Knuckles the Echidna (Sonic Boom)

Knuckles the Echidna is one of the main characters in Sonic Boom. He is from Angel Island and the last of his kind. He is also the keeper of the Fregosi Sapphire. Knuckles serves as the muscle of Team Sonic, a group of heroes who defends the peace of Seaside Island and the world at large. Unlike his friends, Knuckles is a nomad without a permanent home and lives in nature. Sadly, he's now flanderized in this era.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Instead of being portrayed as the same Knuckles who was smart and a bit gullible yet still a likable hero that cares about saving the planet and everyone, he is portrayed as the generic, brutal, oblivious & lazy idiot of the group.
 * 2) His character design (while still rendered well) looks awful to the faithful look of Knuckles and is shallow looking when presenting him as the 'dumb muscle of the group.
 * 3) He can be quite stupid and annoying more often than not.
 * 4) The stuff that he does as an idiot character isn't really all that amusing nor interesting, it just looks annoying.
 * 5) Most of his dialogue is just regularly to what any generic idiot character would usually say. Which just doesn't really sound all that funny either.
 * 6) He can't even climb the wall with all elements, instead, it's just the rock thing and that's pretty much it.
 * 7) He was at his worst in Counter Productive.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Even though his design was awful, some fans consider it to be awesome.
 * 2) To be fair, the moment he stated the real meaning of feminism was pretty inspiring and fared well with most viewers.
 * 3) He created some memes, the most famous being the "Meme Approved".
 * 4) He admits to being "dumb as a rock" in Don't Judge Me. Also, he isn't always dumb and does act a bit smart sometimes.
 * 5) On some occasions, he has funny lines and moments.
 * 6) The Sonic Boom TV series would probably not be as good as it is without him.
