This show felt like a regression to the first Sonic movie in the sense it has almost nothing to do with the games, but the first movie at least had the saving grace of Eggman and Sonic actually being main characters.
What blows my mind is how obsessed studios are with cinematic universes yet the Knuckles show does *nothing* to expand the Sonic movieverse. I guess except introduce Iblis. Great addition.
Expanding the universe is a frustrating point in this cause I would love to see the adventures of him getting the flames of disaster. Like sonic fans screaming how cool the idea was.
Can we please stop getting modern adaptations of older media where the original characters get sidelined by the new writers' OC's going through painfully boring drama?
I had this crazy idea that a Knuckles show would be Knuckles training Wade to be a better warrior/cop, And then a former employee of Robonik's comes after the Sonic crew for revenge and power, but Knuckles and Wade take him on together. Wade gets and arc about believing in oneself and doing things he didn't believe he could do, while Knuckles learns to not take things so seriously and finds his place as a mentor and teacher. Apparently that's all too complicated for Hollywood to give us.
Thank you for actually giving a real criticism with valid criticisms and not just racist because: 1. I love your content and I'd be really sad if you turned out to be awful 2. There's way too many movie reviewers on this platform who don't give a shit about movies and instead just complain black women showing up in franchises they don't care about that have women of color in them since the 2000s. It's so refreshing seeing a negative review of a modern movie that isn't just dogwhistles and buzzwords meant to make children angry
"lets make a TV show based off the sonic movie" "Ah so about Knuckles right?" "Eh we'll advertise it like that, but I think our ESG is looking a little low, any characters in the movies we can make a case for being progressive?" "You mean the slightly fruity cop?" "Yeah sure whatever make the focus on him."
clearly the work of trying for a ‘lighting-strike-thrice’ but by scaling said lightening back a little bit back, it hit for someone, somewhere else. (Also like the half reference to red letter media)
Thank you for this, thank fucking God I’m not insane for thinking this was a genuine 2/10 at best. I would have stopped at episode 3 if I wasn’t at a watch party. All six people involved agreed this was just nonsensical madness with no right to have Knuckles in the title. I hadn’t felt genuinely insulted as a viewer since the reveal of the DMC reboot. Then the positive reviews came pouring in. I assumed they were paid but they didn’t stop. I’m glad I’m not alone in realizing this aimless mess of a show has no reason to exist aside from lowering hype for Sonic 3.
You're not alone. While making this video I really thought people would hard disagree with me, Twitter really made it seem like people really liked this show.
so in these movies Sonic Adventure isn't canon but Sonic 06 is but it happened offscreen and starred Knuckles. awesome. can i have what they're smoking
I refuse to believe that heavy drugs weren’t extensively used by the people that made this show. The Sonic movie universe isn’t going to go far if they insist on making it more about boring human characters that people couldn’t be coerced to give a half a damn about.
I can’t for sonic 3 to have shadow be basically a side character and for the writers to have completely cut out Amy and rouge from the adventure 2 story to make way for the completely new OC human characters because why would they want to introduce some of the main female sonic characters in the third sonic film, like if they have Tom or his niece from the past two films take Amy big moment of showing shadow humanity isn’t evil I’m going to lose it
You know thinking about this and looking at the Ninetndo video. Has made me think about future of Sonic. To be honest I have no clue what future this series holds. It is like playing a lottery . However, it has made me wonder about Sega’s problem. There are many things that are problematic for this company. Sega lets fans in Sonic media which some would see sega as better. However, this could be a problem too. With the franchise not having a single vision. I feel like that is one also small problem of a bigger one that i am not seeing.
