For the film’s director, Jeff Fowler, there was only one thing to do: win back that trust, and do it fast.
“The fans needed to know that they were being heard, and they needed to hear that from me,” Fowler said about a tweet he sent out just two days after the trailer was released: “The message is loud and clear… you aren’t happy with the design & you want changes. It’s going to happen.”
Why is this so hard for other businesses to understand? Just listen to people and make what they actually want, stop trying to trick them.
It is FANTASTIC that the new Chip and Dale movie brought Ugly Sonic in as a failed-actor convention-hound. (Caption: a still image from the Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers movie (2022) of the rejected CGI Sonic concept for the movies, in front of a fan convention booth with highly dramatized prints of himself. He’s wearing sunglasses high on his head, and a suede jacket, and looks to be in good spirits. He’s holding a permanent marker as though offering a signature.)(Also: I don’t know how to do actual image captions in Sync for Lemmy.)

So Fowler was the one that pushed for an early trailer release. Cool.
I still think they released that terrible trailer on purpose to generate hate and buzz with no intention of that being the final look of sonic.
