I posted this on Twitter awhile ago (I might even make a full video on this) and I think it’s worth posting here The core difference between the Sonic movie and Detective Pikachu and why everyone hates Sonic but loves Pikachu is this: Detective Pikachu didn’t sacrifice the game design for the sake of realism

They didn’t try and make all of the Pokemon resemble ‘real’ animals, they all look like themselves; lifted straight out of the games.

And it would have been EASY for them to just include Pokemon that only look like animals, but they’re also including the Pokemon with weirder designs, like Mr. Mime above, and Golurk, which is literally a rock golem

Now compare this to Sonic…

Sonic went too far in trying to make him a ‘real’ animal, resulting in him looking like a hairy little gremlin. He looks like a human wearing a costume…

Like, look at how Detective Pikachu designed Charmander

This comes from the D. Pikachu line of Pokemon cards btw

Now, what if they tried to make him a “real” animal, he’d end up looking something like..

You see the problem?

You made him a real animal, but he only looks like an approximation of what he’s supposed to look like… that’s why people hate the Sonic movie design so much and why you see so many people trying to fix it online.

There’s this weird fear that a distinctly cartoony design can’t work when you’re trying to put a CG character next to real people and that it HAS to look realistic… and that’s simply not true. it’s been PROVEN not true!

Detective Pikachu gets this, their designs are a perfect middle-ground between realistic and cartoon

Let cartoon characters BE cartoon characters

40 y/o white guy: Hey kid, ever hear about Rage Against the Machine? They really told it like it is! Fuck you I won’t do what you tell me!

40 y/o white guy: blue lives matter

[batbitequeen]

RATM: Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses

40 y/o white guy that claims he likes RATM: blue lives matter

[lenins-and-things]

Was it Paul Ryan that claimed to be a RATM fan? Like, nationally? In public? On TV? And then RATM came out and shut him down?

People think that depression is sadness, crying or dressing in black, but people do not know that depression is the constant feeling of being numb. You wake up in the morning just to go back to bed.

The worst thing about anxiety is that you know those thoughts are irrational, you just can’t seem to control them

unpopular opinion: any infographic that does the whole “this meal of consisting entirely of lettuce and apples is way cheaper than a Big Mac, checkmate poor people” thing must use the total price, rather than price per serving.

none of this “well a thing of cinnamon is $8 and each has 200 grams so a gram is like $0.4 and divided by four it’s really only $0.1 per serving.” no. spices cost money. if I have to buy a new spice, that’s more money. how much is one canister? that’s the price.

did I have to buy a new pot for this? how much did that cost?

do I need multiple pots? is there complex timing? do I need to set aside an hour to prep? all that costs money.

when you get fast food, the total price is right there. we can talk about how that total price is artificially deflated due to the exploitation of labor and the industrialization of food, but the fact remains that a ten-piece chicken nuggets meal at burger king is like $6, and making them yourself costs a lot in buying a whole thing of chicken plus flour plus eggs plus spices plus frying oil (not even counting that a meal comes with a side and a drink).

(incidentally, this is an issue with any advice that calls for buying things in bulk because it’s cheaper overall. yes, it is objectively cheaper in the long run to buy the $15 thing of toilet paper at $1/roll than it is to buy the $10 thing of toilet paper for $1.50/roll. but when you only have $10, then you’re getting the $10 one, because that’s what’s cheaper to you.)

THANK YOU I’VE MADE THIS ARGUMENT SO MANY TIMES

I just get so mad when people are like “it’s cheaper to eat healthy food instead of fast food” and then list the cost of one ingredient as if that equals an entire meal. And then ignore all the necessary cooking/prep work needed. It’s dishonest and ridiculous.
