Sonic nicknamed every adult human when he first met them. He nicknamed Tom 'Donut Lord' until he called him 'Dad', he nicknamed Maddie 'Pretzel Lady', and he nicknamed Robotnik, 'Eggman'. In Knuckles he calls Robotnik by his name instead of 'Eggman'.
9:10: Sonic has been calling their parents, Donut Lord and Pretzel Lady 9:37: James Marsden was too expensive 59:42: That's Iblis, the creature who destroys the Earth 200 years in the future and where the time traveling Silver the Hedgehog comes in, the reason this is important is because Iblis is currently inside of Knuckles
Wade Whipple is a BEAST in eating contests. he ate 38 pepperoni pizza pockets in 30 mins, on Halloween, he ate 12 pumpkin pies in 30 mins, in the summer, he ate 57 liquidized apple pies in only 10 mins, and he ate 12 whole meatloaves in 17 mins! This dude is the final boss of a Golden Corral HOLY SHAT.
I cannot wait until SEGA comes out with the third Sonic the Hedgehog movie. I am just quivering with anticipation, when it will be released, and how great it's gonna be.
So you guys missed an Easter egg in the last episode where those 2 bowling reporters were saying that this isn’t the first time they had an alien at a bowling alley. That one appeared in 1974, exactly 50 years ago from today. The same exact of years that Shadow was made a long time ago. So take that as you will 🤩
I'll say this. The Sonic movies might take place after 2024, because in the second movie, they said 'over 50 years ago'. Meaning it's been more than 50 years since Project Shadow.
I love this series so much. The animation's as good as the movies, Knuckles is as cool as ever, and his and Wade's dynamic is hilarious. I really wish there were more episodes.
58:10 the funny thing about the evil devil is that he is actually cano to Sonic lore, and that he is one of the main villains of Sonic 2006. His name is Iblis.
@@gogetathegreatestfusion801 Umm, Chaos is a creature made of out of water with blue coloring while Iblis is a entity of molten rock. This reminds me how no one can tell the difference between Sonic and Shadow.
The thing about the whole fat Robotnik thing is that Jim *WANTED* to do it in Sonic 2 but they said to keep him skinny of consistency. So him doing it in Sonic 3 will be a highlight for him.
I really enjoyed every minute the series looks good. The friendship between Knuckles and Wade is so funny and this is the first time I've seen a series as strong as the movies. I just wish that Knuckles had more screen time.
(At 45:40) Ohhhh! Now I recognize what this thing is (I'm not surprise everyone else forgot about this already): This is "Iblis: The Flames Of Disaster" From… _Sonic The Hedgehog from 2006._ Or as "we're" now calling it… Sonic 06.
I previously thought Bagel Maker was what Wade should be called. But after watching the whole show, which is basically all about him, yeah he *is* the Bowling Warrior.🎳
thank GOD an actual good video on the knuckles series! everybody hates this show but it’s actually good when you stop complaining about what you expected and enjoy it for what it truly is! thank you for taking this show for what it is and not expectations
1:20:55 Only OGs recognize this, but this is the same hat Knuckles wore in Sonic OVA and MOSTH (as a reference to OVA). I honestly loved the call back--That was a trip down nostalgia lane! Dunno if this is true, but I heard Paramount is _considering_ (emphasis on considering) making a Season 2 for the Knuckles show, and putting the Chaotix in there. Honestly, this is an AMAZING idea, imo---I'd love to see how live-action Charmy, Vector, and Espio will look--I'm excited to see my boy Espio, mostly.
Actually I don’t think knuckles defeated him, as by the final episode of this show, knuckles just light his fists on fire but how? Unless Iblis is inside him just like in 06 when Elise had Iblis because let’s be honest, they won’t adapt Elise at all, so maybe they do have a 06 future story in mind just got to wait for Mephiles.
@@Superstarzs2000 Actually, Knuckles has always displayed fire fist abilities in the games, just that here in SCU it seems like he just unlocked it under the heat of battle, as it were (and assuming if it is revealed later that he is in someway tied to Iblis like Elise was). Anyway, that's the thing because while it's possible to defeat Iblis, the problem is that the monster is able to revive upon some time, which is why Silver in 06 thought the situation to save their world was hopeless until Mephiles came along. So Knuckles may not even realize that Iblis is still around in thinking he had done it in assuming he didn't seal it in having the means to do so. So they could still do something of an 06 adaptation with changes here and there.
When Mason the G.U.N agent said "does it look like I need your power" it was a call back to the second Sonic movie when Knuckles said that line to Sonic
I'm pretty sure the sister is technically in the FBI, but she has a very low stakes desk job and just what's the fact that she's in the FBI at all go to her head.
