Wade (& Knuckles) SPOILERS

[small token]

the three of sonic

[potent shore]

episode 4 is done, I think its my favorite so far, All the video game references in that one.

[wild bay]

Fuck that

[languid obsidian]

oh yea i will say personally

[wild bay]

Scott the woz once said something about hype. I forgot that quote

[languid obsidian]

||i know people take issue with the end but personally i find the abrupt end to be a mercy lol||

[wild bay]

My blood boiling

[fallow grail]

https://vxtwitter.com/szylish_guy25/status/1783953210442441166 this scene has more emotion than the 2019 Lion King remake

[unreal plume]

erased lmao

[potent shore]

episode 5 is now done, time for the 6th and final episode

[potent shore]

Just finished watching, It was fun, Great used of The Warriors as the main theme ngl.

Episode 4 being musical theme was fun, How they used it to explain Knuckles origin, and its video game references.

I dont get how some critics didn't like the 4th episode, But if you were a Sonic fan, You appreciate it all the little nods to things.

[cursive mason]

episode 1 done

was pretty good tho

and funny

[cursive mason]

episode 2 done and it was really good ngl

pretty funny

[potent shore]

someone posted the intro with the warrior song. https://fxtwitter.com/EthanCrossMedia/status/1784074533206388748

[unreal plume]

Honestly based for making an intro

more shows should do them

This, Peacemaker, X-men 97, all goated for having one

[potent shore]

Most of the hardcore fans would complain about the use of 80s songs instead of the game music, But its very nostalgic when you hear 80s music that sounds just right.

[unreal plume]

I totally agree. Makes you feel like it belongs

And this one I think it does

[potent shore]

There are a ton of 80s songs whose titles would fit for the right moment when used effectively

[cursive mason]

3rd one done!

it was wholesome tho but this show feels kinda like a shitpost sometimes

[potent shore]

wait till you see episode 4, Its so brilliant.

[cursive mason]

starting 4th one

[cursive mason]

ok I just finished the 4th one

bros...

I think this one of the best ones kflqwfwk

this is pure meme and I love it

only 2 left

[unreal plume]

Insane episode

but I loved it for that

[cursive mason]

time for the 5th one

[potent shore]

Not just that, but how they explain some of the lore

[unborn aurora]

I DID IT! I WATCHED WADE FEATURING KNUCKLES

[unreal plume]

Enjoy it?

[unborn aurora]

I will not give my thoughts

[potent shore]

I bet you cant get that song out of your head

[cursive mason]

episode 5 was probably the worst one honestly

it has its moments but ehh

time for the last one

[leaden ferry]

Honestly I really get the feeling that at some point the pitch of the show did have to do with the whole iblis thing

Bc I really don't think they came up with that for this musical number

And it just stayed for the later scripts as they realized just how broke they are

[cinder dragon]

yeah, even for a silly mental musical bit, it's pretty random of them to reference IBLIS so specifically

[cursive mason]

the way it ended lmfaooo

bros

this show is amazing

must say

the villain is pretty dumb

since he barely appeared but

aside from that

this was a blast

laughed a lot

gud show

oh yeah and the last episode is kinda like

the first sonic movie

[trail ether]

So far I like the show

Episode 3 tho

Absolutely wtf

How did it get past executives

[cinder dragon]

https://vxtwitter.com/VivaDaRevo/status/1784058222862532825

[gilded lake]

bro I love that end shot so much

It fits perfectly over Knuckles char

But yeah ep5 is easily the weakest one

It's very nothing

[fallow grail]

hear me out

[gilded lake]

wade having wild taste

[cursive mason]

💀

[fallow grail]

he has PEAK taste

[gilded lake]

https://vxtwitter.com/habitovin/status/1784112900853887431

[cursive mason]

Same

[potent shore]

We know that the rings opens portals to whatever place you're thinking of, So how do the ring weapons work? Unless the wielder of it thinks of where it should open to as they fire it?

Case in point, to that cube to trap Knuckles in

[quartz hearth]

Yeah that’s exactly it

Not sure I quite got the hoover ring portals at the end tho, think I missed a line or so of dialogue there

[potent shore]

I was thinking they got suck into space.

[quartz hearth]

Oh that is GRIM then lol

knux kill count real….

[potent shore]

Space is a vacuum, if you open an airlock, you'll get sucked out.

honestly I don't know where they got sucked into, so that's my only assumption, and it was Knuckles who threw it, So he thought of some place.

[inland valley]

He closed the 2 rings on each other, so I assumed that he practically erased them from existence.

It's hard to explain but the scene confused me.

[potent shore]

at first there were two rings and it was going on some loop

[mental arrow]

They’re in the Backrooms

[potent shore]

There's a part on the final episode with the sports announcers, and one makes a reference that could be of Shadow. https://fxtwitter.com/CynosGohegdae/status/1784131928230076518

[little jolt]

https://vxtwitter.com/luciacas_tillo/status/1784218955093094469?s=46&t=VmNWvNBI6VshmG0kqb2Mgw

[potent shore]

In the SCU, 50 years ago would be somewhere in the 70s

[potent shore]

I would assume he sneaked out despite being grounded, Teenagers have done that, and then sneak back into the house undetected.

[quartz quail]

Oh yea can we talk about the whole 50 years thing and how they basically referenced shadow

[sand fox]

i shouldn't be here because i haven't watched the series yet, but it's intriguing to see "50 years" pop up multiple times across both movie 1&2 and this

sneaky setup perhaps?

[quartz quail]

Yep, very sneaky setup

So what happend 50 years ago in the movie sonic universe

• Project Shadow (Sonic 2)
• Wachoswskis were set on protecting the town of Green Hills (Sonic 1)
• Bowling tournament of 1974, implied Shadow was there (Knuckles Series)

[sand fox]

can't be a coincidence

using 50 years as a crutch would be pretty terrible writing

[quartz quail]

Its totally not

But yea so it would be fun seeing shadow and maria go bowling

So that means maria was on earth so

Thats kind of a difference

And they said that "it wasnt as fun"

Whoch could be either

• shadow was broody and not fun
• something bad happend

[inland valley]

I would like to know what exactly happened.

It seems to imply an important event happened 50 years ago in relation to bowling.

And of course, Shadow.. in some way.

[fallow grail]

i don't think it's a reference to Shadow

IT WAS A REFERENCE TO BLACK DOOM FOR HIS UPCOMING TV SERIES RELEASING ALONGSIDE HALF-LIFE 3

[quartz hearth]

I think it could be but I doubt it’ll be dwelled on too much lol

(at least the bowling side of it)

[inland valley]

Will they elaborate on it is my question.

If they're going to mention it once only because it's Shadow, I would find it strange.

[fallow grail]

probably not, imma guess for now that it was Black Doom, he was a famous bowler back in the day, then he left to make Shadow with Gerald

[quartz hearth]

I’m down for this if only for black doom in full bowling getup

[quartz quail]

I just think the implication of shadow and maria going bowling is crazy

[potent shore]

Would Shadow be considered an alien, Even if he was created on Earth?

