Archie Shadow smiled at Metal sonic before, telling him he could change It’s sad how some people mischaracterised shadow, and treated him as an edge lord with no compassion and love for the world, but in truth, he’s willing to give up fighting just to turn someone to the light side, and he’s thankful that someone once did that for him, and that person is sonic.

Considering how rough Shadow in Prime is, this is a considerably nice change of pace for me. He easily could've just continue to scold Sonic for being careless again, but actually helps Sonic. He acts like he's a know-it-all in Prime (at least to me), and doesn't realize that both of them had made mistakes in the past, like Shadow almost destroying the human race. But here, he swallows his pride and stoops to Sonic's level. *I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying!*

[@essycogany2738]

I love how you made their lines feel harsh yet natural. Sonic doesn’t really cry too much. I wonder if it was a little tricky to keep him in character despite that. I think Sonic getting emotional can work as long as it’s done tastefully and this dub is a GREAT example of that. 💙

I love this so much because it demonstrates exactly who Shadow really is. He's not Sonic's edgy dark counterpart who totes big guns and is too cool for feelings. He's a nuanced character who can be a bit tough to get along with sure, but he DOES care. And even if they bicker and fight a lot, he DOES genuinely care about Sonic. He's not angry with Sonic for failing; he's angry because Sonic never listens to him and this time it has genuinely devastating consequences that they just have to swallow. But once he sees just how much it's killing Sonic inside- once he sees that Sonic finally understands and doesn't just acknowledge his failure, but is hurting just as much as Shadow is- that's when all of his anger evaporates. Because Shadow's anger has always come second to his empathy for others.

[@jae6xr]

Even in canon Shadow has a soft spot over Sonic, if Sega could allow more realistic feelings in Sonic, I can imagine a possible scene like this. In Sonic Prime Shadow actually could've died trying to save Sonic, so in actions Shadow shows a lot! and Sonic tried to be funny and positive about save his "friends" to be betrayed. But Shadow stayed with him anyways.

[@GaGaJacksonSzpadox]

[@herokinemidouri]

Sonic in Sonic Prime is practically just different a lot of the time. And some people realize that but don’t put it together. Sonic has lost everything, completely but not at the same time. His home as green hill, his friends, Tails, Rouge, Knuckles, and Amy, even Big and Froggy, and he has a chance to bring it back but he’s wishing to do it peacefully and not by force. He’s losing it, because he was constantly told that he would probably fail by his own friends and those exact words really pushed his mental state. I like that this comic dub makes him seem more human, but it’s almost too human. But it makes sense. And that’s why I like it, Sonic doesn’t have to be this guy constantly smiling and racing to an end goal as fast as possible with no hesitation. He knows that his friends could probably be in danger, he wants to bring back his home and his friends, but he’s losing them, slowly but surely, so he’s stuck. And Shadow yelling is probably pushing him more but I like that shadow just embraces him rather than hitting him.

[@LuHiKi]

Yes! Someone that has that thought like i do :DD And yeah! You know what hits even harder? The fact he started all this, and all because he didn't hear his friends and proceeded anyway. Making one wrong move and all leading to this, sounds really hopeless if that was me :L

I feel bad for Sonic. Everyone is hard on him for being too trusting; however, I can understand.

[@SpectacleSpark]

Personally in general, I don't actually think I've ever seen sonic cry in media, or well, official media(?), showing some type of emotion for his friends other than his positive cocky self. At least to my knowledge. Personally I like seeing heroic characters who are mostly positive have situations like this, where for once instead of keeping his chill, he actually breaks down or has a panic attack due to a situation like sonics in. Relatably I'm someone who get's panic attacks easily along with anxiety attacks so this kinda comforted me.

[@r_t1609]

This dub is incredibly well done! The fact that ONE person managed to sound like two completely different characters, AND managed to an incredible job voicing a panic attack is insanely impressive. I really hope there's something even remotely similar to this at the start of season 3 because it would just make the whole situation seem a lot for real. Again, fantastic job!

