Bash and flashwing’s relationship almost has a wall-e and eve dynamic to it

[@Blaze-hopper]

After hearing about flashwing I can confidently say she is a tsundere so bash has a love story with a tsundere.......lucky chump

[@kradoryps7109]

If you think Enigma's story was tragic, you should look into Dino-Rang, Voodood, and maybe even Chop-Chop, a LOT of Skylanders have some pretty messed up stuff in them, like how Sunburn was always on the run from people who wanted to harvest his body for spells. Maybe a video on Skylander tragedies?

[@Elgi72]

Dino Rang was also not from Skylands.

[@Wiz-w]

Magna charge’s backstory is tragic

[@ISS600s2ndChannel]

We need this. The amount of sad stories these Skylanders have is high enough for a very good video.

Fun fact reason characters have 3 fingers is to make them easier to animate, it's a common thing in animation

[@cristalmewtwo4160]

Yeah same with cartoon characters having 4 fingers because with 5 they looked wrong and we're difficult to animate for the early 20th century

[@patrickkirchner2254]

I can't help but notice that most skylanders were recruted. Are there any who weren't? As in, joined the skylanders without being invited or forced to join?

[@silvignis2028]

As far as I'm aware my girl Sonic Boom chose to. At least her backstory implies that she chose to join after what happened to her babies

[@Joe-yx1gq]

​@@silvignis2028 Same Goes for Drobot He Also Chose to be a Skylanders by Requested the Offer to Eon Himself

[@TheMiningMeteor]

If memory serves, I’m pretty sure Aurora joined while eon (her uncle) actively didn’t want her to. Like he was worried about her safety or something.

[@soulcyclone360]

I believe Cynder joined after her confrontation with Spyro, after he requested her to since she wasn't with Malfore anymore

[@mathewwatson-FireGem21]

I always liked star cast, dude just looked so awesome but yeah I've been very curious on just where he comes from and like you said, he and star strike literally look similar so maybe they are from the same species but this species differs between the genders or star cast was just born like this and happened to take up martial arts while star strike became a sorceress! Either way, it's nice they both became Skylanders and not gonna lie, I honestly wanna see these theories animated, it definitely sounds like it would be a good and funny animation to help show what happened during the stories! 😁

[@RodrigoPereira-ws8ok]

When you say you want them animated, what exactly do you have in mind?

[@mathewwatson-FireGem21]

@@RodrigoPereira-ws8ok like either as a comic animated style or even sfm animations, something like those I guess

[@RodrigoPereira-ws8ok]

@@mathewwatson-FireGem21 I was moreso asking about the contents themselves, what stories in specific you think would be cool. I might animate something once I have the time.

Sexual dymorphism.

[@Lexie-nc2vl]

I once again ask for Roller Brawl to be covered. She is too cool to not be covered man.

[@Candjstudios2024]

Fun fact: everyone really hates roller brawl. I'm not joking. People thought he was cool back in swap force, but then when she stole the supercharger spot from chop chop who was originally going to get it, everyone hated her. Now she's one of the least popular Skylanders.

[@ruzma3927]

If I had a nickel...(yadda yadda)...Eon inadvertently brought a being into existence twice (Starcast and Spotlight) Clearly, it's just something he can do, I guess! Starcast and Enigma are so cool, dude...

[@AveragealienWhocosplays-gj2tg]

I think a good skylander to go over would be stealth elf. She has had a billion different masters, some of which aren’t even apart of the life element or have anything to do with stealth. Also for my question: how were you introduced to the skylander franchise

[@machincort]

she onely had 3 forester who taught her how to be in nature and use nature's powers cami flage who taught her: camoflage and master king pen who taught her how to use blades

[@_nightshade_gaming4792]

Best skylander lore ytuber ever

[@Ellee999]

Shroomboom quite possibly the most wacko boingo origin story

[@Candjstudios2024]

Once upon a time there was a pizza topping. Evil bald man want to eat pizza topping. Pizza topping no want be eat by bald man. Pizza topping and Friends escape. Pizza topping have magic curved shooting stick. Pizza topping become funny hero man. Pizza topping beat up bad guys and be awesome. Pizza topping be one of least popular characters in Skylanders Giants. Pizza topping be sad. Pizza topping get repose. Pizza topping happy.

[@jeremyetremblay6663]

Maybe star cast and star strike’s species are different depending on the gender like peacocks for example

[@Blakewyattdunfee]

Sexual dymorphism.

