John Marston Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 usually movies that become memes before they come out usually end up being a hit so good news for Sonic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they actually change the look of Sonic in a future trailer/marketing for the movie, that could buy a decent amount of good will domestically. Also says that whatever research they had on hand really backed up the Twitter backlash. 😁 Edited May 2, 2019 by Porthos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaze Heatnix Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 So, is the movie getting delayed? PS: It seems Jeff has had feedback for a long time and this trailer is showing a old draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJG Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) Trash. I hate this redesign news. I hate the precedent it sets. Movies are now dictated by online man-babies that are far too old for this shit in the first place. “We must appease the ign comment section” is not the way that films should be made. What will the man babies cry about next? Will Hollywood listen to them? Edited May 2, 2019 by AJG 4 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Wonder if this was planned. Release the first trailer, and have it go viral for how awful it is. Follow that up with a redesigned trailer which is guaranteed to go viral as people see how things changed, and hopefully gain some goodwill from the redesign. Now you have a ton of free marketing for your movie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just sounds like a Justice League situation all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this, mostly because the precedent being set can lead down a dangerous path if it's over something less innocuous than a character's design.

Now you have a ton of free marketing for your movie. Someone is about to get an absolute shit ton of calls from merchandise companies and licensees (and the film has a Christmas release slot. Its a bloody mess). Whatever toy company is invested in this movie is absolutely seething right now (which leads me to believe any ‘redesign’ won’t be that drastic).

CoolioD1 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 this was definitely all planned. studios love it when they look like they don't know what the hell they're doing. bad press drives ticket sales, as we all know. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porthos Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) I mean, I actually think listening to wide-spread blowback like this might benefit them in a comeback narrative sort of way (and don't kid yourselves, they wouldn't be doing this if it was 'just' man-babies crying on the internet). But you know what might have benefitted them more? NOT SETTING THE GIANT PILE OF MONEY ON FIRE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
