Explanations for everyone: *Stealth Elf is an elf, and elves are always associated with nature. The reason why some of the other Skylanders elves aren't life is because they're dead. *Spyro is of the magic element because in the first reboot of spyro, they made his main element Aether which is essentially magic. He has control over all elements technically, but he prefers to use fire as his main attack because it's the one he's most used to. He is still technically magic though. *As for flashwing, prison break also uses light themed attacks, but considering crystals are very clearly considered Earth in Skylanders, it makes sense. Also which means she's definitely earth. *Countdown is a cyborg. He's half machine. You have a very high chance of being a tech character. Also, boomer exists. *Blast zone is not a robot. He is in fact simply just armor possessed by a spirit made out of fire. He's a specific race of skylanders. *Rollerbrawl is a vampire. Vampires are undead. *Krypt King was supposed to be of the magic element back in Giants, but they made him undead because he's supposed to be related to chop chop, as they are both arkeyan Skeletons. (The archaeans used their magic powers to raise the skeletons of other races and control them to formb a sort of army) *Wallop is based on animals that burrow. He's also known to do stonemasonry. *Cross Crow and shield Shredder were mainly just made that because of necessity. *Masker mind is a necromancer. The wizardry art of commanding the dead, bringing the dead back to life, and absorbing this souls of the dead. Not in that order. *Buried treasure. *Chompies were originally of the Earth element, and tussle sprout is a root vegetable. *Golden Queen is earth because she was originally designed as a Golem, and she was redesigned before they had decided to make light and dark. They kept her that way as a reference. Her main Power is petrification which is absolutely an Earth spell. *He's supposedly the meanest of the evilikins. That is his official reasoning. *As for splat I'm pretty sure magic is the element used for Skylanders that don't fit any other element. Also her paint is specifically stated to be magic. *Blaster Tron is of the light element it's because he was originally a built as a disco robot, what was repurposed and made into an evil robot that shoots light beams. He also fires off neon lasers, and is powered by light. *He's based on the night sky. The night sky. Dark. *Yeah grave clobber was just because of necessity. *Pit boss is undead for the exact same reason as rattle shake. However pit boss is also a necromancer in universe, which makes him absolutely of the undead element. Also none of it really matters, considering we were going to get metal mage as an air Skylander.
Wow! Roller Brawl is my favorite Skylanders of all time, but I never know that she's a vampire. O_O But now that I see her teeths in her design, now that's makes sense. I wonder if she mentionned that she's a vampire in Skylanders Academy (the TV Show on Netflix). I never watched the show but I know that almost all Skylanders are present.
Man, why are you like 'Golden Queen: Yeah, her design might be gold, which'd make her earth element, but she uses light attacks! She should've been light element!' 'Blaster Tron: Yeah, it might use lasers as attacks, which'd make it light element, but it's design is a robot! It should've been tech element!' Like dude, make up your mind also as a side note, you found the colour scheme for Blaster Tron weird for a light element while you're constantly complaining that skylanders are just an element because they use that element primairy colour scheme
Not to diss on him but the double-standard is really showing Masker Mind is exteemely pink, yet he complains he isn't Magic Wallop is brown, yet he says he could be any element if colored differently Either apply the logic to all or apply it to no one
Blast zone is not a robot. It is specifically stated that he is a furnace knight, which is a specific race. It’s like saying ignitor is a robot, When neither of them are. They are fire spirits inhabiting suits of armor
For Krypt King while his floating sword totally gives magic vibes, locust swarms are associated with famine and death in Egyptian mythology so I think that edges him over to the undead element a bit more.
