Fascinating that Kirk Thornton is still "Shadow's NEW VA"... Sonic Free Riders, the game where everyone's new VAs debuted, came out in 2010, 14 years ago.
Because to be fair, in how many mainline games has he voice acted? I think only generations and forces and those were minor roles, all in all this is his first big appearance as shadow in a mainline tittle
The *He* that Shadow mentioned of surviving, was not gerald, he was describing Black Doom. Why exactly? First, you have to remember that Shadow was MANIPULATED by Doom by using his memories of Maria, and as Shadow falls to the void, 3 eyes and 2 alien hands come to crush and wake him, and it was none other than Black Doom himself. And last, Shadow already knows gerald was going to die since he obviously didn't kill him, it was Black Doom that Shadow killed
Shadow did kill Black Doom back in the previous game of Shadow the hedgehog and Shadow did put his past behind him after he defeat Black Doom. And yes, the Time Eater was Eggman and his past variant known as Robotnik but maybe Black Doom from a different timeline must have followed them without Eggman and Robotnik notice. Remember Black Doom is not immortal.
@@johnsantos507Not exactly. The stuff happening here is BEFORE the time eater shows up and the events of gens begin. This could very well mean black doom did actually survive on his own
@@johnsantos507 How what? Black doom doesn't even seem like a random after effect of the time eater from what we've seen of the game itself. Every other returning villain is limited and constrained to their own little zones and time periods in white space... not doom tho. This animation shows him effecting stuff even OUTSIDE of white space. Which no one else did before. The devs themselves implied he's actually alive in some of the interviews
I love Kirks voice. I just hate how so many people HAVE to bring up Jason Griffith when “praising” Kirks voice. Its always like “Kirk sound good but Jason sound better.” So I appreciate that you were able to appreciate Kirk’s voice acting without glazing Jason (Especially since I personally prefer Kirk)
Once you beat sonic battle, you get access to Gerald’s diary and there’s tons of lore in there. I’m not sure how exactly it’s done, maybe look up on the wiki how to get access to it in-game but it has a bunch of stuff in there
SA2: I'll go there and relive my trauma Shadow gens: want to see me do it again? But fr Sega give me a whole ass anime/movie in this style and my life is yours
Im not a 100% sure, but the fight with Emerl may have happened. In Sonic battle is explained how Emerl came to be in the Ark. He was found by Dr. Gerald and due to his craft of unknown origin the Doctor decided to study him, but later something went wrong and Emerl started to wreak havoc on the Ark. This event happened way before the G.U.N invasion.
13:06 Emerl was just one of the subjects to study. It was created by a clan of echidnas called the Nocturnus, who were at odds with the clan where Knuckles was. And GUN, on the other hand, didn't find out about Shadow, but about the Biolizard, who was Shadow's prototype, so you were partly right that they confused Shadow with the real purpose