[quartz quail]

Yes

[potent shore]

Someone was at a bowling tournament, and wasn't blue, One would assume its Shadow, Or...... Silver, He's a time traveller, so maybe he traveled back to the 70s.

[quartz quail]

Its shadow

Hes not a normal human or animal

Hes am alien like

Specially from other people

Like even if hes made on earth

[potent shore]

he's a genetically engineered being that was created using DNA of another.

Someone else other then Shadow was there.

[cinder dragon]

That was honestly a really nice moment, and in a decent enough episode I might add.

Sure hope the episode after is just as decen—

[cinder dragon]

https://vxtwitter.com/McMistle/status/1784074302112887149

I gotta say, that final fight with the mech in the Knuckles series was pretty sweet

[novel locust]

The flashback of the shabbat dinner with young Wade, and his family had me in stitches.

The fucking goat on the table.

[quartz quail]

It did made me laugh in how horrfying they made it look

[twilit pasture]

They finna collect blue spheres for eternity

[sand fox]

https://fixupx.com/szylish_guy25/status/1784184585028354190?s=46

again i shouldn't be asking but how often does iblis get mentioned in this movis

[median jacinth]

Just this episode

https://x.com/CalzoneCave/status/1784180137895903303

calzone 🍕 (@CalzoneCave) on X

the Knuckles series confirming fucking Iblis is canon to the movies just so they can have it make a joke about Facebook Marketplace is the funniest thing that has ever happened actually

Twitter · Apr 27, 2024, 11:17 AM

They never actually mention him by name though, only "fire demon"

[leaden ferry]

I feel like that's bc of 2 things:

They wanted people who know 06 but aren't sonic fans to not recognize and immediately complain

And also they don't want to 100% commit to this being iblis incase reception is bad or smth

[unreal plume]

Technically accurate

Iblis means evil spirit or devil in Islamic culture

[sand fox]

they gave knuckles fire abilities which seems really strange

[unreal plume]

I mean, Knuckles has had fire abilities before

like in Heroes

[sand fox]

heroes being my sonic knowledge weak spot

https://fixupx.com/jelivrc/status/1784226062840508655?s=46

[median jacinth]

Booooooo

Let him Bowl

[sand fox]

🤷‍♂️

[median jacinth]

Shadow Bowling Shadow Bowling

[sand fox]

but then again

[gilded lake]

Yeah Knuckles always have fire abilities since Heroes

[quartz quail]

Nah he was bowling

[gilded lake]

Just not in the way Blaze does

But either way it's really dope over how Knuckles and Blaze utilize fire abilities

[sand fox]

according to one of the movie topdogs (forgot who) gun in the movie universe was something that really only intensified its operation after sonic caused a blackout + they noticed more strange alien creatures coming

[gilded lake]

Knuckles because of his punches can cause very strong heat while Blaze has literal fire power

[gilded lake]

.......actually wait I'll say SA1 too

[sand fox]

oh, that's how it works

[gilded lake]

If wanting to count maximum heat knuckles attack

Yeah

[unreal plume]

he did have a projectile attack, right?

[gilded lake]

Nah more of like I said earlier

Knuckles series basically did a callback on that

[unreal plume]

and I don't think you need Iblis to bring Blaze

like Rush exists before 06

[gilded lake]

^

But it's so bizarre to see them suddenly reference Iblis

[quartz hearth]

Adore how his laptop/tablet is branded with a lil pic of himself

[median jacinth]

The sol-air book

[unreal plume]

Yeah. But I wouldn't say they did a bad thing with it

it's an interesting way to adapt Iblis

Now I wonder what will they do if they adapt Mephiles

[gilded lake]

oh yeah for sure

But I do love how they basically portrayed "Flame of disaster"

It fits Knuckles a lot better than I thought

[unreal plume]

Mhm, also more interesting than how 06 handled it imo

[gilded lake]

Not like that's hard anyways

💀

But I really hope this means a lot over Knuckles char in Sonic 3 Movie

[quartz hearth]

Also something IMMENSELY funny about how it just cuts into “MICHAEL BOLTON EVERYONE” too

just so silly and I love it

[gilded lake]

Cope moment. Actually them doing Super Knuckles

[unreal plume]

IT'S SO FUNNY

Everything of episode 4 is insane

the type that I adore

little moment, I mentioned it before but the ring sound is the master system/game gear one

odd choice but still accurate lmao

[median jacinth]

Do we know if Christopher Lloyd is in Sonic 3

[quartz hearth]

Ooo that’s a point, I don’t know if we do

[potent shore]

Good question, And if they ever do a 4, and Perfect Chaos is involved, Would they explain that whole backstory with Christopher Lloyd explaining it all

[quartz hearth]

…remember when we thought he was Gerald 😭

[cinder dragon]

fun times :0

[unreal plume]

😭

[potent shore]

If I remember, Wasn't there a reference to Gerald?

GUN has been around since the 70s, But it wasn't called GUN back then

I don't remember, but there was a reference to something from a GUN agent

[cinder dragon]

while it's kinda strange to see a godly being actually pop up or referenced in the movie universe, and as a giant puppet thing no less,
it is kind of actually interesting to see the likes of Iblis adapted into simple strange monsters Knuckles came across in his own ventures which would've been nice to see legitimately but ah well
just weird monsters to run into across the galaxy

something about it has a bit of a "lived in" feel to it

[novel locust]

https://youtu.be/PAsJbNQ56b8?si=EQbqG-5LWk6p6Yfq

[unreal plume]

Yeah yeah, it's a weird thing for sure. Suddenly

you have this monster around like that

[novel locust]

I'm ready for this

[median jacinth]

just realized

No longer US based lol

[potent shore]

Watched there reaction to episode 4

[small token]

i think they’re a global operation

[median jacinth]

That's how they are in the games so it'd make sense

Guardian Units of Nations

This answers the "how are they going to make GUN a branch of the US government" to begin with though, slowly distancing themselves from it

[cinder dragon]

sitting around, thinking about my feelings on this show,
then it hit me

is it safe to assume the Buyer is dead?
the glass ball thing lands on him, Knuckles does a hero landing, and we just cut to the bowling tournament, high five, credits

[gilded lake]

yeah the buyer is dead

[cinder dragon]

ending's really rushed in that regard, so it gives the impression that he's fucked

[quartz quail]

Yea the buyer is dead lmao

[median jacinth]

About as safe to say as Sonic games showing cities getting flooded and exploded (no one died actually)

[unreal plume]

"All that goes well, ends well"

Tails, 1998

[quartz hearth]

Knuckles killcount (real)

[cinder dragon]

it's so funny to look at these lil guys and remember that they pretty much left their opponents to die

[quartz quail]

Sonic killcount (one?)

