      Even then, I do somewhat wish more had been done with that outside of the one episode. That bit where she goes to warn Wade about his father, for example. When I saw her walking through the hotel halls I thought she was going to see Knuckles so he could comfort her and maybe offer some advice on the situation. They show the two seem to get along, and seemingly more than Knuckles does with Wade. I wish more was done with that

They could have done so much better with this storyline/plot.

    I personally thought it was good but the problems it has are
    1. after the first three episodes it focuses primarily on wade while knuckles gets barely any screen time but to be fair the wade parts were still enjoyable
    2. The main villain gets less screen time than random side characters and we never find out what his name is
    3. The final fight was way to short and we spent more time on the bowling than the final battle
    4. We never got to see pretzel lady react/find out that knuckles wasn’t in his room
    5. While I like the music choices I think not having the knuckles rap get a reference was a disappointment
    6. Not really a problem just more of a question why does knuckles have the flames of disaster and we’re also supposed to accept that wade a normal human broke himself free from a cage with his strength but then doesn’t use that strength ever again
    7. Wades sister is definitely too annoying and the idea that an fbi agent doesn’t have the capability to defend herself from a guy with a chain as his weapon is a little ridiculous plus why was there literally no police or anything like that throughout the show primarily during the final battle like your in a city the idea that no cops showed up seems a little questionable

    I understand people exressing their disappointment of the show. But to say that its the worst piece of Sonic media is ridiculous. The show's jokes land A LOT better than the 1s we've gotten in both of the Sonic movies. Its void of childish fart jokes and childish flossing from Sonic. And this is coming from a person who loves those films. But the fandom is acting like the movies are somehow masterclass writing and cinema. This show does the same thing that the first movie did. Where instead of getting Sonic and Tom going on a road trip we get Knuckles and Wade. The CGI character is playing off of the human components. As they should since Team Sonic lives in a world filled with humans. I'm glad those reviews made me think I was barely see Knuckles. Because I went in expecting such only to be surprised how much he was on screen. I also love how selfaware of how silly it is.

    Knuckles feels like the supporting character and Wade feels like the protagonist. I feel like somebody wanted to make a bowling movie but was forced to settle for this. There's so much they could have worked with for Knuckles, like him coming to terms with his tribe being wiped out or just SOMETHING that was about Knuckles.

They could have introduced characters like Rouge or even Amy and cream & cheese, their’s so much better storylines for knuckles in the games & in the Sonic animated show that they could have used than what they used here ☝️😤

    I've only seen the first two episodes, but so far, my favorite parts of the show have been the Wade related-stuff. Stuff like him fantasizing about his bizarre battle strategy, him being pushed to do better in bowling by a psychotic hitman, and his consistently pathetic nature have made him pretty funny to watch in my opinion. I agree that it sucks that in the later episodes, apparently Knuckles gets side-lined more and more, but I don't find Wade too grating in these first few episodes where I particularly would mind watching more about him. Though, I do know they introduce his family as side characters in episode 3, so having all of Wade's family may get a bit tiresome for me.

    Putting it bluntly, mark, you said it yourself. You forgot Knuckles was even in the show *multiple times*, that it focused on human stuff and it just treats Knuckles as a side character
    It can be extremely endearing. The writing could be top notch and perfect and heartwarming. I'm glad you liked it! But when people want to watch a show LITERALLY called Knuckles, and want to see more Knuckles, and all marketing is Knuckles- none of that actually matters. It failed as a Sonic property. Jokes aside about his track record that should be far, far enough to tell you why it's hated. It's a SONIC property. People want Sonic things in it. People want KNUCKLES in it. The first two movies are loudly hated for the human shit, not just the wedding scene so it's just a no brainer.

Because in video games you control what happens but with TV you just gotta sit there and w the character make dumb decisions or usee false advertisements and focus on irrelevant shit like they did with Knuckles show.

    It was really fun.
    While Knuckles' presence diminished throughout each episode-
    How would they even write that? It's good to see Knuckles develop and adapt yes, but his story is basically finished. He's already had most of his development and throughout the show he gains an understanding of how life on Earth works.
    In fact, Knuckles adapting to Earth life can really just be done in an episode or two, but instead they tried their absolute best to let it show Knuckles adapting while teaching Wade.
    This entire show could've been just 1 movie.
    While I admit the Wade stuff is unnecessary, they made it fun and actually have a nice flow for his story. Knuckles throughout the show is both a mentor and student, teaching Wade how to be a true warrior and follow his heart, while Wade teaches Knuckles that there are multiple "battlefields" and the joys of life.
    While yes the role could've been given to Sonic, it was still Sonic that cemented the idea into Knuckles for him to actually chill out.
    Overall I enjoyed the show.

Wade doesn't learn much combat and his motive for training is meaningless because he was always good at bowling. The villains either die or vanish at the end. This series should have been about Knuckles training Wade in combat to become a better cop and Wade teaching Knuckles how to bowl. We can keep the moments with Wade's family (take Wanda down a few notches) and everything in The Flames of Disaster. I don't know how I feel about the Battleground in the Sky being literal Heaven instead of a euphemism for it.

It's crucial to remember that not everyone will like everything, and insulting them won't solve the problem; it'll only exacerbate it.

