The best of Shadow in my opinion was in the game Sonic 06, i loved his personality there. He was edgy but not arrogant and unnecessary angry and that was the Shadow i respected

at least sonic prime redeemed shadow personality-wise

Can't we just go back to how Shadow was in 06 please, I know this game is a disaster but man everyone agrees that 06 had the best Shadow in every Sonic game. Seriously I just want to see my favorite character back, not an edgy, unlikeable, arrogant to the point of being unbearable, weak, useless, borderline stupid Shadow,who loses his composure every time .

GIVE SHADOW ANOTHER GAME!!! Make it better than his first one! He deserves it, and we better get some comprehensive explanations in it.

I’ve been playing Shadow The Hedgehog a ton recently. I see so much potential in the game but I feel like some of the writing and gameplay needs to be tweaked. I would absolutely LOVE a remake or a sequel. Or both! (Please SEGA you will make money trust I’m begging)

This is what happens when the writers are changed every 5 years

In my opinion he was best at the end of his own game (aka the last story), letting go of the past and becoming his own, but now he is stuck all over the place. It could be fixed by making a sequel to the game.

Hope they do more with him in the future

8:34 Which makes it worse is the fact that shadow is based of super sonic. (Shadow is based off the sonic 3 meural where super sonic was chasing down Eggman the final boss, if you know you know). You can see it in the quills.

I’ll say shadow’s last IDW arc and his portrayal in prime is a head start. Hopefully he’ll have a major role in sonic frontiers sequel and we get a super shadow team up with super sonic. It’s been a while since 06 we’ve had super shadow. Also he’s gonna need a portrayal that can top 06. 06 can’t be the only best version of him. Also Sega needs to understand: he doesn’t hate sonic (I meant in a immature way), he has friends with team dark (2nd most popular team), and he does have a heart. They need to stop sidelining him and giving him small screen time like he’s a dead character. If they wanted to make him like vegeta NEWS FLASH, Sega vegeta has character development too and he’s even more popular than goku because of that. In my opinion: I wish we get an interaction with him and whisper. They have the same origin.

Since the next sonic movie will features Shadow, I see a lot interest on the character. They (Sega, IDW, Sonic Boom) lately taugh us that Shadow is an edge lord and an assole (In IDW is even stupid) that we forgot who truly Shadow was. Many forgot that most of his conversation are civilized and that he also had a softer and occasionally amusing side (Who murdered StH, Sonic Prime showed this side of him after more than one decade). "Cowards run, I win!" is a meme :D

I'm glad I found your channel, you put everything I was feeling about this topic into words perfectly.

It’s probably because of segas changes of writers and the new writers didn’t pick up where things left off. I think they should really let shadow’s potential run wild or add him in the frontiers update

Interesting analysis! Can’t wait for more updates and content!

shadow got the Rizz he Rizz me up no cap

Well aside from that "not caring" part. Things are looking bright.

Shouldve been in smash

I always thought that Shadow isn't taking his inhibitor rings, because of how dangerous that is not only for him, but to others around him too, as I have a head cannon that he can't go for a long time without them as he wastes too much chaos energy without them.

SOME people love him more than Sonic, last I remember, he's the 2nd most popular Sonic character behind Sonic, and somehow surpassed Tails, who ranked 3rd.

We need Shadow Adventure! With the return of the Chao Garden!

awesome video man, you should make more like this.

This man is doing sonic justice

I feel like all of shadow can be explained by the writers wanting him to be like vegeta despite him not being like vegeta

A good video idea bro is you reacting to the death battle videos of Sonic characters, and hearing your feedback on it since most of the fights are rigged, maybe you can decide the real winner, for exmaple sonic vs the flash will be a good one!

glad you made this video man it show your love for the characters of this franchise love to see another shadow spin off heck all of sonic rivals from classic and modern deserve a spin off to prove they arent one note characters espically Blaze Sliver and Knuckles and the Aforementioned Ultimate Life Form

They need to give shadow More Love give him his TV series or a new game or a spin-off movie❤

Great video, you're spitting fax man, wish that Sega treated shadow better

Doesn't Shadow get extremely tired after taking off the Inhibitor Rings even with the major power boost?

Great video Ty. Any thoughts on Shadow surviving antimatter during the Diablon fight?

i would imagine shadow is lazy now and just doesnt want to use his full power anymore but still goes around doing random shit to discover himself or something. after adventure 2 shadow might actually have nothing to do as in not having any goals and just be depressed. this to me would explain why he would do nothing in generations but care enough to show up and watch what happens since he does care about the world some amount. that being said you probably could get shadow to use his full power if you make him build up to it correcly.

Him chocking the baby had me off guard 💀

I think shadow takes his inhibitor rings for major crisis events and he gets tired after having them off so it makes sense that he wouldn’t take em off against sonic since sonic is a waste of time that won’t get beat but also shadow can’t control his power when he takes off the inhibitor rings but beating sonic without them sounds petty and he knows he can win but he doesn’t want to get tired like that for anything dumb but also something I would love is for him to become relevant but I hope that he gets a good role and story. To all the sonic fans that think he can beat shadow… that’s plot armor shadow is def stronger

2:16 To be clear: GUN had no knowledge of Black Doom being involved in Project Shadow at first, and by the time they did find out they decided to raid the Ark. Things were already tense between the Ark and GUN after the Biolizard wrecked stuff, with the Black Arms deal being the straw that broke the camel's back. 2:49 9:18This is honestly pretty sad. His actions after STH, for the longest time, have had nothing to do with Maria or Gerald. It's very disappointing. But it's not the first step they took that messed things up, what with how they decided to suddenly have him remember his past in one of their comics. It was never once mentioned that he got his memories back in STH. He did get all 7 of them, but then Black Doom showed up and took them before he could use them to make his wish come true. And by the time he got the Emeralds back, he decided "Nah, never mind."

