Shadow the Hedgehog: Real-Time Fandub (REACTION)

never before has my channel icon been so appropriate.
this fandub was really something special. i had a wonderful time watching it, and got several repeat laughs during editing, which is how you Know it's good. make sure you give the original creators some love, and leave a like and comment while you're there! and hey, maybe subscribe while you're at it.
you can also do that here but shh. we don't like to talk about it.
go watch the original video! • Shadow the Hedgehog | ...

The concept of referring to black doom as shadow’s dad sent me wild. Shadow has two dads who were platonic parents, a lizard brother and is technically Eggman’s cousin by that logic.

[@duscarasheddinn8033]

In the actual game, Black Doom could be considered Shadow's *biological* father. If so, then Shadow would see the rest of the Black Arms as half-siblings. Speaking of Eggman, since Gerald was the granddad of both him and Maria, online sources say Gerald's two grandchildren are cousins. Which is probably better than Eggman being Maria's brother.

Gerald is eggman's grandfather actually so shadow is his uncle

[@Kaltsit-]

The reason he says “adultery” and also says “he thinks I’m a perver because I pissed on his wife” is because in the Sonic Adventures 2 fandub, Eggman was basically just sht on the entire time for no reason. Literally was stuck in a place for 3 years and came back to find team furaffinity took his wife from him.

I forgot that he was stuck underground for years 😭 Never thought I’d say this, but maybe Eggman was right to call Shadow out

[@Lotselance]

7:04 you'll be pleased to hear I started playing this game just to find out what the HELL the actual story is after watching the fandub. Like with the other fandubs I could kind of figure out what the original story was supposed to be, but with this one I was just completely nuts lol

[@monkeyofchaos1268]

"Is this guy Saten?" "No that's shadows biological dad." So from what I'm hearing Shadow father is the Devil

[@GnostalgicMnemonic]

I think the SnapCube fandubs have single-handedly managed to made me a Sonic fan, even though I know nothing about the series outside of the fandubs and some meme streams. This fandub is honestly really *really* impressive to me, in terms of how they managed to create a tight plot with solid themes and motifs that also probably tie into the actual canonical Sonic characterization (Canon!Shadow probably being pulled in all sorts of directions and not really knowing how to define himself outside of the expectations of others vs Fandub!Shadow's having to define himself against the projections and parasocial role he's been placed in, time loops and incongruent memories as a metaphor for trauma/dissociation/depression, etc.) I think it's up there with the Until Dawn fandub in terms of "writing". The editing and greater focus on individual characters probably helped a lot here, but good god pulling something like that off in around an hour of improv is kinda ridiculous. also the Final Haunt rap is a serious banger

[@connorsmith4319]

Regarding why there was the whole time loop thing going on, the game had multiple different routes depending on how good or evil Shadow is. The fandub showed all the routes by saying its a timeloop, which I find pretty impressive in how well they pulled the whole thing off!

[@fosterglucose3214]

That's literally how I became a dragonball fan, exclusively from Team four stars parody videos. Funny how that works.

[@ma.2089]

I’ve learned a lot more about sonic through the series as well. I’m also glad that some ppl could better explain jokes since, for example, I missed the “long time, no see” line in all the sonic games. Many jokes get better in reference to the OG series

[@GnostalgicMnemonic]

@@ma.2089 Yeah like TBH I _do_ have a little foreknowledge from Lythero's streams of SA2 and Shadow (and DBFZ, weirdly enough), so it was kinda cool to see how the multiple-paths thing translated over. Alfred makes little cameos on the sonic streams there as well and it's really interesting to see lines get workshopped and then come back in full form in the fandubs - Eggman's comment about his mustache being made of grass originated in one of those streams actually. Also, for those who don't know, Tail's voice glitch at the end there (having the same voice filter as Satan's high-intelligent and verbose dog) wasn't actually from the recording! It was a rendering/processing error that Penny couldn't figure out how to fix no matter what she tried - apparently editing and exporting the thing was a nightmare. A highly enjoyable nightmare for us viewers.

@@onearmedbandit84 there’s a page about it on the real time fandub wiki, I’d go get/find a link but the last time I tried the website wouldn’t load. More or less Amy/Knuckles (forgot their name) and Tails/Rouge (Blue) were pretty toxic or abusive, potentially even sexually harassing their co-workers, someone even used the term grooming in a different comment thread. Anyways after shit was hitting the fan and spreading among the masses and it was all going up in flames, the two of them split from clown house and stole a fuck ton of money on the way out. Anyways this puts a few of their dub lines in a very different light, especially SA2 hero story’s Amy line “one too many times is not enough”, which y’know… **the lion sleeps tonight begins to play.**

It's just always nice to look at someone having fun watching something you like with the same level of understanding of all the cool references and appreciate the voice acting and improv skills of the people involved in the project. I don't really get that when I show people one fandub and they just react to that one thing on it's surface level.

in a way, black doom is kind of the devil. he’s the leader of a bunch of fucked up and evil aliens which are kinda demons a little bit. so he’s the devil and shadow’s dad if you think about it. I like to believe that the devil is shadow’s dad in the fandub canon too because it makes it funnier to me. He’s in a parasocial relationship with his own son. and black doom literally doesn’t tell shadow about it in most of the endings so it’s also in character

In the original, Black Doom literally has a form called Devil Doom. But if he is the Devil, then Shadow is the Antichrist. But if he is the Antichrist, then he is Adam Young from Good Omens. Raised well enough to say nah to that shit and scream "you're not my dad!".
