Not only would the original Hunter have won over intended protogees, he also would have been very reassuring to a bewildered young kid who has to navigate in an utterly unfamiliar universe!

    Hunter in Reignited is like some generic cereal brand mascot trying to peddle his radical, sugary Hunter-O's. That's what happens when you make characters more "likable" instead of more dynamic. Gregg Berger brought Hunter to life with his iconic, slow pronunciation of dialogue. I liked how he was my ally but with some underlying jealousy fueling a friendly competition between him and Spyro. It was relatable. At the time, Hunter's character was subversive to the 90's 'Poochie-esque' "cool" sidekick. Reignited completely stumbles with striking that charming balance.

Though I don't like that show, I think Daymond has talent, and I am glad he got to show it here. I guess it kinda makes up for him being in a bad show like Breadwinners.

    Well I disagree but to each their own I guess. Something about Greg Burger's portrayal as Hunter just felt like it added to the identity to the original trilogy, like he'd add enough to a game to make it feel memorable. Even in Enter The Dragonfly (yes I'll be complimenting that mess!) as well as A Hero's Tail he had enough from the original trilogy to be distinguishable to ... well Hunter! Whilst I don't think he's bad as a character in Reignited, he honestly just sort of feels like every hipster character I've seen in other games which is kind of sad since I don't really think of this version of Hunter when I think of Spyro.

    Honestly, Spyro 3 was, in my opinion, the only good performance Gregg Berger did with Hunter. In 2, he was very rough around the edges in his voice and his line delivery came off as strained and unnatural, much like Milton James as Moneybags. So I'm grateful Robbie Daymond fixed that in the Reignited trilogy. Still, I can't decide which version I prefer. He's definitely much prettier to look at than in the 90s (lol) but I've always had a fondness for his more relaxed way of being comic relief in the original, though the more zanier antics in the Reignited trilogy is still very much enjoyable. He's nowadays been called a furry version of Shaggy from Scooby Doo which kinda makes sense given the cowardly nature of his character and implications that he's a stoner. lol Great video Erin! I love these discussions from you!

    I like the original MUCH better. The thing with hunter is that he's a loveable goofball, and a coward with a big heart, I still don't get how anyone could have hated hunter back when they first played the game. By making him more athletic they took away the cowardice of his character which makes the cutscene where he's trying to get the gem back make no sense if hunter is so athletic, then why didn't he try to get the gem back, so they could have the " hey... give that back... well I tried!" Joke but it doesn't make sense anymore with the way that line is delivered now hunter seems more lazy than a coward, plus the whole being athletic thing NEVER comes up later in the game other than the skate park minigames.

    The changes they made to the scene where Hunter tells Ripto to "Give it back" grated on me something fierce in the Reignited, and is a prime example of Toys For Bob completely misunderstanding the humour of the original. The whole point of the scene was that the best he could come up with was to tell him to give it back, instead of physically trying to stop him. It's nowhere near as funny if he's actually trying like he does in Reignited, so instead we have an altered scene that removes the quality of the original and adds nothing of lasting value in its place.
    That's not the only example though. Take the "You gotta believe!" line that clearly homaged Parappa, with the delivery being completely off and now losing both the intention and the context of the original for that line to land.
    And of course, we have the outro to Breeze Harbour, where the joke was that the land-lubbers were pointing at each other for who should be shot by the cannon next, the whole "not me, get him instead" situation. So the cannon goes back and forth, until two land-lubbers agree to point at the one on the far right, who desperately points at them before being blasted away. It's a classic gag you'd see in a Looney Toons skit, and nothing like that is present in the Reignited version of that scene.
    Again, why bother changing something if you're not going to improve on it? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. They might be minor changes in the grand scheme of things, but they're far from my only problem with Reignited, and if I can say this much about the trimmed-out humour.. well.

