!g*mers tendies still cant debunk this

You wanna know why no one takes Shadow seriously ever?

Because he was a victim of a concerted hitpiece and character assassination by nintendie game journ*lists the world over. All gaming magazines and online sites tried to ridicule Shadow the Hedgehog for using a gun and looking all grim and dark. They've always hated Sega and Sonic and once they left the console industry with the Dreamcast it was like a feeding frenzy dumping carcasses into an aquarium full of ravenous sharks. These same chucklefricks are also responsible for the "Sonic has too many stupid friends" meme due to Sonic Heroes also coming out prior. Basically by the mid 2000s it was all free game for these journ*lists to rank on Sonic without impunity because Sega was now a 3rd party developer and they could take revenge on Nintendo for the past. They were so insanely butthurt over the ads Sega used to do back then ranking on Nintendo, their mentality is childish much like Movieblob, someone who cant let go of the past and remains stalwart and everso indignant.

So Shadow the Hedgehog is in fact, a salient arc in his character, his origins, and his relationship with everyone else. Nevermind the iffy gunplay, of which isnt even that edgy. There was a perfect capstone to Shadow's character but it all got retconned and memoryholed due to a bunch of nerds ganging up on his game. Now you cant ever talk about this game seriously or admit you ever liked it because those same nerds are still here. Those journos used typical 2000s robot chicken/family guy tier insincerity and humor to mock Shadow the Hedgehog, to appear more mature and smug about this shit. But of course, a fat cute twink italian plumber spinning around in space forcefeeding baby cartoon stars that giggle is A-OK and not worthy of mockery because its from the Almighty Nintendo.

Frick people who hate Shadow The Hedgehog, is what Im saying. Youre all the unwitting spawns of a callous industry thats always had it out for sincerity.

this pasta aged horribly. you can openly like shadow 05 now (heck 06 apologia is popular enough to see on /v/ occasionally), shadow generations even uses several elements from it. we're just long past this era of sonic discourse imo. did journos and tendies go too hard on sonic after the one two punch shadow 05 and sonic 06? yes, but sonic fans themselves are known for being incredibly divided and having absolutely no clue what they actually want. we're at a rare stage right now where almost everybody agrees shadow generations is great and that the future of sonic is looking up. feels like a lot of people wanna try and pretend we aren't.

His real name is fricking Robotnik, Eggman is a fricking nickname. It's been like that since 1998

I thought he was called eggman because that was actually a robot clone of him that had a somewhat rotund egg shape.

Youre actually thinking of the fricking original Archie comics. In those Sonic's rogues gallery included Robotnik, an Evil Sonic and RoboRobotnik, in issue 50 of the fricking comics Robotnik was fricking killed and then in issue 100 RoboRobotnik decided to upload his consciousness to a fricking new body which was fricking identical to the fricking modern design and decided to call himself Eggman from then on

Frick every little BABY who doesn't appreciate the MATURE THEMES Shadow introduces and wants to keep shoving in the MARVEL-QUIPPING BLUE BABY into the spotlight instead. Might as well run back to your BARNEY SHOW or your FAMILY MATTERS if you don't have the maturity to appreciate TRUE STRUGGLE.
