Thoughts on the project shadow mural theory? What other Sonic theories should we look at?

Imagine having your cousin and grandfather killed by your Government. I can see how Eggman became such an anarchist. Honestly it makes sense that he thinks he can rule the world better.  And why some iterations have him build theme parks as his utopia. He's off his rocker, but deep down it comes from a misunderstood place.

I'm glad that SEGA is starting to care about Sonic's continunity, because now stuff like this is possible, and it's just as cool as the games themselves.

Some of Biolizards roars sounding like Perfect Chaos’ is another thing that supports Biolizard being based off of Perfect Chaos

“I think i’ve discovered what the ultimate life form is… it might be you!”

So what you’re saying is…
The mural was…
ForeSHADOWing?

Man, I really wish Sonic Team wasn't so afraid to make another deep lore Sonic game since the 2006 dissaster.

I’m partially curious whom Gerald got the hedgehog DNA from. I’m half expecting it being an ancestor of Sonic’s.

Sonic: you see now thats what I called Foreshadowing.

Get it.

I think Gerald might've interpreted the mural as himself creating Shadow using a chaos emerald.

Original creator of the mural fan theory here. It's hardly the only thing that I've done over the past 25 years that became canon.
Used to make sprite comics alongside Tyson Hesse back in 2001, too. I spent a lot of time analyzing and editing sprites back then.

I have a feeling that this theory was the actual intent of the original Sonic Team who worked on the original Genesis games up to SA2

Having Shadow's timeline laid out like this makes things make a lot more sense, like how Shadow could forget about Maria's promise after being launched to Earth. The answer? Gerald did work on him after Maria died.

My favorite part of mural theory is that there's a chance he based the Ark on depictions of the Death Egg present on Angel Island, and Eggman for sure based the Death Egg on the Ark. Its a self-contained loop of inspiration in history.

All of this lore is actually addictive to watch, after watching this I kept binge watching shadow the hedgehog lores. 🤓

Corny, but back in the day I wanted to do a Sonic fan comic, one story would be Gerald hiring Fang's father/grand father to lead him to Angel Island where they would encounter Knuckles predecessor who I had named "Brass" (keeping with corny Sega naming). It would end some what in tragedy and explain to an extent why Knuckles was alone all his life.

Sonic Theories might make for a fun mini series.

I thought the mural was just supposed to represent some sort of prophecy about a super hedgehog battling a mustache thief trying to steal the master emerald.

Man, Shadow's backstory is DARK...........just like him, but darker. 😂

So if Gerald was in Angel Island 50 years ago, who was guarding the Master Emerald? Knuckles wasn't born yet, he's just 18 or something, Knuckles doesn't know about his ancestor, he never talked about his upbringings so it's safe to assume he doesn't know who his parents are, if Perfect Chaos wiped out the entire civilization, then it must've been a relatively recent event prior to those 50 years or so
