PewDiePie reveals why he thinks Sonic the Hedgehog is cursed PewDiePie YouTube \/ ParamountYouTube star Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2018 Kjellberg believes Sonic can never be good again and that the character is cursed, citing concerns of the franchise\u2019s quality spanning the last decade and beyond. Sonic the Hedgehog was once a direct competitor to Nintendo\u2019s Mario franchise but has largely fallen off a cliff while Mario has remained popular, despite a few bumps in the road. The quality of the Sonic franchise seems to have peaked around the Dreamcast era and has been struggling the recapture that magic, nearly 20 years later. PewDiePie thinks there\u2019s no hope There\u2019s not a lot of reason to suspect the upcoming Sonic movie will be good if prior video game movie adaptations are anything to go by. Sonic\u2019s initial appearance was blasted by fans online, leading Paramount Studios to announce a complete redo was on the way, but PewDiePie doesn\u2019t sound optimistic. This isn\u2019t his first time making fun of the new Sonic movie either. (Timestamp 4:48) Thank you for the support. And the criticism. The message is loud and clear\u2026 you aren’t happy with the design & you want changes. It’s going to happen. Everyone at Paramount & 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 \u201cYou don\u2019t understand, Sonic is cursed,\u201d he says. \u201cThis is the best they can do, they had a team of experts and this is the best they can do.\u201d He does have a point as there\u2019s a ton of different ways they could\u2019ve gone with Sonic\u2019s design, his video even shows some of the fan edits that look lightyears better than what the movie currently has. \u201cSonic has suffered too long,\u201d PewDiePie explains. \u201cSonic is already dead and there is nothing that can bring him back at this point.\u201d While Sonic is receiving some design changes, it probably won\u2019t change the fact that the movie just probably won\u2019t be very good to begin with.

There\u2019s always a chance it could be good so while we could reserve judgment until the movie releases, there\u2019s just not a lot of reason to have hope right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
