I'm no Pokemon expert even though I still follow developments of the anime, to me the franchise ended with Ash winning the Orange Islands and then the world in Pokemon 2000..that being said I felt far more for the Detective Pikachu trailers than I felt anything for this.

Yes. Yes I would. In the immortal words of George Carlin: "Not every ejaculation needs a name."

As for a "good" Sonic movie? It would certainly have to be all-animated or all-CGI. Definitely not live action.

*ZariusTwo* · 04-30-2019, 04:03 PM

The best Sonic movie is 25 minutes long and is called "The Doomsday Project"

This looks SO much worse than I thought it would, holy crap. Wow.

I’m not a big Sonic fan nowadays, but this looks awful. Trailer isn’t as bad as I thought it would be, though.

*The Deadman* · 04-30-2019, 04:33 PM

I know about the Sonic lore. Because I used to play the original games. Watched all the cartoons in the 90s. I know more about Sonic than Pokemon. So I'll be able to pick out all the easter eggs and references than with Detective Pikachu. I know very little about Pokemon lore. and I'm only limited that by playing Pokemon Go. But Sonic is something I know.

If Sonic is from another Planet. I hope its Mobius. The planet he's from from OG Sonic lore of the 90s era. Which was also done in the Archie comics.

I think the movie will do well with kids, it'll be able to ride the Detective Pikachu fur video game wave and youtubers will make plenty of money complaining about how crappy it is. As I mentioned I think the movie will be fun.

True Story: I just now showed my wife the trailer, and as soon as it was over she un-muted Family Guy, and at that exact moment Peter Griffin proclaimed, "Ladies and Gentlemen... THAT, was a fart."

Terrific. Terrific.

You only know of Sonic during the 90s and not the 2000s, which is not enough "knowledge". Hardly either of those eras are going to be represented in this film and you're lying to yourself if you think there will be. Easter Eggs are just their way of throwing us a bone of references.

I played Sonic Adventure 1 and 2. As well as Sonic Generations.

How much knowledge of the 2000 era do you need to have to watch this film? They don't seem to be using any characters outside Sonic and Robotnik.

Trailer was better than I thought and I really like how Sonic looks but I’ll admit it was a bit strange at first. We’re just so used to the game design.

Although some people decided a long time ago to be against this no matter what so it’s not even an actual discussion at that point.

I was right about the rings changing size and the portals but anyone could have figured that out.

They gave him socks after all. I’m glad his shoes are kinda more traditional. Wearing out all the shoes from so much running was a cool joke. I guess the Nike’s were just a concept. I didn’t see a logo.

Is it just me or was the missile part a nod to his foot tap 4th wall break when you leave the game untouched? Seemed like it.

I loved Jim Carrey especially at the end. That’s gotta be mushroom hill right?

Like you didn't decide to love this no matter what? Be for real, leading up to this trailer, what exactly was there for anyone to get excited over? It's been one bad thing after another, and this trailer only confirms our doubts.

*Wildcat* · 05-01-2019, 03:26 AM

I’ll admit I’ve been really excited for it but unlike those who were against it I never claimed it was going to be amazing and stating it as a matter of fact.

The trailer is the first legitimate piece of work released. Everything else was an unfinished leak or teaser. There was nothing to go on but people’s assumptions.

*Papenbrook* · 05-01-2019, 06:25 AM

I know that Sonic had slowly morphed into a hollow shell of his former self, but ... come on, Paramount. You should know better already.

You had two other tries; you should have learned by your third try.

So you're settling, which is worse.

Detective Pikachu is going to change the game for the way video game movies are handled, this is just another typical example of following the formula and it's not going to suddenly be the exception to the rule.

What is it about that trailer that makes it "better than you thought?" for heaven's sake man, elaborate.

I agree with him! He was one of my tophenchmen and even my second in command for a while so i agree with what he says! Sonic 1on sega game gear was my first video game that i played in 1994. Since then i became a gamer and i have played most sonic games and i will continue playing all of them!

*Papenbrook* · 05-01-2019, 01:04 PM

Apparently, Riff Raff is gonna have a minor role in the upcoming flick.

I never heard of him.
