I feel like people who said "it's not that bad, you are just mean" miss the point, like it just doesn't feel like a Knuckles show and is more focused on human characters.
@Guyincognito28282 It felt like it was written by 2011 Smosh where they kept having ridiculous bits or making fun of tv tropes while also using those tropes and trying to take itself seriously at the same time. The tone just made no sense throughout, and the self-awareness stuff got really old after the first few episodes.
The main issue that people have with these types of video game movies is the new human characters getting most of the screen time. And that's exactly what this show did...
Knuckles series, and it was alright. The only thing I have a problem with the show is that it mainly shows too many humans in the show, and Knuckles is just on the side lines in his OWN SHOW, but overall, cool show. 7.5/10
You can pretty much replace knuckles with LITERALLY ANYTHING and the plot would not change whatsoever Also dear God, episode 4 is like a god damn RUclipsr scit from 2012. It legit feels like a gigantic shitpost someone did for fun. Ngl, the show was quite a dissapoitment. Was hoping for some neat Knuckles backstory, hell I wouldn't mind if the entire show was settled IN Knuckles' past, would've been way cooler then the Wade Willson show we've gotten.
I hate episode 4 with a fiery passion. It treats knuckles backstory and his father’s DEATH as a joke when sonic movie 2 treated it seriously. They better not even THINK about turning Maria’s death into a joke
@@Neoniq41 I don’t trust paramount with the Maria story. They already ruined the sad longlaw scene in sonic 2 by having wade talk about ghostbusters and ask if longlaw is tails’s dad. Paramount should have kept their sticky fingers AWAY from shadow and Maria
@@mrmelonman2893 for me it is because episode 4 to 6 were the most random things I've ever seen that it just made me laugh because of how stupid it was
It Feels like this show was only made because of the popularity of Sonic 2 movie they saw the hype around knuckles and just greenlit a show but without realizing how much it would actually cost to cgi knuckles from a movie budget to TV show budget I think it's a fun decent show but just made because they announced something too early without any plans I hope sonic 3 is good
The show was marketed that Knuckles is trying to get used to his new life in Green Hills. But when I heard he's 25% in HIS OWN SHOW, thats when I decided to not watch it. And I was gonna get Paramount +... oh well
The reason why there wasn't more knuckles, was that they were probably saving their budget on the action scenes with knuckles in them. Edit: BROOO THEY SHOULD'VE CALLED THE SHOW "Wade & Knuckles" THAT WOULD'VE BEEN SO PERFECT!!!
Honestly I wasn’t expecting too much out of this show, but it was a fun watch nonetheless. Now I’m curious if Paramount will make a Tails series as well.
I'll be honest I'm VERY shocked you didn't point out in episode 4 the writers pretty much shit on Knuckles backstory on how he lost his father and Tribe like "haha this child lost his is father how funny is that?" like what the fuck is wrong with them?
Dude the show is hilarious wtf are you talking about? I was literally dying during just the first episode. Like when Knuckles kicked the radio and destroyed it and especially when he absolutely obliterated the bowling pins into millions of pieces with that throw of his lol. That shit was funny.
@@SFproductions1You’re right. The third one is ok but after that it all goes downhill. I knew things were gonna tank once Wade reunited with his psycho sister and his mother. The fourth episode was by far the worst. And Knuckles got less and less screen time with each subsequent episode…
It seems like Sonic character spinoffs are always disappointing; Shadow the Hedgehog game sucked. Knuckles Chaotix sucked. Tails' Sky Patrol was mediocre. The Knuckles show sucks.
Idk about knuckles chaotix but don't forget Sonic boom..the biggest failure of a sonic spinoff...in games the tv show was good though but games..nope most of mediocre games of meta era comes from this spinoff!
@@UltraSTH it's really not that bad. I actually liked Wade in the show. Yes Knuckles should have been more of the focus but still. They did advertise Wade to be a big part of the show too.
