Committing Casual Terrorism - Shadow The Hedgehog Let's Play Part 8

I like to imagine that Blue Falcon goes "he's... too strong" as a reference to what Hot Shot in SA2 says when Shadow defeats it, and BF realizes that he's repeating the line midway through saying it. I can *feel* the dread of realization that Shadow is about to absolutely destroy it.
Blue Falcon pilot is my favorite character in this game, I hope he gets the S tier in the upcoming "ranking all humans in Sonic" video.

with the whole time travel thing i feel like the last story should've been it's own set of levels instead of just a single level consisting of stuff that shadow would do after knowing everything he learned from the other timelines which ended with black comet and doom fight

The pure hero final mission heel swerve is the best ending in the entire game imo. Shadow finally has had it up to here with Sonic’s bullshit and decides, fuck this whole black alien terrorist attack thing, I want to kick your ass specifically!

“[The Dark Knight Rises] could have been something different” …for you.

While the way information is so jumbled around and how no matter what path you go, some aspects are introduced and never finished, the idea of the 10 endings is to explore the idea of what if scenarios. Seeing what could have been as Shadow tries to get information to come to a conclusion as to who he is and what his future will be. Influenced by the people he interacts with, the information he learns, the information he is fed, and the actions he takes. Yes, at the end of it, all ten endings and even possibly, Shadow never really goes through any of the zones. All that happens at the beginning of Last Story is that Shadow, after going through an unseen journey, is at the point where he has all the Chaos Emeralds and we finally see the conclusion of his journey to ultimately learn of his past, be horrified and repulsed by what he learns, and decide to move on and live for himself.

I fully disagree about the OST. Always come back to listen to many tracks as I find them catchy and awesome.
The structure is a mess and it certainly doesn't help some of the translations making things worse. But I think once though is put in, it is interesting the idea of Shadow going through to find out his past and ultimately come to a conclusion of moving on with life. The what if endings are fun to think about and in some cases laugh at.
The video by Pariah really gave me a great new look and perspective about the story ideas and themes this game was doing that gave me a better appreciation for it and Shadow's arc.

Aren’t the Chao babies?

I hate Sonic

Shadow stole popcorn from a chao in the Team Sonic Racing animation and chao are kind of like weird babies.

My first Shadow games were Shadow and Heroes, and that made me really interested in Shadow's character, and all the stories made me interested in the possibilities of who he was. When i first heard the actual SA2 story, i was kind of a little disappointed in how it turned out. I also thought the android idea was cool and I'd be cool if Shadow transpired to be an android.

Shadow was Penny Snapcube's first Sonic game, she did not say anything about being confused while talking about it, however she mentioned finding Sonic annoying as hell, which is really funny with her loving the character so much now that she can do impressions of every VA he had, especially Jason Griffith.
