I'll be honest

The reason I ship sonadow so much is because their relationship has alot of potential and sega does.....nothing with it....and decides to make them rivals as of recent which....goes against their development by the end of adventure 2.......

Adventure 2 did such a good job setting up and developing their relationship. They start off as rivals and gradually start having a mutual respect for one another by the end of the game. And then by heroes they do....nothing with it, minus little bits of interactions.

And it's disappointing! Sonic and shadow have one of my favorite relationship dynamics. I love seeing characters with upbeat/carefree attitudes interacting with characters that are more serious/reserved. You could do alot with this dynamic and sega chose to do...nothing ;;

Of course I'm not saying that sonic and shadow should've hooked up by the end of shadow '05 (or am i?~) but they could've done something compelling with these two because they're such amazing characters! and when they do interact and it also WORKS??? It's the good, fucking, food.

Obviously you're not obligated to also ship these two if that's not your cup of tea (just don't argue with me that shadow's "50 yrs old), I just wanted to give insight as to why I think these two work so well. It even took ME years to realize this myself.
