You know what? Good on them.

 

[Brain Power]

The new release date is just perfect
From the twitter thread

 

[Quijibo69]

They should pull the release date to never.

 

[vertexwindi]

Eh. At the very least they're willing to listen to feedback. That's better than Disney at least.

The movie is still likely to suck and be a sonicsperg magnet, but I have a lot of newfound respect for the director and studio for actually listening to the audience and caring about what people actually want instead of listening to vocal minorities like angry blogs or sjw types, or not listening at all. Take notes Disney.

The movie just got delayed to 2020.

Sonic The Hedgehog Movie Delayed Until 2020 - IGN

Following the Sonic The Hedgehog movie's director Jeff Fowler's decision to fix Sonic's design after fan outcry, he has now announced that the film will be pushed back to February 14, 2020 to make the iconic character "just right."

I shouldn't be laughing because of those poor animators, but I'm dying over here.

Friendly reminder that not even Michael Bay's Ninja Turtles had to be delayed despite the similar reactions to Mikey's face, they stuck with it and fixed the models for the sequel. Just what were you thinking, Paramount?

Still, good on them.

Wow, I'm really genuinely surprised that they're doing this. Guess there's nobody giving a fuck about the release date being hit on the international market or anything.

The funny thing is that the trailer's still gonna be shown in theaters. I just saw Detective Pikachu today, already knowing this news, and that shitty original trailer was still there. It was so weird knowing that the trailer in the theater isn't going to even represent the movie a year from now.

Disney would never do a thing like this because they only care about money.

Sure, the Sonic movie will still suck despite probably making a shit ton of money (little kids will flock to see this), but at the least Paramount is going to great lengths to not bash the audience and give them what they want. That, to me, should be what a studio should do, be a democratic populist for the filmmakers and audiences.

Do kids even care about Sonic? The only people I can think of who do are middle aged profoundly autistic spergs.

Even if Sonic's redesign is perfect, that will not fix the movie's awfulness.

That said, I do highly commend the director for listening to the backlash in a really mature and nice way. That almost makes me want to see it? I really don't want to see it though, lol.

I kinda want to see it just to show support for the director’s way of thinking.

I half expected them to call the critics manbabies or basement dwellers or some form of -ists. It's honestly sad that out of all movies, it's the Sonic one that actually ends up being the most reasonable and not resort to name calling the customers. Just goes to show how far up its own arse Hollywood really is.

The official Sonic Twitter is also one of the few non-shitty corporate Twitters.

Uh oh! He's still has blue arms everyone.

Joking aside I probably won't watch it for my ow reasons.

The director seems like a pretty cool guy.

I think what I enjoy most about this is that nobody's getting called a troll or russianbot for disliking or criticizing something. The people in charge are acting wonderfully civil to boot. I'm almost tempted to see this piece of crap just to support this kind of attitude, but I really REALLY don't want to endure 2 hours of mediocre writing surrounded by college and basement dwelling Sonic fans of all ages acting like complete retards, waxing nostalgia about wanting to fuck Snively or Sally fucking Acorn, flirting in fursuits or complaining about fucking arm colors...

Could always just buy a ticket and then watch something else.

Don't think this has been posted but Nadeem has got a good take on what the movie should've been(timestamped to his pitch).

(the whole video is pretty good)
