People on Twitter are gnashing their teeth over the trailer for the new live-action “Sonic the Hedgehog” movie.
Mainly because the inside of Sonic’s mouth is terrifyingly human.

The thing bothering me most about Sonic isn't the separate eyeballs or the white chest or the weird legs... it's that he has individual teeth. pic.twitter.com/zPrDhOvL96

Sonic from the #Sonic movie except I've replaced his eyes and nose with his mouth. Which I replaced each tooth with another mouth showing more teeth.

I think it's an improvement pic.twitter.com/6ZqfvwIWgV
Though people seemed excited that the movie also stars a mustached Jim Carrey doing his best Jim Carrey as Sonic’s adversary, Dr. Ivo Robotnik …

PROS
•Jim Carrey
•Jim Carrey
•Jim Carrey
•Sonic sounds alright
•Jim Carrey
CONS
•The CGI could be better
•Sonic’s creepy human teeth
In conclusion Jim Carrey is God
… the CGI hedgehog’s pearly off-whites aren’t the only aspect of the trailer people have issues with.
Some were confused by the trailer’s use of Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise” as well.
you're all talking too much about the Sonic teeth and not enough about "Gangsta's Paradise" playing through the full 2.5 minute trailer
— Claire Shaffer (@claireeshaffer) April 30, 2019
Coolio: "So I wrote Gangsta's Paradise as a commentary on how gang life provides a false safe haven for minorities but also leads them into more misery due to often resulting in more turmoil."
— Ehsan @ Texas Showdown (@EhsanDTT) April 30, 2019
Movie producers: "Sonic is going to go really fast to this because he's a gangsta."

I'm not sure how comfortable I am with them using a parody of "Amish Paradise" in the Sonic the Hedgehog trailer.
— Al Yankovic (@alyankovic) April 30, 2019
gangsta's paradise is actually the perfect song to use for that trailer because it's from the last era when any of us thought sonic was Cool

me: why? why 'gangsta's paradise'? sonic is not a gangsta@saffronscarf: also? sonic does not walk through the valley of the shadow of death, he RUNS.
Yet regardless of how we humans feel about the trailer, we decided to get a hedgehog’s opinion about how the spiny mammal’s stories are being represented onscreen.
The hedgehog’s response?
Valid.
