@intersonality I thought at first he was talking about Penders from the thumbnail but yes he did talk about modern Sonic Stock renders which I do agree most of them have looked shit since like colors, also thought was impressive not to mention had awful Penders draws him :).
@JordanWilliams_Link7702 Nah bro you lyin through your teeth. Early 2001 to 2008 were the best looks. If the models were higher poly count and had better renders you'd see how good the older models look. Plus modern sonic and his short quill havin self look goofy.
The longer pointy muzzle was like the only discernible way you might be able to say confidently that he could be an echidna… not that he ever really looked like one to begin with
Tbh we really need a redoing of all the sonic models. Still keep them looking like the modern character designs, but with a load of tweaks to make them look good, or at least new looking
@@larryriehl9463 Yeah but if you think about it too much, it looks really weird and thats the only thing that i think makes him look weird. He looks fine otherwise.
honestly yeah, now that you mention it he does look pretty weird now, in his new stock model he looks like he's always "scared", or just... has an uncertain look on his face
i don’t think it’s awful but it’s definitely not perfect. i with they’d make his snout a little longer but i like the narrow eyes and smooth quill to muzzle transition
@@filoz2005Oh no way dude Nintendo fans are CONSTANTLY obsessed with character renders, I saw people bitching that everyone on the Mario Wonder cover got a new render but Yoshi's using an older one- which still looks fucking fine mind you
It makes sense that his forehead looks like an aerodynamic truck because of his gliding feature. In nature, a more aerodynamic head would be a more favorable trait for his animal genome.
I pointed this out years ago. This is the first time I’m hearing someone else bring it up. This new look started with Sonic Heroes. But I gotta say his modern renders do look better than the Sonic Heroes days. His fists have also gotten a bit too big. lol
The picture and thumbnail is so cursed, not only does Knuckles look completely weird, but Sonic looks like he's dying or something, being hooked up to a machine and all...
i kinda like the flatter head, i assume they designed it that way so his dreads would look sleeker while gliding, but i havent given the chance to compare his sonic adventure gliding models with his newer ones
i think boom knuckles looks so much better because he actually has muscles and i feel like it fits his character! ofc i would still remove the weird bandage wraps that all the boom characters have.
It's cause he doesn't chuckle
Unlike Sonic, he dont chuckle.
He would rather look weird and flex his muscles.
He's hard as nails, it aint hard to tell.
@@Johnny300- He breakin em down wether they solid or fraile
Knuckles don’t chuckle
He doesn't chuckle anymore
He was able to say all that without even needing to mention the way Ken Penders draws him.

@@DrawRichaThanYouSonThe thumbnail is from DeviantArt and it's haunted me for years

@@JordanWilliams_Link7702you either haven’t played anything before colors or can’t pick up on subtle details
AND THEY REMOVED HIS ICONIC SHARP SHARK TEETH
Thankfully at least Silver gets to keep them
They get their teeth back in IDW at least. Now I can live knowing Sonic has fangs
Fun fact: echidnas don't actually have teeth
@@alceratops6853 wait REALLY!?
@@jennypagan6120 Yes, it's true. They're basically spiny false anteaters that lay eggs. I'm not kidding
He'd rather flex his muscles
He just a fluffy boy in the movie he looks so huggable
SEGA themselves are confused on whether Knuckles has a mono-eye like Sonic or two eyes usually hidden by a permanent angry brow for sure 😂
I prefer when his eyes are separated, he looks off with a mono-eye
When does he have a monoeye?
@@t.dmattocks6119 they gave him one sometimes in the Archie comics
@@Je-S1001 Ah I see. I never read Archie Sonic so that one missed me.
until the release of the Boom games, i had never noticed Knuckles had seperate eyes, i always thought they were mono, like Sonic's
They need to bring back his iconic pointy nose. He looks so off without it.
he's an echidna and they have beaks. he looks liek a weird hedgehog without the longer snout
Same😢
as an artist i cant help but ALWAYS notice this. drawing him the way i like and then seeing official renders feels like they bashed his skull in 😭
Just like how they made him stupid for the 2010s
I like how his shoes are like a Lego
they're probably supposed to be hot rod engines or something
and he has the nike logo
And rasta colors! 😅😆
The longer pointy muzzle was like the only discernible way you might be able to say confidently that he could be an echidna… not that he ever really looked like one to begin with
He looks like a car
Potato with peanut butter
Waffle.
Like a PT cruiser car
I never thought knuckles would be ever classified as "fluffy" but the movie gave me a strong slap on my face!!
Tbh we really need a redoing of all the sonic models. Still keep them looking like the modern character designs, but with a load of tweaks to make them look good, or at least new looking
I have never in my 17 years of life seen a complain about knuckles design, classic or modern.
i used to think the top of his shoes were lego’s😭
Heres one fun fact that I learned yesterday
Knuckles head design inspiration is actually the yautjas from the predator series
I think he looks fine tbh
I know right
This guy is terminally online, Sonic Twitter loves to find the tiniest shit to bitch about for two days and then find something else to whine over
@@aortaplatinumthen why’d you watch? If you want him to stop saying this stuff then don’t give him the attention.
@@justanormalguy563 How could someone not be intrigued by that video title
@@aortaplatinumHow dare someone share an opinion on the internet that isn't your own
DONT TALK ABOUT MY BOY KNUCKLES LIKE THAT
Looks fine to me other than his mouth is NEVER centred
None of the Sonic characters' mouths are centered except for Tails and Amy.
@@larryriehl9463 Yeah but if you think about it too much, it looks really weird and thats the only thing that i think makes him look weird. He looks fine otherwise.
