Me personally.. 1. David - the best voice for shadow imo, especially when Shadow was still affected from his past. 2. Jason - his take on Shadow voice was nice, i feel like it fit during when Shadow is slowly accepting his past. 3. Ian - his voice for Shadow fit after he's no longer bound by the trama of his past and looking forward to protecting his new home.
Jason Griffith is my all time favorite voice for shadow as I grew up with him I also like David Humphrey and Kirk Thornton has improved since he started in the boom series and Ian Hanlin was great in Sonic prime now I am looking forward to seeing how Keanu Reeves will perform as Shadow in the new movie thanks for sharing this 👍🦔🖤
1. Ian Hanlin. Without a doubt, my favorite Shadow portrayal. He's got both the gruffness and the bass that Shadow needs, and he's got the most life in his voice out of all of them. 2. Jason Griffith. His portrayal in Sonic X was a little weak, but he got a good grasp on the voice in Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic 06. There's a reason his take is so iconic. 3. David Humphries. He was at his strongest in Sonic Heroes. Honestly, I think he was underserved by the sound mixing in SA2, but he does a very good job in the most important scenes. 4. Kirk Thornton. I don't think he's bad per se, but he hasn't had the best opportunities to show his skill. Even in the Sonic X Shadow Generations animation, though, I think he lacks some important grit to his voice to make him as versatile as the others. I think it would be unfair to rank Keanu Reaves since he's only been in one movie trailer so far, but I anticipate I will really like him.
Kudos to Kirk Thornton. He vastly improved from his earlier appearances in Boom and Free Riders. He doesn’t just sound like an angsty teen with a frog in his throat anymore. He’s actually been nailing Shadow’s smoothness more recently.
Ian Hanlin for sure! This is the first time Shadow actually sounds eloquent and intelligent. The others make him sound edgy but imo there is no depth to it (Keanu excluded because we haven't heard much of him yet). But I must say I did like the way Kirk voiced Shadow in the recent Sonic X Shadow Dark Generations episode. There was certain warmth to it that I really liked.
David Humphrey will always be the best for me. Nails the slight edginess yet the warm heart Shadow truly has deep down. Also sounds like he listens to the music that plays through his levels haha But very excited to hear more of Keanu Reeves
@@Jesus-is-love4ever Yes, porcupine. but that was solved and in the following presentations of the character they clarified that it was a hedgehog: "I am Shadow, Shadow the hedgehog"
@@SonicSatamAnimations There are many differences between a porcupine and a hedgehog. For example: Porcupines are rodents (hedgehogs aren't even rodents), they are much larger in size compared to them, their quills are long and they can be lowered and raised at will. They also don't curl up.
SA2 and Sonic X Shadows’ are my childhood Shadow voices but seeing Sonic Prime and Shadow there with Ian’s voice was SO REFRESHING and good! Since then this is my favourite out of all the others ❤
1. Jason (really good in sonic x and Shadow the hedgehog) 2. David 3. Ian 4. Kirk (really didn't like him in Boom) Keanu(undecided) - gotta hear more of his lines.
It’s hard to say. Jason Griffith I’ve been the most familiar with and is probably my favorite. David Humphrey is great, but it’s a shame he had a short run when Sonic’s transition to 3D was still rough. Kirk Thornton I didn’t like for a while but he really grew into the role and the recent shorts showed it. Ian Hanlin I think is secretly the best. He has the best range. And I can’t wait to see how Keanu voices Shadow. Very excited for the movie.
@@dragonlord6484honestly it doesn’t help that at the start of when he was hired is when Sega simplified most of the Sonic characters he’s definitely better bc of a better voice direction but yeah I feel bad for that dude he was just given a bad start