By the 4th episode it was so bad to the point it was hilarious, I'd says I prefer this over Prime Season 3 cause at least I was awake for the entirety of this show while with Prime Season 3 I felt like falling asleep
I completely agree with you. I definitely cringed any time Wade showed up. Wade's mom was more relatable than Wade. And when they went full on screen time with the emotional "i miss my dad" I asked everyone in my watch party "how is this even a Knuckles show? WHAT THE 🤬?! This is dragging into digression. You're losing me here." Wade, your dad is ahole. Meanwhile, Knuckles had a deeper & sad story. He lost his entire family & tribe.
The worst part is, Willoughby and Mason had _excellent_ chemistry with a whole "Jessie and James" thing going, and stole the show. They honesty should've been the main villains and the primary force driving the story forward. They even got backstories, with Mason being the brawn and Willoughby being the brains. I wanted to see way more of them in the series, but instead we got Wade Wipple, his family, his little girl bowling partner, and his bounty hunter friend. This show is a bigger disappointment than Sonic Frontiers.
Ended up watching it on 1.5 speed cause I realized it wasn’t going anywhere. Some of the comedy was alright. Knuckles was done decently well but I hate that he comes off simple. Yes he’s the brawny one of the crew but sheesh can he have better character work? Wade’s sister is absolutely horrendous in this. In fact, everyone was just a complete buffoon in this. I get it’s suppose to be light hearted but ffs it has nothing gripping or serious. This is a definitely a cash grab spin off. I hope it does well so we can get more potentially better shows in the future but hopefully with a different tone and a much better story.
Im currently up to Episode 4 and I like it so far. Episode 2 could of been better but I really like Episode 1 and 3. The knuckles stuff there should be more off but the human scenes are great
From what I can tell is that one persons enjoyment of the show depends on how much they enjoy the human characters (or the non sonic related stuff in general) from the movies
i like humans characters in movies yet I somehow baffled with this series. We had so many good characters that needed to be brought back like ratchell's family or citizens of green hill like Crazy Carl. i prefer that over Wade's family
At first when i first heard the Announcement of the Knuckles I thought It was gonna be like About Knuckles and him Vsiting thw Chaotix Detectives Like Victor, Espio and Charmy It woulda been cool if they went that route and Went for a knuckles Backstory without Wade trying to Do the Backstory for him in a Feever Dream Trying to find flames of disaster Which Made No sense at all how can wade even find the flames of disaster I think Paramount needa Start working on their Scheduel of Human Characters and the Alien Characters
Unpopular opinion but honestly aside from the final episode episode 4 was probably my favorite episode. It was honestly really funny and was just absolutely insane. People only dislike that episode because it doesn’t have knuckles in it not because of what it actually has. Another unpopular opinion this show’s jokes honesty hits harder then both of the Sonic movies (not saying they aren’t funny)
I don’t like the episode 4 because not « enough of Knuckles » but because make a corny ass musical for Wade at defend himself like….yeah no it’s just bullshit
I thought it was completely okay as a show in general, but really sucked as a supposed “Knuckles” show, the first two episodes made me hopeful because I wasn’t even against the premise of a comedic buddy cop thing between Knuckles and Wade, the problem was that they put the bigger focus on the wrong character and heavily shafted the titular character my biggest compliment that I’ve said on another video is that I liked the Jessie and James-like dynamic of the two ex-GUN agents
also, I have to agree with your theory about this just being a scheme to get people to buy a Paramount+ subscription because it’s an absolutely nothing service, with as far as I know only having one other original series being the awful Halo show
I think a cartoon would have worked better for knuckles. The premise was meant to be, take a normal world with a whacky loser and with the help of a strong and confident character who struggles to find his own place, help turn him into a strong and capable character while helping to adjust Knuckles into this new world.
because the show is called "Knuckles" yet Wade is clearly the main character, that would be ok if the show was called "Wade Whipple" but the show was called Knuckles and there's a noticeable lack of Knuckles in the show named after him
People say the main problems with this show is that it focussed more on Wade than Knuckles. All of the Sonic movies follow the same issue where they focus too much on the human characters.
@@garrtoons4303 I mean, I can't hate Sonic Underground it was literally my first introduction to Sonic and I loved it unironically.. Though it was wild having to unlearn that Sonic has no known siblings, the other pink hedgehog is not his sister and there's now a fox with two tails.
