Sonic the Hedgehog/Heartwarming: Difference between revisions

* A lot of people seem to think it's [[Narm]], but Maria's speech in ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]'' is heartbreaking and heartwarming all at once. She's been shot, and is dying, but says to Shadow, "I beg of you. For all the people on that planet... give them a chance to be happy!" The Shadow the Hedgehog version, which has improved characterization, voice acting, and even context, is even better. In Adventure 2, Maria is an innocent little girl with no personality whose innocence motivated Gerald and Shadow to do horrible things. In Shadow the Hedgehog, she's a hero in her own right, trying to save other people despite being ''terminally ill'' and occasionally still laughing at things like a child would, even during a disaster, making her sacrifice seem a lot more human and a lot more poignant.

** Don't forget the ending to the Last Story in ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog]]''. When everybody in GUN HQ is celebrating, and the realization that Professor Gerald, and the project that created Shadow, had been misunderstood. "We were all wrong about the professor. After the way we all treated him, he saved us all in the end."

*** Another moment is in the final battle, after you spend about seven minutes in the battle.

{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Dr. Eggman:''' Shadow, can you hear me? This may be the last chance I get to speak to you, so... What I said about having created you? It was all a lie. Everyone thought you had died during [[Sonic Adventure 2|that horrible incident]]. But I rescued you with one of my robots! You lost your memory, that's all. You really ARE the [[Ultimate Lifeform]] my grandfather created!}}}}

{{quote|'''Rouge:''' Even if you believe that the whole world will be against you... know that I'll always remain by your side. Remember that.

'''Shadow:''' ...I will. }}

** Despite the hate it receives, the cinematic scenes with Sonic and Princess Elise are actually quite sweet, especially when she bandages Sonic's arm after it was hurt, and when the two stop by a lake. ({{spoiler|Save for "[[Interspecies Romance|the kiss of life]]," but even still DESPITE its hideous appearance, it DID bring Sonic back to life so that he could help save time and everyone else with it.}})

** Any scene with Silver and Blaze also fits here in this troper, and it even established a shipper to boot. {{spoiler|Not to mention Blaze's [[Heroic Sacrifice|sacrifice]] at Silver's story mode ending is a surefire [[Tear Jerker]].}}
