ngl the acting was bad especially Maria she look uninterested in her character also Maria is blonde with blue eyes and have short hair that wig looks peach blonde other than that it looks good also robotnik looks waaaaaaaaaay to young hes old with wrinkles my man has smooth skin......lets seee.......other than that it looks good for what its worth but needs a few improvements
Your short is very good but it has an error, Shadow Cadi's gaze never changes, it is always penetrating and full of seriousness, he doesn't move his eyes like Sonic, he is very serious and focused
One thing this fan film even imoroves from the original story is you can see shadow was visibly happy. He smiles much more, his body language is fluid. He acts like a child at times. And his voice is softer. Makes everything so much sadder
@@krististarosta6736 exactly he was all happy on the ark with the people that he truly loved but it all changed when GUN Invaded the ark and killed them😢
@hattanalshutaifi4587True, but thanks to Sonic and his friends including Amy, Shadow realize that not all human are bad and remember Maria’s true promise
"shadows story began a lot like yours sonic but where you found family and friends shadow found only pain and loss." New trailer quote vibes well with this.
Yes shadow he used to be happy kind and act like a kid just like sonic but then his best friend got killed in front of him and her death make shadow lost his happiness just like in the trailer the guy said that sonic find his new family and friends but shadow only find pain and loss because he lost his best friend
It was an honor to have played Maria Robotnik in English and been a part of this production that is so full of love. Congrats to everyone involved (seriously y'all are so skilled at what you do aaaa I cannot say this enough) and thank you for letting me be a part of it!!

Sonic Movie 3 may never be able to go this in depth with Shadow’s origin story. We can only hope that Sonic Movie 3 does Shadow justice. You guys did an amazing job!
I really like that the soldier that killed Maria seemed hesitant and nervous as he pointed the gun at her. In the Sonic X show, the solider was further expanded upon that he regretted killing her and was following orders. I'm glad he still shows this trait in this amazing fan film!
@@liamphibiaMaybe so, I have a theory that Tom's grandfather had something to do with Shadow's story. In the first movie Maddie mentions that there was always a Wachowsky looking after the town of Green Hills for more than 50 years. Perhaps Tom's grandfather participated in the events of the ARK and then retreated to a secluded place to keep himself and even his family safe, like the soldier from Sonic X did. and they also mention in the post-credits scene that the information on PROJECT SHADOW goes back more than 50 years. Twice they mention that period of time. Of course, it's just a theory that I came up with based on what we've seen so far in the Sonic movies.
@@Silverfox30008honestly I would love for that to be the backstory as it adds this element of why Shadow sees harming Sonic as a way to get revenge on Tom
Dude, I knew you were Gerald as soon as I heard him talk! I checked the description and sure enough! Also happy to see you having fun and doing great things Charriii 👍

Has a lifelong Sonic fan sometimes you can't help but go into these fan edits with a little bit of skepticism. Sometimes that Hollywood gloss is missing. Makes it difficult to watch and you can see the production fall apart at the seams. This fan edit is one of the best arguments against that. This edit proves that we don't need Hollywood to harness the talent we were born with. You lived and learned.
22:13 I just can't. The way this moment is crafted is nothing short of absolute perfection. You can FEEL the shattering of his soul through every element of the screen. We as the audience are fully immersed in that horrific moment of infinite dispar with Shadow and FORCED to understand the gravity of his eternal life forever changed. THIS is the kind of emotional, human connection missing from so many Hollywood movies today. Outstanding work.
@@NinjaGirl490 I don't know, but I really hope they explain how Shadow ended up in the escape pod as well as this film did. I've always wondered how he ended up in the pod first (because clearly Shadow cared about Maria more than himself and would have prioritized her first) and why he couldn't just break the glass (Dude is literally the ultimate lifeform. I've never understood how the capsule restrained him when he was trying to break out and help her) The way those things were explained here...Perfection!
It's pretty weird at first but the more you think about it, the more it makes sense in context of his early life. Which makes it all the more sadder that the death of of his dear friend Maria would absolutely *change* Shadow.
This is why he's the most compelling because shadow goes through the most tragic things goes through the most hardships sure he tried to destroy humanity and he almost succeeded but he realises it's not what Maria would truly want and he changes for the better
@@alceratops6853 ? I mean... "Everyone needs money... The question is, how much." Lex Luthor. But Shadow is not exactly a money printer. War is a real money sink. So... 🤔Why say G.U.N. wanted money?
Based on the fact that the music that played during the title showcase of Sonic 3 was apparently a rescored Live and Learn, and the fact that part of the title's design holds a direct homage to the title design of Sonic Adventure 2, I'd say they're all definitely gonna be included.
You know, plot-wise, what really breaks me in this one is that while in canon it wasn't shown if Maria would ever be cured, in this one the ring inhibitors were a step closer to that hope. Gerald, Shadow, and Maria felt like they were making a large progress, that Earth was just in reach..... And then it was taken away. The worst kind of despair is one that comes straight after a large hope.
and I even theorised that the final cure would've been Super Shadow since it showed in both Sonic X and the second movie that the Super State could instantly heal the user and others. if you recall in the Sonic 2 movie, Sonic was badly injured in his fight with the Death Egg Robot to the point that he was LIMPING, and covered in dirt, but after the Chaos Emeralds reacted to his family love for Tom and Maddie, he became Super Sonic and he made a full recovery instantly, completely healed and clean even after he reverts to normal. and in Sonic X, Super Sonic is shown to be able to heal others with his powers, it's not known how far this healing can go, but it's likely it would work on such a cellular level that Super Shadow could have gotten rid of Maria's NIDS entirely, leaving her permanently healthy and on the first space pod/shuttle to Earth.
