I love that last comment from eggman since he's the one who started the whole twitter takeover under Aaron Webber's activities as sonic social media manager in 2015.
It was a nostalgic trip imo.
Glad someone compiled the first takeover(my favorite is when the question about the Aaron's situation during Eggman taking sonic twitter account. that teeny tiny Aaron's cry lmao)

Round 5 - Catholic Character Tournament
Jason art credit @Reincao
Propaganda below ⬇️
Jason
Okay it's cannon but like in an alternative universe because Comics. I just think the fact DC made Known Murderer and Reblious Teen with Daddy Issues a Catholic priest in a different universe. Just. Casually.
Jason Todd is may or may not be Catholic in the main timeline of DC Comics, but I the Flashpoint storyline, my man is a priest! He was a drug addict, thief, and in the Blood Brother cult before dying, only to come back to life and decide to become a priest in the hellhole that is Gotham. In the main timeline, he comes back after dying and stuffs a duffel bags full of heads! The common trait before all Jason Todds is that they all have to be as dramatic as possible. Dying and coming back as the most unexpected thing. Unbelievable. I love this man.
Shadow
In sonic destruction (the AI generated fan thing snapcube made a while ago) shadow was catholic or something which I think is reallyyyyyyy funny
Ok listen. I know this is a stretch but hear me out. He says “oh my God” in the Twitter takeovers so we know this is a possibility. I see him as a Christ-like figure because I saw his whole confrontation with Mephiles and was like “this is a thing that happened in the Bible??” and the pose Mephiles shows him in is literally like a crucifixion and Mephiles is meant to be a demon / false prophet reference. And also he’s called a demon in Shadow The Hedgehog 2005 then the guy who calls him that is like “I was wrong I’m sorry” and that also reminds me of a thing with Jesus in The Bible. But the biggest reason is his whole thing with Maria cause I think he’d come to earth and hear Ave Maria once and convert to Catholicism idk he’s like we’re comforted by a female familial figure named Mary sometimes called Maria?? And her color is blue????? Heck yeah I’m in because I Will Cry. Also feel free to share this as propaganda obv even if he doesn’t get in the bracket just. It’s funny.
I feel like he’d battle a lot with being seen or portrayed as a demon and how the aliens he’s related to very much look and act like demons idk lmao- and also I feel like confession would just be good for him I think he needs it for his mental health
There is a debate on the lovely website tunblr that Shadow T. Hedgehog is an allegory for Jesus Christ.
He is Jesus, idk what to tell you. He lived, he was sealed away, he was awakened again and deemed the ultimate lifeforms, he’s angry but not evil, does what he believes is best for people and the world at any given time. Total loser.

Your favorite iteration of sonic? (Via show/comic/games etc)
That's a tough one. There's so many that I like-!
Prime Sonic and Wachowski are so expressive and sweet hyperactive children who are gradually learning things and they are both absolutely endearing to watch. I just wanna grapb these babies and hug them half the time.
Then there's X!Sonic (Japanese version). He feels like the one Sonic who has all aspects of Sonic's personality. He gets cocky, heroic, optimistic, sassy but also gets serious, angry, thoughtful and determined. The one gripe I have with him is how he doesn't seem to be as attached to Tails as the other versions. So not No#1 fav but still a fav, I like his characterization quite a lot. He has this aura about him that tells that he is self sufficient and experienced and has seen so much but is also a child and gets childish and excitable enough to act his age.
IDW Sonic is interesting. He tries to have the most positive and forgiving moral compass but the IDW writers are pushing his emotional and moral limits with every other arc. He's being put through test after test when it comes to patience and his morals. He is being taught that sometimes, you don't have a choice but to do what you don't wish to do. Sometimes, you have to let go of the goody morals of sparing every villain in sight to do the right thing. I have a hunch that the writers are treating Sonic as if he's Sega's restrictions on keeping the boy happy smiley hero 24/7. They're pushing him to his limits to the point that he learns to actually express other emotions, to actually stop an antagonist for once because you can't save everyone. You can't keep giving somebody a chance who has a choice but doesn't want to change. The writers are going, "Oh you wish to have Sonic as the King Positivity who never harms a living being and remains smiling no matter what? We'll give you a Sonic that's this way. And then put him through the horrors till he breaks. "
And Boom Sonic! He's an absolute mood! I love all of Roger's line deliveries in Boom, they were done so well. He's super fun to watch too.
