When it said Sonic’s true love I recognized everyone and then I realized WHY IS SHADOW ON THE THUMBNAIL

wow this dude does NOT know what he's talking about

Wait, so AI is starting to do KZbin videos too? Huh. That’s crazy

Call me crazy but i liked elise. She could've been better written

they really decided to not acknowledge these comments pointing out the misinformation and keep the video up 💀💀💀💀

5:53 yeah, werk it sally, she fr set the score for blue Taylor Swift! YAS!

I was just literally playing SA on the Xbox Series X. Unfortunately, as much as I love the game, I couldn't handle the bad controller and the bad camera angels

Uncle Chuck raised Sonic as his own son.

“Nobody used the VMUs” Homie…..🤨

SHADOW! WHY IS HE THERE!!

Shadow the Hedgehog is not a good game. It's not a polished game. But, it sure is a funny game. Honestly, the game felt so much like a parody of Sonic the Hedgehog that I ended enjoying it way more than I should have. The absurdity of a midget hedgehog riding on a motorcycle and getting into shootouts with the military is so outrageous that I just couldn't look away. A lot of cry-sob moments in this game because of how seriously the game took itself. No wonder this game sold >2 million units. Also, Silver wasn't edgier than Shadow. He was just stupider. He's like that one jackass that'll believe every stupid conspiracy theory that exists because someone told him so. That's why he didn't end up as popular. Although it remains to be seen whether Sonic 3 the Movie will end up as popular as Mario Bros the Movie, Shadow's starring in what'll probably end up a big blockbuster movie. Hell, he's being played by Keanu Reeves! WTH does Sega do with Silver? That guy's like Waluigi at this point. He's there, but not relevant anymore.

I really enjoyed Shadow's character arc in SA2. At the beginning of the game, he's practically best friends and a pet to Dr. Robotnik. The 2 of them are like 2 peas in a pod, and I can't get over the absurdity of a big, ugly mad scientist and an adorable, angry hedgehog wreaking havoc on the world together while Sonic has to clean up their mess. However, by the end of the game, Shadow not only abandons his loyalty to Dr. Robotnik, but also becomes a sort of friend to Sonic by the end of the game. SA2 has the best portrayal of Shadow in the entire series, although Sonic Battle comes in a close 2nd place. Unfortunately, outside of SA2 and Sonic Battle, Shadow would never get a character arc this satisfying again. He gets amnesia after bashing his head against the ground from falling from space, thereby undoing any of the development he went through in SA2. He turned into a "I'm better than you, Sonic, and I'm a cool, dumb jerk who wants revenge on the world" type of character throughout Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog. In Sonic 2006, he's working as a secret agent for the same government that murdered his caretaker, Maria, and he has a major beef with some demon that resembles a carbon copy of him. In short, I don't even know WTF he was in Sonic 2006. Now, Shadow is arguably the 2nd most important character to Sonic. Had Sonic Team wiped Shadow out of the series after SA2, I don't know how the Sonic series would've progressed without him. Sonic is the protagonist of the series, of course, but Shadow's his co-star. Technically, Tails is Sonic's co-star, but it's really Shadow. Look at how much bloody fan art and fan fiction starring Shadow are out there floating across the internet. That dude became so popular that he more or less dictated how the series would continue, and, by this point, he's been in Sonic the Hedgehog games for almost 80% of the series' existence. Silver, Blaze, Infinite, etc never appealed to players the way Shadow did. Even Metal Sonic was eclipsed by him. But, at the end of the day, I could see that Sega really didn't know how to write Shadow after SA2's ending. With all that said, I hope the 3rd Sonic the Hedgehog movie does an even better job than SA2 & Sonic Battle did at portraying Shadow, especially given that Keanu Reeves is playing Shadow's voice. A movie in which the dude from The Matrix and Speed plays a cartoon hedgehog is a movie I can't miss.

If theres a movie about the development of sonic adventure, the post credit scene will be the developers looking over San Francisco which would become the first stage inspiration for the sequel lmao

Fun fact: Amy's full name is actually Amelia Rose The Hedgehog, but was shortened to Amy Rose!

They had to know what they were doing here

Blockbuster was so known to us growing up that still to this day when I see a place that replaced a blockbuster location but still kept the same sign, you see that sign shape and go "hey, this used to be a blockbuster"

The main word for today is BLACK

Shadow does not count.

Bad video

Oh here we go. Now all the comments are gonna mention the fact that shadow is in the thumbnail

