If you’ve yet to feast your eyes on the abomination that is the live-action version of Sonic the Hedgehog, then lucky you. Today, Paramount Pictures have released a shadowed out teaser of our first look of Sonic in the real world.
Even though the movie will almost certainly be terrible, and this reveal was something out of our worst nightmares, at least it will serve as perfect meme fuel. Let’s take a look at the best of the best. Let’s start of course with what kicked everything off.

Paramount is ditching the whole “one big eyeball” look that Sonic usually has, so expect him to look just like everyone’s favorite ice cream.

If Sonic doesn’t look like this, then we’re rioting.

Just look at that protruding eyeball? Who did this? Can it actually please look like the ice cream?
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should. #SonicMovie pic.twitter.com/BDNFwhRl0n

Why hide the hedgehog? Just give it to us Paramount! Let us see. We’ll tell you if he looks bad, don’t you worry.
It's pretty telling that the #SonicMovie poster not only obscures his face, but isn't even in high quality as to avoid further scrutiny. They know they have a stinker on their hands here.

How can they mess up the ring sound?
Literally the one and only consistent element of every Sonic game is the ring sound effect and they couldn't even get that right. #SonicMovie

Is Sonic supposed to the villain in this film? Cause I would be terrified.
The thing that scares me the most about the #sonicmovie right now isn't even Sonic's weird human-like body, but how his eyes are gonna look. The movie studio are ditching the "one eye with 2 pupils" look.
I was hoping they'd just keep his current look but with detailed texture. pic.twitter.com/H7rKhouLsT

Someone’s been doing his leg presses.

Sonic actually looks kinda cute here; I would take this over live-action Sonic any day.

The Sonic Movie… speeds… into cinemas Nov 2019. Did we mention that the movie is being produced by the same person who worked on The Fast and The Furious (what a coincidence); and for some reason, that header doesn’t provide us with any more hope that it won’t be pure garbage.
