      I thought Halloween ends was pretty good. It tried to do something different and it worked for me and I appreciated the trying something new. Also just because someone is on a poster doesn't mean they're going to be a main character. It's not called Michael myers it's called Halloween ends so If someone doesn't like the movie because there wasn't enough michael myers than that's they're own fault for having that expectation. Wonder woman was on the poster for batman v superman and she wasn't anywhere close to a main character in that movie.

    You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. They’ve made two movies that actually did a solid job focusing on Sonic as the main character (minus the wedding scene from Sonic 2) and yet they couldn’t make a show focusing on Knuckles as the main character? 💀☠️ It’s sad because Knuckles is such a cool character with tons of great stories to tell and they pull him in a lame one where he gets sidelined for half of it apparently. I didn’t come for Wade Whipple and his family drama I came for KNUCKLES. Despite my initial mixed reaction from the trailer I was willing to give this show a chance because if it didn’t have the Chaotix and what not at least it could’ve focused on Knuckles and his past. If anyone enjoys this show more power to you. As for me I’m just disappointed.

I’m so over being let down so many times as of recently and I’m done using the “delay it so we can make it better” excuse for franchises like Sonic. No, it’s not hard to make a great story. Heck, let me write it for once! I wanted this show to be about Knuckles exploring his inner echidna roots and exploring temples across the world and other planets. I wanna see the Chaotix and Knuckles struggle against Fang the Sniper, Bark the Polar Bear, and Bean the Dynamite. WHY CAN’T THEY EVER LISTEN?!

    I feel cheated, I feel clickbaited, I am very disappointed. Why is wade the star in knuckle's show?
    However, I will say the parts we got with knuckles and the stuff we got with the gun agents, were VERY interesting. I was on the edge of my seat with excitement when the focus was on them. I was grasping on that excitement, hoping to see more or what we were promised, and we barely got that.

    I guess I had a very different experience with the Knuckles series. I was looking forward to this because I've enjoyed the Sonic films so far, although it didn't seem necessary, but it was still on my watch list, and I certainly wasn't thrilled about its multiple delays. I knew that Wade was going to be a prominent character, and I had heard about complaints about him having too much focus, but I wanted to go into the series knowing as little as possible aside from what was shown in the advertising.
    Now having seen the full series, I really found myself enjoying it overall. I enjoyed Wade as a minor character in the films, and I imagine that one's enjoyment of the show depends a lot if one is invested in his character arc, and I definitely was, so much so that I honestly was ok that it got as much focus as it did. Yes, I get if there are people who really feel like Knuckles was sidelined in his own spin-off, but I was alright with it, and I get what they were doing with him seeing Wade as a potential apprentice.
    The structure of the series felt a lot like the first Sonic film compared to the second, and I find that it worked. In all honesty, episode 4 was the big highlight for me, as I found the low-budget style musical journey Wade experienced to be very humorous, and the episode's conclusion was very satisfying.
    Despite my enjoyment of the show, it wasn't without a few shortcomings. I found Wade's sister to be kind of a pain in episode 3, in which she was such a jerk to him, and she didn't seem to grow enough by the end. But the real problem I have with the series is the lack of closure, which is a big problem for any show. With all the setup in the first episode, there really should have been more of a proper ending. I actually thought there was potentially going to be a big change with Knuckles at the end, but it didn't seem to confirm anything yet. But we never see when he returns home, which is disappointing considering how things were when he left on his journey. It was nice to see Sonic, Tails, and Maddie in the first episode, but they really should have appeared in the last episode as well.
    Despite the abrupt ending, I still really enjoyed the series, even though I totally understand why others would be disappointed by it. At least I've still got the third film to look forward to before the year is over.

    I am genuinely shocked by this to be honest?
    The first two Sonic the Hedgehog films are actually rather good! They really got it right.
    I’ve heard nothing but positive things about this series so it surprises me to hear that the show is NOT actually about Knuckles!
    This sounds an awful lot like the studio ignored what the fans liked the most about the films which of course was the hedgehogs, but ultimately decided to focus more on the human characters. That makes no sense!
    This makes me a little worried for Sonic 3…

    • @thaddeustoth7460
      @thaddeustoth7460 Месяц назад +1

      Actually, I wouldn’t worry about the third movie, especially due to the fact that the reason why Knuckles is hardly in the show was probably due to budget.
      In my personal opinion, I think this show wasn’t really supposed to be something to be hyped about, but rather just a side thing to keep the Sonic fans occupied before movie 3 comes out.
      The show wasn’t bad by any means, but it’s not necessarily hype material either, and I think that was intentional.
      You all seem to be jumping to conclusions in the comments about the third movie mirroring this show when it seems to me that there’s hardly any evidence.

    I liked it when it actually focused on Knuckles and the Sonicverse lore, and I loved the anime-esque feel to the final battle (even if it was just a cut and paste of Sonic 1.)
    Problems were focusing too much on Wade and being way too jokey. The Sonic movies are jokey too, but they know when to reign it in and focus on the drama of the plot. This is just non-stop jokes and cheesy one-liners that often fall flat on their faces and often end up ruining otherwise tense scenes.
    And don't even get me started on the annoying, immersion-breaking product placement.
    People shouldn't expect too much though and just take this for what it is: A stop-gap spin-off before Sonic 3.
