Koko Ricky Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) My childhood idolization of the blue blur aside, this kind of thing elicits not anger or disgust, but pure confusion and bafflement. Jim Carey has also been confirmed as Dr. Robotnik. The studio has said publicly that Sonic has fur (an odd choice because hedgehogs have spines). He has muscular, human-like appendages. It seems to say a lot about Hollywood's continual ignorance of gamer culture, their cluelessness about how to translate from one medium to another, and most interestingly, a desperate fear of 2-D animation, despite anime still being a major part of the American zeitgeist. It's one of the more fascinating misfires from the entertainment industry in the last few years. Edited December 13, 2018 by GoatLord 4 Share this post Link to post
Fonze Posted December 13, 2018 I like how it's advertised as from the producer of the fast and the furious. 11 Share this post Link to post

Maser Posted December 13, 2018 After Mister Metokur exposed the weird ass fanart from the Sonic fandom, I can never look at Sonic the same ever again! Mega Man is the better blue hero anyways! :D 1 Share this post Link to post
Spooner5020 Posted December 13, 2018 How is it possible that a live action Pokémon movie can look better and cooler than a Sonic movie? Pikachu even looks like Pikachu. Sonic looks....what? 0 Share this post Link to post

But, mostly, they look like this: (Last one is full of ticks, poor critter.) So it's clear that something that looks like Sega's mascot isn't going to look even remotely like an actual hedgehog. 6 Share this post Link to post

Cruduxy Pegg Posted December 13, 2018 Haha that looks worse than the sonic in Sonic Boom and the 3d Games. Who did this terrible redesign I bet the other characters look even more terrifying. They didn't even bother giving him socks, monsters! 1 Share this post Link to post

SOSU Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) As a Sonic fan i can just say...please stop the production of this movie :) 1 Share this post Link to post
Koko Ricky Posted December 14, 2018 I can't get over the extremely human legs in that bridge shot. I almost want to see this movie, knowing that it will be an unmitigated disaster. 0 Share this post Link to post
elend Posted December 14, 2018 Good lord, science has gone too far. While I understand that you have to change certain things for movies, I really... can't understand this. What is this, it really looks weird. He looks more like a rodent than... wait, are Hedgehogs rodents, too? Whatever, he looks just plain weird. 0 Share this post Link to post
Gez Posted December 14, 2018 19 minutes ago, elend said: wait, are Hedgehogs rodents, too? Nope! They're distantly related to shrews, which are not rodents either even if they're often confused with mouses. Rodents are characterized by the need to gnaw constantly to abrade their ever-growing incisors; hedgehogs on the other hand eat insects and slugs so they have pointy canine teeth, like the carnivora family. You won't see rodents with teeth like these. 5 Share this post Link to post

Death Egg Posted December 14, 2018 When you're a Sonic fan you sign up for shit like this. Honestly I can't wait, I've been hoping for a super shitty movie to happen for years and it's finally here. 3 Share this post Link to post
Doomkid Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) I fucking hate all these creepy uncanny valley 3D remakes of shit that was designed to be 2D. 2D animation is so much more inspired and so rare these days. This Sanic abomination is particularly bad, but the new “3D realistic so kool” Pokémon and Disney shit coming at us just seems like shlock as well. Inferior versions of existing masterpieces, or in the case of the Pokémon movie, the absolutely bizarre decision to give Pikachu the voice and attitude of Deadpool (literally all of my wat) 5 Share this post Link to post

To some extent it would seem studios are feeling pressured to compete with photo real 3D cartoons, which if you think about it is something kids consume a lot of, probably more than 2D cartoons. 1 Share this post Link to post
