I haven't thought about Detective Pikachu since it came out, I never saw it and people stopped talking about it pretty much the instant it was no longer in theatres. Same with the Mario movie, and the Sonic movie. I'm starting to think all these films aimed at childhood nostalgia are completely empty and meaningless and have 0 actual impact on people because they are the safest, blandest, least interesting thing they can be, made to a cookie cutter formula for maximum profit.

The only thing people remember about the Sonic movie is the original Sonic design and only because at least that was an interesting thing to talk about. I'm not even sure if they'll survive time as childhood memories for gen alpha - like, they have so much stuff competing for their childhood nostalgia, are they gonna remember the mario movies the way that millenials remember the star wars prequels?

I heard Eggman put on a good performance. Aside from the hilarious original sonic design that's all I've ever heard about the movie.

It was surprisingly good, all things concerned, even with the lore retcons. Well as good as any Van Wilder movie can be.
