User blog comment:US3RN4M3/What Is Your Point Of View On Sonic Boom?/@comment-24289540-20131113035159

From what I know so far, I HATE I mean STRONGLY DISLIKE it. Because Knuckles looks completely stupid. This annoys me so much because Knuckles is my favourite character. And not just favourite Sonic Character, I mean favourite character in general. I don't really know why he just is. I'm REALLY hoping that Sega's just trolling us and they aren't even getting any redesigns, or maybe they look messed-up since it's a comedy and they don't actually look like that. And I swear to God, if these designs affect the whole fanchise (mainly the games) then I'm done with Sonic. Knuckles is the only reason why I cared about Sonic in the first place. I mean if his design change was more minor like Sonic with his few extra quills, then whatever. But no. It's so drastic he doesn't even look the same. He looks like Dingo from Sonic Underground. It annoys me, and it also doesn't help that I have a minor fear of extremely muscular things (seriously it scares me).

I still need to see the revealed designs to have a full opinion. I might have reacted to quickly about it. I kinda just want them to reveal them already so I can fully make my opinion. But based on the silhouettes alone, I don't think I'll be happy with the results, unless like I said the silhouettes are exagerated for comedy or something.

To be honest, when I first found out this was a real thing happening, I got so angry that I ran outside and biked up and down the road for ten minutes. And I kicked a post in my backyard. Yeah, if it was any other character BESIDES Knuckles I wouldn't have overreacted so much, but since it was Knuckles, well I overreacted. This affected me so much that it actually resulted my friend finding out about my obsession with Knuckles (not romantic by the way) after like three years of not knowing about it at all. If it wasn't for this Sonic Boom thing my friend probably wouldn't know about it now.

TL;DR: I'm super upset about Knuckles's shadow and overreacted but I can't make a full opinion on it until it's actually revealed, which I'm a bit scared to see. If Knuckles looks like how I imagine (and even worse is like that in the games) then I'm done with Sonic.
