The Sonic The Hedgehog movie looks dire, and the CGI monstrosity masquerading as Sonic himself makes me sick. Genuinely.
As Paramount now scrabbles at the last minute to redesign him following intense backlash, let's pick Sonic the Manhog to shreds and chat about Hollywood's artistic arrogance.
Historically, moviemakers love to exploit nerdy licenses while simultaneously being ashamed of them. But history is in the past, and we're in a new era of accepted pop culture geekery.
The world has evolved, but Hollywood's take on Sonic the Hedgehog is rooted in the past.

"they can't ruin your childhood, unless you've never grown up."
Stealing that.
Same!
me too
sound like the right thing to tell my brother a fucking 30yo man who got his childhood ruined because a movie is going to be shit.....
perfectly encapsulates the idea.
Kinda reminds me of how one of my friends used the phrase "ruined my childhood"...
But since that was when we were teenagers, that actually kinda made sense
Edit: Maybe the Sonic movie'll ruin our adulthood?
Yea. Great quote 😂
"It speaks to a lack of confidence that the IP will sell on its own, despite the fact that it was literally sold TO THEM."
That is just, brilliant.
I think it's about greed. They know it will sell, but they want it to sell MORE.
Thank god for him!
I think it is to make it just different enough that after the license ends after the movie is made they can keep the merch rights for crap based on the movie version of the ip.
Unlike Disney they bought all of marvel so the can keep all the monies from the crap made.
If i had a dollar for all these idiots trying to make everything live-action I'd be able to retire. Pokemon, sonic, woody, peter rabbit, aladdin, little mermaid, Scooby Doo, winnie the pooh and so on. I think Scooby Doos success probably broke the frontier for all this other crap thats all mostly been garbage for jerking off the license owners.
jbiehlable the critics (who are known to play the games) seem to be quite positive on it.
Disney reveals Wiil Smiths Genie->
The internet: Worst redesign of a popular character ever..
*Paramount: HOLD MY BEER*
That was the first "hold my beer joke" that made me laugh this year. Cheers
@@ArminAwesome You are welcome m8
What is it with fucking up with the color blue?
Eh, I don't mind Will being the genie.
This however....Holy shit. Somehow, Jim's version looks better.
Paramount, isn't this, like, your fifteenth one?
And as Jim choked the life from the abomination, one word was uttered by it: harder
And then he started... POUNDING IT!
*snrk*
@@riikkatheiceprincess_she_h8725 I'm starting to feel excited... And unclean!👉👌
@@riikkatheiceprincess_she_h8725 I am both frightened and aroused.
Then Jim grew angel wings and tore the abomination to pieces, saving humanity!
@@Welcometotheslam5424 I hope so. I'm really unsure if he can pull it off.
I like Jim Carrey and he could truly be the saving grace that will prevent this movie from collapsing in its own ridicule, but I truly feel like it's the darkest hours before sunrise... If the sun ever bother to show up in the first place!
"Maybe I'm too out of touch." -Jim Sterling wearing a Sonic costume and leather gimp mask
We can call it splitsies, Hollywood, Jim, and the children are wrong.
Jim has a finger on the pulse of the internet. Otherwise he wouldn't be sonic in a gimp mask. Thanks, Jim for the wet nightmares. Thanks, Coolio!
why is that kitchen (?) so hellishly filthy and decrepit?
"I like trash" - jim sterling wearing a sonic onesie and gimp mask
Yet he looks more like Sonic than the movie version lol
On the DVD there is going 1Hr 40 mins of "deleted scenes"
That would be awesome to still be able to see the manhog
sonic x carrey fan service
That would be the first DVD I bought since 2000
DV...D?????
I hope the nuke the original data with an actual nuke and then destroy the backups with hydrocloric acid.
The fact that Coolio gets revenue from Content ID matching a sample of a Stevie Wonder song says everything you need to know about TH-cam right now.
Five bucks says that he doesn't see a penny from this monetization.
"He can smell your dreams" is one of the best lines i heard this decade....

@@janosjph2867 don't be so fucking disgusting.
I actually laughed at that since, pretty much like Jim Carrey's twirly mustache, I wasn't expecting to see that at any point in my life!
You commissioned furry art for a gag on a show you don't even monetize.
I'm impressed at your dedication.
Jim is a lot more dedicated to his un-monetised show than Paramount are to the Sonic movie.
@@OrangeyChocolate That's because Jim is actually interested in the 'art' part of the word 'artistic'.
@@branimirstoilov8640
Jim needs to have his mental images -however disturbing - made into actual images, lest they forever haunt his dreams and drive more crazy than he already is.
And paid in both exposure and cash!
When Jim and Sonic have long passed from common(-ish) knowledge, the artwork may well resurface as Cursed Images.
"Can't ruin your childhood unless you've never grown up"
Brilliant.
Not really, it’s pedantic.
It ruins memories of childhood, then.
I went to the circus last year, it was one of the best things I ever saw. I found out later the animals had shock Collars that made them dance.
Memory ruined.
Not a hard concept to grasp.