It's not a good idea to pit black dooms DNA in sick people. He has mind control over his offspring. Thise aliens ha e alot of powers. If shadow never put the rings on he would've gained more.
This may possibly be the best Sonic fanfilm I've ever laid my eyes on! The final scene with Maria's sacrifice was so impactful and well executed, I felt so bad for Shadow! This seriously raises both my expectations and excitement for Sonic 3 by a lot and I really hope that the people working on the movie get the chance to see this to take inspiration from the love and care put into it!
Disculpa mi Ignorancia Pero el corto trata de la historia de Shadow, verdad? Osea los que trabajaron en el filme no le agregaron nada que no fuera parte de la historia canónica?? 👀

Dude!!! This was amazing! I’ve been following this project for quite a while now. I’m so proud of what you and your team made! I can’t wait to see what else you create in the future 🖤🖤🖤
I loved this movie I absolutely loved shadow hes so freaking cute and the relationship between him and Maria is ahhhhh they act like brother and sister 😍🖤🦔
@@Starrmonster02I ALSO love this short movie "Project Shadow" as well, old friend. AND the end of that movie REALLY wanted me to give poor Shadow the Hedgehog a great big Shadow Hug to make HIM feel better about ALL of his losses, especially the loss of his first friend Maria Robotnik. After all, Shadow the Hedgehog is SO absolutely cute and cuddly, you know... WAY softer and cuddlier than that blue boy Sonic EVER was, SINCE Shadow IS my number one favorite character in the entire Sonic canon, with Knuckles the Echidna as my number two and Vector the Crocodile (Vector the Detector) as my number three. And besides THAT... we can ALL boon from a great big Shadow Hug from Shadow the hedgehog to make us feel better as well as a great big Minion Hug as well as a great big Doughboy Hug as well. They're ALL exra soft and fluffy, you know. And one more thing, stay strong, Shadow the Hedgehog. We ALL love you.
Man F*** all the people who mock Shadow for being an "edgelord", as someone who suffers from depression, regurgitated thoughts, and domestic abuse from my childhood, I find Shadow to be the most relatable Sonic character. How can you not feel for this poor soul who had to watch his only friend be murdered due to the government's fear of his very existence? He's even the only male Sonic character that we've seen to shed tears in the games iirc, ooooh how dark and edgy. Despite all of the BS he's been put through, he's learned to forgive and put the past behind him. Shadow the Hedgehog is such an AMAZING character and I look forward to seeing his story on the big screen next year!
Yes, Shadow used to be a great character in Adventure but they nerfed him on the recent media, specially in the idw comics, excepting on Prime. Now he's just a ''Im better than anyone because big ego, look how emotionless and heartless I am, oh I'm so edgy''. Real Shadow is traumatized and lived isolated and captive (he's basically a domestic hedgehog while Sonic is a wild one), he didn't believe by himself to be the ultimate life form, it was imposed on him by everyone, had a lot of pressure to win and saw everything he loved die in front of his eyes while being helpless. He was serious and independent, it's true, but not a clon of Vegeta on crack. He loved someone genuinely to the point of killing to protect them, he cried several times. He was cool
@@downbadforacomputervirus Me too. I was called an edge lord by Nintendo fanboys just for hoping that Shadow would be playable in Smash Bros Ultimate back in 2018, it really annoys me that people can’t see past the stupid memes and appreciate this character for how well written he was in Adventure 2.
Man f*** , I can imagine the nasty toot he rip when he see Maria get splattered, so amazing. I mostly relate to vector because he’s a money hungry Neanderthal and that coincides with my traumatic childhood as well
What makes it better is that you don't even see Maria get shot. You just see a gun go off and immediately cut to Shadow's reaction. You can hear him breathing heavily and everything is black and white. All the color and humanity has been taken away from him in this moment. As you said, the way he screams Maria is actually scary how genuine it sounded.
@@complex2live and also the fact that his eyes stays *red* while everything goes black and white… it’s like red symbolises the blood that has being shed
This was a perfect adaptation of Shadow’s story and my god Maria’s Sacrifice was just heartbreaking! 10/10 Edit: WHO ELSE IS HERE AFTER THE TRAILER DROPPED?
This is easily one of THE best fanfilms I've ever seen. Of any fandom. Just point blank period. I like a lot of homages you did to the other media in Sonic, the reference to the first Sonic movie with "I was not expecting that, but I was expecting to not expect anything so it doesn't count", Shadow's moves against the soldiers were a fun nod to his game moves in his solo game. You even see hints of his more...aggressive so to speak side when he holds the gun at the soldier's face. Loved the delivery when Shadow says "Coward." too. The voice work was great. You can easily see just how easy it it to tip Shadow over the edge. This just felt like such a love letter not just to Shadow himself, but all of Sonic media. It makes you remember that to Shadow, this loss isn't 50 years ago. It's a recurring nightmare.
I love the fact that Shadow overuses his chaos powers. Why? Because it's his first real fight. He doesn't even how to fight. He doesn't know his possibilities in combat, he doesn't know how to use his speed. He was to scared to think. So he uses the most powerful thing in his arsenal: chaos powers. Because from his perspective only chaos power could protect him and Maria. Only later he will learn to fight thought using his speed mostly, without relaying on chaos powers all the time. And what's why Shadow will blame himself for not being strong enough. Not being strong or smart enough when he needed to be.
