Man hard to believe Detective Pikachu will finally revive live-action video game movie adaptations for a whole 6 months just for Sonic to come along and murder them again.

I believe they want to test how hardcore Sonic fans are. They crave for the Sonic 06 fanbase.

you have to wonder if this team saw the Detective Pikachu trailer and there was a long moment of uncomfortable silence before they looked at each other, wordlessly sharing the realization that they were going to have to release their monstrosity in the shadow of someone who'd Actually Done It Right

Even if you grant the horrific design, it’s like they tried to find the middle space between doing Sonic as campy comedy and doing it straightforward with a winking 'cool' hero and came up short on both.

“Let’s use ‘gangsta’s paradise’ in a trailer where a cop is a good guy” is somehow not the most tasteless thing about this movie :psygum:

I hope Sonic goes to jail. I know you can't send hedgehogs to jail but this is a satan not a hedgehog.

I'm tired of the cliche where someone stumbles on an odd creature and they both scream.

I keep waiting for a movie to be so bad that it kills live-action CG hybrid movies forever the way Home on the Range killed hand-drawn animation. But it never does. Despite almost every single one of them being worse than that movie was.

I actually rather liked the designs in that movie. The story itself, not so much.

detective pikachu is probably going to reassure people that live-action CG hybrid movies are where the money is, resulting in a ton of copycats completely oblivious to other factors in DP's success like how the CG isn't completely off-base

any animation genre whatsoever is going to suffer from people without any soul seeing the ones that Do It Right and thinking they can just cargo-cult their way to greatness, like Pacific Islanders building a radio control tower out of toilet humor and Veggietales-tier character designs. Even pure CGI has a huge gulf between Frozen/Zootopia/Inside Out caliber and whatever the fuck Boss Baby is

And yet isn't it suspicious that one stinker of a movie in one genre was enough to persuade all of Hollywood to cancel it forever yet garbage movie after garbage movie in another has no such effect

You can't kill Sonic, even if the world had a bunch of comets hurling towards it now he'd survive.

My current running theory is that all the people working on this production realized that there was no way this was ever going to be a good movie, so they just decided to go whole hog and deliberately make the movie as terrible as possible to see just how far they could go with it.

:3: This is Pikachu. Before going for a drive he straps himself in, and talks quietly in the back seat, so as not to distract the driver.

:offendash: This is Sonic. He stands on the front seat without a seatbelt and distracts the driver with his loud talking.
