OK, it is time to put on your foil hat when it comes to the new Sonic movie.
What if this entire trailer was a way to judge reactions so they could make any changes before the debut. I mean, this is 6 months away. That would be plenty of time to alter Sonic's appearance, maybe change some storyline with editing, or fixing plotholes.
You can take off your foil hat now.
That would be nice, but I think the true explanation is that Paramount is crazy. They're also making a Dora movie. Their executives are just doing too much cocaine.