@@SBaby I do wonder if they'd put time travel in the show. Seems a bit much for what they've been going for so far, but then I wonder how they'll explain silver's powers. In '06 it's literally just "hedgehogs evolve to have telekinesis in the future." I'm sure there are other things they could draw on though, such as the archie comics where he's taught instead of just having powers.
@alansmithee419 I mean Archie did also imply that they believed Silver was a descendant of Shadow, which would make sense as Shadow has such unbelievable chaos energy, it's possible he passed on his chaos powers to his children allowing them to develop abilities they wouldn't otherwise. They also implied Silver was a descendant of Amy- who got her hammer from a magic ring which could ALSO affect what her children were capable of. Tldr; Archie shipped ShadAmy and that's why telekinetic hedgehog
I was initially worried bcuz I only knew about Idris Elba from CATS and Zootopia. Thank God he exceeded my hopes and expectations. His performance at the end of Sonic 2 was more wholesome than it had to be.
I wish they were able to get Jason Momoa, he was actually their original pick and they offered him the role but he wasn't able to accept it due to filming Aquaman 2. And Idris Elba is definitely not an underrated actor, he's definitely iconic and beloved
It’s actually not a bad show. I liked it for what it was. I think a lot of people (myself included) are just kinda disappointed that it focuses so much on Wade. But when Knuckles was on screen, he did steal the show honestly. This is by far my favorite characterization of Knuckles to date and it’s nice to see him get some love. I can understand it was probably a budget thing is why they couldn’t have as much Knuckles as they would’ve liked to. Those Mobians are probably EXPENSIVE to animate. 😂 Also I liked that reference in the last episode about the alien visitor in 1974. Perhaps it was Shadow? I guess we’ll find out eventually.
Just got done watching this mini series and it was awesome. it really flushes out Knuckles' character for the Sonic Cinematic Universe. And really gives him a place to call home and most importantly...a new family.
The fact that people were still cheering for Pistol Pete after it was straight up admitted to everyone that Pete left his son at a tjmaxx says a lot about our society.
"Give me more 6s and 7s" felt that one. So much of my favourite stuff lately hasn't been the critical darlings, it's just the nice and charming titles knowing exactly what they're about.
Am I the only one who noticed this is a losely redone version of the first Sonic movie? 1) Alien character sneaks his way into the human character's house. 2) Human character rescues alien character from villain with destructive robots/weapons. 3) Once they get away, they have to go on a quest, and have a meal that's not too good for them. 4) When it gets light outside, they go to a relative's house, and one of the relatives faints when they see the alien character. 5) The alien and human characters stay with the relatives until they get back on the road. 6) The alien and human characters get to their destination and are confronted by the villain. 7) The alien and human characters fight with the villain until the villain is defeated. 8) Happy ending with everyone going home. Other than all this, they both have great music.
"Why was Reno so popular in movies?" The answer appearently, not only is close to LA which makes it reliable for filmmakers, but its landscape was/is very mixed for more Urban or natural settings, so depending on the movie you make, It has a little bit of everything in terms of enviroments to work on.
I do feel they could've paced this series out better so we could get a better balance of Wade time and Knuckles time, but I love that we live in a time where we can get something this fun and crazy.
If you ask me, I think that was the point. The first half was about Knuckles being humbled and learning about humans and home. The second half is about Wade finally becoming a warrior.
So one other reference is that the cowboy hat Knuckles wears here is the same cowboy hat he wears in the japanese Sonic the Hedgehog anime movie OVA. The OVA is based on Sonic CD and featured Sonic vs. Metal Sonic. It's fun to watch.
One complaint I have for the show: we didn't get to see what happened when Knuckles went back home. It would've been so hilarious if Knuckles walked into the house, only to be confronted by a furious Maddie and a concerned Sonic and Tails; I bet Knuckles was grounded for like two months or something! Total missed opportunity there for a last little bit of comedy before the miniseries ended, but aside from that, it was great! I give it a solid 9.5/10
@@MelonTartVA Yeah that's the idea I got from the ending. I was wondering "are they gonna realise Knuckles isn't there any more at some point?" for like most of the show.
the pretzel lady thing is a callback to the first sonic movie, sonic calls the cop donut lord cause he keeps talking to donuts and he calls his wife pretzel lady cause he sees her doing yoga and bending her limbs like a pretzel, then i guess knuckles picked it up cause he hears sonic call her that.
