Knuckles' Show Review · 10:42pm April 27th
...Well... I, uh... I don't even know how to start this thing...
First of all, I wanna apologize from advance because.... Well... I can't say much about this show, even though I'll like to. Let's just say that I have positive and negative things to say about this show, but more leaning to the latter one.
Let me start saying it: No, you don't have to watch Sonic Movie 1 or 2 to understand anything of this show. At the very same time, this isn't a must watch for Sonic 3 because absolutely NOTHING that happened is even slightly relevant to the future of the SCU (Sonic Cinematic Universe).
I think the show overall is good and entertaining. I believe at this point that the SCU is NOT trying to be like the games. They just take from them what they find convenient and then make out their own thing, which I'm thankful for. I don't need this show to have Rouge or the Chaotix to be good, I just need it to be focused on Knuckles... Guess what? Knuckles is barely even there from Episode 3 on.
The first two episodes are great. We have tons of Wade and Knuckles, both of them sharing screen and relevance alike. However, from Episode 3 ad until the very end, Wade becomes the star of the show and Knuckles is just... kinda there... I gotta admit that Wade, his mom and Agents Mason and Willoughby are some of the best human characters we'd ever had in the franchise, and in the movie-verse as well, but as for the main villain... He's barely there and gets defeated very easily, and Wade's sister... My gosh, Wade's sister is the worse human character that the Sonic franchise has ever given us.
You guys think Chris Thorndyke is bad? Well, no. He's just a kid acting like one. But Wanda, Wade's sister?! Dear lord! I never wanted to get through the screen and strangle a character as much as I wanted with her! Same goes for Pistol Pete, Wade's father. And the show's plot is just dumb as well. That thing about Knuckles training Wade? That was a lie. The show's plot is "Wade's gotta beat his father in a bowling competition to prove he's not a loser"... that's it. That's the show. And like, there's nothing bad with this, but why is it the main plot? The show's called "Knuckles", and yet he's barely in it from episode 3 on. I did fid it entertaining and all, but... If only it had more about Knuckles, things would be very different.
I just think that this show is just there. Is not bad and can be enjoyable is you wanna relax one day and watch something because you're bored, but if you're expecting lore regarding the movie verse... Just one episode gets into that, and the episode is 100% about Wade cosplaying Knuckles. No, I'm not making this up, it's what it is.
So, what do I rate this thing? 6/10. Not bad, but... Could be better.
As the great Pachacamac said:
"You don't train for combat without first knowing the battlefield."
Huh, well, okay
Yeah, now after reading your review, I can agree. It took Knuckles & him training Wade in the way of the warrior up episode 2, and then tossed it for a different plot they were going with alongside it & Knuckles being a “Fish out of water” being only for episode 1 & maybe episode 2. I just feel bad that it became the Wade series instead of the knuckles series.
I thought this was going to be about Knuckles finding his place in Earth, not training a weak loser like Wade. Also I had no idea that he and his family are jewish. But I really hate his sister and father, they are just pricks. So yeah, I give this show a 6/10 as well.
I just saw a scene of what I believe is Wanda stabbing Wade in the arm with a fork.
That immediately made me hate her
