Black Doom

Yall go and get in the comments and make as many memes out of this photo as you can. Here's some of mine:

Candyman’s actor, Tony Todd would be perfect to play as Black Doom in Shadow The Hedgehog Movie but sadly, the actor passed away on November 2024. After hearing Black Doom’s new voice in Shadow Generations, it reminded me that it sounded like Venom from Spider-Man 2 or Zoom from Flash. Who do you think might play as Black Doom if there was ever a Shadow The Hedgehog movie? Who can do a deep voice like Candyman/Venom’s actor?

I heard about a theory from someone (I don’t know who) that the Gerald Robotnik in the movie is not the real Gerald. But instead was Black Doom in disguise.

But what happened to the real Gerald Robotnik? I think I know the answer

I think the person in this concept art is the real Gerald Robotnik

Sonic X Shadow Generations was quite possibly my GOTY for 2024, but there is one problem. Why would Black Doom:

1. Draw Shadow back into the location of his darkest moment (Radical Highway)

2. Unlock powers hidden in Shadow's Black Arms DNA hoping to complete his body as a perfect vessel for his conquest (and thus buffing the same hedgehog who killed him before)

3. Consistently torment Shadow over the course of several stages

4. At the end of all of those preparations, expect Shadow NOT to rebel against him using the powers he was given

Doom literally handed Shadow's victory to him.

Spoiler alert for Sonic 3….

Despite the different origin of Shadow of coming from a meteor instead of being made in a lab. Maybe a way to tie-in to Black Doom like he being one responsible for sending Shadow to Earth for evil purposes in first place but Maria's kindness made him forget it?

And maybe after a few films are made we have Black Doom appear as the main antagonist of the film? And who you think would be a good fit to voice him too?

So the idea is Black Doom Fuses Eclipse with the Dark Arms and "perfects" him with the same "darkness" that gave Shadow his doom power. It gives Eclipse all the Dark Arm powers and makes him stronger, faster, and heightens all his senses.

I finished the outline for the story, and I'm working on issue 1 of the 4 part one-shot. I'm going to show u guys the main art I for the first issue soon and start the ball rolling on getting this to be a collab project.

Hi, first time posting art on here, and ofc it's some weird body horror shtick... Anyway, this is one of my worst works tbh, but I still hope you like my take on a SXSG bad ending.

@BurgerGuyForever sorry for turning your senapi into some sort of weird eldritch symbiote 🙏

Saw this posted on Reddit:

Doom has no legs to stand on, and unlike Mephiles, nothing they could use to make a standing base.

So, Shadow recognised Black Doom (calling out "You!" Upon seeing Doom's Eye), but he didn't remember beating him. Gerald also goes on to say that "you must beat him at some point in the future." What does that mean? Is the "true ending" of Shadow the hedgehog set after Generations, while everything else in the game isn't? That doesn't make any sense.

So, yesterday I went on rambling about what opportunities Shadow Generations had missed, among them the potential to flash out not just Shadow, but the rest of the Black Arms, since their origin and the reason for their creation in-universe still remain vague. I wondered why Black Doom would create an entire race just to have them eat another race if he doesn't seem to care for them all that much, and why he hates humanity to the point where he plotted to enslave them for at least 2000 years...

And then it hit me. What if Black Doom isn't exactly an alien? What if he comes from Earth? I've seen a theory that Black Doom himself is a heavily mutated Ancient, and you know, that kind of lines up with what I'm thinking. Imagine, an Ancient who is entrusted to watch over the Chaos Emeralds somehow makes contact with the world beyond Starfall Islands and what would become Angel Island, witnesses life forms native to Earth, and how they destroy each other and themselves out of greed and envy. We never saw an Ancient act this way, so it's possible that such behaviour is extremely rare among them. And it's possible that the Ancient who would become Black Doom would be considered a freak by Earthlings and persecuted. So what would the guy do? With all these factors combined, it's very likely he'd become misanthropic, seeing humans and Mobians as nothing but warmongers who deserve to suffer like they made others suffer. Some Emerald-involved accident happens which twists Black Doom's body (like the other Ancients were mutated into Chao), gives him magic powers, he creates a semi-organic comet, makes it orbit around the Earth's sun, and creates an entirely new species from his DNA, makes them part of a cult involving the Chaos Emeralds which he eventually somehow loses hold of and thus needs Gerald and Shadow to rediscover - all for the sake of punishing the people of Earth he's grown to hate so much. Granted, Black Doom's own actions would make his hatred of humans extremely hypocritical, but at least this would explain why he hates them, why he created the Black Arms and where he came from himself.

Still, two issues remain: in his debut game, Black Doom seems to be unfamiliar with the concepts of either cyberspace or lightning, even though an Ancient should be aware of both, but perhaps spending millenia in space left him with some gaps in memory. Heck, maybe he doesn't even remember who he used to be before he became Black Doom.

So, does this sound legit, or is this all nonsense?
