I think they should somehow retell Silver's arc and fix the Blaze plot hole. Either by writing her out entirely (which creates the issue of nobody there to help Silver focus on his goal) or by going with Maekawa's intent for her (She seals herself into the Sol Dimension at the end, and Rush comes after).
But...what's the motivation to do so? Appeasing Nakamura's autism? Silver's story is so heavily associated with '06, it's risky. Would it sell if they made it into a game? It might not seem like it right now, but this franchise's success isn't guaranteed. Sonic Team was reportedly on their last legs after Forces until the movie revived interest in Sonic and boosted sales. Selling well is important. It's a gamble to take risks, yet risks are sometimes necessary.
Someone made a point that in order to get focus/relevancy, Silver needs to be popular, but in order to make Silver popular, he needs focus/relevancy. So it never ends up happening. I've been thinking about that.

It's painful looking at how badly Silver's character has been massacred. I used to think that he shouldn't have been created at all, since he's so clearly a failed attempt to recapture the "lightning in a bottle" that is Shadow. But he's here to stay, and so something should be done about the absolute state of him. No other character has been destroyed as badly as Silver. Even if I'm not the biggest fan of him, he doesn't deserve this uwu cuckold humiliation ritual. I believe all characters should be written with respect even if they're not beloved.

You reminded me that, years ago, I edited Shadow's main Sonic wiki page. I simply placed Maekawa's name above Iizuka's instead of below in the part that lists his creators. Pretty sure it's still there. I'm petty.
Either way, Shadow was a group effort. While I consider Maekawa to be Shadow's main creator, it's not inaccurate for Iizuka to be credited with helping to create him as well.
