why’s he got a glass of water
That’s one of the best plot summaries I’ve ever read.
As a lover of offbeat cinema, bad movies, and reviewer of same…this opening monologue made it SO FUCKING DIFFICULT to review this movie, because it automatically addresses any and every flaw you have with it.
…And I love it for that

Further evidence
In the second Sonic movie, he refers to him self as ‘hedgehog of the house’ in Tom’s absence instead of ‘man of the house’ further implying his gender is hedgehog

Its due to actor contracts/star appeal most of tiem apparently. Can’t have faces covered too long apparently
…okay now I want a film where most of the action is in space suits colored like power rangers outfits to tell them apart.
This is the perfect idea for use of unknown actors - first roles, people who can body-act well. If they need dialogue, dub voice actors over them. Unknown physical actors combined with well-known, celebrated animation voice actors.
Like, “Okay, the purple astronaut is voiced by Tress McNeil! I think the green one is Mark Hammil? Is the white-suit Jonny Yong Bosch? Oh, dude, duuuude, is that Keston John voicing Blue?”
And it’s all done in-story with sci-fi com-systems so we can hear the dialogue, but nobody’s taking off their helment in a potentially toxic or oxygen-thin or potentially space-pathogen-laden atmosphere.
maybe it could have twist where the astronauts are not human at all.
