So you just double posted. Anywho, I'll begin by saying that Shadow is indeed comparable to Knuckles. They're both characters in the same series, so of course they can be compared, just like any other characters.

Shadow has his own game because he is a better character than Knuckles and attracted a lot more attention from fans than Knuckles ever did. It could be argued that he is on the same level as Sonic, in terms of popularity.

You negate your own point that Knuckles has been badly flanderized when you say that everyone has been flanderized in Boom. Why should Knuckles be the exception?

The original Knuckles was pretty much the reclusive knucklehead, so if he were to stay true to his character, he wouldn't be in many stories. Shadow is an antagonist, so writing him into stories is obviously much easier without him departing from his character.

What I'm not getting is why this is your boiling point. Why now, when Knuckle's character has been pretty much getting the same treatment for years now.

Boom is a different interpretation. Characters have been altered. Knuckles is not and should not be any different. Deal with it.
