ITT: Characters that should have stayed dead but were revived for fanservice

Which is referring to Shadow himself dipshit, stop arguing in favor of blatant retcons.

His games are better than X's so I'm glad he's alive for seemingly no reason

>Blatant retcon
Nigger you don't know what you are talking about. Shadow didn't die. He was found by Eggman after his fall and Eggman put him inside a pod where he recovered. Thus began his story in Sonic Heroes