@@lesserspottedmugwump.363 Uh... that's a very different set of circumstances. Retroactive knowledge is kind of a different thing. XD
Though that is a set of circumstances I am sure Jim didn't consider.
"It's your crappy parents who ruined your childhood." That mood though.
Lesser Spotted Mugwump.
Unless actual animals were harmed in the making of this film.....it’s your point which is shallow and pedantic
Like Jim said, films can suck and this one certainly is a contender for that title.
But comparing this production to actual animal cruelty is quite disgusting.
Brilliant for normies when you don't use your brain.
Jim, I've watched the channel for years, and "He can smell your dreams, and he's pleasured by the sound of your night farts" is probably the best line you've ever delivered.
Don't lose hope, Jim! We haven't even seen the new design yet. I think they can make it even worse!
All they got to do is change the eyes and mouth/teeth and tweak the body design just a bit. This movie's got a 90 million dollar budget the least they can do is actually make the character pleasant to look at, or at least bearable.
Clearly it wasn't realistic enough.
Honestly, they've just got to do what SEGA told them to. USE THE FUCKING IN GAME MODELS!!!
Actually I think that the old design is art that belongs in an art museum. The meaning behind the design is the arrogance of Hollywood and how far they are willing to go to make a quick buck.
Lol the design actually reminded me of Dr Seuss lol
That opening is all I need for a thumbs up Jim.
if sanic exist than gimp sonic does, right?
Amen
I have never seen such an atrocious THING for a video game character!
I think this movie is in canon. Cmon, the sonic series has pretty atrocious stories and so much cringy furry characters, especially the 3d ones.
What name that song ?
I am pretty sure it was from Sonic Unleashed
it has fingernails
they gave him fingernails
just thought I'd point that out.
*Hairy fingernails...
@@Bourinos02 Wait! That is not how fingernails or even claws work. :S
pixels on a screen brah,,, count to 10 with deep breaths and the blue thing will go away
@@yermanoh its getting a redesign but it isnt going away, but I will try my best to block it out :P
Why..... Why have you done this to us
They could have literally pulled a Roger Rabbit and done... okay, even considering the jackass plot, with an Actual Cartoon Sonic running around the real world.
Edit: Beaten to it.
As a fan of Roger Rabbit this would have been perfectly fine. I know Sonic as a cartoonish character, not a real creature with hair, organs, human teeth, and the insatiable need to collect your's while you sleep.
Felis Impurrator I absolutely love movies that mashup live action and 2D animation, I’d love to see a new take on this concept
Incorporating traditional 2D cel animation into live action scenes would have been much too expensive for this cynical cash grab.
Detective Pikachu pulled off the Roger Rabbit-alike with aplomb
Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a fucking gem that I will love for the rest of my life. "Realism" for it's own sake is stupid.
The true horror behind this film is: *CRUNCH TIME MOTHERFUCKERS!*
Six months left and now they have to work a miracle. 🤪
The "Bioware miracle"
on minimum wage no less.
And they probably had people on the ground complaining about how awful it was, but their bosses told them not to worry about it, and now, they have to do extra work over backlash that they saw coming.
Gotta crunch fast.
@@DefendYoungstown the *"MARZA Animation Planet"* team based in Japan are such a talented, young fun group of people, I feel genuinely bad for them having to work at it again (they brought you all the awesome CG animated cutscenes and Sonic short films, like _The Night of the Werehog,_ promoting the "SONIC Unleashed" game) I actually have faith in them making this GOOD - at least the LOOK of Sonic, can't do anything about the plot concept... :P
"He looks like he escaped from Toontown to pull your fingernails out"
I'M DED
Because Movie Sonic killed you.
I have an objection to that. He looks like he escaped from Cool World to pull your fingernails out.
"This twisted result of God's most drunken mistake"
Tell us how you really feel Jim
"You know he's there, and he knows you know he's there."
I freaking died!
because sonic has killed you
"He looks like he escaped from Toontown to pull your fingernails out." Goddamnit, Jim.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's hilarious that while Gangster's Paradise is highly critical of "gang culture" Coolio's record label acts like a mobster shakedown racket to anyone who posts the Sonic trailer.
He'd probably send copyright claims against Pasttime Paradise even for copying him... XD
Jim should have dubbed Amish Paradise over it to see who'd bite.
You stole my comment from dragon age 4 teaser trailer xD
What's interesting is the tweaks they DO make...are pretty interesting. Especially with Mysterio, as they give him an armor look, make the fishbowl have some VFX in it...but they KEEP TO THE CORE DESIGN PRINCIPLES. Sonic, they didn't take care to go "Okay, what is the MOST IMPORTANT PARTS of SOnic?"
Eyes. Kicks. Gloves. Proportions. Get those right, and you're solid. Then throw in "Hair, and Color Balance"...
...They got EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE KEY VISUAL ELEMENTS WRONG.
Well, at least he's blue ... they got the color right. More than can be said for Suicide Squad Harley Quinn.
