... even if it's unfaithful?

Also, ...

Spoiler:

Stop it, Paramount. Just ... ugh.

Those look really good. We haven’t even seen this sonic yet though.

True, but going by the teaser image it's obvious we're getting a radical new design that nothing the game version.

If Pokémon can be faithfully translated to live action while retaining their iconic designs from the games, then there's no reason the same couldn't be applied to Sonic.

[Papenbrook]

This will go down as one of the worst films of all time.

Let us count the days ...

-------

That reminds me ...

I'm worried about Schwartz's role in particular. He has a low-pitched voice and a limited range. He ... just doesn't seem like a good choice for Sonic.

He seems like a miscast. However, if the voice directing, scripting, and editing are workable, then I can easily see him being a decent voice actor.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, his Leo voice isn't very good either. (His voice [ low-pitched, heavy-inflected ] just doesn't fit the character.)

So, in summary:

Now I'm VERY nervous.

And he's the current voice of Leonardo. So you gotta get used to that too.

I ... am used to that ...

I was just questioning his take on Sonic.

If I had a dime for every time you point out things that we already know, I'd be rich.

Seriously we need a mod to change his name from Tigerclaw to Captain Obvious

Maybe he'll be a good Sonic. Just gotta give it the benefit of the doubt on this one. I'm used to Jaleel White being Sonic. But the current voice actor from the Video Games is also good too.

Or Mr. Sherlock Shell for Brains.

He hasn't been Sonic for a long time now. We need to let go of this.

Nah. He'll always be my Sonic.

Nostalgia is a powerful tool.

Still gotta complain though, even though there isn't a trailer.

First you say "no", then you get outta there.

^ Okay, that made me laugh. Thank you.

So, according to one of the confirmed writers, this movie won't have any fart jokes.

(At least, I hope so ...)

[Leo656]

...I hadn't considered that there might be, and am kind of concerned about how they felt this needed specific confirmation.

[Papenbrook]

I guess many thought that this film would try "too hard" to appeal to children.

Would you fully boycott the film if they had fart jokes in them?

That was something that was done a little too much in the recent TMNT films, so I'm glad that I won't be seeing that.
