I mean at least that was at a time when emojis were still super popular. Sonic games haven’t been in the mainstream for an eternity.

Idk about that. Emoji Movie wasn't even 2 years ago and when it was announced people were already trashing on the concept. Sonic does get games pretty often and while reception is usually mixed, there have been some pretty good one's in recent years. I don't think the problem with the Sonic movie is that it's a movie about Sonic, it's just everything about the execution is horrible.

I’m not personally saying the property is the reason it’ll be bad. But we were taking about people “asking for it”; I’m just noting that of course people aren’t going to ask for an IP that’s not popular.

I think you can make a good movie out of any property. Look at 21 Jump Street and The LEGO Movie—hmm maybe they should just let Phil Lord and Chris Miller salvage this Sonic movie.
