There's Something About Knuckles (Part 2)

  • Knuckles the Echidna is struggling with the pressure of being the guy, the hero, the Sonic the Hedgehog replacement. He’s treating his friends like rubbish, because he’s scared. When it’s no longer Sonic AND Knuckles, and just Knux by himself… well, it becomes Sonic vs Knuckles… at least in the dreadlocked tough guy’s head.
    At least Tails is here to try and give The Red Dude a bit of a pep talk. After all, what are friends for? And that pep talk is necessary, because there’s a massive Sonic boom coming in the form of a ginormous kaiju. So, unless Mr. Guardian can become Super Knuckles, and eliminate the Sonic prime threat, this civilisation is done for. There’s Something About Knuckles… and that something better be courage.

    I like the development of Knuckles in the episode because it shows the inner parts of the character. It shows a more deeper personality. He is draconian towards his duty and treats his teammates harshly but is also hurt on the inside. His best friend is gone. He has responsibility that he isn't prepared to weigh down on put on his back and some of his allies dont see him as a leader. He is scared that if he doesn't get strong enough he will fail sonic in protecting the city he sworn to protect

    The moment Tails said "What are friends for?", my suspicions were confirmed. I believe 'other' Tails is manipulating Knuckles to be violent and it will inadvertently, result in the death of his companions.
    I also wonder if the Amy in the battlemech is that world's version of the character, or if she is the 'other' Amy.

    "What are friends for?"
    Tails starts out by comforting the character and offering "solutions", one that would/could result in Sonic's death
    Character in question idolizes Sonic and has crippling self doubt.
    Tails knows a secret about that world's Sonic that isn't revealed to the character until a crucial moment
    Seeing the hints that this isn't this world's Tails really helps you see what SH Tails is looking for. Extremes. An Amy who's extremely lovesick but is constantly heartbroken. A Knuckles that takes being tough too far to hide fear. Tails himself takes the best friend role to an extreme.

    Being a knuckles enthusiast, I already expected him to be mean because he's scared of failing the city. But the way it was presented is kinda awesome though. I also realized the reoccurring plot of Tails somehow getting his victim to kill their dimension's Sonic. I'm excited to see how this will go.

    Sonic and Tails leaving to kill that monster, only tails returning with the suit, the black and white art style and this creepy piano music in the background.
    I wonder if Tails is the one to blame that Sonic is inside that monster.
    I mean, it is not like they would have gone alone, the others sure would have come along if they knew. But I am guessing that Tails convinced him to go alone. Maybe he saw Sonic as an imposter again and stabbed him in the back, like he did in Amy's world.

    • @viveyen1871
      @viveyen1871 Před rokem +2

      Also I love how Knuckles is showed in this season. Like in Sonic forces, Knuckles is not being a good leader, bc he can't handle the pressure. He wants his friends to work hard to protect the people bc he doesn't want anyone to die anymore. Since Sonic's death he probably worked very hard, so hard that he forgot that his friends need breaks too.
      I guess Knuckles is slowly going crazy and none of his friends notice that, except Tails, who could use it for his plans to destroy this world like he did with Amy's.
      Being under pressure the whole time can make people do things they never would have wanted and I bet that's going to happen in the next episode.
      I bet they could still save Sonic, but Tails wants him dead bc he knows too much about him and his plans.

  • @fine_ol_chap
    @fine_ol_chap Před rokem +917

    Seeing how Knuckles actually feels about being the leader made me go back to watch part 1. One thing I took notice was Amy's first expressions towards Knuckles after the battle that made me think she's more angry than disappointed at Knuckles' late appearance. This could just be my little theory, but when the blue suit was brought back after Sonic's defeat, the story might've gotten mixed up somehow with Tails feeling guilt over not being able to do anything to save him, and since it was tasked with Knuckles to take over the blue suit (I suspect it had to be him because he originally had the 2nd strongest mech), Amy might've had some strong hate towards him because, as Knuckles said to himself, he was jealous and wanted to try being leader for once than being muscle. Out of this statement, Amy probably knew that's what he wanted, and since it was practically handed to him on a silver platter after Sonic's supposed death, she blames Knuckles for Sonic's death. To add more because of this possible fuming hate for Knuckles, she strongly suggests that he's no leader because he is no Sonic, which means she believes he didn't deserve the placement for how bad of a leader she thinks he is. Even Knuckles understands he's not a good leader because of how rough he can be to everyone. Practically ordering them to do better because he knows he's not a good leader, and he still needs their help to fight even if he doesn't show it, because he wants to be seen as a strong leader rather than a scared one. He has to put on a strong act in order to protect everyone because since he is now the current leader, he is stuck with it, even if he truly believes he is not cut-out for it anymore.

    And from what I see, these characters he's looking for are broken inside, needing Sonic by their side.
    Amy who was obsessed with being with Sonic and now turned into a monster that Mad Tails turned, and now he will go for Knuckles, who is feeling weak, feeling like a lousy leader since his best friend Sonic is gone.
    Who will be the next victim of Mad Tails after Knuckles?

    After seeing the "there's something about Amy" series I'm very skeptical about this Tails as we seen he can change his form to look like their Tails and trick them. My theory was that the original Tails was the one who died at that place with the monster and the imposter took the mech and the identity. Since there was no else but Sonic then for all they know that might be what really happened. We've seen how good of a manipulator the imposter is. Even now he could be manipulating Knuckles by feeding ideas to him like he did with Sonic and Amy. And there's even a pattern of killing Sonic in these worlds. He manipulated Amy into killing Sonic and now he's manipulating Knuckles into killing Sonic.

    Another chapter, another buildup to the Secret History Tails reveal.
    This chapter makes more and more clear through three keys details:
    1. "What are friends for?", his new catchphrase
    2. Tails didn't seem to remember that the original Tails of this world followed Sonic to his death, or accidental fusion with the titan
    3. I doubt that the actual Tails of this world would give a look of darkness covering his eyes, or would say with such certainty to kill the titan, and thus kill what's left of Sonic. It's a pattern that's being followed with the Amy he recruited, although whether or not he intended for Sonic to die I personally doubt.
