I think I found out why I'm skeptical and pessimistic about the upcoming Sonic movie.

Marcus.

Let me explain. Under normal circumstances like this, Marcus would not only be talking about the upcoming movie, but he would draw medium with his friends. I used to do that a lot, I would draw my friends and I in media (and more often than not I'd get backlashed for that).

Example, if Marcus were alive today, he would have drawn a picture of him as a hedgehog and me in my old echidna look, snowboarding, and calling me "the winter soldier" like in the movie. I would love it every time he would do that.

But now I won't be getting that. And this movie will be the very first upcoming Sonic medium WITHOUT Marcus! I still miss him badly!

Now, I'm surrounded by people who treat me like garbage. Normally, Marcus would defend me and come to my aid, but he can't anymore.

I honestly can't say I'm happy. That's why I've been a Debbie Downer lately.
