Had a few things come up so I'm not sure if you're still around but maybe you'll see it later.
>I think I see what's happening here. You and I are using different metrics for what is and isn't canon. We'll never agree this way, then.
This is true I suppose. I can not see material as canon unless it's in the main continuity games because it represents how Sega and Sonic Team want the characters to be seen by everyone. This is the default interpretation meant for fans, general audiences and children to consume. If you have to go out of your way to find information about characters not provided by the games, I can not in good faith call it canon material. Especially if it is something the staffs says, but did not implement into the final product. It may be their vision, it may be their intent, but I have to question why that intent did not make it into the final product and in some cases, the final product contradicts what they say. We've seen this plenty of times with half hazard Band-Aid explanations from Iizuka to remedy continuity errors. It just doesn't matter if the games don't reflect what he says.
>Do you really trust something written by a fanfiction.net writer who climbed his way up the ranks through Archie over a statement directly from Iizuka, Toyoda, Hoshino, Sonic Channel, etc.?
I do not trust it until it makes it into the final product because it means it was ran through all of those people and still approved for widespread consumption. If it is inconsistent, that is an entirely different conversation to debate.
>Shadow has been complimented on his appearance before by Rouge and '06 NPCs.
The difference is obviously because Maria means more to him. He does not really care for people's opinions of him...until it's someone that actually matters. For you, you may take it as romantic, but I still say it's normal to have such a reaction in front of people you care the opinions of including family.
