No Problem!

Because Malefor remembers Spyro because Malefor battled him as the sorcerer before

Two generations, three dragon lovers. Your family is awesome.

How is it spyro the game is coming back it possible in history page I look the time it unknown history I keep looking but no answer it a mistory page of history remains 2018 but sounds like 2022 it unknown page.

SPAWNofaDEMONMJ was that an open reference to Emperors New Groove

Miss Lady Shana oh okay

Llama people?

Same with me for the first two skylanders games. Nostalgia, man, nostalgia.

@Chapin Taylor and @ComputeTHIS Yes!! Loved all the games you mentioned. I grew up with Legends and the first two Skylanders games were the most solid. I still have my fully maxed-out Spyro and Cynder figurines for Skylanders!

It’s mystical and beautiful.

you need more likes

Thank you for this

Gillian Bell More like the legend of Zelda series. But yes the same thing.

Considering he masters multiple elements that others can't, I'd say it's more like the Avatar in that way.

So spyro doesn't have to be a purple dragon, can he be other animals like a cat or something???

Sir Isaac But thats an easter egg that doesnt play a role in the story and can be dismissed.

But there is a Spyro/Crash Cross-over game as well. :?

Sir Isaac That Spyro must take place when Crash dies!

and he appeared in skylanders academy and none seem to remember even meeting befored, so that proves that a.- one is non canon (both really) and b.- that most of the spin off are just that, spin offs

You know what this means... Theory time!!

Miss Lady Shana don’t be a buzzkill. He lost the name when he gave up his soul under the control of the dark ether. Hot take: Malefor = OG Spyro’s true fate

But, you’re spyro... I... but... wha?

But stories are all lies, nothing about lore connections and related canonically

@@tylorkenniston1192 or maybe Malafore was a dark sorcerer that switched bodies with Spyro and then killed him after that.

Exactly! You got it XD

Yup! C: Sorry for the late response.

Maybe a blue shirt and no cap is more current.

Canadian Guy Eh So wait Spyro timeline is the Legend of Zelda: Spyro aka Link Cynder aka Zelda Malfor aka Ganondorf

Except we can hear Spyro talk.

Worker then gamthe

True

I agree. I also speculated that Malafor was the OG Spyro

I agree too 100!!!!!!!!!

I posted this as a standalone comment, but in case it gets buried, I'll post it here. This theory is fun....but it doesn't hold up in deeper analysis, especially in regards to Skylanders lore. "This video is fun but this theory has many flaws in it that make it wrong. I think Canadian guy eh focused too much on Spyro lore but ignored Skylanders lore, which flat out contradicts a key part of this theory. Nothing against Canadian Guy though! So for starters, numerous purple dragons other than Spyro exist in OG Spyro continuity, seen in both the original trilogy, reignited trilogy and Shadow legacy. This kills off the purple dragon prophecy as existing in OG Spyro continuity. You then have the creator of the Skylander comic with Malefor confirm that the Skylander Malefor *is not* the Legends of Spyro Malefor in a Q&A. The biggest flaw in this theory is that Skylanders Imaginators irrefutably kills this theory regarding the creation of Skylands. It is confirmed in Imaginators that the Skylands and its life was created by mind magic by the Ancients, a race a giant brain tentacle creatures. NOT a cataclysm caused by Malefor, as we see in Legend continuity. The last ancient is a key character in the game plot and confirms this backstory. There are other flaws in this theory, such as purple dragons being immune to dark energy in OG Spyro(as pointed out by this video) YET Legends and Skykanders has purple dragons being *vulnerable* to dark energy. Or how OG Spyro only is able to learn other breaths through magic from Bianca or Faeries. In other words, he can't learn different breaths naturally like Legend and Skyland Spyro can. Canadian Guy Eh says having 3 different continuities feels like a cop-out....but that's not a lore arguement, that his personal preference. It's no more a cop out than Crash having two continuities now. I'm not trying to be to too critical on Canadian Guy, it's a fun theory....it just doesn't hold up in deeper analysis."