Man, Maria's final moments were so harrowing and the horror in Shadow's eyes was heartbreaking. This was such a cool film! Mad props to everyone who worked on it! So much hype for Sonic 3
I agree, however I don't think all of Shadow's origin story should be the prologue. It would give away too many things. Well, unless... Shadow's birth can be shown via flashback before cutting to the title card. In fact, you know what? I think Sonic Movie 3 should go the way Guardians Vol. 3 went down. Where throughout the movie, Shadow flashbacks to his past at certain moments. (Oh my God do Rocket and Shadow share similar backgrounds.)
The post credit scene at the end of the video was amazing. Love the dialogue "Looks like he didn't tell you everything" BLACK DOOM'S voice was so synical!
Man, this short film is amazing. It feels like a prequel to Sonic Movie 3. This is epic! Can’t wait to see the third Sonic movie. I’d love to see Shadow make a big hit!
I totally agree! Seeing this actually gives Shadow himself a whole deeper and more emotional storyline (even though this isnt officially CANON....yet) Shadow is a TRUE hero imo!
Truly an honor to work with such a talented team, glad everyone is enjoying Project Shadow! João and everybody involved worked so hard to make this the best it could be. I also do hope that the scene at the end with Maria really stuck with you guys, gave it all my all to make that scene as impactful as could be with my performance. Sorry Maria!
I hope the people who’re working on the 3rd movie watch this and see all the love its getting! You guys put so much care into this, and it really shows!
He's insane because he found out Maria's name was on the list of the dead, he grew angry, all he could think about was to avenge her, he thought of ideas of destroying humanity for what they did, which scared him, it eventually consumed him and drove him insane, altered Shadow's memories to think about revenge, and programmed the ARK to crash into earth's orbit and shatter everything
I'm hoping that the group responsible for this gets pulled on into the actual Sonic movie series and that they give them FULL creative freedom AND use this in it.
Truly heartbreaking and extremely well done! The animators, live actors, voice actors, musicians, and everyone else involved in this did an outstanding job! The actual Sonic 3 has some big shoes to fill! Also, the Mike Pollock cameo was a nice touch!
at the same time there was an inconsistancy in the fact that G.U.N isnt supposed to have formed until after the first sonic movie. but other then that this short film is incredible!
@@masemboross4996but this is the MOVIE universe, where G.U.N was formed directly after and as a result of sonics fight in San Francisco. The commander even says it himself. Unless this is a different continuity which just so happens to have a shadow that looks similar to his movie counterpart
I love how this version shows Maria as more than a one note character and to serve as a tragic story for Shadow. She has a great big sister dynamic with Shadow and goes well with Gerald.
This is easily one of the most ambitious sonic fan projects i have EVER seen. Y'all NAILED Shadow's design, the lore explanations behind the air shoes, chaos abilities, & inhibitor rings was excellent, & everyone's characterization was damn near perfect!!! Fantastic job to everyone involved!
4:08 😃 Hey! That’s The Unused Song “Broken” that was going to be used on the STH Game but didn’t make it. I’m glad it’s in this video! 17:05 And a Reference to Shadow the Hedgehog’s Cinematic Intro.
It's freakin' first time a fanmade thing was able to give me goosebumps Are you sure you didn't cooperate with Paramount while making this? IT'S A GODDAMN MASTERPIECE! YOU DID AN EXTREMELY NICE TAKE ON SHADOW'S PERSONALITY IN THE ARK, 50/10!
I love the part after shadow shoots the target with his hand when Robotnic said "That was not expected, but I was expecting not to expect anything so that doesn't count" That line was used in the 1st sonic movie, just thought that was a funny detail😂
Who ever voiced Maria and Shadow, they were amazing and they deserve a raise! He’s truly the ultimate life form! ♥️🖤 They should be definitely be starting in the 3rd movie! 🎥
I can hear the voice of my younger self shouting with excitement. The depth of my adoration for this is beyond comprehension. Your remarkable creation deserves an immense commendation. Without any hesitation, I say that this is the most exceptional Sonic fan endeavor I have ever encountered. Witnessing this fills my heart with joy. Words cannot adequately express the magnitude of my affection for this.
For sure , it's giving me want to finish up a backstory of my oc which is a direct inspired by shadow too. And revolves around space colony a.r.k headcanon for sure😅
@@NemphiGaming Could say that this version is when shadow was young , in the official trailer is an older version cuz the guy who create Shadow is seen very old.
This was a beautiful film, this is practically canon in the sonic movieverse in my opinion. Loved how the Inhibitor Rings were portrayed, how they were meant to stabilize his powers and genetic code so they can be decrypted and understood, yet they held Shadow back and prevented him from saving Maria. The Chaos Control sequences were amazing, and Shadow's animation itself is just as great as the movies. Thank you for the spectacular work put into this film, it was way past cool! 😄
This is so well made i love it. It knows exactly why we love Shadow without making him cringe or uncool. You guys really care about the real emotions hidden within this fantasy hedgehog.
I honestly really like Shadow’s personality. It’s a nice idea of how this might have been how Shadow acted like before the fateful day… I also really liked the story, and the explanation of how and why Shadow got his inhibitor rings. Great job to everyone who worked on this project, from the actors, to the animators, to everyone! Amazing job.
