Do You Think Ignitus is Spyro's Father?

Cynder794 · Jul 08, 2008 3:59 PM

Well, I want to know... Do you think Ignitus is Spyro's father? This poll would get a big yes from me!

cyndercroatia · Jul 08, 2008 4:32 PM

Yes for me! (short post)

Reivan · Jul 08, 2008 11:29 PM

sorry but no. it would be too cliche, too, well, i dunno but no

dragon protector x · Jul 09, 2008 12:06 AM

Not really....Because Ignitus would have acted alot more differently when he first say Spyro...

RadSpyro · Jul 09, 2008 1:49 AM

Ditto to DPX. I think it would be a little farfetched if he turns out to be so.

TheManiacOnWheels · Jul 09, 2008 6:28 AM

Ah to heck with it. Yes, I think he's his father. And they have a strong bond anyway.
I really don't care for reasons such as 'it's too cliche' (what's wrong with cliche?). Let Spyro have some family for once, it's not gonna kill the series by revealing it. I actually it'd make a nice scene between the two of them.

Cynder794 · Jul 09, 2008 2:21 PM

Do I smell a debate? If so, I'm in on it!

Ignitus's #1fan · Jul 09, 2008 7:27 PM

My vote? HECK YEAH!

To those who keep complaining about it being "too cliche"... oh please, SxC also REEKS of clicheness, and hardly anyone complains.

As for why Ignitus didn't "act" the right way when he met Spyro - who says that he's aware that Spyro is his son? For all we know, his mate didn't tell him and hid the fact that they had a child so that he wouldn't be distracted from his duty to protect all the eggs. Perhaps the Chronicler would tell him - after all, the Chronicler had many books to read there, so perhaps he read Ignitus's book. So it wouldn't be so cliche if it was revealed the right way. I'm actually planning to write out that idea sometime(I'm a fanfic writer).

Plus, why would they introduce a completely new, undeveloped character to be Spyro's father when they already have a well-developed character who fits the role perfectly?

Above and beyond all this, if he's NOT Spyro's father, it doesn't matter who is. They still have a father-son bond, and that matters more than biological relation. Try reading this fanfic I wrote:
http://ignitus1992.deviantart.com/art/R … r-80452873
Ignitus is Spyro's dragon father - whether he's his *biological* or *adoptive* dragon father, we shall see. But no dragon will ever replace Ignitus as Spyro's dragon dad. The bond is there, and nothing else matters. For those who deny that their bond exists, bear in mind that This Broken Soul was a song about Ignitus and Spyro's bond - I rest my case.

Also... does anyone realize that they look way too similar to not be related? Their horn style is exactly the same, their body shape is exactly the same, and Spyro even learned fire breath first. They also have the same sense of responsibility, and other aspects of their personalities match as well. That's a bit too many similarities to be a coincidence.

I was just waiting for you to say that big_smile .
To Cynder794: There'll be a debate, trust me >_>.

spyromaster330 · Jul 11, 2008 5:44 AM

I think that Ignitus is his father. I hope he is anyway.

Cynder7 · Jul 11, 2008 1:56 PM

There IS a chnce the Dark Master is his father...*sighs*
I hope not...

Ignitus's #1fan · Jul 11, 2008 9:41 PM

NO, there isn't. What do people not get about the "Once every ten generations" rule? It's impossible for the dark master to be Spyro's father. The dark master was sealed away in Convexity long before the current guardians were even born, let alone Spyro. So it is impossible for the DM to be Spyro's father. Actually, Spyro's parents can't be purple dragons either. Ignitus is really the only possibility at this point, and if he isn't the one, then by all means Spyro's "real" dragon parents may as well be dead, because Ignitus will still be Spyro's dragon dad(adopted, yes, but still his dragon dad). I'm probably repeating myself but I don't care, I'm remaining firm on this issue, no matter what smile !

TheManiacOnWheels · Jul 11, 2008 11:25 PM

Well, we actually don't know how long Spyro had been in his egg for...but yeah, it is pretty much impossible for him to be his father. I support Ignitus in this issue...and pretty much any other similar one wink .

ratchet · Jul 12, 2008 4:53 AM

Its a possibility, Sierra are probably going to make it that away just because they like cliches. but i do think that its wayyyyy too cliche, so is SxC.

TheManiacOnWheels · Jul 12, 2008 9:17 AM

What the heck does everyone have against cliches?

Fletch_Talon · Jul 12, 2008 9:50 AM

It'd just be nice to see something different for once i guess. There are a great deal of stories out there where the male lead meets a female character who becomes a close companion to him, then at the end, when everyone is happy again they get together and live happily ever after.

I applaud Harry Potter for straying from that cliche, sure, Harry and Hermione could have ended up together (despite the fact they had no chemistry and it was obvious from book 2/3 that Ron and Hermione were getting closer) but instead Harry ends up with Ginny, who really didn't play a major part in any books (even in The Chamber of Secrets she was pretty much just a pawn).

ratchet · Jul 12, 2008 10:00 AM

OOC: I could see ginny comming from a mile away. I mean, i dont read the books but just the expression on her face when she first saw Harry, i knew they were going to turn it into a romance between them.

