skylanders fans when they are asked to give a hot take: (gives the most tame idea possible) the same skylanders fan's actual opinions: something like "I liked imaginators' soundtrack"
not sure if this is a hot take but i think the series should’ve ended on Superchargers, the final boss was literally the darkness itself, kaos lost his powers and worked at the academy, and the whole plot point with glumshanks getting fired felt like the recipe for an good ending, but i understand if people don’t agree with me cause of the gameplay or the gimmick
Honestly, valid. Not only plot wise, but quality wise as well, I feel like skylanders peaked at superchargers. The characters were good and were pretty fun for fan service, with the villains becoming senseis, but something about the overall levels and gameplay just wasn't very engaging to me, haven't been able to replay it like the other games.
Real hot takes: *SSA hasn’t aged well and might be worse than Imaginators *A new main antagonist was needed after Giants…Kaos was carried hard by Richard Steven Horvitz VA work, but it would’ve been better if future games had someone new *the ambush system in Giants was a fantastic idea that wasn’t used enough *Jet Vac and Pop Fizz are overrated AF, from a marketing and gameplay standpoint, literally any other Skylander from SSA deserved more notoriety
@ basically in specific elemental zones, you would randomly get attacked by evil versions of certain Skylanders. Like all the sudden 3 evil Gill Grunts would spawn in, and you’d have a mini boss fight on your hands These are extremely difficult on Nightmare mode and also a creative way to implement the arguably lackluster boss fights from SSA. They should’ve kept this going with more unique evil Skylanders, like a Dark Spyro boss fight or something
my takes(hot or not): sky landers swap force is top 2 best games in the series and the swappers are the best gimmick skylanders, also magic is my favorite element.
swappers is such a good gimmick that u can use it in other games, meaning there rlly is no point in playing swap force FOR the swap gimmick, its in the other games lol
1:06 you made a small error there Boom Bloom and Air Strike don't unlock levels they came with level pieces like the previous games (Empire of Ice, Midnight Museum, Sheep Wreck Island, ect.)
Imaginators would be peak if they put the same effort into the story as they did with Superchargers and if they did a different villain then Kaos since his story should've ended with Superchargers
Here's maybe a hot-take, Drobot's other moves are still useful and even if they weren't, a Skylander can still be fun even if one move outclasses the others. Yes, lasers are op without question; but Drobot's afterburners are also strong (especially used right) and are perhaps the most fun flight method in the series. The metal blades are meh, but the Wow Pow where you can make them into a big blade is on-par with the lasers and can be used from even safer distance. But also, I can enjoy using a skylander where I take the whole kit into account, and I can enjoy one that nukes the game with 1 button. Sunburn is my favorite skylander and god knows I'm never clicking teleport, being op is part of the charm
@@carterlazarus813 Agree about Drobot. His flight move lets you strafe which makes him easier to control and dodge hazards while attacking. His metal blades don't do very much but even those are helpful. In SSA at least, you can use them WHILE using your lasers and they reflect on walls. If they hit enemies, you do even more damage than without them. It is especially effective when attacking Kaos' machine in the final battle when it's stuck as they allow you to do more than 40 additional damage each throw if both hit.
Sunburn is one of my favourites - I have the flame lord path for him as I wanted to upgrade what made him unique as a skylander. I use the teleport move more than the primary attack! The teleportation also makes him very op in PvP. I totally agree about Drobot. He's great to have as a backup Skylander for when my favourites have been defeated, and I don't need to remember how to play with him.
My hot take (because I couldn’t get one before this) mesmerelda could have been an early “villain turned skylander” concept and could have replaced Short Cut
I understand the angle that you're trying to go for with the puppet related design, and I don't hate it, but I only slightly disagree because I already really love Short Cut as a character, he's actually my top favorite
27:06 What an enlightening comment, that commenter must be a ruggedly handsome fastidiously intelligent genius. I strongly envy how shredded and majestic they must be.
