History YMMV / SpyroShadowLegacy

* FanonDiscontinuity: Aside from those who ignore the game as a whole, due to the game [[OnlyTheCreatorDoesItRight not being made by]] [[Creator/InsomniacGames Insomniac]], or general dislike of the game regardless of that fact, [[BaseBreakingCharacter Bandit]] doesn't exist. Even people who dislike Ember usually don't bring him up when Ember's crush on Spyro is brought up. It helps that, being on the DS and generally being an underpopular game in the series, most people aren't aware Bandit exists in the first place. This game is notably even more disliked then "Enter the Dragonfly", which at least had the excuse of TroubledProduction for turning out the way it did and many fans argued it could've been a good game if it had only had more time in development.With "Shadow Legacy" on the other hand quite a few fans agree it was just a bad idea from the very start and that it had little chance of ever being good.

* CompleteMonster: [[EvilSorcerer The Sorcerer]] is a Purple Dragon who believes that he is a "True Dragon", claiming that [[FantasticRacism the other dragons are not true dragons]]. Prior to the events of the game, the Sorcerer [[TheCorrupter corrupts Red with his magic]], and orders him to place life draining Dark Gems across the realms to poison the life of the world. After Red's defeat, the Sorcerer creates three Shadow Amplifier Machines to pull everyone, [[WouldHurtAChild including children]], to the Shadow Realm so he can drain them of their magic, which involves torturing and killing them. When Bianca tries to stop him, the Sorcerer easily defeats her and orders Red to use her as bait for Spyro so he can kill him. When Spyro finally confronts the Sorcerer, he [[WeCanRuleTogether offers to make Spyro his apprentice]], only for him to reject him anyways, deeming him too small and weak, before attempting to kill him for interfering his plans. A cruel, dark being who believes himself to be superior to the other dragons, the Sorcerer serves as one of Spyro's [[VileVillainSaccharineShow darkest foes]].

* StrangledByTheRedString: Bandit immediately falls in love with Ember when he meets her and has Spyro deliver a love letter to her. When Ember gets the letter, she immediately drops her crush on Spyro and falls for Bandit, even though the two of them barely spoke to each other and would not interact again for the rest of the game.
