One thing I kinda always thought about when it comes to G.U.N was that they weren't in the wrong for trying to erase project shadow. Remember the Biolizard was created and caused massive issues on the station, Gerald made a covenant with aliens to make Shadow and he makes a massive gun out of the research station to destroy black doom. It's very easy to consider that this information leaked without context to the planet and G.U.N thought that Gerald had gone mad. It's very easy to go spooky government agency bad but I honestly think the tale is more tragic if it was caused by a misunderstanding. That everyone was still on the same side but they just lost sight of that. It also makes Shadow's eventual becoming a G.U.N agent in later games less awkward imo.

Question have you done a breakdown of Blaze the Cat?I can’t believe how I miss her and how amazing of an character she truly is love to hear your perspective when you have the time Thankies 😬

actually makes sense that solena is here in the void what with this from my understanding being places that were consumed by the time eater

Nice video, but I feel like nobody actually paid any attention to Eggman until Frontiers because the guy had plenty of vulnerable and humanizing moments in japanese media. More specifically, his relationship with Gerald is a lot more complicated than people notice; the guy was *heartbroken* to find out that dude went insane; even before ARK incident, his reaction to Eclipse Cannon was apprehensive, because he didnt expect THAT to be his grandfather's legacy, he HATED the revelation that Gerald would sell out Earth and his collegues for *research*. At the same time, hes jealous of Gerald, he considers him his rival, his legacy a shadow he's living in - "Grandpa was the best scientist of all time, but its MY era now" - and yet, Gerald is a ghost he has to live with. Consider the lines "aboard the ARK, the genius at heart" in his theme song - the song is all about how cool Eggman is, and yet suddenly starts talking about Gerald without any introduction or elaboration; Gerald is his *base code*. But then, why would he be appaled by Gerald's actions? Wouldnt Eggman like to have an evil predecessor? Well thats the big difference between american Robotnik and japanese Eggman. The japanese media repeatedly expressed that Eggman believes that what he's doing is for the greater good of all. Sonic Channel literally had a story where Eggman asks Sonic why he keeps stopping him from making a beautiful world. He *believes* hes not twisting or destroying anything, just bringing out the full potential of the world. Everything bad is just an afterthought, an acceptable price to pay. To him, he's literally just like Gerald fr except more efficient and way better morally because he wouldnt do anything bad for the heck of it. Why he keeps doing bad things then, like blowing up Station Square? Because hes delusional and childish and prone to hysterics. This hypocricy is literally a part of his character - he keeps calling Gerald "mad scientist" and Amy specifically points out "pot meet kettle". Deem Bristow said the line completely wrong as though hes complimenting Gerald, and I think the localization of ShadowTH straight up threw out the line, which is why people unfamiliar with japanese script miss it too. As for him being somber and sad after Sage's disappearance - yeah I could imagine that very well because it literally happened twice in Sonic X 3rd season - hes somber after Molly's death and very sorrowful because of Cosmo's sacrifice. Theres actually quite a few scenes like that in X. Sage changes nothing. He's gonna keep loving his daughter, hate his enemies like usual, and try to create utopia like he always did.

The only thing I hope for at this point is that the game explains (in universe) his character shift from the 2000's to the 2010's/beyond. Because all the supplemental suff that we've got recently, like you said, just doesn't feel right for his character (the exception being The Murder Of Sonic) and honestly, I don't have much faith that they'll fix it. Also, in the last Twitter Takeover Eggman mentioned he toppled and took down GUN, i wonder if they're going to do anything with that

Was i the only one who kept refreshing the steam page for that pre order button after the trailer? lol

I see what you’re saying, Ace and I agree with it, except the part about seeing Team Dark for the last time since I saw plenty of that in the IDW comics, especially in that Metal Virus Saga. Rouge was like Catwoman. Like Selina, there was more to her than just being a quick-witted thief that batters everyone around like rubber balls. The moment she formed the team, she has turned over a new leaf. Instead of looking out for herself, Rouge now fights for others alongside Shadow and Omega in the front or sidelines. Looking from this, I now see that she brought them the one thing that both guys had lost before meeting her: a purpose. Without her, Omega would still be Eggman’s lackey who has to put up with his BS and Shadow could’ve lost himself entirely from his identity crisis after Sonic Heroes. Like you, I prefer the actress who voiced her in Sonic X and 06 because that defined her as a character who became a faithful friend in the end. With Ian Flynn becoming the official writer for the main games of the franchise, there’s no doubt that he’ll do Rouge the Bat justice like he did for everyone else so far. Believe that.

