Why Skylanders Academy Is Unironically Good

This video got copyright claimed so much.

[@I_aint_active_no_more]

It actually makes sense why Bad Breath was never a real Skylander, because when Persephone upgrades skylanders, it always leaves them with minty fresh breath

[@superethangaming4941]

Why are you here?!?!

[@orckingi1208]

I watched episodes of Skylanders Academy and I think it is a great way to not just "bring your Skylander to life," it also shows some backstory to some of the Skylanders you play as in the games. You also see Skylanders from the entire franchise interact with each other. It is one of the best kid shows based on games I have ever seen. I hope they make more games for Skylanders and maybe a sequel show of Skylanders Academy.

[@Kingofportals]

Glad to see you back for season 2!!! Gill Grunt should have been in the show along with Chop Chop and Trigger Happy, they could have been main characters! R.I.P. to the Glumshanks actor!

[@fieryduoandfriends4085]

Skylanders academy was actually pretty good on rewatch and actually hoping for another season after where it left off from.

[@aspiringdiamond]

I think Stealth Elf and Pop are the best Skylanders in the show (The best character is Kaos overall)

Spyro could have been even more interesting if Eon and Spyro see each other as father and son. Spyro realizes that he is Kaos's adoptive brother.

I find it odd that they decided to replace krankcase with broccoli guy as the 6th doom raider and they didn’t even keep his original voice and personality which I kinda liked. And Krankcase could given a lot more material for the doom raiders to work with and make them seem like a genuine threat. Also for a show that had its main villains be based on trap team they showed almost no aspects of it, like there were only 2 trap masters, they didn’t mention traps at all, and Buzz and mags were entirely absent Also Cali wasn’t there! Why would you take her out when she and Flynn could’ve made a great duo? Also Flynn just looked god awful and nothing like any of his game designs, also golden queen looked weird to and kinda lackluster in both design and in personality which is kinda ironic given the character But on a positive note, it’s Spyro design was a lot better than in the game, Norm as Glumshanks was cool (R.I.P. you will be missed), and some scenes were pretty funny

When I watched skylanders academy, I was originally just watching it as a joke and was expecting for it to be just a cheesy kid show, and the only reason I watched it was because, well, I liked skylanders, and well it was ALOT BETTER than what I was expecting. And yes, while I did make fun of it for being cringy and stupid, I somehow came out really liking it. I felt like almost nothing was gained and was super childish, but it had its good moments. The second season was solid funny but was kinda meh. But the THIRD SEASON, I literally rewatched it three times. The third season had the best of everything, and definantly was the best season. A pattern I realized was the more the series went on, the better it got, which makes me really wonder what another season could’ve been like. In conclusion, I came in expecting a bad show, and was pleasantly surprised.

Seasons ranked 3. Season 3: Most of the episodes were basically filler episodes, maybe if they ended the Dark Spyro arc earlier there would be more set up to the finale 2. Season 1: it was a good way to start the show but I think the action was the weakest in this season 1. Season 2: We got a lot more characters and saw some returning characters, its mainly the story is the reason why I like it, the different point of views and the characters goals.

I also wanted this series to give us more insight on skylander lore,yes I know it takes place in another universe from the main games but that doesn’t mean they can’t do it.and the fact that they made Flynn into a living meme is just horrible,but overall,it’s a good show, just don’t feel like it’s a skylander one

[@WatermelonMonty]

Skylanders Academy was what kinda got me back into Skylanders back in 2018 (even though late 2021 was when I fully got back into Skylanders). I quite enjoyed the show and it was pretty good, but I feel that it had quite a lot of mispotential and misopportunities in my opinion. Characters like Gill Grunt, Terrafin, and Drobot would’ve honestly fit really well as main characters or supporting characters, and same thing with villains like Dr Krankcase would fit well for the show. I’ll admit that some moments were pretty corny, cringy, and dragged out for a while which made it boring at some points. It’s unfortunate that it got canceled after season 3 because I feel like season 4 would’ve been just as story driven as season 3. I’m aware that there were budget constraints but Activision was a billion dollar company (before Microsoft bought them recently) so idk how expensive the show was to make. I liked the show, but it could’ve been better in my opinion.

I really do enjoy this show. It's really what reinforced my love for Skylanders and reminded me why I love it so much. It isn't perfect, but what it is is a fun and enjoyable ride for Skylanders fans. All the characters and comedy aspects of the show was blast and while the story was a bit shoved to the side in some cases it's still enjoyable. It's a shame it was cancelled before it could give us more insight on Spyro's special heritage in season 4, but who knows? Maybe one day we'll get to see that. But until then we can only speculate and imagine what a season 4 of Skylanders Academy would've been if it wasn't cancelled. Like Spyro said... or spelled in the sky, "Skylanders Forever!"

Every time I see Skylanders Spyro in this show, I always think “WHY WASN’T THIS THE MAIN DESIGN IN THE MAIN GAMES?!” He looks absolutely adorable in this version! I wish the show elaborated more on the Legendary counterparts of Skylanders like Spyro because that always intrigued me to how they came to be, even when I haven’t went past the first game. Like, was it a separate counterpart or the same character, but in a powered up form, maybe hinting connections to his Dragon heritage? I don’t think the series went far enough to touch on that, and it frustrates me 😭 Edit: I checked the wiki and it said this: “For centuries, Skylanders have competed in gladiator-style events inside epic arenas of sport, where only the greatest of combatants become immortalized as magical, golden statues that stand watch as guardians.” Sooo, Spyro had an ancestor who happened to be identical, or previous incarnation or…?

[@blueotter5954]

This video is years old, two years as of typing, but I just want to say that the one thing I didn't like about the ending was getting rid of Dark Spyro. I know why they had to defeat Spyro's dark side, but I personally felt like Dark Spyro earned his right to exist. I would have liked to have Dark Spyro try to tell the others to stop Choas from getting to Strykore before it's too late, but is ignored. Then once Dark Spyro and Spyro separate, Dark Spyro hears how the people he called his friends didn't care for him at all but just caring about non dark Spyro; relating to how he now views all the risk and sacrifices he made for the Skylanders to be absolute torture that left him with nothing. Who knows, maybe at the end Dark Spyro can be a new student at the academy starting fresh.

You’re entitled to your opinion but so am I so I’m gunna say it. I watched it all when it first came out and I can’t agree in the slightest. It felt like a run of the mill mid 2010s show with barely any creativity. It misunderstood the entire point of skylanders too which is that no particular skylander is the main character, they’re all on equal footing aside from the gimmick-landers maybe. Gill grunt and trigger happy not being in the show is one thing but having Spyro, not even originally a skylander be that main skylander? There’s a lot more issues I have with the show but I feel like there’s no need to mention more.

[@Theagentofchaos-r5q]

Yeah that’s many of skylanders Academys missed opportunities and I think the reason why they made the main characters be Spyro, jet fac, pop flix, stealth elf and epuptor was because they wanted Imaginators to sell more.
