Been on a Shadow and Maria kick lately

Wrote a fanfic of Maria and Shadow living on the ARK, so most of these are inspired by that. For a good chunk of it, Shadow doesn’t have his inhibitor rings or air shoes, so he just has standard gloves and socks. Shadow learns to skate by sliding down the hall in his socks.

Maria has a radio that can pick up radio stations on Earth, cause Gerald is smart enough to build such a thing. Because something I don’t see people embrace enough is the 1950’s aesthetic. If the ARK incident took place 50 years ago from the early 2000s, it would put it in the 1950s. I was listening to 50s doo-wop and rock n roll while doodling. Plus, can you imagine Maria listening to “Earth Angel” while she’s daydreaming about life on Earth?

This is when Shadow is going to test his inhibitor rings, and Maria is asking the real questions. Saw a lot of drawings of Shadow wearing a hospital gown, and while I think it’s adorable…why would he need one when he doesn’t wear clothes to begin with?

Thoughts on Shadow the Hedgehog (2005)

Shadow has been my favorite Sonic character for years. My earliest exposure to Shadow was at my local Boys & Girls Club. We had a GameCube where kids would take turns playing games. I distinctly remember watching several kids try to beat the final boss of Sonic Adventure 2, though I didn’t fully click with it at the time. My first real exposure to him was through cutscenes posted to YouTube in the early 2000s because I didn’t have a gaming console growing up. I would watch Sonic X when I was able, specifically seeking out the episodes with Shadow. When I finally got a PS2, I got Shadow the Hedgehog because, well, Shadow.

I was not great at it. I struggled a lot because of the slippery controls, flying off stages, and bombardment of bullets. I maybe got through one ending if that.

And for the longest time, that’s all I really had. I got a PS2 towards the end of its lifecycle, the PS3 was already out and I struggled to find other titles.

I had other Sonic games like Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Colors, Sonic and the Black Knight, but outside of party games like Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games and Sonic & SEGA All Stars Racing, Shadow the Hedgehog is still the only story driven game I own where Shadow is playable*.

So, when the recent news about Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic x Shadow Generations dropped, I decided to finally beat Shadow the Hedgehog after all these years.

Over the course of 4 days, I worked my way through the 8 remaining endings I had left (having completed the true hero path and the semi hero path a few years prior). And after a decade of owning the game, I beat it.

So what are my thoughts?

While I can acknowledge the game’s flaws…I still don’t hate it.

I’ve watched several videos that explain why this game is terrible, from the mechanics to the butchering of Shadow’s character. And I agree.

Did everyone just forget that Slow Ass Mother Fucking Jeff from Saw III neglected his daughter because he was so consumed by rage and grief, he wouldn’t let her mourn by cuddling her dead brother’s toy, yanked the toy away from her, and basically told her through his actions that his son was the favorite child?

Why are all y’all suddenly Team Slow Ass Mother Fucking Jeff all of a sudden?

#he was awful to her#but people just see him as a greiving father#bitch has another kid who just lost her brother#be a parent to your kid and grieve with her#fuck you slow ass mother fucking jeff#saw iii#saw franchise#saw movies#jeff denlon#corbett denlon