Awh thanks!! I have another theory in the works, but with all the spyro news (and reviews) it’s been hard to get onto!! But I gotta make sure I get it just right :)

+Cinema Comix that's what I was going for!! I might make a part 2 to clear up other aspects I did not get to (because other wise the video would have been longer, I like capping it at 15 minutes) Like how hunter fits into this, how Malefor recognizes spyro in the skylander series but Spyro does not know him, how the dark gems from a hero's tail ties in to the darkness etc etc

@@CanadianGuyEh In the skylander series Malefor also says that SPYRO was the one that killed him

2020: New crash bandicoot 4 with timeline's Me: well well well looks like Spyro games will be all cannon after the trilogy

I saw the glow on her nose to is was like for half a Sec

Further proof for the connected souls, I agree

A bit late, but the disappearance of advanced technology might be explainable through the arkeyans.

or: legend hunter and OG hunter are the same hunter. my theory is that spyro also bound his soul with sparx and hunter's or .... he was resurrected by the draconic gods to aid spyro

Little late in this reply. This is actually an interesting observation. There's multiple contexts for the word "generation." It could speak of a societal timespan or even from parent to child to grandchild and so forth. Given that Ignitus was in the first and second series, it can be assumed that these dragons can live for an absurdly long time, thus making their societal definition of generation even longer.

@@Shadednecros I like that explanation. ^^

@@StaticP ;)

for dragons it is likely that a generation is 100 years because dragons are supposed to live a few hundred years

There are two types of generations one being generation of the max years a human can live

That is a good link. In the Legend series, Ignitus stated Spyro (being early in his cycle since the other purple still lived) was created to balance out the evil created by Malafore. So clearly nature is using Spyro to balance out darkness/evil. Those crystals you mentioned could have been what caused nature to start the cycle of Spyro's rebirthing to begin with and since the crystals (I.E. the darkness) never goes away (since they are present in the legend series) then Spyro would need to reincarnate often to serve as a constant balance against the darkness. I'm not well versed in Skylanders since I still hold some resentment for using Spyro as a money grab for their new game, but from what I do understand, they mentioned that darkness and light need each other, so the continued presence of evil and Spyro would make sense.

adam Young so the 1st spyro was born to defeat gnasty gnork, ripto, and red... makes sense because gnasty gnork is in a heros tail... the 2nd spyro was born to defeat cynder and malefore (gnasty gnork, red and the professor dont appear anymore) makes sense... the 3rd spyro is the skylander spyro (i never played it so idk) but we know that the skyland is created after dawn of the dragon so it makes all sense... But why doesnt there is a 4th spyro? Is the world not dark anymore?

Luca :D It cant be instant. The time gap between og and legend spyro is in the centuries as far as we can pice togather. As for skylands spyro we don't know that time gap ether but we can guess its big since no mention of the charaters from the legend series are mentioned baring malafore since hes undead i guess. That and we gota wait for a new game to come out for another spyro. Which, knowing activison is likly to take as long as it took for og spyro to reincarnate but irl this time XD.

Sorry to burst your bubble but the darkness is completely unrelated to spyro.

+the1stMoyatia thanks, it took a long time to figure out. My wife looked at me like a looney while I was drawing out how this all worked XD

spyro generations when

Wow, I didn't notice that lol

Spyro mania plus

god killer 98 wow

Fack u skylanders is awsome and sonic boom is pure ass

Scyrina Skylanders Academy is a different timeline

If you think about it, make for was sealed away in DOTD so you can say that he has that desire when he got out of the crystal in episode 12 it’s clear that the 4 Guardians are in the show do this all can tie together

Malefor

Design

Skylanders Academy is a different timeline then the games so it doesn’t have to follow the storyline

Thanks man!

FINALLY SOMEONE NOTICES XD

To be fair, partially blocked by the channel marker.

Zomagedon and Hunter

William I actually figured out something for him, in the avalar level in dawn of the dragon, the leader of hunters clan says that he remembers malefor (OG spyro) when he was younger, so we can probably say that the dawn of the dragon hunter remembers him too. So this would mean that hunter either lives a really long time, or he is just reincarnated with his old memories. And as for sparx, he probably shares a special bond with spyro, kind of like cynder.

Maybe original Sparx's ancestor?

Same thing as funder He has a brotherly bond with spyro

Zomagedon the only flaw is skylanders academy

I would as well, maybe the OG Spyro version of Cynder has let to be seen.

Skylanders is its own separate thing. Basically a reboot to Spyro, don’t let them fool you. OG PlayStation Spyro and LOS Spyro are the same Spyro. The LOS trilogy is a prequel series to the original Spyro games.

