>Imagine that the bullet Maria took hadn’t been fatal after all. The soldier had been aiming at Shadow, and missed. After Shadow had been sent down to earth in the capsule, her wounds were quickly tended to, and she was brought back to earth with the other survivors. Since she was only a child, and had nothing to do with Gerald’s research, she was brought to a foster home to be taken care of, and later adopted.
50 years later, Shadow finds out that she is alive and well. He is angry that he hadn’t been told at first, but soon calms down before getting her current address, and going to see her. When he gets to her home, he sees her outside, gardening. But by now, she is 62, with a husband and grandchildren. Shadow doesn’t think it’s her for a moment, before she looks up and sees him. She is shocked at first, but then smiles, tearing up and greeting him happily. Shadow realizes it IS her, and can’t help but tear up as well, overjoyed that his best friend was still here.
Mason Lopez
What a faggot ass theme op
Zachary Ortiz
Korps, is that you?
Owen White
/sthg/ tell me what is your fetish
Gavin Gonzalez
>Crawling in my skin
Easton Harris
Maybe.
Caleb Russell
Except without a cure, she'd probably be dead within a year back on Earth.
Benjamin Green
I don't like the idea. I feel like it's trying to rewrite the universe so that nothing bad ever happens or happened. Life isn't perfect.
Parker James
Straight Human sex in missionary position after marriage solely for procreation
Kevin Roberts
going fast
Jonathan Campbell
That's a bit boring innit, especially for Shadow. Give her amnesia so she doesn't remember him
Benjamin Lewis
>It's no use But that's not Silver, what a rip off
Xavier Ward
Dont take my images
Bentley Johnson
Unshaven
Jack Gutierrez
Loli
Mason Williams
Same here. Let people have their tragedies. In fact I kind of don't like how the games all have to end nowadays with everything turning out ok and peachy in the end. I want some long term consequences. Even if it's something minor like Tails not trusting Sonic as much after Lost World. Just make it so there's a point
David Anderson
What would Maria look like in Unleashed style? Or is she already cartoony looking enough?
Not gonna lie, I would enjoy this if pulled off well. Though the adoption aspect brings to mind questions. Does G.U.N seize Gerald's assets, or does Maria inherent them legally so long as she keeps her mouth shut?
user, we've discussed this. Cybernetics. Just scoop her brain out and put it in a prosthetic body Ghost in the Shell style.
Charles Carter
Man, I thought you were going down the Alzehimer's route, like Carter in Captain America.
Without it there's nothing gained by bringing her back, and even with it, it seems to serve no purpose.
Samuel Watson
Leglock-induced creampie
Ayden Miller
Why do you want Maria to be alive so much user she had no character and she wasn't even as cute in game as that drawing you posted. Keep her dead for Shadow like Batman's parents or Uncle Ben.
>I think that user's dream about switching between 2D and 3D at will like Super Paper Mario was actually a good idea. Sonic's never done it before. Is Sonic Generations or Sonic Lost World considered of having a similar switching mechanic to Super Paper Mario?
Thomas Ramirez
That's pretty hot
Nathan Fisher
>Keep her dead for Shadow like Batman's parents or Uncle Ben >Uncle Ben Yeah, about that....
Ryder Wright
/sthg/ what's your favouriite sonic ost
Cooper Morales
...
Tyler Hill
For fucks sake
Leo Hernandez
Sonic 1 of course
Michael Roberts
I think the way to do it is to either make Maria a conflict generating supporting character(she tries to do good, but fucks up and makes things worse), or have her for whatever reason join the Egg Army and make her an anti-villain.
In any case, if you bring Maria back, you have to utterly DESTROY the perfect angel image Shadow has of her. Make her flawed, and make it clear that Shadow's rose-tinted glasses are on too tight.
Logan Perry
Zero gravity and Unleashed
Dylan Brown
Either SA1 or Black Knight CAN TASTE THE DAY SAVOR NIGHT
user it's different this time. This time it's a CLONE. OOOOH SO ORIGINAL I feel really bad for Spidey fans.
Benjamin Myers
>I feel really bad for Spidey fans I've been telling my friends that Spider-Man is the superhero equivalent of Sonic the Hedgehog and they immediately understand
Lincoln Gray
This. Unleashed's nighttime stages give me an eargasm. Too bad it plays like ass though
Dominic Perry
I wish to see more of it.
Jose Perez
I'll keep it /sthg/ related; well-dressed women, sweet loving personalities, etc.
thus, tikal and vanilla are my favorite sonic girls
Leo Martin
At least you guys are getting Renew your Vows, right? Maybe Slott will leave some day, right? I love the nighttime tracks. Too bad they're interrupted by the battle theme every 2 seconds
John Davis
SA2, though it was my first Sonic game so I might be nostalgia-ing over here.
I was one of the people against the idea just a couple posts ago, but if it did happen, I'd totally vote for this. Only problem is ShtH's ending makes it pretty clear he no longer "cares" (for lack of a better word) about Maria, so, retcon ShtH?
