I'm a fan of both Sonic movies. In the second one, Knuckles had me cracking up. I immediately liked him and was excited for his own series. The first couple episodes are fun and funny. The Knuckles humor is back in full force. It seemed like the series was on the way to success.
I don't think I've ever seen a series nosedive as hard as this one. Episode 3 is absolutely abysmal. They introduce Wade's sister, possibly the most annoying character in history. There were about 100 jokes or comedic attempts. Not only did I laugh at zero, but nearly every one made cringe. It's shockingly bad.
I was hoping it would be a one-off. But the rest of the series is just as bad. It's unbelievable cheesy and corny. These are jokes for children. I understand the entire Sonic series is PG and is technically for kids. But the movies are enjoyable even for adults. This feels exclusively for children.
There several other flaws as well. I noticed multiple continuity errors, things that make no sense, and cartoonishly unrealistic action moments.
But the worst part is, the title character is barely in the series. There are entire episodes where he's nowhere to be found. I like Wade as a side character in the movies, but he's not nearly interesting enough to lead. Yet he's still endlessly better than the rest of the cast/characters. Everyone else is atrocious.
The only thing good about the show Knuckles is Knuckles. Everything he says and does is awesome. Imagine if the show centered around him. That seems obvious to do. I guess not.