Elise isnt in games anymore prob cuź amy beat her to death after that

Bro left out Mina Mongoose and Fiona Fox

That’s cool and all but… WHY IS SHADOW IN THUMBNAIL

Nice review of the topic. A few things I would add: We can hardly call Amy Rose a real love interest, because Sonic does NOT want to date her. I don’t understand why so many fans don’t get that. For over two DECADES, Sonic has had a look of terror in his eyes when he sees Amy coming, because he does NOT want this affection from her. He can see her good traits, and knows she’s a strong ally in emergencies, but once that emergency is over, she goes back to being a creepy stalker trying to force her way into a relationship with Sonic, and he is not about that. Thank heavens she calmed the fuck down for Frontiers. It should never have taken so long. I don’t understand why people were so upset about that kiss with Elise. I don’t agree with the pairing only because of the weird writing for them; I feel like Sonic was toned down too much to be a specific fit for Elise. Had their characterizations been different, who knows. The whole bestiality thing has no value here. Sonic is human enough that it doesn’t count as that, and at least there was mutual affection in this situation. Plus we all know that there a tons of fans that would give their right arm to have sex with Rouge. So yeah, can't play that card here. I was never able to keep up with the Archie continuity. I knew that over such a long run that things got complicated (I’m sure there are videos going deeper into it around, I just never cared enough to look). Never knew Bunny had been an option. It’s a little strange, but I can also see it working if done right. Along with the trend of human girls as a love interest, there also seemed to be this cat girlfriend thing going on behind the scenes. Tiara was mentioned, and there was also Honey the Cat from a different canceled game that was going to be a love interest. There is shipping fuel with Blaze at the end of Sonic Rush, but it’s left very open to interpretation. (Though in the IDW comics, I’ve seen screen shots where there is at least a crush on her end, and Sonic seems to like her company WAY more than Amy.)

Chill out on Biggs fishing. Japanese games before and many after SA have had fishing mini games or segments,yet no one cares. But SA does it and its considered a mistake? Lol ok

Someone once said that Metal Sonic is the best rival for Sonic. But i don’t think that. I think Shadow is the best rival of the series. Shadow stands in opposition to Sonic in every way. Even in Sonic 06 where he went full ally and hero, as Sonic was fighting for freedom, Shadow opted to become a government secret agent and fight for order.

Just a bit of a correction. Sally appeared in the rebooted archie comics, not in the Idw comics, although a lot of the team from the rebooted archie comics ended up carrying over too the idw comics. All of this stuff is really confusing if you aren't into the comics, so I understand the confusion!

Lmao the gameplay of Sonic Extreme almost sounds like Sonic Frontiers lmao

"Pardon the gesture"

sigma alpha has a whole different meaning...

I love that Shadow’s in the thumbnail!!

Saw 3D wireframe model on Thumbnail and there's no discussion of modeling or topology lol. Very disappointed honestly.

Has anyone told you that your voice kinda sounds like the tpm vids guy?

I didn't know tails had a girlfriend at one point! Might be cool to see in an up coming game.

Forgot to comment on your last video so I'll comment twice on this video 👍

What makes this funny to watch is the fact that all the information is fucking wrong

Shiping is dumb and gay

Great video! Adventure 2 is my favorite Sonic game! It really feels like an early 2000s action flick, and thats one of the highlights for me. It’s a game I never played in my childhood, yet makes me very nostalgic as someone who grew up in the 2000s. Heroes was the first Sonic game I played. I loved it as a kid, but always made me wanting more, and Adventure 2 fills that gap perfectly. I just wish Sonic Team made Adventure 3 as an adaptation of the Metarex Saga. Also I noticed the Megaranger theme playing in the background. I'm a Sentai fan too! 😅

Funny how the comic version of sonic has like 4 different girlfriends and the game one doesn't even care

It’s best that Sonic doesn’t need a Love interest in the Games.

You seem to be confused about sonic and Sally's relationship In the archie comics so here's a summary. Sonic and Sally Were childhood friends. Then they were in an "It's complicated" thing for a while, Till issue 123 where they finally made it official. However soon after, Sonic gets sent across the galaxy and is presumed dead but shows up back home two years later. The two of them pick up where they left off for a bit. But after Sally sees Sonic almost die immediately after coming back, she trys to get sonic to give up the whole hero thing. Sonic tells her she's being unreasonable, she slaps him, and they break up in the infamous issue 134. Sally was later suppose to get married to Antoine but it turned out it wasn't actually Antoine, but an evil Antoine from another universe. Sonic stops the wedding with this info. Get the real Antoine back, who marries Bunny, whom he really loved. Sonic and Sally start dating other people, until issue 212 where they sort of get back together. Sally apologized for her actions in 134 and the two officially get back together a few chapters later. After that, Some stuff go's down. The Genesis wave happens, soft rebooting the comic, then the comic gets canceled. However if the mess with Ken Penders hadn't happened, chances are, "as indicated in the 30 years later story" The two of them would have got married and had two kids.

you silly silly boy, you thought you could sneak shadow into the thumbnail without anybody noticing. _tsk tsk_

23:43, what about sonic 1?

Love y’all rocketsloth

Why is shadow and the humans are on the thumbnail?

Alright ima give the diffenitive which characters would get that blue chili dog Games: no one he should be free and it should appeal to all ages Idw, Shows and Movies: Amy is the best option by far Archie and Classic Shows: it’s Sally and you can’t lie Twitter takeover/memes:Shadow aka the best paring if your 🏳️‍🌈

Is Chris Chan in there?

I would recommend using the original japanese stories of the games and not english ones i understand you maybe dont know japanese and that is why you dont use them but windii has translated lot of the japanese cutscenes. (unfortunately most of her videos were deleted but there are some repost i have made a playlist of most of the reposts.) but other than that good video. There are also a few retranslated mods you can use. And the voice acting is just way better.

"Sonic 3D blast"
