Well according to Ken Sega told him nothing about Shadow so he didn’t know what to do with him. That’s just his view point who really knows what happened.
If there’s one thing I respect about Snively it’s that he doesn’t want his sister to get hurt even if he’s too scared of his uncle to stand up for himself
He still hurt her badly in a different way, made her feel guilty about leaving knothole to the point where she couldn’t face the freedom fighters for the rest of the comics run out of shame, yeah he didn’t get her killed but he still destroyed her emotionally and did it again when he came begging for her help.
24:21 Ian Flynn wanted to make Maria's death more personal to Eggman so that's why he changed it to Maria being his half sister than cousin and one thing that made me sad and kinda disappointed is that Shadow in the Archie comics never talked about Maria with Hope and why he was so protective of her on their first meeting because she looks like his dead sister
No that a bs retcon case by Ken penders Which Ian have to Rectify and he also say that eggman was possibly lying to shadow to Manipulate him to be on his side also is still confirmed in the pre genesis wave that Maria is still eggman cousin
Yeah eggman Lie to shadow by saying Maria was his half Sister to manipulate shadow like that Literally The definition of manipulating someone By saying some lie that is not true
That was quite a contribution to the Year of Shadow and, regarding the IDW situation, SEGA turned down the limiter idea because they felt it was too early to depict Shadow going all-out with his chaos powers & Shadow getting infected b/c of his hubris was always the plan on Ian Flynn’s part even though he wishes he could’ve handled it a lot better. Looking at Shadow overall, from the games to the non-Archie media, he can be an actual character, its just that we’re dealing with a traumatized individual & he isn’t as light-hearted like the others. We all have to be patient, and let SEGA’s devs cook when they can. But yet, at least they try to listen. Thank you once more… -CVGWJames
1:28:56 I should mention how interesting this is, as it clearly is based on Sonic Chronicles with Emerl’s connection to Echidna history. But if they got into it more, I think they probably change the context of the Gizoids to not be connected to the Nocturnes Clan.
I believe in Adventure 2, it's implied that Sonic could've escaped his prison easily, but he was waiting for confirmation that Shadow was on the island so he could confront him again.
1:48:09 Not entirely for Dark Mobius Shadow as Ian Flynn did have a story on the blogs of the official Archie website that went into more in depth into the history and post Silver Saga of Dark Mobius. One of these stories was Dark Mobius Abraham Tower telling the president how much of a massive failure the attack on Enerjak was, the last he heard of Team Dark was when they were fighting Enerjak, and wishes for the President’s political stance to pretend that Abe went rogue and sent a large chunk of G.U.N. to attack Enerjak without the President’s permission. For more info, there’s a video that tells the story of these blogs on UA-cam by HSquid Reviews.
To be fair with the metal virus outbreak, Sonic had previously triggered Shadow's guilt and PTSD from his past manipulations to prevent Shadow from imprisoning Eggman. When Eggman then unleaded the metal virus it highlighted to Shadow that Sonic was WRONG. Thus why agree to do what he says after last time. Also Shadow is literally designed to be Immune to everything, it's like Superman first encountering Krypton. He really doesn't think he can be infected.
I think the evil future shadow is acting in a way that shadow never would because the dude is kind and cares about others, even if he has his walls up due to his trauma
45:41 I think there are tons of Anarchy Beryl in Moebius. Since the unification of the emeralds probably didn’t happened due to different events. Also I remember the throne being said to be made out of Anarchy Beryl somewhere, but I don’t know where.
An excellent tribute to our favorite Ultimate Lifeform. Would definitely be into more videos like this in the future. Although I think you kinda messed up certain names, like Lien-Da and Prelates.
At the start I didn't appreciate the story about the sol emerald, not because of the betray, but because it was too chaotic for my taste. But then I loved how Shadow learned his lesson.
Archie shadow is the best shadow to ever exist (alongside Prime, 06, Sonic X and now SXSH gens shadow), his dynamics with the other characters (especially the friendships he had with team Dark, Hope and Sonic) are great, he’s not a brooding jerk 90% of the time when can see him caring for others, we got to see him interact with the other Sonic rivals which made for some interesting stories, he wasn’t super OP and had his weaknesses from time to time and his internal struggle with his place in the world and sense of duty, I can’t really say anything bad about him, except for King Shadow but that wasn’t the shadow we came to know anyway, sadly I don’t think Idw Shadow will ever compare to Archie Shadow but that’s not idw’s fault it’s a lot to live up to and the mandates are always a issue, but I hope in the future he improves whenever they decide to pick his character up again
@@Seeyou45 yeah that’s true and honestly you do make a good point, especially with the comics being based off of Sonic sat am and the other Sonic cartoon back in the day like you said, which could explain why shadow the hedgehog history in the comics was a mess in my opinion.
This very video is why. All of my energy was dedicated towards finishing it while it was still the Year of Shadow. You’ll be happy to hear that every video after will be IDW related until I catch up.
@MegabeatmanTrueBlueReviews Another thing I wanted to talk you about is what do you think will happen after the restoration's destruction since following comics seems to allude to this. One thing I wanted to mention is that way back when Surge and Kit joined the restoration I assumed that it would be this huge avengers disassembled like event which would see the destruction the restoration HQ among other ideas which saw people lose faith and even leave the restoration for allowing all these villains to come so far. To summarize, the restoration in any form would be screwed, at least someone of the good guys hospitalizes and Lanolin facing the consequences of her actions which would see the IDW sonic comic permanently affected by this

You forgot that Shadow saved Doctor Light from Robotnic’s version of a death sentence.

Also on the complete sonic Encyclopedia on eggman family tree it show that Maria is eggman Cousin on it
I thought Ian said he was bluffing his connection to Maria to get Shadow on his side
Yeah eggman Lie to shadow by saying Maria was his half Sister to manipulate shadow like that Literally The definition of manipulating someone By saying some lie that is not true

Thanks so much for making this. The Archie Sonic Comics, while not perfect, have the best writing for the Sonic characters.

That’s right fans! Sonic has canonically told Shadow he needs to get laid.
To be fair with the metal virus outbreak, Sonic had previously triggered Shadow's guilt and PTSD from his past manipulations to prevent Shadow from imprisoning Eggman. When Eggman then unleaded the metal virus it highlighted to Shadow that Sonic was WRONG. Thus why agree to do what he says after last time.

Great job man on shadow the hedgehog Archie comic history.
Perfect video for a Shadow the Hedgehog fan like me!
Finally got around to this! Awesome video dude!

*Archie Shadow is the best Shadow* 👌

Wow. When you said this was long I definitely wasn’t expecting a near 2 hour video. Well done.
Great video

Mecha Sonic Mark III would've made an interesting boss for Shadow.
Glad you're still going!

58:10 Late Preboot Archie Shadow is main series Shadow if he mellowed out a bit.

Damn treasure team Tango was Og Archie shadows last appearance! That was a few years before the reboot wasn’t it?
Did archie sonic say han solos line never tell me the odds
Personally for me Archie shadow the hedgehog history is super confusing in my opinion.
Always have been.
@ yeah that’s true and you are right about that
Remember they originally were based on the DiC cartoons before Pivoting to the games.

I hope Geoffrey st John is next aka Archie comics most HATED Sonic Character
🤩🎧👏
i'm so glad the king shadow thing was erased from existence. Genually the most stupid fanfic idea I ever had the displeasure of reading
You're lame :p👎
Mobius Years Later was a mistake.
What the hell even IS this story?!?
Why haven't you done any of the recent IDW comics
