Day and Night and Pursuit of Happiness came out over a decade ago and you've never heard of Kid Cudi before Knuckles???

I wasn't interested in the Knuckles series exactly because I expected it to be something like this, but finding out just how unfocused it was still hurts. I would have been much more interested in a short series about Sonic, Tails and Knuckles hanging out like the end of Sonic 2, or a series about Sonic and Donut Lord spending time together outside of the world-ending threats of each movie. Having GUN get fleshed out a bit is a nice step, but it's like the step of a human in the footprint of a T-Rex, insignificant.

Do you know deh Wade?

at least on tha SNES version u can tell if it's a poisonous mushroom easily on there and tbh it felt way easier to play on tha All Stars version

so claiming this is the worst thing from the Sonic franchise? Sonic Boom exists, just saying

My first exposure to Metroid was through Super Metroid. I knew nothing about the series till my older sibling rented an SNES and Super Metroid from Blockbuster, and I instantly fell in love, even though they never let me play it cause I was too young or something. Just watching it was mesmerizing. Then I got a hold of an old issue of Nintendo Power that had a complete walkthrough + maps of NES Metroid and I was like Holy crap, there was one for the NES? And it's all the same areas as Super Metroid! I then randomly found a copy of the game, still sealed and complete in box, at a KBtoys for, I think, $5? Weirdly it was like a greatest hits version or something that had a yellow box with the art from Metroid II on it, rather than the original gray box. I snapped it up and played it obsessively on my NES. From my perspective it felt like an NES demake of Super Metroid since I was exposed to them in reverse, and I loved it. Of course I also played the whole game with my Nintendo Power maps in my lap. To this day I still have that same NES, same Metroid cart, and that same Nintendo power, and I still pull them out and set them up occasionally. Good times.

i think an issue is, and i fully understand why this they did this, is that the franchsie is catered more to kids to sell toys, rather than the people who actually grew up with sonic on a different note, wonder if the generations shadodow game is meant to promote sonic 3

the biggest missed opportunity was the 2 agent's actual motive...the buyer just wants indirect revenge since knuckles had nothing to do with what happened to him... but the woman wanted to protect earth because sonic, tails, knuckles all shed quils that can all power super weapons. even if the trio are all heroes, its VERY reasonable for a human to want them captured or at least less reckless. the villians are fully in the right but their motive is ever mentioned in a backhanded one liner and its never mentioned again

how did you not mention that the bounty hunter is half of the mighty boosh

i just dont understand how they keet getting worse. 1 was good enough for what it was. 2 had a terrible story but the character interactions between sonic,tails, knuckles was pretty solid and jim carry being jim carry was welcomed....but knuckles had nothing going for it beyond the subtle references....it wasn't even his show. just a weaker version of the original movie i will say though, as someone with jewish family, as absolutely ridiculous as episode 3 was and bs the movie even had time foe that the completely dysfunctional friday night family dinners was weirdly accurate lol

I loved episode 4 and how how absolutely ridiculous it was.

Watched the first episode and said, I’ll wait for a Johnny video. Thank you for your service, Johnny. PS. Wippleman is better.

Thank you I’m so glad somebody feels the same way about this show, I had to force myself to watch this show and was astounded by how unbelievably bad it was. I thought the first 2 movies were great but this was extremely disappointing

Elliot's hair is so great

14:30 music?

John’s thoughts on the iphone version “Look how they massacred by boy”

26:48

I didn't make it through 15 minutes of the first episode

Besides the awful dinner scene I actually enjoyed Wanda as a character. Is she a cheap way to make us like Wade more? yes but I was amused by her being obnoxious. Edi certainly could've have toned down her performance by not continuously mugging the camera. Also why is the antagonist called the Buyer? shouldn't he be called the Seller?

Waiting is never an issue John. Life's got a funny way of roadblocking us but it makes the goal that much sweeter dude.

I just finally saw the first episode with my wife yesterday. She likes the movies, fell asleep on this and ik ill never get ti episode 2

Incineror killed EVERYONE in the audience with that explosion, for sure!

What kind of mass effect andromeda merch do you think came in that loot crate?

