Where was this found?

Now people are complaining that the TV Show is too much. That it's milking the franchise.

Why do you feel we need to know every single complaint about it? Most people here don't even care if others don't like it;I certainly don't, I'll wait for a pilot to judge.

Beacuse they are saying the franchise is getting "Milked" with a TV Show.

Skylanders has been milked since Giants. But the complaint is long overdue especially if they're starting to complain about it right after the tv show was announced. Shouldn't bother anyone though, not worth the time or attention.

And why should you care? For all you know they probably aren't even a big fan and are just looking for something to whine about. You'll end up getting upset over a lot of unecessary,forgettable stuff if you keep taking every opposing opinion as a big deal and something you need to argue against.

Like everyonethat says that everything is Popluar is getting "milked".

Really the TV Show doesn't hurt anyone...

Then the complaints shouldn't bother you, right?

The Milking thing is an excuse that people use beacuse, they see it everywhere.

It's annoying that people go nuts beacuse of it's getting a TV show.

I noticed that any big opinion you don't agree with happens to be annoying. I'm not saying this because I don't want a discussion over this,I'm saying it because you're giving too much attention to things that wouldn't ever bother you otherwise and that gets people stressed out real quick if they don't learn to let some stuff go.

Personally, I thought a tv series where it's just one or two episodes for each character would have been better. We'd get to see all the backstories to our favorites, it would be great. They could have even used this as a way to confirm new characters. I'll still give this a chance though. It's about time Skylanders gets a tv series.

Could this be the first time in forever there will be Nintendo characters in a cartoon? What if like Smash Bros the new characters and guest stars for Sky6 get revealed through the show?

Well...first time since Kirby & F-Zero ( I really wish they finished the dub there...or at least that I could find the full series subbed ), though don't forget that Pokemon is still around ( I gave up on watching Pokemon ages ago tbh...can't stand Team Rocket anymore, and Ash is still an idiot )

Now I want Nintendo to do a Smash Bros cartoon, like Skylanders but having the heroes visiting each others' worlds to help against the combined threats of Nintendo villains

Everyone starts talking about the franchise being milked as I drink milk :/

A Spyro reddit thread literally exploded with rage and salt when they saw that Spyro was going to be in the Skylanders tv show.

So what else is new on the internet?

I for one accept having him appear at all instead of never.

Let's take Spyro out and replace him with the Superior Gill Grunt. We could have an episode where all twenty Gill Grunts are just standing around, talking. Maybe we'll actually get an episode where some kind of cloning device glitches and we get 42 different Gill Grunts.

I agree, wonder if they'll give Spyro the same screentime as in the comics.

And there's also the theme song. Wonder what it's going to be like.

Just checked the Spyro subreddit. My my what temper tantrum.

As for the theme it'll likely be something instrumental.

I had to. I'm sorry, I couldn't help it.

I wish they used the SSA theme again. It's sometimes labeled as the series theme but it hasn't been used even there since the hub themes are all remixes.

I had a strong feeling this would happen and it'd not be what anyone wanted. Skylanders Academy reeks of being a school show like Monster High or the brand new DC Super Hero Girls which is set in college. Both are only a few minutes long and are not very good.

Best that we can hope for is something like Sonic Boom where they have 5 main characters doing Teen Titans Go type randomness. Not true to the real characters but it's really popular these days.

I was hoping for something close to Adventure Time fantasy/adventure/humor or even My Little Pony but I think that's expecting way too much. (I'm a huge animation fan, it is a passion of mine. I will watch nearly anything animated at least once so I tend to know a lot of animated shows that are out there. )

Anyway this basically confirms a Sky 6 game to me. Not that there was any doubt about it happening but no one had confirmed one either.

I for one LOVE Sonic Boom better than the other two. Both those other shows are overused, gross, and hideous for my eyesight.

No offense!

About the theme song, I think that the best is to switch the theme and opening for each season, featuring the characters from the last game. As a example, the first season could use SuperChargers theme while the opening features the SuperChargers characters.

Again, it sepends on the age they're ging to aim towards - I'm guessing we'll get a theme with lyrics, but I'd much prefer using instrumentals from the game (or an original creation in the style of the game). Perhaps with an introduction by Eon similar to Avatar/Korra or what they've done with Power Rangers of late.

