Sonic 3 But Not Kid Friendly 

I always loved Shadow. Everything about him just amazed me. His design, his personality, his strenght. But, his backstory. Made my heart sink. He lost one of his closest friends, and just memories of her traumatizes him. I know all villians don't cause chaos just for fun, they do it for a reason. And Shadow's reason for destruction and chaos in the games, really make me think that he deserves a second chance to be happy too.

Just off Shadow alone and his story Sonic 3 might be the most dark kids movie that's based off a video game. If they open Sonic 3 with Shadow's origin and Maria's death then that will immediately show Sonic 3 is gonna get serious and this ain't no happy,cheerful and funny movie like the first 2 stuff is gonna get serious and dark

Two childhood friends separated by the cruelty of humanity. Leaving only one of them alive in this world without her. To eventually seek revenge on every human that he thinks are to blame and destroy the world. Until he eventually learns that that was never what she wanted and she wanted them to befriend everyone on Earth not hurt them. Leaving him in tears to fix his mistake and to continue living in this world with her in his heart as a Hero. There's a reason why Shadow is the very best character. Everything about him speaks to us and his awesome powers and design. This movie has the age up. The first movie came out in 2020 but not this time everybody back then it should be 4 years older. They could handle a little bit matureness.

Dang I didn’t know this back story but I’m sure shadow will make a hecka of an edition to the next movie.

Darkest part of the game to me was Gerald's doomsday message. A still old man chained to a chair in a jail cell, stating his hatred for humanity and plan to destroy the world. Then footage turns red, as an off screen soldier asks him if he has anything else to say. When he says no, the last thing you hear is the soldier yelling 'READY!' before the video cuts out.

Thank you for making thsi video a lot of people don't understand how hard it's been for shadow and underestimate him so this truely proves how much trauma he's been through

Maria: give people a chance Shadow: *destroys everything trying to get the gem*

Well, in Sonic movies every main characters (but tails) lose a loved one. Sonic lost his mum. Knuckles lost his dad. Shadow lost his sister. Those fluffy cute and colouful aliens have loneliness as one of their main traits. All of them.

This back story is sick but pretty dark

They managed to put it into a kids game and a kids show, so I think it won't be that bad

I really wanted this to happen in the next movie, I mean like you can’t have Shadow without a dark backstory, I mean it can scare children, but I might think the movie will be like 8+ or something

Ayo, that's my video at 0:17. May I have some credit please?

I’m so happy u made a video about this! Shadow has always been my favourite character of the franchise and I was always really upset that people called him an edge lord. So now people finally understand his background and why he is the way he is. 😊

Can’t believe some people still think that these are real, legit podcasts

Shadow became dark because of military killing Maria

It’s never really touched on here or the lore much, but Maria had the mobius version of AIDS, which is called NIDS. Gerald sought to cure Maria of this immune virus that was killing her. Shadow was as far as he got. GUN then attacked and the rest is history. One of the classic things of the story is that Gerald is straight up assassinated on camera. It’s a still, flickering GIF, but you can tell he’s in a firing line up. Third movie has a lot of expectation riding on it, including his imprisonment on prison island.

This is why SA2 has the best story in the Sonic series.

shadow was dark and a rival to sonic but his past got even darker maybe is this why shadow was into injuring people?

Shadow's backstory is really intense, and I recommend looking up "project Shadow," a fanfilm that tries to copy the style of the films, and Shows Shadow's Origin story, and it was REALLY impressive!

This Made me cry😭

Everything is fun and games until you remember shadows death. 😢😮

I watch the first sonic movie and the TV show and stuff. It would’ve been so cool if Maria didn’t die.

Why does this man know the lore of everything

I don’t want them to bring Shadow back after he dies. It’d make his death more meaningful. And if they do, they gotta make him better than he is now in the games.

I hate how people judge shadow, he's been though so much stuff, and the only reason he would be mean, is 1, he didn't accept it, or 2, he misses her so much she will kill for her.

This story was in sa2 and that never scared me as a kid.

My, oh, my. This is going to age like milk, isn’t it.

THE FACT THAT Sega Corporation DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO HIDE THE FACT THAT SA2 Sonic Advance AND Sonic X SHOWN LOADS OF DETAILS FROM Shadow's BACKSTORY. IS HUMANITY THIS MEAN IN Sonic X?!

Egg man is just gunna trick everyone

the new movie will have death and violence shadow is not just edgy the hedgy but much darker than that

2024: In the new series "Knuckles" there is a bit of teamwork between Wayde and Knuckles and they called themselves "The Warriors"

He’s not crying he just missed her his friend

0:47 is where it starts from the short.

This movie better hit me the feels like this video did.

