Protested, Sonic the Hedgehog Director Promises to Change Sonic Model

The Sonic model will be changed.

Adapting comics, video games, or even anime into a live action film is certainly not an easy matter. There are a lot of things that most production houses need to be aware of to keep the adaptation as authentic as the original. Although there are not a few that make it much different like the Netflix series which is covered by the quality of the film and the actors, but not for the film adaptation Sonic the Hedgehog thanks to the Sonic design that doesn’t look like the original. Suddenly the first trailer was criticized by various gamers around the world.

Responding to this, Jeff Fowler as the director of the film said on his Twitter account that he understood that Sonic’s design with his human teeth ignited the warheads of his game fans. He promised fans, Paramount Pictures, and SEGA to redesign Sonic.

Thank you for the support. And the criticism. The message is loud and clear… you aren’t happy with the design & you want changes. It’s going to happen. Everyone at Paramount & Sega are fully committed to making this character the BEST he can be… #sonicmovie #gottafixfast ???

It is not yet clear to what extent they will redesign Sonic. If it’s designed to be similar to the original, then they should at least postpone the film’s already set release date of November 8th to avoid working overtime for the animators and 3D modellers. But if you look at the fans who don’t have a problem with this at all, it looks like they don’t need to rush to finish it.

So far, various Sonics have appeared. I loved all Sonics. I saw a trailer of Sonic’s movie. I was expecting adults to have fun too. I’m worried. pic.twitter.com/QgBfrTJ700

Sonic co-creator himself, Naoto Ohshima said that he really liked some Sonic models. He is concerned and worried that the protests of the fans with the new design made by Blue Blur will not make them have fun with Sonic.
