joking about it is one thing but some of the ways i see people talk about marias death and potential upcoming adaptations of it make me wonder if anyone even remembers what the already existing portrayals of marias death looked like ... ? because its not as scary as some people seem to think it is. i mean yes its a tragic moment and kinda dark for a kids franchise about cute talking animals but theres no blood. we dont directly see maria get shot. we dont see the exact moment where she dies. some versions (including sa2) dont even show soldiers or guns or anything and just have the player piece together what happened through context clues. so no i dont think little kids are gonna be traumatized from playing sxs gens no i dont think sonic 3 has to be rated pg 13 in order to do the story justice . showing her death in extreme detail literally wouldnt even be accurate to the source material

#also something about how the story isnt about maria dying horribly its about what happens as a result of her death #also seen people say that sonic x shadow generations being rated e10+ means its gonna go super gruesome with showing marias death #i mean yeah marias death is definitely something that would bring the game up to an e10+ rating (IF its in there. we still dont know)#but i think shth being the first game to be rated e10+ gave people a pretty warped perception of what an e10+ sonic game usually looks like #shth wasnt the first to be rated that way because it was the first that would fall under that rating #it was the first because shth was the first sonic game to come out during the time that rating existed #there are a lot of other sonic games that are e10+ that dont really have the same vibe as shth #unleashed. frontiers. lost world. rise of lyric. forces. several games from the mario and sonic at the olympics series.#sonic 06. post-shth rereleases of sa2. maybe others im forgetting #also e10+ is still for kids. older kids sure. but still kids #so no. a sonic game being rated e10+ doesnt mean theres gonna be blood and guns and swearing everywhere #although it is pretty interesting that sonic generations is rated e which means the 10+ part was added because of shadow