Hot take: Mysticat is the best magic sensei. Yes better than pain yatta and buckshot mysticat does so much damage can become fast and invisble and can spawn clones w/ the sg being good for tank damage and crowd control
i can confirm this, with hours apon hours of sensei testing on my hands, not only is mysticat the best magic sensei but he is also in the top 10 best senseis of all time (objectively)
Completely agree, the Sensei's were a fantastic addition to the roster, with great designs and fun fan service with the villains turned heroes. The biggest flaw for me was the actual gameplay and level designs, they just felt strangely "lifeless" to me, I haven't been able to replay and enjoy it like the other games, outside of enjoying solely the interesting characters(my favorite being Golden Queen and Starcast)
Not a hot take but it would be cool if the next skylanders game was a combination of every gimmick in the games like how beyblade X has gimmicks of every era of beyblade.
I agree that would be fun in theory, but I imagine it would be not only incredibly difficult to shove that all into one game, but also thematically problematic because it wouldn't truly have it's own "identity", lacking a true gimmick to call it's own, you know? You'd create a true "Jack of all trades, master of none" sort of game, which isn't honestly as appealing as you think it would be, especially story wise
29 minutes worth of my favorite skylanders game being hated on (swap force) Also my hot take is that skylanders doesn’t need the figures to be skylanders, face it, toys to life is dead and there's so many more things skylanders have other then the figures that a new game can focus more on (the character stories are a gold mine worth of context for a new game)
I very much agree on that one. I had a concept a while ago for a skylanders game where it sort of had a few different storylines that played out depending on which character you chose. Imagine a sonic adventure 2 or something where after beating each storyline you got one final one that ends with the final boss(probably kaos). The other thing is that if skylanders ever came back, that they changed it so you don't need the figures. I would much prefer the figures be like amiibo where they just give non-game changing things like a cool wallpaper for a house in a hub or something. Maybe make it so it unlocked a skylander earlier instead of later(unlockable skylanders behind challanges is another idea), that way the figure itself isn't barring gameplay or features from the player.
the dude who said “if you think the levels are too long your attention span is too short too be talking” definitely had the guy at 24:41 in mind when he said that😭 i completely agree with the other guy btw, if you think the levels are too long you must have an attention span of 2☠️
@@hello-xm5il i’ve never heard of a single person who had too go through that as a kid, the levels are indeed long but they aren’t “too long” if you think there too long even in todays time, like i said, you have an attention span too short too even be talking
⚠️YAPPING ALERT⚠️ I would like to also say that parts of Swap Force are tedious to me as well. Not the levels necessary, I actually loved how each level feels like its own world full of collectables and colorful environments to find and see. However, the combat has no challenge and either 1. Drags on forever because enemies in this game are glorified ragdoll punching bags 2. The fights end incredibly quick because of all of the ways you can knock enemies off cliffs cheesing fights so easily You either cheese the fight or stub locke a enemy with way to much health until they die because every move stuns or at the very least interrupts attacks for some reason. I love exploring Swap Force, but I once fell asleep fighting in an arena while trying to get stars for my portal master rank.
@@HeavyWalrus2 i definitely see what you mean but i feel like that’s what they were going for, they purposely didn’t make the combat TOOO hard but i wanna ask did you play on nightmare mode? i’ve been waiting too do my nightmare run until i got 3 other swappers i need but i ask because i expect the combat would of course be harder
@ Nightmare mode on Swap force is weird because the damage that enemies deal is based of percentage and not a set number. Sure some enemy attacks will have a set value, let’s say 200 damage for example. If you were playing a skylander with 350 health, the damage would cap at half your health bar, the next hit would leave you at exactly 1, and the next hit would kill you. Atleast on the Wii U version, you’re guaranteed to live at least 2 hits. Some enemies do as much as 500 damage! But that doesn’t matter when the damage dealt is capped. You will be ok, besides, not only do you get more exp and rewards on nightmare but food heals more as well for some reason.
I don't recall sharing a hot take of mine when on a community post about Skylanders... May as well share mine now. The people who complain about the "fan favourite" Skylanders - namely Spyro, Stealth Elf, Eruptor, Jet-Vac and Pop Fizz - are just upset that their personal favourite isn't being represented. Personally, the only one of these I don't like is Eruptor... though I am glad they moved away from Gill Grunt over time. He was becoming oversaturated.
