Old or new bosses?

Hey i was wondering how many people prefer the old bosses(Ripto,Gnasty gnorc etc), to the new ones(Cynder,Assasin,The conductor etc.). If you post here please vote. Thank you for your contribution.

It would be nice if you offered us only one option. but owell.
The old bosses were much better in my opinion. Spyro 1's bosses were a sinch for most people, and not that good. But Spyro 2 and 3's bosses were awesome. I liked the variety, the powerup and the skill you had to put into them. and even though we've completed them many many times, they still offer a fun challenge.
TLOS's bosses, however are not as good, but ANB and TEN are different:
ANB: The bosses were easy, and not that fun. Dodge this button mash that. not that fun and not that challenging, or if it was it was just frustrating hard, not fun hard
TEN: bosses were much harder and you had to spend ages on each boss. THe bosses had cheapy moves, and could kill you in only a few hits. They were also recycled from ANB and only made a bit harder. Its like the makes said "Ok, they complained about it being too easy, so lets make it Hard *bleep*"
DOTD: Havn't played it yet.

Sorry for so much options this is my first poll, but i agree the new ones aren't as fun u don't need much skill except for dodging. The old were so much better red ripto

The ANB bosses were awful in my opinion. They're just... weird-looking. =/ And I hated that train one. Grrrr....

As for TEN, I never played it, but the assassin fight in particular looked very frustrating. I mean, moving side to side shooting fireballs? Not something I'd like to do.

Now, with the exception of Metalhead, Spyro 1's bosses were very simple; you just flame them a couple times and they're dead. But I liked how you had to work to get to the end of the level. Spyro 2 and 3 had the arena-style stuff, but it was fun figuring out each boss's weakness and how to use it to your advantage.

Plus, I liked their personalities, especially with SFRB and TSIF around to add to them. =P

I think that the old bosses were heaps better. I didn't like Spyro the Dragon's bosses that much, but they were better than TLOS at least. I really enjoyed Spyro 2's bosses because they had personality and were all fun to fight. I liked Spyro 3's bosses as well because they were also fun to fight against.

The original bosses are - and always will be - much cooler. I do like some of the TLoS bosses, but they're not fun. Not like Scorch or Dr. Shemp.
