I wonder if the franchise would’ve survived with ugly sonic. Also, does this count as “a good video game movie”? I thought those didn’t exist.

I’ll say, after a decade or more of the Sonic property languishing in bad game after bad game…
Fuck, thank goodness these guys got their hands on the property so at least we got some fun movies out of it and people freaking out over the reveal of Shadow with a gun. Possibly the only time you might ever be happy seeing “He has a gun” trending online.

With how much it would have cost to delay the film by 3 month and reanimate the face, I’d doubt it.

It was, but the Internet feels better believing the expected backlash achieved something

I wonder if we are going to get Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie: The Game.
If we ever do, then someone needs to mod in first trailer Sonic in.
