You misinterpreted what I mean. There are trolls who think Sonic the Hedgehog appeals mostly to those with autism thus regard the majority of the fandom to it. I also notice they think bronies like that as well on Ponychan and other chat boards.

What I was getting at is that there are mostly those who think little of the Sonic fandom in general that Sonic would perhaps never be taken seriously as a video game celebrity outside his fandom. Some who see Mario with rose tinted glasses, or perhaps enjoy Call of Duty, League of Legends, Witcher, Grand Theft Auto or whatever burly leading game and just see us Sonic fans as childish or man-children who like to play games IGN gives bad reviews for. While this isn't the case they often pick on us for having Sonic OCs or point out Chris-Chan or SammyClassicSonicFan as examples when some of us grew up with Sonic and are mature fans. ...................far as I see it, anyone can be a fan of anything, Sonic is a videogame character, not a celebrity, so he counts. His franchise has potential on being like any other video game. It doesn't matter how it performs, every game has different outcomes when it comes to reception in sales. Did you know some people say Witcher series isn't really that good as many people say? Call of Duty, half of them are becoming everyone's least favorite in seperate order (some of the previous games)...League of Legends.........okay, everybody loves midevil worlds...Or GTA's failing but prevailing achievements. Plus, no one was complaining when there were other videogame, cartoon, anime ocs. I may be misinterpreteding this, but it's worth it....people who are mature fans like because how its presented, there sometimes not worried about the performance. Don't worry what people say, they'll always criticize, at least we got what had been asked for years. One of them was a tv show, the second being the movie. It's already getting another reboot, changing Sonic's arms from pale yellow to blue can improve. I'm sure that can be fixed (if something works out and agreements), actually they're tons of things that can be fixed within, but anyways let's move on...I'm going to start another page. "Celebraties" are people who are revered talented and important and people look up to in the media, wherever it be genuine real actors or fictional heroes. Sonic the Hedgehog is a celebraty in the video game industry. But I don't think Sonic's games can compete with the leading brand of popular games we have these days because Sonic still has plenty of bad reputation throughout his history of games. Yes we do take Sonic as a celebraty but we are the fans. Not everyone see's Sonic like we do and we just have to accept that. If Sega announces a brand new Sonic game which is awesome (for example like Sonic Generations) that won't change the mind of those who think Sonic is for whiny little fanboys.

It's like how you think half of the CoD fandom are least favourable or GTA is failing. Regardless Call of Duty series have had a favourable history of games since 2003. They had little negative review and being a game about warfare is regarded for a mature audience, even if some of that audience are whiny little 12 year olds that rage quit. It's the samefor Grand Theft Auto, they're games are regarded as mature since it's about crime and vehical theft. It's not just because of it's mature ratings they're taken seriously but also history of favourable games and reviews.

Now you can say Mario shouldn't be regarded as mature, but what they lack in maturity they make up for with highly respected games and Nintendo's business stradegy to make sure Mario is the Mickey Mouse of the gaming industry.

Yeah Sonic always had the potential to be the "Mickey Mouse of the Gaming Industry" but Nitnendo made sure they were not, and with bad reviews of past Sonic games leaving general gamers to only think so much of Sonic. they either respect him but not on Mario's level, or just think of the fandom annoying and the games not worthy.

Thus why I think Sonic's upcoming movie will mostly appeal to Sonic's fans than any actual hope of being a box-office hit. Don't get me wrong it would be nice if Sonic's movie will be a big cinema hit like major Disney, WB or Pizar movies are but I really doubt it.

On your new comment Mystic, here's what I think you should do. Don't worry about what happens with the movie until its released. I've got confromation on YouTube that it's still being developed...I'm sure after everyone goes sees it, they're going to be some who like it, they're going to be some who don't, especially when it comes to criticism, they're also could be contraversies, will it be worth it? Doesn't matter....at least we got a movie and they tried to make an attempt, at least they tried to please fans/critics/audiences as best as they could...they're are some who will disappointed, but then again, look back and say, "it was actually pretty good,". Think about that.

You can listen to more of my ideas if you don't like my previous ones first. I'm not being demanding, but still. I'm already like that already. I don't want to put too much hope into something that might not be as awesome as I expect, or at least want it to be, but I will still be optimistic that whatever the decisions it'll have in development and production still be good.
