Sonic The Hedgehog (2019)

[MT 917]

Holy shit.

 

 

[webhead 519]

It is exactly as bad as expected.

 

Sadly the movie itself could be okay but Sonic's design is just too fucking awful to get over.  They've ruined it completely.  They should scrap the entire thing, redo all the CG with a better design, and release the movie after that because seriously...it's awful.  It doesn't look better in motion.

But dude, he's gotta go fast. Also, you wouldn't see his genesis if you avoided this movie.

Doesn't mean a thing if he doesn't eat a single Chili Dog in the entire movie. 

[Mera'din 308]

Kill it with fire.  

 

He's not human sized at least, but why does he have to have human proportions then? They had one fucking job and they fucked it up. The rest of it would still probably be bad too, but that's the one thing they needed to NOT fuck up.

who decided to put Gangsta's Paradise in this I Just Want to Talk

Love me some Jim Carry but kill it with fire

The dark corners of the Furry communities will have their kinks pleased.

[Anelle 794]

Are you kidding? The furries are furr-ious huehuehueheuheuahrg;vlbqwte34;hnsrgynjsxfmnrmxz rh ngcxjvmj,dctgj,.cjf.

[Revolver 27]

Oh shit Carey is going full Carey again. Its been a while since I’ve seen that.

 

Even with the bad design not a single second of that trailer was enjoyable to watch.

[Hikageryu 35]

I have to echo the sentiment from YongYea. Basically said "Y'all fuckers need Jesus."  

[MT 917]

[Anelle 794]

i mean honestly that works so much better for that still

[Galeigh 308]

[MT 917]

 

[Vic Boss 612]

TBH I'm more upset that Sanic's random human actor buddy that they shoehorned into the movie is not named "Miles."

[Mera'din 308]

Missed opportunity.

#gottafixfast  

[webhead 519]

I'm genuinely surprised they're going to do it.  Wow.  That's a level of self reflection you just don't expect from anyone in Hollywood.

 

They may have actually realized the movie was going to bomb fucking hard otherwise lol.

[Galeigh 308]

I call BS. They won't fix anything. 

[Vic Boss 612]

So you're saying using the name Miles is back on the table

Yeah, that'll work out well. "We'll try to fix it, we promise. Just kidding!"

[Vic Boss 612]

They'll put Jim Carrey in a fat suit and everything will be all right

[Galeigh 308]

The 'fix' will be some minor tweaks that will be barely noticable or completely unrelated to the actual problem. 

 

That way they can get people in the seats while saying they did 'something' after doing essentially nothing. 

 

Fixed or not though, this movie is gonna be a dumpster fire. 

[Vic Boss 612]

If the movie does well, can we skip Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 and Knuckles and just go straight to Shadow the Hedgehog

[Galeigh 308]

>implying they won't jump straight to edgelord if this movie is successful. 

[Vic Boss 612]

What if the fix is swapping out Sanic for Shadow

i will see it 15 times in theaters if they do that

I'm legitimately fucking crying at the top comment

The real question is will it actually be good when they "fix" it or will it still be nightmare fuel?  I dunno.  Could go either way.  They fucked it up so badly the first time that it's hard to trust they even know how to fix it.

[Jane 100]

I really hope they pay the animators well for having to change several key bits of the main character in presumably a tight turnaround time... #fixitfast

 

(though if anyone wants a much cuter story about hedgehogs then you know where to look, haha )

[webhead 519]

Yeah I do feel really bad for the people that are going to have to crunch time all over this shit.  Sounds like they're going to get a taste of what video game devs have to deal with all the time and that sounds like cancer.

[Anelle 794]

Just give him animal teeth and leave the rest. It's not salvageable otherwise unless they have an untapped budget resource. The time to get opinions and make a huge change passed ages ago design wise.

[Revolver 27]

 

or just no teeth? Just do whatever they’re doing for Detective Pikachu.

Yeah one problem is that the body proportions are wrong so that will be harder to fix.  Still they can fix the face (bigger eyes) and the nightmarish fucking human teeth.

[Anelle 794]

Hedgehog teeth are cute! They're supposed to be pointy! People still think Rocket is cute even though he's a pointy little asshole. 

 

And yeah, changing the eyes would help a lot but if they just fixed the teeth to be less horrifying it'd be a major difference.

They already do. I play Overwatch with a person who works for an animation studio that specifically does work for the 3D versions of movies. They just had horrifying crunch time for work they did on Endgame. She was MIA for like 2 months. At the end of it, some people apparently stayed for 48 hours straight to finish work on it. This is all after they were never given their yearly merit raises. They finally had a meeting about it this week and were told they were going to "get to it" sometime this month finally (normally done in Jan. ) and that it would not be retroactive.

God the entertainment industry is fucking awful all around.  I don't know why anyone does it.  It seems like slavery.  Fuck that noise.  Passion is just what these companies use to exploit their workers.

[Galeigh 308]

The art industry as a whole has that problem. Too many people got this dumbshit idea in their head that it's all just a hobby and not a real job. 

[webhead 519]

Movie is being delayed to give more time to the redesign.

 

That's nice.  Not going to kill all the poor VFX people.

[Tassifox 418]

At least they're trying to be smart about this. Key word is try.

[webhead 519]

 

Welp.  Just hire this guy.

[Tassifox 418]

Legit. When the fans can make better shit than hollywood, you know you have a problem.

[MT 917]

Now the biggest travesty in this trailer is the god awful Blitzkrieg Bop cover.

 

 

[webhead 519]

I am genuinely impressed by how much better that looks.

 

Quick little comparison:

 

[Tassifox 418]

Totally looks wayyyyyyyyyyy better. I'm glad they actually listened to the fan base and took the time to fix things.