Easton Bennett
Maybe that's why Spider-Man is my fave Superhero
Asher Cook
>so, retcon ShtH? Go right the fuck ahead. Nothing of value would be lost by doing that
Owen Moore
Vanilla is a great choice
Jacob Wood
Spider-Man sure does love clones
Aaron Nelson
When you put it that way, maybe I should watch some Spiderman movies. Where's a good place to start? I'm a superhero pleb.
Adrian Sullivan
More like Marvel loves rehashing shit. Enjoy IvX followed by IvXvA. At least Sonic fucking fights villains Raimi movies. Just watch those. They're even cornier than the Adventure games, but they're a lot of fun. Why is this image so funny?
Luis Hughes
>I was one of the people against the idea just a couple posts ago, but if it did happen, I'd totally vote for this. Only problem is ShtH's ending makes it pretty clear he no longer "cares" (for lack of a better word) about Maria, so, retcon ShtH? What happened is that he moved on. He still cares for Maria, but he's gotten out of his angst phase.
He'd certainly be overjoyed to see her alive again. ... That is, until she starts making plans to make everyone in the world happy like she wanted, and it turns out her cousin has the right idea of how to do it. Because his attempts to take over the world are surely to instill peace and order in the world... right?
Hudson Reyes
I don't read the comics at all I just consume alternate media for comic characters like Cartoons Movies and Video Games. The best cartoon for Spider-Man is Spetacular
Josiah Price
Think about it: He had a fairly good start despite doubts of his success, became more popular than his competitors for a while, then had one bad slip up and never properly recovered for another decade or so.
I still liked both of the Amazing films, though.
Joshua Young
Too bad all the porn overly sexualizes her.
Her victorian dress is way nicer.
Caleb Thomas
this is the best Marvel Cartoon ever made fuck Ultimate Spiderman
Joshua Flores
Porn is all she's ever relevant in now anyway
Hunter Ross
Man it's a good thing Disney bought the rights to Spiderman so we will never get a cartoon like this again
Aiden Hernandez
Ultimate Spiderman was good though.
Aaron Ward
Yeah the Ultimate cartoon was a downgrade. We went from Josh Keaton to Drake Bell as Peter.
I bet you can't tell the difference from the Sonic voice actors either.
Adam Lee
Yes, I can.
Liam Foster
Those are pretty distinctive
Leo Clark
Not him, but yes. At least before I couldn't tell the difference between Drummond and pre-Unleashed Griffin's voices.
Luke Ross
Reminder that Sonic works the best aesthetically when the characters are cartoony and simple, but vibrant. I don't like the Sally redesign in this pic at all though.
Can't pick a favorite but right now I've been listening to a lot of Heroes' soundtrack. Knuckles Chaotix is also a really good one.
Ethan James
Josh Keaton and Drake Bell are "pretty distinctive" also, but user can't tell the difference somehow
Tyler Perry
I want her to go fast again
Caleb Turner
The only reason I know Drummond is because he looks like a math teacher I had back in high school
Caleb Hughes
Ryona as long as it doesn't lead to blood-shed/getting deadly.
I hate that I can't get legitimate crossover art of these two because of the combined autism of their respective fanbases.
Nathan Ramirez
>Sonic Girls >Animated James I knew this art style looks familiar. What's happening with him anyway? I've heard he shut down his tumblr blog when someone found out who've been drawing this shit. Does he still these in secret?
Kevin Ortiz
It'd be an improvement.
Nicholas Young
user, tell me one way giving Modern Sonic Boom Sonic's personality wouldn't be a major improvement. It still has Sonic's compassion, but he isn't a goddamn saint. He also still has that devil may care attitude and snark that's associated with Sonic, but unlike with Modern Sonic, it's actually endearing and funny
Henry White
He has depression after breaking up with his hottopic underage bitch, and will hopefully disappear from existence
Landon Perez
Fast
Jason Collins
He's become open about it, has a fart fetish DA
Ian Nguyen
Day 2. Noisy!
Easton Flores
Now I can tell the difference, but I like Drake Bell's Spidey more. His voice sounds similar to Keaton's, but he can pull off a lot more emotional range. He's the Mike Pollock of Spider-Man.
Nicholas Russell
Overwatch is AAA and had a huge marketing push, so it doesn't really count.
I'm talking about games like Shovel Knight and FNAF, where they more or less came out of nowhere and hit it big. Nearly every indie game this year fell on its face (MN9, NMS) or just fizzled out a shortly after launch (HLD, Furi).
The only remaining candidates are Gunvolt 2 and HGH, and they probably won't fare much better than their predecessors (yes I know GV2 just came out).
Brayden Long
Looks like he belongs in one of those anime's where all the guys aren't gay but may as well be
Kayden Ward
Oh, I get it now. Then the closest thing to that is that Mystic Messenger thing
