Has actual motives for battling Sonic, isn't just evil for no reason

>has actual motives for battling Sonic, isn't just evil for no reason
>has a backstory that backs up his ideology and said motives consequently
>design based on the mural of Super Sonic in hidden palace zone in Sonic 3, thus ties into the actual world he exists in as a natural extension of its prophecies
remind me why pizzafaces in the gaming community all agree he's "cringe"? meanwhile counterparts like Wario and Metal Sonic are shallow as hell, are just placed in the universe to be an uninspired "meet your match", and seen as good characters.

he's a deviant art oc that puts the story on a screeching halt to make it about him so he can "sacrifice himself" in a mellow dramatic ending. It wasn't sincere because he came back immediately, Shadow is the embodiment of a "suicidal depressed teenager" that doesn't commit suicide. Meanwhile Gamma did exactly what he did in a well done way, and actually stayed dead with his brothers in order to allow the animals to live freely. Shadow is a bad character and kids who grew up with him are the only ones that like him.

He's an actual character in the comics.

Because internet people said that thing is bad so therefor thing is bad.

>Shadow is the embodiment of a "suicidal depressed teenager" that doesn't commit suicide
give me one example of him being this

I WANNA FUCK THAT RABBIT UNF

H-H-H-He s-s-said d-d-d-damn s-so h-h-h-he’s e-e-edgy and c-c-cringe

he has been better handled ever since, but his design is still ugly to me

by killing himself but not really

>using curse words = emo teenager
ok

>remind me why pizzafaces in the gaming community all agree he's "cringe"?
his red and black color scheme is enough for pathetic redditors to scream "EDGY! CRINGE! EDGY! CRINGE!"

>caring about Story/Lore in a gotta go fast game

Are you this cringe about Mario Kart as well?

>by killing himself but not really
he didn't intentionally kill himself, that was just the result of the battle. perfectly normal for a videogame

>It wasn't sincere because he came back immediately
it's okay when nintendo does it.

I was being sarcastic.

Probably because the games Wario appeared in after his debut game fleshed him out to be more likable and interesting, also his spinoffs were pretty good. Shadow's later game appearances would be in a lot of incomplete lazy shovelware by Sonic Team that most of the time either shat on everything built up so far or didn't add anything interesting.
Now they just flanderize him to be funny edgy man and nothing like he was in SA2.

Also simplistic characters can still be good, they don't have to have in depth backstories to be likable, it just helps (when it's well written that is). People like Pac Man and he's just a circle.

fpbp

he's not cringe, he's edgy.
Being that cringe was a different term to today, he's and will ever be an Edgelord

>shitting on Wario to defend an edgy Sonic recolor
You just crossed the line you Linkin Park motherfuck

his entire personality is farting and wanting money. truly riveting stuff from that hack miyamoto.

>Wario
>shallow counterpart
Wario has managed to become his own character. He’s not even counterpart anymore. All his games are significantly different. He has his own cast of characters. Meanwhile shadow is stuck with sonic. Even his own game couldn’t get him away from sonic.

Because fags like you trying to insert your deviantart character into the original games is cringe.

Cant speak for wario but metal sonic does have motivation.

What are his motives for battling Sonic?

>that puts the story on a screeching halt to make it about him
Please explain what the hell this actually means

Maybe because that's all they needed to be such in earnest? Metal Sonic works best when he's just a strong obstacle, when he tries to take charge (Sonic Heroes) it more or less ruins what he is. Wario only eolved into something more thanks towards completely separating him from everything else Mario for so long he could have his own setting and world that worked around him be a challenge to overcome. Hell in the Wario World series wario can't even DIE in some of them, showing that they made a world for him, instead of just keeping him apart of mario's world.

Shadow though is trying to puzzle peace himself into an already established and long running series, and he's just one more dick in a dick parade. Rouge worked because before her the only other -female- was fucking AMY, and Blaze worked for the same freaking reason. But Shadow's problems not just his own, Silver gets treated worse, Big before him utterly worse, Babylon Rouges are forgotten in most topics, and while Cream snuck in, Marine and other 'kid' counterparts to sit along tails have been meet with a lot of groans as well.

A lot of Shadows problems comes from the fact that the base he's trying o fill is oversatuated, and a ton of others also trying to fit into that base aren't getting any love either. Hell the ONLY reason why Omega's become a fan fav is because he's a fucking ROBOT that lasted more then a single game, and the only other one is METAL SONIC, so that's been a nitch empty of other similar cast members, even Emeral is accountable in that thanks towards this lack of robotic cast.

I like Shadow, but even as the final boss Magolor was never edgy. Final boss Marx now that was an edgelord

yes, Yokoi made him, but Miyamoto's the reason he's not allowed to go anywhere else because has has a huge boner for Toads

I wonder if Toads are small because of his small dick

nigger, you need to stop going "BUT NINTENDO" every time someone talks about something stupid thats in sonic games
