Just seemed like overreacting like always.

Maybe, but people plain didn't like it and don't think it's worth giving money for. Even a calmer version of it all ends with people being turned off by the design and quietly going about their day. In some ways, they still have the opportunity to make their money back, and that's good news for the people working on the movie. Look at Hellboy. Nobody was thrilled or excited by it and flopped quietly making no profit.Just seemed like overreacting like always.
Would be interesting to see the cost of the makeover...
‘Sonic’ Redesign Cost Paramount Nowhere Near the $35 Million That’s Been Rumored
A source close to production tells IndieWire the redesign is more in the $5 million range or less.www.indiewire.com
The character redesign has led many in the industry to question just how costly it was to go back into the film and reanimate Sonic. One tweet alleging the redesign cost $35 million and brought the film’s total budget up to $125 million has gone viral with over 10,000 re-tweets. It turns out that number is outrageously high compared to what Paramount actually spent on the change. A source close to the “Sonic the Hedgehog” production estimates the character redesign cost Paramount less than $5 million.
The source says VFX work on the film was far from completed by the time the decision was made to delay the film and redesign Sonic. The only Sonic VFX that were fully completed were reportedly the ones seen in the first trailer, which dropped online April 30. The source tells IndieWire that any rumor alleging the redesign made the “Sonic” VFX team suffer is far from true.