for Stealth Elf elves for the longest time, in fairy tales, legends, mythology, have been closely connected to nature and forests and for Spyro I don't think it's a case of him being purple, rather that he has been in previous games, where in the classic Spyro games and the Legends games, purple dragons were always described as the rarest and most magical of all dragon species also, Roller Brawl she's a vampire, and Undead is not always abotu the undead, it's just about general spooky stuff
Also, Krypt King is associated with locusts, commonly seen with the dead. Blast Zone is a dude on fire like Ignitor. Countdown is a bomb construct, obviously he’ll be tech. Flashwing was made before Light was even a thing and she has crystals like Prism Break. Wallop as well has his hammers physically cause fisures in the ground. Chomp Chest… dude… buried treasure. Golden Queen is literally golden, she has a Midas touch ability, light =/= Light element. Blaster Tron is made out of Light. Tae Kwon Crow, NINJA HE IS A NINJA. Starcast comes from the stars and is literally supposed to be a being with light on him but he’s supposed to be dark, it’s in his name, he’s a star in the night sky.
absolutely bro like i don’t wanna hate fr but like the takes he gave were js so stupid like countdown and especially blast zone🤦🏾♂️(not too mention roller brawl, and pit boss, and a lot of others😭)
I swear to god... ROLLER BRAWL IS A VAMPIRE!!!! SHE IS THE SAME SPECIES AS NIGHT SHIFT!!!!! IF YOU TOOK OUT NIGHT SHIFTS BITE ATTACK YOU COULD GIVE HIM PRACTICALLY THE SAME REASONING AS ROLLER BRAWL!!!!!
Hello, Artist and character designer here (just in general, not for any official Skylanders games)! I think the elements of the Skylanders are less based around a single idea of "earth powers" or "water powers", and more based around all-around vibes and more general themes for each element. - MAGIC: Pretty self explanatory, Magic is based around the idea of arcane power as a whole, with elements of Space, Time, Wishes, Shamanistic practice, and other broadly "magical" powers such as Splat's ink. - EARTH: Most of the Earth element's core traits come from things you would usually find within the earth. Rocks (obviously), crystals and Minerals, fossils and dinosaurs, and ancient civilizations. Golden Queen could be earth simply due to her thematic ties to Ancient Egypt. There also seems to be a general theme of Strength in the earth element, which could explain why Wallop and Head Rush are here. - WATER: Water is one of the more simple elements of Skylanders, mostly just being Skylanders who are thematically tied to water and other forms of H2O. Things like The Ocean, Freshwater like rivers and lakes, Ice, and in Lob Star's case, Steam. Grave Clobber being here could be a reference not just to his lore, but also to the idea of a desert Oasis. - FIRE: another simple element, Fire is thematically based around heat, be it actual fire, lava, explosions, molten metal, and other such things. as to why Blast Zone is here, Well... - TECH: Tech has an overall theme of invention, machinery, and more high-tech weaponry. And yes, while it would make sense for all the robot characters to go into Tech, it would greatly hinder the freedom of design for their characters, as they'd have to have a reason as to why this robot wields water hoses as weapons, or this one has fire coming out of it. Not to mention, there would be way too many Skylanders in this element if all the robots were in tech. Also, while Countdown could theoretically fit into fire, Thematically he's a lot more of a mechanical construct and a lot less of a pyrotechnic himself. In other words, he wouldn't use bombs if he wasn't built that way. - UNDEAD: Undead is the catch-all Horror/Paranormal/Death element, so a lot of Skylanders end up in this element on concept alone. Classic monsters like Vampires, Werewolves, Zombies, Ghosts and Witches, as well as general Ghostly magic in the case of Hex. If I recall, Roller Brawl is a Vampire, and as for Pit Boss, Pit Vipers are deadly venomous, and venomous snakes as a whole are deadly, and pretty scary to some folks, wouldn't you agree? - AIR: the air element is often associated with the sky, which explains why there are so many Skylanders with electric powers in this element instead of Tech. We got wind, flying creatures like birds, different aircrafts, clouds, storms, rainbows, etc. Most Skylanders in this element basically share a general theme of Air magic and/or Flying. - LIFE: Honestly, I gotta give it to the Skylanders Devs for naming this element Life instead of plant, grass or wood, because Life is exactly the kind of broad term that Skylanders elements are supposed to be. we got all