The only good thing this show brought was the discord stream, thanks for allowing me to watch without giving Paramount a dollar, i said it there and i will say it here, this is just like cars 2 when they made matter the main character I was laughing my ass off seriously, i should have gone to sleep instead of staying up at 4 AM for this shit
From the sheer unbridled vitriol I saw from Sam, Johnny and Nick, I expected FAR worse. But after being burned by Marvel and Star Wars countless times, I don't look the gift horse in the mouth when something less egregious is released. Having just come off of the utter nothing burger and year long waste that was Sonic Prime, this was a breath of fresh air. On the count that all my time and investment wasn't for naught. Unlike the shows from Disney+ that are named after the titular character but sideline him for someone "new and better" (normally a self-insert) as well as insult and demean him, here at least I can look at Knuckles and know he's still cool. And I'm sorry but if people are gonna apologise for Sonic X sidelining the main cast, then they're gonna have to do the same thing here. And at least with Knuckles it's _one_ Sonic character vs _several_ human characters, not one _human_ character against several _Sonic_ characters. Could this have been better, absolutely. Could it have been worse; don't count your blessings. They could've given Knuckles the same treatment as Loki, or Boba Fett, or Obi-Wan, or Moon Knight, or Picard, or Mando. But they didn't. Yet people still bark and clap like seals for those shit shows.
This show isn’t bad imo, I get what they were going for narratively. I like the dynamic between Knuckles and Wade, I like how they dual each other in goals. For example, what does Wade want? He wants to be a warrior, who can teach him that? Knuckles! What is Knuckles looking for? Knuckles is looking for a home(which I think the show could’ve put more emphasis on) who has a home? Wade has a home! Knuckles feels lost because he finished his goal, he gets a new goal to train Wade and through that Knuckles also gets what he wants. The show focusing on Wade which I understand can be annoying, ultimately shows Knuckles succeeding his new goal which imo is good writing.
I’ll never understand the Sonic Prime hate in these comments. Best interpretation of Shadow we’ve gotten since ‘06 and anytime sonic fought with him or they were on screen together was amazing. As for the knuckles show haven’t seen it yet but definitely gonna form my own opinion after I’ve seen it. As a majority of people hated Prime as well yet I ended up loving it.
same here, i've only seen Prime, the first season of Boom, Knuckles and 10 episodes of X and from what i've seen Prime shits on the rest, Knuckles is good but don't expect Knuckles to be the main character
I wouldn’t say the show was awful. I actually really liked the first 3 episodes. And then I got to episode 4, realized I’m not having a nightmare and am actually still watching the knuckles show, and then was bored to tears with the final 2 episodes. I don’t know how the quality dropped so hard after a great first half.
7:07 yeah I was thinking maybe at the end of the show Shadow would pop up and kick Knuckles' ass or something like that but no it has no tie in to Sonic 3 there's no Shadow or Eggman or any of that.
Keep in mind the show is a spin-off set right after sonic 2, and only the first episode is directed by Jeff fowler. Also keep in mind it’s a comedy show and not meant to be too serious. Besides, why would they introduce their most anticipated and beloved character in a spin-off show that people have to buy to see? If they want sonic 3 to perform well they have to reach maximum engagement and get people to see shadow.
so i'm gonna be honest i don't get why people hate this show, i saw it, twice since i had to stream it to some people in discord and we all had a great time, i do want people to explain why they hate it tho, cause i think its a charming and silly fun show, with a lot of fun moments and you end up caring for wade and his silly little bowling tournament thingy
How much Songs are in Ep 4 since, I heard it is a Musical Episode. My father deesn't like Musicals, but i wanted to watch the show with him, so pls tell me how much songs are in the ep.