Classic Sonic is a kid who is heroic and egoistic and is learning to enjoy life and have friends and be happy. Ova Sonic, Mania Sonic and AoSTH Sonic are my favorites when it comes to Classic.
And from the Games, well, SA2, Unleashed, SatBK, Secret Rings and Frontiers have some of my favorite characterizations.
In conclusion, characterization wise my favorite iterations of Sonic are:
1. SCU
2.Prime
3. SatBK
4. X (Japanese version)
5. Frontiers
6. Boom
7. AoSTH
And overall, my favorite iteration is this one:
youtube
Honorable mentions include Twitter Takeover Sonic and Fanon Sonic.
#sonic the hedgehog#sonic prime#sonic#sonic idw#sonic x#sonic boom#sonic wachowski#movie sonic#sonic movie#classic sonic#aosth#sonic ova#sonic mania#satbk#satsr#sa2#sonic unleashed#and if u meant which Sonic Media is my fav and not which Sonic is my favorite... forgive me. 🫠#it's Prime and SCU and IDW and everything that Tysson Hesse has a hand in#and Sonic X Japanese version#oh and Amnesiac Sonic from idw! how could I forget him?!

Big the Cat Isn’t Real in Frontiers
In regards to Sonic Frontiers, something has been eating away at me since I completed the game, and I couldn’t find anyone else talking about it, so here I go! I understand that there have been comics released surrounding Sonic Frontiers, but I have yet to look into them, my analysis here is from the game itself, the animated prologue, and technically the Twitter Takeover, though they don’t mention Big at all from there. Sonic Frontiers Spoilers.
I legitimately believe that the Big the Cat that appears in Frontiers is not real. When Sonic first meets Big, he’s already in cyber space. Upon this encounter, I thought his random appearance was a reference to Adventure 2, in which he’d randomly appear in strange areas. Still, Knuckles, Amy, Tails and Eggman are all trapped in cyber space throughout the game, so surely Big must also be trapped as well, correct?
Sonic: “Big!? What are you doing here? HOW did you get here? What even IS here?”
Big: “I dunno. I was looking for fishing spots and wound up here.”
Seems like a simple enough explanation at first. In character, at least.
On top of that, much like everyone else (excluding Eggman), he has his own “memory tokens,” which in this case translated to Purple Coins, solidifying he was definitely, probably, trapped in cyber space.
Yet, by the end of the game, I couldn’t help but notice that Big was not with the cast of characters leaving the island.
In fact, we never saw him get sucked into cyber space in the first place. There’s proof that everyone else was seen in the PROCESS of being trapped, except for Big. Eggman went into a forest, did a thing and it immediately backfired before the game had a chance to begin, Tails, Amy and Sonic were all on the Tornado when they got trapped, and Knuckles got his own animated prologue justifying his reason for being here.
Big, on the other hand, did not. All we get is a line of dialogue claiming he did.
It also became known to us that cyber space is a collection of data pulled from the users’ memories.
Sonic: “Yo, so did Cyber Space actually interact with my brain?”
Sage: “It was designed to catalogue neural networks, among other things, so yes.”
Sonic: “Alright, hear me out: do you think all those locations I visited were pulled from my memories?”
Sage: “That is plausible. It imported the data of your memories and applied it to your surroundings so you could comprehend them.”
Granted, Sage is technically speaking hypothetically herself, but knowing how Sonic lore works, we have to take this as canon information. Taking this at face value, we have to assume the cyber space we visit as Sonic is pulled from his brain.
Which is why it’s strange that at the end of the game, or DURING the game, Big is never technically mentioned outside of his fishing spaces. It would also explain why things like ring boxes
or springs
appear in the virtual lake at all. These are from Sonic’s memories!