THIS PROJECT WENT CRAZY HOLY SHEESH the sound design is amazing the voice acting is amazing the live acting is amazing and the animation, writing, filming, and directing tied it all together to make this whole thing feel real, props to everyone on the team!!!!
THIS WAS SO GOOD, and this is a FAN-MADE FILM, serious respect for everyone who worked on This! It looks so real, and the visuals gave me goosebumps!!!
holy shit. you can see every bit of love and care put into this project and it's just breathtaking. this fanbase never ceases to impress me, this is just amazing.
You and the entire team are an inspiration to the Sonic community and to all Indie movie makers across the world! I was in awe from start to finish, and words cannot describe how amazed I was of this whole production! You had a vision, and you finalized it in the highest quality. Be very proud.
I have to give you, Joao and the crew props for putting this fan film together. Thank you all for this 20/10 production!! And shoutout to RandomGoon, Mike Pollock and the other English VA for participating in this!! Yall are EPIC!!!!
@WhisptrzHeat you have a Roblox pfp You have 0 talent You use AI text apps to speak to 'people' You don't know what grass is So next time, keep your awful "opinions" to yourself
The storytelling, the voice acting, and oh the VISUALS! How come fan made short film projects like these are so much better than what most entertainment industries make these days!?
@@TylerBurke-fb2pbfigure of speech kid,look it up.its like if someone says “that kid has balls to fight that guy”it’s meaning is different than what it actually says
I wonder how the rest of G.U.N. reacted to find that they were outsmarted by a young, ill, and brave girl who knew she wasn't going to make it one way or another. I bet they would've been ticked.
I've been following this project since the earliest trailers and it's so satisfying to watch this project come full circle. I watched the original version earlier today and now, typing this with about ten minutes to go before the International premiere, I have to tip my hat to this wonderful production. The rendering, the voices, the acting, all of it is amazing. This team is amazing and it's been a stellar journey from start to finish. It's definitely my favorite Sonic fan-project of this year!🦔❤🖤 #ProjectShadow #ShadowTheHedgehog #SonicMovie3
Can’t believe this was a fan made film. Amazing work! The voice acting is top notch, and it feels like a real part of the live action Sonic universe. Well done!
Yes, I mean, it was explained very well here, even in the games, it doesn't seem to work that way. Shadow is simply very powerful, and I think he would be perfect to go head to head with Sonic from the movie
Dude, you and your team did incredible work on this. Seriously, the storytelling, the effects, the (voice) acting , and the shot direction, for a RUclips fan film, is mind-blowingly good. If someone told me this was actually an official short for the Sonic Movie Universe, I would legitimately believe it. I know saying "SEGA hire this man" is kind of tired at this point, but I would unironically love if you actually got to work on official Sonic media.
4:23 Yes, I love "Broken" 23:59 See the problem with this is that now I have more expectations. Sega better get this movie right. Now, outstanding work from everyone involved. I literally found no flaws in this fan film.
I hope Sega doesn’t try to make Sonic 3 like the Mario movie like the Mario was fine but claiming it’s a good movie isn’t not true remove Mario elements from it and it’s not great
Well, they might be doing something like that in the movie with the way he was teased "Shadow's story began like Sonic's, but where one found family and friends, the other found only pain and loss"
I just saw this, as a fan of sonic and specially Shadow the hedgehog since I have memory. I had to say that this is the most beautiful love letter any fan or group of fans could make for shadow. It explores how his powers manifested little by little and it went really in depth into the character in ways Sega will never attempt with this franchise. Is just awesome

This is why he's the most compelling because shadow goes through the most tragic things goes through the most hardships sure he tried to destroy humanity and he almost succeeded but he realises it's not what Maria would truly want and he changes for the better
Incredible! Well done.
@WhisptrzHeatTwo words of advice, shut up.
@WhisptrzHeatSHUT UP YOU CONTENT IS NOT BETTER THAN THIS MASTERPIECE!
@WhisptrzHeatBro keeps spamming this sh## just to get views lol
@WhisptrzHeatno one care’s
I agree he keeps saying the same thing 🙄😒@@robloxundertaledude8489
The way he screamed "MARIAAAAAAA"Almost got me crying
G.U.N. wanted a savior.
Gerald Robotnik wanted a cure.
Maria wanted a hero.
Shadow just wanted a friend.
So true, and I still feel bad for Shadow.
@@KiNGTiG4R and I wanted a Dr Eggman
@@KiNGTiG4Rsame he’s my favorite I would hug him
G.U.N. wanted money!
@@alceratops6853 ? I mean... "Everyone needs money... The question is, how much." Lex Luthor.
But Shadow is not exactly a money printer. War is a real money sink.
So... 🤔Why say G.U.N. wanted money?
THIS WAS MORE HYPE THAN SONIC MOVIE 3!! NOW I’M EVEN MORE EXCITED FOR IT!! Sonic Movie 3 has to live up to this!
RIGHT!! If sonic movie 3 doesn't do shadows story justice as this fan-made short film it's not canon to me 😤
Oh i am literally hoping each day they won't screw up his story, the writers might aswell have to learn from this fan project to be honest
@@ZIONOMANIAThey have to at least take a little inspiration from this!
Pretty much.
It won't, They will make Batman jokes
Hope the Sonic 3 movie doesn't forget about Dr. Robotnik's grandfather, Maria, nor the prototype Lizard.