@@radmilastupar4235 i think it's like 1 or 2 continous songs that go on for the last half of the episode but whatever happens in them is incredibly funny
Idk I just never liked wade and it felt disappointing cause I was excited to see how knuckles would fit in Earth maybe with his two friends but the focus changed for no reason
I'll say up-front that I did not watch this show and I'm not very jazzed by the current movies (but 2 is a huge improvement over 1), but a friend gave me a Devil's Advocate for this show, if anyone wants it. It's true that the show is about Wade, but Knuckles is the central figure that gives everyone motivation. In the case of the villains, they went into action to get his power. For Wade, Knuckles' example and life story pushed Wade into being a better person even when Knux wasn't on-screen. As goofy as the play is, it's also still about Knuckles and forces Wade to see life from his perspective, so Knux is still central to the show. It's like Chris' relationship with Sonic in X, but more comical and not sending Knuckles away in the end. That's better than my initial thought that Paramount just doesn't trust the Sonic characters and is overly pleased with their humans, but this is still not the direction I would have gone in. I'm not a big fan of the movies' humor yet and I wouldn't make a show about a CG character if the budget couldn't accomodate him. The short about Team Sonic and the junkyard robot and what I'm hearing about Movie 3, however, are promising even to a jaded person like me.
Awful is too much of a negative word for something which isn’t honestly that bad. It’s like a 7/10, I kinda expected this not to be anything to super special.
Episode 4 was your least favorite?? Your opinion, but that was my personal favorite one! The music was good, the visual gags were hilarious (Random puppet and the gliding costume are examples), and revealing that Knuckles had previously defeated Iblis in the movie timeline was interesting. From reading the episode title before the show released, I was slightly hoping for the plot to involve the villains trying to awaken Iblis, even though that would be a little unusual since they haven't done the Sonic Adventure 1&2 plots yet. Despite that, it was a fun cameo.
I’m someone that enjoy the show but it definitely has a few problems. The two main problems I had with the show is the time you get to the 4th episode this where the show becomes a Wade show not Knuckles. My second problem with this show is Wanda because she is so annoying in the show but she can funny some times. Overall, I give the show a 8/10.
I really feel like they should've had more character development for Knuckles rather than Wade. Wade's sister seemed to have little reason or explanation on why she's so rude and aggressive towards Wade. I would have been satisfied if her reasoning was "She takes her anger out on him because her father left." or something. But what I got from her character is she just wants to 1-up Wade just to look superior and cool. As for Wade, to me he just seems like too much of a goofball for me to enjoy properly. there is some good moments I enjoyed such as the little musical he did, and the fact that he interrupts the song to punch the bars. but after the 4th and 5th "Clumsy/Oopsie", it just gets too stale for me in my opinion. like you said, he's a comic relief character, and too much comic relief can turn things poorly. and I found Wade's Motivations and Reasoning to be just unrealistic? I understand its meant for general audiences but it could've been better. for Knuckles, I feel like he was very much underused for a show that literally has "Knuckles" in it. He experience little character development and gets tossed to the side as a side character for the other half of the show. I did enjoy the OVA hat he got, and the little bits of rap music as he rode on a motorcycle. all n' all, It could've been better if the show focused on the Sonic characters more rather than the humans, I'm pretty sure 90% of the people watching this show was for Knuckles. But of course they love making references and decided to make this an & Knuckles TV Show. TL/DR: "Wah Wah Wah I like knuckles Wah Wah Wah It could've been better!!"
While I didn’t really LOVE Wabe just taking over in the middle of the series I can see why it would turn out that way. This was a tv show and for what I know doing all the CGI work will get expensive - shifting to a Wade focus would save money in a show that already putted so much money in the fight scenes and other CGI stuff. Overall, I thought it was a pretty ok, even good show. However, the Wade shift was jarring and quite unfortunate for it was Knuckles’s show and I was looking forward to looking into HIM. I’d rate 6.5/10
@@SparklingJam true but at least Shadow the Hedgehog starred Shadow, at least 06 starred Sonic, this show was called Knuckles but starred Wade, as the main character
LMAO at these comments. We got one semi-descent game and now fans suddenly forget that most of the Sonic stuff released in the last few decades is of mediocre or disappointing quality. This show being bad does not surprise me at all. They're basically milking the sudden recent success with a bunch of half baked projects. Even the movies were of barely bearable quality, and this show is lower than that. Before defending it and coming at my throat, just admit one thing, this movie universe is clearly not the one we as fans wanted, but the one we have no choice but to tolerate. The fact people have to defend it at all says everything. They had an easy task of shitting out a few formulaic "cartoon character in real world" stories and somehow they drop the ball even when the bar is literally on the ground. Meh.
