At least Mean Bean Machine was a gentler game compared to Sonic Spinball, even though I've yet to complete either game.

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

What two other Sonic things has Paramount done?

I prefer Kirby's Avalanche.

He's referring to the duo of Teenage Mutant Ninja Travesties.

I was only referring to their takes on the Transformers and TMNT franchises.

Both are known to have ... designs that aren't exactly well-received. I will just leave it at that.

Sonic in live action is a thing that shouldn't work, when that was announced as real I was flabbergasted but when we saw the leaked Sonic he looked exactly like some of the Pokemon in Detective Pikachu, I realized they understood a live action sonic couldn't work unless it was something different. It's a comedy/action film and I'm sure it'll be a lot more fun than any type of serious Sonic movie could've been. yeah, it looks like it'll be cheesy but it's a movie for kids, not adults and kids will be able to like the cheesyness. If you can overlook that it looks like it'll have enough jokes to have fun with it.

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

Ok. I was thinking the trailer would keep things to a minimum and only show Sonic once to satisfy people’s curiosity. I also thought it was going to rely more on comedy than action.

Nobody has to believe me but I’m not settling. I genuinely think the it looks like it’ll be a fun movie. What exactly should I (we) have expected instead? It’s his first movie. Something other than Sonic vs Robotnik?

I’m actually seeing less hate towards it than I thought there’d be which is nice. Like I said once a long time ago naysayers are typically the most vocal about stuff that’s why you see it more.

I know its not for everyone. I’ve seen some negative reactions that did not go overboard. It’s fine. When people outright trash (anything) that’s when I stop taking it seriously.

I can not imagine myself making a video to rip on something. It’s ridiculous to me that’s a thing. I think most here know I’m really open to movies/tv in general so I’m not just defending this because it’s Sonic. I defend a lot of stuff.

I completely agree, but I also feel the same way about people who make videos gushing about things. I can't believe that "reaction videos" are a thing, let alone a thing some people get paid for. Talk about a complete waste of one's life.

Although I guess obsessively watching them is worse, maybe, I'unno.

My feelings about 95% of the stuff people post to YouTube is, essentially, "Holy sh*t, that person has entirely too much free time and nothing worthwhile to fill it with."

But yeah, "reaction videos" are of particular annoyance to me.

I think they only mean anything if you actually value other peoples' opinions. And I think we all know how I feel about THAT!

*Wildcat* · 05-02-2019, 01:42 AM

Well I watched a bunch yesterday for the fun of it and some were pretty fair towards the movie. Not really praising it or trashing it either way.

Some users are actually objective and give well formed opinions on things even if they might want to really unload sometimes. Those are the channels I usually stick to.

What annoys me is when people admit they’re not really into something to begin with (which is fine) but go on to say why something looks horrible. Why did you bother then?

I also feel like some of them were not really “first time” reactions. It looked like they had watched the trailer before and planned to be “shocked” at certain parts. Some do it to be funny I guess but it comes off like they’re just messing around.

You're absolutely settling. You act like its biggest problem is that it's Sonic vs Robotnik, when nobody has criticized that at all. But the fact that you feel the need to justify any issue with "it's his first movie" just means you're willing to settle because you shouldn't expect much. Which by the way, being his first movie is no excuse for why it should be terrible.

A lot of the "big name" reactors are access media shills who get invited to premieres and thus don't want to say anything to "rock the boat", some of them are also out of touch casuals...for example, Tyrone Magnus liked it, but admitted he hadn't played Sonic since the second game and is only interested in this for Jim Carrey.

This. A lot of the positive and more hyperbolic reactions are also very tellingly put on.

*Wildcat* · 05-02-2019, 02:22 AM

Turo602- I know I probably shouldn’t respond to this response but...ok. ZariusTwo specifically asked me so I’m just wondering what should have been excepted instead as far as the plot goes.

Nobody really expected to get a bunch of the different characters, villains, zones and overall lore in his very first movie. It’s just doesn’t work that way. General audiences (which are a factor) would be lost.

Popular franchises don’t start at a 1000% right from the beginning. Especially when it’s based on a pre-existing series. It’s adapting.

Design aside what should have been the storyline? I really want to know? Even the first game was just Sonic vs Robotnik.

*Papenbrook* · 05-02-2019, 05:30 AM

Ooooh boy, Benny Boy ....

I think he looks pretty good on that poster. Sonic's face looks fine as long as you don't have the camera down-up to his face

*Wildcat* · 05-02-2019, 06:28 AM

Ya that poster is awesome. I mean looks he good except for that one screaming part.

Easter Egg-ish. I don’t know. At the very end when the screen is scrambling we see Robotnik’s glove. The buttons kinda look like the genesis controller. I have a strong feeling one of his vehicles will be called the Mega Drive.

Spoiler:

Also throughout the trailer all of Robotnik’s machines light up red except in the desert scene. It’s blue and fires a blue laser. Must be using Sonic’s quill to upgrade and power his weapons. He still has a quill at the very end when he’s got the full look.

*Papenbrook* · 05-02-2019, 03:40 PM

Here's another awfully atrocious poster.

Spoiler:

Just, ... fix his face, fix his head, fix his legs - fix EVERYTHING!

*Andrew NDB* · 05-02-2019, 05:42 PM

lol... apparently they're going to completely revamp his look due to public outcry.

What wimps.

Looks like this is tmnt 2014 all over again, with the movie being changed because of angry fans.

Don't expect anything drastic. Most of the criticism has to do with the face. They are just gonna fix it a little.
