Knux characterization is close to my personal...the good pretrial😂 I hated how he was one noted for so long, I can relate to his nativity and it bothered me that it was looked at as stupidly anyway He was my favorite until Sticks came along 😅
I don't know how much people are talking about this fact, but I do appreciate how the movies are kinda their own thing using storybites from the games. Not just rehashing the same story from those games.
i think the reason they made knuckles so "simple" during the 2010's was to make shadow the cool badass rival instead. since shadow is like one of the more popular characters.
I felt a bit off when Knuckles’ personality was simplified in the Meta Era. One minute he’s the lone wolf fierce guardian of the Master Emerald and then he became a stereotypical high school jock
If I'm not mistaken, in Sonic Runners there is a cutscene that shows Knuckles explaining where he hides the Master Emerald when he isn't there. Well, a explanation in a mobile game but still a explanation.
You bring up a point in the recent Sonic movie, where he "has his moments of being dumb." I believe one of the reasons why this movie Knuckles was better received isn't because he was stupid, but he was _ignorant_. A very distinct difference. meta-era Knuckles was just a dumbass, while in the Sonic movie he's very clearly a calculated and thorough thinking individual, it's just that he has no idea what the hell is going on due to him dealing with stuff he's never encountered before - being the "jungle-living tribal guy," much like the Amish.
One solution to the Master Emerald problem would be Knuckles taking the Master Emerald with him on Sonic's adventures since he's able to shrink it in Adventure 2,which hasn't been brought up again for some reason.
Huge shoutout to the IDW comics for portraying him, and pretty much everyone excellently! Bummer you didnt mention it. (In particular, i love his short story with Blaze, where they discuss their guardian duties, same as the one where Amy visits Angel Island to return an Echidna relic and spends the day exploring with him.)
Man Not a single thing i disagree with Knuckles is the SHIT Honestly, I don't mind him being a Starfire type character in the movies Being like "I am having...THE FUN" That's endearing to me So as long as he has trailer moments, I'm into him being a tough dunce that means well
I don't know if it makes sense, but I feel that since the Master Emerald was massive in the games, keeping Knuckles on Angel Island keeps him in solitude majorly on that. Knuckles being on his own is interesting to see, while at the same time having him get closer to the crew. Arguably, since the Master Emerald is considerably smaller in size and proportion in the movies, one could say it's easier to have Knuckles both protect the Master Emerald while interacting with others. Plus, the movies can do their own stuff whether it's based on the games, shows, other media, or not. (Unintentionally, from the way I see it, their movie iterations kinda feels like the could be similar to their OVA iterations from how the three are to some degree) Also, I like the Boom iterations being separate from the main iterations but allowed to be their own thing.
Shame Shade was decanonized otherwise she could live with Knuckles as the secondary emerald Guardian, not necessarily romantic possibly maybe siblings or comrades as a fellow Echidna abd a clearly responsible person she would do that especially given the respect she clearly shows to Knickles.
Well, I don't know what to say about this perception of friendship that you had in Adventure, the song where it comes from calls Knuckles a porcupine, keeping a flower from deterioration, or that rap represents him being almost a caveman... But I always felt that Knuckles was not only the guardian of the emerald, but of the Island as well. After all, he knows quite a few traps of the place. I felt that Adventure 2 was a desperate measure. If he managed to rescue Eggman's emerald, he would have to prevent Rouge from taking it. He was simply impulsive. It wasn't until he faced his fears (the ghosts) that he was able to reach the climax, where he faced his greatest fear, women (it sounds funny, but it appears on his character sheet).
Although, I feel that frontiers did wrong, we all know that Sega needs to remove Knuckles from being a character limited to a stone to continue occupying it. So Ian grabbed onto the only thing he had at hand, the Adventure songs, to say that Sonic was envious. For me it's relatively fine, I don't know if I would have confessed it as is, but I accept it. What I do not accept is that Sonic tells him "live a little" and Knuckles does not respond with "I can't, I have a duty to fulfill".. But, even with all this, there is still an alternative for Knuckles to be "free." ", this is thanks to Superstars, where the emerald gives hints to Knux to help Sonic. If they created a story in which the emerald thanks the last guardian by giving him freedom from his duty and Knuckles agrees, but out of habit he returns from time to time to see if everything is in order, you keep a Knuckles who can be serious and with a sense of responsibility that makes his new freedom uncomfortable
I think one thing that didn't help was the attempt to reboot Sonic. The 06 was a mess and the following title was more or less a tidy up. It's lucky they got back on track when they did Generations but then they had to mess up again with that mobile game that instead became the abomination known as Sonic 4. I can only thank Christian Whitehead and Headcannon for making Sonic Mania for Sega. That was the platformer we needed after 23 years.
I hate Sonic Boom! I hate Sonic Boom! I hate Sonic Boom! And I’ll never forgive that bastard for linking it to the main series, by mentioning Sticks at the end of Frontiers. He could have shown Marine the Raccoon some love, but noooo, he had to go and name drop the most annoying character with the weakest design, from that abomination of a sub-series.

What is your favorite thing about Knuckles? How did you feel about him in the 2010s games, or rather, the "meta era"? Let me know!!
where is sonic vs amanda aventurer pt 2, i wanna see sonic exe solo her.
I guess knux was ok from 2010 - 2021, but he has really improved since, and you know, I’m proud of him!
meta era knuckles was the absolute worst.
Knux characterization is close to my personal...the good pretrial😂

Hope one day you’re gonna reach 3K subs, keep up the good work for amazing sonic contents like this one 👍🏻

Great video, Mikey!!
Thank you so much, Emi!!
One solution to the Master Emerald problem would be Knuckles taking the Master Emerald with him on Sonic's adventures since he's able to shrink it in Adventure 2,which hasn't been brought up again for some reason.
Problem is that it is the energy that keeps Angel Island floating so taking it with him would make the Island vulnerable.
Knuckles just longs for adventure! I agree that we need more lore to explain his neglect for the Master Emerald though...
Huge shoutout to the IDW comics for portraying him, and pretty much everyone excellently! Bummer you didnt mention it.

Knuckles has been my favorite since Sonic 3
Man
Not a single thing i disagree with
Knuckles is the SHIT
Honestly, I don't mind him being a Starfire type character in the movies
Being like "I am having...THE FUN"
That's endearing to me
So as long as he has trailer moments, I'm into him being a tough dunce that means well
Sonic R is an example of how at the time the franchise was in a true dark age, a formula game being forced to be a sonic game
4:26 the true dark era of sonic, because all the projects were being canceled and what came out was the little they managed to do

Eh, even if she wasn't decanonized she would be stuck in spin-off limbo along with Babylon Rogues, Marine the Racoon, Mighty, Ray and Team Hooligan
Still my favorite rodent, more knuckles boom that is my favorite video huh huh yeah also Eggman boom spin off would be dope

knuckles should have been made independent from sonic
I hate Sonic Boom! I hate Sonic Boom! I hate Sonic Boom!

Yeah, knuckles is a fraud fight me on that