I just finished it and I am so glad I went in with low expectations. Wade was the star of the show and his jokes were pretty bad and knuckles barely appeared. So hoping the Sonic movie 3 is nothing like this
This show should have been Knuckles getting hunted by gun secretly because he was using his power to much and not fitting in so in the finale knuckles fits in more and we have set up gun for Sonic 3
The show should have been called “Wade goes bowling and knuckles”
I still would’ve watched it
& knuckles
Wade the human and knuckles
Exactly
The adventures of Wade!!! . . . And Knuckles I guess
I feel like people who said "it's not that bad, you are just mean" miss the point, like it just doesn't feel like a Knuckles show and is more focused on human characters.
I assume they’re just looking at it as a good show, but not looking at it as a good *Sonic* show
LS Mark callout

Just torrent it. It’s not worth it though imo. You’re better off watching a 5 minute RUclips video that explains the plot.

@@sahaprocks7751 Gotcha
Unpopular opinion but honestly aside from the final episode episode 4 was probably my favorite episode. It was honestly really funny and was just absolutely insane. People only dislike that episode because it doesn’t have knuckles in it not because of what it actually has. Another unpopular opinion this show’s jokes honesty hits harder then both of the Sonic movies (not saying they aren’t funny)
That episode was so funny. The "low budget rock opera" got the laughs out of me 😂😂😂
I don’t like the episode 4 because not « enough of Knuckles » but because make a corny ass musical for Wade at defend himself like….yeah no it’s just bullshit
I thought it was completely okay as a show in general, but really sucked as a supposed “Knuckles” show, the first two episodes made me hopeful because I wasn’t even against the premise of a comedic buddy cop thing between Knuckles and Wade, the problem was that they put the bigger focus on the wrong character and heavily shafted the titular character
my biggest compliment that I’ve said on another video is that I liked the Jessie and James-like dynamic of the two ex-GUN agents
also, I have to agree with your theory about this just being a scheme to get people to buy a Paramount+ subscription because it’s an absolutely nothing service, with as far as I know only having one other original series being the awful Halo show
I think a cartoon would have worked better for knuckles. The premise was meant to be, take a normal world with a whacky loser and with the help of a strong and confident character who struggles to find his own place, help turn him into a strong and capable character while helping to adjust Knuckles into this new world.
Why is everyone just hating this show because of wade 😭
because the show is called "Knuckles" yet Wade is clearly the main character, that would be ok if the show was called "Wade Whipple" but the show was called Knuckles and there's a noticeable lack of Knuckles in the show named after him
Wade is an idiot, and he was hogging up most of the screen time that should’ve been dedicated to Idk…THE RED ECHIDNA THE SHOW IS NAMED AFTER
Because the show was supposed to be focused on Knuckles character’s and not this goofy ahhh Wade
Because wade stole knuckles spotlight.
People say the main problems with this show is that it focussed more on Wade than Knuckles. All of the Sonic movies follow the same issue where they focus too much on the human characters.
People think sonic is for kids and this show is part of the problem
i cant even see how kids would be interested with this

@@garrtoons4303it's ok? But its not that bad
feel like they are gonna have to make a season 2 now, if they don't want more backlash that is.
The only good thing this show brought was the discord stream, thanks for allowing me to watch without giving Paramount a dollar, i said it there and i will say it here, this is just like cars 2 when they made matter the main character
I was laughing my ass off seriously, i should have gone to sleep instead of staying up at 4 AM for this shit
This show is mid when you don’t have a Sonic meat rider glazing the hell out of this show
From the sheer unbridled vitriol I saw from Sam, Johnny and Nick, I expected FAR worse.
But after being burned by Marvel and Star Wars countless times, I don't look the gift horse in the mouth when something less egregious is released.
Having just come off of the utter nothing burger and year long waste that was Sonic Prime, this was a breath of fresh air. On the count that all my time and investment wasn't for naught.
