Because it made them "Dark" and "Mysterious."
They weren't clearly cut, they weren't entirely good or evil, so they were more interesting than the fireball or mellow protagonists.

I guess, but looking back at when Shadow was super emo (MARIAAAAH!!!!) I like him better the way he is now. I loved Shadow the Hedgehog (the game) as a kid, but I don't think I could sit through it again. Especially those stupid dark path storylines. I know they aren't cannon, but still. That whole amnesia storyline was stupid...

It's a good thing the game was retconned in Generations.

That's the only game that Generations doesn't reference and everything else in the canon is referenced, even 06.

Unless you count music, but I feel like they can't, considering it explains what happened to Shadow after SA2 (what sucks is that the proper, cannon explanation happens 8 minutes into the final boss fight.)

Just got caught up with Oreimo season 2 and Hunter X Hunter.

Electric Turahk · 05-26-2013, 10:49 PM

Oh good, I'm not the only one who watches Oreimo. :3

What was up with the ending to the latest episode??

FormerTitanium · 05-26-2013, 11:26 PM
