[@Bytezor8]

They really made Rayman a walking analogy for using mascots to hide foul play. Eden is shown to be oppressing people who stand against them, which especially include hybrids most working in conditions that are comparable to slaves. Rayman thought the whole time he was providing hope to everyone in Eden including his hybrid brethren so to learn the horrors that his face was being used to cover up, along with his outburst against Red’s blatant specism causing him to be replaced with another Rayman sent him into the extremes. If I had to give a real world comparison, it’d be like if Mickey was a real person and learned all the fucked up stuff Disney does.

[@helperb0t4]

Right?! That moment you find out that he's actually believes the propaganda with his whole heart actually made it so much worse. We all expected Rayman to be just another hollowed out celeb selling himself for money, but how much more tragic is it to find out that he had no clue how bad it was? Or that they were using his face to sell those lies? The rage he felt at the way other hybrids were being treated under his name is understandable; his transformation should be a joke (ha ha take kid character and make him edgy) but instead it comes from a really believe able place of emotion.

[@Milkyymia]

Exactly AND I LOVE IT

[@galaxycamerata]

This being done with a Ubisoft property, let alone so many of them all at once, is either a case of tone-deafness on the part of the company, or one of the boldest fucking rebellions on the part of the writers and animators i've seen in a while, based on how much creative freedom the writers were given. Ubisoft and multiple other companies had a HUGE fucking upset a few years ago due to the numerous sexual abuse allegations and abusive figureheads uncovered at Ubisoft, and their primary way of covering it up was releasing information on long-awaited titles to try and beat the bad press to the punch. The fact that Ramon realizes that he'd let his entire identity be dictated by his employers holding his life over their heads and deciding to reinvent himself from whole cloth into what he needs to be for the world to make sense anymore feels like a very loud and proud statement of "These ideas and everything good they represent exist in spite of the company that fund them."

[@hallacas1684]

​@@calamariknight481that's what I'm talking about

[@kosaba11]

I mean, the rest of the show isn't as good as the Rayman bits, aside from Bullfrog. The story is rushed, with six episodes basically speed running through two seasons. The story of the first three episodes should've been the whole season, with shit getting expanded upon, but instead we got a rush revenge plot, multiple things being done offscreen (The Rabbid kaiju, the first part of Bullfrog versus Alex's minions, Dolph versus the Niji 6, Rayman killing the Templars, etc.), plot points being dropped (Like the interdimensional gun just disappearing, who Alex was working for, etc.), and several of the deaths just not landing. Jade and Pey'j's deaths just weren't sad, and seemed to be heavily relying on people knowing who they were beforehand. If you didn't know they were from Beyond Good and Evil, then they're just the hot reporter chick and her somewhat creepy pigman uncle who had the hots for her. And you only get to know Jade for an episode, and Pey'j for two episodes before they're killed in what felt like a metaphor for Ubisoft axing the Beyond Good and Evil franchise. Alex, as a villain, fails when his motivations just don't make sense. His entire plan was peace through hate. If his story was done over the whole season, his plan could've been expanded upon to at least make sense, since they were going for a sympathetic route for his motivations. And the twist at the end with Sarah Fisher was just too obvious to be a good twist. She spent the whole series as a villain, so her revealing herself to actually be a villain was just like, "Yeah, we know".

It was a good touch having Rayman make use of his ability to literally throw his hands like that. Honestly this is pretty well done. "Raymone" was tastelessly edgy but somehow didn't pull me out of the story. The message of being treated like a replaceable product and not a person is a very real thing. His reactions to what happened to him and how he wants to stand up for what's right make sense.

[@hafirenggayuda]

Also, not many mention this, but while he massacre the board members, he just knock down the (relatively innocent) guard. He may angry, but likely still avoid needless killing

Pretty sure "Raymone" is a reference to Shadow the hedgehog, it's purposefully edgy as a joke.