Based on the fact that the music that played during the title showcase of Sonic 3 was apparently a rescored Live and Learn, and the fact that part of the title's design holds a direct homage to the title design of Sonic Adventure 2, I'd say they're all definitely gonna be included.
Maria’s actress was revealed not too long ago, so safe to say she did not go forgotten
@@toddelmsworth640 It wasn’t confirmed that the actress was going to play Maria though, right?
@@IronBrandon22 it was, Alyla Browne is Maria’s actress
@@toddelmsworth640 Well then. I thought that it was just the way she looked that made people think she would play Maria.
Bro, the way how impacted Maria's death was for Shadow legit almost made me cry
You know, plot-wise, what really breaks me in this one is that while in canon it wasn't shown if Maria would ever be cured, in this one the ring inhibitors were a step closer to that hope. Gerald, Shadow, and Maria felt like they were making a large progress, that Earth was just in reach.....
And then it was taken away.
The worst kind of despair is one that comes straight after a large hope.
and I even theorised that the final cure would've been Super Shadow since it showed in both Sonic X and the second movie that the Super State could instantly heal the user and others.
if you recall in the Sonic 2 movie, Sonic was badly injured in his fight with the Death Egg Robot to the point that he was LIMPING, and covered in dirt, but after the Chaos Emeralds reacted to his family love for Tom and Maddie, he became Super Sonic and he made a full recovery instantly, completely healed and clean even after he reverts to normal.
and in Sonic X, Super Sonic is shown to be able to heal others with his powers, it's not known how far this healing can go, but it's likely it would work on such a cellular level that Super Shadow could have gotten rid of Maria's NIDS entirely, leaving her permanently healthy and on the first space pod/shuttle to Earth.
@@neo-warkid4edwards222 not to mention the IDW comics, since it helped to burn off the metal virus out of him
that too, like I said, near-total cellular healing/regeneration@@somehelluvafanboy8357
It's not a good idea to pit black dooms DNA in sick people. He has mind control over his offspring. Thise aliens ha e alot of powers. If shadow never put the rings on he would've gained more.
The super form has also been shown to go as far as bring back the recently dead in Sonic 06@neo-warkid4edwards222
This may possibly be the best Sonic fanfilm I've ever laid my eyes on! The final scene with Maria's sacrifice was so impactful and well executed, I felt so bad for Shadow! This seriously raises both my expectations and excitement for Sonic 3 by a lot and I really hope that the people working on the movie get the chance to see this to take inspiration from the love and care put into it!
This is truly a honor thank you very much!
Disculpa mi Ignorancia Pero el corto trata de la historia de Shadow, verdad? Osea los que trabajaron en el filme no le agregaron nada que no fuera parte de la historia canónica?? 👀

#ProjectShadow
Dude!!! This was amazing! I’ve been following this project for quite a while now. I’m so proud of what you and your team made! I can’t wait to see what else you create in the future 🖤🖤🖤
I loved this movie I absolutely loved shadow hes so freaking cute and the relationship between him and Maria is ahhhhh they act like brother and sister 😍🖤🦔
Un increible fanfilm 🤩🍿👏
@@Starrmonster02I ALSO love this short movie "Project Shadow" as well, old friend. AND the end of that movie REALLY wanted me to give poor Shadow the Hedgehog a great big Shadow Hug to make HIM feel better about ALL of his losses, especially the loss of his first friend Maria Robotnik. After all, Shadow the Hedgehog is SO absolutely cute and cuddly, you know... WAY softer and cuddlier than that blue boy Sonic EVER was, SINCE Shadow IS my number one favorite character in the entire Sonic canon, with Knuckles the Echidna as my number two and Vector the Crocodile (Vector the Detector) as my number three. And besides THAT... we can ALL boon from a great big Shadow Hug from Shadow the hedgehog to make us feel better as well as a great big Minion Hug as well as a great big Doughboy Hug as well. They're ALL exra soft and fluffy, you know. And one more thing, stay strong, Shadow the Hedgehog. We ALL love you.
@@marchartley2457 same here literally at the end I just want to give shadow a hug
With the trailer for sonic 3 out. How many of us can imagine this as the official prologue for sonic 3?
It's more accurate to sonic 3 then I thought it would be
I am
We can only hope for this level of depth.
But I'm afraid pg 13 won't allow this and movie will be more action based.
But a fan could hope.
Man F*** all the people who mock Shadow for being an "edgelord", as someone who suffers from depression, regurgitated thoughts, and domestic abuse from my childhood, I find Shadow to be the most relatable Sonic character. How can you not feel for this poor soul who had to watch his only friend be murdered due to the government's fear of his very existence? He's even the only male Sonic character that we've seen to shed tears in the games iirc, ooooh how dark and edgy. Despite all of the BS he's been put through, he's learned to forgive and put the past behind him. Shadow the Hedgehog is such an AMAZING character and I look forward to seeing his story on the big screen next year!
Yes, Shadow used to be a great character in Adventure but they nerfed him on the recent media, specially in the idw comics, excepting on Prime. Now he's just a ''Im better than anyone because big ego, look how emotionless and heartless I am, oh I'm so edgy''. Real Shadow is traumatized and lived isolated and captive (he's basically a domestic hedgehog while Sonic is a wild one), he didn't believe by himself to be the ultimate life form, it was imposed on him by everyone, had a lot of pressure to win and saw everything he loved die in front of his eyes while being helpless. He was serious and independent, it's true, but not a clon of Vegeta on crack. He loved someone genuinely to the point of killing to protect them, he cried several times. He was cool
I despise the people who only see him as an edge lord
@@downbadforacomputervirus Me too. I was called an edge lord by Nintendo fanboys just for hoping that Shadow would be playable in Smash Bros Ultimate back in 2018, it really annoys me that people can’t see past the stupid memes and appreciate this character for how well written he was in Adventure 2.
