Therefore, a Shadow spinoff was set up quite nicely bySonic 3.

The show pairs Knuckles with Wade to drive the narrative forward.

In the video games, Shadow was created by Gerald Robotnik, which is whySonic 3features them working together.

However, Gerald seemingly dies at the end ofSonic 3along with his grandson, Ivo.

Therefore,pairing Shadow with any of the other human characters for a spinoff show would feel forced.

Since a television show would have to have a smaller budget, the Shadow spinoff should be a movie.

Furthermore,Keanu Reeves headlining a Shadow movie would create a lot more buzz than a TV show.

Sonic 3did not reveal where in space Shadow came from, so a Shadow movie could answer this question.
