getting mildly annoyed with some things in shadow generations that were references to existing games or art or whatever being treated as completely new information by people in the fandom but then i have to remember that not everyone has all the sonic knowledge that i do and that the original source for the idea of maria being the one to name shadow is a short comic that was posted to the japanese socials forever ago and never got an official english translation and isnt really talked about often in fan spaces these days and this is the first time theyre talking about the origin of shadows name onscreen in a game . so maybe its kinda reasonable that not everyone knows about all this stuff and im the weird one in this situation for assuming people do

#it is still an obvious reference to that comic though like the dialogue in that cutscene is heavily based on that comic .#none of the other stuff i have in mind is anywhere near that obscure though ...#like ''gerald was confirmed to view shadow as a son'' or ''maria is finally confirmed to view shadow as family''#we already knew those things ...? gerald calls shadow his son onscreen in the canon ending of shadow 05 #and the thing with shadow and maria . okay yeah this is the first time its directly mentioned onscreen i think #but to say it wasnt implied at all is wrong because theres character bios that say they were like brother and sister #and also gerald calling shadow his son implies that shadow was treated as part of the family in some way #sonic x shadow generations #sxsg spoilers
