  1. Wouldn’t giving her human hair be a good way of mitigating the uncanny valley effect?
  2. https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2490669/some-sonic-the-hedgehog-toys-still-have-the-hated-original-character-design This is currently our only indication of what Baby Sonic originally would’ve looked like.
  3. That wasn’t the only movie he worked on. I was referring to stuff like Dawn of the Dead (2004) and Super. Anyway, it should be noted that the live action Scooby Doo movie was actually supposed to be a raunchy parody of the franchise, before WB insisted on toning it down for kids. Even then, the movie wasn’t devoid of some dirty jokes that you wouldn’t expect from the Scooby Doo franchise.
  4. James Gunn was involved in some pretty edgy movies before the MCU hired him.
  5. If nothing else, Sonic has probably always been a more talked about franchise than most of the properties over at Nintendo. Sure, the games don’t do as well as a lot of the stuff that Nintendo puts out, but they’ve always been more fascinating to discuss (for better or worse) than something like the Mario franchise.
  6. Why do you say it will do well in Japan? Not only do American adaptations of Japanese properties often not do well over there, but Sonic has never been all that popular in Japan to begin with.
  7. How many people still watch the anime compared to the number of people who still play the games? The anime exists to promote the video games, not the other way around.
  8. It’s a stretch to say that most people think of the anime when they think of Pokémon. The Pokémon franchise makes most of its revenue through games and merchandise.
  9. It’s not a Top Critic site. For whatever reason, as of yesterday, every critic is listed as a “Top Critic” on RT now, even if they don’t count towards the Top Critic score.
  10. It didn’t underperform in the United States. It surpassed expectations with over $300 million.
  11. “Explicitly queer” doesn’t sound like something they’d do. They wouldn’t want to risk pissing off China.
  12. It’s weird that this movie generated more backlash from the right than Joker did.
  13. Never mind. People involved with the film have said that it will be more of a comedy. I’m gonna be honest here, I can’t say I have much interest in that. I’m pretty tired of goofy R-rated superhero movies at this point.
  14. Hasn’t James Gunn already suggested that this movie won’t be a comedy?
  15. The low ratings aren’t surprising. The show dragged on for way too long. The Academy needs to get the message that people don’t want to spend three and a half hours watching an awards show.