I've always sorta seen Giants as just a sizable DLC to Spyros Adventure. Swap Force was different because they wanted to explore somewhere else also I feel jumping was needed. I would love to explore a world like what we got in spyros advebturre but what the later games gave us was great different places tho it is unfortunate that Imanators just didn't do a whole lot with furthering the world.
tht makes no sense, as in vv engine (swap force, superchargers, imaginators) his fire cracker path is better path to pick for those games, especially with the series 2, so if people dont rank him high its cos they just dont test him out enough at all. thats how i view it atleast
my hot take. Ninjini is the best Giant and its not even close. Look you have to only use her blade + main combo or the upgrade combos. then she is the strongest giants caracter, close + long ranged and beats every enemy before she can get hit. love you viedeos thanks bro.
I might actually agree. Ninjini is like my second or third favorite giant after Swarm and maybe Tree Rex. I played on Nightmare Mode and survived as her a lot longer than most other giants thanks to her other sword combos. One gives you a final attack that does over 120 damage (can't remember the exact number) that also hits multiple enemies if aimed well. The other one distracts your enemies. Using both combos, your spheres and the trance fog makes her a good fighter. Her rockets are the weakest attacks. I guess firing them inside the bottle while running away from cyclops before they start spinning might work.
hot head is ranked as the best giant by most of the best skylander players and if u dont know why then u rlly need to use his oil path more because its contender for the highest dps in skylanders giants, i myself rank ninjini very high simply due to agro swords distracting enemies and her pretty solid dps
I agree with the first hot take entirely as well, but I also enjoy the vehicles personally. LOVE SuperChargers to death! One of my all time favourite video games!
My hot takes: Imaginators is mediocre and if they took more time to make it better we might still have Skylanders. If Skylanders came back now with a game like the old ones it wouldn’t have success
Swap Force is the 2nd best game, after Trap Team. The gimmicks and Skylanders were phenomenal. The story of Swap Force was also peak. Also, Trap Team has Chill Bill, so ofc it's S tier. They should 100% make a Skylanders 7, and I'd rather they milk the franchise for all it's worth than leave it dead. Sure, there should be some way to get Skylanders without buying the whole physical box set, like maybe unlocking 1 token after each level and getting a digital version of 1 Skylander from that game to use. (i could go more in-depth about my thoughts but im too lazy)
purely my opinion but if they do come out with a new skylanders game they would have to have the characters come out in a digital format. This’ll give everyone an opportunity to play the skylanders without having to go into a store to get new figures, but I also think they should still have figure but have them act more like how amiibo works with nintendo giving possibly a new power or access to an exclusive level. There would also have to be backwards compatibility with earlier skylanders so like you have a portal from trap team your able to use it with the game so that you can use figures you already have or them come out with a special portal for the game, but in the end it is still my opinion so you can debate about whether or not this would be a good idea.
If you think wrecking ball is bad, play him in Swap Force on the top path, for some reason his tongue anility has double damage in this game, and it makes him really good, especially for bosses.
My "hot" take, the senseis sucked, there is only like, maybe 10 of them who I actually like, that's only 1/3 who are good, the rest are mid or just straight up bad imo Overall, Imaginators was the worst game in the series (although I haven't played Spyro's Adventure or Superchargers and only partially played Giants at a friends house when I was younger) the levels are boring and uncreative, there is a level straight up called "abandoned amusement park", there is nothing unique about it, not even a fun name, like COME ON, god damn ABANDONED AMUSEMENT PARK Talk about running out of ideas
Is this a hot take: Blastermind is good and he's my 10th favorite Skylander, favorite Trap Master, was my 3rd Skylander to be fully maxed our (money, levels and upgrades) just behind 2 Stealth Elfs and I think he's one of the best. In fairness, I only have 2 Trap Masters.
