I have recently watched the Knuckles series, remembered something from the pre-quill comic, and have come up with a heartbreaking theory for all Sonic fans whether they have seen the movies or not: not EVERY single character or enemy will be featured majorly. We all saw Wade relive one adventure Knuckles actually had in episode 4 of the Knuckles series "The Flames of Disaster", and that's how Knuckles has his flaming fists!!!! It may have been a tough battle, as it was told, but Knuckles has already destroyed Iblis!!!!!! That means he may not be a threat in the Sonic Cinematic Universe, so if we see Silver or Mephiles, there will be no Iblis!!! And don't get me started on the Chaotix. That's right. I have doubts about them. Sure, we know they exist in the pre-quill comic as a cameo in Knuckles' side of the story, but what if that's it for them?! What if it's that one character you know and love that only has one cameo appearance in a movie and is never seen again?!?!?! So much potential that us Sonic fans have speculated on about Vector, Charmy and Espio could possibly be MEANINGLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t think all hope is lost. The pre-quill comic showing Chaotix at all means they exist in the universe. Maybe it’s their way of teasing them slowly? Could still be a long play. classroom 76