You could also argue that being the reason why some of the things you catch look... well...
... strange, to say the least.
(Sega’s turning the frogs gay, huh?)
If this is still all in Sonic’s perception, it’d also make sense as to why the blue-ringed octopus or the anglerfish look radically bigger than their real-world counterparts.
Could it just be that Sega didn’t do their aquatic homework? Like they didn’t do their basic research on hedgehogs or on geology/astronomy? I refuse to believe that completely preposterous outlook. Sonic saw a picture of an anglerfish and an octopus, and just like ME at AGE 5, assumed they must be the roughly the size of a bear. (Side note, I’m aware that some anglerfish can grow up to 3 feet, and Sonic’s 3 feet, but this is still an absurd size comparison).
That said, there are still things like the Hermit scrolls that occasionally show up, and Big literally sells you Eggman’s diary memos. One could argue, those things literally couldn’t be in Sonic’s memories. However, cyber space is a communal space. Apparently you can find out information from just about anyone in there.
Tails: “While you were online it opened up a flood of data. It was way too much to process, but I did get a glimpse of the Ancients’ personal data.”
Based on this evidence, we can turn to Big, and question his role in Frontiers. He’s a merchant, he’s kind of a punchline, and he provides a break from typical gameplay (also a way to skip obnoxious memory token grinding sessions).
There’s... no reason for him to NOT leave cyber space. His presence in each fishing spot doesn’t suggest he is benefitting from his stay, nor is it assumed that he enjoys his time there. So why doesn’t he leave with them? Big simply tells Sonic that he was looking for fishing spots and ended up in cyber space. However, cyber space recreates itself for Sonic so that he could comprehend it. The Big we spend time with is very likely to be Sonic’s idea of Big, his memory of Big, or cyber space’s excuse to grant Sonic data. It could even be The End/spooky sky voice’s way of forcing Sonic to progress, disguising itself as Big, however my only evidence for that claim is during Sonic’s corruption, Big is not seen anywhere trying to assist Sonic. Even Eggman was there, not helping, but present.
Other than that, that theory is a stretch, even by my standards.
In any case, it was odd to me that Big was totally ignored throughout the game. He’s by no means the most popular character, but if we are to assume it IS the real Big, why would they leave him in cyber space? Why wouldn’t Sonic attempt to free him as well, or at the very least talk about him with other characters?
It may seem like Big is just a wacky character, who just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time as usual. But if that was all there is to it, why is this such a... Big... Mystery?
Thank you for reading out my entire existential crisis.
Please have a wonderful rest of your day.
Play Frontiers, it’s fun.

In a previous post I talked about people having a problem with one Amy Rose being a strong character rather than just a normal character. How they have problems with her recent depictions in things like the IDW comics as rather strong. I pointed out how in older material it already was implying she was rather strong, and in this post I am continuing that. Credit to flowergirlmiwa for pointing this out, in Sonic Battle Amy is one of the few characters we see actually training using weights. In fact the rings she is seen wearing are some of those weights, she is also wearing some on her legs which are obscured. When she takes them off the screen shakes to further sell this fact. She's basically pulling a Goku from DBZ. Now watch her be wearing some kind of weighted shirt underneath her skirt. In addition in the opening sequence of Amy's episode Sonic and Tails make mention of Amy getting Stronger. Continuing apparently on the Sega of America website from Sonic Characters such as Amy in March 5 2005 , the website claimed that "Amy is graceful and powerful at the same time and though she often gets into trouble, she is stronger than most give her credit for." While a comedic moment Amy does just straight up slap Knuckles into a tree in Sonic Generations, also showing her to have strength. And most recently in the Twitter Takeover Knuckles and Amy claim Amy using her hammer can break the Earth, a feat we've seen Knuckles be able to do himself.

