In another timeline, Sonic The Hedgehog released today
- Thread starter Ottaro
- Start date
I can imagine Hollywood this is sonic the hedgehog he already has a perfect design but let's mess it up and make man children cry and give children nightmares
there a rumour of the new version of the new sonic online it looks amazing
I still think the "meow" thing and the elevator scene are funny. Will they remove Gangstar Paradise?
Delayed for redesign, which we are probably going to officially see soon:
The latter, this is the rumored / leaked redesign:
Ah okay, that's what I thought.
Poor Sonic has been spending too long in a Gangsta's Paradise.
That legit looks way better than the original movie design. Wonder if it will look good in motion though.

Breaks my heart that we ruined the sonic movie, i really wanted the cringe sonic. I guess I'll settle for cats
They should have just released it instead of prolonging what will almost certainly be an average Alvin and the Chipmunks clone.
oh damn this got canned?
I still don't understand why they used gangsta's paradise for this. It makes.. no sense

This is still the best
nope delayed, Feb 14
They're redesigning Sonic
The latter, this is the rumored / leaked redesign:
Oh, it says "AMC" and not "ANIC". I thought it was the leaker's watermark.
The latter, this is the rumored / leaked redesign:
(I won't lie I like that they keep the eyes seperated; it's literally the creepiest thing with the original design even though I love how iconic Sonic's look is)
(but you can't see this because I wrote it in parentheses)
I'm really glad they took the time and effort to fix things, it shouldn't have happened in the first place but it's very rare to see a company admit the fans were right on such a massive scale. They could have easily not given a fuck and went ahead with the original design and probably have made just as much if not more money off of people who didn't care either way.
The comedy and premise of the first trailer haven't given me great confidence that the movie will be great regardless, but I'm willing to check it out and hopefully be pleasantly surprised.

I can tell you now that is the new design. I work in the industry and that is the design now with a new trailer.
Sweet. It's such a glow-up, like you could plop him in Detective Pikachu and he would fit right in.
"Cave to internet pressure"
It's more like "understand the movie was going to absolutely bomb unless they make the design more appealing to general audiences".
I'm sure it's been said before but it looks like a Saturday Night Live parody trailer. Jim Carrey's performance looks like it's down there with Arnie's Mr Freeze and Travolta from Battlefield earth.
How DARE they compromise their ARTISTIC VISION to appease to the corporate overlords and mainstream sheeple. Like those auteurs before it, we have another victim of the conformity CONSTRAINING our society.
This design had purpose, GRIT, and a sense of identity that those Pixar FANBOYS couldn't dare to reach! I wanted Sonic the FUCKING Hedgehog, not Detective Pikachu 2!

People way underestimate how badly this design went over. I would hear people audibly groan whenever the trailer came on in movie theaters. I showed the Sonic design to my mom (who I can definitely say does not care in the slightest) and her reaction was just "hm. He looks kind of stupid, doesn't he?"
I don't see what the benefit is in pretending this was just a few dweebs on the Internet (like me) complaining about this, the reaction was universally negative. It's not like it was just the fact that it was different from the games (the new design, while closer, still has a few key differences), but the original movie design was atrociously bad. This movie would have tanked hard had it come out in the state it was in.
Now, it could very well still bomb. I don't subscribe to the "they made it bad on purpose so they could get brownie points for 'fixing' it later" theory, but yeah, that's probably going to be the end result even if it wasn't intentional. The movie will still likely be mediocre at best, but the next time they launch a new trailer it won't matter how cheesy the jokes are, or how inappropriate the music is or whatever, all the buzz is going to be about how good Sonic looks. They'll get butts in the seats just for that.
I get the people who are concerned about "oh they're caving into backlash," but come on. This is a super cosmetic change to something that was reviled by like 99% of this movie's intended audience, and let's not pretend like movies being changed in post in reaction to test screenings, etc. is anything new.
I still think the movie is going to be terrible but at least now I may be willing to see it. Looks so much better.The latter, this is the rumored / leaked redesign:
Sure, how about they listen to all the things said recently about people in movies of late.
You and me are not general audiences either.
This is now the official game over music. Someone mod this into every Sonic game kthnx.
