The Reason Why the "Sonic the Hedgehog" Movie Succeeded

Credit to Paramount Pictures

"Sonic the Hedgehog" had a long, difficult journey, which, in the end, was a good thing.

Way back in April of 2019, the internet exploded, and not in a good way. Paramount Pictures released a trailer for a long-awaited Sonic movie. Fans of the famous blue hedgehog found his lifelike design disturbing. Paramount made the right decision by delaying the movie until February of 2020. When a new trailer was released, fans rejoiced. Sonic looked great!

Video game movies have been given a bad rap, and well, they've earned it. Most movies were either so bad that they were forgotten. If they weren't forgotten, that was even worse. One of these movies was the 1993 Super Mario Bros. film. This film is only remembered by how disappointing it was. With all of this, Sonic never exactly had a bright future.

Nonetheless, Paramount was willing to risk it all for a redisign. Finally, in February, Sonic hit theaters. As fans watched, the movie slowly rose to become (according to most critics) the best video game movie of all time. It definitely became the highest grossing, making a whopping $306.7 million. 

Many wondered why Sonic succeeded. Here's why: it was fun and original. Very little of the movie involved the original game. Seeing Sonic in the real world fighting a crazed government scientist with a human friend was exciting and fresh. Fans loved it.

Sonic teased a second movie multiple times after the credits rolled. And just like that, Sonic became a part of history. Due to the coronavirus and the closure of movie theaters, Sonic's delay may make it go down as one of the best movies of 2020.

Until next time, MrEverything4, signing off.

Trump Isn't Down in the Polls: Here's the Truth

Image
Credit to Poynter News over the past few weeks has been very blunt. "Trump Down in the Polls" they say. But it's all false, liberal propaganda, and here's why they're doing it.  President Trump is tired. He's tired because he is constantly being attacked from all sides. His fire began to return after Tulsa, but it's been a few. He's also busy. Busy with protesters, a virus, and fake news. His enemies see this, and have taken advantage of the situation. In 2016, a video was released of Donald Trump. You all know what the video was. Mainly false. But, some of his supporters saw it as the end for him. But... he won. Democrats are trying again. They still can't accept that they lost, and have fought that loss for 3 and a half years. So, since they failed to impeach him, they are just doing their best to keep him from a second term. This is the strategy: DO WHAT WE DID BEFORE WITH THE VIDEO. Ever heard of the power of suggestion? People are suggesting t

Broadway is CLOSED: At Least for a While

Image
Broadway to Remain Closed for the Rest of the Year That's right folks. No more Phantom of the Opera or Les Miserables. At least, not for a while. Today, The Broadway League gave this announcement:  "Every single member of our community is eager to get back to work sharing stories that inspire our audience through the transformative power of a shared live experience. The safety of our cast, crew, orchestra and audience is our highest priority and we look forward to returning to our stages only when it’s safe to do so. One thing is for sure, when we return we will be stronger and more needed than ever," said Thomas Schumacher, chair of the board of The Broadway League.  Ladies and gentleman, this could be a problem for Broadway. We have already seen one very successful and well-known musical bite the dust. That musical happened to be the beloved "Frozen." This is a sign to me that even majorly successful companies {(including Walt Disney) are struggling, and if yo

In 2024, Tucker Carlson May Have a Chance at the Presidency

Image
Credit to Deadline This year is a major year for politics. The goal is to save our country, which is what President Trump can and will do. But... what about the next term? It's clear that the far-left can quickly undo everything that has been done for the past few years. They've shown us that through these past couple of months. That's why it's so important that we follow up with another good Conservative in 2024. A lot of people already have him picked out. WHO IS HE? Tucker Carlson is the host of Tucker Carlson Tonight, a show on Fox News that has been on since 2016. Since then, Tucker's show has risen to become the  number one news show in TV history.  In the meantime, he grew his audience to a shocking 4.331 million viewers on average, beating every other news show in history, including Hannity. Part of this came from a rise in viewers after several major companies stopped advertising on his show due to his Black Lives Matter comments. Instead of quitting, he ju