So if Kunckles defeated Iblis in what appears to be his combined state, does that mean that when Mephlis is split off that he will use Knuckles as his form instead of Shadow?
I absolutely love Pistol Pete. Such a comically unlikeable man For as silly and comical as everything was, I'm glad the heart of the story (Wade being abandoned by his dad) was handled well. His conversation with his mom at the hotel might be one of my favorite scenes in the show.
Wade’s power boost kinda reminds me of a theory for the sonic movies about how Robotnik gets speed boosts from Sonic’s quill, that maybe from Wade wearing those power gloves transferred some of Knuckles’s power into him, but that’s my theory of what the hell was happening in episode 4.
Honestly I don't know why people hate this series so much, IMHO it's quite badass!!!!! Sure the name is misleading but other than that as a series it's not half bad. I actually liked it quite a lot
Really loved that little intro. Makes everything feel more special. Hope you guys keep doing those when continuing other series you have been reacting for some time. I'd love to see something like this for the Helluva Boss continuation.
(At 1:02:45) Yeah… I don't really know what to say about THIS. 2 men, probably in their 40's, on a bike and a motorcycle each a with katana in their hand… playing a game of "Chicken"
Remember when Sonic used a ring to travel from Siberia to the wedding that the GUN agents were all undercover at? Yeah, they all saw where he warped from.
I genuinely think this series was pretty good. Knuckles and wade together are funny as hell, and the story was solid. Also, I do recommend watching Twisted Metal. Sure it is cheesy, but it is just as good as this.
The show isn't anywhere near as good/hype as the movies, but I had a fun time with it. Granted I watched it with someone else so were havin' a proper giggle. I think my favourite episodes were 1 and 4.
It could be a predicted release date, could possibly be pushed back. Also the Pretzel Woman name is from the first movie, where Sonic saw her as a pretzel woman who had no bones given she did yoga. Probably told Knuckles about it.
If your looking for other media Sonic Prime finished last year an was a pretty solid series and the Sonic Mania shorts on RUclips are awesome. Sonic has gone through a lot of rough patches throughout his career but still manages to keep going.
Knuckles that friend that says he gets it and will act less like an ass... only to prove he had a social defect all this time... Knuckles just needs to learn what fun is.
Don’t care what the hardcore closed minded and extremely negative and ignorant fans think, this show was freaking awesome and hilarious!! Just wait until Sonic 3!
@@sortastupidbro it’s not hard to make sonic fans happy since lol a lot of people love this show and are having a great time , and a lot of people don’t but dosent mean they don’t like anything lol they love the sonic movies
@@sortastupidI never understood this take when people that aren't as familiar with an IP say fans are ungrateful. It's fine to like it, but it's valid for some fans to be expecting more with the marketing.
Knuckles calls maddie pretzel woman cuz in the first movie sonic called maddie in the beginning pretzel lady and maybe they are trying to continue that joke
Let’s Knuckle Down to watch this series of our favorite echidna & also I love that Christopher Lloyd voices Pachacamac, Cary Elwes is “Pistol” Pete, & that Rory McCann is playing “The Buyer”, & fun fact Mason is played by Kid Cudi who was the rapper that did the ending of Sonic 2
I'm an older sister and it's really like this between younger brother and older sister relationships. if the brother aint making the oldest life a living hell its the other way around🤣
Okay I’m a big Sonic fan, So can I give you guys kind of a big ask can you play some of the games on your gaming channel, I can promise you I’ll at least watch. At least play Frontiers, the newest mainline game. This Billy would enjoy it. Edit: 36:20 Well since it seems you guys are actually asking for some games I’ll recommend not just Sonic Frontiers but also Sonic Unleashed Sonic Generations Sonic Origins and Sonic Adventure 2- that one may be specifically interesting because Movie 3 looks to be an adaption on this game. So if you play it before seeing the movie you can see how the movie compares and differs from it.
The 9/10 Sonic game you’re looking for is called Spark the Electric Jester 3, it’s made by one dev, and it’s a work of art. It’s the peak 3D Sonic game we never got.
As far as we know that creature really hasn’t been shown in sonic lore BUT is very reminiscent of Iblis from the infamous Sonic 06 games with the name “Flames of Disaster” and even design
Suggestions for Sonic games 1. Sonic Mania Plus on all modern consoles. Classic 2D platformer. 2. Sonic Unleashed on Xbox 360/ PS3. 3D high speed boost mechanic and god of war like combat. 3. Sonic Colors on wii. 3D high speed boost mechanic with some colorful power-ups. 4. Sonic Generations on Xbox 360/ PC/ PS3. A hybrid of classic 2D platforming & 3D high speed boosting through Sonic's history. 5. Sonic Frontiers on all modern consoles. 3D open world with DBZ level combat.
