* Okay, so in A Hero's Tail, the second boss (Ineptune, I think her name was) commented that Spyro was larger than she expected, then says something along the lines of she assumed dragons were tiny due to being in the water all the time. But during the cutscene when you first go to the second world, she was shown at the very least seeing Red, who is much larger than Spyro. Would someone care to explain?

** This Troper always got the impression that there'd be a lot less difference between Elora and other fauns if it weren't for the fact that the latter basically had one model per sex (well... two for the males if you count the ones in the volcano level too). She does share something of the personality with them in terms of being basically your average American young female - she's just more mature because she's an actual character rather than a one-level NPC. The only slightly unexplainable thing is her skin colour, which does seem rather different, but... [[WildMadGuessing maybe that's just how fauns tan?]]

She was a love interest, a [[TheSmurfettePrincipal girl]], and a well-rounded character. I expect that if Insomniac had continued to make Spyro games, she'd reappear.

** It's clearly explained that he was hired by the new BigBad Red, and implied that the dragons sent him into exile. Also, he used a magical wand to turn the dragons into crystal, while in the new game he has only a large morningstar with a thunder fairy trapped inside. Then again, of course they're confident! In the first game Spyro roasted him in ''two'' hits!

** A lot of it ultimately just amounts to FanDumb a lot of it. Simple fact is a lot of classic fans hate the new series and a lot of TLOS fans hate the classics. You're hard pressed on DA and other sites to find a fan of ''both'', they exist, it's just hard to. Personally, I like both, but there's a lot of hate between fans of both games.

** He used a crystal that attracted the magic chain. Considering there's a heavy use of magic in their world, it's not unlikely a chain simular to it exists but is less powerful or the like. Along with that, the Hermit, who everyone apparently knows of, has a great deal of knowledge of Malefor, so it's possible he knew how from him.

** The most popular element considered to be her natural one is Wind, as it's the only one without an 'evil' attribute. However, the Chronicler said that her elements were rare and obtained from darkness, not that they were evil in and of themselves. It's also implied Malefor invented all or most of her elements before his fall to evil, so they're likely not evil in and of themselves, so who knows?

*** This. Also, there was no good reason or motivation for him to return again - in ''Ripto's Rage'', it was implied that he wanted to conquer Avalar because it was a world free of dragons (until Spyro showed up, anyway), but in the later games he's just evil... because. It's like the developers wanted the Spyro series to have one grand BigBad, when it wasn't really needed.

*** Because Insomniac wanted to make a game with a focus on weapons, clearly - it's not that they hated Spyro, but they had other ideas (namely, RatchetAndClank) which weren't compatible with Spyro's style of gameplay.
** What a lot of people forget is that Insomniac didn't own the rights to Spyro - Universal did, just like with CrashBandicoot. Insomniac were contracted to develop three games for the series, and then they decided to move on, rather than renew the contract. Insomniac didn't sell the series to anyone - it wasn't up to them who developed the next games. They may have liked to leave the series as it was - a near-perfect little trilogy - and it was then Universal's call to turn the series into a CashCowFranchise.

** TLOS is so different to the original trilogy that fans of the games tend to like them for different reasons; many fans are nostalgic about the early Spyro games, which were and still are fantastic platformers for their time, while fans who were introduced to the series with TLOS tend to like the games for their combat-focused gameplay and story. Some reboot fans dislike the earlier games because of the lack of such a concrete plot and well-developed setting in the earlier games; while that can't really be taken as a "criticism" against the earlier games - they weren't supposed to have serious storylines - it's a matter of opinion which series someone prefers. Those who mindlessly bash one of the two series, however, can probably be attributed to the FanDumb.

** In short, the employees at Insomniac may have enjoyed their time on the games, but they just didn't want to spend the rest of their careers making videogames about the same purple dragon.
