I'm just now finding out they did a full recast on Sonic the Hedgehog again. Kurt Thornton is no longer Shadow and Roger Craig Smith is no longer Sonic. I had some very strong opinions more about Kurt Thornton and I'm kind of glad they did a recast. I'm more disappointed that they recasted for people who sound similar instead of just shaking the whole thing up. If you're gonna recast the voice actors why not just go ahead and change the voices to make them sound different and distinguish them from the previous actors? The only one that I could actually tell had been recast was Doctor Eggman because he only sounds slightly different at first, but then he sounded more like his previous voice actor. I also have very strong opinions about how they unceremoniously change voice actors with Sonic the hedgehog. Unceremoniously changing an entire cast is pretty rare throughout the entire industry, but very common when it comes to Sonic the hedgehog. I don't think it's right. It's a disservice to the fans.
I also just saw the news that they will be casting Keanu Reeves as Shadow the hedgehog and Sonic the hedgehog 3. I might actually watch it. I still have a lot of strong opinions about casting Jim Carrey as Dr Robotnik instead of finding somebody who actually looks like the character, but I can make a stretch for Keanu Reeves. It better be good, though. I want to be absolutely clear that I'm here for Keanu Reeves, not Jim Carrey.
