14:43 I BELIEVE IN TACO TUESDAY SUPREMACY
Wreaking ball:I love taco Tuesday!!!
I personally think that Spyro and Cynder in Skylanders are reincarnations of their LOS counterparts.
As much as Malefor's LoS design is the best in my opinion, I love the Skylanders' armored design, and hope any future renditions take that kind of look.
I agree!
Ah Skylanders Malefor.
I can't help but feel this version has more backstory and development.
In comics, that he is an undead king is shocking as hell, implying how he was a menace for his own kind as a zombie, but actually more like a revived soul conserving his deadly mindset.
Skylanders Academy version also is quite a wonderful villain, specially when you find out that he is CYNDER'S FATHER! Quite a twist of fanfic-esque thing turned canon.
And he also is a tactical warrior, getting to trick Spyro and Cynder, kidnap her and keep his desire to turn her into his heir.
Really, Malefor is such a wonderful, deep, dreadful, threatening and unique villain.
Skylanders Academy version it's my favorite, specially because he has something silly like TACO TUESDAY!
What other villain has that?! (Really, how many?)
Great video!
And, their design (both Legend and Skylanders) are so badass!
I don't know why, but the idea of Malefor being Cynder's father is an interesting idea the writers of Spyro 4 could really play around with.
You want give malefor a bad day, presumably get rid of Cynder right in front of him and tell him no cares About Tacos.
While I really like the Skylanders design for Malefor, I can't get over how in the TV show they made him Cynder's actual dad. That just feels so wrong on multiple levels.
Also, I feel like the comics might be referencing the theory of Skylanders being a sequel to Legend of Spyro. Perhaps Malefor has fought Spyro before, but it was Legends Spyro rather than the Skylander Spyro, and the Skylander versions of Spyro and Cynder are reincarnated versions of their Legend counterparts.
I was expecting him to appear and be alot like his Legend counterpart especially in his debut and introduction but no we got a typical dad who's not even threatening besides looks and I dont care if it's for children, I hate it.
@@artistanthony1007 it's netflix's fault for academy's weirdness
I believe that skylanders takes place after spyro dawn of the dragon. At the end of the game when the world is breaking apart Spyro uses all of his power to try and save the world. After he does this the land shown from the perspective of Sparx and the others has a close resemblance to the skylands. This could mean that Malefor is still alive because the end of the game shows a short clip of Malefor being sealed away. Spark turning the world into what resembles the skylands may having broken a part of his memory which is why Malefor remembers fighting him but not Spyro himself.
So Malefor like tacos.. so you think that counts as a weakness?
For me personally I think him and spyro must have done battle prior to his arrival at the skylands but he might has sustained an injury during that battle that has left him with no memory; but linking it to his deep knowledge that Cynder is good at heart not just a feeling but a faded memory..
I would love to see Malefor appear in the Reignited/classic series of games.
I've made a couple videos on my channel how he could possibly be used in a new Spyro game.
Thinking about what you said about Malefore being sort of built up in a series of games, I have a couple ideas of how he could tie into the existing series of games.
For Spyro 1, Gnasty Gnorc finds some sort of spell to turn gems into creatures as well as a green gem on his club turning all the dragons into crystal. What if the spell Gnasty finds originally belonged to Malefor? Or maybe the other dragons? I explain in my video that Malefor was sealed away by the elder dragons using the same spell Gnasty used.
Spyro 2, Ripto states he hates dragons. But we never find out why. Maybe Malefor is one of the reasons he hates dragons?
In Spyro 3, The Sorceress banished all the dragons to the other side of the world and wants to use the baby dragons wings for a spell to give her immorality. This might be a stretch, but what I have in mind is that the Sorceress feared Malefor's power and thought the other dragons would follow suit. Then years later she would attempt to take the baby dragons for their wings to use in a n immorality spell so that she could take on Malefor herself without worrying about getting killed herself. Once she would defeat Malefor, she would become the most powerful being as well as keep her looks!
