#or maybe the murals spoke of a legendary protector and the humans thought they would need to create it themselves

If the next movie plans to tackle SA2′s story, I want it to answer one of the game’s biggest questions, why does Shadow look so much like Sonic, despite having been created first? 

The games offer no real explanation. However, there’s this popular fan theory that Gerald based Shadow off this mural in Angel Island, which depicts Super Sonic’s battle with Eggman.  

Given how in the movies, multiple Owl Tribe temples exist on Earth, and we still don’t know exactly what Sonic is and where his powers came from...it’s entirely possible that Sonic’s existence was foretold by the tribe, and records of this prophecy were found by humans and used as a blueprint to create the ultimate lifeform, Project Shadow. 

Doing this would not only fix a major issue of the source material, but it would also allow us to explore Movie!Sonic’s origins, an aspect that, two movies in, still remains shrouded in mystery.

#maybe the humans misinterpreted the murals and thought Sonic's existence was meant to cause disaster #so they create Shadow to counter this apocalyptic event #or maybe the murals spoke of a legendary protector and the humans thought they would need to create it themselves #there's so much potential here don't you see it?? #sonic 2 spoilers #sonic movie #sonic 2 #shadow the hedgehog #sonic movie analysis #sonic movie spoilers
