#14- Trending, Gotta Go Fast

"Dear God, please kill it with fire."- Jonah Rathburn
  Recently Sonic has been trending on social media, but this time it's for a good reason. As many know the design for the live action Sonic movie featured above was......not well received. The CGI specialists went to work after the outcry's against sonic's creepy incarnation flooded the internet a few months back. The team did a complete redesign of the character and some aspects of the film. 

 This is the one time complaining on the internet actually got something done. The memes ran rampant and bombed the twitters of anyone associated with the film. The original trailer was honestly pretty terrible, that's me being lenient. The new design was a hit with long time Sonic fans such as myself. While the old trailer caught flack for featuring the song Gangster's Paradise by Coolio I almost wish that they had kept it, I found that usage hilarious. However, this new less terrifying Sonic is a drastic improvement. All in all he seems more expressive and closer to the character we all know and love. After the success of Detective Pikachu this  film is trying to live up to the hype and keep the video game movie curse broken for good.
