Preferring the originals is considered the contrarian option.

Really. Thought people hated the new tracks.
Wait, which tracks are we counting as original? lol
Lucas the Dreamer
The tracks from the original Genesis version of Sonic 3.
Why waste time when you can see the last sunset last?
So the MJ tracks?

Okay.
The replaced songs are actually beta version originally. That's where I was confused
Sonic x Shadow Generations is getting an animated short on Shadow called Sonic x Shadow Generations: Dark Beginnings!
Watch it as part of a panel on Anime Expo 2024 featuring Takashi Iizuka, Kirk Thornton, and Stephanie Sheh on July 6, 2024 at 3:30pm EST/12:30pm PST.
Have questions by 05/31 for a chance to have them answered at the panel!

Wow. I don't think it's too much of a stretch to think Sheh will voice Maria in this short right?
…That might actually be the plan.

That seems to be the only possible role for her in this context. The only other role she's had with the franchise is as Zeena.

Now a lurker. See you at the forums.
Shadow will meet Zeena everyone!
Kidding.
I knew a new animated short was happening. Can't wait.
To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.
I mean, the only other thing I can think of is that Sheh voices a soldier from G.U.N. or human that learns of Shadow's past through a briefing or something, on the chance that Maria appears and is silent. Or hell, both, and the G.U.N. soldier reminds Shadow of Maria.
I might be grasping.

Interesting that the implication seems to be Maria being in the short. And also that they aren't giving any indication who Black Doom will be voiced by.
I'm sorry Tien, but I must go all out.
I mean... it could actually be Zeena. Probably not, but it'd be funny. Aren't the Deadly Six all like hundreds of years old? They pre-date Shadow, chronologically.

I prefer the MJ tracks as well, but I wouldn't consider it contrarian.
YO. Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie.