[potent shore]

https://fxtwitter.com/wg_alen/status/1784105825763783008

[cinder dragon]

we kinda know that :0c

[unreal plume]

I remember saying someone saying it was the wrong special stage, but technically Mania allowed that canon-wise by making the U.F.O special stages appear in stages like Hydrocity, Flying Battery and Lava Reef

which belong to 3&K

[potent shore]

https://fxtwitter.com/wg_alen/status/1784108308691071137

[median jacinth]

Ok but what about references to the movies it was based off of

The references for the non gamers

[potent shore]

https://fxtwitter.com/wg_alen/status/1784109786189172749

[gilded lake]

Feels good seeing the drill again

[cinder dragon]

oh, Wade's got in that SPADES

[median jacinth]

Yeah but those are the easter eggs

What about the scene references

[potent shore]

NGL, But I love the TMNT references you see here, First the bed sheets, and the poster for the 1990s TMNT movie

Anyone talk about this action scene? The camera panning around while Knuckles and Wade's mom fights some dude and keeping the candles safe. https://fxtwitter.com/szylish_guy25/status/1784281269272023241

[unreal plume]

It's honestly very good

Very creative way to do a fight

[potent shore]

Indeed

[unreal plume]

It sort of gave me daredevil hallway type of thing

[potent shore]

Yeah

[trail ether]

Still an incredibly shitty episode

It hit me this morning that Kid Cudi’s character in the Knuckles’ show was an underground fighter who loves fighting dirty and how good of a foil he coulda been to Knuckles whose entire thing is being an honorable warrior and yet they still made Wade’s family the main focus. AUGH

Twitter · Apr 27, 2024, 5:38 PM

[winter dawn]

yikes

[cinder dragon]

I actually wouldn’t mind if Kid Cudi was the main villain of the series

This kind of hotheaded underground fighter using tech to cheat against Knuckles that clearly shows he’s having fun wrecking shit

And the overall humor of this famous rapper being a corny villain

[median jacinth]

The Flames aren't the threat of iblis this time, they are a Warrior's Soul ❤️‍🔥

Even Wade has it in his heart

Uppercut of the century

[gilded lake]

A much better way to represent flame of disaster honestly

Helps that it still blends in with “chaos”

[unreal plume]

Plus it was a very interesting way to tell the story

[trail ether]

The funniest thing is

||this throws my silver post credits idea out the window 😭||

[gilded lake]

||omfg yeah LMAO||

[quartz quail]

No it doesnt

They could easily make something different

[trail ether]

||only thing I can see is if silver is trying to stop Chaos||

[gilded lake]

At the same time this is still sonic movie

It’s honestly the best way fiery

[quartz quail]

||Dude silver could stop a new threat, or have an entire different role lmao||

[small token]

the metal sonic’s

[gilded lake]

Someone already mention you can do both sa1 and 06 with chaos and silver

[median jacinth]

People still thinking in binaries after Iblis hit up Facebook Marketplace

[small token]

||silver’s future could be a dystopia with a bunch of metal sonics ||

[median jacinth]

Smh

[small token]

||and that’s why he goes back to kill sonic||

[potent shore]

Lore doesn't have to be 1x1, you can combine some of create a lore that's unique to the movies

[unreal plume]

Silver's future changes according to what the plot requires so you still can introduce him relatively smoothly

as seen with Rivals or IDW

[median jacinth]

The 1x1 lore

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/o3kAAOSwsPxkiqT1/s-l1200.webp

[potent shore]

I can see a Silver show in which is a time travel series, We go back to a certain period, and meet Robotnik as a kid, Who is the antagonist, Think Biff from the Back to the Future movies.

[median jacinth]

Honestly the outright best needledrop in the entire show is the I Don't Wanna Wait one

Selecting the wrong song only to have it get louder as soon as everything starts going off unintentionally

A+, no notes, perfection lmao

[quartz quail]

Lmfao ok yea that was great

[median jacinth]

God

[leaden ferry]

Oh this was hilarious

Man it's genuinely crazy how not at all bad eps 1 and 2 are

In comparison to the immediate next episode

[median jacinth]

I need more of these kinds of pratfalls for the goofy stuff

[potent shore]

I thought all the stuff before this actually happened, And it turned out he was just dreaming it

[median jacinth]

NEED

It's just the best

[trail ether]

Na his plan before

Was actually fucking hilarious

[potent shore]

https://fxtwitter.com/AniGamerNX/status/1784236435479957725

[trail ether]

The stunt double change 😭

[leaden ferry]

I love just how in your face it is

With the stunt double not having the same physique as wade at all and then the swap happening behind a pillar lmao

[quartz quail]

oh my god there is another raunchy joke under the radar what the fuck

||in the scene with knuckles in the hotel chilling hes watching a scene where julia roberts talks about a guy having a massive dick and knuckles reacts with 😮 i cant fucking believe this||

That ie crazy why are they doing this to knuckles

[unreal plume]

||I only recall one where Knuckles laughs at an announcement that uses Loquendo lmao||

[inland valley]

I sincerely love the musical section of episode 4. Amazing.

[small token]

is this shit meant for kids 😭

yeah i dont think we need to worry about whether or not maria's getting shot anymore

[potent shore]

So Iblis is trending on twitter.

[cursive mason]

Silver bros, the hints are there

[unborn aurora]

Alright screw it

Imma share my thoughts

Review time:

||The Warrior (Ep1): Great/Strong start to the series! Personally one of my favorite episodes in the mini series. Especially since Jeff directed the episode

Don’t Ever say I wasn’t there for you (Ep2): Another good start to the series. Great action, loved Wade’s comedy in this and Knuckles seeing what bowling is was p funny

Shabbat Dinner (Ep3): Don’t get me started on this episode

The Flames of Disaster (Ep4): Well… Hi 06. Also the musical number was actually pretty catchy

Reno Baby (Ep 5): Eh. Too much Wade not enough Knuckles

What happens in Reno, stays in Reno (Ep 6): Bowling tournament was boring but I loved the final battle. Thx Knuckles for straight up killing a man||

There’s my review! Overall it was ok at best

[gritty bridge]

Okay I finished it now... it's like Sonic 1 with Knuckles, I def agree, except it was longer but with less focus on the game protagonist in this case, but it was alright, I can tell it was a good story, they just needed to make Knuckles more the front of it, instead of Wade but I like the relationship, mentor - apprentice, compared to Sonic and Tom family relationship. I wish it was more about Knuckles, really, but it was wacky fun I can't lie, episode 4 was my favorite, ||I just wish they explained the flames of disaster concept, because I would have liked to see it besides the rock opera, explained a bit better, although it shouldn't be Knuckles lore, I would have liked that.||

The movies worked because Sonic was the protagonist, not Tom... so, they should have made Knuckles front at least, we only heard casually his story, ||like the owls and echidnas killing each other, and the flames of disaster thing||, I would have liked to see that explored more. But I liked the vibe though, it kinda reminds me of James Gunn's stuff, both Peacemaker and GotG

||ngl though, I liked the intro, and that they connected it to the final scene||

||I also liked Pachamac's role even though the character was again very different, it wasn't just an hallucination at least, but a spirit guide||

[potent shore]

I think that's a character that can pop up at any time, For example should one of the movies deal with Perfect Chaos, That would be a good place for another appearance to explain more of that backstory.