How do you feel during the Sonic twitter takeover 5 when tails says “now I’ve told 4 lies” enter manic laughter
alright, let's get into it
i fully believe tails can do no wrong
he's just a little guy who saves the world, precious baby boy
however
he killed yacker in that takeover
well, he obviously didnt actually kill them but yknow what i mean
so it leaves me to wonder
what the fuck are the other lies
now, i feel like one of them are definitely something that's basic for a kid (cause, yknow, he's 8 lmao)
soemthing like how he definitely went to bed on time, or how he totally finished all his big kid food before eating any of his mints
but the other lies??
they could be literally anything
we know tails is willing to kill if needed (tails's adventure)
and there's also that big ass wanted sign (i thiiiink sonic riders??? i don't really remember, i'll look it up in a minute) (i was wrong, it's sa2)
and he's literally an enemy of the state (archie comics)
this kid is fully willing to do just about anything
though thinking about it, one of those lies could definitely tie into his whole gambling thing
he got banned from a casino for counting cards, he's probably done much worse and was just never caught
hell, one of those lies may even go back to when he was on westside. we know the villagers didn't like him, it's definitely possible he lied once or twice to keep himself safe
like, on a surface level, hearing a kid say they've only told 3-4 lies doesn't really strike a nerve or anything. it's a kid being a kid, nothing to worry about right?
yeah well, not when that kid is a literal fucking genius
the fact we will never know what those lies are somewhat scares me because they could genuinely be anything
if tails sets his mind on something, he will get it, usually no matter what it takes
and honestly, the fact he's only told 4 in total is also slightly terrifying because
the kid is honest as can be almost all the time
so how are we supposed to know when he lies?
he had everyone fooled in the takeover, who's to say he hasn't fooled all of us before
i definitely wouldn't put it past him, being the genius he is and all
wow hope you don't mind getting a lengthy reply LMAO im not sure what you were expecting, so sorry if you wanted me to keep it short i just-
i read into a lot of things that i really probably shouldn't, it's easy for me to get lost in talking about it 💀
but hey, if you have anything you want to add on please feel free to
and im sorry if i didn't answer this in the way you were hoping for, some times i read questions wrong and go in a completely different direction then what i was asked to 😭😭
#i need to stop talking help#this is getting too lengthy for an ask about a twitter takeover#i read too much into the dumbest shit i swear#miles tails prower#tails the fox#sonic the hedgehog#sth#sonic twitter takeover

The timing of Pat Casey's news fits perfectly, as almost a year ago we learned what Shadow considers to be his most memorable adventure at the end of the fifth Twitter Takeover
AWK! DARLIN’!🥺👏🥺
The 5th Twitter Takeover was fantastic! I loved it so much (in my opinion, it was the best one. Sue me😜). Let me tell y’a—it was great to receive some sort of closure for SA 2’s ending with Shadow’s memorable adventure. It was very noble of him. A great reminder on who he is.
Love y’a, Shadow!

Have you ever unfollowed someone over a fandom opinion?
No. I would only unfollow someone if they're being extremely unreasonable, and their asshole behaviour is escalating.
Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?
*looks over at Sonamy*
I was always indifferent to it, but the sheer spectacle made over it has made me beyond sick of it. In fanworks, Sonic is often made OoC for the sake of the ship, or his side of the matter in general is an afterthought at best, because it's said that Amy deserves his love because "she's earned it". They'll waste valuable question time on the Twitter Takeovers over Sonamy stuff. If Sonic and Amy are onscreen together for even a moment, no matter what it is they're actually doing, everyone will hail it as proof of Sonamy. And of course, they'll go crazy when they actually do tease it, using it to shut everyone else up because "Sonamy is Canon, deal with it", even if that teasing is incredibly minor and fated to never go anywhere.
It's a weird feeling looking at all the Sonamy VS Sonally wars over the decades, and not giving a solitary fuck about either of them. And yes, this was already the case long before a certain cardinal sin was initiated on my end. *coughs over horse noises in the background*
Has fandom ever made you enjoy a pairing you previously hated?
Can't think of any.
Unpopular opinion about XXX character?
Sonic: I'm sick of people going one extreme or the other with him. He's not Mr. Principles, nor is he completely selfish to the point of only helping others for his own enjoyment. And I especially dislike when fans misinterpret his role in Black Knight and use it to claim that he's a full on anti-hero. No, he's a legit hero and good person who just so happens to enjoy what he does rather than adopting the usual superhero mantra, and has to make the occasional tough decision for the good of the long run for everyone. What's hard to get about that?
