I understand what you're saying, but to me, Shadow is a representative of darkness (just as Sonic is with the wind and Knuckles is with the earth), therefore, he NEEDS a darker personality and a darker voice. I can understand caring for his friends and being proud of his abilities, but he shouldn't sound like he's trying to act tough, and act like Sonic's "an insult to all hedgehog-kind (espically when he ain't 100% hedgehog HIMSELF), he should sound and act like he did in the 4Kids era. My reasoning is that he's (chronologically) older than Sonic, so he should ACT and SOUND the part too (my reasoning comes from the creation of the movie Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, in which one of the workers said that Cloud Strife's and Vincent Valentine's voices were purposefully made to contrast to one another to show that Vincent is more mature than Cloud, so the same MUST be applied to Sonic and Shadow). Normally I wouldn't get this riled up, but when you talk about trying to "lighten up" my #1 favorite character, I take it as an insult, both to me and to Shadow's roots.

And yes, Shadow DIRECTLY kills in his self-titled video game with GUNS and KNIVES, whereas Sonic pretty much hits them with a homing attack.
