Since Spyro was mentioned.... Hot take...

Skylanders wasn't bad?

I think it was genuinely one of those things that was overhated and underrated. The later games got ridiculous and silly, but I'd say the first 4 games, especially the first, were genuinely good games with cute lore and cool character designs.

Yeah Spyro was ugly but so was Legends Spyro. And Original spyro isn't exactly perfect looking... I feel like people had their nostalgia glasses on and felt it was "cool" to hate on Skylanders.

The reason I mention it were there were more dragons than Spyro, and I thought the other dragons had better designs than Spyro himself... Don't believe me? Look up Drobot. That was sick.

Cash grab? Yeah, but you genuinely didn't NEED every character.