Man f*** , I can imagine the nasty toot he rip when he see Maria get splattered, so amazing. I mostly relate to vector because he’s a money hungry Neanderthal and that coincides with my traumatic childhood as well
W
when he screamed Maria I was genuinely shocked. That sounded too real 😭
What makes it better is that you don't even see Maria get shot. You just see a gun go off and immediately cut to Shadow's reaction. You can hear him breathing heavily and everything is black and white. All the color and humanity has been taken away from him in this moment. As you said, the way he screams Maria is actually scary how genuine it sounded.
Fr thoo
That line was incredibly voice acted
@@complex2live and also the fact that his eyes stays *red* while everything goes black and white… it’s like red symbolises the blood that has being shed
When I saw that part, I bawled my eyes out
This was a perfect adaptation of Shadow’s story and my god Maria’s Sacrifice was just heartbreaking! 10/10
Edit: WHO ELSE IS HERE AFTER THE TRAILER DROPPED?
I know Maria’s sacrifice was absolutely heartbreaking I feel so awful for shadow he couldn’t do anything all he could do was just watch 😢🥺
@@Starrmonster02 yeah I knew it was bad in SA2 and Sonic X but to show us like if we were there is just tragic!
@@brickzoneanimations8395 yeah now I know how shadow feels and if I was in his position I would have a absolute breakdown
@@Starrmonster02 I mean who wouldn’t go into a breakdown if you saw your best friend get killed right in front of you?
@WhisptrzHeat wut?
The Sonic 3 trailer is out ! It's crazy how much Shadow looks like this fan made !
Well the design is based off Sonic's design so is it really that surprising?
I’m glad you guys enjoyed my portrayal of Shadow!
Estuvo genial eres la voz perfecta para Shadow, deberían llamarte para Sonic 3, esta hermosa ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your voice for shadow was simply PERFECT you should be shadow's official voice actor
You did a fantastic job ❤️🖤
You did A M A Z I N G!!!! Random Goon! that scream for Maria at the end was heart-wrenching! 🖤❤
Fucking perfection
It all starts with this... a fan film containing the ultimate appreciation for the original.
DAYUM
Haha yeah instead of starting with a chaos emerald it all started with a fan made movie🤣
@@Starrmonster02 😆😄🤣
indeed
My name is shadow, I’m the worlds ultimate life form there’s no time for games farewell!
This is easily one of THE best fanfilms I've ever seen. Of any fandom. Just point blank period. I like a lot of homages you did to the other media in Sonic, the reference to the first Sonic movie with "I was not expecting that, but I was expecting to not expect anything so it doesn't count", Shadow's moves against the soldiers were a fun nod to his game moves in his solo game. You even see hints of his more...aggressive so to speak side when he holds the gun at the soldier's face.
Loved the delivery when Shadow says "Coward." too. The voice work was great. You can easily see just how easy it it to tip Shadow over the edge. This just felt like such a love letter not just to Shadow himself, but all of Sonic media. It makes you remember that to Shadow, this loss isn't 50 years ago. It's a recurring nightmare.
Revealed toot rip from a thong string or something as well, I did recall as I ripped fart while Beckham
Hope Sonic movie does something just as good as this. If they don't, i Will take this as the real cannon
I agree. After being in suspended animation for so long, he couldn’t have known that it’s been years since that incident occurred, let alone 50.
I love the fact that Shadow overuses his chaos powers. Why? Because it's his first real fight. He doesn't even how to fight.
He doesn't know his possibilities in combat, he doesn't know how to use his speed. He was to scared to think. So he uses the most powerful thing in his arsenal: chaos powers. Because from his perspective only chaos power could protect him and Maria.
Only later he will learn to fight thought using his speed mostly, without relaying on chaos powers all the time.
And what's why Shadow will blame himself for not being strong enough. Not being strong or smart enough when he needed to be.
6:37 really shows how Shadow went from being Gerald's experiment to a member of his family.
Just what I was thinking 😊
Exactly
Man, Maria's final moments were so harrowing and the horror in Shadow's eyes was heartbreaking. This was such a cool film! Mad props to everyone who worked on it! So much hype for Sonic 3
This is one of the best Sonic fan-films ever made.
Paramount should take notes and have an opening scene like this
I agree, however I don't think all of Shadow's origin story should be the prologue. It would give away too many things. Well, unless... Shadow's birth can be shown via flashback before cutting to the title card. In fact, you know what? I think Sonic Movie 3 should go the way Guardians Vol. 3 went down. Where throughout the movie, Shadow flashbacks to his past at certain moments.
(Oh my God do Rocket and Shadow share similar backgrounds.)
I think it would work better as a flashback personally
My thoughts exactly.
@@liamphibiathey could do it like SA2 where they show parts of Shadow backstory in certain scenes throughout the cutscenes
I won't be surprised if they botch it!!!!! Showbiz usually does!!!
The post credit scene at the end of the video was amazing. Love the dialogue "Looks like he didn't tell you everything" BLACK DOOM'S voice was so synical!
