Sonic the Hedgehog fans are losing it over the new “sexy voice” of Knuckles the Echidna, the fan-favorite game character that will make his big-screen debut in the Sonic the Hedgehog movie sequel. The first trailer for Sonic 2 dropped during The Gaming Awards last night, and viewers were not prepared for the kind of sexy swagger Knuckles would have with actor Idris Elba’s baritone voice coming out of him. Now that Sonic fans have Idris Elba’s “sexy voice” for knuckles, they can’t unhear it. And they don’t seem to want to.

He’s, too sexy for this film, too sexy for that game, too sexy for this world…
‘The Elba Effect’
Despite his best efforts Idris made Knuckles sound sexy.

This scene from Idris Elba’s stint on The Office was way too meta real then – and still is now.
Idris Lied To Us
Idris Elba: Nah, I wasn't really going for "sexy" with Knuckles's voice.

Also Idris Elba: pic.twitter.com/xwhM3XXVfQ
In a now-infamous previous interview, Idris Elba plainly stated he was NOT going for a sexy voice with Knuckles. Dirty liar!
ERMARGAWD!
Idris knuckles sexy

REALLY sexy
Yeah pic.twitter.com/kOKZoE1mOC
Elba has Sonic fans out here feeling some kind of way. All over.
Stick to the Facts
Despite being super cool and unbelieveably sexy, Knuckles the Echidna is in fact not a MegaMan character, even tho that description clearly makes him sound like one. He is actually from the lesser known and niche series Speedy the PrickleBoy. pic.twitter.com/CZZKAO0twG

This Sonic fan is looking past the insatiable sexiness to deliver the #StraightFacts on Knuckles. Admirable discipline.
Too Sexy For Theaters
They keep delaying the Sonic trailer because Idris Elba keeps demanding they make Knuckles less sexy, they are trying

This is just a joke – or is it???
Just Friends
ima be the first to say that knuckles doesn't sound sexy, i just think he's neat.
— KOLSANTA(COMMS FULL) (@KOLCHAN8) December 10, 2021
This fan didn’t fall in love with Knuckles – she just wants to be friends.
No Denial Possible
"Knuckles voice will not be sexy," he said, sexily.
— RoseQQ (@RoseQuix) December 10, 2021
PARADOX: Idris Elba saying Knuckles wouldn’t sound sexy was, in itself, a sexy statement.
Is He Even Legal???
Can y'all stop calling knuckles 'sexy' he's a 16 year old echidna
— Omu🍑#BLM (@Omlette33) December 10, 2021
Ummmm… Is it even safe to be having this conversation???
