The Sonic Movie Trailer dropped
This movie is gonna be something, the trailer really solidifies the fact that I am not gonna like the movie just based on character design...

That Sonic pic = When the Grinch and a Smurf love each other very much
Might as well call it Ace Ventura 3 .
From those screenshots, of all of the horrible issues, the thing that jumps out immediately is "why does Sonic have human teeth?"...
to eat chili dogs.

He couldn't do that with hedgehog teeth?
Based on the Live action Mario movie, Sega had REEEEAAAAAALLLLLLYYYYYYY low bar to beat.... And somehow I don't think they will with this.
I promised my little sister we'd go see it on her birthday. -_-
I kinda wanna see it to see Jim Carry play this version of Eggman as shown at the end of the trailer:
Hahahahahahahaha

Live Action Mario had John Leguizamo and perpetually drunk Bob Hoskins, along with in-his-prime Dennis Hopper.
It was a bad movie, but it had a fun cast portraying the ridiculousness of it all.
(and it was all practical effects so some of the constuming and character design sins can be forgiven)
It also came out on the heels of multiple Nintendo cartoons dominating after school viewing to build the hype, in a time that kids WANTED a live action attempt at their video game heroes to exist.
Even for how awful it turned out, we can at least understand why it was given a green light.
But I don't understand why this movie would be made now.
Sonic doesn't have any significant current cultural relevance that I'm aware of, and even back in the day was playing second-class in terms of major brand mascot recognition.
This looks way more entertaining than all those goofy ass over the top serious MCU movies even though I'll probably still never watch it.
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't lookin
It's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin
They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me
If they can't understand it, how can they reach me?
How the hell do you guys expect a fuckin movie about a blue hedgehog who collects rings that moves at light speed be serious. It's supposed to be a fun movie and that's it.

I'd expect (and hope) that it would be a ridiculous movie, since the fun would be in the absurdity.
But I would have hoped they had more competent character design work, because this portrayal of Sonic has too many elements that touch on uncanny valley, completely unecessarily, when they could have EASILY made all of his features more character-accurate and "cartoonier" (with a possible end result more akin to how animation and reality blend in Roger Rabbit)
I would be taking them to see it for sure, my oldest 7 years old already asked me about that movie when he saw Sonic standee few months ago at movie theater. So, the memories with my kids and theirs with the dad is all I care about.

The human features are an odd choice, who knows maybe a human got thrown into a boiling pot with a hedgehog, some blue, some rings and some stuff that moves really fast and that will be the origin story.

I was about to compare it to Roger Rabbit, or even Detective Pikachu which would be a better comparison. As weird as some of the Pokemon look, they did at least have a little more respect to the overall design.

He couldn't do that with hedgehog teeth?
Not ones made for humans. No.
I feel like this looks awful. But awful in the way that if I was sick and laying on the couch and it was on, I'd totally watch it to see how awful it is.
A movie for mouth breathers and people who need to wear a helmet.
Well if thats the case it should do quite well, I mean the newest Marvel movie made over a billion dollars

Not only that but hedgehog teeth look menacing as hell man.
Pretty cut and dry why they went with the human teeth.

You could dull down hedgehog teeth a bit to make them cartoonier without resorting to overlaying an actual human mouth and teeth.
The end result is fairly grotesque.
I really like the live action Mario movie.
I enjoyed it as a kid, but haven't rewatched since I saw it in the theater.
I'm sure it's every bit as bad as people claim, though I'm sure it would also be amusing to rewatch with my kids.

I'm banking on this to be true, because I'm hoping that my kinds won't want to go see it. Luckily, they just discovered Pokemon.
yeah I'm passing until its on Netflix or some shit...
