Knuckles’ Controversial Human Characters Just Made Sonic’s Movie Universe Much Better

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Although there is controversy surrounding how much focus human characters received in Knuckles, they've managed to make the Sonic the Hedgehog movie franchise even better through their stories. Despite being based on the video game series, the cast of Knuckles doesn't contain many characters from the Sonic franchise.

Wade & Knuckles’ Friendship Proves Humans Can Have Major Roles In Sonic Movies Wade Becomes A Key Focal Point Of The Miniseries In episode 1, Knuckles decides to begin training Wade in the ways of the Echidna warrior, boosting his confidence so he can confront his father, "Pistol" Pete Whipple, at a bowling tournament in Reno, Nevada. The series slowly emphasizes the budding friendship between the pair, with Wade growing more confident as the series progresses.

This is further emphasized during episode 4's musical number, where Knuckles is given a deeper backstory through Wade's dream. Learning more about the war with the Echidnas and Owls, alongside the introduction of the Fire Demon, offers the audience a better understanding of Knuckles' character while also giving Wade the confidence he needs to embrace his warrior spirit.

Although the decision to focus so much on Wade in Knuckles may have been controversial, the structure of their friendship could be translated over to Sonic the Hedgehog 3 to make the movie even better. While doing so could risk a higher focus on humans than the game characters, workarounds like Robotnik and Maria make it possible for the film to maintain focus on the source material.
