Questions
YOOOO I’m back up on it with my comic making bullshit.
I have two things to apologize for. First the random and completely unplanned hiatus. I did a post explaining what was going on a few weeks ago. I didn’t want that to happen, and I can’t promise it won’t again. But I’m making progress and am adjusting my habits and routines to re-allow working on the comic into my life.
Secondly, I must apologize for the abrupt change from the story arc we were right smack in the middle of. After the Comic Con Badge Sale story arc is completed, this comic will be moved to after, so as to make it less random for those reading through, or anyone who reads it a second time.
I just really wanted to talk some shit on Sonic the Hedgehog’s movie trailer. From the creepy af character design to Jim Carrey returning from his anti-vaxxer loving exile to be Dr. Eggman, I just don’t even know how this thing was allowed to happen. But I think that about most video game movie adaptations.
(Except for Detective Pikachu which I need to try to go see soon.)
And then them going back to the drawing board to redesign Sonic was also surprising. Animation is expensive. Is this going to be like Solo where going back and redoing things shoots themselves in the foot by going crazy over budget and not making enough money in the box office to justify it?
Are their animators going to die trying to fix this thing? Will they be properly paid for the trouble?
Guess we’ll see. I wasn’t going to see the movie either way lol
Welcome back, even if only for a minute :D
Don’t worry about the long time between updates; life happens, and it’s perfectly acceptable for you to prioritize keeping yourself happy, healthy, and sane over giving free entertainment to other people.
The trailer for the Sonic movie to me, is exactly what I originally was afraid was going to happen to Detective Pikachu. In a minute long trailer, it shows:
-Sonic is going from “his world” to ours, meaning much of the movie will be characters explaining to other characters what Sonic is, meaning also;
-The movie is probably going to assume that the average viewer has been living under a rock and has never heard of Sonic before seeing the movie, and will need a solid 30 minutes of explaining his powers and backstory before it feels comfortable starting the plot
-It’s going to be primarily a children’s movie, with one or two ‘risky’ jokes for the parents. Since. Y’know. It’s not like the franchise’s main fanbase is currently in their 20s & 30s and in the middle of a huge 90s nostalgia trip.
-Jim Carrey will bring his signature “look at me move my body into weird positions and make annoying sounds” style of joketelling to Robotnik. While not necessarily a bad thing to bring to an oddly shaped and somewhat goofy villain, it’ll be the same character he’s played in everything since 1997. (And we all know how that turned out with his version of Count Olaf.)
Seriously, it’s like the universe saw how amazing Detective Pikachu was, and was like, “A GOOD movie based on a video game? NAAAH bitch we gotta bring balance back to the force asap”
Also, FYI, Sonic’s dick wouldn’t be between his legs – the friction from the running would chafe to the point of driving him insane. It’s likely one of his “hair spikes”. Possibly, even, they’re all penises – and all uncircumcised, apparently.
You pretty much hit the nail on the head with all of my thoughts on Sonic. It’s gonna blow lol them fixing the way the character looks will probably be the most shallow issue the movie will end up having.
Also just published a new comic because apparently I’m not completely worthless.
