my review: "damn that shit went hard as fuck. sure do wish it could've been a game" 😞

sometimes you see a take so idiotic all you can do is make a meme out of it

well at least if they're tipping heavier on the Sonic Boom side of the scales, they're being actually funny about it

that's another thing with Shadow, now that i think about it. turns out when you label a character as "the Ultimate Lifeform" to the point of it bordering on a personality trait but i'm getting ahead of myself, you end up writing yourself into a corner, where if he's not an antagonist you basically have to put him in this lamer version of bottom storage until the climax. bc if you didn't, then the conflict (and subsequently the story) would be over in a matter of minutes—character development and new, potentially interesting dynamics be dammed. this explains why, for as iconic as he is, sonic team has done practically jack shit with Shadow for the past 18 years, and why the most exciting thing to happen to him since is functionally a film adaptation of his debut