kinds of Life in this element! Plants, Trees, Fungi, Animals, Fruits and Vegetables, and even some like Stealth Elf who share more of a symbolism with life than just an elemental similarity. - LIGHT & DARK: Putting these two together because they're basically two of a pair, both in design and in function. Light and Dark are design around each other in a common theme of Duality. Bright Lights Vs Dark Shadows, Day time vs. Night time, Etc. in fact, that last one could be what Starcast is supposed to be, as his cosmic body does closely resemble the night sky. All in all, I believe Activision & Toys for Bob had a solid grasp of what Skylanders they made in each element and why. And honestly, I think they did a pretty good job! As for Skylanders that changed elements, that's something I'm interested to see, just as a storytelling experiment if nothing else! In conclusion, It's not about filling a check box of "elemental magic" but more towards a central Theme of each Skylander's respective element. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk, and enjoy the rest of your day! ^_^
Golden Queen's light attack isnt light at all, its her magic gold spell that turns people into gold, its the same attack the trapped version uses that turns people into gold. I dont think she fits light at all, like that would make no sense whatsoever. Krypt King's attacks are themes around death and famine, Blast Zone is NOT a robot, he is the same species as Ignitor. Not every robot has to be tech, Blastertron is perfect as a light skylander since he always had lazer attacks. Roller brawl is a vampire, you're argument can be used for night shift in the exact same way. These are the craziest takes i have ever seen
2:45 Boomer has explosives, your argument for Countdown is invalid 3:25 Wrong. He is living armor with fire. And we’ve seen that same thing with Ignitor!
Flashwing: is earth because crystals are stones, which are rocks, which is earth. (light wouldn't be a thing for 2 games.) BlastZone: is not a robot he is a sentient suit of armor like ignitor, filled with elemental fire. Rollerbrawl: is a vampire. I don't need to elaborate. Countdown: is a sentient "Time Bomb" he isn't just explosive but the clockwork and mechanical parts that make a bomb function. thus Tech. I am going to just disregard anything you just said about TrapTeam entirely because that's not worth discussion period. Splat: is Magic because of her paints. (and no she is not a "Rip-off" of Splatoon, there is not relation between a goat with a paintbrush and squids with waterguns.) Blastertron: is a holographic AI from the far future. lasers and light go hand in hand. Golden Queen: isn't using light, she is petrifying enemies, turning them into solid gold. also gold is inherently a earthen metal, thus the earth element. Starcast: isn't just stars he is a vast void of space. thus Dark. Grave Clobber: isn't just water because undead and earth were taken for those villain spots, is you listen he has a surfer theme to his intro music and he lariat is of a Crocodile, a aquatic creature. it isn't because he is blue, as its far deeper if you bothered to understand what make each element unique. Pitboss: isn't just a normal ordinary snake, if anything he takes alot of inspirations from jormungandr, of norse mythology. the great world serpent sibling to Fenrir and Hel. a better video would have been to look at relations and inspirations that skylanders have with real life or fantasy or even pop culture. but this. . . . This ain't it chief.
Here is a break down of every character I disagree with. Blast zone isn't even a robot, he is a knight with armour. Roller Brawl is a vampire. Masker Mind fits undead, it's just like with other characters that if you switch their colors they fit that element, if Masker mind was grey it they would look more undead. Golden Queen fits earth so well, your only reasoning for the light element here is she has attacks that use light. You made the light point with Flashwing but she only had a single attack with light. Not to mention your reasoning for Golden Queen being light is a single attack she used in a cutscene. Splat does have magic vibes and I believe her paint is magical. For Starcast dark is the closest fitting thing to space. For Blaster Tron doesn't mean every robot has to be tech, I mean you said yourself with Countdown about how he doesn't fit tech, but he is a robot. I do agree with Grave Clobber, his backstory started to be more about water so they could add him in, but they couldn't keep him earth to keep the one villain one element thing going. As much as I love him they should have added a actual water villain over him. Finally Stealth Self, her back story.