Tails: "I'm wildly inconsistent" does not count as fixing him. Neither does repeating the exact thing that Forces!Tails got slack for to an even more inexcusable extent.
Knuckles: The idea that he tries to see the good in people despite his standoffish nature is fascinating to me, and it's a shame that it's only been brought up for the sake of making him look stupid when he falls for another one of Eggman's tricks. It'd be nice if this got delved into more, in a way where it doesn't screw him over for once… Just don't turn him into Principles the Echidna.
Amy: Like @colony-drop-program, I recognize the… importance(?) of Amy's crush on Sonic, but I find all her other traits infinitely more intriguing.
I also wish people would remember Tails was the one who actually blasted his way through Prison Island. It's become common for fans to give Amy all the credit for that one.
Bean and Bark: Not that I'm super invested in them or anything, but I suppose it'd be nice if they got more opportunities to be the good guys they were intended to be rather than always being pigeonholed with Fang as the Hooligans thanks to Archie. Fang strikes me as a loner type anyway.
Shadow: I don't think I'll ever be on-board with him officially joining G.U.N. I'm fine with him forgiving them, and maybe having a connection of some sort with them afterward, but being a full-on agent himself? I dunno man. After his long life as Gerald and Black Doom's tool, I'd rather he carve out a future where he can be truly free, without needing to answer to any superior.
Rouge: She's not a villain. She's not a villain. She's not a villain. She's. Not. A. Villain.
The entire point of her role in SA2 is that, oh shit, she was only pretending to be on the bad guys' side, and ever since SA2, she's been a loyal ally to Shadow and helped out the other heroes with little hesitance on multiple occasions. She may be a jewel thief, she may have her rivalry with Knuckles, but she's proven time and time again that she's a far better person than most people and comic writers give her credit for.
Cream: I've seen some Amy fans hate on her for supposedly stealing some of Amy's traits, but that's a disservice to her. You can have more than one character in a franchise with similar traits, since they can be explored from different angles. Compare this to a character like Eggman Nega, who really is nothing more than a leech who requires the real Eggman to be split in half in order to seem more impressive.
Silver: Of the many reasons why I'm not interested in him, one is that his schtick gets old very quickly. There's always something to turn his future into yet another Bad Future, and after a while it becomes comical how often his efforts to avert one catastrophe and make a Good Future get revoked by the following catastrophe. Combine that with how he has actual friends in the present, and he might as well just stay in the present full-time and kill two birds with one stone… but then fans would complain about him losing something special to him. Cue frustration.
Also, fans can insist all they want that Silver trusting Mephiles was due to sheer desperation, but until they release the Snyder Cut of '06 where this is actually shown, it's nothing more than a headcanon. You can explain writing fumbles with headcanons, but you can't defend them with headcanons.
Elise: She's not a bad character. Underdeveloped, yes, but the hate she receives is largely exaggerated.
Marine: Her accent annoys me far less than Bunnie's. *mic drop*
Eggman: This notion that he needs to be softened up in order to be fleshed out is ironically a shallow one. He was fine the way he was. There's more than one way to expand on a villain.
Also, he shouldn't be underestimated just because he's a human instead of a god, a demon, an alien, etc. Bowser is an overgrown turtle who can breathe fire when all is said and done, and he still came close to conquering the universe on two occasions. If Bowser can do great things, so can Eggman.
Metal Sonic: It's possible to explore his identity crisis without making him turn traitor. If anything, him staying devoted to the guy who is the real Sonic's arch-nemesis adds an extra compelling layer to his insanity.
Lyric: I actually like his design? Yeah, he's still a crap villain and another one to throw onto the Fucks Eggman Over pile, but his design is at least more interesting than Mephiles the Druggie and Dark "Waiter, There's An Eyeball In My Taco" Gaia.
Infinite: Even if he was meant to be played completely seriously, and the idea of him being parodic to at least some degree isn't actually true, he's still a better maybe-parody of tryhard villains than either Scourge or Surge.