Shadow the ultimate life form Ultimate friend Ultimate power And the ultimate bad ass this dude is going to be the huge light of the movie for me

This makes me care a lot about the movie and make everyone understand the context and backstory of shadow so that he can take revenge but also keep her promise. I'm excited to see how this film turns out.

0:17 This is a fan animation. Not officially footage.

At least they didn’t call shadow a entity

The promise was: "shadow, pls promise me that you'll help people. And be friends with them."

I forgot what name it was but the villian was a Human

By the way, they pissed him off after the second movie

*sniffles* I’m not crying you’re crying 😭

A little girl really got killed cuz of all this and a bunch of people got executed and a man got captured and tortured until he was finally killed I wonder how they are gonna adapt this to the movie without starting a war with parents

Dang 1 min and barely mot a half making my eyes look like waterfall

If u think about it, shadow had been on earth longer than sonic ever did

Omg shadow is my favourite character but shadow has one of the most saddest stories ever poor shadow

So yeah I think shadow kept it and egg head just controlled him to be evil and shadow still kept there promis so I think he tried to fight the evil

I pray Sega finally remembers what Shadow used to be, and not what he became.

Bro said sonic 3 is not kid friendly. Bro needs to use his brain cells

Shadow will but he want revenge and Sonic is in his way

I thought shadow was always a villain but he was actually kind he promises that he will be help people I think that’s why Cheryl wants Maria back😢

Maria pushed shadow into the only available pod.

I would watch the movie and it would probably be great plus probably Amy is gonna be there cuz I seen some trailers and I think Amy is gonna be in there and shadows past is sad and I don’t think it’s that dark

MARIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! - literally shadow when he gets a flashback in sonic adventure 2

Sonic X was a different show. Really enjoyable

“Gonna go in a darker direction.” More like an edgier connection,

The third sonic movie is gonna be an interesting one

Remember the episode of Sonic Xa

Sonic Advance 2, Shadow the Hedgehog, and Sonic X show much of Shadow’s backstory. Especially, Shadow the Hedgehog where it is revealed that Shadow is part alien via BlacK Doom.

I think shadow and sonic will team up like in the sonic adventure 2 game

You really had to make me come from the short to watch an extra like 12 seconds of video…? Damn… well played…

I hope shadow already keeps his promise for maria, it's sad for shadow and Sonic's backstory in the movie

This is almost like Mewtwo's original story.

Military is the real villain

Wait is coming out now!

The promise was to give people a chance and be friend with them he's not pure evil they all have a sad backstory but some Just are evil to think its fun they do get dark but if you get its not dark but sad they broken not evil

Mat pat: *writes down notes for video*

god I love his voice and the way he tells a story

I think egg man will tell shadow that the earth people are evil and he need his help like by the movie Sonic 2 with knuckles

Welp i think was that her last words?

I watched a 42 second longer video just to find out that Maria said to give people a chance

That is so sad it made me see shadow in a new light

Shadow is my favourite sonic charater. Wait when was this movie out? The past was so breaking. I thought shadow was bad, turns out that maria taught him how to be nice. I wonder if he kept the promies to maria

If you think Rocket's story was bad imagine watching Shadow's in the theatre.

The shadow game was very violent but give u a lot of back story 😂

bro they said the release date is between 2024-2025

Please have Shadow's backstory be in Sonic Movie 3 in its entirety. All of this would make great story telling. And have the Wachowskis like debunked all of the lies that G.U.N. has made regarding it.

So that’s why he’s in a pod in the movie!

The game is sonic adventure 2

Fun fact it will not go too much into the past it will still be rated pg then it will most likely after that skip to the scene where shadow gets out of the container from space and the newer fatter better egg man will come

Thats not dark at all

When the movie comes out I am going to bring tissue with me 😢

I feel like I’m the third movie there will be also silver and Blaze at the credits but also shadow tries to bring back Maria by finding some type of chemical or type of magic that makes him bring back Maria

Dang dis made me cry

We don’t even know what the curse can do

Yes it is

Full video dang cool 😎

How are they gonna incorporate an innocent girl getting gunned down into a silly children's film?

I got in sonic prime he tried to help sonic so they are friends wow that’s cool

Broski thought an innocent creature was an villain

The sad Sorry off sonic 3

Rocket racoons backstory is still worse. number one saddest backstory that i know.

Like I wonder what it would feel like losing my closest friend

Man maybe on Sonic 3 sonic and shadow will be freinds like he did on knuckles

shadow needs guns in the new movie

dam thats dark i dont think i can hold back tears

This is sad like Henry Stickmin bc maria died in the facility

shadows backsyory makes him.ome of the most full characters in sonic universe

Pov: shadow was created and was given a gun then the military went in Shadow: WE WONT LET THEESE FUCKERS TAKE OUR LAND

I didnt know that dr. egghead created dark sonic as sonic call him🤣