I just adore David’s ability to make Shadow sound intimidating when he feels he needs to be, but softer and more emotional when he feels unsure or vulnerable or really anything other than angry. Jason and Kirk to me just sound too unnatural and forced. Ian was perfect for Shadow in Sonic Prime, since he was written as a much more confident, self-assured character, and really nailed it with Shadow’s growls and lower register too. I’m excited to hear Keanu’s Shadow performance, I think he has the potential to be a good mix of David’s emotional voice and Ian’s aggressive, confident voice.
Jason Griffith has always been my favorite mainly because I raised to hear that voice. Plus, I just think it's the best voice that fits his personality. But I LOVE Ian Hanlin and Keanu Reeves. I used to hate Kirk's Shadow (I think it may have been Boom Shadow that I didn't like), but after seeing the Shadow Generations animation, he's won a place in my heart too.
David Humphrey in 1st, and Jason Griffith in 2nd. David’s best performance during his run was Sonic Heroes and Jason’s best performance during his run was Sonic and the Black Knight, and outside of that he was borderline perfect in S&TR. I still need to hear more from Keanu to form a bigger opinion on him.
dont criticise shadow's movie voice by Jason n David( these 2 were too good).. David made the basis, Jason gave his own take.. I DUNNO WHY TF DOES KIRK SOMETHING SOUND SOOO BADDD. but Keanu is for two things- popularity increase references of shadow the hedgehog og game.. (edgy sh8 u know)
@@avasyubiswal5421who said I was criticizing Keanu’s Shadow voice? I like David and Jason best, I don’t take Keanu as a top favorite yet because we hardly heard anything from him yet, lol. Ik he will kill it in the SM3, but we shouldn’t make any assumptions yet. I know he’s for popularity increase and some fan-service, but that’s not enough of a fair argument to determine who is the better Shadow voice.
My ranking: 5. Keanu Reeves: it just does not sit well with me yet 4. David Humphrey: he has the smoothness and the mysterious vibe to it, but I wish the voice was deeper. The higher voice makes him sound a little whiny at times. 3. Kirk Thornton: Definitely the most improved player. While it’s not perfect, as of Sonic X Shadow Generations, and possibly even Forces, his voice finally has Shadow’s smoothness. I also adore the personality in his voice, and the deepness is just right. 2. Jason Griffith: I’ll concede: the former GOAT has been dethroned. I may have bias because his voice is so damn hard to match, but when he voices Shadow, the smoothness is perfect. He does a great job getting the edginess, yet calmness of his voice. My one gripe is that his edginess is a little over the top, and removes Shadow’s personality. I’ve noticed that when doing my Shadow voice with a Jason Griffith inflection. 1. Ian Hanlin: This guy took the personality of Kirk, the mysterious vibe of David, and the smoothness of Jason, and gave us the best Shadow voice, as well as the first Shadow voice that I can remember which doesn’t feel like an outlier from the voices of the other Sonic characters.
It still feels unreal that Keanu fucking Reeves aka John Wick aka Neo from the matrix aka Ted Theodore Logan aka Jonathan Harker from Dracula is now the voice of Shadow the Hedgehog it’s the best combo since peanut butter and jelly I hope I’m not dreaming cause if I am I do not want to wake up
My list: 5. Kirk Thornton- just sounds a little bit weird that’s all 4. Jason Griffith - a little higher pitched than what I think he should sound like 3. David Humphrey - it has a weird but good vibe to it 2. Keanu Reeves - haven’t heard him much; but I do have high hopes for the 3rd movie and from what we got he sounds good 1. Ian Hanlin - he sounds really good ; he’s got that lower tone but now too low, not too high like Kirk, he’s like perfect for him
All respect to Jason Griffith for pulling off Sonic AND Shadow so effortlessly yet making them distinct. Keanu’s on the come up but I think Griffith is still the GOAT
David was really quite good, especially once Heroes rolled around. He was menacing and had some gravitas, especially in his early scenes, but he had a sense of cockiness that mirrored Sonic's. He was the Ultimate Lifeform and he *knew* it.
4:53 before they confirm that Keanu Reeves would be the voice of Shadow. Who did you think could be his VA? I had Jason Momoa, Jason Griffin, Keith David and Kirk Thornton in mind