@@eseehcrosicco Knuckles and Shadow are some of my favorite characters. Shadow gives off a dark aura and Knuckles strangely brings out gangsta energy.
Unpopular opinion: large Knuckles from boom is almost perfect for a guy like him
he was in one of those hydraulic press videos
They took knuckle head to a whole new level
Himbo Knuckles fixed this
Plus the pointy snout makes him look a smidge bit more like an echidna
he looks fine
Now wtf
He got hit on the head by a brick.
where him brain go 🥺
No
Insecure
"Oh yes! I love sega's Adventure the Hedgehog!"
honestly yeah, now that you mention it he does look pretty weird now, in his new stock model he looks like he's always "scared", or just... has an uncertain look on his face
i don’t think it’s awful but it’s definitely not perfect. i with they’d make his snout a little longer but i like the narrow eyes and smooth quill to muzzle transition
The real question is why he have lego on his shoes
Thought this was LS Marks at first.
He got the Ratchet treatment
His head is more aerodynamic so he can glide more easily
Knuckles looks like a dog version came from zoo
I thought this was gonna be a Ken Penders video
Kudos for making this video and taking zero cheap shots at my boy, Boom Knuckles
Don't even get started on the version from Sonic R
Cant be a sonic fan without complaining on the most smallest details
Nit all sonic fans complaining on nost snalles details or anything at all
Small details = what makes the character visually appealing and work from angles and perspectives
@@filoz2005Oh no way dude Nintendo fans are CONSTANTLY obsessed with character renders, I saw people bitching that everyone on the Mario Wonder cover got a new render but Yoshi's using an older one- which still looks fucking fine mind you
@@aortaplatinumyea I saw a video about that. I thought he was joking
@@Nic_2751small detail = his forehead. If he looks like knuckles then it's fine.
Damn.that shit really hurt bruh
Bro it’s the flat head for me
Don't talk about my boi knuckles
fighting freak knuckles
They took away his snoot 😢
Not his snoot 😭
Not to mention 06 knuckles
To be fair being a movie budget with a new realistic style is certainly a glowup
Atleast he doesn't look like real echidnas
I love these games…and even I’m stepping in to say.
“It’s not that Deep Bro.”
Another famous person lost to drugs...
My honest reaction:
Wait people thought he looks freaky?
It’s an interesting take but I’m fine with how he looks.
At least he still looks good in the mania animation.
He looks fine.
That picture for sonic on a hospital bed while knuckles is crying tho
Hell nah I remember that grim knuckles at the hospital meme
The aussie switch up had me confused
"Not from a design standpoint" also him complaining his modern design
Knuckles be like - is somebody gonna match my freak 😢
He looks the same
Bro just roasted him😂
It makes sense that his forehead looks like an aerodynamic truck because of his gliding feature.
In nature, a more aerodynamic head would be a more favorable trait for his animal genome.
SplashDash is secretly one of Dr. Eggman’s many Alternative TH-cam Channels!
I like like people complain when most of time people don't even notice this until this video lol
"Why does Knuckles look like a freak?"
Well that entire picture is freaky--oh you mean his actual design.
I genuinely don’t know what you’re talking about his design look amazing.
I'm not saying I disagree, but after beeing in the SonicTheHedgejerk subreddit, this is pretty funny.
I can’t believe they flattened his one polygon
snapcube dub core
Yep! He also sometimes has oven mitt hands and sometimes doesn't! 😅
I pointed this out years ago.
This is the first time I’m hearing someone else bring it up.
This new look started with Sonic Heroes.
But I gotta say his modern renders do look better than the Sonic Heroes days.
His fists have also gotten a bit too big. lol
bro got that predator built head
The picture and thumbnail is so cursed, not only does Knuckles look completely weird, but Sonic looks like he's dying or something, being hooked up to a machine and all...
wish we get an adventure 3 and have the sa2 models but with a bit more detail
They removed his frontal lobe 💀
Nah this knuckles is the best design
To cover he must wear the Jamaican pharmacist hat
When I saw his walking animation in superstars I was so surprised why he looks like an AI 💀
You sound like LS Mark. Hmmm interesting… 🤔
EXCUSE ME?!!?!?!?!
You can’t hide LSmark
i wish his sharp teeth were still a thing, at least most people still draw him with sharp teeth through fanart
Guess he really not gonna chuckle this time
They had made his head more flat and pointy so he could be more aerodynamic while gliding
An aerodynamic truck is crazy 😅
Yo that's me 😮
He looks fine, whats is bro yapping about?
i kinda like the flatter head, i assume they designed it that way so his dreads would look sleeker while gliding, but i havent given the chance to compare his sonic adventure gliding models with his newer ones
Also, with the current model, Knuckles' hands and feet are absolutely ginormous when they really shouldn't be.
Dose anyone think this guy sound like LS mark
He looks fine
SONIC HOW DO I JUJU ON THAT BEAT
I'm never unseeing this
I never really noticed it but damn movie Knuckles really does look good
knuckles is knuckles
It's just that his brain is smaller since Sonic boom
He got bred into being like a pug so many times
i think boom knuckles looks so much better because he actually has muscles and i feel like it fits his character! ofc i would still remove the weird bandage wraps that all the boom characters have.
What is with the first image/the thumbnail??
Unlike sonic he doesn’t chuckle
He’d rather flex his flat head
Why is knuckles dumb now?! In sonic 3 he gets tricked, sure, But he then realises he's been tricked, now he's just stupid
He's the fighting freak Knuckles afterall
I knew something was kind off about knuckles design but I couldn’t put my finger on it 😂
Chip: I'm moving out of here... I am done nope I'm not coming back I'm packing my stuff and my toy! GOODBYE! *Close the door*
And this is why the Frontiers promotial animation is peak Knuckles