She wears black and red ... she ALWAYS wears black and red. You can put her in any kind of clothing and it'll always look like Harley Quinn as long as it's black and red. SHE WEARS BLACK AND RED XO
Sonic is an anthropomorphic hedgehog, and to me it seems like they took the "anthropomorphic" aspect and blew it out of proportions. MASSIVELY out of PROPORTION!
Yeah mysterio is still mysterio just adapted to live action and with a bit more detail that you lack in comic format
The vfx artist don't have any control over the design. Please don't blame them.
I kind of think the idea going into it is:
"So, we've already got the Sonic fans. They're a definite. We don't need to work to make a thing they'll like because they'll come anyway. Now, let's try to appeal to THE MAINSTREAM."
And THE MAINSTREAM doesn't come 'cause it looks like a dorky stupid Sonic the Hedgehog movies and the fans don't come (especially not the four times each they otherwise would) because they can't see anything Sonic the Hedgehog about it. This is what we call a "Spirits Within Footshoot".
Ah yes, the internet's oldest rivalry Jim Vs. Coolio.
@Zippydsm Lee
For a while, yeah. Until he admitted he was being a bit dumb about it.
Yeah...”again”? Probably why this is a “shitty, go no-where show”
took me a second to understand you were not talking about Jim Carrey lmao
@@BatailleRapTishort Nah, Jim Carrey's internet rivalry is with Benito Mussolini's granddaughter. That is not a joke, that really happened.
Who knew balding Coolio would be the most horrifying image in this video
You haven't seen the trailer footage...
He was a one hit wonder anyway.
Wait, I, they didn't base the design based on ted, they based it on fuckin Coolio!
You must have arachnophobia then.
Even more than Nick Nolte’s notorious mug shot?
The fastest thing alive in the uncanny valley.
Now we need a Sonic the Manhog: The Animated Movie
...with a literal obvious human as the hero. Maybe Jack Black.
aww, looks like the cornflakes homunculus got a friend "Szienek the Hedgefond"
My first guess was that they actually tied homunculus down and dressed him up.
*Hedgefondle
Jim's a dumb fuck. Did he even grow up in the 90's??? Gangstas Paradise was the biggest song during the Mega Drive days, fucking idiot. It's obvious, and has nothing to do with the lyrics.
@@grubbybum3614 I'd prefer if they used the original "Amish Paradise" instead of the parody song in the trailer.
@@grubbybum3614 It still doesn't fit the movie very well. A remix of the actual Sonic theme probably would have been better.
I just pretend the song being played is actually "Amish Paradise".
I can never hear the original song again due to this. Amish paradise trumps Gangsta's easily.
It's the same with Eyes of the Tiger and Rise of the Kaiser. And I love Eyes of the Tiger.
Lina Jones honestly, when I first watched the trailer, that’s all I could hear.
Ah, I see you're a person of culture as well
I'm pretty sure using THAT one instead would've been... slightly better. Not great, but definitely a spoof would fit more with the personality of the character, instead of a song that fitted more in a Shadow the Hedgehog flick
@@Xyronflare
And why couldn't they just use a song that was a little on-the-nose like Queens Don't stop me now?!
I mean how do they even come up with Coolio's gangster's Paradise?!
Who randomly pulled that out of a hat?!
I'd say that the case with those adaptations that differed from the source material was that they added their own unique spin to it. The Mask wasn't as brutal and morbid as the original but it had then new talented actor Jim Carrey, groundbreaking effects and was written quite well. It took risks and it paid off. The Shining was made by a visionary director known for being obsessive about even the tiniest details. It's the "make it safe" or "just throw some shit together" attitude that makes those adaptations bad, not the artistic liberties per se.
Paramount saw the Pokemon down in Warner Bros studio, dancing and prancing about in mocap suits.
"They have all the charisma and the presence of one-eyed newts!
What do they have that I don't have?"
Grinning and spinning, those actors, content in the knowledge that audiences would come to theaters.
"We'll see how smug they are after a few beaters!"
And that's when Paramount had an idea.
A terrible, awful idea.
Crying and screaming, the moviegoers threw open the doors.
"No, no! We'll have no more!"
That night, in bed they would only recall the studio's lies.
"Those eyes, eyes, EYES!"
If Dr. Seuss was still alive, he’d get a good chuckle out of this little poem!
I wish I could give comment awards like they do on Reddit.
I literally have just realized that the mono-eye of the original design is supposed to look like racer goggles. Like a ski-mask or diving mask or something. Like, sporty.
Didn't realize that either. Thanks for pointing it out.
weknowmemes.com/2013/03/sonics-eye-goggles-comic/
Huh, that's a good observation. I didn't realize that, lol O.o
@@SeaOfTides Wow, I wonder if they got the Sonic movie design from this cartoon.
@ZechsMerquise73
Haha! May be.
Who Frames Roger Rabbit? nailed cartoon characters interacting with the real world in 1988.
Hollywood: nah. Let’s model a cartoonish 90s character off Ted, who was literally supposed to be a teddy bear.
"It's going to look weird if we don't do this."
He was trying to avoid weird?
"The knuckles! The horrible knuckles!"

