Why are the dragons so popular!? [CLOSED]

The title says it all, I hate the dragon skylanders sooo much (except smilie, smilie and a little bit of :zp).

smilie Is too overpowered and provides no difficulty whatsoever.

smilie is just bizarre and weird in gameplay. He is overall really annoying to play with.

smilie Same as Bash, only with lower depth and better range.

smilie Plays too much like Trigger Happy & Drobot with a boost, ORIGINAL!! Also a little OP.

smilie Is just boring and a little weird, I don't like her much on either path.

smilie is fun to play as, but lacks strength compared to most of the others.

smilie is extremely overrated and his gameplay sucks.

The only dragons I truly enjoyed were smilie and smilie, yet they're all soo popular. WHY!?

Most of us are likely Dragon lovers, and not to mention both Spyro and Cynder are popular characters from the Spyro series before Skylanders.

My wife and i are both huge dragon lovers. As we both tend to disagree about which paths to take our dragons, Having 2 similar dragons helps out alot. For example, i took dark spyro down the flame path and she took regular spyro down the ram path.

I think the "dragons" are classic creatures that a vast majority of people really like. They're in almost all genres of movies, tv shows, etc. It's probably one of the most popular mythical creatures out there.

In terms of the individual characters:

Spyro is obviously my favorite, regardless of any of his shortcomings
Cynder is alright. I don't care much for her.
Bash is a pretty cool guy who doesn't afraid of anything. Rolling is a lot of fun too. I wouldn't say he's quite overpowered, especially compared to Drobot.
Speaking of Drobot, I really like him. Dragons+ robots= awesome no matter who you are.
Sunburn is pretty cool as well. I guess he's more of an acquired taste.
Flashwing is awesome and a great newcomer, honestly much better than Bash in my opinion.
Whirlwind is cool and satisfying if you can get her rainbows to bounce on the clouds. She takes some work to master.
Zap is alright. I don't have feelings much for him either way as well.
Camo..i think I'll agree with you there. I don't care much for Camo.

And the fact that each dragon Skylander is different in each element, with different abilities and characteristics, convinced me to buy them all.

How the hell is Bash not overpowered (well at least on Granite Dragon, Pulver Dragon is crap)? A single tail swipe attack does 80 damage, wtf!? He has too much health, armor, attack strength, and even speed. Walking Speed and his short-ranged still aren't enough to make him well-balanced.

Not only that, but his Wow Pow does 108 damage!

Overpowered is so stupid. People complain when there too stron and when their too weak. Every Skylander is amazing, you just need to learn how to use them.

Dragons are simply awesome!

I don't like Zap's voice in "Giants," like someone else pointed out, he sounds like Mickey Mouse drowning.

But I like Zap's attacks, heck I even like Camo. Exploding melons? Was Camo inspired by the 1980's David Letterman? smilie

Why do most people think Camo is overrated and stupid? He's awesome! If anything, he's underrated due the fact that so many people hate him.

Most fans say Cynder is overrated because of her fanbase from The Legend of Spyro series.

I don't think Camo is stupid, that's just a few fans' opinions being said almost everywhere.

I changed my mind about smilie , my dad got me him (and the rest of dragon's peak) today. He's pretty good for a dragon, although not my favorite Fire guy (smilie Eruptor is and always will be in that Rank).

I still think Camo is stupid, on Youtube I've met TONS who love him. He is anything BUT underrated in my opinion, he seems to be the only non-reposed guy that's still talked about!

Life < Undead, beating Tree Rex means nothing to me because of that. What path was Tree Rex on anyway? If it was the Crummy Lumbering Laserer path it means even less. I agree about the most powerful and coolest looking though (except for Whirlwind and Bash, poor designs to me).

But the Lightning path? Come on, Cynder is nerfed in Giants and Nether Welder is totally useless and a one-trick pony. Her only good attack now is the Lightning breath, she can now be hurt while Shadow-Dashing and the ghosts suk without Shadowdancer.

no, cynder shadowdancer is the REAL one trick pony. with nether welder, you can dash, then explode for high dmg. and, my tree rex beat cynder on lumbering laserer.

Dragon love doesn't have to boil down to who's the best in-game. Yes, there are plenty of valid arguments that none of the dragons are the best of their element, but "best" and 'worst" are all relative in a game that's primarily made to be a source of fun. In the end, it's best to go with the Skylanders you like--in terms of personality, skills, aesthetics, and whatever conceivable idea someone could have for picking a character.

Nope. The ghosts suck without Shadowdancer, they don't last long and aren't annoying enough. Besides, Nether Welder doesn't even increase damage or anything special (although neither path increases damage). All it does is make the breath larger and longer, let your ghosts explode, and increase the attack time; nothing so awesome. The ghost bombs are so useless, the explosions are VERY small and so easy to avoid, plus they don't even do a lot of damage. No one in PvP (except total morons) is just gonna stand around and get hit by the explosion.
