My friend wants to watch this film because she wants to know why I have an interest in Sonic. I refuse to not watch this film together with her. This film, which includes a creature that pretends to be Sonic, isn’t the reason why I fell in love with the franchise. It’s frankly embarrassing. If I’m going to watch this film, it’ll have to be by myself or with my little niece.

I saw this and I bursted out laughing.

I just posted some proof that people in the comments and 4chan wanting others to dislike the video. Maybe the "thousands" was an overstretch. Hundreds would have been a better fit. Maybe in your world. Because it does prove something. That there are people out there who want this trailer to be the most disliked YT video. So they are telling others to downvote it. If you can't see that, then we're done here. I think you are getting muddled here. When I meant 'thousands', I did not mean thousands = majority. Of course, the majority genuinely picked the disliked button because they genuinely dislike it after watching the trailer.

This is like me asking you to provide proof that every single dislike on that video is genuine and not influenced by anybody else, just themselves. Yep, CoD: IW sure didn't sell blockbusters. Because the number of dislikes outweighed the likes, by millions...NO WAY some of these dislikes were influenced by others, trying to make it the worst disliked YT video of all time, right?

I think it's you with the tin foiled hat. When people go around and shout "Everyone downvote this!", even with some likes within those comments, you honestly think no one, after seeing those comments, will not go ahead and dislike the video? Where are the comments saying "this is silly?" Or people downvoting those comments? Seriously. EDIT: You are twisting my words. Again.

Ehhh...nowhere did I say the trailer was good. I agree that the trailer was bad. I'm sure they exist, but they are the minority compared to the "let's dislike!" majority. Within 5 minutes I got those comments, while I got none for the opposite. But again, that doesn't mean they don't exist.

I actually looked for that, but couldn't find any within the 5 minutes I looked at the comments.

You are so predictable. I was waiting for you to question me this, so I prepared this just in case. https://imgur.com/QTAzVzm Now I'm sure there are more, but I'm not going to dig around 11,000 comments.

Okay I'll take back what I said about 'the lulz'. What I won't take back, is that there are thousands who are doing it because they were told to. And stop twisting my words. I didn't say everybody that hit the dislike button didn't genuinely think the trailer sucked. I believe the majority did.

Point is, the number of dislikes on this Sonic film trailer doesn’t mean bomb/failure. It could end up like The Smurfs (2011).

You are really underestimating that, especially to the ones who are on Reddit and communities who post about the dislikes and they follow the leader. Let me remind you that Bieber has 10M dislikes to his name.

I did not say EVERYONE that hit the dislike button did it for lulz. But there are thousands of them. I was aware of you using Ghostbusters. But the reason why I used Baby and CoD was to throw that back at you to argue that huge number of dislikes doesn’t mean the film is going to fail/bomb.

I’ll ignore this. There are thousands that go and hit dislike because they were told to or for lulz. Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Reveal Trailer and Justin Bieber’s Baby are two of the top four most disliked videos on YT. But look at their successes. So dislikes really mean nothing.

Again though...where's Detective Pikachu's 'good' score? And I can give you examples of bad films with good trailers. The Last Airbender. The Incredible Hulk (subjective).

DP certainly had better reception, but that doesn't translate to the film being good. Tomb Raider had a better reception than Sonic.