Unlike the shows from Disney+ that are named after the titular character but sideline him for someone "new and better" (normally a self-insert) as well as insult and demean him, here at least I can look at Knuckles and know he's still cool.
And I'm sorry but if people are gonna apologise for Sonic X sidelining the main cast, then they're gonna have to do the same thing here.
And at least with Knuckles it's _one_ Sonic character vs _several_ human characters, not one _human_ character against several _Sonic_ characters.
Could this have been better, absolutely. Could it have been worse; don't count your blessings.
They could've given Knuckles the same treatment as Loki, or Boba Fett, or Obi-Wan, or Moon Knight, or Picard, or Mando. But they didn't. Yet people still bark and clap like seals for those shit shows.
This show isn’t bad imo, I get what they were going for narratively. I like the dynamic between Knuckles and Wade, I like how they dual each other in goals. For example, what does Wade want? He wants to be a warrior, who can teach him that? Knuckles! What is Knuckles looking for? Knuckles is looking for a home(which I think the show could’ve put more emphasis on) who has a home? Wade has a home! Knuckles feels lost because he finished his goal, he gets a new goal to train Wade and through that Knuckles also gets what he wants. The show focusing on Wade which I understand can be annoying, ultimately shows Knuckles succeeding his new goal which imo is good writing.
wade had 99% of the screen time
@@Autoboiiiiii You know that’s not true
@@axiom6000 it is tho
@@axiom6000Did you watched the show ?
@@mantheray6109 Yes, 99% is a gross exaggeration.
When will you people understand It’s not easily animate CGI live action movies, geez the fan base is cruel
Wade is peak
FINALLY. Someone with a good opinion here
Ong, I love Wade's delusional rescue mission plan
It's not awful, but i agree with one thing
Less Wade! More Knuckles!
Who unlike Sonic he doesn't chuckle! (?)
I’ll never understand the Sonic Prime hate in these comments. Best interpretation of Shadow we’ve gotten since ‘06 and anytime sonic fought with him or they were on screen together was amazing. As for the knuckles show haven’t seen it yet but definitely gonna form my own opinion after I’ve seen it. As a majority of people hated Prime as well yet I ended up loving it.
same here, i've only seen Prime, the first season of Boom, Knuckles and 10 episodes of X and from what i've seen Prime shits on the rest, Knuckles is good but don't expect Knuckles to be the main character
New title: The Wade and Knuckles hour.
How about this wade and the shitty family
This show is gonna be divisive as hell
I wouldn’t say the show was awful. I actually really liked the first 3 episodes. And then I got to episode 4, realized I’m not having a nightmare and am actually still watching the knuckles show, and then was bored to tears with the final 2 episodes. I don’t know how the quality dropped so hard after a great first half.
Why is everyone hating it just because it didn't only have knuckles, its apart of the sonic movie franchise what did you except.
because for a show called knuckles i would expect him to be in at least half of the show but hes not
@@SFproductions1 you make some pretty good points but I feel like your still being a bit to harsh.
i expected a show about Knuckles, especially considering the show is called "Knuckles"
7:07 yeah I was thinking maybe at the end of the show Shadow would pop up and kick Knuckles' ass or something like that but no it has no tie in to Sonic 3 there's no Shadow or Eggman or any of that.
Keep in mind the show is a spin-off set right after sonic 2, and only the first episode is directed by Jeff fowler. Also keep in mind it’s a comedy show and not meant to be too serious. Besides, why would they introduce their most anticipated and beloved character in a spin-off show that people have to buy to see? If they want sonic 3 to perform well they have to reach maximum engagement and get people to see shadow.
I think that was for the best maybe
so i'm gonna be honest i don't get why people hate this show, i saw it, twice since i had to stream it to some people in discord and we all had a great time, i do want people to explain why they hate it tho, cause i think its a charming and silly fun show, with a lot of fun moments and you end up caring for wade and his silly little bowling tournament thingy
How much Songs are in Ep 4 since, I heard it is a Musical Episode. My father deesn't like Musicals, but i wanted to watch the show with him, so pls tell me how much songs are in the ep.
