Honestly, I'm not entirely sure what I want from this movie other than what I've already stated with Casshern movie being an example.

Like most here I agree I don't like the idea of CGI over live action, I preferl all CGI myself. But I'm optimistic and hope the movie will be awesome, all I really want is for the movie to mostly be live-action over CGI. I would like the movie to be mostly CGI and only use live action when it's really neccisary.

This is why I always bring up the movie Casshern. The whole movie is over one and a half hours long, in yet most of the live action scenes were filmed infront of a blue screen or in small sets for interior scenes which themselves had blue screens. The rest of the movie was mostly CGI. I think there were like, 5 scenes that were filmed on actual sets and even then they were heavily edited afterwards. The majority of the movie was CGI with actual actors portraying the humans and neo-sapiens. The rest such as cities, fortresses, mountains and even robots and machines were all CGI.

The movie will have humans in it, predictable thats gonna happen, so if the movie will have an imaginative and fantastic world with zone like terrains everywhere (looping paths, corkscrew rocks, large square clods of dirt levitating for no reason) and the CGI directors will try and make it as realistic as possible, then they might as well have actual actors infront of blue screens to save virtually making not-so-convincing humans and ruin the realism.

If anything I think it be better that way given how conflicted I feel between the animeish style of humans in Sonic Adventure and their cartoonish style of humans in Sonic Unleashed. Just pick any NPC human from Sonic Unleashed and they'll look like a stand in for a Bugs Bunny short.

As for the story, I really don't mind if it's nothing to do with canon and set in it's own universe like most cartoons and comics are. If confirmed a trilogy then the first movie will perhaps be about origin, but I think it's mostly gonna have the characters how there are and how things are going to get worst, like the final days before war or great conflict. The second movie will be about the struggle of the conflict and the last movie the climactic ending to the major struggle. If the movie wants to explain why Sonic is blue or whatever, thats fine, but I don't really think it's neccisary. It be like asking "Why the dwarves left the mountain" or "Why are the Avengers a team?" No one cares why the Avengers are working together or there obligations. We just wanna see them fight aliens, robots or eat shawarma. As for the dwarves, they explained all that around a table with some scenes than the actual need to show it all.
