Remember Sonic's cursed appearance from earlier this year? We wish we were able to banish its memory from our pristine minds, but alas. The only thing that's come close is the new trailer for the movie, featuring a Sonic the Hedgehog with far less teeth and bigger, more beautiful eyes. The speedy guy looks way more like the Sonic of our childhood - and Twitter seems to be incredibly relieved and impressed, for the most part. 

While some fans are commending Paramount Pictures for their efforts in "fixing" the blue dude, others are convinced that the first and cursed Sonic trailer was merely a publicity stunt. They believe that this Sonic was the "true Sonic" all along. Whatever the truth, this movie seems like something we might be able to get through. And that's good enough for us.

    Text - JarPogo @JarPogo *puts tinfoil hat on* The cynic in me thinks the Sonic model from the first trailer was specifically made just for that trailer to do 2 things: 1) go viral 2) make the studio appear to listen to the fans and change the model for the movie

    Text - Fran Padilla recovering... @VA_frandesal Putting these side by side, looking at the compositing, I'm now convinced that the old design and trailer were made strictly just for the sake of a publicity stunt But EHHH the new trailer is still really good, and it doesn't detract from how good a job its animators have done.

    Text - Ryan North @ryanqnorth In my CONSIDERED opinion, the fact people are saying IT'S A CONSPIRACY, SONIC WAS ALWAYS GOING TO LOOK LIKE THIS AND THEY DID THE OLD TRAILER TO GET PRESS shows what a successful redesign the new Sonic is, and also how insanely hard the animators worked over the past few months
