Knuckles is the next entry in Paramount’s live-action adaptations of the popular Sonic the Hedgehog series. Focusing on the eponymous Knuckles the Echidna (voiced by Idris Elba), the streaming TV series will supposedly expand the universe of the films. Unfortunately, the initial trailer for Knuckles leaves a lot to be desired in terms of actually involving anything from the games.Featuring almost none of the elements from the games, the Knuckles TV series looks almost wholly removed from Sonic lore. Additionally, there are key characters that are ripe for adaptation in the series who are sadly not present. This begs the question of how necessary the series is and whether it’s simply there to create content for Paramount+.One line of dialogue calls back to what Knuckles said to Sonic in the second movie, making it even more obvious that the TV miniseries is treading a similar path. Given how different Knuckles is from Sonic, there was a lot of potential to do something different from the hedgehog’s movies. After all, the later 3D games in the video game franchise switched things up in terms of the characters’ gameplay. Sonic still rolled around at the speed of sound, but Knuckles’ adventures involved digging and searching for shattered shards of the Master Emerald. That concept could have easily been replicated in the TV series, but the fact that it wasn’t speaks to a major issue with the show, at least going from its trailer.
