I finally saw the trailer. Wasn't impressed. Found it fun and silly, just how I like it.
I don't like Sonic having teeth, as the rest of him is decent otherwise. Eggman being slim is a bit strange, admittedly. The lack of gloves definitely hurts Sonic's design, but he still feels overall like a more realistic Sonic to me.
I'll probably go see it in the theaters. Depends if the next trailer is fun like this one is. I do find the electricity thing being a bit weird, but it's more about traction creating electricity than applying his own in-series element, so it isn't that bothersome to me. Speed and lightning do go hand in hand at times. Beyond that, I was never bothered by the idea of him meeting up in another dimension of Earth, as I grew up with the idea that Mobius and Earth were separate things. It's not the official canon, but I have a hard time being bothered by it when it wasn't a consistent thing among the entire franchise. I'd rather it take liberties than just being 100% canon if it can make the story more interesting. Though I do worry about the story, cause it so far looks... kind of boring. That said, Jim Carrey looks great, though yeah, he feels more like himself than Eggman, no questioning that. I was already off put by all the realistic Pokemon designs in Detective Pikachu, as they creeped me out a bit, so I can't honestly say that Sonic design really bothers me severely. Honestly? It looks a bit more realistic and doesn't creep me out nearly as much. Though it doesn't mean I think Detective Pikachu would be worse. It still looks overall like a better movie from the trailers, at least. I'll have to see both and judge. I'm more likely going to like Detective Pikachu more, though. But I won't know till it happens.
