Eclipse The Darkling: "Brother" of Shadow The Hedgehog 

Eclipse was interesting because he seemed to only want a family.

This will definitely be the year of Shadow The Hedgehog.

Shadow really needs his own rival like Eclipse, it'd give him something to do outside of pointlessly antagonizing Sonic in the games.

Seriously, the Archie Reboot era had so many good ideas & concepts!! It had the perfect world-building & made Sonic's universe more lively! I just wish they added most of it to the games already

Eclipse is a sadly loose end left in Archies

I miss Eclipse.

If I had one wish for Eclipse, I would've liked to see him fight Dark Gaia's minions. How would he fare against them? Imagine if Whisper and her Wisps took on Ellipse and his Dark Arms. I hope Sonic Team creates another Ultimate Lifeform, but this time with Mother Wisp's DNA.

I wish IDW could get us a version of Eclipse, Surge is basically their version of Scourge so we can have an evil Sonic, now we need an evil Shadow.

Alright! More Archie Lore. Didn't know about this guy either. Haven't made it that far in the Archie stuff yet

May Eclipse rest well… until SEGA has a change of heart.

Not to go off topic but, Sonic 06 despite its infamous history of rushed development and broken mechanics, Shadow has one of the best story arcs ever to grace the franchise. It established what future outcomes that goes in his direction and eventually he need to face a bigger threat.

I loved reboot Archie i wish I could have gone on a little bit longer!

“So f***ing corny.” -Shadow

SEGA could easily adapt this story into the game continuity although alter it so it doesn't include Archie Sonic characters like Snivley and Relic. Maybe he might show up in Sonic X Shadow Generations? Or another game.

Still think they gonna show up in sonic generations and being a time paradox afterwards

The next mammoth mogul a mafia type villain who in idw was replaced by Clutch the Opossum

It would be awesome if in shadow generations instead of time travel, we're just going through shadow's mind and in the end doom's eye becomes eclipse and manifests into reality.

I hope Eclispe is a Boss in SXSG.

Thank goodness this sub-series hasn't been abandon! I was re-watching your video on the Iron Queen yesterday and hoping you would do more content like it, funny how that works. 🤭 Anyway, great video! Good choice of character and thank you for making this video! 👏

i am happy to see another character analysis from you 👍

it's nice to see you still doing videos on Archie even after all these years!! your content has definitely enriched my experiences with the comic

I really enjoyed the fight and tension between Knuckles and Shadow in this story

Eclipse design was really cool

kind of a shame we didn't see an all out war involving sonic the remaining black arms eggman and dark Gaia.

This was such a great analysis! It makes me want to pick up the Archie comics and read them again. You’ve earned yourself a sub! 😊

Honestly, I really just want Eclipse to become Game-canon. At this point I don't really care how badly it's written because EVERYONE has been poorly written for a while now. Essentially, Eclipse becoming Canon could have a rough start and I would be fine with that, as long as he improves in writing alongside the other characters. He also has an advantage in that regard due to him not having much to him to worry about screwing up. He's dedicated to the survival of his species and swore revenge against Shadow. That is extremely simplified, which can be dangerous to do with a character, but as long as those 2 traits stick around, I am fine with WHATEVER we would get if he joined the canon cast.

Eclipse was great. While I'm not the biggest fan of reboot Archie, the Eclipse storyline was pretty great.

I could see IDW doing a plot line involving the legacy of the Black Arms, perhaps survivors of worlds consumed by the Black Arms coming to Sonic's world(Mobius) to track down the last remnants of the Black Arms: Shadow, and or Black Arms Eggs that Black Doom could've stashed away somewhere.

Cool

I thought he was an OC I saw on DeviantArt, but he's actually real. Wow.

while i find him having his own wisp a bit hokey do like eclipse handling the dark arms better being if shadow never moved on/if he fully turned and alongside being a rival to shadow(that we don't see done with outside crossover fights with vegeta/if sonic ever had a collaboration somehow with disgaea love to see him with laharl & killia/valvatorez or shadow be paralleled with iori from kof as outside the rival angle they are the most rather similar character-wise.:3)would've been interesting seeing him interacting with the dark gaia spawn or his wisp absorbing their energy if unleashed wasn't rushed.

Shadow should’ve just look like this

I never heard of this guy. I think it's a neat idea.

An interesting character 🙂

You should analyze my favorite character, Nicole.

I hope Black Doom, Eclipse, and the Black Arms could comeback

Maybe he was wiped out from the timeline or went into hiding

Hm, how very interesting, I wonder if there would be possible for a IDW variant to make an appearance? Probably not, but still. Actually, here’s a Fun Question: which Archie Character would you like to see be reintroduced in IDW?

What is that dragon thing that Eclipse has on his arm?

Mephiles but Archie

Why is eclipse does not wear shoes?

it's not dark it's alien call him the eclipse the alien
