Nightmare fuel. Having said that, Furries are probably going to have a field day with this. Muscle Sonic costumes/fan art incoming!

Y'all remember the overall opinion when that Detective Pikachu trailer was released? Yeah, this is the complete opposite of that.

It's weird. I love the weird, furry look in the Detective Pikachu trailer, but this is just... hard to like. Maybe it'll look better in motion? Probably not, but i can hope

The first thing you'll likely notice about the character is that he has fur -- a bit of a no-brainer, considering what he is, but still a markedly different visual depiction of Sonic than what we're used to. "That was always Stage 1 of adapting it to what the real world is and what a real animal would be like," executive producer Tim Miller said of giving Sonic fur. "It would be weird and it would feel like he was running around nude if he was some sort of otter-like thing. It was always, for us, fur, and we never considered anything different. It's part of what integrates him into the real world and makes him a real creature."

Because as you know, hedgehogs are renowned for having their backs completely covered in........ soft fur.

The most challenging part of Sonic's updated design isn't revealed in this teaser: his eyes. The filmmakers struggled with how best to depict Sonic's eyes because often he's only seen with one, and that wouldn't translate well to the live-action movie.

"I don't think SEGA was entirely happy with the eye decision, but these sorts of things you go, 'It's going to look weird if we don't do this.' But everything is a discussion, and that's kind of the goal, which is to only change what's necessary and stay true to the rest of it," said Miller. "He's not going to feel like a Pixar character would because I don't think that's the right aesthetic to make it feel like part of our world."

This will show the fine line between Pikachu knocking it out of the park and Sonic shitting the bed

I want to see what kinda tone they're going with this before I completely write it off. Based on that design, though... I'm not expecting much.

It's because the Pokemon aren't as anthropomorphic as Sonic is. Much easier to find realistic-looking fantasy animals endearing than it is with some weird human-ape-hedgehog-abomination hybrid.