Tails has come a long way since his debut in 1992. Throughout most of the series, he has been viewed as Sonic’s sidekick or his right hand man whenever the situation requires a little more support, either physical or mental. When he started out on his own along the way, he started to see what Sonic saw in him: a bright boy who just wants to do great things and above all, follow his example of being a fighter with a heart of gold. The forms of media I have seen such things were in Sonic X, the IDW comics, Sonic and Tails R and of course, Sonic Frontiers. It’s normal that he’s still unsure of himself by the occasions when he falls back because underneath that intellectual exterior, he’s still a child that needs guidance and given how his upbringing was, Tails is very fortunate to have someone who will give him the push into the right direction and be surrounded by those who love and care about him. As long as he has them in his heart, he’ll never lose his way and rise up to be the hero of his own story. 💛🦊

To be honest in episode 3&4 I was checking my phone 📱 because I was so bored 😴 just waiting for something to actually happen

I wlways thought the light rings in Death Egg were Robotnik's attempts to buy more time. Like they're meant to waste time. Maybe used to transport things around the zone, but then repurposed and rerouted to buy himslef some time.

Sonic 3 has to really sell the emotional moments like this. Like Guardians Vol 3 levels of tear shedding.

Ah yes shadow rouge and R O B O M A N

18:38 what do you mean three times? You think it's going to happen in Sonic X Shadow Generations?

18:16 the Sonic movies are kids movies and they're also made for general audiences but hopefully they have the balls to do this part.

16:27 Shadow will bring TOTAL DESTRUCTION!!!

6:51 Sea of Stars music used

I agree that this is the opportunity for Sega to return back to to Shadow’s roots, and what made him a great foil to Sonic among the cast. He’s compelling in many ways, but he is more than an edgy, Vageta knock off. Not quite sure about Shadow’s voice, maybe I’m biased to Griffith. But I’m looking forward to this return to form. For Shadow, and the rest of the cast fundamentally.

while KIRKS voice still sound BAD i have FAITH in the writing!!!

Rouge is important cause she's awesome, and she's hot.

What is that background music?

"Wait Time Eater is Mephiles?" "Always has been."

It means nothing. He's been reset, that's all. They put down the shovel but denied him a ladder.

Holy cow. I love watching reviews and retrospectives for this game, but yours just matches that excitement and fondness I've always had for this game. This is the game that pulled me into the series, one I have actual hundreds of hours in, and l've never once grown tired of it. You even share my perspective on most of the mech and treasure hunting stages! Everyone glosses over them, but that doesn't mean they aren't great! Thanks for an awesome video! Now, don't mind me as I grab my controller for another round of this awesome masterpiece...!

We need another shadow based game (not sxsg unless it is going to be what I think would work for. The team dark game) where the whole world turns on shadow except rouge and she has to remind omega later on or soemrhing

Being honest, I hope he'll get a Black Arm form like Devil Doom & it'll be a recurring thing (simply because the normal Super Form bored me, pls don't kill me, & overall an idea of every character having their own power-ups & transformations sounds really nice).

As someone who hasn't played frontiers yet, and someone who originally didn't like open worlds but has come around to them, would you recommend frontiers? Is it worth rhe money?

"Because I want this so much I can almost guarantee it won't happen" God I hate that this is always true with Sega... if they did what the fans wanted just once they'd accidentally make a billion dollars but I'm convinced they'd rather go under.