Sage: While Eggman using her for his own ends is preferable to him genuinely caring for her, the mere idea and circumstances of her character is something I'm very opposed to. I just don't like anything that could even vaguely be fitted into the role of Eggman's Bowser Jr, because no matter how it's presented in canon, fans will reduce Eggman to little more than Sage's father regardless. And I'm forced to see a shitton of "wholesome" family bonding regardless.
It doesn't help that beyond her relationship with Eggman, she doesn't have a whole lot of character anyway. The Heavies had more character in Mania, and they had no dialogue whatsoever. Black Doom arguably had more character, because at least with him, I can remember that he doesn't know what lightning is.
The Egg Bosses: They don't work. There is no reason why Eggman would forgo his robots in favor of anthros who, despite his ways of keeping them under his control, still talk back at him, something that the doctor has consistently been known to hate. Eggman having one organic right-hand as the Lefou to his Gaston is fine (like Starline or Agent Stone), but anything more than that just feels wrong IMO.
Tangle: Out of all the IDW-exclusive characters bar pre-Flynned Starline, Tangle is the one I'd be willing to give a chance if she were in something where her characterization wasn't exaggerated to the point of having room temperature IQ. I like the basic concept going on with Tangle, with her being well-intentioned but just a tad overeager for her own good, so I feel kinda sorry for how hard she got flanderized. Compare that to many other characters exclusive to this comic, who I instead wish would just fuck off and never return.
Starline: YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE. IT WAS SAID YOU'D SIMP FOR THE DOCTOR, NOT USURP HIM. CAST ASIDE THIS TIRED CLICHE, NOT FOLLOW IT TO THE LETTER. *cries like Ewan McGregor*
Surge: If a character has been shoved in my face relentlessly as the central focus of a character study for over a year, yet I feel as though I know nothing about who they really are by the time it's concluded, I'm gonna say that character might not be very good.
Mario: I cheered when he appeared at the end of the second movie, but why Chris Pratt?

Sorry to bother you with this i love all your takes except the shadow ones </3 but speaking of him and not even as being my fave but "blorbo in law" i have to disagree and defend him. Personally as an only game enjoyer i think his character hasn't been butchered like people say at least in the games except for forces(with the infinite thing), by contrast in all the other sonic media (that sega hasn't confirm canon btw)yeah there i can clearly see the butchery and occ moments and also a lot of misinformation due to his popularity that is exaggerated that has created a distorted version of him, maybe your dislike and desinterest of him has to do more with the fans and fanon perception influence? And the fact that with his polularity he is bound to be shoved everywhere, cuz to me the distorsion about his character comes from fans and outside sonic media that are not the games.
Also it's kinda funny and not a coincidence to me your love for gerald(not that he isn't interesting but come on he didn't love shadow, that was his creation and possession to help and save maria, yeah it is a complex relationship with affection for his creation but not love)(and i can never side with the doctor frankestain archetype as a good guy) and dislike for shadow lol fhdh Anyway those are my two cents trying to see it from a more neutral position✌excuse my english
hm.
1) it’s true i fucking HATE fanon shadow. people scrape off all of his interesting personality bits to make him more palatable and shippable. often they just make him exactly like knuckles but with More Trauma and slightly Angrier and that annoys the hell out of me.
2) it is also true that i hate the marketing they do with him. i hate the sonic twitter takeovers with him. and i HATE how he’s just often shoved into places where he shouldn’t have been (ie sonic colors & sonic frontiers twitter takeovers. he wasn’t IN THOSE GAMES. why is he THERE). they’re using him as a markability tool and little else and that’s honestly a huge disgrace.