[gritty bridge]

Except here would have been the place for that tbh

But never say never

[unborn aurora]

Someone pointed this out to me 😭

[quartz quail]

Oh my god and tyson did this panel

[median jacinth]

NIOOOOOOOOO

😭

[potent shore]

Knuckles ask his spirit guide about Chaos on how to deal with him, and he says to go seek his daughter, When he asks where can he find her, He says, Use the master emerald.

[winter dawn]

NOOOO OHHH MY GODIDND D D

[unreal plume]

Is this like satire to him? If so, very clever LMAO

[unborn aurora]

Idk if that’s the actual reference but it’s kinda funny to think of it was a reference he canonically died in universe lol

He got the flames of disastee cuz of his friendship with wade

[unreal plume]

I mean, it didn't matter that much, Knuckles had the upper hand in his fights with Sonic for the most part

[inland valley]

Will we see them in S3?

[brisk willow]

https://tenor.com/view/i-dont-know-master-oogway-i-dont-know-gif-22592197

[gilded lake]

Because sonic was too weak to handle

….wait!

ARE WE GOING TO GET FLAME OF DISASTER VS. CHAOS POWERS!?

I just fucking realize this for sonic 3 movie!

[unborn aurora]

I think the cool part about the Flames of Disaster episode is that Iblis says “Unskilled, untrained, so unworthy” just like Knuckles says to Sonic in S2

[inland valley]

We know that Knux could be in one of the action scenes in S3.

[unborn aurora]

Yoooo the scene Knuckles says about Shadow!

[unreal plume]

Oh yeah, yeah.

[unborn aurora]

“More powerful than the last hedgehog I’ve faced”

[unreal plume]

I recall

[gilded lake]

Nah fuck motorcycle scene! THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO SEE!

[unreal plume]

Considering Knuckles series, Knuckles being spiteful to Sonic makes sense lmao

💀

[gilded lake]

06 actually missed this chance completely holy fuck

[unreal plume]

Bro made him go to the floor of shame and planned his revenge

[inland valley]

The fact that Knux got powers from Iblis is still insane..

[unreal plume]

still better than Blaze which, according to Ian, STILL has Iblis sealed inside of her

[inland valley]

How strong could they be in the movie universe?

[unborn aurora]

How would a 06 movie work then

Shoot

How would a Movie Blaze work

[gilded lake]

Probably dead chance at this point lmao

They have to do a complete different direction instead

[unborn aurora]

I just want Movie Silver voiced by Tom Holland

[gilded lake]

But legit the fact knuckles casually has the flame of disaster is insane

[unborn aurora]

Wish it was an actual scene and not a stage play

[gilded lake]

Ye 😔

[unborn aurora]

Like as a full episode or special that would’ve been amazing

[gilded lake]

Tv show budget moment

[unreal plume]

One of the more creative ways of using the budget if I am honest

[gilded lake]

Yeah

If Blaze shows up in one of the movies, They will have to change her own story, Since Iblis is tied to Silver and Blaze.

[novel locust]

Fans missing the point of the freezeframe ending of the show, told me everything I needed.

[unreal plume]

Not really. The bios of 06 still state blaze is from other dimension

and silver's future has changed, as seen with Rivals and IDW

[potent shore]

They have to figure out how to bring in Movie Blaze

[unreal plume]

heck according to Ian, Rivals is the current 'actual' introduction to the character (referring to Silver)

[winter dawn]

wait fr

?

[quartz quail]

Didnt iizuka say it wasnt canon

[unreal plume]

Yeah, because 06 erased itself, the continuity uses Rivals as the way Silver is 'introduced' to the games

which makes sense since the JP easter eggs usually have Silver not remembering a thing of what happened in 06, as seen in TSR for example

[unreal plume]

At some point perhaps, but currently both Rivals games are considered canon

[potent shore]

Yet Iblis was made canon in the movie universe, Just about the only 06 thing they used

[unreal plume]

yeah but it's no linked to Elise, Mephiles or Soleanna by any accounts so a lot of the things linked to 06.

And Silver and Blaze both have separate games that still can be used to introduce them, Rivals and Rush

[potent shore]

They just pick stuff from the games and put it in the movie canon and made it fit.

[unreal plume]

Mhm, yeah but they still can be introduced. Blaze can be from other dimension and Silver from the future

at least ideally speaking

[potent shore]

This is new information for the SCU canon

[gilded lake]

sonic movie 4 where mephiles tries to figure out how to extract the flames of disasters by making knuckles cry

i find it funny we were all talking about how knuckles took silver's whole thing, but bro also robbed elise of her shit too

[median jacinth]

You can't have a typical mephiles without Iblis and Shadow 😭

If we do get one I feel like it'd be a Mandarin situation

Same name applied to a different guy

[potent shore]

Ok so you can watch the first episode of Knuckles for free on Youtube, But here's the catch, Its in Spanish, It was posted by Paramount+ Mexico's youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWewCnQsLGo

[quartz quail]

Its in portuguese as well

[cinder dragon]

not that I try to find amusement out of it, but it is rather intriguing to see something that's just, whatever at best, practically break the fandom so badly, to this extent

[median jacinth]

Business as usual

Colors, Prime, Forces, SLW, IDW

[small token]

except this time was more widespread

[unborn aurora]

Out of curiosity does anyone have the clip of Knuckles jumping out of the elevator

[unborn aurora]

Bros…

[unreal plume]

LMAO

[idle sundial]

Yeah. It made me laugh.

[median jacinth]

Pour one out for people expecting a post-credits teaser btw lol

[mental arrow]

I’m glad there wasn’t

So I can clock out faster

[potent shore]

There was one, But didn't really setup the 3rd movie

[cursive mason]

Silver is coming

[abstract spruce]

You know

I realized something

Following the TKP review I noticed that our first-big-game-character following Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Shadow was not Amy, not Rouge, not even fuckin Cream

It was Iblis

FUCKIN

IBLIS

IBLIS GOT IN BEFORE AMY FUCKIN ROSE

HOW DO YOU EVEN MANAGE TO DO THAT SHIT

[mental arrow]

Well actually it was Pachacamac

[abstract spruce]

He was in Movie 1 he don’t count

[mental arrow]

Iblis was just a monster, not really a character

Was that really confirmed? I don’t think Tyson hard confirmed that unless he did

[unborn aurora]

Hop off the warrior

[unborn aurora]

Why is Paramount so scared of using official Sonic music?

[small token]

this is actually worse

it feels so forced, it doesn’t fit the musical identity of the show at all

[gilded lake]

I am more amazed Iblis appeared before ANY single super sonic bosses honestly lmao

Like it’s fucking Iblis

[quartz hearth]

Why are sonic fans scared of mainstream music

[median jacinth]

Normal music my beloved

[gilded lake]

Then I’m not a sonic fan since I still have some of mainstream music in my playlist

💀

[novel locust]

I refuse to give hunid p public street cred for the song.
Even if it is a bop

[mental arrow]

American mainstream music is mostly ass, I listen to Indian mainstream music

[lethal ledge]

Sonic music doesn’t get enough limelight. Theres so many good songs.

[novel locust]

Definition of slime ball.