@@fulcrumflare Legend of Spyro is also a reboot, but it is possible this theory links the reboots together

I would put OG after legend because: A. there's that theory about cynder being reborn as ember to take into account. B. the prophecy was issued about 10 years before malefor was born. and C. cynder could have been reborn elsewhere. spyro and cynder don't have to be reborn in the same place. they have to be reborn at the same time, but for all we know, during OG's lifetime, cynder could be fighting another war against malefor.

TheLuckOfTheClaw Your point about Crash Bandicoot is well made!

TheLuckOfTheClaw I'd like to chime in on this despite how late this response is. I believe that Crash like Spyro is a hero of his own. Though rather than reincarnation it is a passed down legacy. Each Crash has taken up the mantle so to say of their father

In fact from what I get this reincarnation thing was made up on the first place as Ignis did know that Spyro egg would give birth to a purple dragon on the first place. What if 10.000 years is simply time of hatching of dragons and purple dragons are simply immortal? Ignitus did know that it would be purple dragon because he did know that those were eggs of Malefor? And I say eggs because there were two eggs what Ignitus mention at one point. That is what Malefor meant by saying that there were more then two purple dragons.

The only explanation for that is the time disruptor in skylanders academy season 3

There's still one thing, In the 6th Skylanders game, lore has it that beings known as ancients created the skylands. But the events in the Legend of Spyro show that Spyro, in his sacrifice, reformed the world as floating islands (aka, Skylands). So does that mean Spyro could be refered to as an ancient? or is there something missing?

Skylanders itself is a shit, but I don't mean if they build around it, as it don't really do anything to Spyro himself. After all Legends are also technically bad games, just with good story.

Yeah I only take Originals through Legend trilogy as canon Skylanders is its own thing

@@TheRezro skylanders is pretty good, just don't play imaginators, it's bad.

good vs evil's commented the same thing, here is my reply "hunter is a good question. A issue that would have taken longer to explain (maybe I need to make a part 2 of this video to tie up all the loose ends :p) Sadly, there is not enough info to really answer this question with 100% certainty. But it could be that this hunter (the legend of spyro) is The original hunter's future ancestor. Again, remember how I said that something happened in the original spyro series that preserves his soul forever? Something HUGE had to happen, and I'm sure he would have had help from his friends (hunter included) so that means that the original hunter could be a renowned hero among his clan. So they named him after the great story of hunter, his ancestor. Which happens a lot in history ( see sigurd snake in the eye, the Viking named after his ancestor who apparently fought a giant water serpent)" I think Sparx would either also follow suit or is a coincidence. Not the same person but possibly a future ancestor. But it could also be a coincidence (Though kinda weak)

I thought maybe Hner s not a eronal nam but a name of.... hunters in the clan of cheetah? Maybe whenever a membr of te clan bcomes a hunter for it it becames the name they call him? No the same persn or even no related, just some kind of tribal tradition?

Only other theory is Hunter was reincarnated 1000 years later after original series ends for Legend series to begin where Hunter entered a new soul and body and probably also was reincarnated 1000 years again for Skylanders.

And Sparx

This is gonna sound weird but I think Hunter and Bianca actually could be tlos Spyro and Cynder.

+Lawls thank you! That's why I wanted to skip over that point right away. It's such a cop out and it's boring. It's the epic band aid that EVERYONE rolls their eyes at when the writer puts it in. The only time it works is when it's introduced right at the start of a story. Plus, if it was dimensional this would have been a 2 minute video, 1 minute of it would be intro and outro :P don't need 15 minutes to explain that!!

Thank you!!

@Canadian Guy Eh Speaking about theories, what if Malefor isn't reincarnation but simply ten thousand years is how hatching of dragon egg take a time and they literally made up story about it? What I really mean is that it is totally possible that Ignitus did know that purple dragon hath from egg because it was in fact Malefor egg? In short Spyro could be his son, what make a sense if we consider that he clearly rip off Vader trying bring Spyro on his side despite not having real interest in that. And speaking of that what Malefor meant by saying that there is more purple dragons is in fact something else.. specifically that there were more eggs (Ignitus mention that at one point) but he was capable to reclaim only one from two. Point is that there is a reason why Spyro and Cynder have same age and why she in fact did monster all dark elements when we do know that Dark Dragons are only corrupted normal Dragons so they should work in same way. And that isn't even a theory as she loose black taint over time clearly revealing purple scales. I wounder why you miss that fact?