I miss him :(
I don’t know why people are freaking out over this.
That is what the citizens of Hollywood look like on a regular basis when their hologram projectors malfunction.
*”We’ve finally given Sonic something to hang his rings from.”* If this isn’t Jim’s best line ever, it’s *hands down* in the top 5. Omfg 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Talk about realism. On a side note echidnas have a penis with four heads. So if knuckles made an appearance things would get interesting.
@@JohnDoe-yf9wk *fanart intensifies*
7.5/10
The "Triple AAA" is not spoken in snooty tone
“Marketing shows that people want realism in their movies.”
Well, clearly they forgot to ask me.
Jim’s sonic performance at the beginning slayed me 😂
I had to rush for the 'like' button at that bit, got me good
Run, Sonic, Run!!!!!! Away from whoever redesigned you and never look back......
I like it.......
#FreeSonic
You're too slow
but you can never run far enough
Jim looks like Sonic if he were a character in Manhunt.
Giant Squidy
Oh yeah, manhunt. That was a thing.
I would play that.
Hollywood: People want Realism.
~Cats happens~
Hollywood: Oh, People don't like musicals anymore.
If we get anymore realistic, we’ll see a furry in a Sonic costume
It would probably look better than this
The furry at least wouldn't be giving the kids of the era (as many) nightmares
@@InsanityPlusOne THe kids of this era deserve nightmares.
that's literally SonicFox, a professional fighting game player who recently won an award at TGA
wait... sonic isn't a person in a furry costume? So they spent money on cgi and made that?! There goes their only excuse.
There's still hope Jim. The redesign might somehow be worse than the original manhog design
I was wondering the same....
I demand more human teeth, and longer fingers.
I'm betting on it being almost identical to the old manhog, and yet somehow still worse
With only 6 months to do it, using the blood of their employees to fuel the project, it's not going to be good. It'll be a new bad, the like we can only guess at.
Unless, of course Sonic only appears in 15 minutes of the movie- in which case it will be possible, and fucking typical of Hollywood to sideline and not show their main characters.

Hahaha, all they did was put that neon blue fuzz on the cartoon model!
*He can smell your dreams.*
Anthropomorphism gone wrong. Uncanny Valley 101.
Obviously you have to make the blue, anthropomorphic, electrically charged, super fast, EMP-generating hedgehog feel like a part of this world.
who is also an ALIEN
And somehow, movie Sonic is still more terrifying than Jim Sonic
@bigevilworldwide1 You are kinda disgusting, can you like... go somewhere else?
@bigevilworldwide1 lol this bitch thinks kids are the demographic
@@dereinzigwahreRahl He is right though. It was guaranteed garbage from day dot and doesn't deserve any publicity regardless of what design decisions were made along the way.
@ bigevilworldwide1: #1 kids aren't stupid & won't just watch anything. there's a reason why Marvel, Shrek, Toy Story, Frozen, Lego Movie & other "kids" movies became popular, because kids are smart enough to know that they are GOOD & respect the source material, this Sonic movie does not respect the source material at all.
#2 not very many kids will be into this, as Sonic is old, outdated & its popularity has come & gone decades before kids alive today were even born
#3 Sonic has been terrible for longer than these kids have been alive & hasn't been at the height of his popularity for 25 years... so this movie should be aimed at people that have nostalgia for it, not kids who are into Pokemon & don't even know who the fuck Sonic is because before Sonic Mania he hasn't had a good game in 25 years.
#4 i'm glad you're not a movie exec. I can imagine you pitching a new mario movie "yeah lets make it a gritty tale of a struggling plumber in New York & I wan't the trailer to have the same vibe as the new Joker DC movie, oh & btw lets make Mario look like Ron Jeremy & look absolutely nothing like he does in the games. that'll sell well with the kids amirite"
thank God you're not in charge of any movie. that's all i'll say.
Jim is a nice guy, you have to be relay depraved to do that.
im talking relay demented, and in to bad bad stuff.
im talking some one who has voices in there dreams and thinks it's a good idea
the voices that whisper in your dreams about microtransactions being good for under 10 year olds and football games.
they wispier about mobile games
they wispier about data mining
they talk about how good sonic will look if we make him in to a chimaera half human half demon
they just do as the voices say, sleep on a bed of $$$ and have nose candy to keep there soulless body moving
jim is just to nice to do that to any one is all
Wasn't Tom Cruise's character in the Last Samurai based on a real guy though? Only difference was, he was actually French instead of American (but they made him American to give him that extra guilt about the natives, mirroring what he's doing to the Japanese).
Bacxaber Yes, wasn’t whitewashing there (American-washing, maybe)
"Jim Carrey making me cringe so hard I want to eat me own teeth!"
XD! I lost it when I heard that line.
It's like he dusted off his roles as Ace Ventura or the Mask, added smug, and just went with that. I haven't played enough Sonic games to know what Dr. Robotnik's character is like other than he seems like a Dr. Wily knock off. Whatever the case, this just comes off as Jim Carrey preferring to not act outside of a mold rather than pay any kind of attention to source material and adjust accordingly. If any Sonic fan would like to chime in here, I would be interested to know their take on how faithfully Dr. Robotnik is portrayed and whether canned Jim Carrey actually fits in this role.