My hot take: trap team is the worst the balance of the skylanders is all over the place they ether hit hard or they don't do enough damage, also tt don't have any heroic challenges or any thing to permitly raise your stats, and I find to villain gimmick kinda breaks the game, like why would I use a skylander that doesn't even do that much damage when I can use buzzer beek that does 300
My hot take is that the weakest cast skylander wise is giants if you want me to explain most of the skylanders aren’t very good jet vac, sprocket, flash wing, hotdog, ninjini, and most of the characters in the game are series 2 figures I do like most of the newer ones like pop fizz, swarm, and tree rex and like some series 2 wow pows like Chop Chops, Zaps, and Bash’s I don’t like how a chunk of the characters are reused and or unfun
The roster may be not fun in your opinion, but the giants roster is a very powerful cast, there are no bad giants cores from a potential standpoint, they are all great objectively
@@rubyjrdx I agree most are pretty good and I’d say none of the giants are completely trash but when comparing it to the rest of the games it seems fair to say it’s weaker than the others
As a Wallop enjoyer (He's top 3 of all time for me) I can confirm that he is one of the greatest Skylanders if you wanna turn your brain off and just go caveman mode. But if you want to do even the slightest amount of thinking, then yeah, go with literally anyone else
My hot take: the starter pack for imaginators should have been grave clobber+tri tip and king pen should have been a ninja instead of overshadowing a skylander that nobody cared about in the first place
Personally, I feel that the Imaginator creation system was just way too restricted and a bit kessy where it's bhardbto really make a good imaginator without it looking weird and unnatural. Each class was limited to a ferrain body type which was the same for all except for two which just makes it even harder to really work with. Ine thing that also bothers me is how there was no true animalistic Skylanders after Trap Team since Superchargers needed bipedal like characters to drive vehicles and Imaginators was locked to a more humanoid like shape whereas true animals and fantastical creature aren't or beasts aren't really made. I know the planned sequel was supposed to add more classes and body types, but that should've been in the base game in the first place as it would've left a much hetter inpression with the creation aspect.
Wildfire is one of my favorite skylanders, and I know a lot of the lore, watch many skytubers and know a lot about the figures. How is that very little?
Look I’m just calling cap. I also have Wii U trap team and I’ve experienced animation glitches and I had to restart the golden desert twice due to the bombers simply refusing to throw or the bomb hitbox getting stuck on a wall
Why are most of the hot takes abt super chargers like we get it you think superchargers is underrated but because there are so many of you saying that a larger percentage of people are saying that it’s good so it’s no longer underrated
Ok I’ll bite. No one said this in the video so I’ll be the first to say it. Imaginators is undoubtedly the worst in the franchise. (sorry Cloud) It has the worst story, the worst gameplay, the worst boss fights, it is a recycled game with models and stuff from old games (Superchargers), it was very rushed and thus has rushed ideas and concepts in levels, it had micro transactions, and the side content is horrendous. The only good parts of this game is the gimmick, the roster, and is the only game in the series where you can play all the skylanders.
na bro. look there are enigma, pain yatta and now a my hot take ninjini who is the best giant in my oppinion if used correctly. and light only has two great skylanders that everyone likes. but respect your oppinion
Hot take I think Giants is the best game. The SSA characters are still actually good and the giants are way more memorable to than fucking superchargers.
It depends on where you live, but if you live in North America skylanders character list is probably the best place if there aren’t second hand stores near you

I somewhat agree, the story brings a good ending but having a 6th Skylanders game ain’t so bad
True, Imaginators was like one last money squeeze
Real hot takes:
*SSA hasn’t aged well and might be worse than Imaginators
*A new main antagonist was needed after Giants…Kaos was carried hard by Richard Steven Horvitz VA work, but it would’ve been better if future games had someone new
*the ambush system in Giants was a fantastic idea that wasn’t used enough
*Jet Vac and Pop Fizz are overrated AF, from a marketing and gameplay standpoint, literally any other Skylander from SSA deserved more notoriety
What was the ambush system? I haven't played Giants in a long time.

LOVE SuperChargers to death! One of my all time favourite video games!
My hot takes:
Imaginators is mediocre and if they took more time to make it better we might still have Skylanders.
If Skylanders came back now with a game like the old ones it wouldn’t have success
coldest take ive ever seen, calling imaginators bad or mediocre is like saying the sun is hot
@@rubyjrdx yeah but I haven’t seen many say that if they took more time to make it we would still have new games
@@paninoselvatico5815 valid
Dude my brother and I couldn't finish Trap Team because the floating head boss would always crash our wii
One thing I like to do with sprocket is press here 3rd attack the instantly press her primary
Blastermind I think has the most swapper potential.
