maria and gerald return only to be murdered & executed respectively... it's gotta suck for shadow knowing he had a SECOND chance to stop it from happening
I think theyre setting up a shadow sequal or a silver game, maybe an adventure 3 honestly considering bigs appearances in frontiers and shadow gens. I think whatever game it ends up being will finalize the events of this game and 06. Where they create an alternate timeline allowing maria to be saved as well as allowing mephiles/iblis to be released
@@TheArmchairPriest ok maybe I spoke wrong about 06. And im not saying it in like it won’t make sense plot wise. What I mean is shadows entire arc in shadow the hedgehog (and also in this game) was learning to let go of the past and move on with life. So if Maria is saved it kind of steps all over his character arc.
This ending was heartbreaking, shadow and maria having one final goodbye with eachother and the amount of pain in shadow's voice when he had to let them go again and shadow sheds a tear and it lands on rouge while she looks very concerned for him was just sad, sonic fans are about to be depressed for a week
Why wouldn’t he cry? Those two were literally his family. A family he hadn’t seen in 50 years. After five decades, he finally had a second chance to see them again…. Only to have no other choice, but to let them go.
It’s so sad seeing how optimistic Maria is about seeing Shadow again and looks forward to their future together as a family of 3, when we already know what’s in store for them. Maria gets shot and dies, Gerald loses his mind and gets executed, and Shadow gets locked away for half a century. It’s really heart wrenching. Especially when they finally fade away and there’s the shot of that eerily empty space where they just were mere seconds ago.
Yo dira algo más que un abrazo despes de todo rouge siente algo por shadow no solo amistad sino otra cosa más elevado a eso y María quiere que tenga a alguien más en especial no solo a ella sino a Rouge y en el corazón de shadow hay espacio para alguien mas
Another user who had made videos of the cutscenes may have been taken down so I’ll say it here again; it’s truly heartbreaking that shadow would want to change reality itself to just save Maria and Gerald. I cried when they were fading away actually same way I did when shadow cried. This scene may explain why he doesn’t talk much about Gerald and Maria because he’s learned to let go of the past. He just needed a little push to let himself go. And after rouge witnessed shadow cry. She stays with shadow more often now after this game in the timeline. Showing she truly cares about shadows feelings, I mean they’ve been friends since adventure 2 so it had to happen at some point that she’d witness him cry and be vulnerable. So now Amy and rouge have seen shadow cry.
@@TheUltimateNatural I think yes, rouge does also become a bit more closer to shadow and is also seen standing next to him obviously in the final battle with the time eater.

It's his canon event, her fate cannot be changed and shadow needs to accept the loss to heal and move on. That's what makes shadow a compelling character imo
Well, at least he finally got to say his final goodbye to Maria and Gerald one final time no matter how much it hurt him, he had to let them go because if he didn't the entire timeline would probably be destroyed
This is a very heartbreaking and beautiful ending to Sonic X Shadow Generations. Shadow got to have one last goodbye to Professor Gerald Robotnik and Maria. Shadow had worked through the painful memories his whole life and risen up to be a true warrior. And seeing Shadow shed a single tear after saying goodbye to Maria, I felt like crying softly on the inside. Sayanora, Shadow the Hedgehog... 🥹🥹🥹🥹😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭❤❤❤
I know the entire storyline hasn’t been released yet at this time (Oct. 20th) to see any other small details we have missed but this ending does make me wonder. If Dr. Gerald retained his memories of all this then does that mean he knew he would fail in his plan to destroy the world since he knew the Shadow he met wasn’t of his time? If he did know the large possibility that time would remain unchanged regardless of his efforts then why did he go along with it when he knew it was doomed to fail? Did he really mean to destroy the people of Earth? Who can say?
Because if she didnt, it wouldnt make sense to the OG generations story, just think about it. Shadow had the FAKE emerald while waiting for sonic in the original game, and now here, we know how Shadow got the fake chaos emerald. So if rouge told sonic he has a fake chaos emerald, Sonic would confront shadow about it for the 2nd time, and in the original game they only faced off once

@@gravityfallscanadaThere was no reason. The purpose of Shadow the Hedgehog was to flesh out his story what happened entirely. We know everything that happened that lead to Shadow being vengeful in Sonic Adventure 2.

Why are people now acting like frontiers didn't have better animated cutscenes than ANY of the meta era games, even unleashed to a certain extent??? Like okay it obviously had a lower budget than X Gens that's why x gens looks better but doesn't mean you should take credit away from frontiers
It had tails confront hisinsecurities, Amy feeling she has to be distant to do what she wants, and Knuckles see him needing to be himself and not just some guardian till his death. AND even Eggman treating what was one of his servants to see her as a real person to him even if AI. ITS FINE-
At least Shadow had a beautiful and bittersweet goodbye to Maria and Gerald unlike the tragic event 50 years ago Just like Maria said "No matter what keeps them apart, she'll always be in his heart" 💗🥹
I really like the Sonic Generations' graphic and animation that look even as good as Sonic Forces, the Modern Sonic 3D game CGI non-gameplay cutcenes, and some of the last Kingdom Hearts games' graphic and animation! But why are the Sonic's birthday party cutscenes' graphic from Shadow Generations still look like the same graphic and animation quality as Sonic Generations' graphic and animation?
As maria said in dark beginnings: you have a big heart, it may be difficult for you to express it, but I know that deep down, you really do care, about me, about everyone
Oddly, even after knowing the final stage was inside it- I was still somewhat looking forward to seeing what kind of monstrosity Doom was cooking up underneath that giant metal ball thing 😔oh well Kind of saw the loss of his powers coming though, makes sense cuz Forces and that the Arms are a hive mind. But maybe they're just dormant or something and he has to awaken them on his own without Doom's influence.🤷🏾
Oh wow, Kirk's performance was really underwhelming in the last few min. Koji Yusa knocked it out of the PARK as usual, and Shadow's animations showed that Kirk's meanwhile is just.... weak here
It was underwhelming as a whole in my opinion; Rouge's VA doesn't sit right with me, either I figured Kirk's Shadow would eventually grow on me, but it never did

Kudos to Kirk Thornton for making Shadow sound even better
"This is the destiny i choose."
Goes about as hard as "i will fight like i always have." Welcome BACK Shadow.
No matter how much pain Shadow would suffer, the black hedgehog must maintain his canon events that would make him not just a hero, but also himself.
The look on Rouge face she doesn't know what he went through all she knows is that experience did something to him that will always stay with him
Sonic characters can finally show emotions now let's go
No way! Shadow actually shed a tear!