Bro was choking the baby 😭

ngl if they said that we would "see in the future", it probably means that either he's going to get a mayor appearance in a game or an entire game

Shadow will team up with anyone if he needs to, also he is good friends with Rouge and Omega E-123.

Honestly Shadows arc from SA2-Shadow the hedgehog is absolutely top tier imo, Shadows true ending completes his arc and then in sonic 06 we see the best and most complete version of shadow imo, one who has become his own person and overcome the past

Shadow should not be forgotten and Please let shadow have his own game 😰

"I am all I am all I am."🗣🔥

I don’t think a choose your own path game was meant for shadows game. Yes I like the idea of a sonic game having choices whether it’s good or bad or neutral but in I think it would be better it was one single story with shadow working with black doom because of the chaos emeralds having keys to his past and then eventually working with sonic and friends. I don’t mind another shadow game but hopefully they don’t make it edgy, or have choices in it. I only see shadows next game having one story.

unpopular opinion: I think people like shadow a lot because they’re people who haven’t gotten out of their edgy tren phase, same reason with Itachi.

Tbh I always just thought he did nothing in Generations because Plot conveniences.

this is so sad, google, play despacito.

Nice video fella

Cool video

The reason why shadow don’t have friends is because he don’t like to communicate with other

When shadow takes off his inhibitor rings he only takes off 1 or 2 never all 4 he never takes off the one on his shoes so we never see his true power. I don't even think Sega know how powerful he is.

Shadow is to mature of a character to use him well

Yessir love ur vids

They should just go crazy m rated game and shadow just kills everything

I have a better question: Why aren't most of the characters getting their own game!? Heck with it! Why not bring back Maria and make Cosmo canon!? Tangle, apparently, was confirmed to be canon according to Sonic Frontiers and Sonic was brought back to life by the Chaos Emeralds in 06! Not to mention that Master Emerald is literally the master of power and capabilities immensely compared to the Chaos Emeralds! I really must know! 😱😠💢

I really like such topics about sonic

bro is getting so creative with the like the video section

So cool

Blame Ken Pontac for what happened since colors, he didn't even played a sonic game and did Shadow dirty.

0:34 “Sonic Dash Would Destory The Competition” Me: Yeah. Because It’s Free. On Smartphones.

So you think sonic dash is the best sonic game? Because sometime I might get one and I’m wondering what would be a good first sonic game

Yeah I agree their usage of Shadow is underwhelming...

Very cool

Pre 1 day gang 👇

This aged well

Are we gonna ignore that he starts choking goes to as a baby

Is no one gonna talk about that promotion to like the video?😂

7:35 What da heeeeeeeeell, oooooh my gaaawd no wa-aa-aaaay

Sonic 06 was peak shadow writing, fact not opinion

Okay, I now see why shadow's bio is a problem, he also reminds me of Raiden from Metal Gear Rising Revengeence

Dude, this is the 5th thumbnail i have seen in this ONE video

1:12 I had to like the video man was about to kill me.

I don't really see the sonic fast friends bios as Cannon because if it was there would be a Japanese version of the website because but there's not

Thank God I liked the video I almost died 😅

You are unironically my favorite bro

Sonic currently smoking on that maria pack

Or you know, Shadow's rings may be one of the things from 06 Sega wants us to forget Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that's the only time they were brought up/used in the games

He predicted the future

Shadow is not faster than classic sonic lol love the vids

):() i am so sorry shadow.

OMG YOU MAKE ACTUAL CONTENT I LIKE YOU HAVE A NEW SUBSCRIBER

they did him DIRTY

Takashi Iizuka say he want to make Shadow the hedgehog new game at the future

Nah go hand definitely didn’t get his swagger back but as for shadow I get where he’s coming from I feel the same shadow needs another game or at lest making him playable in a new one like we got rails and knuckles again beige shadow when he got the same moveset as sonic. And the power difference I’ll say shadow is just based off of sonic so he could be stronger but I have watched videos basically showing the sonic is at the current point in the series far stronger then shadow. And it does make sense when you look at how it’s laid out cause with each new game for the most part since the adventurer too sonic is flat out stated to be the fastest thing alive while shadow in some cases is said to rival or is fast but not as fast as sonic like flat out stated in some cars or it’s insinuated heavily.

I think the idw guy was talking about a new shadow game where he gets charecter development that’s non cannon

0:05 Facts

1:24 goo goo gaga😂

Hes basically vegeta

At least bro gets the most fire Odetari edits 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥

He punch the baby 🤯

Hi youtuber😊😊

Its been a year since i became a fan of sonic

The example with gohan was the worst actually, since he himself doesn't want to be fighter, he wants to be a scholar, yet you guys want him to be fighter

Shadow solos.

the meta era was the worst era hen it comes for stories and characters like shadow's character was ruined in the meta era unlike the 2000s era, I think that the best shadow we ever got was shadow from sonic x and from sonic 06. I think shadow is suppose to be a guy who wants to protect his friends so doesn't have to see the people he loves die again and be nice to the people around him not edgy and keep acting like he doesn't care and he doesn't like anybody Ian Flynn doesn't know how to write shadow write he just copied vegeta from DBZ and said that's shadow

💕💕💕💕I love u brooooo

7:23 ive only read up until the end of the metal virus so far, but from what ive seen, ion like the idw shadow. hes to angry and egotistical, while shadow is supposed to be a calm, self reserved and logical person.

MAKE IT TO TWO MILLION

Its here

Dam
