Ferno

Knux wasn't exactly the best guarded secret. Nothing wrong with throwing something out there to generate some buzz.

Doubly so if there are other things in the movie that will supply sufficient shock factor when revealed.

*cough*MetalSonic*cough*

The important thing is that the Sonic model is now his redesign and the last remnant of the fugly old design is burned to hell and locked away, never to resurface again

they really were about to release the movie like that huh

the suits approved that design with their whole chests and said people would love it

the SPHERES on the mfs, the gall

I pity the poor sculptors that had to put together that old model.

Why would they wait for a trailer to let us see the characters? Leaks generate interest in the movie. That's the entire point of letting things "leak".

I agree, there will be other secrets in the movie so yeah Knuckles wasn't a big spoiler, he was heavily rumored and reported, plus I think he will be a large part of the movie rather than one of the surprises.

Knuckles had setup the minute we saw echidna's on the big screen, so he's not as big a spoiler or shock.

I still want to find that original movie sonic sculpture. Shit could be made into some fine content. Has to be just collecting dust in some warehouse somewhere.

But yeah, this isn’t some MCU production here. Doubt Paramount really cares what all leaks from these shoots for the most part.

On top of that, it would have inevitably leaked anyway if they went with a big name actor as Knuckles VA. 

They would not have been able to hide Knux for too long even if they wanted too. 

Doing it on their own terms was certainly clever.

The cleaver part is it helps stay ahead of the tidal wave of people who would have demanded to see Knux redesign sooner rather than later. Considering what Sonic went through in the first movie. 

Even if it's just a rough draft, that standee has quelled A LOT of fan anxiety. They are not making the same mistake twice.

Its his son actually who's famous for being THE Solid Snake. But he's a good soundalike for his father.

Akio Ohtsuka if you were wondering.

Edit: Oh nevermind it wasn't him apparently! Its some guy named Kotaro Nakamura. He has done a few odd roles here and there.

Oh man. We need to go all out butt rock in this movie.

Those are treasures. (Pun intended)

I think Disney should leave them the way they are actually.

and then theres me, the one guy on the whole planet who wants to see them take another crack at The Black Cauldron.

Holy shit, this could legitimately be the beginning for a whole new generation of hits. Though, a part of me really doesn't trust current day CN to understand the potential here but this is definitely a step in the right direction.

Wasn’t this basically what they did with those CN shorts that turned into full shows back in the day? Which is how we got Billy and Mandy and I think Megas XLR

Yup. Dexter, PPG, KND, Courage- so many of the classic cartoons got their start this way.

My baby strawberry just might have a shot someday...

(Although US cartoon is only half of my story)

If there was an Atomic Purple Switch Lite, I don't think I'd be able to contain my wallet, even though I already have a Switch.

Maybe cause it looks too much like a real mouse versus a more colorful toy that it doesn't appeal to him, so its just as much of a "magical yet scary idea" that a "real" mouse would suddenly start talking on its own-- let alone repeat what the baby would say. That or maybe the voice is too loud

Kadokawa has the rights

Playing through both of the PS Spider-Mans made me fully realize just how beautiful a setting can be during sunset.

What made me love this stage was the pretty nostalgic-like visuals at a time when green hill throwbacks weren't as common as they are now, and a gba rendition of dreams of absolution. (I know it's just a green hill remix)

Sunset Hill has remixed GHZ music, but otherwise its probably one of the more unique GHZ-esque stages in the series.

Many other franchises have done this for years. I don’t know why people act as if Sonic is so different/special?

maybe because sonic's fanbase is very loud?

Maybe because Sonic is a fanbase that Ferno is actually a part of and witnesses first hand?

The Sonic base is a loud bunch yeah but I also can't really call out many other series that's quite like this one in this specific case. Like yes, you see it in just about every base that's gone through a reboot or something but I have yet to see one that matches the sheer... idk, volume and effort this base puts into each different branch.

Like real talk, what base takes what many believe to be their franchise's worst product and start to remake it from the ground up?

twice?

at the same time?

Like the only thing I can really think of is Star Wars or something but even then that's quite a height.

@Strickerx5 its not like they are trying to bring back the games - the TV series was considered good by most. Its far from the franchises worst product.

Its not like people are kickstarting a Sonic Underground continuation. Yeesh.

Well SEGA keeps turning tables with Sonic to make it feel new every time and adds new gimmicks or things that bring new fans to the fold... and yeah the result is that we have a huge fandom that is divided in God knows how many mini fandoms.

@Sega DogTagzWas referring to those two 06 remakes that people were building with Unity lol

Oh, nevermind then. lol

i'm living for fan reboots tbh, mania is living proof. ❤️

Makes me want to buy one now

Brah, I remember those days...and the days before that.

Fun times!

It sure is annoying when people praise a game ---- I swear

I'm just tired of hearing how underrated it is when it clearly isn't anymore 

Somiman,  I thought you hated cynical takes :V shouldn't you be happy that something in Sonic is getting positive buzz for once

I only hate cynical takes when they don't come from ME that's how it works!

On the real, God I hate what Twitter has exposed about this fanbase. 

I always knew it was dumb, but I couls safely ignore it and pretend it didn't exist. Now YouTube, Twitter, and Reddit expose me to the dumbest of takes and Im like "please shut up"

Like damn, I'm one of the advocates for not being a cynical sad sack and even I find that shit exhausting and makes me wonder why I put up with it. 

and then ash's dad shows up

and then i wake up

Pokémon: The Final Movie - Endgame

"Pokemon: They Chose Me"

The ending of Pokémon will be Ash waking up from a coma and you know it

The way the anime has been going on, i have literally no idea how can they make it end effectively.

The only way the anime could end is with Team Rocket finally, successfully stealing Pikachu and Ash never getting him back. 

"...Who are you people again?"

Have the movie start with Ash celebrating his 11th birthday and it'd be a masterpiece.

Didn't he do that in the Pichu brothers short that accompanied the third movie?