[@raymondfisheriii791]

It’s also especially interesting if you know the etymology of the name. From the sound of the pronunciation, it’s a clear play on “Ramon” which is actually a Spanish version of “Raymond”. Both names, as a result, actually translate to “Defender”, “Counselor”, or “He who defends through council” specifically in some variations of translation. So considering his whole arc was him trying to be an anchor to act as a beacon of hope for all hybrids, even the name manages to still keep in character with his motives and beliefs

If Rayman hadnt stopped fighting for a long time he would have put up a MUCH better fight against Red. Rayman canonically beat a gang of space pirates that enslaved over 100,000 lives, shook an entire constellation, can punch people so hard that they explode, but after he left his dimension he seemed to have gotten sloppy, forgetting that he is indeed supposed to be a hero with great power. Poor rayman :c

[@basilofgoodwishes4138]

My headcanon is that this story takes place in Rayman's past, before he became a hero. Captian Laserhawk is set in 1992, so before Rayman 1 by 3 years exactly. You can see that by his inability to fight properly and the fact that he is rather young here. He also doesn't know how to fly and after Rayman 3 and the Raving Rabbids game, Ubisoft tried to tell an origin story of Raymans with Rayman 4 being initially conceived as a reboot for the franchise and his origin story. Probably the series would then end with him leaving Earth and going back to Dimension X and life amongst his own in peace until Origins, Legends and Rayman 1 begins!!!

[@StrawberryMilkshaykez]

@basilofgoodwishes4138 @basilofgoodwishes4138 That would make sense if Rayman Origins didn't Thanos snap everything out of existence and made him a hero from the moment he had been born after Betilla crafted him out of lums. We also see that Young Rayman in this show literally goes to college and graduates, suggesting this guy is older than any other Rayman we've seen. I would have agreed with you if I didn't see Betilla literally craft him out of lums in a cutscene. But I think that could also be the case because he DOES look young, but raymans history has ALWAYS been reconned literally all the time and its all over the place 😭

[@ianchung9709]

I wasn't so sure at first about how they took Rayman's character when I started the series. It felt like every other "childhood character you love is now adult and obscene" trope we see in modern media. But as the series went on, I actually really began to love the writing of him, and the path they were going for. Being a "Hybrid", Rayman is considered part of a largely discriminated minority, and was struggling before being made into Eden's mascot. It's shown that he had been greatly dehumanized in the process, becoming a shill for all of Eden's lies and propaganda. But some of his humanity persists, most notably shown when he protests against Niji Red's active racism towards "interdimensional alien scum," and when he privately tries to justify his actions to the Board of Directors. The "racial minority used by a company and turned into a corporate super-star" story is a sadly realistic one, and is thankfully being touched on more in the present with shows like this and The Boys (take A-Train in season 3, for example). Did I ever think Rayman was going to be one of these examples? Never in my life. Am I loving it every second of the way? Yes. Releasing Rayman's character by letting him get back at his abusers and off the entire Board of Directors was not only insanely satisfying to see, but it also greatly builds up interest for what comes next. Admittedly, giving Rayman a trenchcoat, twin tommy guns, slicking back his hair and changing his name to "Ramon" was a little silly, but that's what I love about this show. It finds a good balance between story-driven, violent action and goofy humor, something other adult-oriented shows fail to do. I can't wait for the next season!

[@jackislegitterrified3689]

He's not a hybrid, he's literally an alien from another dimension

[@galaxycamerata]

@@jackislegitterrified3689 That's _also_ part of the point. When racism is involved, racists don't exactly care where you came from, only where you LOOK LIKE you came from. In terms of the show, people don't see "Pigman, cowgirl, weird limbless alien" They see "Three hybrid freaks" Even with whatever they have going on for his doppelganger, they never bothered to put any behind-the-scenes way of telling Rayman apart from his replacement, so he's able to schmooze on past the guards to talk with Bullfrog by just falling back into his stage persona, which he'd been refining for YEARS.

[@enriquejoseantequerasanche6180]

I agree with the general sentiment, and I agree that the "minority getting exploited for good faith credit" is sadly too common a story, but I gotta say: Don't expect anything good from The Boys. The original story had supers of every race and creed, showing off that anyone can be evil, that they made A-train the "poor black man exploited for the corporation to show off as non-racist" is ironically an example of this, they already had a heroic black man in Mother's Milk instead of giving the minority villain a "but he's not evil though" arc.

