Yeah he's the one who cares for them most. A guy made a video on it a while back, it was a video on how they have been doing shadows character wronge since SA2 which he is correct on. He uses Canon stuff and all and shadow is very soft with choa
Despite his intimidating demeanor, you can see that Shadow does care.. he just has difficulty in expressing his real feelings and emotions. Plus, he's a conflicted character which makes him more interesting.
Pfft! If anything he's been doing what he's been doing BECAUSE he cares! Eggman and Infinite KILLED TONS of people! Do you BLAME him for wanting Dr. Eggmonster DEAD?!
A quick scan of the comments there seems to be a misconception that Shadow doesn't normally care about anything. Absolutely not true. Shadow is stoic alot of the time but he cares deeply. He just shows it in his own way.
He does, but sadly the recent direction Sega has been taking his character has made him seem cold and selfish. And so for newcomers to the series, it will give them the idea that-that's all he is.
Shadow might be an edge lord, but he even has a heart. And when you do something that he sees unforgivable, he will not hesitate to hunt you down and face justice.
I’d love to see a Last Ronin style comic featuring Shadow as a brutal, grizzled vigilante in some alternate future where Dr. Eggman won and Shadow is the only survivor of the war between the Freedom Fighters and Eggman. Crawling through the criminal underbelly of an industrial city under militaristic tyranny to get intel on the ones calling the shots as he climbs the ladder of criminal and corporate corruption to find his way to a Robotnik absolutely mad with power and finish the war that all his friends died fighting.
You already have a great idea! So drawing isn't needed if you can write down an idea. BUT also keep in mind, that doodles to show your story can also work if the concept and story are great. One Punch Man is a great example of this, so never give up 😉
Now This Would be an Interesting Novel. Would you Write Flashback Scenes for Each Death? And if so would They All Lead Up to Sonic's? Or up to Team Dark's?
@@sebastiancalvey1226 Hmm, flashbacks do fit Shadow, it would help flesh out the story to see how he lost each person in his life and show why he is as violent and merciless as he’s become.
Shadow surprisingly didn't just chaos spear him in the head. You'd think he would of, especially considering his own imprisonment and views on letting criminals go.
@@dawnstar9557 You do remember Shadow stole from a Chao in the Team Sonic Racing short? That's modern Shadow, a complete dick. I like the old Shadow, the one who actually had a heart.
@@crossfire34 Well....... He still does have a heart, like how he's a philanthropist and has a soft spot for kitties. I admit they're making Shadow a little bit different than the Shadow we know, like they want to make him ONLY Edgy but I loved how the Twitter Takeover tells us that he still has a heart..... just not the same kind of heart as back then. They need to reevaluate what they're doing, Shadow can still be edgy but give Shadow back his heart from back then. You know?
Always restraint a bad guy after knocking them down, unless you want more content on your media and let them monologue and continue phase 2 of the boss battle
I can relate to Shadow 100%, if I saw a bunch of abused animals or even women trapped in a penthouse I would knock the Shady guy's ass out too. If I was pissed off even more I would probably break almost every bone in his body slowly, one by one. Seriously though, those are my thoughts and how I would react..... if the law didn't hold me back because of being so powerful that is. I am not This makes me like Shadow even more. He's my favorite character, one of the main reasons is because both of us have a heart but we're also edgy, moreso Shadow but if you got to know me on a deep enough level you'll see my edginess. I actually want to have dyed red highlights in honor of Shadows red on his quills, one of these days. I still play Sonic games, watch Sonic shows, and read Sonic comics because of my teenage nostalgia for the franchise.
I remember the Sonic Apologist once saying he thinks Shadow was the one who spent the most time in the Chao Garden. It makes sense, because he associates helpless individuals with his memories of Maria or otherwise. It stems from his empathy.
Shadow being a chao dad is the most wholesome thing. The mistreatment of the creatures is so wrond because just look at them. If it was a darkz light or neutral they are too CUTE!!!!!!
Where can I read this? This is a really cool plot line and brings out the better parts of shadow. I can see him identifying with the trafficked chao because he was once treated like a product himself. That aside, trafficking chao is like trafficking babies. It doesn't get any nastier than that and I don't even want to think about what different, evil customers would do with them...
There’s plenty of people who prefer 2005’s edgy Shadow and I’m not one of them. Shadow The Hedgehog game was the fanbase’s idea because they wanted Sonic to use a gun and is the only sonic game with so much swearing (I’m pretty sure SEGA doesn’t care for that game and just said “Here’s what you wanted, don’t ask us to make something like this again”). Even though I love the bosses and gameplay, I hate how they portrayed Shadow in the neutral and dark routes as a uncaring person who “does whatever he wants” when in true lore, he fights for what he believes is right. He doesn’t hate Sonic, instead he has major respect for him as well as sees him as good friend (he just gets annoyed time and time over due to Sonic’s cockiness and never bothering the take fights seriously) and goes as far to say that he’s probably the true ultimate life form. He’s a friendly rival to Sonic, a mentor to Silver, an older brother to Cream, a son to Gerald, best friends with Maria, Rouge and Omega, he owns a Chao that looks like him and he loves cats. What better character could I ask for?
It makes sense because when you think about it, wasn't Shadow locked in the capsule knowing he felt utterly trapped in front of Maria's dying wish? You could argue he felt more emotion as it reminded him of a similar event and how it affected him
Ok can someone please help me understand shadows weird, relationship with everyone, in sa2 shadow didn't care much for rouge or eggman but after seeing maria in his mind he went to save rouge, shadow even after words still didn't care about anyone yet after talking to Amy when he remembers Maria's wish he actually becomes the hero and trys to protect everyone..in heroes shadow has amnesia yet cares about rouge and omega even while having amnesia being fun rivels with sonic, shadow the hedgehog, that game shadows relationship with everyone is him in the not caring mood again, but it does change shadow somehow remembers Maria's wish in the hero ending and helps protect everyone again rarely is their a moment where shadow cares..o6 shadow does care about rouge and omega and even sonic, he even got hurt founding out in the future omega locks him up but he still hangs with rouge and omega, and still trust in them.genarations theirs nothing really their, forces, shadow becomes a bully like character to infinite and basically don't care about anyone, it's even confirmed by Sega shadow doesn't view rouge and omega as friends at all.. sonic team raceing shadow is basically the same he's some what of a bully but that's in the sonic team raceing mani series,...not counting boom or black nights sense boom isn't connected to the main story at all and black nights shadow is a different character from shadow.. I've heard in the comments and some videos that shadow is a careless being in the comics and don't care about anyone or anything,.. x shadow is in similar as sa2 him, in season 3 is where changes happen he started off not caring about anyone but still protected rouge and eggman, it wasn't tell he met molly did he change he started off not caring about her rather viewed her annoying but then liked her getting worried about her and even really trying to protect her.... shadow is all over the place Though his chaos powers the same, remember the ending where shadow basically saved the world in his game, well hero shadow is based around that.. it's a justice and peace and releases shadows inner spirit given form which endings show like shadow wanting to make a empire that can be peace given or saving the world, dark shadow is similar it's the form of vengeance and evil yet, shadow trys to destroy the planet in one ending yet an a different one he uses it to protect the ark...so strange his inhibitor Rings are also similar chaos shadow the form he takes in the comics when his inhibitor Rings are off, it is a destructive form that destroys with no care, similar to comic shadow...a scene in x happened when shadow was in his pode the inhibitor Ring Chris had glew red in response to the chaos emeralds while he was fine crash, shadow then blew up the pode and instantly one shot the metarix powered by 2 chaos emeralds with no remorse before collapsing near eggman and rouge..the golden ora like in o6 when shadow took his inhibitor Rings off is like this when eggman send shadow out to protect him and everyone from a near invincible ship while shadow didn't get his inhibitor Rings back, shadow struggled to do anything to it before a out of knower gold yellow or came as he got powerful enough to push back the ship and harmed it but he got knocked out the yellow ora came again in the Molly episode where he destroyed a metarix fleet... In o6 when shadow took his inhibitor Rings off instead of it destroying everything around it and only being around shadow it was also around rouge and omega protecting them, what's happening here?
At least Shadow cares about the chao since he didn’t seem to care about anything, even his own freaking safety
Ikr they wrote Shadow so bad in IDW I'm surprised they actually had him care about Chao at all lmao
@@DeltaZard123 In their defense that was something Sega wanted. I think it's because they became more strict after the Archie comics

