Not to be a dick just.. cant shadow like characters for other reasons? Not everything has to be about maria, and id like to think his connections are deeper than that.

Edit: also! Comments of "shadow likes cats because maria did" or "shadow likes this because of maria" like..

Local legends call it Yanatari. Historians call it Black Judgement. Shadow just wishes he would stop seeing it in his nightmares.

It's like now everyone is improving and getting character development, addressing problems and complexes they've had for years (Shadow with SXSG, for example), or giving villains and real personalities to forgotten characters like Team Chaotix,

and I hope they keep doing that. But that also means that sooner or later Sega is going to be forced to make Sonic acknowledge the last 36 years of absolute SHIT and trauma he's accumulated over the decades.

Maybe we'll even see Sonic's friends saving him for once.

Episode 7 of The Chaotix Case Files already gave us a glimpse of this when Sonic heard Infinite's name and sounded obviously scared by his return.

we'll have the chance to see a version of Sonic and Shadow where Shadow is the mentally stable one with healthy mental systems,

Bc like, there’s no way he doesn’t look slightly off to mobians, right? Like, they look at him and have a split second fight or flight instinct, or maybe there’s something off with how Shadow moves that doesn’t read as something a mobian would do — everyone chalks it up to “mobian raised by humans” and Amy and Sonic make it their personal missions to help Shadow be more “hedgie” only to realize that no yea, he’s just freaky.
