To the topic, I would love to see Bianca and Elora in TLoS. Bianca could be some sort of mage, right? Flame and Ember could come from a different land and want to work alongside Spyro and Cynder. Elora...erm, she could just be a friend of the Guardians I guess.

...Yeah, my inspiration and such on Spyro ain't what it used to be when the games stopped producing (for now), so I haven't been here very long.  I decided to come back and check back here and see any updates on the movie.  Looking at Ratchet's comment though, I couldn't leave it without leaving my personal opinion about...yeah.  Hope you don't mind me bumping a bit of an old topic.  Just felt like I needed to get this out.

So, you're trying to compare the two Hunter's to if Harry Potter went from a magician to a "chainsaw weilding junkie."  That makes...no sense what-so-ever.  Yeah...Also really, my opinion, but I like both Hunter's, and while having a totally new character might've done the trick more...I guess they felted like bringing back one more oldie...

Hunter's personality...perfect?  I don't see it.  It's been months since I touched the game, but his personality, perfect?  It just seems like he's just a really calm type and tries not to get angry.  'Sides, don't quite a lot of these characters kind of share that kind of personality sometimes in shows and such?  So...why is it so bad for the LoS Hunter and not the others?  What kind of personalities add-ons would not make him a Gary Stu? 

Okay, I'll give you that the idea probably did come from A Hero's Tail, but...he did need some kind of weapon, didn't he?  Everyone had a little something.  Honestly really, Hunter with bows and arrows seems pretty bad@$$ to me.  Ain't like they were going to give him a sword, mace, or a freaking gun. THAT would've sucked. o.o

...I might have to see a movie clip to understand that.  I don't recall much of that.  He does seem like the expert bow-man though, original (AHT) and new. 

Okay...I did make a mistake when I worded that a long time ago.  What I meant was that the eyes HAD to be soft.  Lava is pretty much soft when it's not black and harden.  The Golem either thought it wasn't going to do much, or it's just plain dumb.  It's not everday you see a SMART Golem (unless you count Monster Rancher for example). 

The nerves..well, really, how else are you supposed to hurt something like that.  A lot of people make Rock like characters get hurt.  Pokemon, Digimon, Monster Rancher, Yu-Gi-Oh, Final Fantasy, and so on.  A lot of the characters there were stone, and yet they can be hurt still.  Also, how would Spyro & Cynder get away IF it's immune to physical damage? 

Well, it was a very small clan, with only male cheetahs, so...I wouldn't expect it to be special or anything like the other places we've seen.  Wouldn't make too much sense to have a large village when you only have like...less than 10...or 15 people in the population.

So...how is it impossible for Spyro and Cynder to carry someone to the raft?  I mean, they have the strength.  One of the probably carried him on their back, or they dragged him out to the raft (which is rough, so I doubt that one).  Really, I don't see how it's impossible..

...Uh, personal opinion, but if the characters pretty much had the SAME look as their past years, plus how dark and what-not The Legend of Spyro series were, it wouldn't fit at all.  Would feel REALLY out of place.  Also, they would have to alter their personalities somehow since TLoS is not the cartoony Spyro we knew from back then.  It's a lot more serious.  Characters breaking the 4th wall or acting all wacky would not help the game at all.  It'll just make it seem like a joke...sort of. 

(EDIT) ....Okay, Sparx can break the 4th wall and what-not since it's hilarious when he does it. XP

Well, like I said, personal opinions.  I understand what you mean though, but I'm pretty much sticking to mine.

Ratchet, no offense, but you really...REALLY need to take a chill pill.  Seriously.  Chill out.
I'll respect your opinion, of course, but don't act so...that.  This is a Legend of Spyro related topic.  If you don't like the series at all, then...y'know, nevermind.   You get it.

Yeah I know, But This is all about whether we should Put More Original Characters in the New Series. And I'm saying that they should, but Only if they retained personalities.

