Reception

Reactions to Thornton's performance as Shadow were generally mixed. While some fans have praised his performance for keeping Shadow's dark personality and sounding like his Kingdom Hearts character Saïx (though his tone seems more similar to Kisame Hoshigaki from Naruto in terms of an "older" and "sinister" type of voice but appears to be less rough and smooth, which is another one of Thornton's roles), others have criticized it for sounding "too old". However, Thornton's voice of Orbot was more positively received. However some of the more negative fans of his Shadow voice have noted his improvement in Sonic Forces.^{[citation needed]}
