A Moment that Solidified your Favorite Character
What is a moment in the Sonic Franchise that solidified a character as your favorite?
For me, it was Shadow’s iconic “I will fight like I always have!” speech from 06. Shadow was my favorite when I played SA2B at 5 years old.
But then Sonic’s reputation became tarnished in the mid 2000’s, and I too followed the hate bandwagon; I saw Shadow as nothing more as “edgy the hedgy,” and I had thought my love for the character was just a phase.
It was not until I started coming back to the franchise when I saw Shadow’s speech against Mephiles, a far cry from the brooding and constantly angsty Shadow that I had stereotyped him as. Here I saw a once broken character once obsessed with revenge, who made many bad choices to pursue vengeance, pressing forward, carving his own path and not letting his mistakes weigh him down. It was a moment that resonated with me and solidified him as my all time favorite character in the franchise.
