To be fair, Conan is a rather violent franchise so it's understandable they had to work around the violence in the cartoon. Such as instead of straight-up killing, Conan's sword is made of a metal that sends lizard people to another dimension than just murder them. I just... don't want what happened to Knuckles TV series to happen to Golden Axe.
But I have a feeling Golden axe is in good hands. Even Lower Decks had arching subplots over the assignments and missions that most of the comedy derived from.

Knuckles TV series is kinda more like Wade TV series.
Wade Whipple Show (& Knuckles)
Hopefully the "Hampton Squib" character that was added for the Golden Axe didn't become Wade of the show.
Probably, I dunno who thought "Sonic X Shadow" for a game title was a good idea.
What would you name the game if you were in charge of the title?
