Hot Take:

The earlier elements of the Sonic franchise are just as "focus group cool" as Shadow, but we were all younger when they came out, and are blinded by nostalgia.

My hot response: The biggest issue is just that there are too many extra characters that don't add much. The first "Sonic but evil" was plenty. Shadow is before it went too far imo.

Shadow was a great character in his debut role. He just shouldn't have become a recurring character. But maybe someone 10 years older than me would say the same thing about Knuckles.

I agree that they were just as focus group cool, but I think the focus groups at the time were cooler, or at least cool in a way that holds up better than that early 2000s cool does.
I say that as someone who was probably the exact right age for Shadow to be cool. I barely had exposure to Sonic stuff pre-Adventure 2 Battle.

Early 2000s cool stopped being cool for a while but it's been long enough now that it's actually cool again, just in a more self aware way

Shadow fucking rules. Knuckles, you know, he's fine. But he's no Shadow.

I dont think Ill ever understand the appeal of Shadow. But I agree with those saying growing up with them makes a difference. If Shadow was in the good Genesis games I probably wouldnt mind him as much.

Shadow was super lame when introduced, but I've come to appreciate him retroactively

There's something truly beautiful about a character taking unironic over the top edginess to 11 while still being safe for kids

Knuckles is the more believable character for sure

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

Knuckles is my favorite Sonic character, so I couldnt not vote for him, but I do like Shadow quite a bit!

Knuckles is just a punk, shadow is sonic's equal.
