Racist and misogynist????? o_O

The misogyny part is the fact that the important cast has been all male for two movies and a tv show (at least, probably gonna be three movies considering that we have not seen any hint of a hint about rouge or amy being included in the third movie although i am hopefully wrong about this) and even with the movie original human characters, Maddie gets to be important for like 2.5 seconds in the second one but it's Tom getting the emotional arcs, Tom bonding with Sonic, Wade being the important human in the Knuckles series, Gerald (allegedly) getting a bigger role in movie 3 while Maria is presumably still going to die- like there is a pattern forming here.

The racism comes from Maddie and Rachel and Jojo just all being consistently shoved aside for white male characters even in cases where it doesn't make any sense. Like the Knuckles series is supposed to be about Knuckles learning about family or why staying on earth is important (or something like that, I've only seen it once and by the end I was thoroughly dissociating and barely paying attention) but instead of learning that with his actual found family when they had Tika Sumpter (Maddie's actress) in the show. Even if they just wanted to stick with humans so they didn't have to spend money on animating CGI creatures, wouldn't sticking Knuckles with Maddie make the most sense, especially after the first episode where she's angry with his behavior and trying to explain to him what's going wrong?

It's not the most egregious bigotry ever, primarily based on exclusion and prioritization of certain demographic groups instead of any active malice. And when discussing this I feel like it is also important to point out that the Knuckles show did make a deliberate attempt to include Jewish people and that should be congratulated. But the bigotry (and the fact that the company is pro-Israel) is still present and needs to be pointed out.

The Sonic fandom will fight tooth and nail over a lot of things, but at least at the end of the day we all love Cowboy Hat Knuckles.

My Theory on Pachacamac and The Iblis Trigger

There is talk about how much they changed Pachacamac from a warmongering, power hungry tribal leader, to a goofy grandpa figure, but I think the truth of Pachacamac's nature might be somewhere between the two interpretations. Despite his friendliness, you can't forget he did lead a clan that wiped out the owls with a singleminded focus on capturing Sonic and reclaiming The Master Emerald. Pachacamac, now a ghost, has visited Knuckles to tell him he needs to expand his tribe. There are no other echidnas left, so he asks the sole survivor to take on an apprentice. "Show him our customs, teach him our traditions, and soon our tribe will grow once again."

There is no acceptance or acknowledgement of the fact that the clan's current situation is the result of a bloody feud and the destruction of an entire race besides their own. There is also, unsettlingly, no acknowledgement of Tails, Sonic, or The Wachowskis as members of Knuckles' clan.

While there are questionable elements to Pachacamac's approach, his motivations are at least understandable. Knuckles is a minority– the last of his tribe and the only surviving member of his species, so of course his old chief wants to see their traditions and culture preserved.

Things only get really weird when Pachacamac takes hold of Wade– Knuckles' apprentice and the soon-to-be new addition to their clan–and rewrites history. Rather than the tale of a lone owl that the echidnas hunted down in a quest for power, the story is instead of an entire flock of owls that were the aggressors, killing off Knuckles' tribe and burning down his village for no reason other than for the sake of the slaughter.

Similarly, Knuckles isn't described as a lost child left behind, but a fellow warrior who battled alongside his father until the bitter end.

So, knowing that Pachacamac's version of events is wrought with lies leads to one very serious question: What is the true story of Knuckles' battle with Iblis? If there's one thing we know about The Echidna Clan, it's that they are fixated on raw power. They're a warrior-focused society where the best fighter gets the highest honor and the most privileges. They were the ones who crafted The Master Emerald from the seven chaos emeralds. They were the ones who tracked down Sonic when he was a child with the intention of obtaining his power, before Long Claw wiped them out in her final struggle.

And who else do we know that was accidentally unleashed in a reckless pursuit of power?

Iblis, the raw power of the sun god Solaris. Iblis, who was sealed away within a child using the power of the chaos emeralds.

Now, there's no doubt that "The Flames of Disaster" in the SCU are very different from "The Flames of Disaster" in Sonic 06. In the movie universe the flames are merely a type of wieldable power rather than the name of an apocalyptic event. However... what better way to rewrite the fact that the echidna tribe nearly caused the end of the world and locked an immortal fire demon within an echidna child, than by pretending that The Flames of Disaster is just an inherent ability Knuckles unlocked through an epic battle?

What if "The Flames of Disaster" wasn't a power he obtained through a magnificent fight, but a power he survived after it was thrusted upon him by his elders? ... What if one of the many, many reasons reasons his father didn't let him join the fight was out of fear of what would happen if he cried?

Just some random Knuckles cute moments from the episode The Shabbat Dinner.

I thought that was a cute episode.

[weirdozjunkary]

Honest to god I adore Knuckles and Wades friendship in the Knuckles series. They’re both complete opposites, yet ironically get along so well and have so much in common.

Knuckles’ straight forward no nonsense attitude bounces off Wades insecure idiot character really well. Both of them don’t really know how to fit into society either.

They both help each other grow as well, Wade teaching Knuckles how to have fun and relax, while Knuckles teaches Wade to stand up for himself.

I hope their friendship is still present in the third movie, cause they are too cute together.

[movie-robotnik-positivity]

The target audience for the Knuckles show isn't Sonic fans. It's made specifically for people who write and read fanfiction about the Wachowski family doing mundane shit like going to the zoo.
