Movie Sonic is back. After has been reborn as a cutesy blue baby child who would not spit out a mouthful of human teeth if you reflexively punched him while recoiling in terror at the thought of how he used to look. I think he’s good, in other words. Or at least passable. The internet seems to agree.
The moment that today’s new Sonic The Hedgehog movie trailer debuted, the internet fired up its reaction engines. With a fastness, people produced commentary, jokes, heartfelt outpourings of emotion, and of course, conspiracy theories. Behold:
It’s honestly insane even LOOKING at the old Sonic design, it doesn’t even feel real anymore. It’s like we all collectively had a nightmare pic.twitter.com/a3H6OtHI3p

The Teeth Sonic couldn’t hack it in this modern world. In it’s ideal form would have been a physical tangible puppet made by the Jim Henson Creature Shop in a 1998 movie that somehow had the exact plot of Sonic 2006.

sonic’s new movie design and trailer feels too refined to just be a fix up… I officially stand by the conspiracy that the horrible design was simply the greatest advertising campaign of all time

In my CONSIDERED opinion, the fact people are saying IT’S A CONSPIRACY, SONIC WAS ALWAYS GOING TO LOOK LIKE THIS AND THEY DID THE OLD TRAILER TO GET PRESS shows what a successful redesign the new Sonic is, and also how insanely hard the animators worked over the past few months pic.twitter.com/ZLsL6Kfope

new sonic trailer is kind of disappointing because it looks just like… fine. release the original terrible cut

The Sonic the Hedgehog movie creators original design for the character has been CENSORED. RT if you believe in free speech and artistic integrity. Bring back nightmare Sonic.

The Sonic looks like the Sonic, but my mind mostly thinks of the animators who had to deal with such backlash and those who had to flex hard to do this.

Seeing this redesign next to the first attempt somehow makes Nightmare Sonic seem even worse.
Yeah… I was never really that against or disturbed by Nightmare Sonic, but apart from the new design being more “accurate”, he also seems a lot more expressive, something I hadn’t noticed Nightmare Sonic was lacking until these comparisons.
I know, right?? That tweet saying “the cursed sonic walked so the new sonic could run” show’s how little expression cursed sonic had. Whoever okayed the original design should’ve been spanked. Hard.
It is genuinely impressive that they pulled this off. The movie still looks like it’ll be total garbage, but huge props to the CG team who must have worked their butts off to make this redesign work.
I felt the same way about Detective Pikachu. Was pleasantly surprised. Maybe this will pull it off too.
While the film looks all kinds of awful, there was quite a few moments in the trailer where I was seriously impressed, hell i am even willing to admit he might have made me smile a few times.
“sonic is now officially babie”
“movie sonic is so baby”
Is calling things ‘so baby’ or ‘babie’ some new slang I’ve missed?
Definitely seems like some new thing
I think babie/baby is the new term for “cute animal/person/creature”.
Thanks, I hate it.
(Am I using that right? That’s what the kids are saying these days, isn’t it?)
Haha you got the words right but the usage is somewhat wrong. Unsurprisingly, you went astray because you were using the words sincerely! Tsk.
“Thanks, I hate it” is mostly a way to reluctantly show admiration and resenting the fact that you do.
Better not be because that would literally be retarded. Even worse than couples calling eachother ‘babe’ or ‘baby’, which makes me want to throw up.
Whatever happened to “COWABUNGA” and ” RADICAL”?… Now it’s all Justin Beeboo this. And Power Rangers that.