[median jacinth]

Uh

[novel locust]

Pumpkin hill I meant lol.
That one's a constant suggestion

Unknown from me is still at the top.

[quartz hearth]

The virgin pumpkin hill vs the chad “oh fuck yea it’s Green Onions” https://youtu.be/0oox9bJaGJ8?si=aOyEpALcFs0x2_XY

[mental arrow]

Who

This isn’t Anirudh

[unreal plume]

I did not expect them to bring Iblis like that

or at all

just the name of the Flames of disaster and that's it

[blissful shell]

hello!

[unborn aurora]

You make a fair point

[gilded lake]

Fr

[blissful shell]

so I watched knucke

it was fine

I would say that it's weird how Wade takes up a lot of screentime, but I don't hate Wade as a character

I think he is just fine

idk

grioejrfkodmfs,vlfr

6 or 7/10?

I dont care, I wanna go back to resting

[cursive mason]

Fr lmao

[lethal ledge]

Enjoy ur nap

[blissful shell]

I will

I got hyperdrama in the background

AND I got all my uni work done :D

[lethal ledge]

Sounds like nothing but a dream.

[blissful shell]

indeed it is, I love justice :)

[potent shore]

They are full of surprises, Nobody expected Pachacamac would be on it either, Until he showed up in the trailer.

[lethal ledge]

I’m just realizing how many new characters the show introduced.

[potent shore]

https://fxtwitter.com/_Enchilad_/status/1783986586247737655

[mental arrow]

Maybe an original song would be nice

Like Stars in the Sky

I’d like that instead

[median jacinth]

Warrior's a good song but I never noticed just how much it played in the first episode

Also yeah I think I'm done with music references

[mental arrow]

The Seven Rings in Hand experience

[median jacinth]

Enough

Enough with the references

I don't care if normal people soyjack at it

We need good original music

There were like 25 songs they used like goddamn

[mental arrow]

Too many licensed music, listen to radio if you want to hear em

Gimme new bops

[median jacinth]

Dude it's ACDC

[small token]

id love good original music

[median jacinth]

It's so unexpected!

[small token]

hell lets balance it out

live and learn but its like a cinematic cover by a popular punk rock band

[median jacinth]

Tbh I'm like, one of the few people not looking for live and learn lol

But a balance would be acceptable

[small token]

live and learn is the exception for me

[median jacinth]

[small token]

its like the only game song that i think shouldnt be cut

[median jacinth]

It can't hit like the og would

I just don't feel the need

[small token]

i believe in them

[median jacinth]

Nah

Some people prefer the X use of L&L though so I'm sure some people will find it worthwhile

[blissful shell]

truth be told, i can't find myself hating this show cause I have bigger fish to fry rn

https://tenor.com/view/nintendo-nintendoswitch-gif-6040673227133958734

[blissful shell]

i might just die of embarrassment if that happe-

[random oar]

If someone uses Facebook Marketplace, they're a character.

[random oar]

Why is this attributed to just sonic fans, last I checked people in general complain about this kind of music being in any movie

I know it's a joke or whatever, but it's kinda getting annoying at this point

[mental arrow]

I don’t use it, does that mean I’m not a character?

[random oar]

That's not what I said, but sure lmao

[mental arrow]

Damn

[jade fossil]

https://youtu.be/DvWNCXNgGzA

Lmao

It's like different people like different things

!!!!!

I'm only halfway through episode 2

But like

Honestly I'd take this over a show with Rouge and the Chaotix

Lmao

Especially with the movie designs

[blissful shell]

Yea i dont really get the overwhelming hate

its just fine

[jade fossil]

Is it overwhleming

[blissful shell]

ok well maybe just hate

[jade fossil]

Like yeah the show is not """Sonic"""

But honestly it's such a side thing that I don't really give a shit?

And after shit like Prime

I really can't be arsed to sit through another show with just Sonic characters written by western writers

[blissful shell]

I think it's better than prime cause it doesn't go on for very long and it actually has a conclusion

[blissful shell]

also wade is a charming enough human protagonist

i like the bowling set up, bowling's cool

[potent shore]

Bowling is cool, it's the one sport you can chill and relax with.

[blissful shell]

unless you're me and miss 12 times in a row ;-;

[jade fossil]

Did anyone catch the reference to Shadow in the last episode?

The commentator says an extraterrestrial visited in a previous tournament in 1974

Which is exactly 50 years before 2024

[quartz quail]

We did i think

[jade fossil]

Guess they're teasing that Shadow & Agent Stone bowling show

[quartz quail]

Why agent stone

[jade fossil]

Cause there ain't that many side characters

[quartz quail]

Rachel is right there

[gilded lake]

Probably another scene between Maria and Shadow

[quartz quail]

Also there is many side characters

Inckuding maria herself if this was 50 years ago

[jade fossil]

Btw

That was a complete joke

[quartz quail]

Ik

[jade fossil]

I regret even willing it into existence at this point

Well

For what it's worth

I was more entertained than Sonic Prime

But my god

Just put together a decent Sonic show SEGA already

[wild bay]

They act like mainstream music ruined Sonic

It’s like they think putting 80s music into Sonic is stupid

[potent shore]

They don't realize, a lot of that 80s music actually fits Sonic, When you think of the melodies.

Even a lot of electronic music have melodies that fits Sonic.

[mental arrow]

I thought licensed music was always criticized in these types of movies of established IPs so idk why only now it’s ok to use em?

[cursive mason]

I mean it'd be cool to see an orchestral song based on a game song

[median jacinth]

It's sometimes good sometimes bad

[cursive mason]

But not all the time ofc

For example, the people mad at no unknown from me in knuckles show when it doesn't even fit movie knuckles

They literally made a original song for it

[small token]

im probably in the minority when I say the licensed songs in Mario stood out to me more than the movie’s actual soundtrack

maybe it’s just because I’m not an active Mario fan but it really does just sound like mush to me

[median jacinth]

Again if no one knows of it comparatively it's good flavor; if it's something overused to hell and back again then yeah

[median jacinth]

Yep

But the tracks that got replaced were done hella dirty

[small token]

maybe?

honestly I’ve never even rewatched the Mario movie in the year since it dropped, maybe my opinion would change on a second viewing? but there’s so much I’ve been meaning to get to in terms of “rewatching” that I really don’t wanna bother

[mental arrow]

What about Unknown from ME is unfitting yet the gangsta song at the beginning of episode 5 is?

[small token]

the knuckles show has a distinct music taste for itself, a taste that unknown from me doesn’t so easily slot itself into

[median jacinth]

Damn it Feels Good to be a Gansta is a good one tho

[small token]

Maybe if they did like an 80s style cover of it as a compromise

[cursive mason]

What song

I don't remember

[mental arrow]

Is All the Small Things from the 80s?

[cursive mason]

😭

[small token]

but in general I don’t think sonic fans should be clamouring for game music because “i-it’s game music!”