    They missed the opportunity to name the show "Wade & Knuckles".
    Maybe like somewhere during Episode 3, the title changes from just "Knuckles" into "Wade & Knuckles" (the same way the final episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is titled "Captain America and the Winter Soldier" to signify Sam Wilson embracing the shield and identity)
    It would be more fitting and funny since it's also a great way to exploit the "& Knuckles" meme

    Sorry, but no, this is not on the same level as the movies, since:
    1) Different writers
    2) Not the same budget
    3) Jeff Fowler wasn't involved after Episode 1.
    Also, sorry, but this show, unfortunately, did not provide its original purpose as a supposed "prequel" or something before watching the 3rd movie type of scenario. You liked it? That's cool! I'm glad you did!
    But, being honest here, story wise, and mostly something that was supposed to be connected to the movies, it didn't provide that lore we needed to know about the upcoming movie. Heck, in terms of where this is placed in the movie-verse timeline, is utterly confusing. Like, how did Wade, of all the other characters, was the human choice for Knuckles? If much and if this was supposed to be placed AFTER the 2nd movie, it would've made so much sense if they introduced it to us how Knuckles and Wade met in the first place AFTER the 2nd movie, because let's be real, *THEY DID NEVER MET* on the 2nd movie. The only character that actually spoke to Wade was Tails during the Longclaw's memory scene.
    Also, apart of the cringeworthy lines and comebacks from some characters, some of them were introduced so poorly, after what Episode 5 did to my sanity in terms of lore, I sincerely lost hope in this one. Plus, there were so many inappropriate jokes to a supposed show directed to kids. Yes, THAT scene with the metal detector was insane and it was so unnecessary.
    I do have my own positive thoughts about it, tho. Not everything has to be negative. We all know episode 1 is literally the best one, and Wade's mom is the best human character in this one. I love how she was handled since some females can relate to the whole "single mother takes care of her two kida after stupid dad abandoned them" and I personally loved how she took me by surprise with her fighting skills. Kid Cudi is a close second for some jokes he did, but everyone else was so poorly handled and yes, we all collectively hate Wanda and Pistol Pete, that's for sure.
    Again, this is just my humble opinion and positive contribution to this. There's always room for improvement. After all, that's what saved the movie Sonic verse in the first place, right? Have a good day! ❤

      Also, that's the thing, they didn't... Do justice to Wade as a potential main character in this side show. That was my grip there, the "plot armor" was about bowling, without mentioning that as stated this was meant to be something about Knuckles WITH Wade, and all we saw was Wade alone in most of the episodes. If they named this Wade & Knuckles, it would make so much sense.

  • @SuperCosmicMutantSquid
    @SuperCosmicMutantSquid 8 місяців тому +5

    I will say this. I appriciate that while there is some lore dropped in this series, they didn't take the MCU route and make it 'homework', more or less removing any sort of freedom a show can it's own thing while at the same time making any sort of movie connecting lore impossible to get, boring to understand or just making it flat out lame.
    The Knuckles series seems familiar with what it is and takes a goofier character and puts him with a character who is COMEDICALLY serious and I think that's something a lot of people forget. I *DID* like Sonic 2 but where Knuckles' seriousness came in, it was still purposely EXAGGERATED to show out of place he was not just on Earth but just communicating with Eggman, Sonic and Tails. The latter two didn't get him and they're from the SAME PLANET. That's how weird Knuckles acts but I still liked it given that at the end of the day, he is trying to do something that he thinks is right. He also didn't grow up on Earth like Sonic did so he's even LESS accustomed to how things work, because even if Sonic was living on his own he quickly learned how Earth works, how to refurbish things for his own use, and so on so yeah, Knuckles is finally getting his chance to find out that he doesn't have to be serious all the time.
    ....c'mon, show don't do this to me. The Sonic movies are goofy exciting fun that I like but it's making me realize that Sonic and Knuckles didn't really get to have ACTUAL FUN with other people for such a long time and these corny humans are giving them that chance. Also, the irony of Eggman being a human that wanted to kill Sonic and manipulated Knuckles yet characters like Tom and the others are interacting with the characters more than the whole Overlander drama stuff from the Archie comics. And speaking of Archie, I wouldn't at all be surprised if 'The Buyer' was in some way inspired by 'The Hunter' from the comics. Hunter even works with Eggman later on to try to capture Knuckles after his failure to hunt him the first time so yes, I don't see it being weird at all that Eggman would use some other sly way to try to capture these weird animals.
    I mean....you're....too.....positive. And fun. How dare you not only show how much you like this show but respectfully understand why others wouldn't and don't try to insult them for it. How dare you, sir!

    Knukles has been my favourite Sonic character since I was a kid. Loved his introduction in the second movie and was really hyped for this show. Whle I do agree with alot of fans that it just became the "Wade Show" in the latter half, and felt Knuckle's own arc felt empty, I did enjoy his interactions with Wade and his mother. Those quiet moments where Knuckles listens to them and trys to relate are very heartwarming. Also helps that Wade himself is a likeable person so while I wished there was more focus on Knuckles, at least Wade isn't insufferable. I shudder to imagine if Knuckles teamed up with the sister and the show was about her.
    Overall while I felt this show didn't live up to the hype, I still enjoyed it for what it is and would watch it again.

In a way this might be something the producers need to look deeper into, I don't know what they have planned for the third movie but they might end up with a lot of controversy at this rate if they don't change up the formula. That or they need to be very specific in their advertising that this stuff is going to be like this so the people all the way in the back understand.

Guess it just made it that much better for me. It’s my favorite climax of the three projects which I totally wasn’t expecting.
