It\u2019s no surprise the original Sonic the Hedgehog design revealed in the original movie trailer left a lot to be desired, which led Paramount to announce a redesign was in the works. This led some fans to offer their own take on what the new Sonic design could be, including PewDiePie. However, PewDiePie is an entertainer above all else so it doesn\u2019t seem like he was designing a new Sonic the Hedgehog for the purpose of getting it used in a movie but for memes instead.

Thanos the Hedgehog? Pewds made a video showing him trying to fix Sonic\u2019s design, something he has been rather critical of in the past, even going so far to call Sonic cursed. Instead of creating some real concepts for Paramount to use, he took his talents elsewhere and created a Thanos, Shrek and Dr. Phil design. PewDiePie didn\u2019t stop there as he also designed a Shrek the Hedgehog and Dr. Phil the Hedgehog in Photoshop. These are pretty much nightmares brought to life so while Sonic wasn\u2019t exactly fixed by this video, it\u2019s clear there are some much worse Sonic designs out there outside of the initial design. Take this Dr. Phil design, for example, as it looks more like a nightmare brought to life. One thing we can be thankful for since the bad design came out is the door was opened to countless memes and for artists to offer their takes. Last, but not least, we have Shrek the Hedgehog, which speaks for itself. What is Sonic\u2019s new design? Paramount hasn\u2019t revealed what Sonic the Hedgehog\u2019s new design will be in the upcoming film, but we do know it will be looking different than what was first seen. Thank you for the support. And the criticism. The message is loud and clear\u2026 you aren&#8217;t happy with the design &#038; you want changes. It&#8217;s going to happen. Everyone at Paramount &#038; Sega are fully committed to making this character the BEST he can be\u2026 #sonicmovie #gottafixfast :wrench::victory:\ufe0f \u2014 Jeff Fowler (@fowltown) May 2, 2019 There\u2019s no telling if the movie will end up being successful, given the track record of video game movies as a whole, but getting a more faithful Sonic design will go a long way to making it have a better chance at success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PewDiePie redesigns criticized Sonic as Thanos, Dr Phil and Shrek YouTube star Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2018 Kjellberg did his best in creating a new Sonic the Hedgehog design for the upcoming movie, it\u2019s just unlikely any will be used.
