Remember back three years ago when we were all waiting for DotD to come out? Remember how we were going crazy about what Malefor would look like? Everyone was going crazy to find out what he looked like. It is hilarious now that you think about it. smilie He doesn't look a thing like what everyone wanted him to look like, it's funny. I just thought I might say this.

Yes. We were all waiting to see how Malefor would look, act, and sound like.

We found out that he looked like a mess, acted like a dumbass, and sounded absolutely terrible due to studio editing.

He should have acted more young. He acted to old. (Well, he is more than 10 generations old.) He didn't really have a personality.

I thought Spyro and Cynder would be bigger. They'll still tiny. Spyro seems as small as his 'classic form'. Or maybe he is a little bigger.
And yeah, I thought Malefor would look more evil-looking. And his death...was just pathetic.

#12 Posted: 07:17:35 16/06/2011 | Topic Creator
They should have had Cynder kill Malefor. Like Malefor's about to kill Spyro when Cynder get's her evil powers back and kills him. That would be epic!

As for the size difference, some think that if they were in the real world, Malefor would be like 120 feet tall and Spyro would be 30 feet tall. That's actually really big. I'd hate to run across Malefor. O.O

Is it just me, or am I the only person who thinks that Spyro and Cynder shrunk. O.O In ANB/TEN, Spyro and Cynder were half the size of the guardians. Now they're a 1/5 the size of them? You'd think the guardians wouldn't have grown much since their old.

ANB/TEN was more cartoony, so the art style meant smaller bodies but bigger heads. DotD was the other way around.

Malefor disappointed me entirely, I didn't even know he was a dragon until dotd, I thought he was a crazy wizard or something. Which in retrospect would be a whole lot more interesting. Of course there are no people in the game.

He looked exactly the way I thought he would: like the art from TEN and the statue in the Temple in ANB. Only he looked considerably less cool and interesting and was a generally huge disappointment and pathetic excuse for a villain.

in my honest opinion Malefor looked amazingly evil to me when I played TEN but when I got to what he really was he became one of the most dissapointing antogonists I ever seen. he had potential to be a great villain but they obviously made trash out of that.

i dont know why but when i first saw malefor i started crackin up and thought to myself,"This is the dude that could destroy the world and turn cynder evil?????!!!!!"

i mean come on, the least they could do was make him look more badass and make him stronger.

Yep, Aura's got the right of it. Insomniac was contracted by Universal to make them a game. Universal hired a non-Insomniac artist to design the characters, and they all teamed up to make a game. After the three-game contract deal was up, Universal didn't renew with Insomniac and passed the game on to other developers. They're still doing that to this day under the Activision label.

Fanboys aren't known for always doing their research. Part of the problem is often that they're willing to believe whatever it takes to prove their point and aren't really interested in doing any research to make sure. It cracks me up when people whine that Spyro should be taken away from Activision since it's essentially what gave us all of Spyro. smilie

X3 Most of those fanboys are Activision-haters, but they fail to see that Universal Interactive, the one who gave them Spyro, is part of Activision now.

I do know that, I never said that Insomniac owned the rights to Spyro did I?

READ my comment properly, I said 'IF' Insomniac still had any rights, it doesn't mean to say that they had any rights in the first place, maybe I word it incorrectly, now I feel offended, I am indeed not a fanboy, and I hardly ever complain like I used to about it, and I am not a hatist to any of the other Spyro games, but I don't really like them either, seriously though is there really anything wrong in saying that 'I can imagine Insomniac doing that if they continued making Spyro games?' Do I really deserve this kind of feedback?!

Do you ever see me whinning about later Spyro games recently? No.
I have done a lot of research on Spyro, and I worded it incorrectly, I don't see a problem with just generally saying that I could imagine Insomniac doing something like that.
Thank you for hurting my feelings in calling me a fanboy, you don't know how much that hurt, I do try not to be like that most of the time, and this is a response I would never expect from a user like yourself.

What part of I don't believe you don't you understand? And you say I get personal over things? You can talk. You always seem to get annoyed when someone posts an opinion that's different to yours about Skylanders, and you seem to get all upset with them, you really have no feelings for anybody else it seems, I really don't see your point of view.

Don't tell me what to do, you are in no position to tell me what to do. It definately seemed like it was directed at me at the time, specifically after you posted after me, after posting that I really don't know anything about Spyro and you assumed that I don't know that Spyro has been passed on from Insomniac, it was obvious that is what set it off. Such a dictator.

And you're just having another 'different-personality' moment again. Always happens whenever you're in a bad mood, lashing out at other users around you.

And I never assumed anything about you just now, you're really in a bad mood if you think that I purposely assumed that you are one of the fans who don't know Spyro.

I am definately in a bad mood now that I've been offended, of course I would be, and I'm not exactly lashing out on any body really, you're just continuing to talk to me. I'm just telling you how I feel, while you do not give a care in the world, and just decide to annoy me all the more. Which is what you like to do to me on any other occasion.

Telling me how you feel by lashing out at me and getting all snappy as well? Yeah, that's 'a very calm' way to take your anger out on someone when you're in a bad mood.

I don't like to annoy you, I wasn't trying to annoy you. You're just taking my responses the wrong way as if they were only intentionally posted to aggravate you, when I'm really trying to tell you to calm down over something you misread.

Oh, I actually really didn't know you were aiming that to them, it just felt that everything was aimed at me and I was within this mixture of fans because it all came after I specifically posted about Insomniac and Spyro, I guess I should be sorry but then again I did not understand, that was a strange experience, I was actually really hurt because I try so hard to keep myself away from all that. I refused to trust what Aura24 was saying to me, because she was not the one who typed it up. It's so confusing on here sometimes.