I understand your frustration of a terrible product ruining interest in the rest of the series, however in retrospect it can also be the warning sign before the crash. Back when the Avengers sequels were being made I'd heard rumors of fenimism attempting to be pushed despite Stan Lee's wishes, but wrote it off as an uninformed attempt to spark more publicity with controversy, never gave it a second thought because they'd been sticking pretty close to the comic sources. Then Captain Marvel was genderbent in Infinity War & Endgame, I ignored the red flag since I'd also heard they'd be moving into the multiverse direction and already knew there were a handful of such alternate characters, besides he wasn't a favorite character and had Superman overpower problems and correctly guessed she wouldn't have a big part. For me the tipping point was Thor Ragnarok with how they disrespected Thor narratively and Bruce emotionally; the former despite being a lifelong warrior is outclassed by a wannabe mercenary and has her lead the way for sudden and arbitrary reasons, the latter experiences increasingly concerning psychological trauma on par with incurable diseases like alzheimer's yet nobody takes him seriously. Then when Mr Lee died the following year, this one-off emasculation and replaceability started becoming common place in the following movies, and they were insultingly obvious about it after Endgame. Tried to enjoy Ant-Man & the Wasp but was disappointed how he was getting shoved to the side when he should be the protagonist, Captain Marvel got her own movie but the trailer alone was enough for me not to watch it, still put off I didn't see another avengers movie until Thor Love & Thunder but ended up walking out because he was treated even worse than all of his previous movies combined. Since then I haven't bothered watching anything from the MCU that released after 2017, and public complaints about the newer movies have only affirmed I made the right choice to give up on the franchise.
Fight me, final boss. I'm coming for your butt. There's no way this garbage is worse than velma, I can't believe it O_O but I will. Because if you can't trust Hauntlich who can you trust. Edit: Nevermind bro, it's that bad. The knuckless backstory scene offended me more than velma and the rest of the thrahs
@@thegreatdraco3923 but this one is more offensive don't you think? velma at the very least has good animation for today's standards, the the show is animated -you are promised an animated show about velma and you get it even though it's awful, but here? you're promised a knuckles show and get an unfunny guy most of the time and nothing happening x.x it's offensive
@@KamiSanzo I mean, at least Knuckles wasn't used as a self-insert that constantly spews biased views like their on twitter. Also, Mincy's Velma only shares appearance with the character Velma, otherwise she's just a cosplay for Mincy. At least Knuckles, when he appears that is, does act as he did in the second sonic movie, if a bit more flatter in terms of character. Its funny, I just realized that both shows has instances where someone else is dressed up like the main character. One in a meta sense and other is narrative sense.
So, it looks like the only returning actress from the moves is Deputy Donut's wife? Cause Knuckles doesn't sound like Idris Elba... no way they'd get Jim Carrey for this show... Edit: Wait, that IS Idris? Was Wade the guy Robotnik intercepted at the police station in the first movie? "I think they already know"...
It feel like it’s a bit too extreme to say “Oh knuckles is bad I won’t watch the third sonic movie that will have more budget and more game characters and take more from the story of adventure 2 and will bring shadow the hedgehog into the franchise and will probably be the last movie Jim Carrey will ever be in” Like that would be like if I stopped going to watch a Marvel movie cause some one off marvel show that doesn’t have much affect on the movies Like bro that’s a overreaction Also wait If someone likes a actor in this show they are “a payed shill” as if people can’t have opinions? Like bro chill it’s just a knuckles show it ain’t the end of the world If this was the shadow show where it was shadow and Wade then I would better understand But dude your overreacting
I haven't seen the second sonic movie, and won't see the second either. I didn't like 1 that much, i won't watch 3 either but im gonna see a compilation of Rouge clips if she's in there lmao
This is somehow even stupider and more of a waste of good opportunities than I expected, and given how shit so many movies and TV shows typically are these days, I had pretty much zero expectations to start with. On what planet does someone even remotely sane look at the base concept of this, and go, "hmm, yes, we need to focus entirely on the annoying human characters no one likes even a hundredth as much as the funny talking animals, despite the show being literally named after one of them"? Makes me wish they just gave the show production over to a random hobo, at least the incoherent nonsense said hobo would make would be entertaining. Shit, even good ol' Ken couldn't do worse than this, and his horrifically ugly designs would at least be funny to mock.
Missed opportunity.
Bowling adventure "& knuckles"
Damn...
and starring dante from the devil may cry series.

