Shadow and Maria dancing & watching a movie

how does a show released in 2024 fail harder in showcasing fully rounded female characters with flaws and strengths and rich personalities than a cartoon from the 2000s. why has television & film legitimately regressed across the years when it comes to showing women as human beings lmao

Something I realised about the situation with Maria in Sonic 3.

Yes, she isn't said to be terminally ill, or Shadow being born to cure her, which is a huge departure from the games. But I'd say it still maintains nearly the same level of tragedy.

She was able to walk around, interact with people. Be silly, be active, tie a rope to Shadow and get him to pull her around on her own roller skates.

She was able to go outside, and see Earth in all its beauty. The stars, the sky, the moon. She was able to lie down in the grass with her brother and comfort him about his own insecurities.

Maria Robotnik was a child full of life, with a life to look forward to.

And that was taken from her.

Sonic 3, all it does, is change the tragedy from 'she was never going to live long' to 'she was able to have a long life and it was stolen from her in cruelty and unfairly'.

That's the injustice that drives Shadow in Sonic 3.

Maria Robotnik should have lived a long and good life. Gone to school, got a career, changed the world with Shadow at her side.

Instead, because of the cruelty of the military, she lost it all and will never be able to have that life.

Hebrews 10:1 "The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship."

Colossians 2:17 "These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ."

"Do you know why I named you 'Shadow'? Because without light there's only darkness, but a shadow will show you where to find the light. Do you understand?" (Maria Robotnik, Sonic X Shadow Generations)

1 John 1:5 "God is light; in him there is no darkness at all."
