How dare you try to infiltrate our podcast in hopes you may steal our precious episodes? Prismaeya is back to join us on a deep dive about the red-dreaded one we all love (some more than others), Knuckles! While Rad Red has had a remarkably consistent characterization across his various portrayals (with some notable exceptions), his role itself has shifted dramatically over the years. From the original rival to roster filler, from hothead to meathead, from stoic loner to Christ allegory, this echidna has seen and done it all, but which ones feel the most true to the guy who's rougher than the rest of them? Let's discuss and find out!
