Episode Re-Review: The Cutie Re-Mark Parts 1 and 2 · 3:41pm 11 hours ago
And so it was that, after a season of several unexpected shake-ups as the show seemed to be maturing (or at least trying to), we would come to a finale where spoilers had already given away what was going to happen. A sign of how things would not be as tightlipped for future seasons as they had been in the days of The Hub. So instead of another "Twilight's Kingdom" that everyone was looking forward to, it seemed like the finale would be another "A Canterlot Wedding" or "Magical Mystery Cure"

Yes, quite right. One of the biggest criticisms of Sonic 06 was that Sonic's story made no impact on the overall plot and that he entered a ridiculous relationship with Elise before dying at the hands of a villain whom he had never met. Instead, it was Shadow and Silver whose actions contributed the most to the plot. SEGA unfortunately took this criticism the wrong way, deciding that their future games should focus specifically on portraying Sonic as accurate to his roots as possible and that it doesn't matter if the other characters become caricatures of their former selves.
Thus, the last game that featured a faithful depiction of Shadow was Sonic 06.
3037908 I think the bigger problem is how SEGA has treated Sonic stories as a whole over the past decade, preventing any of them from being utilized for anything outside of very narrow and one-dimensional roles as a knee jerk reaction to criticism over things like Sonic 06.
Do you agree that SEGA has completed ruined Shadow the Hedgehog's character during the last decade?
3036324 That's also something I could do eventually.
Another thing I've been curious about is this:
How interested would you be in making a one shot where Discord and Starlight Glimmer meet for the first time?
I mean, I know that the first time they appeared together was in "To Where and Back Again", but in a way...it seemed like they somehow already knew each other before the events of the episode.
