He ought to stick to playing blue skinned characters.


:lol:

Limited role options mind: Smurfs, Avatar and possibly playing Beast in a future X-Men movie?

See the previous page, he could also play Sonic the Hedgehog.


Not even Will Smith deserves that indignity.


Now this is a story all about how,
I ran 'round the loop, turned upside down,
Finished the act in a minute, coz I gotta go fast,
I'll tell you how I became super and beat Eggman at last.


Ban request for using “Eggman” instead of “Dr Robotnik”

Yeah, you're right I should probably stop


...



In West Sandopolis born and raised,
On the springs is where I spent most of my days,
'Peelin out, dashing, spinning all chill,
All playing some spinball outside of Green Hill
When a couple of badniks were acting all hard,
Started making trouble up in my Spring Yard,
Got in one little boss fight and Tails got a fright
He said you're moving with Knuckles and Amy in Star Light.

Pretty good, Jenuall, I'd give that a high 8/10.

A) Robotnik is his actual name, Eggman is a nickname
B) The film is using the name Robotnik

Wait, since when was it that? Robotnik was the western name. And the Japanese name was Eggman. Hence everything being called the something egg.

Yep, Eggman was the original name. The West tried to rewrite the backstory and things like the Eggman name when marketing the game to the US, hence Robotnik and all the chilli dog bullshit that got tacked on to the character.

Since Yuji Naka said so.

He, along with the others who originally designed the game, also said they didn't like what the West tried to do to the series.

They essentially "gave in" and adopted the western name as a way to try and deal with years of division and confusion between the series eastern and western fans.

Eggman sounds strawberry floating stupid anyway, Robotnik sounds way better.

Not the point really. Was it Japan or American who wanted Tails to be called Miles. You also have all the gooseberry fool from before Sonic Adventure taking place on Mobius in the west where it's all set on Earth in Japan. Though I hated human people in Sonic. So.

I mean, what are people actually expecting here? It's a film about Sonic the Hedgehog, of course it's going to be disappointing.

Interestingly the "Sonic cycle" doesn't seem to have applied to the movie - everyone has called it for being gooseberry fool straight away!

It's amazing how wrong they've managed to get Sonic in comparison to Detective Pikachu. And the Sonic designers only had to do one character....

Saw this on Reddit. While not perfect, someone made a few edits which makes Movie Sonic look a hell of a lot better...
