The thing that bugs me about the many conflicts of interest that happen between sonic and shadow is that no one in the fandom seems to consider that the fact sonic was wrong doesn't mean shadow was right
This is such a good point. Say it louder for the people in the back!
Sonic and Shadow fundamentally butt heads because of how they both view their responsibilities to protect the world.
The most pointed example of this for me is the inciting incident in Sonic Prime. I’ve already said a while back that I think Shadow is equally to blame for shattering the crystal because he was the one who prevented Sonic from doing what he had to do. I got some pushback saying that Sonic was the instigator of Shadow’s aggression, but I have a hard time believing that when Shadow literally greeted Sonic with a punch. Yes, Sonic still made a lot of mistakes that I acknowledged in my original post, but Shadow immediately set the tone for that encounter and it was NOT positive. My point in bringing this up again is to say that they both fucked up, but Shadow, the show itself, and much of the viewers blame exclusively Sonic because Shadow somehow stole the moral highground.
More nuanced, however, is the discussion around Sonic’s moral code as presented in the IDW comics (which are canon to the mainline series, btw, if anyone didn’t know. They are the same picture).
In issue 7, Sonic and Shadow argue over whether Eggman should live freely as Mr. Tinker. Shadow states that Eggman deserves to pay for all the pain he’s put Sonic through (among the other harm he’s caused). While Sonic agrees, he hinges on the fact that Eggman isn’t around anymore. Sonic doesn’t want to punish Mr. Tinker because he doesn’t want to be an arbiter of justice.
Yes, Sonic was “wrong,” but was Shadow really right in this case? Everyone in-universe gets upset with Sonic for not knowing something he reasonably had no way of knowing (literally who tf would have predicted Starline? lol) but what they’re really upset with is the fact that Sonic didn’t mitigate the risk.
I really feel like you can’t ascribe moral boundaries to these things. One isn’t good while the other is bad and vice versa. It’s all shades of gray.

Sonic AU Idea
Y’all remember the Metal Virus in IDW? Of course you do what am I talking about
Well lots of people were all “oh imagine the angst if sonic got fully corrupted!”
Has anyone considered the idea of a Zombot Sonic… not attacking innocents? And I don’t mean in the “oh but there’s still good in him 🥺” way. He’ll still attack anyone in his way, but imagine that unlike other Zombots, Sonic isn’t aiming for infection of just anyone.
No, imagine a Zombot Sonic whose biggest target is Dr. Eggman himself.
Let’s say this happens during Sunset City’s invasion. Sonic becomes completely corrupted much to his friends’ horror and yet- instead of attacking the survivors, he runs off. (Unlike Shadow, Sonic’s speed isn’t enabled by his shoes. His speed is a physical aspect, and it’s established than any physics capabilities of victims are carried over to Zombot form.)
I like to imagine this takes place when Shadow arrives. The change here is that Sonic picks up that Shadow isn’t taking his warnings seriously and—instead of running like intended—spins around to try and impress upon him the severity. Sonic argues, exhaustion and frustration clouding his mind. But Shadow still won’t listen.
Shadow turned back to the imminent threat, ignoring the garbled frustrations of his rival.
He heard Sonic growl, his voice talking on an electric warble. “Why won’t you just listen to m-“
Silence. Then, a gasp and screams from the survivors. Shadow glanced over his shoulder… and his eyes widened in surprise.
“He’s one of them!”
“He failed! Sonic’s failed!”
“I-If Sonic couldn’t fight ‘em, what hope do we have?”
“Who’s gonna save us!”
“We’re all gonna die!”
“Everyone! Please calm down and get inside the truck!” Rouge yelled from somewhere within.
But Shadow could only stare. Sonic had become a Zombot and gazed at the other hedgehog with a coldness he’d never seen grace the hero’s face.
The situation just got much, much worse.
Shadow readied his battle stance.
Yet- Yet Sonic didn’t move. Not at first. He snarled but, instead of leaping at Shadow, he turned his head toward the west… and took off.
Shadow continues fighting, this time being far more cautious, and helps the transport truck escape. Shadow is then the one tasked with stopping Sonic, as the only one who can match his speed. (Since Sonic is high level threat, it’s doesn’t take much to convince). Using Sonic’s communicator, they’re able to track his coordinates, but there’s no rhyme or reason to his path… at first.
“Its almost like he’s… searching for something.” Tails pondered.
Shadow gets there and Eggman tries placing the agent between himself and Sonic. Sonic charges at Shadow… but then completely runs around him and at the doctor. Shadow tried fighting, but quickly realizes that Sonic’s ignoring him in favor of trying to infect Eggman.
See, Sonic has been fighting Eggman practically his whole life—it’s second nature at this point—and, let’s be honest, Sonic was wracking up quite the anger directed at the doctor. Because this is fanfiction, let’s say that this instinct somewhat influences Zombot Sonic.
Zombot Sonic is the biggest threat at this point. Not just because of his physical prowess, but also because his version of the virus is so mutated, it infects at a higher rate than its sister-mutation. The one solace that Sonic’s friends have?
That Zombot Sonic’s sole target is Eggman.
On one hand, no one would feel any pity for Eggman to fall at the hands of his own virus. On the other hand… If Eggman’s infected, who would Zombot Sonic target next?
So it kinda becomes into this weird thing of both keeping Eggman uninfected while also using him as bait.
I think the idea of Zombot Sonic being able to track down Eggman could be potentially terrifying. Constantly on the move. Nothing stopping him. No matter where Eggman runs, no matter where Eggman hides; Zombot Sonic can and will find him.
Zombie Terminator Sonic.

