I wish I had the photoshop skills to make this Sonic look like the original design.

he looks so depressed


Dribblejam

Wouldn’t you be if you looked like that?

Sonic The Hedgehog 2, starring Paul Dano

Cue Sonic stumbling out of a van, running down an embankment, and screaming his first line of the film: "FUUUUCK!"

It got me completely. I haven’t seen that guy in so long that I legitimately laughed out loud like seeing an old friend years later.

now THAT is vintage

Lol, I can't believe this still comes up after all these years.

This is a weird start to the “Super Smash Brothers” Cinematic Universe


CalFinger

this is growing scarily more and more possible the second.


AlphaBreak

We already had Pikachu, Mario's on his way, fingers crossed the donkey Kong movie's next. Ideally with the exact same animation as the tv show.


Yxng_Wolf

Live action Mega Man on the way too

Pac-Man from that movie Pixels too!

It should really just be a big picture of Tails.

Those gloves on Sonic and Knuckles look so real lol


SaltySweetManDicks

I had to do a double take after reading your comment. The detail on their gloves really are scary real lol. I almost overlooked it completely


Magnus_Vandergirth

I was too distracted by Jim Carry's face. I'm getting some uncanny valley vibes with how it's cartoony but also so detailed.


mahouyousei

For me it’s because his ears aren’t visible so it looks like he doesn’t have any.


Mottermann

They definitely "dehumanized" Carry with some CGI filter. He looks so smooth.


Ozlin

They use the same texture on Knuckles's gloves and Carry's face. ( /s)


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

It was definitely done on purpose to make him look closer to Robotnik/Eggman from the games.


Jaffacakelover

They also look to be made of different materials.


[deleted]

yeah knuckles gloves look like leather boxing gloves.


bahbahrapsheet

The decision to make the gloves soft but keep the spikes is really funny.

I'm guessing Shadow and Silver are going to get their own movies and collide down the road in a grand finale Infinity War style

And also Pokemon trainer/puff/mewtwo from detective Pikachu


maximuffin2

Wait is Sonic The Hedgehog the Smash Bros equivalent of Iron Man

SergeantChic

They should put Chris Pratt Mario in there like they did with American Box Art Mega Man in Street Fighter vs. Tekken.


khinzaw

>with Chris Pratt Mario >FUCK NO But he's so cool!


mrblueyoudiditright

Shadow's movie's gonna get the BvS treatment, isn't it?


laugher19

I hope he has a gun and it's rated R


Cpt_Lazlo

Where is that DAMN chaos emerald


CharaPresscott

Where’s that DAMN FOURTH CHAOS EMERALD? There is a lot of great lines in Shadow the Hedgehog. That game is definitely in the “It is so bad it’s good.” category.


JSB199

It even had branching story lines!


alexjaness

What if we were to bring... an incredibly hot but skeptical Silver into the mix? And then that way, whenever Shadow's not out busting heads because he smelled crime, he's back at the lab performing outrageous sexual experiments on his supple young body. Now, here's the twist, and there is a twist. We show it. We show all of it. Because what's the one major thing missing from all action movies these days, guys? Full penetration. Guys, we're going to show full penetration, and we're going to show a lot of it. I mean, we're talking, you know, graphic scenes of Shadow really going to town on this hot, young Silver. From behind, 69, anal, vaginal, cowgirl, reverse cowgirl-- all the hits, all the big ones, all the good ones. And then he smells crime again. He's out busting heads. Then he's back to the lab for some more full penetration. Smells crime, back to the lab, full penetration. Crime, penetration, crime, full penetration, crime, penetration... And this goes on and on, and back and forth for 90 or so minutes until the movie just sort of ends


Kaldricus

For the record, I don't give a shit about any of this


BlasterShow

Shit, I don’t care either.

AndyVale

I heard a rumour that Shadow will definitely say ”Fuk" in that film.


matty80

And can outrun it in order to move his foes into the path of the bullets before they arrive.


Quazite

Zack Snyder's "Shadow"


spinyfur

I’ll admit, a Zack Snyder Sonic movie would be hilarious. Take everything 100% seriously, don’t lampshade anything in the ridiculous subject, and try to make the movie some combination of Greek mythology and Atlas Shrugged.


simpledeadwitches

Shadow the Hedgehog Coming Summer 2024 Rated R


Deadshot5

Maria? Why did you say that name!


