I like older Hunter better, in my opinion, he's more lighthearted while this Hunter's too serious.
This Hunter's okay though.

Hey, that is pretty reasonable.

Believe what you want, and that's quite reasonable. She should still have enough self control to see what she was doing, though. She hasn't been Malefor's slave in at least 3 years.

I knw that why did Cynder bait Spyro into going to Malafors place, but dont forget when they finally met, Malafor eaily took over Cynder and made her evil without breaking a sweat, so mabie in a way Malafor took over a bit of Cynders Brain, so she doesnt knw shes Leiring Spyro into the trap but she act is ( if u get what i mean), i may be over edzaguationg it all but smilie

Wait, Cynder DID know what she did after she came back, I thought?...
Or am I just missing your point?..

That's what she WAS like, crystalspyro. When she was corrupted.
She hasn't been corrupted for a while. She had plenty of self control. How in the world could she now know what she was doing until she met up with Malefor? If she did faint, or if she did realize what she did, then I'd believe you. But she didn't, thus it's still a point that should be accounted for.