Also largest counterargument against this theory is fact that Malefor technically did appear in Shadow Legacy under name Sorcerer. If classic and Legend series is in canon it would mean that he is not previous Spyro. Also for some reason they decided to retcon Malefor in Skylanders what in fact strongly contradict this theory regard its continuity with that series. If after classic PS1 trilogy they decide to remade PS2/DS era then it is totally possible that we end with Classic and Legend series in one canon. Retconing Skylanders though would be hard. My beat would be that Skylanders Malefor could be impostor who take name of evil Dragon King when real one is Spyro father, though even in this case it is sad that he isn't on top anymore as Strykore was one who corrupted purple dragons.

Fire Ring hopefully they’re just younger in the current skylanders games and will grow out of it- grow out of being hideous abominations I mean. They do have like centuries of life

Justmaghookit maybe they'll have something in the games an Easter egg or something to one of the two other series!

Cynder was Black in ANB and TEN but the director for DOTD decided to have her redesigned with purplish scales for whatever reason even though she is still referred to as the black dragon in DOTD.

Yep, however Spyro is the only Purple dragon with Yellow highlights. So you could say The Purple Yellow dragon is the unique dragon and the complaints about Cynder's color in Dawn of the Dragon can shut it!

Electric Storm! Np!! I maybe making a part 2 as well :) just smoothing out some details

+Syyr553 well thank you! :D

Syyr553 the next DAY OR TWO OF YOU WHO HAVE a lot

The lore changes a touch but I dont think it would be enough to completely throw this theory out the door, I think it still works :)

True true

MelancholyJoker19 They. Are..NOT CONNECTED I WILL BEAT THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF U! !!!

I will say even the Skylanders academy can still be worked with it under this theory as the malifor in the show is nothing like legend of spyro's so if we follow the theory the name malifor could be a title and great honor among evil creatures and so say the shows dragon's family named him malifor after the dark master, then when he had a egg made it was the reborn soul of cynder you would have a dragon named malefor who wasnt the original malefor. Making it all fit nicely

The show’s creator basically said it’s a different timeline. Back in 2016 he was asked about it and he said it wasn’t necessarily an alternate universe but a different execution on Skylanders, which implies separate timelines.

They are both in Season 2, actually! Dark Spyro at the VERY end, though. However, that poses an odd question... particularly, pertaining to Skylanders Academy (which I did NOT expect to be actually good, and do Spyro justice). Yes, Malefor is an undead dragon king in the show, and this would connect the two storylines. However, as for the question... In Academy, Malefor is Cynder's (probably) blood father...Somehow. And to top it off, Malefor looks VERY different for some odd reason ( img00.deviantart.net/5cb1/i/2017/262/5/7/malefor___skylanders_academy_by_bctheboss-dbnwwe4.png < this is Malefor in Academy, and shows no otherwise sign of being a purple dragon at any point, or even remotely connected to LoS' Malefor. Other than being an undead dragon king, which is a stretch to say they're the same simply because of that. I don't know, maybe Academy Spyro is just a bit different from normal Skylanders Spyro in terms of lore.

Thanks for the reply man!

1. Malefor not being purple can be a false statement. Spyro is a purple dragon, but when he turned evil he got black scales in academy. Maybe, if Malefor turns on the good side, he will return with purple scales. 2. Skylanders itselfe has 3 Franchises. Comic, Game and tv- series all licensed to 3 different companies. With this you have 3 different Timelines *AND* 3 Dimensions. As long as the TV-Series states that Eon found Spyro it is impossible to say how it is connected (which is on a very high level of possibility)

They were both in season 2... did you even watch it?

In academy, Malefor could have took Cynder and raised her so she would not be with Spyro and defeat him again

Thanks dude!!

Canadian Guy Eh your welcome my dude. I even started a let's play of the series too! ^^

Honestly, it's entirely possible.

Donald McRonald I was thinking the same thing!!

It's possible, but malefor states that there were other purple dragons before him as well. It's possible they are the same, but I dont think it's likely.

Also, I dont think the games are connected. But nice video and theory.

