Sonic the Hedgehog as a movie was always a collar-tugging proposition, but a recent movie poster teaser has gotten a lot of people scratching their heads. Even former Sonic the Hedgehog developers are having trouble understanding what is going on here. So of course, when something that strange comes about, the internet as a whole goes crazy, and that produces some of the best stuff the internet can put out.
We’ve gathered some of the best (and, uh, hopefully safest) Sonic the Hedgehog movie…let’s call it fan art and reactions. Feast your eyes on what people think Sonic will look like in his film debut and how they feel about it. Keep in mind, he’s still a very naked and seemingly muscular humanoid hedgehog, so while we’ve tried to keep out anything too bad, don’t be shocked if your boss has some words for you if you’re laughing along at work.

It remains to be seen what Sonic actually looks like in the movie once he steps out of the darkness and into the spotlight. After the brouhaha over what this current design looks like, however, I would not be shocked to see Paramount go back to the drawing board. There may only be so much they can do with principal photography being either complete or near-complete on the movie, but they can probably make it look more palatable to the general audience.