And Believe me, I'm not Hyped up or anything lol

Yes, It did ruin His personality. It just took everything out of what Hunter's character was. they should of added in a new character intirely. Just Leave hunter alone. I know I sound a bit weird, trying to defend a video gme character. but hell, i dont o it that often, and i bet people would defend harry potter if he suddenly turned into a chainsaw wilding junkie.

A gary stu doesnt mean that they are perfect in fighting, or that they cant get hurt or trapped.It means that they are perfect Personality wise. Dont get angry, unless it something they SHOULD get angry about. they dont do anything bad. They are strong, brave and have a reasonable sense of humour. And Hes with Spyro and Cynder because He cant "take on everything". Edward Cullen is a gary stu but he cant take on EVERYTHING.

I know what an arrow is. And why shouldn't hunter? Cause THAT IS NOT HIS CHARACTER. I think The problem here is taht many developers of TLOs only played a hero's tail and possibly enter the dragonfly. and He was a bowman in A hero's tail. (Which is stupid too)

Arrows can fly far, But Hunter hardly pulled it back and it went STRAIGHT for over 200 metres. He must of Been a PRETTY GOOD BOWMAN to pull that off.

General Grevious Much? The Eyes are red, Signialing made of Lava. Also,you havnt mentioned How hunter Got the arrow in the eye before the head tirned. Or why the Golm didnt see the arrow comming. Or why A golem has nerves in the first place (I assume it wouldn't, Because nerves when smashing into bricks is a bit stupid. Or if you are made of Hot lava)

I know, But That doesnt mean a Cool character has to be replaced witha  boring one

It seemed like to me that the villiage was supposed to be something special. And Still, it only had like 5 Pieces of wood, i mean houses.

I dontr think so

EXACULY, they shouldnt unless they have the same look and personality, Otherwise theyll be stupid like Hunter

to Jay: I think you could loosen up a little. Ratchet didnt do anything wrong. all he did was express his opinion on why there shouldnt be any more old characters in the new games and, last I checked, thats what this topic was about right? theres no need to get *bleep*y about it. no offence meant man, just sayin ^_^

I can understand Ratchet's opinion really.  I guess the problem is that we grew up with two totally different Spyros.  I started playing Spyro around A Hero's Tail (late, close to Shadow Legacy), and I didn't get a chance to play the originals until close to The Eternal Night's release, so I never did understand why the first 3 were so good in the first place. 

To be honest, the first one kind of bored me a bit (I actually kind of cheated to get to Gnasty before my interest went to zero), the second one (Ripto's Rage) made me hold my interest, but not for a long time (I think I got to some castle with a green roof...I forgot if that was this game or the third one).  The third one...pretty long, but I can't remember where.

I guess the reason I kind of defend the Legend of Spyro series sometimes is because I honestly think it holds a lot of potential that's waiting to be unleashed.   I also admit, I tend to support certain things that keep getting bashed for certain reasons. 

I also hate to admit it, and no offense, but I get seriously tired of the whining and complaining about the newer games going like "My childhood is dead!" "Spyro's dead!" "People who like the new games are dumb!"  "Bring the originals back!"  and so-on, and so on.  I can understand people not liking the newer series, but ****hing about it never solves a thing.  I guess I just get tired of seeing that.

I personally think it would be nice to see some of the older characters returning.  I personally don't think their personalities would change that much, namely the Professor, Ember, Flame, and maybe even the guardians.  I guess I just try to find the resolutions Activision can do to mix up the styles, but still be...new.  That's just me though.

And like I've heard on another forum (a Sonic forum to be exact) - Going back to the classics will NEVER, EVER, EVER solve not one got-dang thing at all. 

My apologies though if I have sounded a bit...y'know.  Upset.  Like I said, I can understand Ratchet's opinions, but it kind of looked kind of...intense and...y'know.  I guess I got intense back.  Sorry.

They couldn't possibly keep Hunter's personality the same way in the LoS...yet at the same time the new Hunter was also flawed...but so was the old one. It all depends on what you look for in the characters and how they interact with the story at hand...and I think the new Hunter did that just fine. I would have liked if they included him in the story a bit more....but what are you gonna do now.

to Jay: I think you could loosen up a little.

