I don't mind the mix but Elise is such a bland and boring character tbh.
I can agree with that.

Oh Lord. It looks like they're changing Sonic's signature speed for this upcoming flick.

Here's some key quotes/highlights:

What ... in ... the ... F-

“We had some time to figure out the speed: What it looks like, what it feels like for a character to do that and how it relates to our world. It took a little trial and error, but that’s animation in figuring out what the effect looks like and what it does to the rest of the world around it. The speed changes over time because he evolves, because he can’t do everything at the beginning of the movie. It’s finding the visual language and figuring out how it’s going to evolve over time.”


Oh my God! Realistic?!

This film won't even break even. It's going to be a massive mega-flop.

Nah, kids will dig it. It will probably be terrible, but little kids will love it because it's Sonic in a movie. And a few diehards who've waited their whole life to see it, and don't really care if it's any good. People with names like LigerJaw.

Also, over the years Sonic's speed has been "officially" listed at anywhere from as low as 767 MPH (at his "average" running speed) to around 4000 MPH, according to various game manuals. Furthermore, he's been explicitly described as traveling briefly at Light Speed in a few games, with assistance. So there's been described "limits" put in place historically already, but ultimately, he's always exactly as fast as the story needs him to be.

There's definitely gonna be a lot of problems with this movie, but I'unno if this is anything worth getting hung up on.

I'm sure it means Sonic might learn to build up his speed in the movie. This could be an origin movie, or it could use some excuse that Earth physics mess with his speed.

I'm sure the realistic part means they'll make the world around him properly react to something that fast running around, so Sonic doesn't look like a cut out character photshopped in.

So, there will be some merchandise that'll be based on (off) this film.

Spoiler:




It won't sell anything.

Ah so Toy Factory is a company that makes products and stuff toys for Amusement Parks. So we can expect a stuff toy of Movie Sonic sometime this year. I hope even get a leak of the toys this year.

Cool. Might confirm some other characters since it’s unlikely they’d only make Sonic and Eggman toys/plushies.

If this movie was done in the 90s, Jeffery Jones would had been Robotnik.

Too bad he went on to become a registered sex offender.

Then, they might as well delay the whole damn thing.

There isn't any point in making this film. Let it die.

What do you want? Video game sonic cut and pasted onto a live action scene? That would look stupid.

Gee... almost like they should just make an animated movie instead, right?

They are not gonna delay the movie. When it comes out in November. We are just 10 months away from the release.

Would probably be a million times better than the CGI bastardization we're likely to end up with.

Then, may you let this movie die in its own fire.

If you want a cheesy cartoon sonic, go watch the old cartoons. Typically you don’t reboot a franchise and just recycle the original version. It’s lazy, and in this case, would look goofy as hell.

Tell that to the Pokémon in the Detective Pikachu film. At least they actually look like they were torn straight from the games.