....Idk these are mostly rough ideas I have for Malefor to fit into the Reignited/classic series. I'm sure you or someone else is typing a huge 5 paragraph essay on why I'm wrong, making me regret sharing my ideas in the first place.^u^;;
That is so awesome of you to come up with these ideas on how to bring them in
I clicked so fast I couldn't think this is amazing and I haven't seen it yet
Hope ya enjoy what is in the video, glad you’re excited for it though!
@@loreofthedragon I already love it I'm sooo glad I found your channel
Glad to hear it, glad you decided to watch!
@@loreofthedragon :3 also I have a question how did u think up how to make this channel
Honestly forgot to answer this, sorry! So, to make it short, I’ve been watching lore channels for other series like Halo and Destiny, and always wanted to make one. When I got into Spyro and it’s story, I thought I could take that idea and make something out of it. So, here we are today
I think they can have malefor be a leader of dragons that were banished from the dragon realms for practicing dark magic and have cynder be his daughter and have her be a rival for spyro since she was originally supposed to be the anti spyro
Malefor has to be the most interesting villain I hope he does show up in future games.
Malefor is the one from the Legend of Spyro and remembers both Spyro and Cynder, but their memories were fractured and shattered after they were reborn. Eon must of saved them by using powers.
I actually came up with a theory about Malefor's armor when the comic was released.
According by my theory, Count Moneybone, the main villain of 3DS version of Swap Force and another lord of undead, built Malefor's armor.
Crazy how strong Hex is in the lore
The “normal Skylanders” are called “Cores”! Possibly as a reference to the Core of Light, though obviously the Core of Light is protected by the rest of the Skylanders, too.
I really don't like what they did to him in Skylanders Academy, yes I understand it is for children but that doesnt change anything, I was expecting him to appear as another terrifying villain but no we just got an angry daddy who wants his child back.
So as far as we know the comics are actually canon to the games but that makes me wonder something else about that quote Spyro doesn’t really remember anything before becoming a skylander...how?
You forgot about the sorcerer.. look him up he looks exactly like Malefor..
Ok, i know this video was made like 3 yrs ago but im still going to post this comment even if it doesn’t get seen,liked or commented on. Because of what happened in the spyro game. When the world was some what destroyed by the destroyer, the world beneath was later on no longer a world with a core or fire and lava and rocks, instead it was just sky. An endless world of sky. Which could possibly mean that it IS skylands. So it isnt a different world. Its the same one but in a new era!

The line you’re bringing up involving metaphor sounds like it would be more than 2 let alone 3 different dimensions and if so what does Het and say if not only the timeline theory but the idea of the portals linking different worlds after all you got nasty Newark you got a ripto and now metaphor any other massive multi game, villain does that show up past the first 4 to 5 games over for PlayStation generations, would definitely hint at something big going on behind the scenes that the developers of sparrow are not willing to disclose
My version of malefor is a mix of legend of spyro and Skylanders and is not an undead dragon king.
Can you do Dark Spyro from both Legends of Spyro, Skylanders and Skylanders Academy, he is also one of Spyro's Arch-Enemies.
Umm there a issues it not spyro in 1998 so that the issue.
Wasn't this already uploaded?
Yes, but there were some things that needed changing, wanted to make sure everything was done correctly
@@loreofthedragon ok, ond we have a theory about him, we think he's Legend's Malefor sent to the Skylands by Legend's Spyro and Cynder's final attack...
Could maybe two about that someday, if you want to make an extended theory you could put it here or in the discord. Kind of interested in making a video about what this whole beyond Skylanders thing implies, so any ideas are welcome

The creator of the Skylanders comic confirmed in the Q&A that Skylander Malefor and Legends Malefor are not the same being.
Skylanders isn't in the same continuity as Legend of Spyro. Skylander Imaginators confirms that the Skylands were created by a race of brain tentacle creatures(the ancients) using mind magic. A survivor of said race acting as an antagonist further backs this up. Skylands was not the result of a cataclysm caused by Legends Malefor
