Everyone in the Legend series. Too "dark," and Spyro's all, "We must save these guys, we must defeat this dude, yada-****in'-yada!" Cynder is the worst, IMO. Her fanbase of CynderxSpyro....no. She's always over Spyro lovewise....NO. And she just generally annoys the crap out of me. >:ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc

Haha, let me tell you about Ninjini fans... 8D *throws up in mouth again* But I actually still really like her; it's not her fault her fans suck. :D
Now DotD Cynder, on the other hand... Man, I don't even know where to start. The short version is that her personality was gutted in that game (which impressed me because there wasn't much to start with), her design was creepy and painful to look at if you have even the most rudimentary grasp of anatomy, and her fans... D: Oh, her fans. D: It's easy to ignore a small number of gross, perverted, obnoxious, rude people (see: Ninjini fans) but when they comprise a huge majority of the fanbase you encounter it's not so easy to dismiss. I won't go into any details, but I've seen some absolutely vile things done in the name of creepy lolicon Cynder (and I don't just mean gross art, I mean outright unacceptable behavior toward real people because of a not-real cartoon dragon). Legend Spyro: he's a pathetic excuse for a hero, his voice annoys me, and he's just too whiny at all times for me to like. Cyril: It's really just because of one line in ANB, otherwise I wouldn't give a toss about him at all. But that one line was grossly inappropriate and someone at Activision still owes me and every other disabled gamer an apology. Malefore: Lamest. Villain. Ever. Senseless/no motives for his evil, cliche in the worst ways, obnoxiously auto-tuned so you have to turn subtitles on to understand what he's saying, and the easiest boss in the entire trilogy. And I loathe his character design. Flynn: I don't hate him, but his constant idiotic machismo really bugs me and I hope Cali gets a girlfriend so he'll take a hint and finally leave her alone. |

Fans don't ruin characters to me unless the writers try to make the fanon into canon(say,sequel-made Faux Action Girl character of your choice)...With one sole exception.
Étranges Libellules Cynder. Oh god,of all the crap that EL spawned with their sole Spyro title,she was the worst. Razz is right about the abomination that is her design; not to mention as well the not-black tone that just made it obvious that EL wasn't thinking of an Anti-Hero and actually of a chick to pair Spyro with so the fans would shut up. Well,not only that didn't help the fandom at all,it crushed Cynder's developed personality into bits,and they set the bits on fire and used the ashes. And the best part? Fans decide that the fact she's a main character now was enough to let them be as rude as they please with however doesn't like her with Spyro,and to scream how they love her because she's so hot; funny thing that you're probably getting yelled at for assuming they approve that kind of thing,after all she's not a real thing - except to them. Now,with that out of the way,I could go and say how EL Spyro is also bad,but it's mostly because his development from other games was also destroyed;he'd be a fine bland character if it wasn't for the idiotic thing for Ignitus' death and the stuff involving Cynder and Malefor. Another character that I really despise is Hermit from SG. Nope,I don't mind at all that that you have a complete jerk in your team,considering Flynn is now way nicer,but not someone with absolutely no good in him. All he does is complain, insist on his conspiracy theories,and be mean. Even worse once it gets to Machine Ghost,which is one of the best characters in the game, and Hermit just treats him badly,even when they join forces to pull that plot hole to save the Skylanders. I hope VV can improve his character if he gets back for Swap Force,because not even the idiots that brag about their Skystones are as bad as him. Now,no one else that I dislike that much, though I've got to say AHT Spyro is way too close to that. A lot of his dialogue has some sexist stuff or joking about old people, and though I get the wacky black humor,everyone else in that game and Shadow Legacy did it better; I don't want a hero that thinks girls are dumb and the old men that help you are idiots,sorry.

Kariana: Yep, it was the line about blind dragons that made me hate Cyril and want to smack whoever wrote it into the script. :D
Noraymo6: I actually hadn't noticed until much later that Sparx had basically been replaced by Cynder, but I had seen him as essentially a non-entity in LoS because he had no role outside of comedic relief. I was also too busy just being totally disappointed by DotD and then Ignitus died in a fire (?!!! D: ) and that kind of stupid just knocked it right out of my brain. XD re: perverts ruining female characters Honestly, this is why the Skyladies need more fans. Elsewise they will be reduced to nothing but lust objects for gross fans, which means fewer female characters over time and, thus, fewer role model characters for real little girls to play as. I just don't even look up female Skylanders anymore (every time I did I found something tasteless or gross) and I left all the groups dedicated to them because the mods would permit gross works to be included. I'm quite happy to enjoy a collection of kick-butt fighting lady toys and know that they do the same in-game, no fandom required. :) |

Hilarious irony is that Spyro and Cynder later go looking for lifts over the lava to fly to Floating Islands. I think a giant collumn of fire,with all that hot air, can also work as a lift way up. Burned Lands was just there to kill Ignitus. Damn,he was actually a pretty fine character.

