It would be amazing if she was evil, but they somehow got stuck together and you could play as darkcynder! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!

@Thunderdragon.

I am not an "All-time-TLOS-defender" I am just trying to say that it is offensive becuase it is hard for activision to get hold of some good people! and is not activisions fault that Cynder couldent have been evil throughout the game series because they lost lots of there hosts and voice actors.

U cant have like a really muscular evil character that wants to shred us alive with a very small and caring voice can u?

When I saw the release of DOTD I thought that Cynder would somehow turn against him in the end, and it would have all been a trap, and so he would have to defeat both Malefor and Cynder, I thought something like that would happen.

Evil Cynder was the most interesting character in the whole series. What they should of done is make her betray Spyro, that would improve it's mediocre story.

Lemme guess, another all-time-LoS-defender *facepalm*

@SSF

I wish Cynder just stayed evil throughout the whole series of LoS.
