People Are Loving Sonic’s Redesign In The New ‘Sonic The Hedgehog’ Trailer

In this darkest timeline of ours, it’s rare to find something, especially on social media, that brings people together. Something that everyone can make fun of. The Sonic the Hedgehog trailer was that something. It was deemed an immediate disaster — why is it set to Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise” Why does Sonic have human teeth Uh, meow

The trailer was so widely mocked that director Jeff Fowler tweeted that the movie’s release was going to be pushed back, from November 2019 to February 2020, so Sonic could be redesigned in response to the audience backlash. “Thank you for the support. And the criticism,” he wrote. “The message is loud and clear… you aren’t happy with the design and you want changes. It’s going to happen. Everyone at Paramount and Sega are fully committed to making this character the BEST he can be.” Did they succeed

Based on the early reactions, well, it’s nice when we come together to praise things, too.
