The first trailer for Paramount Picture's upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog movie dropped yesterday, and it's fair to say that the reaction online was pretty hostile, with many fans taking issue with how Sonic has been represented in this big-screen adaptation.

As is so often the case in these situations, the passionate Sonic fanbase quickly got to work, and we're already seeing some 'tweaked' versions of the character which are a lot closer to the original design – which is pretty amazing when you consider the amount money that must have been spent on the CGI work seen in said trailer.

What do you make of these tweaked versions? How did the creative team at Paramount get it so wrong? Let us know with a comment.

Meanwhile, whilst browsing Twitter for edited Sonic faces, we couldn't help but chuckle at this tweet. Poor old James Marsden.
