The biggest take away I've gotten from all post 2020 Sonic stuff is Shadow would be 100x more entertaining if the writers didn't turn him into only a walking circa 2005 myspace emo stereotype. He has the potential to be a good rival, still semi-reluctantly get pulled into whatever Sonic does, & be what he's always been- a very smart but tired goth who just wants to live in peace.
Sonic Boom did so much to destroy him as a character but the post 2019 comics & Sonic Prime? I pray that's the blueprint moving forward after all the strikes are over. I hope Sega sees why people like the present Shadow & don't back pedal.
