on one hand im super upset knuckles isn't in the upcoming riders arc, because he would've definately showed up. he always does for these events in the games, simply because he enjoys it and likes hanging out with sonic and tails
(yet the idw ocs are included 🙃)
but on the other hand... i dont want idw to further assassinate knuckles' character 😭
...sonic and the others will still probably shit talk him behind his back though, i won't be surprised if they do :/
knuckles has been done so dirty in the comic, and with his exclusion in this riders arc, it REALLY shows more than ever
It's the IDW dilemma: do you get mad that your fave canon characters get the shaft, or do you sigh in relief that they will be spared from the terrible writing?
(technically, his absence is already bad writing. I'm sure he wasn't included because huehuehue Knuckles is super serious and obsessed with Angel Island and he doesn't know what fun is 🙃)
Personally at this point I'm in the latter camper. I hope they get to the point where not even Sonic appears anymore. Just have entire issues of Whisper and Tangle kissing and Surge and Kit doing Jojo poses! Everyone will be happy!
Out of Sonic's three friends in Frontiers, Knuckles was the only one handled fairly well in the base game of Frontiers. Besides his arc making no sense (he's left his island before lol) his characterization was solid in my opinion.
Meanwhile Tails is a puppet used to vent grivances against his character from the 2010s (even though ironically he does more in Forces than in base game Frontiers. Why is Tails saying this? He wouldn't say this, someone who is criticizing his character would say this)
and Amy got the life sucked out of her. She's boring at best and toxic at worst (I seriously hate the moment when she guilt trips Sonic, why did this need to happen. It's especially awful because she's aware of how awful it is being trapped, yet doesn't care about Tails or Sonic's concern for him)
Idk everyone praises this game as "fixing the characters and putting them back on track" but I don't really see it.