Ignitus's #1fan · Jul 12, 2008 8:51 PM

Why is it cliche? Predictable, yes. But cliche? Spyro and Ignitus have a father-son bond, which happens often in epic stories. That's not a cliche so much as a common plot element. There's a difference. If father-son bonds are now considered cliches, then I'm afraid that there's no hope for people like me who actually LIKE to see father-son bonds in stories.

Was Dumbeldor Harry Potter's biological father? Nope.

Was Obi Wan what's-his-name's father? Nope.

So how is it cliche? The father figure character never seems to end up being the actual father as well.

And like I said... does it matter if they're related? It doesn't, because they still share the father-son bond, and that matters MUCH more than the actual relation in the end. That's what people don't want to get, and I'm afraid I know exactly what I'm talking about due to my experience with my own father. Ignitus is Spyro's dragon dad no matter what - it's just a question of whether he's his biological dragon dad or adopted dragon dad.

TheManiacOnWheels · Jul 13, 2008 8:48 AM

Exactly. And...was that a shortened version of the father-son speech by any chance? big_smile .

Misa · Jul 13, 2008 12:06 PM

Yes. I do think Ignitus is Spyro;s father. It would make sense. He is the closest to Spyro.

ratchet · Jul 13, 2008 12:08 PM

its just annoying that ignitus is spyro's father, i'd like something unpredictable please.

Ignitus's #1fan · Jul 13, 2008 1:10 PM

To Aang: Yes, shortened version tongue .

To Misa: You forgot to submit your vote big_smile .

To Ratchet(saving the worst for last) : If you say that, that means that either a) you're heartless, b) you have no appreciation for anything vaguely meaningful, c) you have no appreciation for father-son bonds or parent-child bonds in general, or d) you're a grade-A Insomniac fanboy who is against anything and everything that has to do with the new series. I'll go with e) all of the above.

Firstly - since when is stuff like that supposed to be unpredictable? Tell me which Disney movie(all of them were meaningful) had an unpredictable ending. None. The movie "Rain Man", which is arguably one of the best movies EVER, had a predictable ending. However, and this was said by a critic as well if memory serves me right - it was what happened along the way, how the bond between the main characters was developed, that made it meaningful. It didn't matter that the ending was predictable. The same goes for Ignitus and Spyro's bond - so far, I see that their bond has been developed well, and it's actually the part of the series that I'm most interested in, and hopefully DotD will develop that bond even more. And at the end, when the time comes for it to be revealed, it could be revealed in some sort of great way. Perhaps it'll be a scene that'll make anyone smile, or something. Predictable isn't bad if it's done right. Only someone completely dense wouldn't realize that.

And need I remind you that everything from A to Z in the old series was predictable, yet you never whine your butt off about that -_-.

To everyone who is voting "NO" - don't tempt me to bombard this thread with a truckload of adorable Ignitus-Spyro father-son drawings/fanfics tongue .

Thankyou for the personal insult smile
But really, I would like more mystery to it than Igntus being the father, i'd rather if he'd just stay a father figure. Not to mention that it would be just totally unbelievable, Ignitus, the head dragon quardian was the one who concieved the purple dragon who is going to save the day. He also happens to be one of the dragons that survived (or didn't hide underground).

Ignitus's #1fan · Jul 13, 2008 2:10 PM

You're very welcome. smile Glad to hear you like a taste of your own medicine. Don't'cha just love sarcasm?

Okay, first you said it's predictable, now you say it's unbelievable? Can't make up your mind much? Actually, it's quite believable. Is it just me, or is it possible that Ignitus was looking at Spyro's egg lovingly at the beginning of ANB? If that's so, then they've been hinting at it from the very beginning, haven't they? And so what if he's a guardian and was one of the dragons who survived?

If Ignitus isn't Spyro's father, then Spyro's "real" father is most likely dead.

And, do I need to repeat myself? If Ignitus isn't Spyro's biological father, it doesn't matter who is. Ignitus will still be his dragon father, only adopted. That's how a father-son bond works. Sorry, but whether you like it or not, they share a strong bond, and to Spyro, Ignitus will never be replaced by any other dragon. Try reading this fanfic (I'm sure you won't, but hey, worth a shot, eh?) : http://ignitus1992.deviantart.com/art/R … r-80452873

And what's the point of introducing a completely new, undeveloped, pointless character to be Spyro's father when Ignitus fits the role perfectly?

And furthermore, what about This Broken Soul? Isn't that evidence enough of their bond?

Sorry, but again, whether you like it or not, Ignitus is Spyro's dragon dad. No dragon will ever replace Ignitus as Spyro's dragon dad, because the actual bond matters much more than biological relation. If you can't accept that and are against it, that just means you have no appreciation for father-son bonds. Then again, most kids these days don't appreciate good parents - after all, you don't know what you have until you've lost it. Or in my case, you utterly lack something and wish all your life that you had it.

I suggest you give it up. I'm never giving in on this matter and we're just going to butt heads till you get sick of arguing and give up anyway. So why don't we save both of us the trouble and wait till DotD when all those who voted "no" will eat humble pie? (hopefully >.> )

TheManiacOnWheels · Jul 13, 2008 11:29 PM

The only thing I can question is the part about him looking lovingly at the egg; it was the egg of the purple dragon of prophecy who was going to put an end to the death and suffering, who wouldn't love it? (Save for the DM).
Everything else, pure win. big_smile .
