How Fans Broke The Video Game Movie Curse

[@OmegaChase1002]

The best part about the character design changes is Robotnik's slow and gradual transformation into Eggman throughout the entire trilogy.

[@ulv6760]

Carrey had undoubtedly read endless amounts of comics, watched the TV series and studied the games to understand what kind of man Eggman was, what kind of personality existed in the mad scientist in order to form how to make him a reality in the live-action movies. With his personal twist, humor and ingenuity, Carrey has created a new Eggman out of a normal human being with certain... flaws, you could say - and he crowned this with a masterpiece because his alter ego, Gerald Robotnik, was necessary to show Robotnik at his deepest. It took three movies, but the transformation from the mercenary scientist Robotnik to the mad supervillain Eggman has been completed. The work was finished. So Carrey can go his way, because Eggman has been fully developed and I don't think he is willing to stay in a fixed personality, which other potential actors (they must then have a strong resemblance in appearance) can take over. I think a new Eggman will come, who could possibly not only take over the role of the original, but also bring back memories of him - including the boundless hatred for Sonic. What remains is "the big boss" the imperialist ruler that Eggman had been so many times in the comics, the TV series, the games - and that could only happen if the Sonicverse expands from just Earth and humans. It's time for non-humans like mobians, black arms, babylons and others to step forward. Eggman will then partly fade into the background.

Yeah we bullied the shit out of paramount when that first trailer dropped. You simply dont fuck with sonic fans.

[@MIUofficialchannel-ip3bv]

Ikr?

[@grfrjiglstan]

I don't think people realized just how close we came to disaster. The Sonic movie came out February 14, 2020 - just a month before Covid lockdowns started. If the redesign had taken just a little longer, the Sonic movie would've either been delayed by a year, or released to empty theaters, and the big studios would've taken away the lesson of "never listen to the fans, just shove it out even if everyone hates it".

[@thefiresworddragon927]

You mean the lesson the studios took when they got successful movies like Joker 1?

[@roastingnerd8545]

This is insanely well done. I thought you're one of the channels with at least 2 million subscribers, but I got confused because this only had 600 views. Keep it up bro

[@TheLunarBobaCat]

It’s usually the channels with 50- 10,000 subscribers that make the good videos.

[@SvenLikesMilk]

Warner bros didnt listen with minecraft movie

[@comradeopthomasthehedgehog]

Given Warner Bros’s recent track record of being a shitty corporation, yeah I agree

[@Angel_wing26]

to be fair unlike with sonic's model being the only thing that needed to be changed, the Minecraft movie is mainly 75% CGI and would take a lot of money and time to change. plus even if they do change the models that doesn't change the script so its doom to fail

[@LordAxol]

Angry birds and detective pikachu movie was quite good aswell they just didn't suceed like Sonic did

[@Buckleeyeorcottoneyejoe]

Some of the designs in detective pikachu were hella cursed though.

The idea of Video Game Fans being the ones who ultimately saved Video Game Adaptations is kinda poetic.

[@Flakey05]

The Sonic Fandom may have a toxic side but they also have a good side

[@thefiresworddragon927]

An extremely limited good side that seems to only appear in movie form. Cause even Frontiers got shit for "taking too long to release content"

[@infinitydragon3831]

I think after the Angry Birds Movie and the Detective Pikachu Movie paramount started to realize that a video game movie could actually work . And now with the success of the sonic movies other studios are starting to make video game movies like fnaf, minecraft and Mario

[@thefiresworddragon927]

Heh, Minecraft. It'll take the route of the Borderlands movie

[@nathangarcia12]

I think this decade is gonna be for video game movies and I’m all for it

[@BlackFlash09]

It also broke the third movie curse. 😉

[@cailieisidro5758]

[@keithmutamba1395]

Keanu Reeves and Shadow. I’ve been waiting for this my whole life.