Rayman here is such a good character. He's not just some asshole who grew an ego and became blind to the situation. He was fed the exact same lies and flase hoods as everyone else. When Red called him out you can see it genuinely upset him and he was right to be angry. But one mistake, one moment of genuine emotion, one line off script. Completely replaced. You can see him literally go through the five stages of grief so fast too. Denial at losing his place, anger at being replaced, bargaining to get his job back, depression of how he was actively involved in the current state of the world and acceptance at reality that his life is over but he can still make a difference by saving a single life. But the sad part is that it was still manipulation. Sara fisher was no doubt the one who sent that message given her speech in the last episode. In the end Rayman was always a pawn. A tool. Just in the hand of a different person. Edit: Actually thinking back the denial part makes more sense for him denying reality and feeding lies to people. That makes more sense now that I think about it but forgot to change it before posting the comment.

I feel like keeping most of it the same but giving him more of the jaded and unhinged personality we see in the show and sparks of hope.

[@theonewhowrotethis5681]

I'd rather they avoid Conkering him out. The settings in Rayman's franchise and Captain Laserhawk are drastically different, so it wouldn't feel right to change up the main Rayman to make him like Captain Laserhawk's Rayman (even though Rayman was a highlight in the show like he usually is [especially that floating hand takedown scene starting at 4:23]). Crossovers allow for anything to happen, but the original series shouldn't be influenced by this crossover due to drastically different tones between the two properties. Part of the Rayman charm is the fantastical elements, great art design, solid momentum mechanics, solid sense of humor (even being able to slip in some adult humor in an E-rated game like Rayman 3), and the contrast between the whimsical inhabitants of Rayman's World and the villains of each game. Making Rayman himself lose his whimsical nature by making him have a Conker's Bad Fur Day wouldn't be the best when taking the rest of the series into context. Razorbeard enslaving most of the population in Rayman 2: The Great Escape is dark, but Rayman was viewed as being the good natured ray of hope within the darkness of that game (like he is in the other titles). Making Rayman become the dark (like Mr. Dark, Razorbeard, André, etc.) would be out of character for him in his own franchise. It worked for Conker as CBFD was only his 2nd starring game and 3rd overall appearance in a game. He originally appeared in Diddy Kong Racing (1997), but he also starred in Conker's Pocket Tales (1999) before having CBFD in 2001. As such, Conker only existed for less than half a decade before having an M rated title. Rayman, on the other hand, has had a bunch of games since 1995 (even though he's on break besides the Sparks of Hope DLC and various re-releases), so he's already established to a certain degree. Changing the tone of his series to make the next new game after a decade of no new games be a CBFD would be a BIT too drastic.

So uhh, a bit of explanation and spoilers: Rayman here is a refugee from Dimension X who lived in Eden after the Rabbids destroyed his homeworld. Now, Rabbids here are not the tiny, annoying pranksters we know; they're eldritch abominations the size of houses. Now stuck in this new world, Rayman has grown a fondness for the animal-humanoids known as Hybrids despite the general discrimination towards them, mostly because he suffered that same prejudice despite working his way up and getting a proper education. His potential was recognized by Eden's top brass and hired him as their reporter and spokesperson, but over time, the various atrocities unfolding before him ate away at his sanity. At the apex of it all, Niji 6's Red, Eden's top hero, acted as a complete discriminative prick on live TV, causing him to cuss him out also on live TV. Eventually, the top brass fired Rayman for his outburst and replaced him with a replica, causing him to snap. A mysterious message on his TV told him to seek out Bullfrog for answers, but the latter only shows hard proof that Eden was only using Rayman to hide their atrocities and the damage he's done from his work as a voice for Eden, as well as the horrible future if he continues his actions. Overcome by guilt and a desire for revenge, he arms up and slaughters the entire top brass himself, from codenames Alpha to Omega. Sigma is spared because she's actually Sarah Fisher, the main antagonist, who was absent during Rayman's rampage.
