Knuckles Show Doesn't Have Enough Knuckles, Say Sonic Fans
The Knuckles series is out now on Paramount+, and some viewers have already made their way through all six episodes. However, few are impressed, as Sonic fans complain that Knuckles barely features in his own show.
On the whole, the fanbase seems to be disappointed in the spin-off, feeling that it fails to live up to the Sonic movies. The most common complaint is that the show prioritises human characters over the Sonic gang - not exactly what viewers were after in a show about the fan-favourite echidna.
If you can't watch Knuckles yet, you're not alone. While it dropped on Paramount+ today in North America, everyone else has to wait until tomorrow.
This is a complaint that was also raised in some of the more negative reviews of the show, with critics warning that fans of the games would be disappointed. That's certainly seemed to pan out online, with some going as far as saying that Knuckles is one of the worst Sonic adaptations out there - and we've had some stinkers over the years.
Despite the show being called Knuckles, fans feel that it spends way too much time on Wade, a human character. This focus on the human friends of the Sonic gang was a complaint with the two films too, although that was to a much lesser extent.
Even putting this issue aside, many just feel that the show's quality is a huge step down from the movies as a whole. It looks like this could be Paramount's first miss with its Sonic spin-offs if the reviews stay like this when it drops internationally this Saturday. Or at least, this is its first miss since the infamous ugly Sonic design it was originally going with.
If you want to check it out for yourself, Knuckles is out on Paramount+ now in North America. Everyone else will get it tomorrow, April 27, with all six episodes dropping at once.
