um yeah thats true, but im preeeeeeeeeety sure the makers of it were trying to give that impression (that he secretly loved her to)

Cos at the end, with the song at the credits, and the scene of them flying together... etc..

It's still not 100% canon unless he said he loved her back. It's easily assumed, of course, that it is, and I can see why people would think that.
The protecting doesn't prove much, because he would protect her as easily if she was just a friend (plus he was pretty much forced to protect her and save her anyway).

spyro growing up is fine with me in TLoS but in classic spyro... not really.

But definately in TLoS cos i reckon if the movie'd come out he woulda grown up in it!

I feel bad for you because of how true that is.
You should try and carry it on, though!

i could continue this. i had the perfect idea. but it would probably get a lot of hate because spyro would be grown up and everybody would be "ohmagod its so not spyro because hes big AHHHHHHH!" so im not sure if ill ever create it. but i really want to.
