Dream log: Well, that's one way to handle the redesign.

Dreamed that we went to see the Sonic movie now that it was apparently out. It was openly, and I mean openly furbait as hell. Like, to the point that they just straight up stole the Group Room (Honey Bee Inn) bit from FF7 only with Sonic and a heavily anthropomorphized, SpelunkerSal's "Roommates" style Roy Koopa and... one of the other koopalings, I forget which but he was bara. This was deliberate; Sal had actually landed a role working on this movie and put this bit of direction in himself.

It was still kind of a letdown, mostly because I was mentally contrasting the ending credits (which, in the dream, were a basic-ass no-frills text scroll set to absolute dead silence possibly for artsy reasons?) to those of Detective Pikachu (which in real life are a ParaNorman/Kubo and the Two Strings-tier feat of fanservice so great that I really want to watch Detective Pikachu again just so I can watch the credits again.)

Woke up with the sobering realization that this is still an improvement over what we're probably going to get.

In all honesty, I firmly believe this is The Right Way for the movie to be.

Sonic has never known what people liked about it, and still doesn't know, so it's always been about throwing shit wildly and recklessly at a wall and seeing what sticks.

This is just another facet of that, for better or worse.