Maybe this will be fresh to the people not familiar with his older stuff, but I can't help roll my eyes and think to myself, "oh, it's the patented Jim Carrey schtick again."
He would work great for the original Sonic *Cartoon* because DiC kinda did the _same_ thing as Hollywood, but because it was a cartoon it actually worked.
Cartoon Robotnik is very much like The Grinch....incidentally another role he's already done.
A second cartoon was done by Archie comics and basically served as the "redesign." Both of them worked _because_ they were cartoons though, thank gawd CG cartoons (Like Reboot) wouldn't be a thing for another 10 years or else the first one may have received the same fate.
Actual Robotnik actually outclasses Dr Wily by several magnitudes, though. The Man not only built his own Super Star Destroyer (Egg Carrier), but his own damn Death Star(Egg) too! Except with giant Mecha instead of TIE fighters

vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/evil/images/c/cd/The_Egg_Carrier.jpg
(Actually come to think of it, the Death Egg is stronger than the Death Star because it has _two_ superlasers, and no outer weak points. The core is also a giant robot itself, which is finally fought in Sonic Forces, so it's not just a simple matter of running in and blowing it up)
image.jeuxvideo.com/medias-lg/151119/1511186714-5825-capture-d-ecran.jpg
While his general designs are Wily-esque especially his personal vehicles (down to even having a face and similar spiky arms), when he gets mad and gets _serious_ he can really drop the hammer hard! Regular Robotnik is closer to Zero's nemesis, Dr Weil in terms of threat level sprites-inc.co.uk/files/Zero/Zero4/Cutscene/ragnarok.gif
So Jim Carrey is *A* Robotnik (the cartoon/spinoff one, Sega actually liked the mangled version enough to make him an alternate universe counterpart for titles like Spinball and Mean Bean Machine, which tells you *how* bad Hollywood Sonic must be if Sega didn't roll with it) than *THE* Robotnik
(It's makes sense his scale is so much larger though, as Sonic would rip through Wily's stages in about 15 seconds)
@@Poglavnit_Pferdefuhrer I appreciate your thoughtful and in depth response to this two month old post of mine.
It seems again adapting cartoon characters to the big screen faces the challenge of overcoming the uncanny valley. So Jim Carrey probably would have been better suited in a voice role for Dr. Robotnik? I think that makes more sense.
I hope the redesign is worse than the original.
Given that they have six months to re-design the model and do years of work re-integrating it into the movie, there's no way it won't look like shit.
www.thecourieronline.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/SonicDesign.jpg
All they did was throw fuzz on the Sonic Boom model, how lame!
Something tells me most of the animation budget went to designing the fuzz since that's the only element they didn't throw away.
@@Poglavnit_Pferdefuhrer that isn't the redesign though..
As a vfx artist (who may have even been involved to a very minor degree in 1 or 2 of the properties mentioned throughout the video - NOT Sonic though, fortunately), I just want to stress something to hopefully help clarify the matter:
- The three vfx companies mentioned in the video (& others) may be involved in, among other tasks, the creation & integration of Sonic into the film, but be aware that such companies are hired by the film studios & therefore answer to their demands. Granted, their work usually requires doing look development & designs to guide the work, but above all their clients are the ones who steered & approved the creative directions. So while it's easy to blame a company as an entity, take in mind that the artists, supervisors & producers need to adhere to someone else's creative vision, and now may have to work overtime because of someone else's decision.
On top of that many artists share the same love for all those intellectual properties (I dare say more so than any other film department), and may equally share the pain of doing their job, creating this...
The art directors failed to capture Sonic's look.
We all gotta remember that these are Top Down operations. A small group of people makes decisions for hundreds and thousands of others. Sometimes those commands are interpreted, but we've seen that these companies will force the proper result from their employees and ignore protests. So you are very right, we need to direct our anger at the ones responsible, not the people forced or coerced to do their bidding. They can't exactly say no. This isn't a fairytale, where the hero gets to drop his job and life to save the world. We gotta take it easy on them and remember they're on our team. The Peoples' team. And we support each other against tyranny.
@@TheCrimsonCat89 Granted, the art directors may have played their part, but then again someone higher up chose to go with that specific direction, or just didn't care & picked the worst... I will argue at best it is difficult to pin the horrible decisions on a single person from the go, and more often it isn't a black or white issue.
It does appear however that no-one higher up in the chain had any interest or respect for the source material / IP, or thought they would know better because they have the money to prove it. Same reasons why CG ends up erasing practical effects instead of complimenting it, f.ex. The Thing 2011 (we do rather prefer to work with them) or rewriting endings because they may not seem marketable enough (I am Legend).
=> For those who are curious, there is a nice article on Cracked about designing movie monsters (mainly on ADI / Alec Gillis & Tom Woodruff Jr) that includes some classic tales about studio heads/producers making bad decisions, to the point of redesigning whole creatures based on a simple comment from a producer's 14-year-old son...
