Skylanders Academy Season 3 Trailer Breakdown

Okay, so earlier the season 3 trailer dropped, and I am going to go through the entire thing, pointing out little things I noticed throughout it. (This will be an extremely long)

Establishing shot of the academy. So far, so good

Eon explaining that the need Spyro in order to fight Strykore, but...

Spyro’s fire power has been stolen by Strykore...

and has been replace with dark magic, making him evil.

Strykore is planning on destroying the Core of Light.

I don’t think we have gotten a solid view of the Core until now.  HD design is good. Missing the Crucible of Ages, the Twin Spouts of Ocea Major Minor, and the Crystal Eye (I haven’t played Spyro’s Adventure in forever, but I still somehow remember those off the top of my head, wow), but otherwise very good. 7.8/10

Dark Spyro “sneaking” into the Academy

Everyone is happy to see Spyro, despite his significantly evil change in color scheme.

Stealth Elf kicking Fisticuff’s butt.  Nice to see some non-Doom Raider villains.

Dark Spyro training with King Pen.  King Pen has also been wearing a blindfold this entire time, so I would like to know what is happening there

Pop Fizz, Jet Vac, and Stealth Elf fighting Malefor.  Great to see him again, too.

Dark Spyro doesn’t really care about what Eon is talking about until... 

Eon announces that a mole was discovered in the Academy.

Dark Spyro is concerned about getting caught, but Strykore wants him to complete his mission.

Also

Eon also has this floating-head ability, although Eon uses it for more fun activities.

Kaos has become a pirate.  He has Dreamcatcher, Pepper Jack, Wolfgang, and Chompy Mage (behind Wolfgang) as his crew.  There is a significant lack of Golden Queen and Broccoli Guy, but I think I heard that there will be a new Doom Raider this season, so maybe they are all hanging out, away from Kaos.

Kaos’s power is growing.  Also, if there is not an airship battle this season, I will be very disappointed.

Speaking of airships, we see Flynn’s ship from Giants, and ...

The great Captain Flynn makes his Premiere.  (I still don’t like his model here)

Random troll battle arena that the Skylanders will most likely be forced to battle in.

Nice! More returning villains!  Here we have the Fire Viper from Swap Force

WTF?!? Glumshanks can use magic now?  It’s green magic, unlike Strykore’s purple magic, so I don’t know what is happening here.

Glumshanks is using his new magic on Crash, Dark Spyro, and Eruptor, so he seems to be against both Strykore and the Skylanders.  It also looks like he redecorated Kaossandra’s castle with plenty of statues of himself.  Also, Glumshanks either has a random lifelike statue of Eon, or he has somehow captured Eon.

Kaossandra randomly fighting Stealth Elf with a stick.  Either, she is really desperate to defeat the Skylanders, or she is not used to fighting without her magic. Also, there is a random red spaceship in the background.  Don’t really know what that’s for

Flynn almost crashes his ship (as usual).

but he pulls up at the last moment.

Spyro turns back to normal at some point.

Another new returning villain! Here we have an Arkeyan Conquer-tron.  I really love the lighting in this scene.

It look a lot skinnier than they normally look in the games.  Still pretty bad-ass.

Also, Strykore is just standing there.  Why aren’t any of you Skylanders doing anything?!?

“Well, it could be worse... Nope, never mind, probably not.” XD

Reintroducing Crash Bandicoot (with a new voice actor this season) (even though we have already seen him in this trailer)

and introducing Coco (I literally know nothing about the Crash Bandicoot series, so I don’t know anything about her)

Eruptor is leading a prison riot.  There is also a Goliath Drow amongst the group.  Maybe this is Brock from Giants?

Eruptor fighting the Conquer-tron. Amazing

Glumshanks and Kaos battling it out with their powerful magics.

Spyro and Eruptor seem to be flying through a wormhole.  Maybe we will get to see the inside of the Portal Network?

Bad Breath, Eruptor, Pop Fizz, Wind Up, Jet Vac, Stealth Elf and some Mabu are being exploded somewhere in the Academy.

Dark Spyro is apparently attacking something

Wait...

TWO SPYROS?!? WHAT?!?!!

Soooo many Glumshankses

“I hope you all enjoy group text chats!”

“DO WE EVER!” XD

Also, maybe this duplication/cloning machine is how we get the multiple Spyros.

CONCLUSION

There is so much that is happening in this trailer.  So many new characters.  So many action sequences/boss battles.  Didn’t look like there are going to be any new Skylanders though.  My personal hope/theory that the Earth Portal Master would be appearing does not look very likely, but anything can happen.

Overall, I have some pretty high hopes for this season. Can’t wait for it to come out later this month.
