i kinda feel bad for all the jokes i've made about maria dying after this im not gonna lie.. (also subscribe to CJ for the beautiful thumbnail pls thank you: www.youtube.com/@CJ_Puppet)
@MasonParkinson Just because the fandom joked about it doesn't mean you have to. In general we shouldn't even be joking about someone's death anyways, and Sega took that very seriously with Maria's death and how it effected Shadow
I love how they emphasized Maria more as a character than just a tragic figure. You can see what type of person she was and how she and Shadow cared about each other. You can understand why Shadow was willing to destroy the Earth for Maria in SA2. Also, I cried during that amazing song playing during the Maria flashbacks. And I’m amazed by the dark tone SEGA went to show the deaths of Maria and Gerald😱😭🦔🖤❤️👩🩵
honestly all of it is so good, i was not expecting them to go down the route they went down at ALL, genuinely after watching it i feel so bad making any joke abt maria dying im not going to lie, it is such an incredibly good animation and i seriously hope we get more stuff like this for Sonic from now on, it's so good 😭
I’ve seen this so many times, one bittersweet thing I noticed was that Shadow’s vision of him and Maria at the end was in the same field of flowers he was sleeping in the beginning.
That thumbnail is the best one that will ever come out of this channel. It caught me off guard, killed me, and will now appear in my mind whenever I see your name. Thank you CJ Puppet!
your reaction to the last shadow and maria scene is the EXACT same as mine. i literally said “I DON’T WANT TO JOKE ABOUT MARIA ANYMORE. I’M TOO SAD.” and sat around the house depressed for an entire day.
@@MCWhenSquared They originally wanted to make the Sonic movies animated, but then Sony, that's where they originally pitched the movies to, wanted it to be live-action
The ending is the best part, I love it! I am the type of person who is more into emotional story moments than action scenes, so this made my week! It was incredible and I hope the game reflects more on Shadow and Maria's relationship.
Commander Tower with the 'weird ass eyes' is voiced by Roger, current Sonic game voice, plus he voiced Omega. Glad you're regretting the Maria jokes as she is a big part of Shadows past and character. 😢
You didn't already see all three episodes of Sonic X Shadow Generations: Dark Beginnings until this video? Every episode is a masterpiece. Honestly, I'm annoyed that Paramount didn't make their Sonic movies in this same animation style. They're giving us movies that I know will never measure up.
This style would not fit the live action movies. This style should be reserved for stories set exclusively in Sonic’s universe. Paramount’s universe is like a mix between reality and Sonic’s.
@@shadamyandsonamylover >This style would not fit the live action movies. Yes, because they're live-action. My point is that the Paramount movies shouldn't be live-action, they should be animated. >Paramount’s universe is like a mix between reality and Sonic’s. This is the biggest flaw of the Paramount Sonic universe, in my opinion. I hope if we get more Paramount Sonic films after Sonic 3 that Paramount will do a reboot and I say this as someone who usually hates reboots. I hate the 'Sonic in the real world' premise of the Paramount Sonic films, it's inherently restrictive and robs the films of the exciting science-fiction/fantasy elements of its source material that made me obsessed with the Sonic franchise as a kid. In the original Japanese version of the games, Sonic's home was always Earth all along albeit obviously an alternate version of Earth where humans and anthros live together. Paramount needs to do that or fuck off, in my opinion.
@@Rishi123456789 I am a huge Sonic fan. My favorite interpretation of the franchise is the Archie comics. You do not know much about movies if you think a Sonic movie would do well for general audiences. The paramount movies are perfect as they are. They would be too expensive to make to keep it strictly for Sonic fans - it would not generate enough revenue. That being said, Sega should absolutely invest in an anime. Like a reboot of Sonic X but more closely following the games - or maybe an IDW anime.

@@MasonParkinson FUN FACT: the official Sonic the hedgehog UA-cam channel posted all three episodes as one compilation and there’s an extra bonus after credit scene too ua-cam.com/video/8ZK8bse3Quo/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Thst rude how you spoke about rouge pal you rude rouge is important too shadow wouldn't got to far without rouge help you know maybe i may say idc about shadow i care about rouge more hey? Why do people they don't care about other characters but they like shadow only seriously idc it his yr guys seriously think for once
@@MasonParkinson ohhhh ok sorry but yh they both coolest the animation they made is so beautiful actually and the sing they finally making progress in sega by creating songs to sonic series finally so yh definitely beautiful

well they just released a full version with the 3 episodes together plus a bonus scene

