[Allio]

Shame it still looks like a garbage movie.

Sure some just hate on stuff for fun and then there’s those who don’t hate but will complain so much about Hollywood in general.

I’ve heard the usual stuff over and over about so many things. How they don’t care and it’s better to support fan content because it’s not some shill job.

Fans do stuff because they love movies. What If they get jobs at a big studio? Do they become corporate shills that don’t care? That whole notion is just stupid.

As for this there are people who do genuinely care but their reactions were not very nice. Like I said they should have released the posters first. Honestly who can NOT buy this as Sonic?



Except for gloves that’s a pretty good adaptation of what he’d could look like in real life. He reminds me of some of his more human-ish comic characters.

If you don’t like his face or body ok...but I’ve seen so many people ask for gloves and apparently they’re coming but he still has hands under them. You can’t be against hands. Do people just pretend his gloves are hands because it’s “too weird” to think of them?

I don't like his design but I like even less that enough whining on the internet can actually cause a movie to be delayed.

You say this after saying that this movie could beat out Detective Pikachu in box office? That sorta goes against your belief. The target audience is indeed children but they won't be nearly enough to help the film in that regard. Knowing Sonic fans, they're going to watch this film whether they're against it or not because that's what they do.

Word. This will do nothing but hurt creator-freedom on projects. Now focus groups and audience testing will play even more of a part in the production phase.

I'm just watching the movie for the change of Sonic's design

I gotta see if I like it or not

I just hope Sonic's design is good

[snake]

If there's any reason to watch this, it'll be for Jim Carrey.

That's pretty much their fault. If that was the design they were really gonna go with, the one some Hollywood type actually looked at and approved, they deserve all the backlash that they got for being so stupid.

Either that or have them go create their own character instead of bastardizing a pre-existing one.

It doesn't go against my belief. Granted beating out Detective Pikachu might've been an outlandish claim and maybe not realistic but I stand by it. Being more profitable I can say that's more realistic.

Manchildren going to the cinemas did not help Detective Pikachu and tons of kid only movies with no appeal to "geek culture" do just fine, even if they're revivals, look at the Alvin, Smurfs and others that are also based on old properties yet no fandom of those IPs went to see the movies, only kids. If we talk about adults, the autistic Sonic fans will go see the movie regardless, the youtubers/click bait sites will go just to crap on it, casual sonic fans were not going to watch the movie no matter what so this delay does nothing, it's only costing the studio more money which hurts the chances of it making its money back.

Yeah, of course people like you would support **** like that and not see the bigger picture.

Perhaps very tellingly, the third Smurfs movie was made more for the fans (classic animation designs, no humans beyond Gargamel) and bombed.

Alvin does have a fanbase

Albeit a bad and cancerous one at most

[Coola Yagami]

Also, did anyone really want a Smurfs movie? They were most likely also burnt by the 2 previous live action ones to care about the third.

I actually went to the first Chipmunks in theaters. Saw it with my sister because she liked them growing up. We both did.

We both thought the movie was fine. It was entertaining and they were cute. It got 2 more so I’m sure it did well enough.

Box office or perceived (online) perception are nothing to go by. Overall popularity (like I’ve said naysayers are just more vocal), home release and merchandise are important factors.

It’s why I’m never surprised to see any supposed “flop” get a sequel. Even without backlash I’m sure Sonic would have done fine. Probably better now.

I got 3 sequels. How could you forget, The Road Chip?

[TigerClaw]

I hope the movie gets sequels. Because i would love to see Metal Sonic and Shadow.
