Look how far we’ve come
The hype for Sonic 3 is real, but seeing so much love outpouring for the movie is dizzying considering how the original draft for the live-action Sonic looked much, much worse. It’s been five years since the horrendous original trailer broke the internet and nearly ended the live-action franchise before it started. Now, we’re only a few months away from seeing a much better-looking Sonic face off against Shadow. It’s nice to live in the timeline where that crisis was avoided, but fans decided to remind us what Shadow could have looked like if someone didn’t grab hold of the steering wheel.
It's wild to me that everyone bullied the initial live action Sonic movie into getting rid of their nightmare hedgehog design and now we're on a third movie with Shadow being played as Keanu Reeves.
