Myself 123 wrote: I never said he didn't, though it's unlikely given how he was post Ark-attack. Having a dark and edgy character is good and all, but it's a bit of a cliche and can be a bit boring if not done right. Such characters don't always have to be emotionless with perma scowls.

I really liked Shadow when I was younger and I still do, but the act wears a little thin for me. Honestly I agree, if not done right he is boring. This is why I want Thornton replaced: he not only makes him sound too old, he makes him sound like a generic wannabe (with a sore throat/throat cancer) trying to act tough (not mention a total jerk/Vegeta knock-off), whereas Humphrey and Griffith gave him more life and made him his own character. When I see Shadow, I want him to sound appropriate for his (physical) age, naturally tough, somewhat smug (like how he did during Griffith's tenure) and emotional (someone who remembers the best of times and the worst of times). Just listen to Red Hood's voice while looking at a photo of Shadow, because to me, he's perfect as the voice of Shadow.