What do you have to say about skylanders making a colab with youtooz? (Please make a vid on this)
i like this type of content . very good video!
Skylanders peaked at giants. Fell off after trap team, and died at imaginators.
I actually liked the vehicles and vehicle sections in superchargers
3 minutes in and there’s supercharger defenders💀
Swap Force is the 2nd best game, after Trap Team. The gimmicks and Skylanders were phenomenal. The story of Swap Force was also peak. Also, Trap Team has Chill Bill, so ofc it's S tier.
They should 100% make a Skylanders 7, and I'd rather they milk the franchise for all it's worth than leave it dead. Sure, there should be some way to get Skylanders without buying the whole physical box set, like maybe unlocking 1 token after each level and getting a digital version of 1 Skylander from that game to use. (i could go more in-depth about my thoughts but im too lazy)
As someone who only owns Wii Xbox 360 and ps2 I was amazed by the graphics which is why I said that
purely my opinion but if they do come out with a new skylanders game they would have to have the characters come out in a digital format. This’ll give everyone an opportunity to play the skylanders without having to go into a store to get new figures, but I also think they should still have figure but have them act more like how amiibo works with nintendo giving possibly a new power or access to an exclusive level. There would also have to be backwards compatibility with earlier skylanders so like you have a portal from trap team your able to use it with the game so that you can use figures you already have or them come out with a special portal for the game, but in the end it is still my opinion so you can debate about whether or not this would be a good idea.
If you think wrecking ball is bad, play him in Swap Force on the top path, for some reason his tongue anility has double damage in this game, and it makes him really good, especially for bosses.
I wonder if Trap Shadow would have made a better datk type than magic
I haven't seen a Skylanders Hot takes in a while you should do more hot takes videos.
i really gotta play the series again, i miss my lil goobers
8:23 Hey, I know that guy
He is keeping up the dates for future skylanders content.
who?
My "hot" take, the senseis sucked, there is only like, maybe 10 of them who I actually like, that's only 1/3 who are good, the rest are mid or just straight up bad imo
Overall, Imaginators was the worst game in the series (although I haven't played Spyro's Adventure or Superchargers and only partially played Giants at a friends house when I was younger) the levels are boring and uncreative, there is a level straight up called "abandoned amusement park", there is nothing unique about it, not even a fun name, like COME ON, god damn ABANDONED AMUSEMENT PARK
Talk about running out of ideas
I love skylanders giants it was my first skylanders game and it is a game that still holds up to this day in my opinion😄
Is this a hot take: Blastermind is good and he's my 10th favorite Skylander, favorite Trap Master, was my 3rd Skylander to be fully maxed our (money, levels and upgrades) just behind 2 Stealth Elfs and I think he's one of the best.
In fairness, I only have 2 Trap Masters.
I thought the title said, "rating to the hottest skylanders"💀
My hot take: trap team is the worst the balance of the skylanders is all over the place they ether hit hard or they don't do enough damage, also tt don't have any heroic challenges or any thing to permitly raise your stats, and I find to villain gimmick kinda breaks the game, like why would I use a skylander that doesn't even do that much damage when I can use buzzer beek that does 300
My take is that Superchargers is better than swap force, trap team and spyro's adventure
My hot take is that the weakest cast skylander wise is giants if you want me to explain most of the skylanders aren’t very good jet vac, sprocket, flash wing, hotdog, ninjini, and most of the characters in the game are series 2 figures I do like most of the newer ones like pop fizz, swarm, and tree rex and like some series 2 wow pows like Chop Chops, Zaps, and Bash’s I don’t like how a chunk of the characters are reused and or unfun
The roster may be not fun in your opinion, but the giants roster is a very powerful cast, there are no bad giants cores from a potential standpoint, they are all great objectively
@@rubyjrdx I agree most are pretty good and I’d say none of the giants are completely trash but when comparing it to the rest of the games it seems fair to say it’s weaker than the others
@@Supersonic-tq1ch valid
As a Wallop enjoyer (He's top 3 of all time for me) I can confirm that he is one of the greatest Skylanders if you wanna turn your brain off and just go caveman mode.
