Ideas for a potential shadow spin off

- We of course need background on why Maria was living on the base. Did she have no other relatives and had to move there so her Grandfather could be her guardian? Was she extremely lonely moving there and being the only kid? Is that why she so badly wanted to befriend Shadow, because she quite literally had no one just like he had no one?

- As a throw back to the first movie, Maria also had a bucket list of things she wanted to do with shadow when they grew up (😭) and Shadow sets out to complete it

- This includes things like visiting famous locations, swimming in the ocean, learning a new instrument (which they had already started on with guitar), and going on an adventure together

- Shadow struggling with his identity now that he’s on his own. If he’s not Maria’s friend then who is he? This could really tie into the themes of his game, as well as a good opportunity for “I am all of me”

- Shadow checks on the wachowskis from a distance but dares not intrude. Of course Sonic ends up finding him and they have another heart to heart, letting him know that if he ever needs a friend that he’ll be there

Ooh, my heart ❤️🥺❤️

These are very good ideas! I’d especially love the idea of Maria having a bucket list and including Shadow to be a part of her dream!
