Didn't know Skylanders has a series!
Don't know about Crash's voice, but the design is really good and like it.

 

[Zushin]

Oh god. As an Aussie that is an afront to both Australians and bandicoots! Not a good accent at all.

EDGY AF RESCUE MISSIOOOOON

 

[Nimby]

Why can't Spyro look like this?

 

[hemo memo]

Poor Crash. They still come up with creative ways to torture the little dude.

 

[BigEmil]

Ewww wtf

 

[ChamplooJones]

Not that bad tbh.

 

[Galang]

This isn't bad at all.... Especially when you consider this show is aimed at children. I don't know what else they could have done aside just not include Crash at all.

 

[LAA]

Urgh... don't really mind his appearance, (though I don't think Crash should talk really, he hadn't seemed "intelligent" in the past).
What really kills me in this is Spyro... :'( Why do they acknowledge Crash's past but not Spyro's? I hoped Crash would make them look at Spyro again but seemingly not. Give up hope on it tbh, I used to think they could take him out of Skylanders and make a new game for him pretty easy but seeing they're putting him in the TV show, wouldn't make sense to take him out.
Poor Spyro, what misjustice.

 

[Kouriozan]

What the hell happened to Spyro.

 

[wrestleman]

people complaining about the handling of Crash gonna hold an L in the next little bit methinks

 

[Moosichu]

It's interesting, because they obviously have done their research and have got a lot right. There are a lot of neat little nods to the crash games in that clip. However, Crash doesn't talk in the Crash games and is a hell of a lot more goofy.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Eh. As long as doesn't talk in the games, I'm cool with this. The accent sounds really forced though.

 

[border]

Are Link and Crash the only characters that are not allowed to talk, as far as fans are concerned?

 

[ScientificPizza]

Spoiler

spyro has always looked like trash

i hope this is popular so it makes activision want to actually do something new with crash

We're getting remakes and a supposedly new game from SIEJ.

 

[TheCongressman1]

Crash looks perfect.

Spyro... Why, why did they do this to you?

 

[BKSmash]

This looks great! I actually watched the first episode of the show (one of the guys that is working on it worked on Futurama) and it's actually pretty good!

 

[Curt Baboon]

Its awful how they make Crash watch what they did to Spyro first-hand. A grim reminder.

 

[ScientificPizza]

Yeah I know about the remakes

I REALLY doubt SIEJ would be working on new Crash while Activision still owns it. Seems more like wishful thinking more than anything. I'd like to be wrong but I'm not going to believe shit until something is officially announced

 

[rec0ded1]

Is crash Skylander canon or did he reference his world in the episode or is he self aware that he's a video game character?

 

[RRockman]

Gordon Freeman?

I think Crash's new design is nice at the very least.

Yeah I watched the whole series with my son on the weekend and it was great. I expect we will get another series next year on Netflix.

You're in luck because they just announced a second season premiering late next year.

 

[mikezilla2]

now i might just have to watch this crap lol looks entertaining

 

[Gavin Darklighter]

Not the worst thing in the world but it does contradict the zanny way he sounds in the Naughty Doge Games.

 

[nikos]

I no longer want a new Crash game.

 

[Toxi]

Crash... Actually looks and sounds fine.

Are Link and Crash the only characters that are not allowed to talk, as far as fans are concerned?

 

[AnathemicOne]

Jesus fucking christ, what happened to Spyro? My heart, it hurts.

 

[QuantumSquid]

please no

 

[N.Domixis]

love the crash style font on the tnt boxes. Makes me hopeful it comes back and no more generic fonts.

 

[Nudull]

I love how most people in this thread couldn't even bother to see that the OP pic is a gag sequence before they went on blast about Spyro.

Anyway, voice is fine, it's the attempt at an Australian accent that's blah.

Doesn't really matter; most people hate the Skylanders' design for Spyro regardless. Doesn't really bother me--it works fine in practice and doesn't look bad at all in motion. Or maybe I'm just used to it because I've been following Skylanders since like the beginning and am practically more familiar with it than the original design at this point. Whatever. *Shrugs.* He's a fun character in the series and that's more what I care about anyway.

 

[wrestleman]

I no longer want a new Crash game.

considering the current developer of Crash is staunchly against him speaking english I don't see why

 

[Platy]

Is spyro even the main character on this series ?

That is the least you can do with the dragon since it basicaly started as a Spyro spin off

 

[SNURB]

You could say he's the main character yea. The first episode is about his origins and how he became a Skylander.

 

[cleveridea]

Spyro looks worse with every new iteration!

Oh god please, someone save Spyro from this hell!

Man the scene this gif is from maybe the most disturbing scene I have ever seen in a TV series

 

[Static Veins]

I definitely hope Crash won't be talking in the games, but it's fine here. And I think he looks great; just a modernised version of his old look really.

Spyro's Skylanders form still looks like a dumpster fire though.
