#ofc there’s Maria but also forever complicating his relationship with technology

Connected to prev post:

This is also another contrast between Sonic and Shadow as characters.

Shadow’s formative experiences with technology and industry pertained to preserving life, specifically Maria’s, and purportedly the betterment of mankind; it was later, when GUN raided the ARK, that he learned how technology can be wielded as a weapon.

Sonic’s just the reverse; Eggman’s industrialization stole his friends and destroyed the biome’s he called home. It wasn’t until he met Tails that he saw how tech might be used for good.
