Shadow's apperance in SA2 was perfect, he had an entire character arc and was pretty chill by the end, and best of all he fucking died. If he had just stayed dead like he was supposed to then he'd be one of the most fondly remembered characters of the series, like Gamma.
Is he a bad character? Did he kill the Sonic series in retrospect?
No, he's the most beloved character aside Sonic.
amy killed the franchise, animal girls let the furries in
can we get game titles per year alongside this, i don't have a encyclopedic knowledge of sonic release dates
You know Sonic 1 was bundled with the Genesis right? Retard.
Eggman has always been a comic relief type villain with moments of genuine threat, and that still happens in modern games. I don't see how he's got it worse than Shadow being flandarized into his edgy fanfiction iteration.
He was alright in Adventure 2 and Heroes. The Shadow game is basically where they killed his character.
