one of the most interesting details of sa2 is how maria literally never even said she wanted revenge. sonic x included. gerald cherry picked her wording for shadow's memory and simply removed the words that expressed what she was asking for.

“though it’s understood that shadow means what he says.” I’ve been saying this for so long but man it’s awesome to see this written down officially somewhere
Sonic needs to lean into the cringe for it to hit different
Yes it’s cringe, yes the lore can get so weird and serious it’s funny, BUT IT JUST HITS DIFFERENT MAN

it’s been long enough, but this entire section of the story was so so perfect from dialogue to tone. it felt very in character all the way around and the essence of what makes a sonic story just feel like sonic, was strongly present I got so excited reading this.
shadow, listing all the things he hates about sonic: but no, i dont hate you.
sonic: wh
tails, amy, knuckles, eggman: AWWW SHADOWWWW YOU'RE SUCH A GUY! SO RESPECTABLE! SO ADMIRABLE!
sonic: what the fuck guys
shadow:
Sonic is also all about the adventure and getting excited for it, it fuels him, it's something he cherishes in his life. It's actually /very/ rare for him to feel afraid and I don't mean that in a shameful way either, it's just naturally how he deals with things.
