Really looking forward to some lampshading in Sonic Movie 3 regarding the Wachowski family and their proclivity for adopting strange alien children.
It may’ve taken all of the second movie for Sonic to recognize Tom and Maddie as parental figures, but Tails and Knuckles were speedrunning the found family trope. Hell, they are practically adopted by the blueray bonus scene.
Which begs the question of how long it’ll take them to adopt Shadow in Sonic 3. I’m betting Tom barely lays eyes on this edgy version of his son and is already on the phone with Maddie to discuss living arrangements while she browses online for more kid sized race car beds.
“He’s not a Wachowski.” “Yet.” Either by adoption or by marrying Sonic, Shadow Wachowski is inevitable.
(In reference to my tags in a recent post) I personally don’t ship them at all, so marriage isn’t an option in my mind (not to mention they are all VERY young), but if he ends up getting adopted I would DIE with joy :D
if leo (voiced by ben schwartz) can have a twin brother with a darker color palette than him that he can lovingly annoy and hang out with, then sonic (also voiced by ben schwartz) should have one too!!
(tag this as s*nadow and i will eviscerate your tendons)
You know what would absolutely end me, if Movie Sonic either tackles Shadow into a hug during the conclusion of the fight or runs, picks him up and spins him around while laughing in relief before putting him down embarrassed after realizing what he did.