[median jacinth]

Take On Me in the original

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hELsKr5-gh4&ab_channel=AlexOnGoogle

DK Melody in the unused

[wild bay]

They put Thunderstruck in Mario too

[quartz hearth]

counterpoint: I really like Take Me On

[wild bay]

Yeahhh

[gilded lake]

Same also

[wild bay]

Fuck yeah

[median jacinth]

How is this a counterpoint lmao

[cursive mason]

I like this one

[gilded lake]

I tend to listen a lot of mainstream music due to listening the radio before spotify

[median jacinth]

💀

[gilded lake]

Until one of my family constantly put one DB music everytime he is driving

[wild bay]

Mario has Mr Blue Sky at the end

[median jacinth]

Well

That's an opposite problem

[wild bay]

Dragon Ball music lol

[median jacinth]

No one should be subjugated to video game and anime music during day to day listening

But

[gilded lake]

Okay. I don't hate dragon ball music, some one them are nice af

But bro. one music everytime?

[median jacinth]

No one should be subjugated to "I LOVE THAT SONG" in every single movie ever

[wild bay]

Imagine listening to Yakuza music

[median jacinth]

Like

At all

OMG THE 90S yeah

[mental arrow]

Maybe they should

[wild bay]

Eurodance song

[median jacinth]

[small token]

yeah okay I preferred take on me

[median jacinth]

Oh wow

[small token]

heard the song and instantly forgot what the scrapped one was 😭

because I think the licensed song actually captures the scope of this location a bit better

also I’m remembering now this was one of the few Mario movie scenes I actually had fun with 💀

[quartz quail]

Take On Me is good it doesnt fit the fucking moment

[mental arrow]

Man this feels mad revisionist, what do yall mean that you liked licensed music in these and prefer em???? I must be delusional

[quartz quail]

Like lets not just be one or the other just cuz Someone here hates references of any kind in the movie even when they are well done lol

Like I think the use of licensed songs in mario straight uo were all abd

None were good

[median jacinth]

Fr

[cursive mason]

But I need a hero

[median jacinth]

Knuckles is like 60% good

For me

[cursive mason]

[small token]

the Mario movie’s soundtrack may be a good intimidation of the games but I don’t think it’d ever be able to stand on its own as like, music I’d put in my Spotify

[quartz quail]

I need a hero was used better in knuckles

[median jacinth]

It was

[cursive mason]

Dude

[small token]

which is similar to sonic in that I don’t remember any of that soundtrack either

[median jacinth]

So much so

[cursive mason]

That whole sequence lmfaooo

[quartz quail]

I was rolling my eyes first time

[cursive mason]

I love it

[wild bay]

It’s called leitmotif

[quartz quail]

But then

Wow that was peak

[cursive mason]

It was one of the best jokes

[languid obsidian]

i wouldn’t mind licensed tracks if they were used creatively and not just spamming “I need a hero” for every single training montage

that’s my main issue

[quartz quail]

True but

[gilded lake]

hard facts

[quartz quail]

It was used better here than in the mario movie lmao

[small token]

I’m trying to remember that scene now

[languid obsidian]

oh yea i agree

[gilded lake]

I feel like when it comes to using the liscenced music, Knuckles did it overall best comparing to past sonic movies and Mario Movie

Especially with "The warrior"

[languid obsidian]

i’m just saying we can find, if not better, different tracks

[small token]

I don’t think they used it well but that’s also because that training montage in general was kinda fucking pointless

[quartz quail]

Specially cuz it was confusing if it was something thata ctually happend or not

[median jacinth]

Eeeeeh

It's really overused in the first ep

[quartz quail]

The training montage being pointless is the joke

[median jacinth]

But it's fair since it's the theme

[gilded lake]

Nah I get that, I am more of saying in terms of implementation

[small token]

“oh you failed but that’s okay nobody’s ever made it that far!” this is a cop out

[quartz quail]

What

That scene was fucking amazing and had an amazing payoff

[median jacinth]

Uh

Mario movie

[small token]

no it wasn’t 😭😭

[quartz quail]

What are you talking about

[median jacinth]

Oh wait

[quartz quail]

Oh

[median jacinth]

I get it

Oh wait nvm

[quartz quail]

We are talking about Knuckles or Mario

[median jacinth]

Mario

[small token]

Mario

[quartz quail]

OH YEA THAT WAS FUCKING DUMB YEA

im talking about wade just dreaming about saving knuckles and then exploding the car to the tune of I dont wanna wait

[median jacinth]

THAT WAS SO GOOD 😭

[quartz quail]

That legit made me smile i loved that

[languid obsidian]

i love those gags

[quartz hearth]

Honestly my one critique of the licensed music is I want more of the music I like

I want Talking Heads in a sonic movie goddammit

[wild bay]

TALKING HEADS YEAH

[quartz hearth]

put in House of Fun by Madness

[small token]

I think a big issue with the Mario movie is that Mario doesn’t really earn any of his victories? he can’t beat the training course, he needs the cat suit to instantly one shot donkey kong, and uses the rainbow star to do the exact same thing

and yet the whole movie is just hyping up Mario as growing into a hero and proving himself when he doesn’t really prove himself as much as he proves in the effectiveness of conveniently colorful maguffins

[gilded lake]

That shit made me laugh so hard LMAO

[wild bay]

Yeah

[quartz hearth]

TWO TRIBES

[gilded lake]

Especailly at the end part

[wild bay]

The Smiths when

[quartz hearth]

WHERE THE FUCK IS TWO TRIBES

[gilded lake]

Both Knuckles and Wade hugging

[median jacinth]

Hypocricy

[gilded lake]

I was screaming so hard!

💀

[languid obsidian]

honestly yea

[wild bay]

Where’s the Smith?

[quartz hearth]

Ratioed with the best song you’ll ever hear about buying condoms https://youtu.be/GJ2X9SANsME?si=WuhCN3m5t5F3Pi7M

[languid obsidian]

i feel like sonic 3 has the potential to do that for me cuz shadow is a 2000s baby but we shall see

[potent shore]

With the 80s music, There are other songs that could fit the Sonic movies and TV, If used properly.

[median jacinth]

Knuckles is a late 90s boy and he only got a few songs that would fit that bill here

[wild bay]

Rock ballad when

[languid obsidian]

that’s why i said potential yea

i don’t think they actually would but it’d be nice

[median jacinth]

Tha 80s

[wild bay]

Give me Bon Jovi

Give me Huey Lewis and The New

Give me Billy Joel

Give me Elton John

This might be a good song to use, Love is a Battlefield https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo6PgC0cP4c

You listened to Frankie? YEAH!!!!

Give me Pet Shop Boys and Erasure

Give me Van Halen

[quartz quail]

What music would they use for a shadow and maria bowling montage

[wild bay]

Give me Def Leppard

[quartz quail]

Considering the music in 1974

[wild bay]

ABBA

THE CARPENTER

EARTH WINDS AND FIRE

[potent shore]

this would be another good song to use https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGNiXGX2nLU

💀

[median jacinth]

The prophecy....

[novel locust]

I really like the little montages showing the trio in episode 1. With all three of them in the attic and stuff

It's neat that there's an interpretation where they are essentially brothers now.

It's a nice like..pre-visual of sonic 3, before sonic 3.

[rustic fjord]

How did we never see it...

