It might seem hard to believe, since it feels like a million years ago, but for a time, it seemed like bringing Sonic the Hedgehog to the big screen would be dead on arrival. That all goes back to Sonic’s original cinematic design, and the immediate backlash that followed.
As a recap, prior to the successful 2020 film (which I still think is one of the best video game movies of all time), we got our first trailer for the then-new movie, and my God. I think every Sonic fan had the same reaction: “Look how they massacred my boy!”