Expanding the universe is a frustrating point in this cause I would love to see the adventures of him getting the flames of disaster. Like sonic fans screaming how cool the idea was.
Why could we have simply gotten a show about the Echidna Owl war?
Can we please stop getting modern adaptations of older media where the original characters get sidelined by the new writers' OC's going through painfully boring drama?
It hadn't even occurred to me that this was just another in a shit trend of modern adaptations, that makes it even worse
Can't wait to see Wade fight Shadow in "Wade Movie 3"
God loves me, Adam Pally isn't even in the third movie
I had this crazy idea that a Knuckles show would be Knuckles training Wade to be a better warrior/cop, And then a former employee of Robonik's comes after the Sonic crew for revenge and power, but Knuckles and Wade take him on together. Wade gets and arc about believing in oneself and doing things he didn't believe he could do, while Knuckles learns to not take things so seriously and finds his place as a mentor and teacher.
Apparently that's all too complicated for Hollywood to give us.
You expected the show to be a show that was good and not the most expensive throwaway in television history? Yeah me too, me too.
@@HauntLichBy the way, I hope that's not Cary Elwes playing Wade's dad.
what do you mean 'apparently?' of course this is too complicated for hollywood, and 'complicated' doesn't make money!

I will now be adding the word “Frunkled” in my vocabulary. Thank you
you just frunkled your vocabulary.
you know youre fuckled when not even THE HAT™️ can save a knuckles product
It's just frustrating because clearly someone making the show knows what we want and they just don't want to give it to us.
I caught that subtle Mr. Plinkett voice 🤣
Also, missed opportunity to call the show "Wade & Knuckles"
8:50 if he was in a Samus/ iron man/ lex Luther power armor suit thing it would be fine, but no, it’s normal man
Remember in the first movie when Wade almost shot eggman in the face?
I'm remembering that the Sonic movies definitely had guns. I just have more and more questions about the Knuckles show.
15:40 this is insane in that what insanity caused this mess kinda way, but not the disturbing kind.
clearly the work of trying for a ‘lighting-strike-thrice’ but by scaling said lightening back a little bit back, it hit for someone, somewhere else. (Also like the half reference to red letter media)

Remember HauntLich loves when people off themselves
Yeah, I was disappointed after hearing that. I unsubscribed because of that. Shame, I really enjoyed his previous video tbh... 😔
Hurray, I did it again, went to watch old vids yesterday, and you update today!
The Bowling Show fearuring Knuckles
I bet you the Knuckles series isn't about Knuckles because they wanted to avoid another Penders situation lmao
13:58 "unlike paramount I got frunkled."
And knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and bowling
BOWLING
Well thank god i forgot this show EVEN EXISTED, lol.
you're welcome.
Babe wake up, new hauntlich
let's FUCKING GOO MORE HAUNTLICH
I'M GONNA GOO!
17:07 i had to look it up that is cary elwes (the dread pirate Roberts,robin hood )
W, new HauntLich content
loved this video. keep it up!
I thoroughly enjoyed knuckles, But I do wish focused a lot more around knuckles and not bowling.
Great video though
*The Unfunny Fat Guy Show featuring Knoodles or Something*
so in these movies Sonic Adventure isn't canon but Sonic 06 is but it happened offscreen and starred Knuckles. awesome. can i have what they're smoking
please come back with the milk
As a Review, it´s fine.
As just a Video it´s funny in random Spots.
15:47 I had to just take a SHARP inhale for that one.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. WHY?
CARY ELWES! WHY IS HE IN THIS?!?!? 🤦🏼♀️
I refuse to believe that heavy drugs weren’t extensively used by the people that made this show.
The Sonic movie universe isn’t going to go far if they insist on making it more about boring human characters that people couldn’t be coerced to give a half a damn about.
Ironically laughed at the stupid Facebook marketplace puppet
welp now im gonna use frunkled more often
I don't think you have to worry about Sonic 3, the writer for movies and for this show is different people
My wounds are too deep and too fresh, though I did see Adam Pally's not even in the movie so.
I hope sonic doesn't come off as annoying cuz at this point shadow would be freshly still hurt.
I can’t for sonic 3 to have shadow be basically a side character and for the writers to have completely cut out Amy and rouge from the adventure 2 story to make way for the completely new OC human characters because why would they want to introduce some of the main female sonic characters in the third sonic film, like if they have Tom or his niece from the past two films take Amy big moment of showing shadow humanity isn’t evil I’m going to lose it
Why was this made, sonic is capable of good story telling, but this show just sounds like one of those bad kids sitcoms
I hated how corny and forced funny everything is supposed to be, like i had to watch it in Spanish to tolerate the dialogue
What the hell was this? Why did they make this, how did Sega look at this and say yes?
You know thinking about this and looking at the Ninetndo video. Has made me think about future of Sonic. To be honest I have no clue what future this series holds. It is like playing a lottery .

They didn't even play kuck if you buck like they did in the trailer. Sad

Velma is still worse by a mile, but with that said, being better then that show is as much of an accomplishment as grabbing a handful of dirt.

But dude your overreacting
I now right i came for knuckles not wade

I mean the show has sonic 06 references so its pretty fitting
Am I in the wrong for just enjoying a show..?
Yes, but I still love you boo boo
Hey if ya enjoy it you enjoy it. Sadly i don't get that sentiment
elf bowling was better.
