Nope. 😛 There are quite a few fans who are still interested and excited about the movie, though I can’t say I’m one of those fans myself.
Not everyone has to feel the same way about everything, y’know. No one likes an echo chamber.
I feel like this response is full of shit and made to de-legitimize what’s otherwise a quite apt negative response – which needs to be said in a situation like this. Sonic movie, so far, looks like something that’s in the hands of people who does not in any way care for the source material. The prime audience who wants it, however, are invested, and will call out on foul.
But it guess this kind of a rebuttal comes with a side of nice and warm internet-smug cookies, the whole thing about being “calm and collected” compared to all that “internet hysteria”.
The hysteria is warranted and a big amount of fans cry foul, and this meme is quite a good representation. If anything, I’ll go as far to say the “quite a few fans” are simply a minority that can be overlooked, compared to the mountains of rage and disappointment.
Let’s focus on how this movie looks and feels, and not the fans who, in this scenario, say it the way it is: looking so far disloyal and unappealing. Even if it’s a joke made at the expense of the fanbase to showcase just how clingy they are (as you were theorizing in another post), just the fact that they felt it necessary to alienate and make fun of the most loyal part of their potential demography to boost their promotion – I think that already says a lot about where they’re standing when it comes to their approach in developing this cinematic depiction of Sonic.
I can appreciate the irony of a balloon-chesticled Fem!Sonic lecturing me about character integrity.
At least I’m honest about my fetishes. I could have been one to stay in the eternal limbo of “I don’t wanna be TOO weird – but I’m obsessed with Eggman, just gonna play it safe for the internet creds.”
So having a favourite character automatically equates to having sexual lust for them.
tumblr is like wading through everyone else’s garbage until you find something good and go “ah. this is good” and take it and display it in your own garbage pile
Did you mean Australian Bowerbird?
We collect pretty rubbish and decorate a nest to attract a mate.
never make a suicide joke again. yes this includes “i wanna die” as a figure of speech. swear off of it. actually make an effort to change how you think about things.
find something to compliment someone for at least 4 times a day. notice the little things about the world that make you happy, and use that to make other people happy.
talk to people. initiate conversation as often as you possibly can. keep your mind busy and you wont have to worry anymore
picture the bad intrusive thoughts in youe head as an edgy 13 year old and tell them to go be emo somewhere else
if someone makes you feel bad most of the time, stop talking to them. making yourself hang out with people who drain you is self harm. stop it.

That’s some pretty good advice. I don’t know what’s left of my humor after ‘guess I’ll just die’ jokes but it’s worth a shot.
Personally i went from “guess I’ll die” jokes to “IF I HAVE TO BE HERE FOR 5 MORE MINUTES I PROMISE YOU I WILL BUY JUST, AN ARRAY OF CLOTHES.” and other wild hyperbolic stuff. Just replace the death part with something ridiculous and off topic. Its very entertaining
This also works with calling myself things like stupid, worthless, trash, etc. Even if you do this jokingly to yourself, your brain still believes it, and keeps up the cycle. Seriously, I found that when I stopped saying these things about myself, even jokingly, it made a massive difference.
Here’s a tip I picked up from a friend that’s helped me a lot — replace self deprecating jokes with ironically self aggrandizing jokes
Like every time I trip and fall, instead of saying “l’m just a disaster human” I say “I’m the epitome of grace and beauty”
Or like, when I draw a picture I’m not 100% happy with, instead of saying “my art is trash” I say something like “you know I think it’s time we replaced the Mona Lisa”
When you do that you get to make a joke, but you’re ALSO getting practice building yourself up, y’know?
And eventually it becomes a reflex and you get so used to it that you can say nice stuff about yourself even when you AREN’T joking
Thank you but why the absolute fuck would I want that
First of all, HECK YEAH SHADOWS OF ALMIA! Secondly, I have actually asked for a glass of hot water at a restaurant before. It was outdoors and it was like forty degrees (fahrenheit) outside. They literally brought me a steaming glass of water so hot I couldn’t even drink it until it was almost time to leave. It was wonderful.