No.

I dislike the new series enough already without further demolition of their personalities.

I will disagree with you on a few things.

1.) Dawn of the Dragon didn't really ruin his personality.  I actually like his serious tone since it fits the game.  If Hunter acted like how he originally did in Dawn of the Dragon, it would kind of screw things up.  At least he isn't THAT serious and ending up having a temper or something.  'Sides, Sparx is supposed to be the comedic relief of the series.

2.) Hunter is not a Gary Stu.  A Gary Stu is a male Mary Sue.  A character liked by others, completely flawless.  Hunter is no where near flawless.  He's been captured and injured before.  If he was "flawless," everyone would like him with no ifs, and, or buts about it.  Secondly, he would've been with Spyro and Cynder the whole time since he's flawless, it means he can take just about everything.   'Sides, we know about Spyro, Cynder, and Sparx's history, but not Hunter.  Saying he's a Gary Stu is kind of jumping the gun.

3.)  A bow and Arrow isn't just a piece of wood.  It all depends on what type.  Sure, it can be wood, but another common thing is that the tip of an arrow (the arrowhead) can be made of stone or certain types of metal.  Only the shaft of the arrow is basically wood (or plastic).  If Link from the Legend of Zelda series can kick tail with a Bow and Arrow, then who says Hunter can't.  Secondly, you'd be surprised how far an arrow can fly.  Also, asking what happens to his wings and stuff...yeah.

4.) Not EVERY single part of a Golem is made of Rock.  Sure, it's also molten lava, but you should know the eyes of just about any living creature is incredibly soft.  He has hard skin, not hard eyes.

5.) Every series have to have some kind of serious time here and there.  Even Mario has in a way.

6.) A village doesn't always have to be huge.  Maybe it's one of the smaller villages that there's more cheetahs in those areas.  We don't know the whole world, so it's kind of jumping to conclusions, again.

7.) I don't see your point about the raft really, but then again, I barely remember that part.   My guess...well, if I remember correctly, maybe it's because Spyro and Cynder had to carry him out to the raft.  I mean, it's possible.

I'll understand you don't like some of the stuff new series and all, but you don't have to get riled up about it.  This topic is basically about some of the older characters returning.  Not "How bad is the new Hunter."  Let's try not to get off topic, and I'll do the same.  You said what needs to be said, right?  I'm just asking.  I would like to continue with the thought of the older characters is all.

So...back to where we were...

I mean, what goodwould a bow and arrow do? Its just a bit of wood with a sharp edge on the end. Look at the way he uses it in DOTD. He doesn't even pull it back, but it flies 200 metres. He gets the golem RIGHT IN THE EYE, EVEN WHEN THE GOLEM TURNS ITS HEAD! And What is with the golem? why can it be harmed by a piece of Wood? The Bow and arrow will harm a human because Human are made of soft skin, We will feel pain, and the arrow stays in us when it goes into us. We also lose blood. the GOLEM IS A FIRE BEAST, WHY WOULD A LITTLE WOODERN ARROW HURT IT. Even in the EYE I would be surprised if it hurt it. Hunter's Bow and arrows should atleast be Elemental.

And yeah, you'd be serious too, but Spyro isn't meant to be serious. The TLOS series might of been an actual good IDEA if they did a parody of Stereotypic Dragon and Movie Games, That would have been awesome actually.

Since I feel like it, I'm just going to talk about 2 more Ploholes off the top of my head in DOTD

What is with the Cheetah's Villiage in DOTD? Seriously, Its just a few sticks. Its like something off survivor. There are only like 5 houses and the land they are living on is a quater of an acre. talk about endangered species! And THat cheetah in the cave, I forgot his name. HOw would a RAFT help? I mean, there wasn't even water in that cave?

I wish I could do a funny review of DOTD like The angry video game nerd, that would be awesome, But I dont have a funny voice, And I cant act. Owell, I guess ill just get the game dude to do it for me :]
