Shadow the Hedgehog

Do I have to list four? Can I come back with more, later?

EDIT: Wait

Shadow the Hedgehog
Kylo Ren
Sasuke

I'll figure out a fourth if I have to.

Shadow the Hedgehog
Kylo Ren
Sasuke
The Punisher

This feels like a good four. Lock it in.

First of all, Batman broods but he's not really "edgy" with the exception of Frank Miller and Zack Snyder's takes.

Secondly it's more about how Joker is perceived in this case than the overall character, which is highly variable in edgyness. TDK and Joker are popular enough to warp perception. Plus random other shit like Leto and that time he cut off his own face in the comics. He's got plenty of edge.

Batman has plenty of plenty of other ones where he comes across as tough and edgy (Bales super gruff Batman voice that is often parodied, Lego Batman, probably multiple writers especially when it was Azrael) but the main reason I would put him in is because he is basically a power fantasy for a lot of edgy people. Pretty much every parody Ive seen makes their character around him super edgy too (The Boys, Invincible come to mind).

Meanwhile Jokers traits I just dont feel like really mesh, dont think he fits the same spectrum as Shadow. His character is too built around humor, and I dont think many ten year olds are like aw yeah Joker/Jared Leto is cool!. Unless your argument is anarchy is edgy (which makes some sense if you include Durden) but I dont think thats a defining trait of the archetype.

Eh, I would disagree with this. I think "anarchy is edgy" is an incredibly common viewpoint among young people, and that's been true for awhile. Just look at Rage Against the Machine.

I feel like with Rage its less the anarchy and more the hard rap rock style

like Chumbawumba are anarchist and nobody is going to call them edgy

Nihilism is more edgy than anarchy

Tom Morello literally often describes their style as "anarchy," though.

I do get your point, but I feel like it's deeper than most people think. To the common teenager, for a long while, "anarchy" was "cool" and edgy.

I really really wish I could justify defending Shadow's honour here and Not pick him, but unfortunately, flanderization hit him bad. That and fandom. Oh always fandom.

Admittedly Shadows characterization in most media, especially recently, had trended towards merely grumpy

however.

Shadow isn't the edgiest character ever or anything, but he's just too iconic not to include.

Shadow is (was) extremely edgy compared to almost every Sonic character up til that point though, most of whom are just like. This is Fluff the Dog, he is a puppy and he's 3 apples tall and he likes helping others :)

I don't think Shadow was ever flanderized into an edgelord. He was literally created to be "Sonic, but dark and edgy." They leaned into it really hard for a while, but it was always there.

If anything, his characterization has developed past that, but first impressions tend to stick!

The recent Sonic 3 movie teaser probably primed my brain, but it's still telling that when I read this topic title, Shadow immediately came to mind. Didn't even have to think about it.
