man i have mixed feelings on this
I do think the design is so much better if it was indeed real but I'm just thinking of the back-breaking crunch labor that needs to be re-performed by the artists to meet the quota, as, if the height of the new design is changed, pretty much every scene has to be reshot and rerendered. And it's all over a movie that is still probably going to be very mediocre from the looks of things, just without a Sonic that wants you to tear your eyes out by the sight of it.
Still, assuming the design is real, it's good to see Hollywood arrogance gets up theirs but I almost think it's just not worth saving the movie.
