Why have fur on a hedgehog? Did Snuffaluffagus fuck a smurf?
Gangsters Paradise was the best part of this trailer
It really was. But of all songs. A lot of kids don't even know who Coolio is.
I think they're trying so hard to bank on nostalgia at this point. That song was #1 at the height of the 16 bit console wars as the theme track to Dangerous Minds. Their target audience can't be kids, but adults in their 30's and 40's who were around during the hype of Sonic.
If they put Regulators in this movie, I'll 100% go see it.
There is a serious reason why movie producers often change classic designs when incorporating existing properties into their movies, related to profit rather than creative or practical constraints. Basically, it is all about brand differentiation. The people at Paramount marketing their Sonic movie want to make absolutely sure that when you see movie Sonic and you buy movie Sonic, you KNOW you are getting movie Sonic. They will get a cut of revenues from merchandise branded with THEIR version of Sonic, but if the already existing Sonic merch gets a boost in sales, they see none of it.
This is exactly why, since the 90's and before, every time they've taken a classic property from TV, toys, videogames, comics, wherever, movie companies butcher them beyond all recognition. They get to own a piece of the mutated offspring, which they can then wring profit out of.
As someone who grew up with Sonic on the Genesis in the 90s, I can't wait to see how much of a trainwreck this movie is. The worse it is, the better. It's a movie that I am actively rooting against but will be going to see (trashed) in the first week it releases...
I'm not even sure I want to watch the trailer. I almost feel it would be better to be blindsided by how terrible it is when I see the movie.
As noted, the movie is aimed at little kids, not nerdy adults that like to complain that a kid's movie doesn't meet their Avengers-Star Wars-Dinsneyesque expectations
That said, I do feel like playing a Sonic game now, so I suppose the advertising is working... oh, and I don't think a link to the trailer was actually posted... here it is
I think kids' entertainment receives enough underthought dreck as it is. Even they deserve better character design than that. idk, I won't be seeing it but that first draft is pretty bad.
So far, at least no one seems to be complaining about the plot.

Has to be better than your average pony and dog movie.
Sonic doesn't have any significant current cultural relevance that I'm aware of,
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.
Sonic Boom depending on what cartoon channel your kids watch, but that might be a couple years old now too.
YOU FRIKKEN FRICKS CAN NEVER BE QUENCHED!! YOUR FANTASIES CAN NEVER BE QUENCHED

Thanks!
Im guessing that Eggman costume is only gonna be there for five minutes.
I hope not. I hope that it is there for much longer because they did a good job with it...
Man, they got it all wrong. Sonic has greasy white arms, not blue ones.
Imagine if they actually did put in a subtle Chris Chan reference. They won't, but good god that would be brilliant if they did.

Well, they're hoping to avoid a bomb /merciless mocking.

Isn't this movie meant for kids?
There's an indictment of nerd culture in here somewhere.
