An rather unsuprising revelation by the Sonic Boom TV writers about Shadow

There is something deeply amusing about the mandates about him being so restrictive that the show ended up creating a parody that demonstrates how silly narrowly defined Shadow actually is. Flynn retweeting it is just the icing on the cake.

Shame Sega didn't get the message.

Does someone have a compilation of what these mandates are exactly? I find it weird that Sega had an issue with Shadow making jokes but were fine with turning him into a villain on Boom.

And since we're on the subject, Sonicsta did a ten-minute video about whether or not Shadow should have stayed dead after Adventure 2.

He sees the arguments for both options, but ultimately prefers Shadow alive.

I can see both arguments and frankly I'm not sure I would be able to come down on one side or the other.

Don't get me wrong, I love him, he's a cool dude, and his run up to 06 was... Not fantastic but alright, but at the same time his story could have ended in Adventure 2 and the franchise would've kept trucking.

His continued popularity long after SA 2 pretty much justifies his presence...even though none of those appearances after SA 2 have been anywhere near as good.

[up] (2) 1, I could hear him fine, 2, there are no other clips that I know of. 3, like [up] said, that's just early 2000's Sonic's games.

And 4, find one yo dang self.

You know, a good game would probably have competent sound mixing.

Tell that to Sonic Colors, Unleashed, Shadow, Heroes, Generations, Forces, Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, and Sonic R.

Do the other games have bad sound mixing? I only ever hear about adventure 1 and 2.

Anyway yea, the Executive Meddling in regards to Shadow is beyond stupid and I have no idea what Sega hopes to accomplish. You would think they want more writers to utilize one of their more popular characters, but no...

And we have a scenario where a secondary character somehow has more restrictions in use than the literal main character lmao. This fucking company.

Gonna be real interesting to see how the movie reinterprets him given Sega has no creative control there.

With luck, they won't reinterpret him all that much. They'll simply capture the core of the character while making him fit their new universe, not unlike Knuckles.

Adventure 1 doesn't have bad sound mixing...

Not even the bad version.

Yakuzu, it's gonna be an adaptation of Adventure 2. I doubt the movie staff needs to add anything to the original Shadow who was a villain. It's post-rebirth Shadow who gives everyone an issue.

This is the problem with zombies, smh

Movie 2 was an adaptation of Sonic 2 and 3, and that didn't stop them from slightly reinterpreting Knuckles a bit. I'm serious, Movie!Knuckles is such a large improvement over his video game self while still keeping the core of the character intact unlike what they did with Sonic. And best of all, they justify his continued presence past his introduction story arc by making him part of Sonic's family circle.

The result is that I really wish Movie!Knuckles was his canon self now. That's how much of an improvement it was.

That's why I'm curious on what they're gonna do with Shadow and they'll give him a similar treatment.

My guess, Adventure 2 adaptation with elements from his eponymous game, reinterpreted to fit the Earth context like in Sonic X.

Geek Critique video just dropped on Rush and pretty effectively points out how much of a focused Sonic game it was, especially for the time period.
