The Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie had it's worldwide release on April 8th, and despite reviewer scores giving it a middle report, fan feedback seems mostly positive. Positive enough to create a resurgence in memes about the hedgehog, with some newer ones inspired by the movie and the hype leading up to it being posted around. Though the typical waiting period before talking about spoilers for a movie is usually two to three weeks time, the movie had already been shown in France for over a week before worldwide release, and rules about spoilers were already being broken before the release even happened. Soon enough, memes from the movie itself, instead of reusing trailer images, will begin to appear, with proper memes from still frames being a few months out from here, but they are expected to come eventually.
