Wait hold up if G.U.N was created as an after effect of Sonics and Dr. Robotniks fight in San Francisco, what does that mean for Shadow?
Wasnât G.U.N the organisation that hunted him down and was the cause of Mariaâs death? Unless Iâm remembering it wrong, which I might be tbh. Does that mean there was another unit monitoring Gerald and deemed him too deadly or was it still G.U.N that just reformed on a larger scale after the SF fight.
I can see higher ups being aware of Project Shadow but how much do they really know?
Aaahhh the SCU actually looking at consequences of the previous films is refreshing and interesting to consider, itâs actually a really intriguing part and hopefully itâll be done well!
Youâre correct in G.U.N.âs origins in the game! Donât worry, I promise. I know that the Adventure games and Shadowâs game are a bit hard to come by, but youâve got the general idea correct. (This is the post in reference if anyone is curious).
We must remember that these movies are going to be a bit different from the games. The movies use the backbones and âmeatâ of the games in order to tell their versions of the story. Some of it will require knowledge of the games while others may try and spin a concept in a different light.
We know what Guardian Units of Nations is because weâre diehard fans. Beginner and casual fans might not know. And thatâs okay! We know that theyâre a nationâs defense force; a military organization established to respond to major criminal cases and domestic conflicts (SA2âs Hero/Dark game guide). Thatâs kinda like saying theyâre the equivalent of modern day military, right? The movieâs explanation for G.U.N. might be that theyâre a military branch that responds to conflict both domestic and international. It would make sense. General Walters works at the Pentagon, wears various combat badges, share his unit ranking, and all that jazz. So, yeah! Itâs quite possible for G.U.N. to be a newly established task force, but have recruiters transfer to a new branch. They probably are relatively new.
As for knowing who Shadow is, itâs quite possible that he could be an X-File of sorts in this scenario. In all honesty, it really wouldnât surprise me if he was classified as something like that. We know that Shadowâs both a weapon and a cure. Itâs very possible for higher-ups to know his existence, have it filed/redacted somewhere in archives, and having high-ranking officials know about him. As of right now, we donât know what Shadowâs fate will be. Itâs really up to him to determine that.
Honestly, anything is fair game at this point! Iâm excited to see whatâs brought to the table for this one.đ