I would’ve loved to see Hayden Christensen to be Shadow’s VA liked the rumors was speculated. I’m confident enough to believe Hayden would’ve pull it off!
Ian Halen and David Humphries are my fave Shadow VA's, but that's mainly because I'm used to Ryan Mitchum voicing Shadow from the Sonic dubs. I hope Keanu did his homework in regard to the Sonic movie, but from what I hear, I worry that I'll just hear John Wick and not Shadow's.
*1st Place David Humphrey* You can't be the first, the original, the best (and not even because of nostalgia). The smoothness, and the seriousness all mesh as one, and the play-off of Sonic's personality all working together is what made Shadow, Shadow. *2nd Place Ian Hanlin* After years of people changing Shadow and not knowing who he is supposed to be and what is supposed he to act like Ian comes close to bringing Shadow back to his former glory. But the voice is too griddy at times and the hip Gen Z lines don't help as it tries to force coolness on to his character. 3rd Place Jason Griffith* Hum, well this guy sounds too much like Sonic......... You can hear it in his voice to offend and when he first showed up in Sonic X, he sounded like the Gentleman thief. While he's not bad, he just comes off as a little goofy. *4th Place Kirk Thornton but really last place* MAN!!!! This guy is terrible for Shadow's voice. I can't sugarcoat........Whenever you hear his voice it sounds like an evil cartoon villain out for REVENGE! Every line sounds worse and worse and the voice makes the personality far, far off from who and what Shadow is supposed to be. He's too dark, too cartoonist mad scientist, too gravelly, and too much of trying to be bad (in a way that makes you look cool....) to be taken seriously as Shadows's actual voice. Everybody who placed him before still tries to capture the smooth tone of Shadow's voice but NOT THIS GUY! *Keanu Reaves is Undecided* There have not been enough lines to make a full judgment on him yet.......
Love this video concept. Definitely Ian as my favorite Shadow portrayal. Yes, Jason holds a place in my heart from X cartoon but Ian. . . The smugness, intelligence, edge but protectively determined. . . again Ian nailed Amy's Shadow!! Totally brings the Ultimate Lifeform to true life!! 😍😍🌸🌸 Everyone have a blessed Monday September 30, 2024 at 9:29PM. 🌸🔥🌸🔥
I always knew Kirk Thornton could be a great shadow voice if he was given different direction. knowing he voices also Saïx in kingdom hearts, who’s voice and personality is already very shadow-like, I thought he could be perfect but it just wasn’t quite there in the past. I think his performance in Shadow Gens was a gigantic improvement
Ian Hanlin has that perfect mixture of Jason Griffith and David Humphrey. Keanu is just Keanu i cant compare his voice to others. Its too nostalgic for me
I kept thinking that I didn't really like Shadow's voice in the movie, I thought it was dry, but after watching this video I realized. Unlike the other voices, Keanu's voice sounds too mature for Shadow, the others sounded stern and like a teenager or at least a 20-year-old guy, but in the movie Shadow really sounds like he's 50 or even older. 😅
I Absolutely Love Jason Griffith as My All Time Favorite English Dub Voice Actor of Shadow the Hedgehog of the *Sonic* Games franchise throughout the years. I grew up with him, and he's still No.#1 as Shadow. I suppose David Humphrey and Kirk Thornton both Super Epic as Shadow the Hedgehog in the *Sonic Boom* franchise, and Ian Hanlin was Super Incredible and Remarkable as Shadow in *Sonic Prime.* Now THIS year in 2024, in only two months away from December, can't wait to see and hear Kaenu Reeves as the Ultimate Edge Lord Hedgehog in the Brand Newest *Sonic the Hedgehog 3* Live-Action Movie! 😄😁👍👍
@@DeniInDenial it’s pretty good in sonic x shadow generations. Thought I can still hear a slight hint of yujiro, I guess I just can’t help that being a Baki fan 😂
I wasn't really a fan of Kirk Thornton's performance since I had only heard his voice in Sonic Boom but I think he's grown well into the role with Sonic x Shadow Generations
It's greatfull and understanding Kirk Thorton has upgrade his Shadow's Cast. In the series, wasn't interesting as Roger Craig Smith as Sonic. It was weird and too old for him.

