It'd kinda like if the MCU had another Captain America movie, but instead of focusing on, y'know, the captain himself... it focuses mostly on some background character nobody really cares about. The captain gets sidelined in a movie supposedly about him.

Ok, I feel like even bothering to give my full thoughts would be a waste of time if it's just gonna get drowned out by "BUT WADE" so I'm out.

[up][up] It's less about Wade, and more about how annoying it is that the show promised a Knuckles show, but chickened out and put in a human character to be the real main character.

Like, sure I can appreciate the Sonic human cast members in certain doses, but they generally star Sonic and friends first and foremost. If there are entire episodes where Knuckles is barely in it, then why should I watch the show then?

Opened an image picking thread for the show: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=17141502520.22895800&page=1#1

I can see how people would have wanted more Knuckles focus, but I don’t hate this show, personally.

I do think they will need to do space, either in animated format, or in the movies, before too long.

What a load of wankers Twitter's folks are, episode 4 was funny.

I do agree episode 3 had questionable pacing tho.

Done.

Show is alright. It's more of the same regarding the movies, so I can't complain.

Oh, and my favorite part.

Iblis being adapted, and being some monster Knuckles fought in the past, makes me smile.

It's my petty self, I'll admit.

I'm just so happy I won't ever have to worry about any of 06's crap in the movieverse.

Give me better news and tell me Silver is dead too. That will cheer me up like you have no idea.

I enjoyed Knuckles.

Do you think Iblis being referenced is hinting at Sonic 4?

[up][up] I played Sonic 06 as a kid, so I actually had a good time with it.

That said, I have gotten older and seen lets plays with my fully adult brain, so I'm down to clown on it.

I'm on episode 3 of Knuckles right now. I loved how wholesome it was, also quite educational.

Are all the Agent Jim Gun references meant to be some weird shout out from Paramount to James Gunn?

May 17. But like I said, it’s mostly a rumor.

Let’s see how things shake out. Could happen anytime between Monday (when the earnings call is) and… the release of the movie, TBH.

I do wonder if Sega has some kind of mandate that the writers CAN"T explore the backstory of the game characters too much.

I've heard Wade's backstory and family issues get focused on.

It was decent. Idris was great. Wade's family was funny. None of the humor was quite as cringy as the Siberian dance off.

My main issue is that it seems very inconsequential. There's little to no character development for Knuckles. No setup for Sonic 3. The main villain doesn't do anything ultimately. He's someone that just happened to work for Eggman and that's it. The final battle is anticlimactic.

[up]I think the idea was it wasn’t supposed to be nessecary. Like you don’t need to go into Sonic 3 having seen the show otherwise you miss a lot of context.

So what do we think happened to Mason and Willoughby when they were sucked into the ring portals?

That’s what I’m saying!

A clip of my favorite moment from the show: Knuckles’ dad spontaneously turns into a muppet during Wade’s vision in episode 4. And he dies.

Yes. This is from the show. Really.

Speaking of episode 4, Flames of Disaster was Iblis' title, right? Guess if they put it in Knuckles' backstory then they can't really adapt 06.

What a shame.
