[@Linator4]

@@erikolson4148That must certainly be a fun experience. I can’t recall if it was outright confirmed or not, but at the very least, the heavy rumor as soon as Shadow was teased was that Robotnik’s grandpops would be playing a huge antagonistic role in Sonic 3.

Shadow was originally well received. His debut was in Sonic Adventure 2 and yeh he was well received but then his solo game killed that hype for him and it's taken him decades to recover from that

[@happiestaku6646]

Only fake fans hated Shadow's solo game.

[@BlueberryWatermelon44]

@@happiestaku6646 it set up the stereotype that Shadow was some edgelord tho which makes me understand people's dislike to it but it's otherwise a fun game

[@darthvaderdylan]

@@BlueberryWatermelon44 Apparently, an interview with his creator states that he does not want shadow to be a hero

[@liger4414]

@@darthvaderdylan It's more so he wants Shadow to not be so 100% righteous like Sonic would be. Shadow is realistic. He's a hero, but he's morally gray. He will kill. Shadow will protect people because Maria wanted him to. But if you piss Shadow off and you prove you're not his friend, just kiss your ass goodbye. He doesn't normally give chances to people. He's very solo-oriented and isn't really here to make friends. Shadow in Adventure 2 is the true way Shadow is meant to be. All the stuff that came after was a result of his memory loss. That interview was his denial of Shadow being like Vegeta. But also, let's be real. He's saying this cause the Sonic creators always get accused of ripping off elements from Dragon Ball. Like the seven emeralds = seven dragon balls, super sonic = super saiyan, Sonic = Goku, Shadow = Vegeta, Silver = Trunks, the list goes on. So yeah, they'll say whatever to be like " do not associate us with dragon ball " cause otherwise Toei starts peaking.

[@Ghostel3591]

​@@darthvaderdylanwell creator actually meant that he doesn't want Shadow to become Idealistic Hero. He is a Pragmatist to Sonic's Idealist. Protagonist that is ready to go with Final solution if needed. Every Shadow's antagonist is either 9ft under (Black Doom) or was utterly humilated (Infinite) - that's the difference.

That one shot of Shadow slamming Sonic into the street is definitely a subtle reference to Matrix Revolutions when Smith slams Neo into the street, same shot angle and everything. Nice touch for Keanus involvement.

[@Gloriedso]

in the words of steven A Smith , This is EXACTLY what i’ve been waiting for 🙏🏽

[@rickyronny4019]

Shadow was standing on business 😂

[@davidsomoza]

Eggman and sonic teamed up in sonic adventure 2. Shadow debuted in that very game where he had a backstory related to losing his friend Maria who was the nephew of eggmans granddad Gerald Robotnik who was a scientist who created shadow. There were no shadow with guns on sa2. There's a ton of references in the trailer that you wong get if you havent played that game. For example,just before the "what have you done" part there is some kind of store with tons of chao memorabilia, the sonic during the second part of the trailer is a cover of the song "live and learn" from sonic adventure 2.

[@saltherisms]

If I'm not tripping, Maria was fully Gerald's granddaughter, and so was Ivo - they're cousins, Ivo is just younger. It's then reasonable to assume that the reason movie Ivo was orphaned (as he says in the first movie) was as a consequence of Gerald being deemed a traitor. At least that's my theory, I could be wrong, but it'd give some fun background to his upbringing.

[@JaidynReiman]

@@saltherisms Maria and Eggman were Gerald's grandchildren, yes. Maria was not Gerald's niece. As for cousins, though, that was literally never explained in any game until Sonic Frontiers, which finally made it clear that Maria was in fact Eggman's cousin.

Also, he clearly loves playing Eggman. He also probably likes working with the people who made the films.

[@isaakknight6673]

I mean, he did say he’d only return to acting if a script made out of literal gold was handed to him And now he’s not only back for this film, but playing 2 characters. What does that say about the script for this film?

They team up in lots of 2000s Sonic games

[@yurilover5867]

This is the movie I've been waiting for!

