I'm honestly not sure who's looking forward to this film in regards to the idea that it'll be good. It's the same reason people buy bad games because it's popular to make fun of them. I refuse to believe that the producers of this film genuinely think it looks good

Honestly I have pretty mixed feelings about this trailer. To say at the very least it's exceptionally cringy and I honestly felt embarassed watching it, but on the otherhand I feel so curious on how this will affect the fandom behind the Sonic franchise. I know you can basically Google any name and add in The Hedgehog, and some kind of Sonic OC would probably pop up so I wonder if the fandom would just reject this Sonic design or would it evolve into creating fan made 3D hedgehog OCs in this particular style.
I honestly can't see the movie succeeding, and I'm honestly puzzled by how SEGA would even allow Hollywood to use this sort of design for one of its most iconic IPs. That said though, this may actually be a good move on SEGAs since if this movie bombs hard enough people may forget every single weird and questionable design choice (or at least having people say those design choices (that werehog) weren't so bad) used in the games and opt to focus on this one which may approach the uncanny valley. Possibly people would say in future games "wow this Sonic game is pretty bad, but at least it wasn't as bad as the movie" or the like.

I feel that's hard to say. I feel it is possible that they honestly do like it, and I feel there exist a few possibilities on why they may genuinely think it's good.
I do believe that there is a trope called "American Kirby is Hardcore" or something like that where cute things that are popular in other cultures end up getting beefed up, and getting tougher to somehow connect with the western audience. Kirby itself was always marketed as being cute in its home country, however in some of the old western Kirby commercials advertising the game, Kirby was REALLY mean and nasty (and the commercial kept trying to reinforce Kirby was this tough guy that you wouldn't want to meet in a back alley). It may be a case where the film makers believe that having a more realistic(?) looking hedgehog may attract viewers (or something).
I do believe a second possibility is that perhaps the film makers generally know basically what Sonic and his rival are, but beyond that it's possible they're not fans of the franchise or whatever. It's not unheard of for a director to direct a film for a franchise they really don't particularly care for, and this could be the case. Fans can create some pretty great things that are better than the original because they have a lot of passion and they love the source material for what it is, however I can imagine the opposite could also hold true.
As of late there have been a few movies based on existing franchises, however they feel less like a movie about said franchise characters, but rather about humans with said franchise characters being shoehorned in. I kind of (from a first impression and based on somewhat similar movies) feel like the director will likely try to make a movie about the person Sonic is with and not Sonic itself (which would in my opinion be a lack of passion if the director feels human characters are more important than the characters from the movie they're about (but then again my speculation on the direction of the movie comes from my bias from impression with those Michael Bay movies (granted there some similarities)).
I do agree that people do indeed buy bad products just to enjoy how awful the whole thing is, however I don't think Hollywood would hire directors (and buy the rights from SEGA) to try to make an awful movie just so people can laugh at it (plus I can't imagine a director would be willing to to ruin their name intentionally) so I would feel that the directors feel that what they have is likely good.

I like how you're worried how this will affect the Sonic fandom like it's the only bad thing that has happened to Sonic. Like this is just one more thing added to the pile of nightmare fuel added to the sonic fandom and while everybody is horrified by it, the Sonic fandom is horrified by the fact this came out of a professional movie studio. Will they make OC's based on this forum? Probably not, but a lot of memes are definitely going to come out of it.

From what I've heard on the internet which may or may not be true, SEGA is pissed off about this as well. That's their mascot being.... fucked by a movie Studio for the sake of **ReAIisM** or whatever. It's just fucked.

I probably shouldn't have worded it like how I did or at the very least separated them into two paragraphs. I meant that I was disappointed in the direction of the trailer with it being cringy, but I am honestly interested in (and not against) where the fandom may or may not head with this. It definitely is cringy (and I do expect fans to do OCs based on the hedgehog model/design of this movie considering the other disturbing things that the fandom has created), but at the same time I want to see how this movie may inspire artists to create things (I lack a better way to describe what the more depraved side of the fandom creates other than things).

That may very well be the case. Looking at how SEGA has treated Sonic recently, I honestly wouldn't be shocked if whoever was in charge of the Sonic IP carelessly signed some contract with Hollywood that basically let them do whatever they want while limiting SEGAs power over the movie. I really can't imagine SEGA as a corporation would allow something like this to be created unless they've somehow don't have control over the project (nor have the power to intervene).
