I saw it yesterday with [twitter.com profile] lisekatevans and I thought it was just okay.

More within, also spoilers )

The Sonic trailer played before the movie, which caught me by surprise. It's delayed and it was widely panned, so I'm surprised they haven't pulled it. There was no overt mockery in the theatre, because [twitter.com profile] lisekatevans and I were two of five people there, but she was taken aback by how awful it looked. She commented on the usage of "Gangster's Paradise" as the trailer song and I said it was the most Sonic-esque thing about it. I feel like at this point, that trailer is only further hurting marketing.

I was neutral on Detective Pikachu, but it's much better than...that

This is basically exactly what I was hoping for, that they'd use the Breath of the Wild engine and assets to make a new game, the same way they built Majora's Mask on top of Ocarina of Time.

Something buried under Hyrule Castle? Ganondorf's corpse? Demise? It's really just a teaser, but I'm so glad they're taking the route I hoped they would.

(This post is somewhat subdued, but I was half-tempted to just make the subject AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, if that's a hint at how excited I am)
