"Dark Beginnings" brings up something that was likely implied before but I never considered, which is that Shadow didn't share Maria's fascination with Earth.
Maria would often tell Shadow about Earth's beauty but he never returned the enthusiasm, he only cared about curing his sister. Besides, the ARK was all he had ever known.
So of course Shadow's disinterest towards Earth turns into hatred after the GUN incident, and his revenge is only stopped thanks to Maria's memory. Even in the present, you could argue Shadow doesn't care for Earth very much.
#Shadow is so goal-oriented because he was literally made to achieve one specific goal#so he didn't care much about Earth. Saving Maria was the only thing that mattered#Maria was likely aware and tried to help distract Shadow and teach him to enjoy the beauty and other pleasures of life#But Shadow never changed in that regard. He just jumps from one mission to another and rarely deviates from it#only very one specific person is able to distract him#sonic the hedgehog#sonic x shadow generations#dark beginnings#sonic x shadow generations dark beginnings#dark beginnings spoilers#maria robotnik#shadow the hedgehog