Countdown is not a robot, he's a bomb. Blast Zone use bombs to attack and he's Fire, but the bomb himself isn't Fire which is weird to me. EDIT: I forgot about Boomer who uses Dynamite, and is also Tech like Countdown.
> Clickbait Thumbnail > All of His Points are due to Lack of Research Yep, this guy's a fake fan WAIT, HOW DOES HE HAVE MORE LIKES THAN DISLIKES?!?!?!?
Bro 90% of these is just saying it dosnt fit its element and not giving an alternative like they did the best ones also you don't agnolge lore for a bunch of these but you do for golden queen in the cuteness thats just stupid also you said twice a skylander should be light if it has a bunch of lasers for golden queen that should undermine the much more fitting one for her design that being earth so by that logic blaster tron fits light perfectly and golden queen turns enemies to gold how is that not earth over all you constant undermined youre own points and other times was just saying stuff to be contravesl
Golden Queen: I know she’s made of gold, but she should be light element because some of her attacks are light! Blastertron: I know he uses light based attacks, but he should be tech element because he’s a robot! Logic.
Yes, the Trap Team villains make the least sense in their elements, brawlrus technology when it should be water and bomb shell magic when it should be fire.
Blaster-Tron makes sense to be light element because he’s from the future and is mainly powered up by light, tech does exist in future skylanders but I can totally see why he’s light
Ever since a few months ago, I realized that Wolfgang doesn't fit the Undead Element at all to me. I get it, he has a BONE harp and BONES coming out of his back, but when you think of werewolves, what's the first thing that comes to mind? For me, it's the full moon thing, so I think Wolfgang should have been a Dark Skylander while Hood Sickle remained Undead.
Yeah and iirc she has a health steal ability, sure it’s a headbutt and not a bite like night shift, but her moveset _does_ incorporate a vampire ability at the end of the day
On top of Krypt King having just the design aspects of an undead Skylander, being an Arkeyan, he is also in lore essentially a corpse. He is an outside spirit who is inhabiting an Arkeyan body, technically just referred to as a suit of armor but it also has the bones other Arkeyans do and is infested with bugs so either the body is dead or something inside of it is dead. Either way, both the spirit and something about the body are dead themselves, making them a primary prospect for the undead element
Funny how you put flashwing on the list and not prism break, i don’t think either of them should be though since even though they use light, crystals are just as much earth as stones are
Rollerbrawl is a vampire and comes from the underworld. Hance her undead element. As for Flashwing, i disagree. Just because there are no rock related attack/effects doesn't mean she doesn't fit. Crystals reflect light, but earth has its own energy aswell. It's kinda like Prism Break and Crusher. They also use crystals and light based attacks. Aswell as some Skylanders from the Magic using flashy light attacks. Golden Queen, gold is a mineral hance her earh element. Having attacks similat to that of an other element, doesn't mean that the elemental enegy is the same. Look at all the skylanders using electrical attacks. All arcross the elements. And the reasons you give for one is then counterd by what you say about another one. Although i see where you are comming from, it feels like you make some big jumps???
I'd like to point out a skylander that stands out to me for being an element that doesn't necessary fit, that being Hood sickle in imaginators. He very obviously has a lot of grim reaper inspiration, in fact, I'm not sure how good of a source this is, but Hood sickles species is even listed as a reaper on the skylanders wiki. So much is pointing him to the undead element, which he is in trap team, and yet in imaginators he's a dark element. While not game breaking to me, it certainly stands out way more than many of the skylanders discussed here.
already I think this video missed the point of the elements entirely, also Spyro is Magic because Magic is actually the default element, and if you bothered to play the actual Spyro games you'd understand why he is magic instead of fire. this video boils down to nit picks and one sided opinions.
