Knuckles Show Thoughts
This is just an overview but here we go. Spoilers ahead.
Overall a fun experience. I cringed so much during this show though lol
Really liked all the ex-GUN bad guys 😈
Genuinely enjoyed the first two episodes for the most part—particularly the evil humans trying to get Knuckles, and Knuckles' interactions with the other Wachowskis.
We didn't get enough of the Wachowskis 🥲
Pachacamac—WHAT THE HECK. I mean it was funny in principle, but also so weird??? I didn't know how to feel about that 😅 I'm just gonna say that Knuckles was meditating and that's what he experienced, and Wade's vision was a fever dream.
I loved Wade's mission-impossible vision of himself that was hilarious and awesome 😂 Honestly that whole episode was just fun and cool.
The writing quality really dropped in the third and fourth episodes. They felt like filler and much more amateur in terms of acting direction and pacing. It felt like the human actors were asked to improv, but they were given way too little direction within which to improv, and then their stuff wasn't cut or edited through enough afterwards. The pacing was very off as a result, especially in the third one. The dinner was way too long.
KNUCKLES GLIDING WAS COOL
Genuinely hated Wade's sister for the entirety of the 3rd episode. However, I think a lot of her character's despicableness was again a symptom of too much improv and not enough thinking through her character's behavior in advance by the writers.
I totally thought Wade's sister was gonna end up having lied about her position in the FBI, or was gonna end up being a janitor there or something, because she wanted to impress her family and suffers from the same self-doubt Wade does. I think that actually would have been way cooler for her character growth.
The one part I truly loved in the 3rd episode was the Jewish folk music during the epic fight around the candles! :D That was by far the best part of the episode. Making Wade Jewish was a neat idea.
Wade's mom really grew on me by the end. I like her a lot.
Overall I really enjoyed the last two episodes. THE BAD GUY LORE WAS SO INTERESTING. It was really cool worldbuilding! I wish we could have gotten more of that. The bad guys talking to each other about their motivations relating to GUN was one of the neatest parts of the series and it lasted for about 5 minutes.
I really liked hating Wade's dad (as I was supposed to). I was very suspicious of him from the beginning and honestly did not want him to have a redemption arc, and I was not disappointed. Westley my beloved he was fantastic.
LOVED how Knuckles secretly knew about the bad guys' plan to have Wade betray him through using Wade having him use his earpods that was so genius and made me happy
The rings becoming an endless loop void thing was cool.
Knuckles' fire abilities weren't nearly as cool to me as they probably were supposed to be. I get they were a reference which makes it better, but it changes things a lot in this universe lore-wise and I'm not sure I like that.
The ending was cool, but it felt rushed. Wish we could have seen that cool battle mec for longer, and that guy could have been a direct opponent for longer. And Knuckles passing out was angsty and dramatic! But it felt like that moment deserved a lot more time.
KNUCKLES' ARC WAS NOT FINISHED. Whyyyyyy did we not get a scene at the end where Maddie, Sonic, and Tails are frantically looking for Knuckles and they're super worried about him?? Knuckles should have come back to them all freaking out that they can't find him anywhere and it's been like THREE DAYS, and he goes up to Maddie and humbly explains to her where he's been (helping Wade) and that he's sorry he's left, but that he realized that he had somewhere to return to. That he has a home. That the Wachowskis are his new home. And he is sorry; he will go back to being grounded. And there should have been a sweet sibling moment and momma moment between them all where they hug or something ahhhh. Again, WHY did we not get this??? I must write a scene to fix it.
More about the previous point because I'm not done. In the first Sonic film, the climax of Sonic's arc was when Tom said "he was my friend", but the actual completion of that arc was when Tom and Maddie invited him to live with them and be their kid. With Knuckles, we only got the climax of his arc (Wade saying he had a home) and not the conclusion (returning to his family and home). We were cheated!
WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO THE GUY KICKED ONTO THE MUSHROOM PLANET IN EP. 1?

My biggest gripe with the Knuckles show (among other things) was that there was no resolution regarding Maddie grounding Knuckles and him sneaking out. Maybe that'll be addressed in Sonic 3, but like? We never cut back to Maddie, Sonic and Tails and questioning where the hell Knuckles is? For a series about Knuckles being supposed to learn to accept Earth as his home, it would've been way more impactful if he had been with the people who've already accepted him into said home.
Yes!!! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, KNUCKLES' ARC WAS NOT FINISHED.
Whyyyyyy did we not get a scene at the end where Maddie, Sonic, and Tails are frantically looking for Knuckles and they're super worried about him?? Knuckles should have come back to them all freaking out that they can't find him anywhere and it's been like THREE DAYS, and he goes up to a very-angry-but-mostly-worried Maddie and humbly explains to her where he's been and that he's sorry he's left, but that he realized that he had somewhere to return to. That he has a home. That the Wachowskis are his new home. And he is sorry; he will go back to being grounded. And there should have been a sweet sibling + momma moment between them all where they hug or something. That was such a basic missed opportunity it hurts my soul.
In the first Sonic film, the climax of Sonic's arc was when Tom said "he was my friend", but the actual completion of that arc was when Tom and Maddie invited him to live with them and be their kid. With Knuckles, we only got the climax of his arc where he realizes he has a home, and not the conclusion where he returns to said family and home. (Plus the fact that his family wasn’t even with him when he made that realization???? It doesn’t make any sense)
We were cheated. Another reason why the show should have been based in Green Hills and centered on the Wachowskis as the main plot. It would have been so much better.

You know what the knuckles show SHOULD have been??
A slice of life series that took place entirely in Greenhills that focused on Knuckles, Sonic, Tails, and Maddie and their growing family relationship as they try to understand one another and love one another. Wade maybe could have been there, but only because he’s training with Knuckles to be a better deputy and nothing else. He’s not the star, the WACHOWSKIS are the star. As they always should be.

Must admit that one thing that changed the way I see fandom discourse is realizing that a lot of fandom is just… playing with dolls. We're playing with dolls. Shipping? Playing with dolls. AUs? Dolls. Darkfic? Dolls.
Lotta people very agitated about the other kids playing with dolls wrong.

Just finished the Knuckles series. It definitely could have been improved in places, and there was a lot of filler right in the middle of the series, as well as missed opportunities throughout, but my final verdict is that I had a good time. :)