Mannnnn imagine if we get a shadow show and it’s based on the game that would be AWESOME! 46:58 also that’s iblis from sonic 06 (im sorry for mentioning that game Sonic fans)
In the first movie, Sonic nicknamed Maddie Pretzel lady cause she does morning Yoga. So Knuckles is just calling her by that nickname
Which is interesting cause in the short on the 2nd movie DVD he refers to her as Maddie.
@@RondoOfBloodXI don’t think those are cannon
@@RondoOfBloodXYou can call people by their name and nickname. It's not exclusive😂
Sonic nicknamed every adult human when he first met them. He nicknamed Tom 'Donut Lord' until he called him 'Dad', he nicknamed Maddie 'Pretzel Lady', and he nicknamed Robotnik, 'Eggman'.
In Knuckles he calls Robotnik by his name instead of 'Eggman'.

Sonic underground will forever be my favourite sonic show
(At 1:02:45) Yeah… I don't really know what to say about THIS. 2 men, probably in their 40's, on a bike and a motorcycle each a with katana in their hand… playing a game of "Chicken"
It’s a movie called baby driver he wears sunglasses the whole movie ❤
(At 22:20) She has a gun that shoots… warp rings? Wait, where the hell did they "get" warp rings from?
Remember when Sonic used a ring to travel from Siberia to the wedding that the GUN agents were all undercover at? Yeah, they all saw where he warped from.
I just finished the series, and i LOVE IT SO MUCH!! I can say that as a big Sonic fan!! ❤
Same
Episode 4 is just a giant Sonic 06 reference
Ugh, how dare you guys forget the epic name that is "Pretzel Lady?!" 😱
I genuinely think this series was pretty good. Knuckles and wade together are funny as hell, and the story was solid. Also, I do recommend watching Twisted Metal. Sure it is cheesy, but it is just as good as this.
I love the fact that at 16:02 Wade uses Spotify like me 🤣💚🎶
(At 41:15) Well I think I just figured out where Knuckles got his hat from from the OVA movie.
The show isn't anywhere near as good/hype as the movies, but I had a fun time with it. Granted I watched it with someone else so were havin' a proper giggle. I think my favourite episodes were 1 and 4.
Episode 4 was Sonic Boom level unhinged😂😂
Amazing. Sometimes you just need a good laugh. ❤
It could be a predicted release date, could possibly be pushed back. Also the Pretzel Woman name is from the first movie, where Sonic saw her as a pretzel woman who had no bones given she did yoga. Probably told Knuckles about it.
If your looking for other media Sonic Prime finished last year an was a pretty solid series and the Sonic Mania shorts on RUclips are awesome.
Sonic has gone through a lot of rough patches throughout his career but still manages to keep going.
(At 13:28) It's Tikal's father, Pachacamac… voiced by Christopher Lloyd?
Yep. I wish it had been Tikal
@@MelonTartVA Tikal should probably be saved for a more serious "spiritual guide" type role.
@@matti.8465 Yes, she DEFINITELY would have been a better choice. Especially if Chaos came back.
you know, it would worked a lot more if they called this show ''Wade & Knuckles''
Similar to Sonic3&Knuckles
Agreed
This show was fucking hilarious. I’m glad y’all got to react to it
I laughed so hard
@ same
Knuckles that friend that says he gets it and will act less like an ass... only to prove he had a social defect all this time...
Knuckles just needs to learn what fun is.
Don’t care what the hardcore closed minded and extremely negative and ignorant fans think, this show was freaking awesome and hilarious!! Just wait until Sonic 3!
Wade Whipple better be in the third Sonic movie.
I just watched LS Mark's review of this series and he surprisingly liked it, I'm surprised people are enjoying it despite it's hate from fans.
Fans are never happy
@@sortastupidbro it’s not hard to make sonic fans happy since lol a lot of people love this show and are having a great time , and a lot of people don’t but dosent mean they don’t like anything lol they love the sonic movies
@@sortastupiddon’t worry I am 😌
Surprised that dude likes anything 🙄
@@sortastupidI never understood this take when people that aren't as familiar with an IP say fans are ungrateful. It's fine to like it, but it's valid for some fans to be expecting more with the marketing.
My god they got the dude from the Mighty Boosh. This series is stupidly funny. No way it should work, but it does.