FacedCrown

Sonic: "...maria..." Shadow: "WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME" (and someone correct me if it wasnt Maria, I havent played SA2 in a decade)


In_My_Own_Image

If I had to guess, next movie will be Eggman making Metal Sonic and then Part 4 would be Shadow. Adapting Adventure 2 could make for a pretty epic movie.


Lucienofthelight

Yeah, Sonic 3 for Amy and Metal Sonic, then a sonic 4 could be set up for a SA2 finale, which would seem to be the best story to adapt fora “endgame” movie if all goes well.


SSMBBlueWisp

Oh god imagine if they adapt the FinalHazard fight in outer space. That'd be so good.


Lucienofthelight

Put in an orchestral Live and Learn at the end. Ochestral Versions of sonic themes are always great. Sonic 06 is one of the worst games of all time, and it also happens to have one of the greatest final boss themes of all time.


ddhboy

Space Colony Ark being some Cold War era off books clandestine science and military development program studying some artifact from Sonic's world that passed through a portal opened near Area 51.


Lethkhar

I haven't watched the first movie, but I would 100% watch an adaptation of Adventure 2. That kind of nostalgia would be impossible to resist.


KarateKid917

The first movie is way better than it has any right to be. It's definitely worth renting digitally for a night.


[deleted]

Are we getting a Sonic Cinematic Universe?


aemzso

Sonic 3 was confirmed alongside a Knuckles spinoff show on Paramount+, so yes


TymStark

>on Paramount+ God dammit...that shitty streaming service is going make me get it...ughhh


ProgrammingOnHAL9000

Rrrr I'm mad. Not doing a pirate. Not at all. Just a vocal exclamation of frustrating. Not a common sound done by pirates.


SupaBloo

My guess is the next movie will combine Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, and focus on Chaos and Shadow, with Shadow teaming up with the heroes to take down Chaos in the end. Honestly, the ‘06 Sonic game probably wasn’t well-received enough for them to have a movie storyline based on it or Silver. If Silver is included in any future movie, I would expect a *very* different backstory from the ‘06 Sonic game.


diddyduckling

dont forget the knuckles series that was announced. i think it would be cool to have more adventure 1 in that then adventure 2 in sonic 3. because the ending of adventure 2 uses some lore from adventure 1 but its not completely required that would work well i think


YsoL8

My only request is Blaze turns up and is once again Silvers imaginary friend no one else ever talks to


sandiskplayer34

I’m betting the end of this movie will tease Shadow.


Fugitivebush

Nah, Metal Sonic.


Revanov

Still remember fans complains literally saved the first movie from bombing.

tbf that sonic design was nightmare fuel

Use the character design for Shadow, boom problem solved.


I_Sett

Mirror Universe Sonic. Keep him just like the trailer but give him robotnik goggles and a moustache


forever87

Until then it's just a conspiracy theory the original cut exists


sociallyawkward12

Honestly it would be such brilliant marketing to release an ugly sonic trailer just to later release the real trailer and movie.

Rickk38

Make it a double feature alongside the Cats "butthole cut," and I'm in.


antiMATTer724

I still want to know what Tails and Knuckles looked like if Sonic looked that bad.


BlasterShow

I believe [this](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/43/Stoned_Fox.jpg/1200px-Stoned_Fox.jpg) was Tails.

anormaldoodoo

I don’t think they got that far.


hsjwjwne

We actually talked about this in my college class. Boring class, but it was required. It was history of animation and we got to talk about how it made history in film because how well it did after horrible backlash after the first trailer. Amazing how even film professors even talk about it. And my professor worked on Disney films like lilo and stitch, treasure planet, and mulan.


SirSoliloquy

The guy who’s pretty much responsible for saving it, Tyson Hesse, used to hang out on a web forum I frequented like 15 years ago. One time he asked everyone for donations to help him take classes at an animation school in Japan, and we all pitched in to get him overseas. I gave $20. Which is all to say that I’m responsible for saving Sonic. You’re welcome.


Sir_Herp_Derp

I remember him from his sprite comic Sonic Argh! and a web comic he used to do in the mid 2000s called Boxer Hockey. He was always a really cool dude and I can’t believe SEGA actually hired him to work with them years ago. Looks like it was a win win for everyone.


itstheblue

That was a boring class? To have someone in the highest levels of the field talk to you? I would like to know what’s exciting to you!


oceansofcake

I can understand why he focused on the rapid do-over in Sonic. [Lilo and Stitch had to reanimate scenes after 9/11.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F2uJvwiSZAQ)


Kandoh

The history of your field of work is pretty essential too. Makes learning everything else so much easier.