KYLE CROUSE: Alright, we got a question from Sameth Starr! "How would Shadow the Hedgehog fare if his air shoes suddenly turned into fully functioning air-stilettos mid combat? I want to know if a shoe swapping beam would be worth investing in."
youtube
IAN FLYNN: Oh, he'd immediately acclimate to it and probably add a bit of stomping to the routine, which would open up a whole new facet of the internet. KYLE: [cackles] Oh, I'm sure there's plenty of people who already want Shadow to step on them. IAN: Mhm. KYLE: Mhm. Mhm. IAN: [Shadow voice] "POSTURE CONTROL!" KYLE: [laughing] Oh no! Oh, boy. Ohhh boy. This is-this is a family show! IAN: [in a voice] "How does he even walk in those things?!" [Shadow voice] "I'm the Ultimate Lifeform!" KYLE: [laughs] Oh, no, how does he walk in those things? Nobody draw that. IAN: Too late. You know it's happening. KYLE: Yeah. Yeah, I know it is. I know... [laughs] it might even be the thumbnail! Who knows? IAN: [laughs] KYLE: We'll see, won't we?
TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: It is important to note that this was the thumbnail for this episode. Amazing art by Tumblr's very own @samethstarrart!

Did a dumb IDW comic panel edit to introduce my Reconnect AU Sonic and Shadow!
Sonic has the nickname of Bullet
Bullet was kinda inspired by @son1c and @weirdozjunkary's Sonics!
and Bullet is speaking Mobi (The language of the Modians) he does understand English though! His English speaking is rusty.
Shadow can speak both Mobi and English! Along with some Britain
Sonic does know Tails and cares about him(I'll talk about him later!)
Mobi letters below the cut!

All I think about right now is how most of Shadow's rough characterization during early IDW *could* be explained by how he blames himself for the Phantom Ruby incident and I know that's probably not ever going to be brought up but I can still headcanon his actions into making a degree of sense. "I left one seemingly harmless bad guy alive and he nearly destroyed the planet, I can't let that happen ever again." "I could have stopped Eggman's world conquest if I had acted earlier. I can't put off a fight with his forces under any circumstances." "My closeness to my allies was used as a weapon against me, I have to distance myself from others for their own good." It's not perfect but I feel like it's something they could build on to explain some of that early wonkiness.
