even just seeing a glimpse of dark beginnings and like. sonic battle takes on a whole new context. no wonder shadow was so pressed to find and destroy emerl he saw that bitch blow up a space station and nearly kill his grandpa. this thing can level planets and then he turns around and sonic is just walking it around town like a purse dog

“They’re retconning Shadow’s backstory, why is Emerl there??? He’s not supposed to be there?? That’s wrong???”

So what I’m gathering from that is some of y’all just don’t actually know shit about Sonic Battle and Shadow’s story in that game huh,,,

[sparklingjay]

Sonic canonically thinks Shadow isn't honest about his (lack of) feelings.

I feel like no one knows Shadow better than Sonic. Not even Rouge.

I actually used to side with Sonics' statement about Shadow being evil and being forgiven for his mistakes in the IDW comic. But after some time passed, I realized that this wasn't true. I looked back at that issue and SA2 and thought...wtf, Shadow was never evil. Why did I agree with Sonic!?!?

I am now convinced that Ian Flynn just gaslights the fans. Why? I don't know, but he's a dick.

Okay well, like, I wouldn't say Shadow was NEVER evil. He was absolutely the villain in Sonic Adventure 2. He was the instrument of Gerald's will for revenge and was manipulating the whole scenario to instigate the ARK colony drop and destroy the planet. He also seemed to know that it was the wrong thing to do as well, but was resigned to it due to his own rage and because he thought vengeance was Maria's final wish which he wanted to fulfill.

The problem with this page is not that it's INACCURATE to Shadow's character history. The problem is that Sonic would never say this in this way. It's inaccurate to the integrity of Sonic as a character.

Sonic is using Shadow's trauma against him to WIN AN ARGUMENT. The events of Sonic Adventure 2 which Sonic is referencing (in the most bizarre way possible; "obliterate AN entire planet"? Shouldn't he be saying "obliterate THE entire planet"? Which planet is Sonic talking about when he says "an"?) are something that Shadow clearly FEELS BAD ABOUT. He feels remorse for his former actions of nearly destroying the world that Maria loved, and Sonic is AWARE of this and is SPECIFICALLY using those conflicting feelings of Shadow's AGAINST HIM.

Sonic is TRYING to make Shadow FEEL BAD on purpose.

THAT IS NOT SOMETHING SONIC WOULD EVER DO

Sonic has in fact done THE EXACT OPPOSITE of that in the video games. In Sonic Battle, Shadow was being a violent prick and starting fights with literally everyone including Sonic specifically because he wanted to kill Emerl. It was THE SAME SCENARIO AND CONTEXT as the IDW comics: Shadow believes that someone is potentially dangerous and should be dispatched in order to avert hypothetical future damage they might inflict, whereas Sonic believes that same person to be innocent. Shadow instigates a fight where he is willing to violently neutralize Sonic in the interest of murdering an innocent life form because they MIGHT be dangerous in the future.

And yet this is what Sonic says to Shadow in Sonic Battle

Sonic tries to convince Shadow that Emerl is NOT dangerous because he's just like Shadow. And Shadow is a good person who saved the world. He tries to convince Shadow on the basis of his VIRTUES, not his sins. He compares Shadow to the person Shadow wants to kill in a POSITIVE way to prove to him that he isn't dangerous, just like Shadow isn't dangerous.

And when Shadow remains unconvinced, Sonic says "okay fine, if you won't listen to me then do whatever you want. I have faith that you'll do the right thing in the end."

IDW Sonic isn't just OOC. He's THE OPPOSITE of Sonic from the video games. He is the ANTITHESIS of video game Sonic. Sonic in the games tries to appeal to Shadow's better nature and convince him that he's a good person with a heart, and when it doesn't work he allows Shadow to do as he pleases because he believes in him and trusts he won't just kill an innocent life form.

Sonic in the IDW comic gaslights Shadow and uses his own trauma against him to convince him he's just as bad as Eggman, all for the sake of getting in the last word to win an argument.

IDW Sonic is NOT Sonic. IDW Sonic is the anti-Sonic. IDW Sonic is Scourge painted blue. That is the reason that page is disgusting, and why the entire comic in general is irredeemable garbage.
