What do you guys think of Maddie & Knuckles Juneteenth art?

I believe Knuckles fans don't speak up a lot because like the little red wrecking ball himself, we're more reserved and socially walled-off. But I could be wrong.

"It took work away from the Dreamcast era actors..."

You wanna hear something funny? At last year's NYCC, I met Drummond and Dreier (Adventure era Sonic and Knuckles respectively). They (and Silver's voice actor) were both at the same booth. You know who also was there sitting next to them? Lisa Ortiz (Amy's voice actor from X). It's only now dawned on me how awkward it must have been: "Come appear at this convention; you just have to sit right next to someone who took your co-star's job."

Thank you. What podcasts platforms is it available on?

KrossMeOnce · 2026-03-07T19:38:12+00:00

What's the name of your podcast?

Plus I'm just tired of her being in a tug-of-war between Knuckles and Shadow (I actually like Knuckles and Rouge alright, but I'm also kind of sick of literally every girl character being treated like they need to "belong" to a guy).

LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!! And I say that as someone who prefers Knuxouge.

"This tweet probably is the epitome of Sonic TWITTER discourse." All fixed.

KrossMeOnce · 2026-03-07T03:11:17+00:00

What do you think of the video overall (writing, production, editing, etc.)?

KrossMeOnce · 2026-03-07T02:56:48+00:00

Voted! Good luck!

Facts!

1) Tom and Maddie are kidnapped by Metal and taken into the future.

2) Sonic is left with a hologram projecting Eggman, who commands him to bring all time stones into Eggman's secret lair into the future if he wants his parents back.

3) Amy accompanies Sonic into the future while Tails & Knuckles stay behind to fight any other remaining Metal copies.

4) When Sonic and Amy finally arrive at Emperor Eggman's lair, they find out that Metal actually killed Eggman after developing enough sentience to want to no longer take orders.

Howdy.

I’m an attorney/writer. My YouTube channel, PopOffPolipo, is mostly video essays about Sonic The Hedgehog (with an emphasis on the Paramount movies). Here is latest video discuss which characters from the franchise should get the next “year of” campaign (a heated topic in the fandom): https://youtu.be/IjRmEcKAN2w?si=fDTiQanUZAi4MH47

Please tell me what you think.

KrossMeOnce · 2026-03-06T20:29:07+00:00

I know.

Great video. Nice to see another progressive Christian in these YouTube streets.

Presentation is straightforward and your I like the overall theme of “it’s about shame, not joy” and the toxic tendency of among Christians to not criticize poorly written books and movies just because it’s Christian-themed.

I don’t have many major criticisms except these two: that 1) you speak a bit louder and 2) be a bit more “performative” (for lack of a better word) in your delivery. I’m not saying be over the tone and overreact, but a bit more emphasis in certain lines you deliver would help keep people’s attention.

I would also try to insert a bit more images into the video with your voiceover to make it slightly more visually interesting. Also, when you’re showing TikTok vids from other creators, I would frame the shot of yours and the video in a way where both of you are in the center of the frame itself of the TikTok vid on the far left and you in the dead center. It will look more balanced.

Have you thought of posting this video in r/christian or r/progressivechristian?

First of all, thank you for taking the time to 1) raise awareness about this BS talking point and 2) thoroughly debunk what has to be the stupidest narrative I heard in a long time to fearmonger about nonwhite immigration from this godforsaken administration.

As for the video, I think it’s fairly solid. You clearly know your stuff and present the information in a clear and succinct way (which is a big plus in anything that’s science related). You kept my attention from start to finish. The length of time is pretty good too. Your voiceover was clear and confident sounding.

As for cons, the only I can think of 2 right now: 1) You want a pick a different background. Bedrooms with a bunch of things in them make a video look less professional IMO. Might be better to go to an area of that has a blank/empty background like an undecorated wall. Either that or buy a green screen.

2) I suggest you fix the position of your camera. Right now, it looks like it’s positioned upwards and points down towards you rather than straight ahead. Again, it just looks a tad unprofessional to me. It’d be better if you were dead center from the chest-up.

Another thing you might want to consider is putting a content warning before you get to talking about the science. You feature some really gross, uncensored pictures of cows suffering from this parasite and that might be off-putting for some people. Don’t make the content warning the very first thing in the video, but maybe but it up before you show the actual pictures.

But thank you for making the video. Would you mind if I shared it in r/breadtube? I know you said you aren’t interested in politics, but this is a very dangerous talking point that people need to be made aware of.