Man, this short film is amazing. It feels like a prequel to Sonic Movie 3. This is epic! Can’t wait to see the third Sonic movie. I’d love to see Shadow make a big hit!
Me too can’t wait to see shadow in action
Same 😊
Imagine they find this and make it canon
your absolutely incorrect
I totally agree! Seeing this actually gives Shadow himself a whole deeper and more emotional storyline (even though this isnt officially CANON....yet) Shadow is a TRUE hero imo!
Truly an honor to work with such a talented team, glad everyone is enjoying Project Shadow! João and everybody involved worked so hard to make this the best it could be.
I also do hope that the scene at the end with Maria really stuck with you guys, gave it all my all to make that scene as impactful as could be with my performance. Sorry Maria!
That scene had my in tears my guy honestly it’s the best way I’ve seen her sacrifice shown
It was absolutley incredible, you nailed it!
@@joshuahicks7798 thanks but that credit goes to TheRandomGoon! I was the GUN Soldier that killed Maria
@WhisptrzHeat imagine someone commenting this 💀
@@VoicesOfNathan whoops. Thanks for the correction. You did them well
Sonic 3 take notes!! This is so clean and Shadows personality before Maria's death seems so spot on!
I think they are they did for the Sonic redesign
Back after sonic 3 trailer. Worth it
@@lazerboi6607 HELL YEAH!!!
Sonic 3 depicted that perfectly now thanks Paramount
The fact that Maria sacrificed herself for Shadow and Shadow had to see her die is so heartbreaking and heartaching
I love the fact that shadow could've killed the gun soldiers but Maria stopped him
I hope the people who’re working on the 3rd movie watch this and see all the love its getting! You guys put so much care into this, and it really shows!
Sonic Movie Writer Pat Casey approved the short.
THE FACT THAT THIS IS FANMADE IS AMAZING OMG THAT WAS THE BEST THING EVER
Gerald's acting IS INSANE he moves and acts exactly like movie eggman. The actor really nailed it
He's insane because he found out Maria's name was on the list of the dead, he grew angry, all he could think about was to avenge her, he thought of ideas of destroying humanity for what they did, which scared him, it eventually consumed him and drove him insane, altered Shadow's memories to think about revenge, and programmed the ARK to crash into earth's orbit and shatter everything
I'm hoping that the group responsible for this gets pulled on into the actual Sonic movie series and that they give them FULL creative freedom AND use this in it.
My expectations for Sonic 3 just shot through the after this.
Truly heartbreaking and extremely well done! The animators, live actors, voice actors, musicians, and everyone else involved in this did an outstanding job! The actual Sonic 3 has some big shoes to fill!
Also, the Mike Pollock cameo was a nice touch!
at the same time there was an inconsistancy in the fact that G.U.N isnt supposed to have formed until after the first sonic movie. but other then that this short film is incredible!
@@slimgrim3607GUN was a thing during Project Shadow’s conception in the comics, games and Sonic X
@@masemboross4996but this is the MOVIE universe, where G.U.N was formed directly after and as a result of sonics fight in San Francisco. The commander even says it himself.
Unless this is a different continuity which just so happens to have a shadow that looks similar to his movie counterpart
what if GUN existed way before its official announcement but was acting undercover, like the government's shadow/spies
I love how this version shows Maria as more than a one note character and to serve as a tragic story for Shadow. She has a great big sister dynamic with Shadow and goes well with Gerald.
14:12 Maria definitely got the Robotnik smart gene.
According to the Sonic News Network Wiki Zone Maria Robotnik was implied to come from a long line of brilliant scientists
I wonder if the third installment will even include *Maria's parents,* since we don't know entirely much about the Robotnik family.
This is easily one of the most ambitious sonic fan projects i have EVER seen. Y'all NAILED Shadow's design, the lore explanations behind the air shoes, chaos abilities, & inhibitor rings was excellent, & everyone's characterization was damn near perfect!!! Fantastic job to everyone involved!
4:08 😃 Hey! That’s The Unused Song “Broken” that was going to be used on the STH Game but didn’t make it.
I’m glad it’s in this video!
17:05 And a Reference to Shadow the Hedgehog’s Cinematic Intro.
And the credits plays "all of me"
It's freakin' first time a fanmade thing was able to give me goosebumps
Are you sure you didn't cooperate with Paramount while making this? IT'S A GODDAMN MASTERPIECE! YOU DID AN EXTREMELY NICE TAKE ON SHADOW'S PERSONALITY IN THE ARK, 50/10!
HE IS SUCH A HAPPY BOYYY WHEN HES WITH MARIA!!!
Yet the death of his dear friend changed him forever.😔
@@liamphibia true😭😭😭💔
I love the part after shadow shoots the target with his hand when Robotnic said "That was not expected, but I was expecting not to expect anything so that doesn't count" That line was used in the 1st sonic movie, just thought that was a funny detail😂
Like Grandfather, like Grandson.
So true
He got it from him
Who ever voiced Maria and Shadow, they were amazing and they deserve a raise! He’s truly the ultimate life form! ♥️🖤 They should be definitely be starting in the 3rd movie! 🎥

Ok I really like Shadow's voice here, is like a perfect middle ground between Jason Griffith and Keanu Reeves
I know right??? Definitely sounds a bit more innocent when he’s on the ARK before everything was turned upside down for him
the best part is this came out like 4 months before keanu was confirmed
About that….
