Sonic Movie 3 Shadow - Blog Posts

HIIIIII guyyyysss~ gotta drop this sonic study very fast because the anatomy literally killed me inside ❤️‍🔥🎀

Some of the tweeks are made by me according to my own head canons, so it ain't 120% accurate. (Except the missing quills on the back, there's 3 sets not two, fully my mistake that I just didn't see before and don't really have the time to fix it)

(Don't mess with Keanu Reeves or sonic will get you REAL FAST)

A lil close-up of the new rendering I'll partake

Cutsies, they were so well executed in the movie I was so happy

(I might drop some sonadow fan art, if you don't really like it just ignore it please, and if there were to be any homophobic or overall negative comments left about it on my platform they'll be deleted and you'll be blocked. I don't tolerate any type of negativity on any of my platforms about anything in general)

Sonic Movie 3 Sonic and Shadow dynamic conversation… spoilers ahead!

So I think a lot of us can agree the dynamic between Sonic and Shadow in this movie was great. Of course there was the discourse at first, Shadow being frustrated at first was understandable, same thing with Sonic when Tom was hurt. And then they came to a mutual respect on the moon. After the moon scene we even see them be playful with each other. “Don’t tell me you’ve got a catchphrase.” And “Just try to keep up” with a smile on Shadow’s face. It reminds you of what Sonic and Shadow used to have back in the day, a mutually respectful feeling towards each other and a fun rivalry where both loved the banter and competition.

My question is what are they doing to do to Sonic and Shadow’s relationship after this? We know Shadow is alive and they will inevitably meet again. In the games, the next time Shadow and Sonic see each other again after SA2, they still held that same wonderful dynamic. But with Sega’s current depiction of their relationship, I worry. Now-a-days, Shadow pretends to barely tolerate Sonic, dislikes working with him, while Sonic commonly teases him and seems to be the only one who enjoys the banter.

With how things in the movie ended off, Sonic and Shadow happily fighting alongside each other in an almost playful way; spinning around each other, bantering, smiling… I can’t imagine them going back to “the more you talk, the harder I want to hit you.” Even though that’s kinda how Shadow and Sonic’s video game relationship seems to be now.

If my theory is correct that Shadow shows up halfway through, possibly towards the end of Sonic 4 to help fight Metal (probably either Neo or Overlord at that point), I really hope they keep their demeanor towards each other positive. Sure, Shadow can be more serious, as usual, but please please Sega don’t make Shadow act like he’s frustrated to be working with Sonic.