Knuckles calls maddie pretzel woman cuz in the first movie sonic called maddie in the beginning pretzel lady and maybe they are trying to continue that joke
I love the dog smacking his lips
Btw sonic called her pretzle lady in the first movie when she was doing yoga
Let’s Knuckle Down to watch this series of our favorite echidna & also I love that Christopher Lloyd voices Pachacamac, Cary Elwes is “Pistol” Pete, & that Rory McCann is playing “The Buyer”, & fun fact Mason is played by Kid Cudi who was the rapper that did the ending of Sonic 2
I like Wade. I find this character extremely reliable.
How great that they got Michael Bolton to be Wade’s singing voice
59:45 that’s supposed to be Iblis lol it’s a giant fire demon that destroyed the world in Sonic 06
I'm an older sister and it's really like this between younger brother and older sister relationships. if the brother aint making the oldest life a living hell its the other way around🤣
Ikr 😂😂
That rock opera part kinda reminded me of the Tenacious D movie
44:40-45:06 😂😂. Wade is the last person I'd expect to do that.
Wow that was fast , and unexpected I wasn’t expecting you guys to react to show lol , I’m very curious to see you’re guys reactions 😂
THE FLAMES OF DISASTER!
S tier meme
With how powerful this version of knuckles is do you think he could punch straight through Vibranium?
Why was this video copyright this was awesome and would make people want to watch it more😂
If you don’t specify destination with those rings, it’s nothingness
I wonder if they knew more about the sonic franchise they would have cheered when they saw the hat as i did, strange isn't it?
"He can FLY!?"
yeah, dude.... didn't you play the games?
the whole thing about Knuckles is that he can climb and fly where Sonic can't.
I never thought I'd see Iblis from Sonic 06 ever again, much less as a puppet in a rock opera that Knuckles already took care of.
Never did I think that an official sonic spin-off show would have a holocaust joke. What a time to be a sonic fan
about sonic's lore the only thing you NEED to know is that he goes faster than speed of sound and is immortal as long as he has 1 ring
Okay I’m a big Sonic fan, So can I give you guys kind of a big ask can you play some of the games on your gaming channel, I can promise you I’ll at least watch. At least play Frontiers, the newest mainline game. This Billy would enjoy it.
Edit: 36:20 Well since it seems you guys are actually asking for some games I’ll recommend not just Sonic Frontiers but also
Sonic Unleashed
Sonic Generations
Sonic Origins
and Sonic Adventure 2- that one may be specifically interesting because Movie 3 looks to be an adaption on this game. So if you play it before seeing the movie you can see how the movie compares and differs from it.
Fun fact: Wade’s parents are Rizzo from Grease and Wesley from The Princess Bride (f-king hate the second movie I named)
This series is just fun
Was definitely a fun afternoon!
Jack Sinclaire's first bounty was a scaily fish man with a downstairs mix up.
Here's something I've been wondering… WILL he go back home to the Wakowski's, when he's done?
I am NOT looking forward to that. Maddie is going to be SUPER mad. I just know it.
@@CaptainCretaceous91 What mother WOULDN'T be mad?
@@Samgreen90 exactly!
You guys should try playing all the Sonic games on your gaming channel, like from Sonic 1, all the way to Sonic Frontiers that would be so awesome
This is gonna be a 2 parter for me bc i only watched the first 3 episodes so far.
Edit: Almost midnight and i finished the series so im back❤
I love this show
The 9/10 Sonic game you’re looking for is called Spark the Electric Jester 3, it’s made by one dev, and it’s a work of art. It’s the peak 3D Sonic game we never got.
As far as we know that creature really hasn’t been shown in sonic lore BUT is very reminiscent of Iblis from the infamous Sonic 06 games with the name “Flames of Disaster” and even design
You didn’t have to say it was infamous you know and it is clearly iblis
@@greenninja5856 BRUH EVERYONE SAYS ITS INFAMOUS AND YOU KNOW IT
and yeah after rewatch definitely Iblis
Suggestions for Sonic games
1. Sonic Mania Plus on all modern consoles. Classic 2D platformer.
2. Sonic Unleashed on Xbox 360/ PS3. 3D high speed boost mechanic and god of war like combat.
3. Sonic Colors on wii. 3D high speed boost mechanic with some colorful power-ups.
4. Sonic Generations on Xbox 360/ PC/ PS3. A hybrid of classic 2D platforming & 3D high speed boosting through Sonic's history.
5. Sonic Frontiers on all modern consoles. 3D open world with DBZ level combat.
Mannnnn imagine if we get a shadow show and it’s based on the game that would be AWESOME! 46:58 also that’s iblis from sonic 06 (im sorry for mentioning that game Sonic fans)