[potent shore]

https://theparentwatch.com/posts/knuckles-episode-3-shabbat-dinner-toby-ascher-interview-01hwa2yx3cf5

So that episode was inspired by Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?

[quartz hearth]

Hmm

I get what they were going for but I think they were too successful at the awkward family dinner vibes, cos mostly it just made me feel awkward lol

Knuckles sorta just drops out of the dinner, so instead of him being the one feeling awkward it’s us, the viewer

[trail ether]

Idk while it felt weird

There were like

A lot of shit that made me think how tf it got past the executives

[quartz hearth]

The fork stabbing really made it into the final thing huh 😭

[gilded lake]

https://vxtwitter.com/szylish_guy25/status/1784304006086729744?s=46&t=hEzBjG7J1D3FOfKF1hrb8g

Bro I laughed so hard during this part LMAO

[rustic fjord]

I really do not get why peoplere being so hard on it

The shows good fun, do we not like fun?

[median jacinth]

Sonic fans and jokes do not combine well

[gilded lake]

Yeah they want serious action only

[rustic fjord]

We say sonic team overcorrects but the fandom definitely does too

[median jacinth]

Knuckles is the new Baldy McNosehair

[rustic fjord]

One decade "Sonic stories are getting too serious" the other they're "too jokey" and the next were finally starting to find a balance

But people are all like "BLAGGG THIS IS AWFUL"

[median jacinth]

The knuckles series doesn't feel properly balanced to me, but overall yeah

[random oar]

For me it's just most of the comedy not really hitting me like they think it should

[wild bay]

Sonic fan hate fun. Period.

[random oar]

And it's been kind of a problem for me for that decade because that comes at a cost of the character investment/development

[rustic fjord]

I just mean we aren't getting 'all serious games' or 'all jokey ones'

You are right it doesn't hit the balance perfectly and knuckles should've had more development time

[median jacinth]

What's funny is that comedy by itself is judged by the collective and how funny they think it is, rather than any individual opinion. It can be personally funny to one individual, but that's not going to cut it as a proper evaluation of how successful it is

It's just

Sonic fans are so

So focused on the serious

That it's proper skewed in a way that it can't possibly mirror how the overall reception is lol

[rustic fjord]

If anything the humor has improved compared to the last two if you ask me

[median jacinth]

It 100% has

[random oar]

Eh

[median jacinth]

Last two movies have NOTHING on this show

[rustic fjord]

I found myself cringing less

Sure it didn't hit all the time but I wasn't groaning at a fart joke or a 'winter soldier' line

[random oar]

I mean in that sense sure, but I kinda groaned harder at episode 3's entire table sequence

[trail ether]

For me it’s a bit weird

[median jacinth]

That's fair but Knuckles' highs are much higher

[trail ether]

Like this is leagues below sonic 2

But I enjoyed it way more than sonic 1

[median jacinth]

Talking in terms of comedy btw

Serious story-wise eeeeh

[trail ether]

Oh ya comedy wise knuckles got some good jokes

[median jacinth]

Wade's character story is stronger than like

[trail ether]

excluding episode 3

[unreal plume]

Oh yeah for sure. Knuckles is much more funny to me than either of the Sonic movies

[median jacinth]

Tom's

Sonic's might give him a run for it but like

[unreal plume]

mainly cause it is much more absurd and that's my type of humor

[median jacinth]

I feel like Sonic's is pretty poor personally

Due to confusing directions

So wade has that over it

BUT

[trail ether]

Also wow

[unreal plume]

everytime I see that I am redundant with a phrase, I want to rip my eyes off

[trail ether]

I actually found sonic

Tolerable

[median jacinth]

The movies 100% knock Knuckles out of the park

[trail ether]

In knuckles

[median jacinth]

In terms of the big stakes story

Obv

[quartz hearth]

I'd say Knux is the funniest of the three so far but you can see how they got to here through 2, its a clear incline

like around 2 there's a definite shift towards more absurdist humour (everything with the wedding) and Knux simply turns that to 11

[median jacinth]

You're not redundant lol, absurd and humor have different meanings

[rustic fjord]

Of course. As much as its clearly not aiming for big stakes story

[gilded lake]

The series just shows why I adore movie knuckles

[unreal plume]

No, I wrote mainly twice within the same phrase

[gilded lake]

He has a perfect balance between serious and goofy

ooo mb

[random oar]

maybe that's why I'm not vibing with Knuckles' show, despite it being weirdly similar to Sonic X season 1 of all things and I'm kinda vibing more with that

[quartz hearth]

also yeah Wade is easily 100 times more interesting and fun to watch than Tom lol

[random oar]

something something live-action at fault maybe

[median jacinth]

How about compared to Sonic's arcs

[unreal plume]

It's cool. Just I hate that habit of mine lol

[quartz hearth]

terrifying to think that at one point Adam Pally was on the cards to play Tom

could you imagine

[median jacinth]

hmmmmm

I can see it

ngl

[quartz hearth]

I absolutely cannot but you do you

his silly vibes are too off the charts to play tom I feel (this is a good thing I'm glad he got Wade)

(even if he had to wait 4 years to get fleshed out)

(you could say..... the wade was worth it)

[median jacinth]

He could play the silly down, I'm saying the actor himself fits imo

Like there's a lot of Knuckles that mirrors the banter that Sonic and Tom have imo

[jade fossil]

I was really thrown off how

Knuckles who is the height of a child

Could just waltz into a casino and assumed to be a dude in a mascot suit

And no one in the background batting an eye lol

[visual condor]

i thought about that but like

im just glad the movieverse doesn't waste time on

explaining that

or having random people just "omg what is this thing"

seen that too many times in other media, just glad they can exist and no one cares for no reason 😭

[unborn aurora]

It did feel super awkward. Especially the fork

[unborn aurora]

Bro my friends are mad at me for liking the musical part 😭

[jade fossil]

But it adds immersion and it can be funny

Like in movie 1

[jade fossil]

Well yeah ofc, because that's the sane and natural reaction to have lol

[unborn aurora]

Soooo

How does “Mac” know about Wade and the bowling tournament

Do they ever explain that

[unreal plume]

He had a newspaper

at the beginning of the scene

he said the Nicks lost

[unborn aurora]

How tho

Cause he appears with it

[unreal plume]

I guess he just got it from a local newspaper store or something

He just seemed interested in reading the sports section

which includes Wade's defeat at the bowling part

It reminded me of the onion scene in Shrek

[cosmic pike]

I just got done watching the series. Again, keeping my opinion to myself.

[jade fossil]

I'm trying to have an opinion

But it's like so whatever 😭

Will be forgotten very quickly

The biggest saving grace is that it sorta respected my time unlike Sonic Prime

[gilded lake]

Yeah. Whatever else you have to say about Sonic Prime, at least they didn't repeat the same plot beats over and over for multiple episodes

[gilded lake]

Bruh

[delicate elm]

The rock opera was literally the best thing wtf

[rustic fjord]

It got real creative, with the direction especially

[inland valley]

I've been obsessed with the Flames of Disaster.

