Shadow Original Character question

Post by Alpha Dog 1996 »

I have noticed that in a lot of fan stuff, whenever they mention an "original character - do not steal", they incorporate Shadow the Hedgehog somehow. Is that just irony or is there reason behind that?

That is where I saw one of them. The other was the Let Me Smash a #Badnik video when Sonic was talking about Sticks being an original character he was holding an image of Shadow

He meant the line was taken from that webcomic. It's more of a reference to the several fan-made characters, which are mostly recolours of Sonic/other characters. Even so, the "creators" refer to them as original characters. :)

Oh so it pretty much started with that webcomic?

Cause let's face it... Shadow isn't the most original looking character Sonic Team have come up with. :P

I think that's the joke lol. Remember that Shadow and Sonic would always talk about one of them being a faker. :P

Yeah, I think it's a bit of both (reading my post again I see I failed to mention this).

So pretty much the original character thing is just a joke and doesn't really hold any significance other than in the webcomic?

Yeah that's a pretty old joke. Like the others pointed out tho, it started from that webcomic and you see people using it here and there. Nothing else to it. Has nothing to do with sonic and shadow calling each other faker either. Just a fun little joke haha and also the over saturation of Sonic fan made characters.

Isn't there another joke about this stuff? Where you go on google images and write your first name followed by "The Hedgehog" and start cringing.
