You know, this is maybe a weird response to this because everyone is apparently the biggest stan to one of the dumbest "major" game characters and we all have "Live and Learn" on our Spotify playlists and can't bear to see a hedgedude having weirder proportions than we envisioned...but I've been incredibly excited about this Sonic film. Everyone's getting weirded out by this unnatural looking Sonic, because fuck I dunno whatever we all have our kinks. I think the (hedge)dude looks like trash but also it's a Sonic film so holy shit so what? I bought Toejam and Earl Panic on Funkotron on the Genesis because it included a pack in fruit roll up because I was a chubby dumb child and now this shit is happening and we're all super fucking above it? Whatever. But I'm a big fan of the Doughboys podcast and "friends of the show" Evan Susser and Van Robichaux have been linked to the film, as well as, ya know, funny guys like Ben Schwartz. It's weird to me that so many genuinely hilarious people, especially in a more modern/subversive style of humor, would be attached to something and yet everyone would totally shit on the project. Like...if you don't know these dudes or whatever, I could see it. But there are names that I'd genuinely say are way too fucking funny to be attached to something as truly stupid as a Sonic feature film, and yet here we are. I'm still weirdly optimistic.



It's just odd that details come out that make people wanna raise an eyebrow and go...oh wait, is this maybe self aware? Like, yes, dude, holy shit, maybe check into a lot of the dudes working on this.