@@radmilastupar4235 i think it's like 1 or 2 continous songs that go on for the last half of the episode but whatever happens in them is incredibly funny
@@JulOverHeaven so it's not like the Miraculous Movie that had like 10 Songs?
thats the thing you saw it with friends watching alone is horrible
Idk I just never liked wade and it felt disappointing cause I was excited to see how knuckles would fit in Earth maybe with his two friends but the focus changed for no reason
More like the Chuckles show. Unlike Knuckles, he chuckles. Wade, that is.
Definitely should've been called the "Wade Show" since it rarely has Knuckles in it.
I'll say up-front that I did not watch this show and I'm not very jazzed by the current movies (but 2 is a huge improvement over 1), but a friend gave me a Devil's Advocate for this show, if anyone wants it.
It's true that the show is about Wade, but Knuckles is the central figure that gives everyone motivation. In the case of the villains, they went into action to get his power. For Wade, Knuckles' example and life story pushed Wade into being a better person even when Knux wasn't on-screen. As goofy as the play is, it's also still about Knuckles and forces Wade to see life from his perspective, so Knux is still central to the show. It's like Chris' relationship with Sonic in X, but more comical and not sending Knuckles away in the end.
That's better than my initial thought that Paramount just doesn't trust the Sonic characters and is overly pleased with their humans, but this is still not the direction I would have gone in. I'm not a big fan of the movies' humor yet and I wouldn't make a show about a CG character if the budget couldn't accomodate him. The short about Team Sonic and the junkyard robot and what I'm hearing about Movie 3, however, are promising even to a jaded person like me.
I hope Tails gets his own spin off show series and that it will be nothing at all like this.
Awful is too much of a negative word for something which isn’t honestly that bad. It’s like a 7/10, I kinda expected this not to be anything to super special.
you mean 1/10
@@Autoboiiiiii Extremely overdramatic and immature rating
@@chaoticmeep you're right i was being salty it's a 3.6/10
My opinion : ep 1 & 2 are good . The rest , awful .😔
Agreed
Ep 3 was good tho but I can agree that the rest is just like ooof 💔
I was so excited by watching the 1 and 2 episodes, and the rest of them made me feel disappointed and mad
I think episode 3 was only made to support Israel, they should've implemented real life problems in a kids friendly show
I don't get why people are so mad at the show just for having too much Wade, do people actually think he's that unfunny?
Yeah I like Wade
the problem is the show's called Knuckles, the show isn't called Wade, and Wade's clearly the main character
@@GDMcGurk He's still a major character in the show.
@@sahaprocks7751 he's still a major character but they shouldn't call the show "Knuckles" they should've jus called it "Wade Whipple"
He’s kinda annoying and corny
Still better than Velma season 2
I think this show missed the mark because jeff folwer director of the movies was working on 3rd movie
Episode 4 was your least favorite?? Your opinion, but that was my personal favorite one! The music was good, the visual gags were hilarious (Random puppet and the gliding costume are examples), and revealing that Knuckles had previously defeated Iblis in the movie timeline was interesting.
From reading the episode title before the show released, I was slightly hoping for the plot to involve the villains trying to awaken Iblis, even though that would be a little unusual since they haven't done the Sonic Adventure 1&2 plots yet. Despite that, it was a fun cameo.
I’m someone that enjoy the show but it definitely has a few problems. The two main problems I had with the show is the time you get to the 4th episode this where the show becomes a Wade show not Knuckles. My second problem with this show is Wanda because she is so annoying in the show but she can funny some times. Overall, I give the show a 8/10.
"If it isn't better than both movies combined it is worse than Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric"
who the hell said that lmao
Knuckles: "SHUT UP!!"
"Oh-no!"
Wade Show
& Knuckles...
It’s not that bad it’s good but I respect your opinion still a amazing video
Sonic fans if you think this show is good expand your horizons this was a disrespect to knuckles and the sonic lore
Brother I think we should just let people enjoy things
@@SFproductions1 nah we shouldn’t then creators are just gonna stick with the formula we should complain over this
Go watch Prime for that, something they have declared IS the lore.
@YouArntSuppsedToFndThsChannl
Extended media has always done its own thing, where have you been.