I think the Tim Miller quote says it all-it’s what he wanted. Mr Deadpool thought that suddenly slinking away from the source material like a beaten dog would be a good idea. Deadpool probably would have been as bad if it wasn’t for Ryan Reynolds insisting on staying true to the source material.
Sonic fell down the uncanny valley, hitting every jagged rock on the way down.
The vibrant color, imagination, and cosmic scale of Thor: Ragnarok has shown itself to far surpass the watered down version of himself from Thor: The Dark World.
Remember when the Cornflake homunculus was the creepiest thing on Jims channel
He ate it
The monster that is Jim...
Nope. Since Randy Pitchford was shown before the Cornflake Homunculus was created.
@@bismuthcrystal9658 Not to mention the creepy giant smile he's been putting on put on John Riccitiello since the escapist days. Plus uncensored images of Bobby Kotick. There's a lot of disturbing content on this show.
Worth noting, Jim cosplayed an S&M Sonic, and it still wasn't as horrifying as the actual Sonic from the trailer. It takes real talent to make something look that bad.
The Last Samurai isn't whitewashing. It's an adaptation of a novel titled Shogun, which in itself is a "non-fiction" dramatization of actual historical events surrounding William Adams (yes, the main character from Nioh, which Jim played), a British sailor whose ship landed in Japan back in the late 1500's/early 1600's. He became fairly involved in Japanese political affairs and was actually made a samurai, the first "Western Samurai." He actually lived out the rest of his life in Japan and is buried there.
Starwind87 maybe he confused the movie with 47 Ronin. A la Antman thinking Looper was Die Hard. The covers of the films look remarkably similar.
12:11 anyone notice that Cyclops's neck is like, oozing out of the top of his suit?
Hey retro! Its always cool to youtubers you watch watching other channels youre subscribed to
You are totally right, it looks weird as hell xD
finally. you hit the nail on the head about the whole "ruined childhood". I hate when people say that.
It says a lot that despite Jim being in a Sonic/gimp mask/furry ensemble all I could think was that cupboard looks filthy.
Clean your cupboards Jim!

The ironic thing about Tim Miller is that he and Ryan Reynolds had to fight tooth and nail a couple of years ago to make the Deadpool movie. Their executives were like "you can't make an R-rated superhero movie where he constantly talks to the audience", but they did it because that's faithful to the character.
And now the same guy is completely missing the point of Sonic the Hedgehog.
I'm sure Sonic's appareance was a high exexutive decission, and Tim at some point warned them. That's why now they're going to try to change it, but I doubt they succeed.
Gangstas Paradise was intentionally chosen to trigger Chris Chan, I guarantee it.
God has Chris Chan responded to this trailer yet? I wanna see him lose his shit
Truls Berghagene Please you have to get the video of him reacting
Truls Berghagene th-cam.com/video/vLAd_7l4GtI/w-d-xo.html I hath delivered bitches
1. Release trailer
2. Wait for the backlash/PR
3. promise to remake the man-hog
4. release the movie with the design you already had but didn't use in the trailer
"Look! We did listen to our audience"
Yep, this may sound like a conspiracy theory, but sadly that's most likely what they did. Now everyone is hyped for the new Sonic look.
My thoughts exactly, I really have my doubts that anyone was truly unaware of the uncanny valley qualities of that design. I also have my doubts any of us would have given a shit about a Sonic movie being made if the design wasn't so memeable.
Maybe I've been watching too much Peter Coffin but this smells like viral marketing to me.
Come on, stop this I know it's easy to act like it's only the evil corporate bastards working on this project but the director seems to be genuine with his apology and promise to fix the design and shouldn't we be respecting that? He announced this on his personal twitter account of all things we usually see these things announced. We can't knock it out of the park like Detective Pikachu that's just how it is sometimes and if we are going to make conspiracy to discredit their actions to do right which we barely see from independent creators as is we are making those actions less worthwhile and won't matter. I just hope for a first-time director he truly is able to get everyone to do by the date without crunching everyone into oblivion.
I thought this too. Someone who worked on Detective Pikachu said it's pretty much impossible to redo it from here. Also the fact they made the decision within a week
@@Loutron3030 That makes sense why that oen company was flagging all those mad videos. to mae a qucik buck off this scheme. i'ts utterly disguest. but legal apperently
Aaaaaghhhh bald Coolio is worse than Sonic's hands. Much much worse.
I have no idea why, but this really made me chuckle.
@@casperes0912 Because old Coolio is fucking weird
lol.
When Coolio went baldoolio that wasn't coolio at all.
Seriously though those pictures were awesome. Why did he keep those little mini dread ponytail things?! Why Coolio why?!
0:11 That *WAS* actually 100 percent frightening.
"we finally gave Sonic something to hang his rings from" Ha!
That sonic suit is terrifying as all hell.
10/10
still better than the movie design
You wnt to know something more terrifying? He didn't need to buy that to do this video. He already had it.