3) my main issue with game shadow and other versions of him is that i just don’t like the direction they took with his character, at the very least lore wise. i think he should have stayed dead. sa2 was a narrative best self contained. the whole amnesia plot line was fucking stupid considering sa2 was ABOUT discovering shadow’s past. why have him forget it. the alien thing is fucking hilarious but also objectively kinda dumb as well. they brought shadow back from the dead and didn’t have a cohesive story for him because his arc was already solidified in sa2 and they just. keep repeating that arc over and over again, of him being Mad and then remembering Maria’s promise and then becoming Normal. because they want to keep shadow as sonic’s edgy rival without giving him a good enough reason to be. boom & forces are the worst examples of this. that’s my main issue with him. they don’t know what to do with him- his story is basically over with but they keep bringing him back over and over for no reason.
4. there’s honestly not that much evidence to support that gerald DIDNT love shadow. he literally gives shadow a soul based on maria in sonic battle. he cheers shadow on to destroy the black arms in shadow the hedgehog 2005. i really do think that gerald did love shadow, which makes it a whole other layer of tragedy for gerald to decide his hate for humanity outweighed his love for shadow and altered his memories to destroy the world. im just not fond of the narrative that gerald never loved shadow and only thought of him as an object when i don’t particularly think that’s true. i think it erases a whole level of nuance to both gerald’s character and shadow’s frustrations. he loved you but that wasn’t enough.
5) you’re welcome to your own opinions but like. can people stop telling me im wrong. you literally don’t have to defend him to me.
#i just think they should have let shadow stay dead at the end of sa2 i don’t think they’ve done too much that’s particularly compelling#to warrant him to stay alive#sonic battle & 06 were fantastic and i don’t mind his stuff in sonic rivals#but after that i think there was a big shift to make him a more Generic EdgyRival#which just. completely throws away what made him likeable in the first place. he WASNT a generic rival#that’s what made him interesting#anyway.#master emerald brothel

So I just watched the new Sonic Drone Home short on YouTube, and, well, two thoughts popped into my head while I was watching it...
One of them was, "aww, this is so cute and wholesome", and the other one was "oh fuck, that reminds me... I still haven't finished writing my Sonic Movie 2 review yet..."

Now I'm genuinely curious as to where Shadow was during the events of Sonic Frontiers
Perhaps this year's Sonic Twitter Takeover event could elaborate further on that...? 👀

What Ruined Shadow: The Downfall of an Amazing Character
Introduction
Greetings, mortals! Today, I will be analyzing Shadow's peak characterization in the Adventure/Dark Era and the steady decline in the Meta Era.
During this analysis, I will explain how Shadow went from being a likeable, well written and relatable character in the 2000's, to a truly detestable character in the 2010's.
I will focus mainly on Shadow's characterization in the games, since I haven't watched the animated Sonic shows in a long time (I will make it a point to rewatch them all eventually though), and my knowledge of the comics is limited at best, but from what I've read of the comics, Pre-Reboot Archie Shadow's characterization is really good, Reboot Archie Shadow is just as much of a piece of shit as the Boom/Pontaff version of the character is, and IDW Shadow, while he's not exactly as bad as he is in Reboot-Archie/Meta Era/Boom, I still hate how stupid he can be sometimes, and that really showed in the Zombot arc.
I haven't watched Sonic X in a long time, but from what I remember, Shadow's portrayal in the show was similar to that of his game counterpart. As for Boom Shadow... I'll explain my stance on him later.
Anyway, let us begin! ^^
Shadow's Four Game Arc
Shadow is the only character in the Sonic series I know of whose character arc happened over the course of four games, starting with SA2 and ending in 06.
In SA2, Shadow believes he is destined to exact revenge on humanity for killing his best friend, Maria, but then the memory of Maria's true wish (to protect humanity) made him realize the error of his ways, so he sacrifices himself to save humanity from the ARK falling towards Earth.

My #1 post of 2022
Here's some interesting things I found out about Sonic Prime's voice cast:
• Tails is voiced by Ashleigh Ball, who you may recognize as the voice of Rainbow Dash and Applejack from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
• Amy is voiced by Shannon Chan Kent, who made a brief cameo as the Roadhouse Waitress in the first Sonic movie
• Dr. Eggman is voiced by Brian Drummond, who voiced Knuckles in Sonic Underground back in 1999
• Shadow and Big share the same voice actor (Ian Hanlin)
