Sonic, and his dialogues give isn’t great writing but it’s the right tone.

This movie may contain 5 even, dare one dream, up to 9 minutes of content that could be described as enjoyable. That’s more than I expected. But everything else is hell.

Plus, I think NoJ/Miyamoto managed to get a much better contract where they have much more direct creative control over the project and a possible bailout clause after getting burned by the Mario movie.

At 1.25x it's something that could perfectly replace Cassino Night or Spring Yard.

Let's not get too crazy. It's still Illumination, and they are incapable of creating anything above "adequate".

It wasn't until Unleashed when they went what the gently caress are we doing these are cartoon animals and decided to just be goofy like this movie appears to be