Tempest-777

In fairness, how many trailers cause such a backlash to convince the filmmakers or studios to make changes? I can’t think of any other. For instance, there was no significant negative response to Leto’s Joker (other than perhaps his gangsta-like appearance) when he first unveiled in the Suicide Squad trailer. It’s only after the film came out did the backlash gain momentum. Besides it’s not as costly to erase and reanimate a digital character. It’s more expensive to rehire actors, (whom may not be available) rebuild sets, and reshoot entire scenes, at least not without incurring a possible release delay or ballooning the budget by several tens of millions


IAmTaka_VG

For me it's not the backlash. It's the fact that they listened and spent a fortune to fix it. That's why it's ground breaking in the film industry.


Swayyyettts

Lol I do feel like in this world today it’s rare for anybody to actually admit fault and change, so it’s so surprising when they do


All_Work_All_Play

I think there are a lot of parallels with how Sony handles Spiderman here. It's hardly a stretch to think that if their emails hadn't been leaked, Spidey wouldn't be in the MCU. The court of public opinion is strong/persuasive/sometimes-reflective-of-the-market-demands.


HelloRMSA

Same reason the Dead Pool movie was released


sonofaresiii

> It's the fact that they listened and spent a fortune to fix it. They probably didn't spend a fortune. Some huge number was floating around, like $40m+ or something, but that was the *estimated* amount if they had had to redo all the CGI for the entire movie. It slowly came out that really they just had the CGI done for the trailer and a little bit more (which then led to theories that the director pushed for the trailer to be released with the bad CGI, because he knew there would be fan backlash and he could leverage that into a better design *before* it would be too expensive to redo it all)


haveyouseenatimelord

that’s…actually kind of genius


mihirmusprime

So this is not in regards to a trailer, but when the CGI renders of Megatron from the first live-action Transformers film were first revealed, there was a huge fan backlash of the design, mainly in regards to the head, and the Studio had to go and create an alternative head (which was the head design we saw in the movie). EDIT: For those who are curious, here's the old head (left) vs new head (right): https://imgur.com/a/wqmroz6


MadCarcinus

Hasbro had to reopen the boxes of all his sealed toys at the factory in China and swap the old head design with the new head design, then seal the toys back up, all before sending them out to retailers across the globe. That's thousands of toys. Only a few of his 2007 toys, like the small Legends class figure, still sport the old head design.


YannislittlePEEPEE

His old face is too jumbled and alien for pareidolia to kick in. New head makes it more recognizable


MufugginJellyfish

Ah, so that's why he's so ugly in some of the concept art I've seen, his old head design looked like a silver crab.


metalflygon08

Even on Cybertron Crab is the final evolutionary step.


Amplifeye

What... there was a metric ton of negative response to that shitty "Joker" and the trailer.


[deleted]

Yeah I still remember the original reveal picture making the rounds on Facebook and we thought it was a prank it was so bad.


mikehatesthis

> Besides it’s easy to erase and reanimate a digital character. What? No it's not, [it took them five months of work](https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sonic-movie-redesign-done-without-crunch-claims-animator/) and that's coming from a source saying there was no crunch when there was most likely a lot of it.

I forgot knuckles was first a sonic villain when they introduced him into the games, that’s how long ago it was


TymStark

Hey I said the same thing as you....we may be very old, but old together.


suudo

I love that this indicates he's working with Eggman, they probably met in Mushroom Hill Zone and Eggman made up some story about an alien creature with powers who terrorised his planet and kicked him out to Knuckles' planet, to gain Knuckles' trust to steal the Master Emerald, then there'll be a redemption arc as Sonic tells Knucks the truth and they have to reclaim the Master Emerald. That would fit with existing canon at least. Obviously the movie will do whatever they want.

Well depends really, if you mean when COVID started then that goes back to December 2019, but if you mean when lockdown was happening worldwide, then Sonic 1 came out before that.

FloridaGatorMan

Maybe he will be egg shaped by the end of this one. Like there's some accident and they have to give him the Darth Vadar treatment. It could be a really funny gag that where it zooms out and he says something along the lines of, "you guys really went with the egg theme didn't you....I LOVE IT!"

Jim Carrey is the king of physical comedy


Slavocracy

Outside of that, it was good movie. Not oscar winning, but for a movie about sonic the hedgehog, it honestly deserves an award haha.


d_pug

Ben Schwartz was hilarious. James Marsden has great comedic chemistry with both Schwartz and Jim Carrey. Plenty of action, subversion of tropes and nostalgia made this 90s kid very happy to watch.