the only skylanders i think are out of their element are the villains and returning villains from trap team, but these actually do have a reason. for the regular villains it was intended that there would be an even number of villains for each element, but villains also have to fit the level theme or else they will feel out of place. that's why some of the villikins have weird elements, they were designed with willikin workshop in mind but couldn't all be put in life or earth or else the elements would be thrown off balance. in the case of the returning villains, since there was supposed to be 10 villains, each having a battleclass and element no other returning villain had, they couldn't have someone like grave clobber be in the earth element when it was already taken. that's why villains had element swaps, it was just so they could fit evenly alongside other villains. EDIT: the reason regular skylanders don't have this problem is because they didn't need to be designed with a specific level in mind, they could just pick an element and design a skylander who would fit it
I thought it was interesting that if Pit Boss got mentioned as not being very "Undead", that the same argument wasn't also applied to Rattle Shake. Also this is an obvious one but Trap Shadow makes sense for Dark, even though it wasn't out yet (since the Flashwing/light element thing was mentioned). Also I've realised that bees are in a few Skylanders' attacks aside from Krypt King's and they're in a few different elements (if I remember correctly, Hot Dog, Swarm and Bumble Blast all also have bees in their attacks).
Video idea: picking a new element for each skylander and giving them 0, 1, 2, or 3 stars based on how well they fit, such as moving Spyro to Fire or moving Flashwing to Light, etc
7:00 His 2 moves are digging and metal, detecting the ground. And he's a treasure chest, something people Bury underground. Why wouldn't he be an Earth element?🤨
For flashwing earth makes sense cause her body made of crystal which they grow underground. That’s Reason she’s earth. Remember a crystal is a mineral of earth
Blast Zone isn't a robot; he's a walking/flying oven known as a furnace knight. It would be a good idea to check the characters backstories before making claims like that 😂 And for Krypt King, he's a spirit of a knight that possessed an Arkeyan suit of armor. His floating sword is known as the haunted sword (as per the upgrade menu), so it's not just a floating sword. If floating and being see-through/incorporeal means it should be magic, then Ghost Roaster should be magic, too. Also, they aren't bees, they're "undead insects" lol
Also, saying Golden Queen should be Light because she uses light-based attacks even though she's made of gold is the exact opposite of saying that Blastertron should be Tech because he's a robot even though he uses light-based attacks...
Roller brawl could have been light because the speed of light is a thing and she is fast. Also golden queen could have been magic. Like dude, her main weapon is a staff wand thing that she use’s to spawn minions
The fact that he ignores so many skylanders with the EXACT SAME CONCEPTS is wierd. Ignitor, Prism Break, and Rattle Shake are ignored, yet Blast Zone ,Flash Wing, and Pit Boss are brought up.
@@axelnilsson5124 2 points 1 the original Skylanders game is called spyros adventure and was named that specifically so that they'd have long time Spyro fans coming to check it out early Skylanders was a gamble because there wasnt a presedent for the toys to life genre so they had to have something to guarantee cash flow 2 if you look at his character bio in swap force or the collection books it says he is as well
honestly if your gonna argue against pit boss being a undead, argue against rattle shake being undead as well... neither really fit the undead theme, other then they are snakes. so i feel like he should've been included as that. so why wasnt rattle shake included in the does not belong list
Imagine if they introduce the concept of Skylanders with two or three elements together, Blastertron would definitely have BOTH light & tech elements, whilst those Crosscrow should just stick to air, and if they’ve introduced dark & light in the first Skylanders game, Stealth Elf would be perfect on having the dark element!!!
saying count down doesnt fit in tech but not saying boomer doesnt is insane, his whole thing is also bombs and i feel he fits perfectly. countdown is a perfect tech skylander because hes literally just a robot
To be fair with blaster tron, astro blast in superchargers showed that not only do radiant, heavenly light constitutes for a light type, but the future, laser beams and space is also good for liht type, so i think blaster tron gets a pass.
