wow ash. ur so autistic. awesome
a lot of knuckles redesigns add his traditional markings to Knuckles but I actually find that its a cool detail that he doesn't have them (even if originally it was unintentional). knuckles although he upholds traditions from his ancestors such as protecting the master emerald, he doesn't know that much about them. This is further explored in the IDW 30th anniversary knuckles comic, and throughout the archie comics. I think its an interesting detail that he doesn't have his ancestors markings, because it represents the disconnect he has with them, because he doesn't KNOW THEM.
in a lot of the canon, he never met them and therefore never got to learn how to do it properly. in the sonic 2 live action movie, you can see him with the tradition markings with his tribe, but when he looses them and grows up he forgets how to do it and you never see it again. it represents his loss.
thats the autitsic rant for today. i do love the redesigns because i do love seeing him with them. hes so cool