@@ryan6274 What???
I love this short film and the way Shadow was portrayed. His backstory is remarkably accurate. Potential prequel to the upcoming Sonic 3 movie 😆
I can hear the voice of my younger self shouting with excitement. The depth of my adoration for this is beyond comprehension. Your remarkable creation deserves an immense commendation. Without any hesitation, I say that this is the most exceptional Sonic fan endeavor I have ever encountered. Witnessing this fills my heart with joy. Words cannot adequately express the magnitude of my affection for this.
As someone who’s life revolves around Shadow
I completely agree with this statement and more
@WhisptrzHeat i mean if you didn't ask why are you commenting? + why do you keep replying to everyone, no one cares
For sure , it's giving me want to finish up a backstory of my oc which is a direct inspired by shadow too. And revolves around space colony a.r.k headcanon for sure😅
Who's here after watching Sonic the Hedgehog 3 trailer!?
Yeah bro, I was looking for this comment
I think this is actually canon
@@BDSFormula1 The story might be, but Shadows design aint cuttin it
@@NemphiGaming movie 1 sonic v movie 3 sonic
@@NemphiGaming Could say that this version is when shadow was young , in the official trailer is an older version cuz the guy who create Shadow is seen very old.
This was a beautiful film, this is practically canon in the sonic movieverse in my opinion. Loved how the Inhibitor Rings were portrayed, how they were meant to stabilize his powers and genetic code so they can be decrypted and understood, yet they held Shadow back and prevented him from saving Maria. The Chaos Control sequences were amazing, and Shadow's animation itself is just as great as the movies. Thank you for the spectacular work put into this film, it was way past cool! 😄
I know seeing shadow using chaos control chaos spear and how his inhibitor rings controlling his Powers is amazing 🤩
If Sonic movie 3 makes his back story visually vague then yes it’s cannon
This is so well made i love it. It knows exactly why we love Shadow without making him cringe or uncool. You guys really care about the real emotions hidden within this fantasy hedgehog.
Or edgy but yeah this is what shadow actually feels he’s a nice caring guy
As I seen someone comment how shadow isn't edgy at all, he's just depressed of losing maria. And was in a heartbroken moment.
only five minutes in and I am immediately hooked on Shadow’s characterization being a sweet friend/companion for Maria
Now that the sonic 3 movie trailer is out. I'm considering this as Canon

BRO SHUT UP
I’m talking to whisper hear
Can’t believe this was a fan made film. Amazing work! The voice acting is top notch, and it feels like a real part of the live action Sonic universe. Well done!
I know it felt like it was a actual sonic movie
Agreed
We will never be able to thank you enough for helping us survive this long wait for Sonic 3! About to watch this again several times before Christmas!
Maria saying “Sayonara, Shadow the Hedgehog” hit me right in the feels, ouch man.
21:45
I love how they handled Shadow's chaos powers! They looked way cooler in this than in the games. Kudos to you guys for such an amazing short film!
I know shadows chaos powers looks way more cooler than in the games
Yes, I mean, it was explained very well here, even in the games, it doesn't seem to work that way. Shadow is simply very powerful, and I think he would be perfect to go head to head with Sonic from the movie
Dude, you and your team did incredible work on this.
Seriously, the storytelling, the effects, the (voice) acting , and the shot direction, for a RUclips fan film, is mind-blowingly good.
If someone told me this was actually an official short for the Sonic Movie Universe, I would legitimately believe it.
I know saying "SEGA hire this man" is kind of tired at this point, but I would unironically love if you actually got to work on official Sonic media.
Thank you so much!
This fan film is hands down one of my favorite sonic fan made media I've ever seen and I love it, very much!!! Props to the crew behind this fan film.
dude this was INSANE, everyone who worked on this did amazing, my favourite sonic fan film 100%

Shadow's voice acting was really good, although it did remind me of Mewtwo from "Mewtwo Strikes Back" at some points
IT WAS INSANE
Thoroughly enjoyed it, depicted his canon story fantastically! Compliments to everyone who worked on this film!!!
4:23 Yes, I love "Broken"
23:59 See the problem with this is that now I have more expectations. Sega better get this movie right. Now, outstanding work from everyone involved. I literally found no flaws in this fan film.
I hope Sega doesn’t try to make Sonic 3 like the Mario movie like the Mario was fine but claiming it’s a good movie isn’t not true remove Mario elements from it and it’s not great
This feels like a prequel short before Sonic 3 releases in theaters in December,
But ey nice work on it!
Had to keep reminding myself this was a fan movie and not the prologue for Sonic 3. Very nicely done!
Shadows design is EPIC like it’s actually part of the real movie
Not having the Sonic 3 movie voice actor but fits well
Now THIS is how I want Shadow to be written, someone who use to be like Sonic but changed for the worse due to unfortunate circumstances
😊
That fits him a whole lot more than him being brainwashed by Gerald
That be cool
Well, they might be doing something like that in the movie with the way he was teased "Shadow's story began like Sonic's, but where one found family and friends, the other found only pain and loss"
@@onedaxsterHe's once carefree, yes, although not as much as Sonic.
I just saw this, as a fan of sonic and specially Shadow the hedgehog since I have memory. I had to say that this is the most beautiful love letter any fan or group of fans could make for shadow. It explores how his powers manifested little by little and it went really in depth into the character in ways Sega will never attempt with this franchise. Is just awesome
