Sonic the Hedgehog's new movie look leaked and everybody is pissed
A film style guide for the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog movie leaked online Monday night and literally nobody is happy about how Sonic looks.
The images that were leaked along with the style guide, shown below, have been making the rounds online and eliciting some strong reactions. It's not really surprising considering how unsettling and off Sonic looks.
The film style guide, which was leaked when branding and design firm Hamagami/Caroll, Inc. published it Monday on a page that has since been removed, shows a handful of angles of that might depict the new "live action" Sonic as well as some descriptions of his personality. The personality is pretty spot-on, but wow that look is not great.
Reactions can pretty much be summed up with this one tweet:

Some people have noted that the biggest issue with this design lies in the eyes. Normally Sonic's two large eyes connect to each other and his pupils and irises are more like skinny ovals.
Twitter user Guppinas tweaked Sonic's eyes just a little bit and made his blue hair just a little darker and it looks much more like the Sonic we all know.

This other edit connects the whites of the eyes, which still looks better than the leaked design.

It's possible that this is all just a flaw of trying to inject Sonic into a live action world, and that no matter which way you try to spin his design, it's going to look unsettling with more detail.

Of course there's also jokes abound.

Hopefully for the sake of all these disappointed fans this doesn't turn out to be the final design of the blue hedgehog for his live-action debut.
