This is what Shadow should be like in the future of Sonic. He should still be the most serious, yet not outright angsty or stuff like that. Just serious and not taking any of the other characters shit. And in here, he was FULLY on the right. Shadow knew Sonic was gonna destroy all and tried to warn him, Sonic did it anyway and destroyed it all. Shadow wanted to fix Sonic's mistake, but was stopped by the shatter space itself. Shadow was suspicious about Nine, and Nine ended up taking all the shards and potentially doomed them all. Shadow was just overall shown to be the most level headed and rational character in the show, and just overall how he should be

[@godzilla25_official2]

Feels like he’s going to give sonic a think mark think moment in the next season

[@Axxidous]

Almost. He also has a distain for Sonic in this series while in the games he's never specifically expressed such a thing EXCEPT in Shadow The Hedgehog when he goes on certain more darker paths. But I guess to be fair that's because this version of Sonic is VERY stupid and annoying. lol

[@Taraku43]

@@Axxidous It's less a distain but more an annoyance with Sonic. Shadow tried to warn Sonic and knew he would not listen to him in most conventional ways, so he tried it his way. Yet that did not stop Sonic and got Shadow stuck in a Void, alone, for god knows how long. There is no wonder Shadow acts the way he does, and once they start working together he does not leave Sonic to die, but goes out of his way to save him multiple times

[@Axxidous]

@@Taraku43 It's both. I'm gonna keep the word "distain", as this is typically how fans portray it and what Prime is going off of. You can hear it when he reluctantly admits they need to work together. They're going for a softcore version of the Goku/Vegeta thing.

[@donathan2933]

[@pigkeyrings]

Honestly this is the best version of shadow we've ever had. Just a stoic, dutiful anti-hero who still has enough personality to be a little sassy and occasionally crack a sarcastic joke, it's such a good interpretation of his role. Making him almost the mentor character for Sonic, while also maintaining their rivalry, was such a good move that paid off and created a really entertaining dynamic. I hope they build on that and we get more of it in season 3.

[@burgerburger7975]

Honestly, with how depressed Sonic seemed at the end of the season (it literally looked as if he were crying), I think Shadow's first instinct is to be livid for being right about Nine but after seeing how messed up Sonic was from the whole thing he'd go to calming him down and awkwardly comforting instead. Shadow is rightfully angry at him and probably itching to let that out, but he's not enough of an asshole that he'd beat up Sonic when he knows he's down. We do see him gathering himself every time Sonic showed genuine remorse about what happened, after all.