I really feel like they should've had more character development for Knuckles rather than Wade.
Wade's sister seemed to have little reason or explanation on why she's so rude and aggressive towards Wade.
I would have been satisfied if her reasoning was "She takes her anger out on him because her father left." or something.
But what I got from her character is she just wants to 1-up Wade just to look superior and cool.
As for Wade, to me he just seems like too much of a goofball for me to enjoy properly.
there is some good moments I enjoyed such as the little musical he did, and the fact that he interrupts the song to punch the bars.
but after the 4th and 5th "Clumsy/Oopsie", it just gets too stale for me in my opinion.
like you said, he's a comic relief character, and too much comic relief can turn things poorly.
and I found Wade's Motivations and Reasoning to be just unrealistic? I understand its meant for general audiences but it could've been better.
for Knuckles, I feel like he was very much underused for a show that literally has "Knuckles" in it.
He experience little character development and gets tossed to the side as a side character for the other half of the show.
I did enjoy the OVA hat he got, and the little bits of rap music as he rode on a motorcycle.
all n' all, It could've been better if the show focused on the Sonic characters more rather than the humans, I'm pretty sure 90% of the people watching this show was for Knuckles. But of course they love making references and decided to make this an & Knuckles TV Show.
TL/DR: "Wah Wah Wah I like knuckles Wah Wah Wah It could've been better!!"
Totally disagree I thought it was epic
even episode 4?
It was epic when the first episode dropped
hey atleast you can see what these three creatures are doing in the fictional world but in my opinion its just something i can watch while im bored
The musical episode was actually my favorite one.
I can definitely understand the hate.
You and other people in the comments are way too harsh. Like worst piece of Sonic media my ass
While I didn’t really LOVE Wabe just taking over in the middle of the series I can see why it would turn out that way. This was a tv show and for what I know doing all the CGI work will get expensive - shifting to a Wade focus would save money in a show that already putted so much money in the fight scenes and other CGI stuff. Overall, I thought it was a pretty ok, even good show. However, the Wade shift was jarring and quite unfortunate for it was Knuckles’s show and I was looking forward to looking into HIM. I’d rate 6.5/10
This should’ve been based on weed becoming a better deputy that could’ve been more interesting
Why is everything starring knuckles mediocre
Knuckles chaotic
And now knuckles show
the worst part is a Knuckles show could be good if they actually put effort into it
@@GDMcGurk that could be said with anything in this franchise
@@SparklingJam true but at least Shadow the Hedgehog starred Shadow, at least 06 starred Sonic, this show was called Knuckles but starred Wade, as the main character

I wouldn't say its perfect but it's a good enough show to keep us busy and entertained while we wait for Sonic 3.
never been more disappointed in a sonic show in my life. yes, even underground was better.
You Sonic fans are actually insane bro
U didnt mention iblis in knuckles origin story
LMAO at these comments. We got one semi-descent game and now fans suddenly forget that most of the Sonic stuff released in the last few decades is of mediocre or disappointing quality. This show being bad does not surprise me at all. They're basically milking the sudden recent success with a bunch of half baked projects.
Even the movies were of barely bearable quality, and this show is lower than that. Before defending it and coming at my throat, just admit one thing, this movie universe is clearly not the one we as fans wanted, but the one we have no choice but to tolerate. The fact people have to defend it at all says everything.
They had an easy task of shitting out a few formulaic "cartoon character in real world" stories and somehow they drop the ball even when the bar is literally on the ground. Meh.
HAHAAH "last few decades"
Sanic was never good, I guess.
I just finished it and I am so glad I went in with low expectations. Wade was the star of the show and his jokes were pretty bad and knuckles barely appeared. So hoping the Sonic movie 3 is nothing like this
im suddenly having less hopes for sonic movie 3 to be good
3 has dif writers dw
Bro these are completly different writers
This show should have been Knuckles getting hunted by gun secretly because he was using his power to much and not fitting in so in the finale knuckles fits in more and we have set up gun for Sonic 3
The Wade show's pretty good when Knuckles isn't here.
Yeah, Paramount does not know what they want with the show even if they tried
