Nah I say they could’ve easily translated Sonic’s in game design to the big screen
I’d rather have an off putting accurate design than have what we got
Even if it didn’t translate as well, if it was accurate at the very least there would be zero complaining if you were a Sonic fan
This is just the result of Sega giving it’s property to Paramount with 100% creative control and no one from Sega to oversee production
The Mario Movie coming out next year is a good example, it’s being made by Illumination and Nintendo is said to be heavily involved in the production so as not to have a movie studio present Mario in any other way than what Nintendo says is right
Even the creator of Sonic himself came out and bashed the design
This whole thing is a big wash