It really is, so is Jim's
Still less scary than CGI sonic
"Everyone at Paramount & Sega are fully commited to making this character the BEST he can be..."
Don't drag Sega in the mud, it's Paramount's fault, Sega's design was never the problem, Jeff Fowler.
What's hilarious is that Tim Miller was a big part of making deadpool faithful to his comic counter part...to an extent.
"He can smell your dreams" that was the hardest I've laughed in a while
"I said there were exceptions, but that's an anomaly..." Hilarious
I love them because they're so terrible 😂
I love them because I’ve loved milla jovovich ever since the fifth element lol
I like the Resident Evil films because they're trash. Sometimes you just want to watch zombie action without a plot.
@@WebmistressL Exactly. Starship Troopers, anyone?
@@sapphic_sleeper hell yeah. Starship Troopers was great

That line got me to actually laugh out loud.
That's a saying that I'm going to steal now.
"Nobody wants to see sonic's PROBING, GRASPING, UNSHAVEN MAN TALONS"

The comedic timing of that pause was perfect! The slow realization of what he just said and the loss of faith in humanity resulting from understanding his own words. XD
Hollywood tried to make a "realistic" Sonic, without realising there is no such thing as a real Sonic.
I think a legitimately good Sonic movie is possible... just not a live-action one pumped out by Hollywood execs.
Sonic Unleashed is a cinematic Sonic to me and that's as close as we'll get and i will fucking take it because i loved it.
@@Hysteria98 A whole film crafted with the same amount of love and attention as Unleashed's opening custcene would be amazing.
They can’t even make good Sonic games, what makes you think he has potential for movies
There already is one called Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie (1996)
@@aBDKstan The problem is that the Sonic license DOES have potential to have good movies and games. It's just that SEGA, for some reason, doesn't seem to be able to actually use that potential, even if the ideas they have for the games are good in concept. They just fail at execution. And Hollywood is Hollywood. I have no hope for any movies if they're making them. It seems like very few people that get their hands on the license actually understand how to use it.
"Something to Hang His Rings From" is gonna be the title of my new country album lol
"Cool." - John Oliver
Lol Jim and I had the same reaction to the Blitzwing thing in Transformers. I definitely thought it was Starscream and refused to see it when I found out the truth.
You shouldn't let that stop you from watching it. It's a pretty good film and starscream does actually show up in it.
Oh fuck, those two commissions and your audio track had me in fucking stitches, crying with laughter. Thank you Jim, that was beautiful
In the wise words of Dr. Robotnik from the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog: "I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG!"
I hate the chumps who say "egg man".. wtf is that shit? They'd better call him Robotnik in the film.
Grubby bum Eggman is his original, canon name. They changed it in the western releases for some odd reason and by Sonic Adventure, they comprised and made both Eggman and Robotnik canon, with the latter being his actual name (first name Ivo) and the former a nickname that Sonic called him but he took to heart and threw back in his face.
(Eggman starred using his nickname before the events of Sonic 1 going by the original script; the Sonic Adventure 1 English dub lines about him using Robotnik more were to illustrate the change)
The Mario equivalent would be Princess Peach originally being called Toadstool overseas.
@@grubbybum3614 I prefer to use both honestly. Maybe it's just because of how he's been called in the West, but I prefer Robotnik for the classic design (pre-Adventure 1) and Eggman for the more modern design (Adventure 1 and onwards).
His name's Doctor Ivo Robotnik. That film better call him that.
Her name's Princess Peach Toadstool.
@@SeaOfTides Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik to use his full name including the nickname. As I said, both names are canon now so it doesn't really matter, kind of like how Koopa is normally called "Bowser Koopa" elsewhere now, again also combining the original and dub names.
Oh look, it's *HUMAN MOUTH* the hedgehog!
I don't get the "human teeth" hate... ? There's so much more wrong with the design, especially the eye's, and his slim body shape.
@@grubbybum3614 It's just a visceral thing. Human mouths are kind of weird-looking to begin with, and seeing one on a CGI rodent takes some people - myself included - on an especially horrible tour of the uncanny valley.
is so sonic can fit in hollywood better
#HollywoodIsACastingCouch #SonicTheSucker #SonicGonnaMilkTheProducers
@@grubbybum3614 It's not even the teeth that bothers me, it's the fact that he has a human-like mouth anatomy that did. Them lips holy fuck (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)
I see the annoying orange guys are working overtime
Thanks for talking about VFX studios going to have to deal with the crunch because of this redesign. It is not something they should have ever had to deal with. Movies are already over schedule, over budget and studios are getting underpaid as are the artists. Now they have to redo this shit all over again.
I'm really curious that people keep forgetting two very basic parallels here. Michael Bay's Transformers and the ultimate abomination Michael Bay's Teenage Mutant Ninja Travesties. Those were two concepts that said "we have to make it uncanny realistic to make it fit in our world." I'll take the foam rubber suits of the 80's and 90's over those CG monstrosities. Not because of debates between what looked more realistic or love practical effects vs visual effects. The 80's/90's films tried to keep to the original style and designs, and a whole massive team of people lovingly put the effort to bring that to the screen.