..... It's crazy, but possible

Not only do I see a near 1 to 1 recreation of the Shadow Realm Sorcerer in Malefore (visually) I also hear A LOT of similarities between the Shadow Realm Sorcerer’s theme in Shadow Legacy, Malefor’s theme in Dawn of the Dragon and the battle themes from the Legend Trilogy… to the point where I got to the boss level and the first thing I said to myself was “Wait, is that Legend of Spyro music?” BEFORE I EVEN GOT OFF THE TELPORTER THAT BROUGHT ME THERE! Also, I don’t think ALL Undead are soulless in Skylanders… just the ones who were made artificially without one like Chop Chop or the ones who sold theirs like Malefore are, but there are some who DO have their souls intact because they’re still in their own bodies like Hex, Cynder, Ghost Roaster, Fright Rider ECT the ones who went to an undead realm without Eon’s protection spell, died there, and came back as themselves… as for being born an undead element, like Roller Brawl, I’d say she at least has a soul, but I’m going to put them on the “take it case by case” list

No not...at all.....except for the avatar skills

@@rubendudink9968 How would it not be very similar if this theory was in fact true?

Pretty cool eh? :)

Yes and it was one of my favorite series too..but....now is the question: who would win in a battle and withs is your favorite

Yo for real, Sparx is a magic item in the first skylanders game isn't he, I wonder how he got there.

I do have a theory about Sparx. Perhaps with no apparent reason, Sparx's soul works just like Cynder's, except for the fact that he has always been there since the OG 5 games. As you can see, there are a few details that made me reflect. Sparx was not there when Spyro sacrificed himself in the legend trilogy, but he was still bound to him. That made me think that the relationship between Spyro and Sparx became a bit weaker: in fact Sparx is just an item in the Skylanders series. The only qeustion is, how is it possible that he is actually bound to Spyro? It's actually easy to think about it. Sparx has always been the health indicator of Spyro in the OG series, and that could be the link. About Hunter, I do also have a theory. Starting from Spyro 2, we always saw Hunter, and I think that during Spyro: a Hero's Tail he found a way to bound his soul with him. I'll explain immediately how. During a section, Spyro gets trapped, and you get to play Hunter and save his life. Perhaps this action made by Hunter granted him the possibility to be reincarnated, but only once, because technically Hunter saved Spyro's life only once. You'll probably ask me "why did Hunter not show up in the first two games of the Legend series?" Spyro simply explains it in dawn of the dragon when he says "Hunter... you've been following me!"

my theory is that when spyro died, he offered to connect their souls with his, the same way his is connected with cynders, just purely ethereal instead of the physical and ethereal chains

What about this: Ga-Nasty, Ga-Nork? I’ve heard he’s developing a spell that can tern treasure into warriors!

The Symbiote Nation I’m pretty sure sky landers academy is not canon

@@AHun-t ye it ain't

Pancakes7Skunk probably just applies to Spyro and Malefor and now Cynder being reincarnated in an endless cycle.

The purple dragons from the original were just laziness. Insomnia would use the same model and just change the color in order to make a different dragon

Yeah?

the sorcerer likely was a dragon much like malefor who learned to master, and got corrupted by, dark aether

@@tbnrrenagade9507 maybe but malefor was based off of the sorcerers final form

@@aceofalltrades1 no he wasn't he was purely based on some fan art of adult spyro and an Idea of what spyro would be like if he was always evil.

@@tbnrrenagade9507 no shadow legacy has the sorcerers transformed state baring various similarities to an adult Spyro and was stated by the legend of spyro team to be the inspiration for malefor though what exactly the sorcerer was based off of isn't clear plus In classic spyro being purple didn't make spyro magic help him gain his different abilities however that is probably noncanon to legend of spyro

Thanks!

Sherita Matthews plz do n not watch season 2 it'll ruin your love for season 1. (That's only of your a true spyro fan..

The Skylanders games can be a lot of fun, as long as you don't expect them to play anything like any other Spyro game. I suggest giving Soyro's Adventure, Giants or Imaginators a shot, those three are arguably the best entries in the franchise

Ignitus said in A New Beginning that a new purple dragon is born every 10k years or so. But both Spyro and Malefor are purple dragons. He then stated later that Spyro was born to balance out the evil from Malefor

Central Command One could argue that only applies to the whole Purple Dragon thing in the purest sense. Like, originally Malafor would've been reincarnated, but the dark ether damaged/corrupted his soul to the point it was barely recognisable as a Purple Dragons, and that Spyro being born to counterbalance said corruption basically means he took Malafors place. Maybe idk Spyro is weird

@@yoshinpixels9924 thats literally what I said but you added another sentence or two

Did you not watch the whole video? Re-watch the part where he talks about Malefor being UNDEAD.

Which is why I hate that idea, this theory is not canon in my eyes.
