Why do film companies have such a hard time sticking to the source material?

It honestly doesn't look as bad as it could have.

user it's a live-action sonic, it doesn't matter if it was as faithful to the games as possible it was dead on arrival

In this case it's because Sonic's model wouldn't work in a CG movie that also had real people. His mouth would be annoying and inconsistent, the eye(s?) would be more jarring than usual, the big hands would prevent any sort of physical interaction with human characters, and if they're shrinking the hands they gotta do the feet too.

That being said, if the one on the left is real, it's almost as bad as the original would've been. He looks like an animatronic from some sort of special level of hell evil furries would go to.

It looks exactly as bad as it could have.

Americans believe their stuff is superior to Japanese. They are delusional and too self righteous. Otherwise things like this never happen.

To be "real"
>buhwuh, huh? How can he be so fast with that silly looking body?
We'll give him a runners body.

>This doesn't look a Hedgehog, that will confuse the audience!
We'll give him more animalistic features that'll fix it

The entertainment industry is just like any other business. It's absolutely saturated with assholes whose constant need to obfuscate how redundant the existence of their own job is actively works against the quality of the product that's being produced. Every boardroom in the country has several "experts" in it who make broad, frequently changing generalizations about what will get people to buy tickets. At least a few of those guys were sitting in the room, desperately trying to justify their paycheck when fat cats were looking at the most recent Sonic slideshow. It's why good writers add throwaway scenes to screenplays and good artists deliberately kneecap their initial designs, so when the vultures have at it they'll make the obvious criticisms instead of tearing perfectly suitable things apart just to look busy.

Amerimutt sonic is just furry trash

i like it

because they need to find a way to balance appealing to original fans who literally want to see the source material on the big screen and the vastly superior numbers of casuals who refuse to wrap their heads around or engage with anything that's too far outside the realms of normality and what they've already seen a thousand times before.

“mom said its my turn to play the game”

Sonic is super casual you mutt furry

It's a decent design (if kinda muddled) it's just a terrible Sonic.

American Yea Forums furries desperately defending this furry garbago

literally who is defending it?

because the film company doesn't own the rights to those designs. The same reason pharma companies keep seeking artificial compounds that mimic naturally occurring substances

The people in charge of making final decisions are absolute idiots who have no idea what they're doing who have the first paragraph of a Wikipedia article text within their brain and that's what they work off of.

Nepotism is disgusting. It's ironic that those who green light and fund this have 0 talent whatsoever.

The producer from The Fast and Furious obviously has no idea what they're doing in doesn't give a fuck.
