UNINTENTIONAL nostalgia for an ageless Spyro (Conspiracy/Lemme Explain)
Spyro fan for 27 years. (I was 2 when it came out, I know "fake fan")
So I have seen some posts and comments about the new Spyro design for A Realm Beyond that claim that Spyro has always been this ageless dragon in the first three games. It's just not true and kinda unintentially done by our new lord and saviors, Toys for Bob.
So after looking at all designs of spyro over the years. I realized that Toys for Bob used the same model across all three games in the Reignited Trilogy. Which is an absolutely wonderous model, don't get me wrong. But,,,,,
Insomniac "tried" to add subtle differences in his model between the games and make vague references to his age between games. His head, chest and wings become larger. Unfortunately though, he was then given to Paramount and Vivendi whom made what I will call "Ageless Box Art" Spyro (Because they gave him a permanent attitude face like the Box art) till they rebooted with the Legend trilogy. And then that trilogy allowed Spyro to age visibly.
The new design ages our boy a bit and he's wonderful. Nostalgia is one heck of a drug, just make sure you take the tinted glasses every once and awhile to see it with some clarity.