[@exploringandstargazing]

If this movie has a post credits scene with Metal Sonic in, it'll be on par with teasing Shadow in Sonic 2.

[@saucey8991]

i think metal sonic is actually in the movie , bc in the trailer sonic gave Eggman some of his hair . he might use tht to make metal sonic or something else. if not , metal sonic , silver or rogue might be teased in the post credits

[@exploringandstargazing]

@saucey8991 I don't think so. In the previous films, Robotnik has shown to have a weird addiction to tasting Sonic's electricity.

[@LoLTerminus]

pretty sure movie 4 is going to be the last one so the last one needs Chaos if it doesn’t happen in this one

[@SteveM7Nexus]

​​​​@@exploringandstargazingI mean Robotnik is likely gonna be betraying them so him having the quill in the first place sets up the creation of Metal Sonic. It's basically a matter of whether or not Metal Sonic is in the Movie as part of the final fight or whether his initial reveal is in the post credits scenes. My guess is the former, Metal Sonic is then defeated in the final fight and one of the post credits scenes reveals that Metal Sonic is still active.

[@mewtwo34]

In SA2 everyone teams up at the end to beat the final boss. I'm curious how they'll incorporate key elements of it into this

[@LoLTerminus]

i’m hoping that’s why Gerald is in the movie. cause Chaos is loose or something and they have to team up vs that instead of just fighting shadow

[@joanmadera]

@@LoLTerminus Na, adding Chaos to this movie would be too much. Plus Chaos deserves his own movie. I was hoping we'd get a Chaos movie before Shadow. What I think is gonna happen is that Shadow and Gerald are preparing to blow up the planet with the Eclipse Cannon to avenge Maria. Eggman helps at first, but as soon as he realizes what their plan is, he teams up with Sonic to save his burgers. I'm not sure how they're gonna bring Shadow to their side. Maybe Sonic is gonna talknojutsu and trigger Shadow's memory of Maria asking him to forgive and protect mankind. When Gerald loses both Eggman and Shadow, he'll surprise them by revealing the Biolizard.

[@chessduncan1864]

I think shadow pulled a undertaker back turn right there 🔥🔥🔥🔥5:03

[@TakinDrasticMeasurez]

Eggman actually teamed up with them in Sonic Adventure 2 in order to save the world, which is what this movie is taking some plot points from. I fully expect him to revert and double cross Sonic at some point in the movie though. He’ll see Shadow’s immense power as his key to taking over the world. Calling it now 😂

[@marshallburlew-pg7nw]

Shadow actually, showed up first in Sonic Adventure 2 and his ark extended somewhat in Sonic Heroes, and then was revolutionized and completed in Shadow the Hedgehog. Which was the game that he wielded guns. He was actually well received in Sonic Adventures 2, but the reason his game alone wasn't well received, was because of how long it was. Also, the man that we see at the end of the trailer with Eggman, is Gerald Robotnik, Eggmans grandfather. Also, I thought I'd never see a big time action actor like Keanu Reaves voice a video game character like Shadow from Sonic, but damn it, it's perfect because Reaves has the perfect voice tone for a character like Shadow.

[@Karroto202]

Keanu Reeves actually turned down a role in Star wars for this is actually the best thing ever,#1 actor ever❤️

[@marygonzalez2472]

Sonic and Eggman did team up on two occasions. The first one was in Sonic Advance 3 and the second in Sonic Lost World (Although Eggman ended up betraying him by the end of the game.)

[@SohiHien]

they teamed up in Sonic Adventure 2 as well, when everyone had to fight the final hazard together.

[@ryoaliveri6895]

Team Sonic and eggman teamed up on multiple occasion but it always ends the same with eggman betraying them, they teamed up in Sonic Adventure 2 against the final boss of the game and again in Sonic Heroes against Metal Sonic, briefly in the modern games but he’s still mostly the villain

[@sayemahmed7439]

This reminds of Sonic adventures 2 💙🖤 used to play that a lot as a kid.

