You know how everyone thinks people of a race that isn't their own look the same, its the same with other species.

>Super Mario Sunshine

You can't even tell it's supposed to look like Mario until you get close.

Glad they didn't go with this, at least.

If they kept his original designs, at least they wouldn't bring him back due to popularity, let him have his damn death.

>>387832626
i think the community would have attached itself to at least 3 out of 5 those designs.

>>387832168

But Shadow is black and red. How the fuck does anyone confuse that for blue?

You aren't a human from the Sonic universe.

>>387832867
gerald and eggman are humans in sonic's universe, and eggman caught on pretty quickly.

Come on dog. Those shits look like they have sex with Tails Doll in your goddamn closet. If anything, maybe it would've taught hundreds of kids to not be edgy retards when they're hitting puberty.

>>387833025

You're underestimating how much people love "dark" versions of protagonists, no matter the design.

>they disregard the culture of pseudo-edge during the time period and that continues to this day.

>>387833150

It's kids, specifically. Younger minds latch onto characters that allow them to ignore or subvert moral decision making and value judgments. It's the same reason why "Heroes team up with villains to stop a bigger evil" is so popular.

meh it was fine in AA, since apparently the only thing that people notice in AA is his spikey hair

Phoenix tried so hard to convince people he didnt have orange skin, but to no avail, was actually amusing.

>>387832140
I didn't even notice the muscles on the top 2 designs until now.

Can we all admit that unironically that as a design, Shadow is actually pretty fucking great all things considered?

>>387834183
Definitely entertaining.
