      It's a hollow victory. Paramount badly needed a hit after Transformers One and IF flopping. Disney already has big hits Inside Out 2, Moana 2 and Deadpool and Wolverine. Paramount does have A Better Man coming out which looks both wacky and very interesting.

      I mean the movie was MASSIVELY unfocused, barely acknowledged the knuckles show and didnt have Wade in the film for more than a minute... if anything it assassinated his character arc from the show and made him a stupid gag character again. It spent FAR too much time on Carey, didnt develop tails as a character AGAIN, the wachowski's were barely in it, the master emerald didnt work the way it should have.... idk man it wasnt that good. It didnt suck by any stretch, but compared to the first one it fell on its face.

    • @DecKrash
      @DecKrash วันที่ผ่านมา

      ​@@herrikudoI didn't feel that it was unfocused; Shadow's story told in flashbacks was something that I felt was done very well, and rather gave definition through nonlinear storytelling., but I do agree that they should have built up knuckles as a character a little bit, as for tails, he's simply the brains of the group, and I've never really seen much done with him. As for the human element in the movies concerning Sonic's family, from what I've seen, a lot of people actually liked the fact that they downplayed the humans outside of Robotnik. But they gave enough of an emotional punch where it mattered.

    Sonic was just concerned with being good.
    Mufasa is trying so hard to beat one of the greatest animated films by arguing that it being hand-drawn, 90s Disney flare made it immature and these "close to life" action movies are needed to make the stories "real".
    Disney wasn't proving animation was real of anything but being a REAL and amazing tool for storytelling whoch is why he went with animation to begin with.
    Too many in Disney now think animation is immature and if they 'like' animation, they always try to censor and stop real innovation and style experiments, explaining why they're stupid Steven Universe shit style is leaking into the CGI sphere, as that's the industry approved style because it's "safe and progressive".
    Art doesn't evolve by preventing people from creating it and limiting HOW they make it and the subject of it. This is why Disney has been failing recently. They want art to be a vehicle for politics and politics only and as result, all they can make for a majority is trash because they've strangled art for narcissistic reasons.
    Sonic is just pure fun. At the end of the day that's what the series was created for, on top of wanting to innovative the technology capabilities at the time. It's fun and it embraced that.
    Something that is aware of it just being plain fun will get more respect from me than something that PRETENDS to be greater than it is, all for the sake of vanity.

    Also, I wish the instead of live action remakes, Disney instead followed the premise of Christopher Robin, and made the project more of a sequel to the original work. I admit, there's a certain appeal of wanting to see what iconic Disney characters (like Aladdin, Hercules, Genie, Mickey Mouse, Mufasa, Buzz Lightyear, and more) would look like if they existed in our world (albeit done right, to make them look realistic while sill maintaining their iconic design).

    Mufasa's issue is rather its lack of liveliness so to speak. You can't emote animals realistically through CGI without some "cartoon tampering". The only successful cgi with believable emoting in Cinema was first Narnia movie imho, where ASLAN was formidable, regal, and believable.

    • @KopperNeoman
      @KopperNeoman วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      It helps that Aslan isn't actually a lion, but rather a creator God equal to our own who chooses to appear as one. He and his Creations can afford to emote in anthropomorphised ways.

    If a studio is putting out an "adaption" or "extension" of someone else's successful brand, property, or work (of which Sonic and Lion King are both one of those things), they have an obligation to the FANS who made those works successful. If they treat those fans with respect, and reward their loyalty (which Paramount did), they will win. If they spit at the feet of the fans (which Disney routinely does), they will lose.

    I went to see Sonic. I've never been a hardcore Sonic fan, just knew about things in passing, along with the memes, and of course "Shadow the Edgehog"
    But MAN, did that movie deliver. If I was a hardcore fan, I would have probably exploded with the amount of references (and not just blatantly showing things and going "THIS IS A REFERENCE, LIKE IT!", no things that only fans would pick up on or even just gamers, one such thing being "blowing on things to make them work") and the acting was immensely entertaining and fun to watch.
    Hell, I knew of the song "Live and Learn" because of the "fans will riot if this isn't in the movie" and when that fucking riff started up at a particular scene... Goddamn. Forreal. Goddamn. Goosebumps all over, and just... The choreography! The visuals, it all just fucking works so beautifully!
    Sonic *deserves* this win immensely and I'm looking forward to what Sonic 4 is going to bring.

    Frankly I want to watch Mufasa but it won't be at the theater. No big deal to me if it flops, I had a feeling it would. The reason it failed is because:
    1. It had to compete with a franchise that people are more crazy about.
    2. People who prefer more violence or action find Mufasa too boring like a nature documentary.
    3. A lot of people don't like prequels/backstories, especially to a character that everyone knows died halfway into the original movie. (Yet, the Star Wars prequels did good)
    4. People are too burned from the soulless Lion King remake to give Mufasa a chance.
    5. Disney changed the first story written about Mufasa and Taka.
    6. People are tired of CGI being called 'live action' when practically nothing in it is real stuff. They miss the talent, effort and color pop of 2D animation.