[@NoHandle44]

This is exactly how I want season 3 to start. Minus the panic attack. I also imagine Sonic still making quips like has has before. But this time he does so as a coping mechanism over his trauma, instead of it being witty banter. I also imagine that Sonic all together stops making decisions for himself and instead follows everything Shadow tells him to do to the letter. Because he can't trust himself to make the right decisions. I usually don't like it when a charcter that's so happy is knocked down into deep depression, (See Ruby from RWBY Volume 9). But I think that this could work REALLY well for Sonic, as long has he keeps his "Can do" attitude, just with a more somber tone behind it.

[@Cari_Xiao]

You know, this actually has me stunned... Damn the emotions in the voice, the rage in Shadow's VA, the crying voice in Sonic's VA sounded all too real. And that hyperventilating sounded real as well. I could say I'm very impressed by how they voice acted this comic, it's makes a really good impression of Sonic about what would happen if he failed. I'm just AMAZED...

[@innocuousbrimstone]

This was genuinely painful to watch, but in a good way. Aka the voice acting and sound work was just so well done, that it really hit me right in the feels to the point of discomfort. The anger in Shadow's voice, the panic attack Sonic was going through... (And much kudos to the artist and the comic as well with the expressions!). Amazing work.

You know if you really think about it, Shadow might have some experience with this because of his trauma with Maria’s death. I know that he has terrible, painful flashbacks sometimes and maybe he does the same thing to calm himself down. He obviously knew what was happening to Sonic when he said “Don’t do that” and me personally, I wouldn’t recognize hyperventilating if I saw it/heard it. So he might have experience.

And you seriously cant blame for feeling like this because he made one big dangerous mistake by hitting the shard and have all his friends live in different multiverses which he tries to fix it the best he can, but then ends up making another mistake from trusting someone and making him feel so stupid because he shouldn’t listen to shadow.

[@blood_circus]

it hurts more when you’ve been in a situation similar to his…. I’ve had panic attacks like this before and it just…. It hits home for you.

Made me yell “SHADOW YOU SCRAGGLY OL' MAN DON'T DO THAT! He's still a kid. Help him, instead of taking your anger out on him. Boy needs a hug."

[@RiceCooker-san]

He just a kid who failed to do his one goal due to his over trusting nature and letting his guard down I don't blame shadow

These two are brothers and no one can convince me otherwise.

[@Starrmonster02]

No I agree with you they literally are brothers🖤💙

[@lavennderrz]

i agree w you.

[@Missy3940]

Exactly how I picture them.

I feel bad for sonic bro he doesn't deserve this, I mean he literally shattered his whole world and trying his best to fix it but bro... I think he had enough than more he could chew.

Game Sonic: Prime you're an idiot... Fleetway Sonic: *says something so mean and soul crushing I can't even type it* Archie Sonic: Prime Sonic you're a loser IDW Sonic: I understand your pain Movie Sonic: Oof..

I hope something like this happens in the beginning of Part 3 of Sonic Prime, cause the last scene we saw with Part 2 was that Sonic put his hands up to his face as if he was about to cry, and Idk, but to me, a scenario like this would be likely cause it would set the tone for Part 3.

The voice acting was AMAZING. The panic attack was so realistic! I loved it!

[@Ihavenoname_]

BROOOO whoever did the voice for sonic in this dub did such a good job on him having a panic attack/ hyperventilating!! Kudos 👏

[@MelodicSonneteer]

Sonic, the world needs you and feeling guilty of your mistakes won’t do anything. Just get up and keep moving on the possibility of you succeeding is you not giving up and ending yourself just for a trust issue. We all love you and Shadow, so keep going and there is a great chance we can make this adventure a happy ending for everyone and everyone :) Who agrees?

[@pipertate6777]

I agreed too this is not over it

[@noelialopez6750]

With ya there!✊