[@cailieisidro5758]

Really appreciate this video. While I’m more of a Super Mario fan, I still like the Sonic franchise and each film keeps getting better and better

[@PrincePeno]

The description was the first thing I saw... I'll ignore it and let it slide though. Sonic is generational, but mostly the Sonic fanbase finally did such an amazing thing instead of making us look bad. Proud to be a lifelong Sonic fan

[@knowledgeseeker4614]

Detective Pikachu was also done well.

[@JairoM.]

I know right 👍

[@MrPipo001]

When I looked over at your subs I was left mouth open

[@nagisafurukawa2083]

this video is so well made if you seen anime do one for the one piece live action

[@SONICX1027]

I think it started way back in 08 with Speed Racer. It wasn’t well received back when it was released, but now it’s one of the best Live Action Anime Adaptations, and One Piece is following behind

[@sigma_sam69]

Bendy, hello neighbor, and poppy playtime are all getting movies now too. Not to mention the new FNAF sequel next year. Video game movies may have a chance now possibly

[@multiversecatastrophe]

Indie Game Movies for 2025, hell yeah

[@sigma_sam69]

@ YES BRO🔥🔥

[@user-qv1bu3eq8e]

Honestly, Bendy will probably be the best. Hello Neighbor is an _eh_ game, and Poppy Playtime isn’t even finished yet.

[@sigma_sam69]

@ even if they’re bad I’ll still love them🤩

[@SlvrStryker]

I would also honestly point to movies like Ratchet & Clank and Detective Pikachu, movies that - while, yes, they did toy around with the established lore and story beats from the source material - had enough sense to respect the source material for fans of their respective series. Movies like that walked so that Sonic - eventually - could sprint at supersonic speeds.

[@Ocacadordecasadas]

The best part for me was that at the time j saw the ugly sonic i said ti a friend of mine "They will change it,not because they want, but because i know Sonic fans and they will go bonkers agains this" and i was goddawn right

[@DangerousArmyGuy]

I thought the Angry Birds movies were good too. But I agree Sonic really helped break the video game curse. And they kept on breaking it too.

[@j-2-da-man932]

How is it that I still haven’t seen part 3 yet?

[@kolkagaming1234]

So we had the Angry Birds Movie (it was weird but still good) Sonic The Hedgehog, The Super Mario Bros Movie. So now after these Successors we are getting The Minecraft Movie Next Year which I’m looking forward too.

[@endcaps1917]

To awnser the question We already have It feels like the video game movie curse has finally come to a close

[@nexik680]

How did Paramount make the sonic community comfortable with the redesign?.... They lowered the bar really really really really really really really low.

[@Auricalios]

they changed the design and played it safe

[@jakobnorman315]

I am definitely looking forward to seeing Amy in the fourth movie

[@gregorius.dentang]

I often see people mentioned Fallout, Mario and Arcane as the good series/movies based on video game adaptation. But rarely i see people mention Last of us for some reason why?

[@graczpl2tozajebistykanalkjest]

what paramount even though while making the original sonic movie design

[@hjy07072012]

Shadow! My man!

[@SONICX1027]

With Sonic breaking the video game movie curse, the live action adaptations of anime could be done. 2008’s Speed Racer is regarded as the best one out of the bunch, even though it was critically panned when it came out, but with people now seeing it what it is, especially with the Actors like Emile Hirsch telling praises of it, I think it is time to see if someone can dip their toes to try and break that curse as well

[@Peasham]

I mean nah the movies are still shit, the character design change just means they're profitable shit.

[@victormaze7650]

Plot Twist: It wasn't that fan broke the curse. It just that the animator made a bad design on purpose so everyone can talk about how bad it is even more so that the movie would sell even more after they fix the design. Harder to trust someone then it is to break someone trust, that in a negative sense as in that's what they did with the movie. 9,000 IQ move right there. JK, lol XD There are talks about that but that probably not what happened, I just said that as a joke is all. Lol XD
