Hi, Vee! Did you see the trailer for the Shadow The Hedgehog Dark Beginnings 3 episode animation? 👀

I DID LOL i was just about to make a post about it actually like the poster alone had me shocked when it was revealed like

EMERL???????? IN THE YEAR 2024???????

LOOK ITS TEAM DARK!!!!!!!!!

THE ROCKET FROM SA2????? THATS GERALD POSED AS HE WAS IN HIS FINAL MESSAGE DAMNING HUMANITY??????????

MARIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

and then the trailer itself lmao i was in shambles in the middle of the king records panel pls watch some peak y’all lmao

besides the heart wrenching moment with maria, something i particularly liked about the trailer was the way shadow and emerl were being framed as enemies of a similar ilk like

shadow with his red energy??? kinda unnatural glowing quills???? emerl with a very familiar rich blue glow to his robotic eyes???? emerl’s way of fighting mirroring shadow’s in those last few frames????

like it’s riffing a bit off of shadow and sonic’s rivalry while highlighting their manufactured origins, the lab with all the energy (chaos energy maybe??), AND I LOVE TO SEE IT LOL