THE GAME BOY DOSENT HAVE SHOLDER Butten

I remember more than a decade ago, the amount of optimism that I felt for Sonic Team as I was graced with unleashed, colors, and generations was dissipated with Lost World & Forces. So I actually didn't even bother picking up Frontiers until now. The whole journey felt like visiting an old childhood friend and I'm glad to say I feel some of that optimism again. The best part was definitely the island exploring, or what I would call "adventure zones" like Mystic Ruins in SA 1. This format was surprisingly refreshing and wouldn't mind the actual "stage" gameplay come in bite sizes like the cyber space.

This is the Wade.. and Knuckles show & Knuckles. Knuckles when you think about it is extremely hard to write as character due to no one wanting him to be dumb anymore. Also this is a different take on his character. Majority of his development either never happened or has to have Sonic in the mix. He can't go hunting for the Chaos Emeralds to form the Master Emerald just yet but I believe showed more of him in the modern take as much as possible. Knowing how Hollywood wants things to be a taste and test then whole, Knuckles will be more fleshed out latter as a Treasure Hunter.

Honestly, I can understand all of the complaints, but I've kind of made peace with how they're doing this franchise so I wasn't really surprised by most of it. So I actually enjoyed it for what it was (mostly). And yeah, I think 10-year-old, much less critical, more easily entertained me would've thought it was freakin' awesome. I *was* surprised that Knuckles beat Iblis and got the Flames of Disaster (and all we got was that stupid high school play reenactment); when I saw the fire fists in the trailer I thought it was the Maximum Heat Knuckles Attack from SA1. But yeah, a Knuckles & Wendy show would've been awesome!

I believe this repeats the same mistake Sonic X committed where too much focus was put on Chris Throrndyke. Everyone's favorite "Sonic" character obv

I don't want to be "That guy" but the exact thing Sonic 1 and 2 movies haters were worried what the film/tv series would devovle into is the exact thing Knuckles ended up being. Sure, Paramount did good for redesigning Sonic. Sure, the movie wasn't terrible or unwatchable. But at the end of the day both films still utterly lack a lot of Sonic's core identity and unqiue setting and instead settled for some generic "CGI fish out of water animal in the real world" tripe. And because of the positive appeal both films had, it's sadly going to stay that way. Knuckles wasn't a devolution or a wrong turn. It's literally staying the course Paramount saw fans were okay with at least inititally.

The most unrealistic thing about this game is ghost hunters making money from ghost hunting. We do not make money from it and we look down on those who actually charge for investigations.

which dante is more likely to say the n word?

From everything I've heard from this video, I'm extremely happy to say I had never even heard this existed until now. Good to know the entire series is a letdown.

So glad I only watched episode one

Never heard a kid cudi song?? 🤔

If they were to make a series for Tails, it'd make sense for them to introduce Cream the Rabbit.

Shadow being a wholesome brother-in-law, Omachao being a wanted fugitive, and Blaze wanting verification as to whether or not you're a war criminal before dating her, were not on my bingo board for a Sonic Visual Novel but here we are.

Definite potential but next time could we have a show about Knuckles? Episodes with Knuckles in the spotlight, imagine!

Yellow turban rebellion. I loved DW2. My 1st ps2 game as well. It was amazing to see all those characters on screen. PS1 couldn’t do that & I was enamored

3:54 😂

I think shadow needs to be rewritten and then remade tbh....

the phrase "comedy double act on the knuckles tv series played by kid cudi and ellie taylor" is just so funny to me

WADE WIPPLE: ENTER THE WIPPLEVERSE COMING 2025

Not Gonna Lie After Watching This, I'm Kinda Glad I Skipped Out On "Knuckles".

we look a lot alike lol

I am content in my headcannon that wade was the main character so the show could be AND knuckles

I Had a fake yugioh card that was called witch of the forest in arabic but had a picture of orochimaru XD

I haven't even watched it but as soon as you said "& Knuckles" I died for 5 minutes of laughter. Love you Johnny~!

3:08 ah yes, a fellow Heart of Fire (Julius Belmont) Theme enjoyer