1. David - the best voice for shadow imo, especially when Shadow was still affected from his past.
2. Jason - his take on Shadow voice was nice, i feel like it fit during when Shadow is slowly accepting his past.

Yessssssssss! 🗿
Kirk Thornton didn’t start in the Boom Series lol
He started in 2010
1. Ian Hanlin. Without a doubt, my favorite Shadow portrayal. He's got both the gruffness and the bass that Shadow needs, and he's got the most life in his voice out of all of them.
2. Jason Griffith. His portrayal in Sonic X was a little weak, but he got a good grasp on the voice in Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic 06. There's a reason his take is so iconic.

finally another person whose favorite va is ian
Agreed
I just find it funny that Thornton is putting way more effort in the Generations prequel shorts than he ever did in Boom.
@@ContingencyPlan100 I think he's growing into the role more
Bros favorite is Ian, how tasteless 💀
Kudos to Kirk Thornton. He vastly improved from his earlier appearances in Boom and Free Riders. He doesn’t just sound like an angsty teen with a frog in his throat anymore. He’s actually been nailing Shadow’s smoothness more recently.
He sounds like Raiden from MGRR❤
@@dr.shtoporI would say that Raiden sounds more like Knuckles in Boom
Ian's voice for Shadow sounds so natural and not too forced, hope to see him portray Shadow in the future :,)
Ian Hanlin for sure!
This is the first time Shadow actually sounds eloquent and intelligent. The others make him sound edgy but imo there is no depth to it (Keanu excluded because we haven't heard much of him yet).

*3:44**-**4:51*
I think Ian Hanlin did great in Shadows voice, hope we hear more of him
🤩🤗🥰
The voice acting is very nice, especially in Prime, they do Shadow's voice acting very nicely.
David Humphrey will always be the best for me. Nails the slight edginess yet the warm heart Shadow truly has deep down. Also sounds like he listens to the music that plays through his levels haha
But very excited to hear more of Keanu Reeves
1:15
Fun fact: in the Spanish version there was an error and they presented him as Shadow the PORCUPINE
😂😂
PORCUPINE?!!!😂😂😂😂😊
@@Jesus-is-love4ever
Yes, porcupine. but that was solved and in the following presentations of the character they clarified that it was a hedgehog:
"I am Shadow, Shadow the hedgehog"

@@Francisco_Navesi-jb3vn Well sonic and shadow sure are much larger than a normal hedgehog. Maybe we have been deceived this whole time
Why no one’s saying Ian Hanlin is their favorite? He voiced Shadow in a way we haven’t seen in 10 years.
C'est ma favorite personnellement
Yeah, he hits that perfect balance between Kirk and Humphrey, imo.
Because he isn’t the best
SA2 and Sonic X Shadows’ are my childhood Shadow voices but seeing Sonic Prime and Shadow there with Ian’s voice was SO REFRESHING and good! Since then this is my favourite out of all the others ❤
because it’s their opinion, that’s why
I know the damn line is iconic, but I never ever heard Shadow telling Eggman he’s going straight to hell- what a fuckin line. That goes hard.
I am not the only one who really liked shadows voice actor in sonic prime?
It's pretty much unanimous that the va from sonic prime is really good, he's my favorite
You’re not the only one. Ian Hanlin did a fantastic job voicing him
Oh yeah, he’s definitely my favorite
@@tdjkhazard4522 Especially because it's the same person who voiced Sunburst in MLP!
Nope! That voice actor did a great job voicing Shadow in Sonic Prime!
1. Jason (really good in sonic x and Shadow the hedgehog)
2. David
3. Ian
4. Kirk (really didn't like him in Boom)
Keanu(undecided) - gotta hear more of his lines.
David Humphrey will always be my favorite VA for Shadow!!
It's so smooth and welcoming

