WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE THESE ARENT MY SONS

[sophfandoms53]

I’m reading through the DuckTales pitch files and I’m racking my brain rn tryna figure out how Beakley and Webby just straight up didn’t exist for awhile and how June (specifically for some reason) was originally the 4th kid who found out she was related to Scrooge (though it’s not treated like a big twist, sounds like something she just knows) while also still being Daisy’s niece and then this entire character was scrapped but this backstory somehow ended up being Webby’s and Webby ended up being April instead with May and June as her clones I-

It’s a lot LMAO

Finished the Knuckles Show and uhhhhhhhhhh it’s certainly a show.

There’s good stuff buried in every episode especially where Knuckles is concerned. They set up a very interesting arc for him and just didn’t really explore much with it. After the first episode Knuckles is shoved to the side CONSTANTLY and is made the B plot more often than he should be as the TITULAR character.

Every criticism that said Wade takes over the show is correct.

After episode 1, Wade takes over every A plot and Knuckles is only ever in the B plot that has either minimal time focused on him or he’s just straight up not around (episode 4 is the worst offender here but it’s an issue from eps2-6). They actively write Knuckles out of the plot constantly and it’s very frustrating.

If you like Wade and enjoy his personal journey about his family then this’ll be fine. I, for one, thought it was interesting on its own but 100% it has no reason to be here in a SONIC MOVIE KNUCKLES spin off show. This is not Knuckles’ show. It’s Wade’s and that’s the biggest let down.

Knuckles IS there but that’s it, he’s just THERE.

And it sucks because Movie!Knuckles himself is very well crafted and very entertaining and engaging to watch. The show is at its strongest when it’s about Knuckles and spending time with him. Episode 1 is the only episode that it feels like what it was advertised as - the Knuckles show.

Sonic, Tails, and Maddie only show up for the first episode and never come back. Which is wild because part of the plot is Maddie has grounded Knuckles and he sneaks out but there’s never any consequences shown once he gets home nor do we see how anyone reacted once they noticed Knuckles is gone. These three are just abandoned after episode 1.

Tails has like 6 or 7 lines, my boy deserves sm better LMAOO

A big highlight, however, I LOVED Sonic in this one episode. The way you can see and FEEL how he’s grown from movie to movie and in this first episode is very well done. He’s truly becoming the Sonic I know and when he and Knuckles had their conversation on the roof where he tries to help Knuckles see the beauty in Green Hills, his home - that entire scene was PURE Sonic’s golden heart on display. He does still have his jokes that remind you Ben Schwartz is his actor and that he’s a silly kid but he IS still Sonic at his core and I loved that. It made me very sad we didn’t get to see more of him but I appreciated seeing Sonic handled this way. It makes me very eager to see how movie 3 goes about him considering everything Shadow brings to the table and how different of a threat he’s gonna be for Sonic.

Episode 2 is alright but GOOD LORD episodes 3-5 are such a waste of time. There’s good sprinkled in them in isolation but as full blown episodes, a waste. You can skip most of what’s happened and be fine.

The big climax fight in the finale just HAPPENS. The plot armor literally comes bursting through the wall and yanks Knuckles out of the plot for way too long and we only get TRUE and INCREDIBLE Movie Knuckles action (his fire fists which were insane btw) in the last 5 minutes and it only lasted like 2 of those 5 minutes.

Overall, it’s not entirely unwatchable but it’s not worth a majority of people’s time. You don’t need this for movie 3 so if you wanna skip it - I’d recommend that. If you really watch though, I’d only say watch the first episode and the finale and just google the context for what’s in between bc eps 2-5 are total slogs after a while.

If you like silly dumb fun - this is the show for you. But it’s not the show many Sonic fans may have wanted or expected.

I’m not angry or anything like many people have been. It’s not worth getting angry over. I’m moreso just disappointed because I can see a good show about Knuckles hidden in there. They just opted to give more time into Wade for whatever reason.

Just an overall let down imo.

Knuckles deserved better❤️

[sophfandoms53]

Who on the movie crew honestly thought people cared enough about Wade to have him be the center of the KNUCKLES show

[sophfandoms53]

so do y’all just like seeing Striker suffer bc

Striker slowly losing his sanity because no one in this damn show can take anything seriously is so funny to me im sorry😭

”I can tease nothing. No, seriously. I don't even know what's gonna happen in it. No, I'm joking. I can tell you that it's super exciting. I can tell you that it really does get deeper into the universe of Sonic. I think 3 ’s probably the one for all the real diehard Sonic fans . They're gonna get all of those Easter eggs in it.” Idris Elba

Thinking about how desperately Striker wants to be a main player, not a comic relief or expendable side character or a background npc, or one off villain. How he wants to be someone the upper circles of hell know, someone talked about with respect. No one is there to hype him up, so he hypes himself up. Builds statues of himself in his own lair, puts on airs of someone much more important than he actually is, while seething about the fact that no one cares about imps. Imps are either servants or clowns, and Striker is desperate to not be either.

But he is. He tells himself that he is on a great crusade against the nobility, while in actually he is funded and ordered around by a noble. He wants to be someone the Goetias fear, while in reality Stella and Andrealphus treat the whole assassination as a joke. They are giggling and drinking in their mansion, treating the whole thing like a cruel prank of no particular weight, ordering their tool to stop when the prank no longer amuses them. Even Stolas treated the whole thing as a mild inconvinience, before Striker started carving him up, at which point it turned more into an offence. That is the truth of Striker’s great crusade.

I don’t think Striker is some kind of an antihero, but there is something sympathetic in his situation. Because he is an imp, he will never even be allowed to be a serious villain. Whatever tragedy kickstarted his spiral of hate, it will never be allowed to truly blossom into true respectable villainy. Yes, he is unpleasant and willing to kill his fellow imps for an advantage, but in the eyes of the Goetia….he will never be nothing more than a clown.

And I do think that the absolute main difference between Blitz and Striker is not actually that Blitz is willing and desperate to have some kind of positive interpersonal relationships. It’s that while the idea of being laughed and disrespected is a huge chip on Blitz shoulder, for Striker the idea of being laughed and disrespected is so traumatizing, so destroying, that he will destroy himself in that suicidal quest to be feared and respected by the nobility.
