Monster Zero x SciFi Japan - Archive Only

I fail to understand the whole CG/live action = poison. Isn't that Transformers, Gollum/LotR/Hobbit, King Kong, Avatar, many major summer blockbusters full of visual are anyways? I get it though, Smurfs shouldn't have been half and half, nor take place in modern day New York.

As for the games, Colors was well received and Lost Worlds wasn't as good but better than usual.

The only thing about the live action-CGI mix I have is that I don't want Sonic in our world. It may make it a bit cheaper to make but I hate the Masters of the Universe syndrome it causes. It just makes me fear that they're going to make .

But it seems weird that they're making a movie and not basing it on the upcoming cartoon series they're making. Seems like it'd cause a bit of brand confusion.

I think the whole CGI/live action mix = poison thing comes from stuff like the Smurfs, and Garfield, and Marmaduke, etc.

I mean, it works for Kong and Transformers and stuff because that's the technology now and those movies have a completely different tone and universe of existence. Kong exists in our world, and thus he's just actualized on screen in CGI.

Sonic exists in a world where an evil doctor has transformed the animal inhabitants into mindless killing machine robots, foxes with two tails can fly, and powerful emeralds grant one the ability to turn into a super saiyan.
Whatever universe that is, it's not a blend of CGI and live action.
