I understand this might be a bit redundant, are we certain Shadow the Hedgehog: Dark Beginnings is based on the Shadow the Hedgehog game, &/or that the protagonist is the real Shadow, though?During the final boss in Shadow the Hedgehog, Eggman explicitly confirms to Shadow that he is the real Shadow. He was just in a coma for awhile after he fell from space back down to Earth.
The Shadow Android plot point in Heroes was practically dropped after that game.
For what it's worth, an android Shadow might not sleep in a field, I guess.
In theory, maybe it had to reboot from falling from space or a power-down for maintenance or such. Not unheard of for fictional robots to have an equivalent to sleep.
But why would a genuine ultimate lifeform who isn't an android get technology-like video glitches in his visions from a biological space alien?
I just find it an odd detail, & the only explanation I've been told so far in this thread is "Nightmare weirdness".
Perhaps more episodes will make it clearer, but I wonder if there aren't other ways to tell apart Shadow & his Android counterparts again. If they're revisiting his backstory, might be neat to bring that up again.
