I love how whenever you put actual thought into the specifics on how the banishment of the Skylanders work, it all leads back to them somehow "Splitting".
How are there reprints of the same Skylander when they are all just the same character? They somehow split on the way to earth.
How were Spyro and Gill Grunt shown to be in Skylands at the end of SSA yet be trapped as statues in Super Toy Planet at the start of Giants? They somehow split on the way to earth.
How do variants even work when they're just alternate forms of the same character that they should logically be able to use at any time? They. Somehow. Split. On the way to earth.