Between this and final horizon we might get back extra playable characters in future games

Team Dark is a truly beautiful team. And to think this team almost never happened at all. You see, in *Sonic Heroes* , they almost put Amy, Cream and Rouge together as a team. I can kind of see why. "Let's put the girl counterparts of Sonic, Tails and Knuckles together. They can have some fun interactions." To be honest, I wouldn't mind seeing that. It does sound very interesting. But... they decided to bring Shadow back, so they instead stuck Big in with Amy and Cream, had Rouge lead Team Dark, and create Omega from scratch. And it was a brilliant move. Rouge is the heart of the team, keeping Shadow and Omega in line, but also having a few shady deeds here and there. Shadow keeps everyone on the straight and narrow, as well as learning about what the Earth has to offer and learning to move on from Maria's death. Omega is fresh out of the workshop, and is keen to get revenge on his master, but becomes a loyal friend.

I think i'm just gonna go for the basic game since I just wanna play a shadow And I never played the original generations so there's that as well

I hope both sonic 3 movie and sonic x shadow generation will do shadow character justice done right and written well the many things I love about shadow and why he is one of my favorite character in sonic franchise that while he seemed dark cold stern ruthless merciless callous dour tough distant aloof apathetic stoic detached indifferent standoffish dead-serious no-nonsense anti-social distant quiet And solitary person he is actually a deep well-rounded multifaceted and complex individual who is more than just edgelord loner hardcore badass cold fish and male Ice queen he is actually caring selfless understanding and human (no pun intended) while he does appear to be a person with heart of ice and stone but in fact he has heart of gold even when he appeared to be lone wolf cynic realist grouch pragmatist and misanthrope that mainly due his backstory and past life due his only friend Maria the granddaughter of Gerald robontnik and cousin of dr eggman was killed by human soldiers during ark incident which explains his initial contempt for humanity

I barely have money for the per order for dragon sparking zero and now sega has a per order jeez I’m going to be in debt

20:37 I think this is a common misconception about Shadow's arc. Shadow said this when he and his teammates were about to dive into Eggman's fleet to confront him head-on. When you're about to enter a dangerous confrontation like that, it's hardly the time to dwell on your confusion about who you are. Shadow's simply putting his confusion aside for the time being, as facing Eggman takes priority. Once that confrontation was over and Shadow had time to kill, he could focus on his own problems without getting sidetracked by more important things. While this doesn't account for other problems in his game, it justifies the premise.

Use the word "wholesome" all you like. Frankly I'm tired of "iconic" being used too much since I think 2015; when studios stopped being creative and started spamming what 'people liked' in the past.

I hope we see Mephiles the Dark again.

I watched this movie recently.....but the ending of this movie is so terrifying

I love what they did with shadow and his stages but they could’ve done better for sonic and classic sonic and their stages and their models. I love it, but they could’ve just done a little better like give them the same hedgehog engine 2 What did they shadow and sonic frontiers models but they could’ve done better for sonic and classic sonic

1:03 I'm gon keep it a buck, I'd eat that thang so good I'd catch Covid

Shadow is a hero and I like him more than Sonic because he's relateable and real in his emotional acting. Where Sonic is this brave,pure and almost carefree hero,exactly this makes him unreal. Nobody is like that. Shadow one the other hand acts like a real person would do with all this shit that happend to him. It makes him feel real. Lots of heris from that older time are these perfect characters full of good intentions and always jumping into the fire for others. Beacons of light, like Mario,Sonic and Link. So yeah Shadow is the best writtin charakter in Sonic If you ask me.

I'm so glad he's coming back into the spotlight. What kinda annoys me is that now every one and their mother TH-camr suddenly starts streaming the his game: Shadow the Hedgehog. Before almost nobody cared about the game and the mainstream and hated it.But know Shadow is getting more attention again so TH-camrs start playing it for the views. It annoys me.

Shadow the Hedgehog was one considered to be the deuteragonist of the franchise.

Sega: (puts Green Hill in a game again) Sonic fans: 😡 Sega: (puts child murder scene in a game again) Sonic fans: this is some serious gourmet sh!t

Ohh boi am I hyped for this. I even ordered the collectors Edition for Switch in Japan, to get this cool Shadow Head figure <3.