1. Stealth elf is in life because elf’s in any mythology or game they are in very nature attuned. 2. It’s a magic dragon, dragons breathe fire. 3. The crystals (which are rocks) she has on her body are what Makes her rock(stone whatever) element. 4.count down in the body, not the bomb. Because he can move without the head. 5. Blast zone is just fire in armor. Why would he be tech 6.roller brawl. Could be any element. 7.krypt king is biased of a mummy. His abilities are biased(from what i😂can tell) of the biblical bug swarm. It’s not bees. The sword is another thing. 8.wallop seems to be biased off of some type of underground bug. Some type of beetle, because of his head crest 9. Cross crow. Yeah 10. Shield shredder. Yeah 11. Masker mind. Necromancy is death magic 12. Chimo chest . Yeah 11. Tussle. Yeah 13. Golden queen gold. Ones from the ground. And Isn’t her stuff biased off of king mitas 14.yeah, idk why dark element 15. Yeah Supper chargers 16. Its magic is because she summons paint. To use 17. Blaster tron is a robot. But then to many mechs would be tec.
You could say the same thing for headrush you did for wallop, although I’ve never read they’re backstories so there could be something missing that could link them to the earth element.
A good element in my opinion to fit roller brawl if she wasn't a vampire would be wind, because shes fast and lots of speed can make alot of wind and draft
I feel like in some ways Magic has become the skylanders equivalent to the normal type. Cuz both have ones that have things that don't really fit into one type/element
It isn't fair to have Skylanders in here that could realistically work with any element. Not fitting your element and being able to be in any element are not the same things
Probably a hot take but I think they should’ve brought back Chop Chop in Skylanders Imaginators and made him a knight sensei. I don’t need to tell anyone that it would make sense if that were the case.
I really would love new game where there are skylander that swap most skylanders elemental alignment. It would be fun to have a new kit as a version of Whirlwind that is Fire Element, or a Wrecking ball that is Undead(Wrecking Skull lol)
I feel like if some of the skylanders were put into a different element then it still wouldn’t feel right because they would have that one thing that makes them seem like a different element. Like masker mind if you switched him to Magic he would still bring people back from the dead
i always saw golden queen as magic since she has a staff and she was picked as sorcerer and i was suprised when i found out she was earth and not magic
To be honest, countdown fits tech better than boomer. Countdown is kinda a robot with a clock for a heart. Boomer... has gloves with gears on them. That's it.
I know RattleShake has the bottom half skeleton attack, but how does RattleShake make since as an undead while pit boss doesnt? Rattleshake has ONE undead themed attack
see that’s just it, pit boss has a move set fully based on alive and slithering snakes, while rattle shake throws around skeletons and bones. I did consider him though, so props to you 😅
I just spent a bunch of time typing out basically the same points for every character without realizing that this comment covered everybody since at first I thought it was just stealth elf, whoops
Blast one it a literal furnace. Of course he’s gonna be fire because while he might be a walking oven making you think he’s a robot it’s very clear he 90 percent fire? 😂
I would understand Flashwing being Light, but Prism Break is ALSO a skylander that uses mainly beam based attacks. I think the characters are set into elements based on design rather than use of power honestly. Then again Wallop may be earth for his heavy and earthshaking hammer attacks. Blast zone however looks more like flaming armor than a robot, like how ignitor is. Countdown I think works in tech still though given Drill Sargent's drills explode, along with Boomer's dynamite. By this logic Trigger Happy should be earth, he uses guns sure, but he's firing gold, an element of earth, ergo he should be earth instead. I will agree though the chest one(I never had him) I'd expect as more a magic type due to it being a more fantastical idea.
Read stealth elfs lore she is an elf that had to do something with a tree i dont really remember, countdown fits the tech element cuz bombs and missiles are an invention which is a part of human technology, roller brawl is a vampire which relates to halloween and most halloween stuff relates to the undead element id say, for krypt king he gives mummy vibes which are dead hence the undead element, if you read blast zone's lore you would see that he is a knight not a robot or is ignitor a robot? No, right. Starcast is probably the dark element because of the black void and black holes of the space. Your reasoning for all the skylanders are kinda ignorant.