If there will be a scene of Shadow looking for the Chaos Emeralds, they better have him say this line (1:48).
Stop trying to bring cussing back..........
Who the fuck cares and damn isnt a curse world
Jason, Ian, and Keanu are easily the best ones! No offense to Kirk but he makes Shadow sound like an old man.
Sonic Boom Shadow voice is so jarring but every other voice I’m used to.
What about David?
@@nicksterdisneyandpixarclub he's not bad at all, just not as good as Jason, Ian, and Keanu
@@dragonlord6484honestly it doesn’t help that at the start of when he was hired is when Sega simplified most of the Sonic characters he’s definitely better bc of a better voice direction but yeah I feel bad for that dude he was just given a bad start

Why did Jason Griffith sound different in the show vs the games? I think his game portrayal was perfection though

Jason is the definitive voice of Shadow for me. But ever since Forces, Kirk has gotten much better.
Eh. He still just sounds like "Evil Sonic" to me.
*1st Place David Humphrey*
You can't be the first, the original, the best (and not even because of nostalgia). The smoothness, and the seriousness all mesh as one, and the play-off of Sonic's personality all working together is what made Shadow, Shadow.
*2nd Place Ian Hanlin*
After years of people changing Shadow and not knowing who he is supposed to be and what is supposed he to act like Ian comes close to bringing Shadow back to his former glory. But the voice is too griddy at times and the hip Gen Z lines don't help as it tries to force coolness on to his character.

To be honest Kirk Thornton never really did it for me as the voice of shadow I was hoping it would stop after Sonic Forces
He actually impressed me with Sonic x Shadow Generations Dark Beginnings shorts. Like his voice soften and sounds similar to David’s
Jasson Griffith but sonic boom is also pretty insane
3:25 What kind of cartoon is this?
That’s the official Sonic X Shadow Generations: Dark Beginnings Animation trailer.
Watch it, it’s good
It's like a mix of 2D and 3D animations combined together

What about Sonic x Shadow Generations?
@@DeniInDenial it’s pretty good in sonic x shadow generations. Thought I can still hear a slight hint of yujiro, I guess I just can’t help that being a Baki fan 😂
My favorite voice is Keanu Reeves
Shadow in sonic prime is honestly one of my favorite versions.
3:23 what game is that called
Sonic X Shadow Generations
I wasn't really a fan of Kirk Thornton's performance since I had only heard his voice in Sonic Boom but I think he's grown well into the role with Sonic x Shadow Generations
'''Boo'''
-SHADOW
David Humphrey is my favorite since the beginning, but I think Ian Hanlin made a good job in Prime! 👍🏻✨
2:12 best shadow
If I were to choose the true voice of Shadow, it would be Kirk Thornton, for his foreboding voice and dark tone.
😂
They’re all great
The main antihero of Sonic the Hedeghog Series of Sega
I MISS DAVID HUMPHREY DANG IT! ITS SO PERFECT!😭😭😭😭😭 or JASON GRIFFITH!😭😭😭😭
My favourite Shadow's voice is Keanu Reeves.
Sonic after shadow warps
“KUHHH”
Omg i want Kirk Thornton to say «Metal gear rising: Revengenance».
I won't even complain if this movie has a bad ending for sonic... That shadow sound so dark😅😅😅
Kirk Thornton Is My Favourite Shadow Voice Actor
Jason without a doubt cuz he sounds like Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne
It's greatfull and understanding Kirk Thorton has upgrade his Shadow's Cast.
In the series, wasn't interesting as Roger Craig Smith as Sonic.
It was weird and too old for him.
I love shadow so much TEAM SHADOW FOREVER 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
1. Jason Griffith
2. Ian Hanlin
3. Kirk Thornton (as of Sonic x Shadow generations)
4. David Humphries
So David is last because Kirk got better? Kirk still has the problem of sounding a little too old, while David has a voice of youth with flexibility.
My favorite voice actor for Shadow is Keanu Reeves.
I like Jason griffin I think he does a better job voicing shadow Don’t you agree
i came to this video because i was watching the black jack dub and joked like ha he sounds like shadow the hedgehog. wait. WAIT