By some explanation by the Disney guy that works in the Studio, the series is aimed towards the entire family. He said that he wants to see his 7 years old son watching, his 13 years old daughter watching, and himself watching. This probably means, it's aimed to all ages. Kids will probably be the main target, but adults can enjoy.

attack on Titan like intro please

Other toughs:

• I wonder if they will do Special Dates episodes, like Halloween or Christmas episodes. Obviously, Halloween ones will be centered around Undead Skylanders, and maybe the rest will include the Variants.
  
• Speaking of witch, I wonder if the Variants will appear in some form. Maybe they are considered non-canon.

If that is what they honestly want, then I hope everyone involved in the show sits down and watches The Last Airbender before they put pen to paper for the first episode of Skylanders. I know I've brought the series up a lot, but, honestly, the series is probably the best thing to come from American-produced animation ever. The folks who worked on that show managed to weave action, adventure, comedy, romance, and drama together in such a way that my *wife* ended up having me buy the series on DVD so that she could watch it from beginning to end with me, instead of the snippets she caught when I watched it on the DVR. My wife's top three shows right now are probably The Voice, Grey's Anatomy, and Graceland. For her to not just be *willing* to watch a cartoon with me, but to actually *want* to watch it - that says a *lot* about how "for the entire family" the show managed to be.

If they really want to go this route, then I implore them to take their time with the series, create a Series Bible, plot out the first few seasons and make sure everyone (writers, animators, producers, overlords at Activision, and the folks in charge of whatever network they end up on) are all on the exact same page as to the goal and vision of the series so we don't end up with the fuster cluck that happened with Korra while it was airing.

For theme songs, one of three options:
1. Original.
2. Licensed pop song song.
3. Whatever Skylanders theme they choose.

Also, I just realized, does anyone think the Doom Raiders will be involved in this, or is it too early to guess?

Hopefully all villains seen in the games make an appearance in the series.

Well, I think that the Doom Raiders will appear sometime, along with other Trappable Villains. But Kaos will take the main villain role from the start. It's just a prediction.

New villains can appear too, probably tv-exclusive.

I generally don't like these characters created outside of the main media of the franchise. The majority go too much out of the characters style in the original material. Maybe the fact that it's first party developed, it can be better.

I think the changed VAs are because the game had video game people, not TV people.
Sort of like how the animated trailers have different VAs.

I would be surprised if some of the Skylanders and characters kept their voice actors from the games. Kaos will very much likely keep his, since Richard Horvitz is among the voice cast.

Actually,pretty sure most of the Skylanders voice actor also do animated shows, or anime. A lot of them are video games mostly,but with the sheer number it's very significant the amount that does just about any animated thing.

All variants are a alter ego/form on the respective Skylander, not a separate being. I would say it's likely we'll see some of them, Dark Spyro is by far the most likely.

I'm also doubting many would simply say "no" to a regular job. The decision not to include certain voice actors is probably 100% related to cost.

Unions could also be involved, because they didn't seem to have much issue in calling the VAs back for Trap Team just to say 'Excellent","Whoohoo!" and "Oh yeah!". But I really have no knowledge on that,just that they have a say on what companies or media the actors can work on.

Very true. I mean Spitfire is voiced by Diedrich Bader, who also does lot of other voices including Batman on Brave & the Bold. If you IMDB most of the VAs from the games you'll find a ton of moments where you're like "holy crap, (character name here) was THAT guy?"

I just listened to this....Glumshanks's new voice is going to be really jarring. I feel like he might even have a different personality, considering the type of voice they're going with...

Dr. Krankcase and Raiden from the MGS series have the same voice actor. Yup,you heard that right.

I'm willing to bet that's a cost cutting measure to avoid paying royalties to Hans Zimmer. Yes he runs the production studio that handles Lorne Balfe's scores (Remote Control Productions) but they'd still need to pay him the use the song.

And neither of them do TV scores anyway (just the occasional miniseries), so I wouldn't expect any music that's similar to what we hear in the games.

I don't really see what the big deal is about Skylanders VA's. I don't own the games and I can very easy tell that the Skylanders are never the focal point of the games' plots and their lines are as trivial as the voice grunting of the Mario series. It's more about the interactions between the NPCs and villains so those would be the VA's to keep. <.<;

I'm just sad they don't give spyro his own game yet I'm from the legend era

Well, they always talk in the games, just never in cutscenes and whatever(and even then,the Superchargers now interact with NPCs during their quests). It's actually rare when a character just voice grunts. Only SSA had them talk gibberish,now they have scripted moments to shout out a one-liner or comment.