[@bet0v966]

Feel ya man, remember playin it for free back when McD used to have GameCubes In em

[@Axxidous]

So let me tell you what ACTUALLY happened. Shadow debuted in the game Sonic Adventure 2, aka Sonic Adventure 2: Battle on GameCube. In the game, there is a yin-yang thing between him and Sonic. And he was really slick and really popular. So popular that he became a regular character. A few years later, he got his own game, which is the game where he has guns and the game was really weird. People didn’t really like the game that much but they like the character. Although nowadays, people look back on the game fondly for some reason.

[@IsaiahsBackupChannel]

[@waitselljones8068]

So two things to comment on 1. You asked if Dr. Robotnik ever teamed up with Sonic. WELLL... they teamed up for the first time in a mainline Sonic game in the game Shadow first appeared, Sonic Adventure 2. It wasn't against Shadow though. 2. Shadow actually didn't first appear using guns. His first appearance in Sonic Adventure 2 was supposed to be his last but he actually was immediately well received by fans and they brought him back....... and put him in his own game in which he had the guns.

[@kristopheryoung46]

[@heikira438]

Shadow was first introduced in Sonic Adventure 2, before his own game

[@deathfliez627]

Shadow was loved from Day 1. It’s his solo game in 2005 that made people feel like they made him too edgy and Sega lost the plot going into the 2010’s with him. But it seems like Shadows in rare form as of recent.

[@jimmynodean]

So excited for this film! Also... piggybacking off y'all convo... THATS why Chadwick will forever be Black Panther and he's impossible to replace in our lifetime.

[@KingLegendaryHero]

My only problem of this trailer is Shadow vs Knuckles, Knuckles has always shown to be a problem for Shadow he had to go all out on him respectfully. Even in both comics and games they almost think of each other as warriors, Knuckles and Shadow is one of the most powerful characters and Knuckles proven to be up there given how he caused an earthquake and shook the universe in his super form. But anyways this trailer is amazing deserved an award, and I'm glad Dr. Egg man is back again.

[@JaidynReiman]

I don't think its really a problem. If you look at what happens here, Shadow doesn't overpower Knuckles, he just outsmarts him and surprises him. Knuckles is taken off guard because he rushed in to play a fair fight, which Shadow isn't doing in this moment. He teleports in (completely taking Knuckles off guard) and rather than overpowering Knuckles, he simply twists Knuckles wrist suddenly to hurt him and launches him away. In an actual hand-to-hand fight Knuckles would still be the stronger of the two, but Shadow's teleportation allows him to catch Knuckles completely off guard. Once they know how to fight Shadow it'll be a bit easier for them to go toe-to-toe with him.

[@KingLegendaryHero]

@@JaidynReiman So he's like Goku, fight first ask questions later but adapts to get better.

Every time eggman and sonic teamed up (from memory) In sa2 In sonic x In sonic heros In sonic 06 In sonic frontiers In sonic 3 trailer

[@BigNavy8175]

Eggman has teamed up with sonic occasionally throughout the series usually in the climax, happened in adventure 2, 06, and frontiers from what I remember.

[@FoxVidz2000]

Hey, guys, here's some trivia! Sonic and Eggman have teamed up 5, 6, or more times in the main series including the IDW comics. (Highly recommend reacting to Adrenaline Dubs' videos on it if you haven't touched those yet. All you need to know is that they fill the gap between Sonic Forces released in 2017 and Sonic Frontiers released a while ago.) But the thing about all of these alliances is that they are PURELY out of desperation on one side or the other (usually Eggman's the desperate one and is just in it for himself lol).

[@CryoJnik]

They were on the same briefly in the last story of Sonic Adventure 2. And in the most recent sonic game. Bet it wont last though.

[@BlackChryss]

In the games, Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes, Shadow the hedgehog, Sonic 06, Sonic Lost World and Sonic Frontiers. Sonic and Robotnik team up whenever there's a threat bigger than themselves. Usually it's a means to an end. In Sonic Adventure, Adventure 2 and 06, it's to fix whatever mess Robotnik made. In Sonic lost world, it was to seize control of a device, Robotnik turned on sonic in the end. In Sonic Frontiers they put their differences aside to stop a world ending threat