But if you want to do even the slightest amount of thinking, then yeah, go with literally anyone else
Pain-Yatta is the best Skylander and Villain
He is an Icon, he is a Legend and he is The Moment
Hey can you draw skylanders for the light and dark elements for swap force
My hottest take is that everything after Trap Team is kinda awful.
My hot take: the starter pack for imaginators should have been grave clobber+tri tip and king pen should have been a ninja instead of overshadowing a skylander that nobody cared about in the first place
Misread the title and thought you were ranking the hottest skylanders. Very dissapointed after rereading it
Personally, I feel that the Imaginator creation system was just way too restricted and a bit kessy where it's bhardbto really make a good imaginator without it looking weird and unnatural. Each class was limited to a ferrain body type which was the same for all except for two which just makes it even harder to really work with. Ine thing that also bothers me is how there was no true animalistic Skylanders after Trap Team since Superchargers needed bipedal like characters to drive vehicles and Imaginators was locked to a more humanoid like shape whereas true animals and fantastical creature aren't or beasts aren't really made. I know the planned sequel was supposed to add more classes and body types, but that should've been in the base game in the first place as it would've left a much hetter inpression with the creation aspect.
Wildfire is one of my favorite skylanders, and I know a lot of the lore, watch many skytubers and know a lot about the figures. How is that very little?
Also Swap force is the most boring game inside the series
I never had a glitch on wii u version of trap team
Look I’m just calling cap. I also have Wii U trap team and I’ve experienced animation glitches and I had to restart the golden desert twice due to the bombers simply refusing to throw or the bomb hitbox getting stuck on a wall
I've had many glitches on the Wii version. Still really enjoyed the game!
In SSA and giants if you use chop chop sword path against Evil Knight Minion it freezes the game
At this point, Superchargers being good isn't a hot take anymore, from what I'm seeing here
How did you use a sensei on spyros adventure ? Please someone answer?
I am looking for a copy of trap team and the portal for Xbox one. Anyone know where I should look?
14:35 I think you just aren’t using mystical right.
SuperChargers is overhated.
Why are most of the hot takes abt super chargers like we get it you think superchargers is underrated but because there are so many of you saying that a larger percentage of people are saying that it’s good so it’s no longer underrated
this video was worth my 3 dollars
Another Collection Stream?
I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the people who commented one of those hot takes has died of old age in the time that it took the video to come out
Ok I’ll bite. No one said this in the video so I’ll be the first to say it. Imaginators is undoubtedly the worst in the franchise. (sorry Cloud)
It has the worst story, the worst gameplay, the worst boss fights, it is a recycled game with models and stuff from old games (Superchargers), it was very rushed and thus has rushed ideas and concepts in levels, it had micro transactions, and the side content is horrendous.
The only good parts of this game is the gimmick, the roster, and is the only game in the series where you can play all the skylanders.
Coldest take ever
Why are all of these about Superchargers
15:00 or Ka-Boom’s Bottom Half❓
Hot take best one right here bloom boom is the hottest skylander and is the baddest😂🙏
Very hot take : light is better than magic
na bro. look there are enigma, pain yatta and now a my hot take ninjini who is the best giant in my oppinion if used correctly. and light only has two great skylanders that everyone likes. but respect your oppinion
@@noahreichmann same ninjini is underrated
@@mattiadalladea372 look at my other comment can you agree?
Hot take I think Giants is the best game. The SSA characters are still actually good and the giants are way more memorable to than fucking superchargers.
Ngl swap force didn’t have that good of a gimmick (still a good game tho)
Ngl imaginators soundtrack slaps
@@BurritoSloths n̈œ
GET OUT!
Stock music?
Hehehhehehehehehehehehhehehe (this is Phantom Nugget btw)
@@BurritoSloths :trollface:
What’s the best way to buy skylanders now?
It depends on where you live, but if you live in North America skylanders character list is probably the best place if there aren’t second hand stores near you
Superchargers stans took this opportunity and ran. Mainly because they know it’s a hot take because superchargers is mid at best
free ranger is a bottom 5 swapper for me
he’s just not for me
^ this comment was from a hitstop hater^
hot take snap shot is boring and just feels dull
