Sonic is ugly.
I didn't know that there was a new movie called Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers on Disney Plus since my child is only old enough to look at cards. I was made aware of it after seeing several clips from it.
Yes, that Sonic is ugly.
The joke is that Chip and Dale run into a version of Sonic that was in the first trailer for the movie. The internet collectively melted down at how bad he looked to the point where the filmmakers apologized and decided to make a more game-like Sonic for the final product, no doubt a huge amount of work.
The thing worked. The Sonic movie was a huge hit and the sequel was also a huge hit.
But ugly Sonic? I want more of this guy, and I'm pretty sure he deserves his own Paramount Plus series, assuming that Disney has the rights to the Sonic movie.
I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson is an excellent comedy series that is coming back for a third season. Robinson's performance could be a grim comedy hit. There is a show proposed in the Chip and Dale clip that is called Ugly Sonic: Uglier Crimes. Yes! Just do it! It was perfect.
The real Sonic is ugly.
With the success of the second Sonic the Hedgehog film, there will be a third movie where the character is voiced by Parks and Rec star Ben Schwartz, but a Robinson Ugly Sonic series is too funny not to consider on Paramount Plus, which really could some extra motivation for subscriptions at the moment.
Will anything come of this? The clips are going viral, and SEGA seems goofy enough to greenlight something like this if they don't think it will damage the brand. I suppose it could be a risk if they decide to go MA-rated and foul mouthed with it, but who knows.
I hope this article is the first domino in a series of events that will lead to someone taking notice and getting it done.
