[weirdlanders]

*SPOILER ALERT* Do you know in Skylanders Academy, Malefor is Cynder's father, and Master Eon is Kaos' father? Don't worry, this is NOT in the games.

Lol oh trust me, I’m fully aware this isn’t in the games x,D it was stated by Eric like, season one that Skylanders Academy was it’s own take on the Skylanders lore and wasn’t connected to the games, the comics, nada (except of course for nods and injokes). It’s like it’s own alternate universe and that’s how I treat it totally, as WL is the same; it’s own AU take on Skylanders. 

I re-watched the last two episodes specifically to get a better grasp on my own takes on the finale. This is just my own thoughts so feel free to share your own on this post too!

The whole Malefor/Cynder thing surprised me, and I freakn’ LOVED IT. Long, loooooong ago while I was still thinking of ‘what ifs’ for Feuriah’s Dawn, Cynder was going to be Malefor and Feuriah’s daughter before Kurogh was created. I drew a pic even of Cynder asking Ignitus about her father, and Ignitus looking conflicted to tell her as he knew. But, I was very dumb and deleted it when I decided that wasn’t canon anymore :T So, seeing him as her father again feels SO WEIRD that it’s good!

I was at first sad that Malefor wasn’t the one trapped in Kaossandra’s book, and that he was just a regular Dragon King. But, I quickly grew to like it. For one it made me question well okay, then WHO is in the book, and two they still gave him a dark backstory with him helping slaughter a species (or banish, i say slaughter because I’m melodramatic AF) yet he’s also funny and a doting papa. It’s a side of Malefor we never saw in games and it gave him more depth and character he’s ever had. (in canon I mean, not including fan works of course) Heck, I never even gave him that much likeability, which is something I want to re-consider now seeing how much it suddenly made me more interested in Malefor again.

Also played with the idea if like, Feuriah was just sucked into this AU like Crash was and had to meet Malefor again, only to have him loving Cynder as his daughter and asking Feur on a taco date 8,D Also I play with the idea that Skylanders Academy Malefor is a single dad because it’s cute. BEST EVIL TACO KING DAD.

Now, onto the huge reveal on the final episode. When Strykore walked out I was slightly disappointed, only because I thought it was like, Evilon or Evil Eon from the Mirror of Mystery level, but I like him. I think I was falling asleep on my first viewing because I did NOT remember Eon taking off his helmet. Of course, until we get season 3 nothing is set in stone so this is just guessing for funsies.

Kurt mused the idea that maybe Eon split himself into two beings; one of pure light, and another pure evil. The pure evil one could have been Kaossandra’s lover originally until she realized how blindly evil he was (as I headcanon that she’s a lot like Feuriah thinking that there has to be a balance of good and evil, one can’t topple the other but instead maintained). So good Eon wasn’t Kaossandra’s lover, but Strykore was and is Kaos’ true father. Though if this was true, I wonder why they didn’t give Strykore Kaos’ eye markings? His mother doesn’t have them and apparently his father doesn’t either, but I dunno. That could be an interesting question to ask Eric Rogers maybe but I semi-fear that might be a spoiler for season 3 in some way.

Though I’m not 100% convinced Strykore is Kaos’ true father. When Kaossandra flew to the Academy and urged Eon “Let’s save OUR boys!”, for a second I questioned if Strykore is actually Kaos’ older brother and Eon’s firstborn son, but posed as Kaos’ father to trick him into freeing him. But that feels pretty loose as an idea and maybe a little too far fetched. I lean more toward the split from Eon thing. I thought Strykore could maybe even be Eon’s brother and Strykore has the forehead markings too, but thanks to that cliffhanging finale we just don’t know for sure 8,D His personality pretty much lines up with whomever I would have made to be his father in WL (never had plans to give him a father tho, just have him as lore/backstory but long gone). 

Either way, GOOD STUFF!!! Just what I was hoping for with this season, it was better than the first one! My favorite part being the character development Kaos went thru... i was so proud of my boi 8,D Seeing him actually LEARN from things while still being Kaos was so freakn’ good, that’s the kind of Kaos I try to portray with WL. Though of course, WL Kaos is like 30+ years older than the one in the show 8,D not that it really shows visibly but with character development. It was like the ending of Superchargers, I was so excited with that because THAT was the first time Kaos had any semblance of character development (only to have him return to his usual self in Imaginators... yeah hated how Kaos was portrayed in that game story wise :

Holy ramble batman O_O’ I still want to re-watch the entire series again and I will, but I’ll take my time digesting all this delicious new Skylanders content ;u; I don’t know how it’ll effect WL but I’m excited and inspired for sure!~Weird Hyenas