I love to see more flashbacks of shadow and maria like that.
peak animation i swear, i screamed as well lmao 😂
amazing reaction video as always ❤
its so damn good, thank you for cooking the thumbnail ❤
Miss ya, CJ.
Future hubby and wifey, OML!!!
What's crazy is they uploaded the compilation of all three episodes plus bonus footage right before you uploaded this...
literally JUST as i got finished watching it, you could not write it 😭
I’ve seen this so many times, one bittersweet thing I noticed was that Shadow’s vision of him and Maria at the end was in the same field of flowers he was sleeping in the beginning.
THUMBNAIL IS LEGENDARY
Fr
lmaoooo 😭CJ cooked hard!!
It amazing and legendary that for sure
The thumbnail is worth it
And it priceless
I came to say that's the best thumnail art I've seen for Dark Beginnings. 10/10
Me too
That thumbnail is the best one that will ever come out of this channel. It caught me off guard, killed me, and will now appear in my mind whenever I see your name. Thank you CJ Puppet!

Didn't expect the thumbnail but I desperately needed it 😭
lmaooo 😭i never knew how much I needed it too
Mason randomly: 🙂😀🙂😀🙂😀🙂😀🙂😀😀🙂😀🙂😀🙂😀🙂😀🙂😀
Also Mason: *Not talking*
Fr
“They’ve killed her already. Oh, false alarm.” 💀 DUDE I ACTUALLY CACKLED
Shadow is going through his emotions for the first time
i was not expecting it to be as sad as it was
@@MasonParkinson me neither it was sad enough to bring a tear to my eyes literally
I wanna see the Sonic movies animated in this style
oh my god YES, i would love to see sonic movies in this sorta style
@@MCWhenSquared They originally wanted to make the Sonic movies animated, but then Sony, that's where they originally pitched the movies to, wanted it to be live-action
Shadow!!! 😭😭😭 That ending made me cry
the ending got me so close, its so damn good man i need more stuff like this NOW
Roses are red, shadows are black,
Running through darkness, never turning back.
Poor Shadow 😭
But this prologue was amazing 😍
Also glad that you're going to stop making jokes about Maria dying, Mason 😅
Here's a take: If they were ever to remake SA2, I'd want all the in-game cutscenes redone in this style.
Have the whole game in this style (mostly for consistency tbh)
You waited weeks until you can watch all three of them? Respect.
i did 😎
@@MasonParkinson You're one of the good ones, Mason.
In the compilation from the Sonic The Hedgehog acount, there is a end credit scene
is there? you're telling me they posted a version with new stuff in it after i recorded this man what the hell 😭
@@MasonParkinson yeah 😅
The ending is the best part, I love it! I am the type of person who is more into emotional story moments than action scenes, so this made my week! It was incredible and I hope the game reflects more on Shadow and Maria's relationship.

Sonic X Shadow Generations Dark beginnings was just amazing!
Yeah bro! That was so good right?! Also I liked your reaction and I don't think anyone is gonna make any joke about Maria dying after this..
THE FIGHTS WERE SO PEEEAK and i was at the brink of tears when shadow was having a mental breakdown
Love the thumbnail that CJ made for you man 👌🔥
i love it too, she cooked very hard 🙏
12:42 I cried at that moment 🟥⬛🦔🔫
11:40 bro thought I wouldn’t catch that
Get someone who looks at you like the way Shadow looks at Mason in the thumbnail
I think it was a decent choice to watch them in a full animation since each one really felt short since all three parts were so immersing!
honestly as much as i hated the wait, it was so worth it to watch it all in one sitting
The Thumbnail LMAO😭
look man my obsession with Shadow the Hedgehog is completely normal 😃
@@MasonParkinson i think you’re inlove with Shadow, ngl
The thumbnail is crazy and funny 🤣
😁 It's Great To See Your Videos And Hear Your Voice , Mason!
I got here as fast as I could click on the video love that you’re doing this mason ❤
thank you!! people wanted to see me watch it so here it is lol
THIS SERIES WAS AWESOME!!!! (Also ther’s a bonus scene to Dark Beginnings. Btw. 😊)
The extra “ending” is just a shot of black doom
The thumbnail went absolutely hard 😎
THE THUMBNAIL CONFIRMS MASONADOW IS REAL!!!!
💀💀🙏🙏🔥🔥
When I got the notification for this video, I literally screamed at the thumbnail and I’m like is Mason is Ga- with shadow?!?
Looks cool thumbnail will be remembered for years
I loved all of it!!! I’m glad that you loved it too!
its so damn GOOD, they cooked so hard w/ it
@@MasonParkinson I KNO RIGHT??? At the last episode I had been internally crying!!!
Not even seconds after the title of the first episode, he says "When does Maria die?" 💀💀😭😭😭😭😭😭
Thumbnail goes crazy 🙏🙏
You and CJ should have both reacted to the show. It is good. Especially if you see the added end credit scene.
That thumbnail is peak!
Could we finally, have our Rouge and Omega voice actors?!😉🖤🤍❤
Great video Mason.💙
