were lockdowns happening in around February of last year
Mid March is when they went from a few places on the West Coast to the entire country. So Sonic was one of the last big name movies to come out.
I get the feeling there'll be a lot more retarded takes about how Knuckles is 'coded black' in the near-future
Knuckles has been the "black dude" of the Sonic Team for a long time. So much so they got a black dude to make raps for every stage of his on Sonic Adventure 2 over 20 years ago. Of all characters to make black, that's probably the least problematic.
They will probably write extra retarded articles about it, but literally everything about Sonic (except the movie by some magic) has been retarded for a long time anyway.
I wasn't big into Sonic until the Adventure games to know where the fandom was then, but even if it just started with Adventure that was fucking '99. But that's still 20 years of association from the top down.
I wouldn't call it out if they went with a white guy for him, but of nearly any character getting voiced by a black dude Knuckles is the most fitting if not even more so.
Is the movie really as good as I keep hearing it is?
90% of the movie is carried by Jim Carrey, though not because the rest is bad he just completely dominates with every line. Its hard to actually even fathom how genuinely funny the movie is, despite having seen it numerous times.
But Carrey is also a complete fuckwit, so I understand if you have issues with those involved and don't want to support.
