First look at live action Sonic the Hedgehog design movie is horrifying

By Mark Rodriguez

Oh man oh man... I don't usually make short random reaction blogs... but in this case how can I not?

I heard rumors of a live action Sonic movie for a while now. SEGA and Sony are teaming up for this one. As far as I can tell the plot will involve Sonic coming to our world and work alongside a cop (James Marsden) to stop Doctor Robotnik (Eggman), who will be played by Jim Carrey. Yikes.

To top it off, we finally get a look at Sonic's silhouette in the movie teaser poster.

Just... good god!! The more realistic body proportions make him look like a regular person with an oversized Sonic mask on. What were they thinking???

I imagine Sonic was going to be CGI, why not just use the classic design with more realistic fur detail or something. At this point I wonder if they'll even keep Sonic's bizzare eyeballs, I think it would go way too far if they gave him regular eyes.

It's too soon to say anything, as this movie won't come out til the end of next year, but so far this is looking like the thing of nightmares. I'll just let the picture speak for itself.

Let's hope the movie has a decent story at least to make it entertaining. I'm not expecting a masterpiece out of this (especially since the movie really should have taken place on Sonic's world and not ours), but let's hope it's at least somewhat enjoyable....

Edit- it sounds like the producers are a little too concerned with grounding the talking blue hedgehog. This includes him learning to increase his speed as the movie progresses but also changing the way his eyes look to make him more realistic. We have yet to see how they'll make his eyes look but it won't be the classic and weird one big eye with two pupils like in the games.

Second edit- I kinda don't want to make a second article on this. This poster has been seen in some theaters.

Some people might claim it's fake, mostly because we just can't believe the movie makers are really going with this, but those all-too realistic human legs do match up with the first poster....

Dragonball- It's time to go beyond Z or end it

By Mark Rodriguez So while the Dragonball Super anime has ended for a few years now, and the Dragonball Super Broly movie is over a year old as well, the Dragonball Super manga has actually continued past the Tournament of Power and Super Broly movie. As this new arc, nicknamed the Moro Arc after its main villain is coming to a close, the question is where do they do from here? Also before you get into this article, I really hope you know your DBZ because there are just waaaaaay too many characters to take the time out to explain who everyone is one by one. Dragonball and Dragonball Z is one of the longest running anime and manga series since the 80's and while it seemed it was put to pasture after Dragonball GT ended in 1997, the only thing left was for the American dubs to catch up. Despite this the love and nostalgia for the series lived on with videogames and the occasional special here and there that would bring back the characters (like the Yo, Son Goku and his Friends Retu

Arachna# 1 Review Spoilers

By Mark Rodriguez Here's another awesome comic from independent artists that opened up an Indiegogo to get it started. I usually don't chip in unless it looks real good, like you just know they're gonna hit their goal. Arachna, a sexy superheroine with a split personality and an amazing art syle, sure looked like a good pick for me. With lots of clever marketing in advance, even getting a person to dress as Arachna herself to bring the character to life, they hit their goal the same day they actually opened the Indiegogo for donations. I chipped in for the comic and the shirt, and here is my review on the latest superheroine that's bringing sexy back to comics, Arachna! Also note, while I'll try to keep my language as tame as I can, this book deals with way more adult stuff than I usually discuss on this blog. The Adventure Begins The issue opens with Jennie lying in bed naked in her apartment, a noticeable pile of sketches lying on the floor. She awakens to a voi

Batman/TMNT Adventures # 2

By Mark Rodriguez Batman was on the hunt for Two-Face who told him he went to another world. The Turtles discover Kraang portals and run into Clayface. As Batman discovers that Two-Face was telling the truth, the Joker and Harley find themselves in New York facing off against the Foot! This issue opens one week early as Harley is being brought into Arkham by security along a soapy floor. Harley 'slips' and takes advantage of this to take out the guards. She sets the Joker free and hands over his trademark outfit while she slips into her own. Joker complains that this break out was boring and lacks the flair he's used to. They both then see the shining Kraang portals. Joker gets and idea and drags the guards around to form a smile (with the portals being eyes) as they make their escape. The Joker explains this to Shredder as he and Harley makes fun of his name. Shredder already lost his patience and he tells Bebop and Rocksteady to get rid of them. Joker offers to show the