[@user-jd5fc2jz9n]

Dinorangs backstory always made me want him as a kid, nit being from skylands seemed so cool

[@jcj268]

Fun fact: Flashwing is voiced by Tara Strong

[@Poken305]

"She's probably not going to admit that she likes him, because she probably sees it as admitting defeat" *Kaguya-sama love is war theme intensifies*

[@jotacatalan]

Another video could be something about Skylanders with unlikely relationships. Bash and Flashwing is one of them but there is also terrafin who dig out drill sergeant and became his "master" and diveclops with eye brawl who are actually brothers

[@whitemage34]

Talk about Hammer Slam Bowser-Turbocharged D.K-Crash & N Cortex the crossovers

[@Pan-Pafel]

i love how he showed skylanders from different games and gave almost 0 spoilers

[@abthedragon4921]

Hey there, I saw one of your Skylanders backstory videos in my recommended and I binged through them. I was a major player of the Skylanders game back in the day and KZbinrs still covering the lore of the franchise aren't as common as they used to be, so these videos were really fun to watch. If you make any more, I'll be sure to check them out!

[@Candjstudios2024]

You missed every single Mini. And from what we know about him it's possible trigger happy is from a different universe too. And template template because he is technically Canon in a way... If you want to include template template as a Canon character, since he made a very very quick cameo in a comic book, then he's technically from an alternate dimension as well, because his 'Canon' backstory is that he's from an alternate dimension. There's also a few scrapped Skylanders who fit the bill, for example rocket chomper would become part of this, since rocket chomper is canonically the chompy from mirror of mystery. (Is backstory is that since he's a chompy in the mirror of mystery he becomes good so he decided to become a Skylander. He now fights evil with teeth and missiles)

[@memetan_24]

It's crazy to me that flashwing is canonically a tsundere 💀

[@Joe-yx1gq]

Mabye Lore with Chop Chop and Shroomboom Cause if I Remember in One Of Original Skylanders Giants Commercial they mentioned that they where best Friends or Best Buddy's but was that really true or just something Comedy form the Video

[@Enigmatic_ssf]

Enigma my beloved

[@arturomontemayor5781]

Did you guys know that Eyebrawl is two kings who fused together? The body is a headless vampire I think and the head is a giant flying eyeball.

[@h1h122]

Really? Is the source his wiki page?

[@potatoofmemes]

On the note of the "three fingers and a thumb" bit, every skylander ranges from 4 total fingers to no fingers, Most skylanders stick with 4 fingers. Funny thing is, we've never had a skylander with 5 fingers. Not even Eon, Kaos, or even the mabu have 5 fingers. (Seriously, no characters at all have 5 its crazy)

[@terrariaco8301]

Something about Enigma. There is a game called Magicka that has playable characters that look just like him. I doubt its actually any connection, but I found it interesting.

[@NoahBridgesSonicLord]

Flashwing was the comet crashing down a valley?

[@_antisocialmedia6377]

my personal headcanon for Star Strike and Starcast is they come from a parallel dimension of sorts, where the races we know of in Skylands have these cosmic clones, why do I think this? Well they obviously look similar but have very drastic differences in design... but take a closer look, Star Strike uses a very similar fighting style and even weapon to Blade Witches, an enemy from the first game, and, most notably, a Drow, while Starcast very clearly looks like a Yeti, four arms with hair? Only yetis have that distinction, they're cosmic parallels of in-game races we know, there's probably a Star Shark out there that's a cosmic landshark

[@ISS600s2ndChannel]

A good Skylander to have is Wham-Shell, and maybe others with Troll-related encounters. A big note however is that Wham-Shell is either a PRINCE or a KING. I know that in books (such as the Book of Elements: Fire and Water, and the Official SSA Sticker Book) he's stated to be a PRINCE but on his page, he's a KING. (Caps is just for emphasis; I can't make the italics work for some reason.)

[@GokhanAras-pj1mm]

Whamshell is a king,Zap is a prince from a another water kingdom

[@ISS600s2ndChannel]

@@GokhanAras-pj1mm Wham-Shell's current status is up for dispute. But yeah, Zap is a prince. Surprised they never followed up on that at all.

The arkeyans would be a great topic to cover as they have a pivotal role in the universe of skylanders and some skylanders (e.g Drill Sergeant, Chop Chop & Krypt King) have connections to them as well. As for the Q & A, what is your favourite and least favourite skylander?

[@metalrex2480]

I like to think that Enigma and Double trouble are somewhat related, i mean two skylanders with hidden face and blue skin that can use magic with a big staff because their element is magic… I know it’s stupid but the similarities are there
