November is a scary month. It gave us Trump and now this.

The whole movie is an uncanny valley replicant of a late 80s, early 90s “earthling encounters cheeky, overpowered, misunderstood and hunted-by-government-forces otherwordly creature” movie, featuring a fittingly uncanny-valley familiar-but-somehow-off Jim Carrey character too…

The four seconds of Sonic limbering up, while the camera pans tenderly across his taut-yet-furry blue physique, are the reason this movie was made.

The production designers were faced with a challenge: in a live action/CGI adaptation of Sonic the Hedgehog do you base his design on the appearance of the video game character or on the appearance of an actual hedgehog?
They went with option C: cursed sports mascot costume

I was willing to hold judgement until seeing how the um, unique Sonic design looked running around, talking, etc. But man, it’s bad. His small lady eyes, his weird human baby teeth, his skinny little kid legs… I mean, seriously. Put this in your movie. Not that.

Y’all can all be haters but I’m looking forward to getting stupid drunk and watching this on Netflix in two years.

I’m mildly puzzled by the use of Gangsta’s Paradise on the soundtrack, but not so interested that I will give it any more thought.

The wild thing about this is that of the venn circles intentionally targeted by this movie, one is absolutely the extremely-online queer-ish furry porno Sonic fandom. I don’t know if they actually like it but it definitely has them in mind. I suspect that most of them are in too deep to tolerate even the slightest veering from their amazing headcanons but who knows?

I like the rings replacing the stars on the Paramount logo… but that’s pretty much it; oh, and referencing the Sega Genesis… but that’s definitely it… not a great return on a $90,000,000 budget.