It doesn’t work but still he try’s at least instead of look for the villain
But after everything Sonic talks to him and says he’s grateful shadow came shadow says something I can’t remember the words
But from behind the tree he throws an apple to a chao that looks like him!
Like come on
I’m so glad they let Evan write these stories cause she understands shadows character
She has her own fan comic called “Ghost of the future” and she gets shadow character really good there
You know your doin some SHIT when even shadow is disgusted
Shadow would be disgusted generally to be honest.
If you were to stare at him, he would just look at you and go:
*"The fuck you looking at?"*
@@RealGoofyAsh He's similar to gangster members in Fallout Las Vegas

There are some traits I don't like about Shadow, sure, but he's my favorite character in the franchise.

He does, but sadly the recent direction Sega has been taking his character has made him seem cold and selfish. And so for newcomers to the series, it will give them the idea that-that's all he is.
Exactly, Shadow is not an edgelord really. He's just more introverted and blunt.
He is just hurt. I knew he was just hurt for caring and losing (more like took away, but the point stands).
He only cares for a few people deeply, everyone and everything else, he’s mostly indifferent to.
I am glad that they are allowing Shadow to be who he is! Cuz they did him very dirty during the zombie arc.
Shadow might be an edge lord, but he even has a heart. And when you do something that he sees unforgivable, he will not hesitate to hunt you down and face justice.
*unforgivable
Thanks for correcting me