Boohoo!! They get paid, if they don't like it they can learn to code....oh.
"Elumptunt Torso"
Everybody DESERVES to sit with that for a moment
"it's for kids!"
(advertises to those kids with jokes about kidnapping and child abuse )
I bet lot of kids can relate to that so it's actually galaxy brain tier marketing move
God that gag alone made me not want to watch that movie. Sonic's design is awful but I have never liked that sort of cringe worthy humour.
Not for kids, will be the _Rule 34_ shit the _Manhog_ inspires...
How are those concepts considered “kid-friendly”?
Hollywood truly is arrogant not to have cast Jim in a fur suit as sonic.
I'm only 20 seconds in and it's already a contender for my favorite -kink- Jimquisition.
2:10 I really like Jim Sterling's take on the childhood ruining thing. I have seen those types of posts and all the thumbs up they get. I can only imagine those thumbs being stuck up the persons ass cause it's completely stupid to say that a persons child hood was ruined by something that didn't happen to them as a child.
I am impressed you managed to find a shirt that matched the color of that sonic hat so well.
Jim, what you're experiencing is called 'The Uncanny Valley'... Basically since Sonic looks similar to humans but not quiet there is makes people see them as off or 'wrong'.
Ebon Shadow it ain’t uncanney anymore if you slap a big ol‘ gimp mask on it
I'm glad someone mentioned how cringy Jim Carrey is in the trailer. Then again I guess that's what he was asked to do...
Don’t remember where I heard it, but someone noticed that their back shot of Sonic stretching looks like Richard Simmons in a Sonic onesie XP
Jim already owned the gimp mask didn't he.
I'd be shocked if he didn't
@@cutecommie No you need to join up with another sodomite, they will give it to you as a present, and then they will do something.
@Anglo-Saxon Heathen I disagree with his far-left views BUT he is one of the few that I actually like.Stupid views aside!
@@cutecommie Hello, This is Theo from the admissions department. It turns out your gimp mask got lost in the mailroom. We have just sent it out. It should arrive in 3-4 business days.

@@Theo_Caro Oh thank Satan. I was getting really worried.
I mainly watch Jim sterling because I find his takes on what goes on in the gaming industry interesting and enlightening, that fact that he sometimes does it while wearing a gimp mask, is just a bonus.

I found myself laughing hysterically during my first viewing of the trailer, simply because it was so surreal and so bad.
The Warcraft movie should get some props for being incredibly true to the source, if nothing else.
Frankly I was shocked at how okay the Warcraft movie was. Nothing great. But as a long time fan of Warcraft I was entertained by the movie
I liked it too
Same. I think it fell to the issue that many Warcraft fans weren’t fans of the Original Warcraft 1 backstory, but of one of the sequels they knew more about.
I hope they make it to Frozen Throne one day!!!!
If they were to make one set in WarCraft III..
Jesus, with that kind of CGI? Thing would be the bomb. And that is why it will never happen. :/
Who Framed Roger Rabbit worked. CGI just doesn’t work in some cases.
I'm waiting for the inevitable awful Who Framed Roger Rabbit remake which makes the toons CG and thus misses the point entirely.
In this case, because it such poor quality. I mean, the fucking hedgeman looks photoshopped in most scenes. The quality is pretty damn bad.
@@DragonNexus That might work as a sequel as a majority of animation has moved to CG but since their is still 2d animation both might be present with the CG as a third race.
@@yamadiyoo9658 Hm, as a premise that could work. Of course, someone with talent and passion and some idea of what to do with the premise would need to get involved to actually make a good movie from it, but if anyone was going to do a sequel, I could see that working nicely.
@@PsychadelicoDuck
I think they've said they would do a prequel if anything. What with Bob hoskins being gone I can't imagine anyone who could do that part justice. And we all know Hollywood loves to take something we love that's super iconic and ruin it.
ugh, what's the sound playing during the "watching sleeping" fanart, I know I've hear it before,
I can't remember what it's from X_X
But........The Last Samurai was about a white guy becoming a samurai to fight against Japanese imperial colonialists. It was based on a true story about that......
@Orrion is that what the game Nioh is loosely based on too?
For that matter, the Major wasn't actually Japanese either, but all I ever get is screeching and bad cold takes when I point that out. The people complaining about WW in that film know nothing of the franchise, themes, Japanese culture, or even the plot of the actual fucking movie and would rather just vilify ypipo for the billionth time.
@@Lucia-te1wp Pretty much agree with you on it's issues, but white savior complex isn't one of them. Hollywood McCharacter embraced Japanese culture instead of talking down to them and making them embrace Euro/White culture.
Otherwise yeah, I find it a fun movie, but I still have a hateboner for the historical inaccuracy and various other bullshit.
Kurt Christel oh yeah, sure. Mokoto Kusanagi isn’t Japanese. Mokoto is a very European given name, and Kusanagi is actually of Irish origins. Go fuck yourself.
Kurt Christel If I remember the major was originally a man before he got crippled and became a cyborg
