Sonic fans fear that Shadow’s story will be debunked, either rewritten or omitted entirely in the next film the most traumatic moment of his life. This is coming, as the film’s writers say the sequel will be “fun and wild” for fans of the other films, leading some to believe that this version of Shadow won’t be very faithful to the games.
While the authors’ comments don’t confirm or deny any specific details, many have difficulty understanding how the game’s plot — which entails the murder of a terminally ill ten-year-old boy – can be “fun and wild”. However, fans are hoping that Shadow’s story is as dark as the source material, complete with state-ordered executions.
A funny moment
As reported by ScreenRant, Sonic 3 writers Pat Casey and Josh Miller promise the film will be “a fun and wild time for movie fans.” In response, fans joke about what that “fun” will entail.
The dramatic event
For the uninitiated, there’s actually a reason Shadow is brooding. It was created by Gerald Robotnik (Eggman’s uncle) in hopes of curing Neuro-Immune Deficiency Syndrome (NIDS), a condition that leaves victims incredibly frail and always incurable. Maria, Gerald’s ten-year-old granddaughter, has NIDSwhich makes the search for a cure all the more important.
Project Shadow was created with the hope of creating immortality for the sick and a weapon for the military. Although successful, the military later deemed the search too dangerous and They had all researchers killed. Maria, who was close friends with Shadow, was killed when the two tried to escape. Gerald was later executed after programming Shadow to avenge his niece’s death.
No long faces
said that It is rather unlikely that all the details in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will be filled. This would be a huge sonic change in the series, and given that the first two films were hugely successful, it’s likely the studio wants to keep everything in the same vein. It wouldn’t be very “fun and wild” either, unfortunately.