Weirdly catchy musical, but I take it.

[jade fossil]

Also

[unborn aurora]

They said it was “cringe”

But like… the song is super catchy. I haven’t stopped listening to it

[inland valley]

That's what I'm saying.

[unborn aurora]

Also one of my favorite scenes https://fixupx.com/szylish_guy25/status/1784337979277734379?s=46&t=NzxXkQvD_eB6G-8-XvjXcQ

[cursive mason]

Same

[quartz quail]

Dude is crazy how many people have been annoying about the knuckles series

[inland valley]

In what way?

[unborn aurora]

It’s got some good scenes

Except Ep3

Let’s not talk about that episode ever

[cursive mason]

Wade's mom and knuckles bond was really cute

[unborn aurora]

Except that. We can keep that

[inland valley]

The fight scene nearing the end was good.

[cursive mason]

Ye but it is what it is

[cursive mason]

Yea

[quartz quail]

Idk people i like saying they are

"Violently upset"

Or that the future for the series is bleak

[cursive mason]

How or why

[quartz quail]

And that it is unnacceptable

[cursive mason]

Violently upset is crazy lmao

[inland valley]

About what I expected. I only wanted to make sure.

[unborn aurora]

Tbf the show had multiple writers and directors. They could’ve just kept the movie writers and Jeff but they didn’t

[quartz quail]

Its a shame that it is from people i follow lmao

But whatever

[cursive mason]

Is overreacting but is fine

[delicate elm]

That's just the nature of television

[cursive mason]

You can dislike it and not feel violet about it

[delicate elm]

All shows have multiple writers and directors

[unborn aurora]

See I have to put up with this lol

[cursive mason]

Yuup

[random oar]

Damn, almost like not everyone thinks the show is good, or "fine"

[unborn aurora]

It’s ok at best imo

[delicate elm]

There's little time to actually get production done because everything has to just overlap so thus, multiple directors and writers are needed to ensure that everything can be done on time

[cursive mason]

I liked it a lot

[small token]

im already so tired of hearing about it

and talking about it

and whatever

pfffffffttttttttttt

[delicate elm]

And to ensure the other directors and writers don't get burnt out

[unborn aurora]

People are just annoying when it comes to something they don’t like. Especially Sonic twitter lol

[cursive mason]

Yea

[unborn aurora]

That is a good question https://x.com/joshuatookes/status/1784690813563240766?s=46&t=NzxXkQvD_eB6G-8-XvjXcQ

WHERE DID HE GO?!

Twitter · Apr 28, 2024, 9:07 PM

[cursive mason]

He was never canon

[unborn aurora]

I thought Drone Home was canon to the movie

[small token]

i said this already but im hoping that he’s like, built into tails’ cyclone (if it shows up)

[delicate elm]

Didn't Unit say he was gonna do his own thing basically

[wild bay]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_d1Zhh-PGyM

[cursive mason]

This sucks 🔥

[wild bay]

SF suck

[potent shore]

I watched The Sonic Show's review, And he liked it

https://fxtwitter.com/curly_quills/status/1784690157825712205

In this scene, I think Knuckles was watching one of those spanish soap operas.

[unreal plume]

LOQUENDO

[potent shore]

Imagine if Shadow was sitting there watching one of those spanish soap operas, and a character on it yells, Maria!

[quartz quail]

Wait wasnt this scene that LS Mark said that knuckles was watching a scene where someone says they have a big dick ornsomethjn

[potent shore]

Maybe he translated it, If he knows spanish

[median jacinth]

💀

I'm not hearing it

[unreal plume]

The only thing said here is 'la ultima pasión'

which means the last passion

[median jacinth]

La Ultima Passion

And something something reno

[unreal plume]

it is just Reno's Spanish channel

(Also español pronounced wrongly cause Loquendo doesn't account for the ñ lmao)

[median jacinth]

Ah damn I thought it sounded weird

[quartz quail]

Then what rhe hell LS Mark was talking about

[median jacinth]

Was doubting myself for a sec

[quartz quail]

Excuse me

[unreal plume]

Because it does, the Ñ has a particular way of pronouncing it to ensure it doesn't sound like it does in here.

[inland valley]

Huh.

[rustic fjord]

dammit I lowkey kinda wanna give it a rewatch now...

[inland valley]

Episode 2 stayed funny after I saw clips of it again.

[quartz quail]

Yea ep 2 was pretty good

[unborn aurora]

One more thing, I wish this guy wasn't done so dirty...

And what we know little of him, bro GUN was trying to murder him for simply being associated with Robotink.

That's fucked lol.

Twitter · Apr 28, 2024, 4:20 AM

So long story short

Knuckles did what GUN didn’t

[potent shore]

And those two rogue agents who got sucked into the portal, To who knows where.

[quartz quail]

GUN killing people for being associated with other peoples projects? What of the odds of that

[potent shore]

They been doing that for 50 years. 😉

[unborn aurora]

OK this is seriously bugging me

How tf did the motorcycle shrink to Knuckles’ size

[median jacinth]

Dw abt it

[potent shore]

I didnt noticed the motorcycle being small

[unborn aurora]

Sooooo where do yall think Tom went

[potent shore]

Maybe we'll find out where hes at in Sonic 3

[wild bay]

GUN killed everyone involved with that project isn’t new. Lol.

[timber night]

So did anyone notice the commentators talking about another alien that supposedly appeared in the 1970s in episode 6?

[quartz quail]

Yep

[gilded lake]

His job

[unborn aurora]

Being sheriff of GH out of town 🤨

[median jacinth]

Where the paycheck went

[blissful shell]

https://tenor.com/view/enojado-angry-alien-kill-me-killer-gif-17851069

wait no that was 1978 nevermi-

[jade fossil]

Also funny thing

Wade has a poster of Keanu Reeves from Speed on his wall lol

[unborn aurora]

Fr how can anyone hate this show https://fixupx.com/szylish_guy25/status/1784196638849843642?s=46&t=NzxXkQvD_eB6G-8-XvjXcQ

[cursive mason]

This scene is also my fav one

Some people don't realize how much knux grows as a character in this show

[gilded lake]

This scene makes me love when knuckles is goofy

[blissful shell]

i think movie knuckles strikes a perfect balance between boom knuckles' silliness and frontiers knuckles' cool factor

[gilded lake]

Facts

They found a perfect balance

[blissful shell]

the only thing i hated was the product placement, especially in the first episode

jesus christ, i almost turned it off when sonic started doing a tiktok dance

im glad i didn't tho

it got better

[cursive mason]

It was only like a second tho 😭

[unborn aurora]

https://fixupx.com/galsonic/status/1784628728254943428?s=46&t=NzxXkQvD_eB6G-8-XvjXcQ

I love how he puts his fist down when he enjoys the bread

[quartz quail]

There is a lot of cute knuckles details

[blissful shell]

yea but it was an evil second >:c

the most evilest second, even >:o

[unborn aurora]

New reaction just dropped https://fixupx.com/rogerdatsoldier/status/1784774415311683620?s=46&t=NzxXkQvD_eB6G-8-XvjXcQ
