we need more ian hanlin

So far I think I have to go with Kirk Thornton, pretty much my favorite VA for Shadow since I finished Shadow Generations and I pretty much grew up with him. Jason as Shadow is good in some titles ( like Shadow 05 and Sonic X) but I'm so used to him playing as Sonic. For David, it sounds a bit goofy but I guess you can't blame that because there weren't like very popular gaming VAs back in the early 2000s. Ian however is pretty interesting, I do like Sonic Prime and his voice is pretty good. And finally Keanu Reeves, dude...as a fan of John Wick, I can't wait to see his performance once Sonic 3 is out!

Whenever I think of Shadow the hedgehog Jason Griffith is the first thing that pops in my mind. I really liked him in Sonic X, Shadow the Hedgehog, and Sonic 06. I also now like Kirk Thornton as Shadow too. Used to hate Kirk for Shadow when Sonic Free Riders came out, but after seeing him improve in other games and Sonic Boom season 2, I started to warm up to him.

Literally half of shadows lines are about chaos control ultimate power and “mArIa” thats why hes my favorite character tbh

David Humphrey is by far my favorite. Jason Griffith is pretty good, but definitely not my favorite. Kirk Thornton proved that he can be pretty good in Shadow Generations and Dark Beginnings. Ian Hanlin is just fine, and I don't like Keanu Reeves. Shadow's voices have declined with each one.

From 2022 shadows voice just became Garbo 🤢 I love Keanu but…his voice for shadow? Nope…

With Jason I just can’t help but hear Patrick Bateman.

I am THE ULTIMATE LIFEFORM!

0:20 “MAURIAU!”

I love them all but I grew up with Ryan Roger and Jason are the best in my opinion

Kirk honestly my second favorite voice actor

Kirk still the worst shadow by far

jason sounds like an anti hero, kirk just sounds like a cartoon mustache twirling villain. ian is really good too

David is still my favorite

Jason Griffith will always be my favorite🔥🔥🔥

0:54 saving this for myself because holy shit lancelot

I hate Kirk

Keanu 🔥💀

First one got that Disney shit

MARIAAAAH!

For me it’s 1. Kirk 2. Ian 3. David 4. Jason I’m not gonna do Keanu since I haven’t heard enough to give proper judgement

Jason Griffith is the most underrated va period. Give this man his flowers for playing not just the best Sonic, but also the best Shadow (if you can't tell, i grew up on Sonic X, definitely no bias in this claim).

1. Keanu Reeves 2. Jason Griffith 3. Kirk Thornton 4. Ian Hanlin 5. David Humphrey

Ian hanlin is underrated, he needs to be shadow more

I forgot about that Prime Shadow lol, his voice doesn’t really give off Shadow to me just some regular guy.

Honestly i love David's shadow slightly better than Jason's because David's shadow is a more balanced shadow whereas Jason's sounds angry most of the time

I honestly really like sonic primes voice, it has like this mix of Kirk and Jason and I just love it

Thornton has really come on his own lately. It really helps that he got to voice the character in a story where he's the main focus.

First just to say, I don't think anyone has done particularly bad in this role so far. Personally I think Jason's preforminces are by far the most enjoyable to me. I think Jason is just a fantastic voice talent and has shown time and again across several franchises his talent and skill. There are a number of individuals who are some of the most stand out animated voices from my youth and some how Jason managed to be several without me ever being able to hear his actual voice beneath the preformince. To me that is talent.

I don’t like Kirk as the new VA, he sounds really forced and quite weird as Shadow I can’t get why some people started to like this VA just bc of gens, had to switch the dub to japanese as soon I started the game.

I actually didn't realize that David Humphrey was Shadow in SA2, I thought it was Jason Griffith

As someone who met David Humphrey, Jason Griffith and Kirk Thorton irl, to me David is the GOAT Shadow voice actor.

1. David/Jason 2. Kirk 3. Ian 4. Keanu (heard to little yet, too much just Keanu)

1. Jason 2. Kirk 3. David 4. Keanu 5. Ian

As a French, my personal favorite is Jason Griffith as he is the one I grew up with the most as a 1999 born (it thus doesn't come as a surprise that he is also my favorite voice for Sonic as well), but even though I don't have as much of a definite opinion on Kirk Thornton (mainly because I haven't been directly experiencing the english dubs of Sonic games so much ever since the french dubs of Sonic games came back with Generations in 2011 and then the Boom show), I'm still agreeably surprised to see how Kirk Thornton is now growing up on people after all those years ever since he took the mantle of Jason.

David Humphry , Keanu Reeves Ian Hanlin and Jason .

0:32 1:06 2:08 My favorite shadow voice actors!

David Humphrey all day.

Best Shadow Voice Autor

David is the best

You’re missing Ryan Drummond who briefly took over for David Humphrey as Shadow in SA2 for a couple of lines. Ryan confirmed it himself.

Jason is definitely my favourite Shadow

Jason Best shadow

I don't like Ian Hanlin's

0:20 MARIA 😱😱

The Movie Hasn't Released So I Can't Agree Yet On Him, But Jason, Ian And Oh BABY KIRK IS THE ULTIMATE LIFE FORM!!!

Kirk is perfect

Stopped the video after Kirk. I have zero interest in the non-canon Hollywood Sonic media. Love all three game Shadow voices though.

David was a starting point for the rest to work off of which he still did an amazing job for SA2 Jason was massive jump he made the Shadow we grew up with more impactful through voice Kirk has a very distinct tone which makes sound colder which is a good benefit to have for a character like Shadow Ian seemed more stern than cold or agressive like Kirk and Jason which worked for what he was doing in Prime (haven't watched season 3 yet don't quote me 100% on the role thing) Keanu oddly has a weird kinda mixture of Jason, Kirk and Ian, he has the cold tone if Kirk an odd sort of agression in his voice like Jason and a sternness like Ian. This is just my interpretation of it maybe the way I see it isn't the same for others but this is how I see it.

kirk really grew on me with shadow generations, feels like they finally gave him good voice direction. he reminded me of david humphrey in some lines :’)