Every character in Dawn of the Dragon for me, whether new or returning. Hunter was completely stripped of all character and became rather generic and serious all the time. Sparx's voice was awful, his model was really off, and most of his lines were corny (except "Let's blow this dam thing up!" that was amazing). The other three guardians were stripped of all character and literally had about 3 lines of dialogue between them. Cyril's line being offensive, Terrador's being boring, and Volteer's being disappointing because of how funny it was to hear him babble in ANB.
Spyro was even more emotionless than Jeff Goldblum in the Jurassic Park movies and had no personality. I didn't honestly want to root for him. Cynder was an obnoxious teenage prick and started up a... bizarre fanbase, for lack of a better word. And Malefor was a generic, uninteresting, and (when it came to his "climactic" boss fight) extremely unoriginal villain and a waste of great voice acting talent. He was a Mundus clone for the fight. The only character who was okay was Ignitus. But that "heroic sacrifice" was just executed so badly it outweighed Gary Oldman's performance. =_=

Everyone in Shadow Legacy - Spyro's an idiot, Hunter's a jerk, the Dragon Elders are annoying and everyone else is just bland.
Ignitus (A New Beginning) - He takes forever to say nothing. -.- The Alcamist (Spyro 2) - LEARN TO WALK! And the worst of them all: Kaos (Skylanders) - Holy ****, this guy is easily the most annoying character in video games... ever. His voice is unbearable, his dialogue is generic and unfunny, his concept is rushed and lame and I quite simply can't stand this guy! (Yes I actually like Moneybags because he can be hilarious at times and he even helps you out a bit in AHT. And I don't mind Cynder...)

I rather like Moneybags, too. He's a magnificent bast**rd and those sorts of characters tend to crack me up. Getting to beat him up at the end of Spyro 3 if you collect all the gems makes up for it all, too. :D He did drive me nuts in AHT, but when compared to Blink, he really wasn't a big deal.
Kaos doesn't bug me (he's actually one of my favorite things about Skylanders), but I'm an old fan of "Invader Zim", so he wouldn't. :D For those not in the know, Richard Horowitz voiced Zim and he is basically playing the same character with Kaos (right down to saying "doom" a lot). Do the whiny classic and LoS fans who do nothing but complain about Skylanders count as franchise characters we don't like? Because I can't stand any of them. :D |

Kaos is a pretty cool generic villain,I never got the hate for him(when you don't count Skylanders hate bias,at least);not only he's Zim but way less harmless,he has a pretty okay backstory and is quite competent - The final boss battle at Giants pretty much made that obvious; for someone focused on magitek he knows how to use the good old fistcuffs. He could be a LOT better if the devs decided to develop him more,but as of now he ain't bad at all either.

re: Cyril being offensive
I can't remember the exact wording, something like "Even a blind dragon finds his target from time to time", which is extremely crass and rude for anybody with a disability to hear, especially blindness. Only a completely able-bodied individual who's never once in his entire life met someone with a disability would write that. Yep, Ignitus died. In a fire. The fire guardian died. In a fire. It's pretty much the dumbest Obi Wan death scene I've ever witnessed. D: |

It's a line that plays off a lot of negative stereotypes (that are actually quite wrong, but I won't go into that). Given that the disability rights movement is often ignored (despite having been active for more than fifty years), things like this do still happen. But in a game for children? That's pretty unacceptable. It's no better than if Cyril had made a racist or homophobic slur (it is, in fact, the same thing, it's just that the disabled are a lot more marginalized as a group right now so most people don't give it a second thought).

Never been a big fan of Blink. Not sure why. It might be because of the whole "Freshairaphobia" business, as well as the whole "Kid Spy" deal that doesn't really work for him. Also his voice. ...He does have his moments, though.
"What? You think just cause I'm a mole I have to know every other mole in the world." Also, they changed his name to Blinky in Spyro Orange. Quote: Kariana
At least Chill and Hex are humanoids. I don't even wanna look up Whirlwind on DeviantArt. ...At least not without the Mature filter on. Quote: Bifrost
IMO, Kaos is actually more likeable than a lot of the classic Spyro villains. Even in Spyro's Adventure he was a formidable opponent. If you had 8 Skylanders, sure he's not that hard, but if you have less than five, he's no push-over. However, before I actually saw him in game, I didn't like his overall appearance. You kind of have to see him in action. |

And I don' like, you can not jump in Skylanders Spyro's Adventure and Giants. =_= I feel me limited in the movement of the characters...

Persephone really annoys me with her whole "Hello extremely, let's partake in happy dance, take happy dance with you, happy happy HAPPY!" business. ...Also, Persephone is butt-ugly.

Tbh I don't like Persephone at all either, she's just too cheery and all for me. Also I don't like her design much either.
I don't like Cynder either (mostly DotD and TEN), for reasons posted. No sense in repeating them. I never liked Zoe much, especially in AHT. I just thought she was always kind of annoying (not so much in YotD, but definitely in AHT). Not fond of Blink either, probably for his voice and minigames. Malefor, I was expecting more due to the climax they were building for him, sorry. Sparx in LoS, I didn't find him funny after once or twice. Not a big fan of AHT Spyro's personality, they were shooting for funny I assume and I don't think they got there. Gnasty Gnorc in AHT (he's fine in StD) really annoyed me with his baby fits and kind of annoying voice. Some others I could list later.
