Skylanders is a reboot, that's why. LoS Spyro has nothing to do with Skylanders Spyro.

People almost always complain for the sake of it, even if they don't have a reason to (some LoS fans have little reason to complain about the Classics, may I remind everyone).

What i dont get, People compalin about the upadated Spyro games, saying 'They should of continued with the original theme, EG, collecting gems from floors, going in protals'..... Just say it did go that way so there was no LOS or Skylanders, then people would stil be complaining saying, 'Its getting to old now', 'Its ran its course' and all that. People only complain for the sake of it smilie.... Sorry for the longggggggggggggg Update smilie

yeah even if he did come back, i still think that was a good enough ending.. smilie


but like seriously if there was another game with malefor in it i would have been like "aww common we just killed him!! give us a break smilie " etc.

I would've thought it did combine with nature or do something, since I thought those dragon spirits who imprisoned him would've made sure he couldn't come back?
Don't know, though...

#10025 foxishsolitude 05:36:25 27/02/2012
awww yeah i didn't think of dat!! :/

but actually i think he meant the spirit combines with nature, so Malefor couldn't have come back, i reckon...

#10024 spyroatwarfang 05:14:53 27/02/2012
but they could make another game cos ignitus said that when a dragon dies
its spirit lives on so does that mean thats the same for malofor?:/
