If you are a movie fanatic like me, then you might have heard of the new Sonic trailer that came out a couple of weeks ago. Paramount Pictures and Blur Studios have a pretty decent record of producing good quality movies over time, but this is the first time that I think they have finally messed up now. My first initial reaction to the trailer was not too bad, it seemed like an okay movie but one thing that was completely off was the design of Sonic himself.
We all know the iconic Sonic, big eyes pointy years, small belly, and big red shoes. But the sonic shown in the new live-action trailer was humiliating to the CGI animators. He was made to be more realistic which disappointed many fans. He had small eyes, a bigger stomach, smaller ears, thicker legs, and not so big hands. He looked like a real hedgehog and not the one we all know of because if you see his design, it does not look like he is fast.
The whole trailer was just simply comedy and not too much action which bothered me a little bit. I expected it to be a remaster of the old show, but instead this new Sonic his clumsy and just makes corny jokes in my opinion. Dr. Eggman does not seem to be the one I’ve always known like I know he is supposed to be realistic and all, but he is supposed to be fat and clumsy, but we see in the trailer that his characters and personalities are not at all similar to the original version in my opinion.
There were some flaws to the trailer, as in Sonic being able to dodge like a hundred missiles in a second, but is unable to dodge a tranquility dart. If anyone has noticed. The studio announced a complete redesign, to me, that’s is just going to cost a whole lot more money and the movie is expected to release in November, which I’m not sure if they can properly accomplish in time. I just don’t understand why they would even come up with that design in the first place, there wouldn’t be all of this talk and trouble if they had just stuck to the original design that everyone loves. But, I’m not complaining, because at least they are trying and I am looking forward to seeing how it all plays out. Peace. ✌️
