Still not a 12 fan, but to each is own.

If you ask me, Disney missed a massive opportunity to have their Feature Animation division pick up the film rights. At least the Mouse House would have treated the Blue Blur with respect. Paramount should just stick with Transformers.

I still like Detective Pikachu more than Sonic the Hedgehog Live/CGI Movies, it looks pretty cuter than Sonic, but also uglier than uncanny.

-Sonic: It is an endless void from which no joy can escape.
-FFXII: Not the worst FF (that's a tie between VIII and XIII), but probably the blandest (only matched by XV) and definitely the one with the most wasted potential. Also, Bloodstained finally has a release date of June 18 for all platforms but the Switch which is coming out June 25. About time |

Project Nimbus also got announced for Switch for a May 19 release. Although I do want to check out some gameplay since it's more arcade style than Armored Core and Daemon x Machina.

Taking it back to 1999 are we?
Yeah barring the first trailer where almost everybody spent their time whining about Mr.Mime and Jigglypuff.....oh and still complaining about Danny Devito not voicing Pikachu.
People tend to overstate the Sonic-Elise stuff while weirdly ignoring the more "legitimate" issues with Sonic 06 such as it's broken and unpolished gameplay.
Wasn't getting timed exclusive release for the new Metro game that to some people?
Don't know Microsoft has owned Minecraft for how long with them doing next to nothing to spite people who owned the game on all the platforms it was on prior to them buying it? |

I saw the new Detective Pikachu trailer, and it looked dreadful. Nothing funny in it at all. It's not even in the realm of Who Framed Roger Rabbit funny either, just blah.
Although the humor is missing in Detective Pikachu, the designs are however more approachable and easier to take in. Sonic's design on the other hand is like watching an obscenity come to life. |

I'm confused by this comment, my family DID go see that movie back then because Jim Carrey was the lead. And he's also honestly the only reason I'll even bother renting the Sonic movie when it's out. Is it so strange to like a particular actor and watch something because of them? |

As far as I can tell, people say that about anything Epic does. I don't play games on PC much, but the whole hatred from Epic Store seems to just stem from them not having everything in their Steam library in one place. But just like we've seen with anime streaming, that's going away. People see the money and appeal in it, so now other companies want in on that market. But unlike anime, you don't have to pay to use the Blizzard launcher, or the Ubisoft launcher, or the Bethesda launcher, or the Epic Store launcher, so it's really pointless to complain about having to use another launcher like it is having to pay for Netflix or Funimation to watch a show on their platform. |

The only thing I'm looking forward to seeing about the Sonic film is the infamous Christian Weston Chandler's reaction to it. Yes, I'm not lying. And it better not have any borderline bestiality shit like the 2006 Sonic game had...
As for Detective Pikachu, that's definitely on my "want to watch" list, can't wait till it comes out.

Given that half of Hollywood's marketing is based around the big-name actors, and they get obscene amounts of money for the amount of press they bring just by being in the movie, no, clearly that isn't strange at all. But niche subcultures like this one may feel differently than the general public. In regards to Sonic looking like an unholy abomination, honestly, there was probably no way around that. Sonic is a freaky, inherently cartoonish-looking creature. I can't imagine a way to take a fuzzy blue half-human half-hedgehog embodiment of 90's radical kid culture and put it in the real world without making it look ridiculous. He looks pretty ridiculous even in animation, really, but in the context of a campy and extremely video-gamey video game, it's not as noticeable. (Most) Pokemon are designed to look like plausible fantasy creatures, rather than saturday-morning-cartoon characters, so translating that to live-action is much more manageable. |

"People want to see Jim Carrey as [Eggman|Robotnik]" in the same way "people want to see Sacha Baron Cohen play Freddie Mercury" -- that is: The twelve remaining fans of the actor want to see this; everyone else in God's Creation knows "this is an incredibly, amazingly, astoundingly, astonishingly, apocalyptically *STUPID* idea"....

Remember when Tails watched Sonic shower in the original Adventure credits? Remember when Sonic was best friends with the US president in the sequel? Or how about Shadow killing cops in the E10 rated sequel to that? The bestiality in Sonic 06 easily wins of course but Pepperidge Farm still remembers. The whole franchise peaked with Sonic CD in 1993 and just needs to end. Pull the plug Sega, we all suffered enough.
Like seriously, the new film is based on the immediately abandoned American Sonic lore bible! That thing was basically uncut heroin in how bonkers it was, yet here we are. This Sonic will be raised by on owl! Cronenberg-baby-Sonic here we come. PS: Generations is the one alright 3D Sonic game but even that one was tarnished by it´s sequel. |

I think the problem is less "sonic can't fit in with realistic characters" and more like "It's really generous to say the CG character they put in the trailer is supposed to be sonic." I feel like if you had a collection of the right poses and facial expressions from the more recent 3D sonic games and masked that into the trailer, it would probably work better in a weird Cool World sorta way. Anyway, I also think that people who say they want Jim Carry to "Ham it up as Eggman" have probably accepted that the film is gonna be bad and just hope that Carrey does for this what Raul Julia did to the Street Fighter movie as a last-ditch prayer to get something at least ironically enjoyable. Which makes sense that they wouldn't have done it for something like The Grinch because we didn't have an online culture so driven by enjoying things "ironically" back then.
