I don't think you understand a large part of what makes Shadow appealing if you don't get that Sonic Team deliberately doesn't tell you why.
This place loves to shit on Ian, which is all fine and dandy until they start making the exact same mistakes he makes. Case in point, the people who believe everything needs to be spelled out for them, stamping out theorycrafting and stifling discussion. Why Shadow looks like a hedgehog/looks like Sonic is one of those things they deliberately don't explain so you can wonder about it yourself. My personal theory is that creating artificial perfection will inevitably create "a Sonic" because Sonic is natural perfection. Others have different theories.
>inb4 keeping parts of the "mysterious" character a mystery is dumb
Reminds me of when Ian decided to just go "No actually The End just jobbed lol" so nobody talks about it anymore.
I feel really exhausted with Sonic and Sonic fans lately.
