Toby Ascher shares some more information concerned the Knuckles series, Sonic 3, and the plans for SCU expansion. He explains how Knuckles will help SCU branch out and create a new interpretation of Sonic lore.
SPOILERS AHEAD!
Down below are some of the main points in Toby’s interview with Screenrant (2024):
Sonic's actions from the first and second film directly influence Knuckles' experiences with G.U.N.
The quills and scattered rings from Sonic and Knuckles have had a major effect on the world and Guardian Units of Nations' personnel.
Toby explains that key events in the first film build in top of one another and everything moving forward, “how the next entity in the franchise is affected from the last entity” as he puts it. The example he used was how both Sonic and Dr. Robotnik’s fight in San Francisco inspired the creation of Guardian Units of the Nation (G.U.N.).
He reiterates that G.U.N.’s purpose in SCU is to fight aliens and to protect the humans. They’re very weary of Sonic and Co. and fight fire with fire.
G.U.N.’s weapons are powered by rings and quills that Sonic and Knuckles leave behind. The Knuckles series is meant to explain how G.U.N. agents traveled the world to pick up quills and rings left behind, as well as how they’re turned into weapons.
The device that Kid Cudi’s character wears (the mech fists) is strictly powered by Knuckles’ quill. This device matches the strength and power that Knuckles has.
The portal that Agent Mason and Agent Willoughby travel through is the result of a Ring Gun, a device that teleports them everywhere from fallen rings and captures people against their will.
The questions that are asked for each movie/spin-off is, “if this event happened in the previous movie, what would be the consequences of that? How would the world change?”
Sonic and Co. will have to respond to G.U.N.’s desire to protect the planet for extraterrestrial life later down the road. The Knuckles series will show G.U.N.’s strength and allies that they’ve gained along the way.
Ascher was inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which uses every movie and show to build towards a connecting team-up event. He’s very excited to do some world building for SCU.
I hardly see any news on Ukraine or Palestine anymore. Don't become complicit or desensitized to these injustices.
I know logging on to talk about your favorite character or media and distract yourself from work or life can be nice, but that's a privilege many do not have. It doesn't take much to spend some time educating yourself and donating if you can.
Keep talking, boycotting, and calling for a ceasefire!