    • @MiharuTheFox

    Old Hunter: Derpy, cowardly, silly boi
    New Hunter: Awkward surfer boi DUUUUUUUUUUDE.
    I'm pretty okay with the change. Took a while to get used to his design, but it's fine. I don't know, the only thing I didn't like was the shape of his head. Idk why it doesn't sit with me correctly. Maybe it's because I had a neutral view throughout the series, old and new. He looks like an actual adult anthro character. I like that he looks more active now to kinda hint on the kind of character he becomes in the later games. Personality wise, I also think he's fine. I think I huffed in a chuckling way or something when I saw some of his goofy moments. I'm not one to like the stereotypical surfer dude voice, but it didn't sound too overdone, unlike a certain otter from Hero's Tail.
    And I think I would choose the awkward skater dude over the dopey stoner voiced boi in most days. He doesn't sound like he's slow talking to a child.

    heh my friend Lukethefox likes to refer to Hunter's voice in the original Spyro 2 as "A bad John Wayne impersonation." I also really like his refined design in the Reignited Trilogy, and the animation really gives him a lot more personality. Especially that face that he makes when Spyro's talking back to him in the intro to Spyro 2. I was fine with Hunter back in the original but looking back at it now, the model hasn't aged well. I mean, that mouth, it makes him look like a frikkin Muppet. At least now he looks more like a Cheetah and the little detail of keeping that bow and quiver on him was also nice. And he has a more consistent sounding voice which was great! Rather odd how he had a deep and low voice in the original Spyro 2 and then sounding higher in the original Spyro 3.

    yeah I think Hunter was always SUPPOSED to be like this, but they didnt do it right originally, so they fixed the new one, they gave him a new better voice actor he can actually voice act, they gave him way better animations, imo he felt like he was always SUPPOSED to be spyros buddy/rival, but he just came off as an obstructing yet charming obstacle in the game, but in the new one, they've changed him to perfectly nail the true intent and vibe he was supposed to be, this feels like a patch/fix and upgrade

    Thank you for making this video. I'm always defending the new change Hunter has made in the reignite trilogy. The funny thing is that I love both versions of them. Hunter in Reignite trilogy is like your best friend that's always in competition with you. Old Hunter is like a Goofy uncle that talks like you're a child that's willing to give you a treat if you help him out on chores. I think kids who didn't grew up with the original trilogy would like hunter as much.

    The *second* I heard how the "new" Hunter speaks - I realized that the "old" one is better. Not because of nostalgia, though.
    The old one talked slowly, and emphasized on the key words. He wasn't like your hip skater/surfer buddy - he was acting like your ... dad. The one who wants to make you, y'know ... learn. No wonder he was the "tutorial" character.
    The "old" Hunter wanted to pass the knowledge of doing things to you in a way even a youngest child would understand, and the "new" one delivers the "Here are the instructions. You got them? Yes? No? Well, no matter, I'm in a hurry, you'll be fine." vibe, imho.
    And the looks of the "new" Hunter reminds me of the Sonic the Hedgehog movie trailer. Sure, he received the improved looks (with the help of DX11), but lost his goofy uniqueness, becoming an explicitly mediocre cartoon cheetah.
    You already discussed how *the way* dialog lines were spoken affected the gameplay experience, in your Bianca and Elora vids - it's the same with Hunter. When I first heard *how* he explained the gliding mechanics in Spyro 2 (sadly, started from the second Spyro game), and I thought to myself "I *will* master gliding! I must!". And how intriguing Hunter sounded when he said about seeing "something shining over there" (end part of a gliding tutorial in Spyro 3), and the acting perfection within the "It's a cat thing." line (when Hunter explains how to swim underwater in Spyro 3). All of that was "converted" into "average" voice lines you hear in the mediocre Saturday cartoon series on your local cable TV...

      Actually, that was probably what they were going for. I felt most of the original trilogy fans played the games a kids. When I first got the game, I was still trying to learn how to read, so I think the slow way of speaking helped younger player (such as myself at the time) a lot with gameplay instructions.

  • @ashessakura7518

    I know this is very likely the nostalgia goggles talking but old Hunter being a sarcastic coward was a lot more fun to me as a kid like just yelling at Ripto to give it back because he’s too much of a coward to actually try and take him on always cracks me up. New Hunter feels very… Saturday morning cartoon character if you get me, it feels like this one wouldn’t wait around watching Avalar get ruined without stepping in whereas I see the old one absolutely waiting for someone else to do most of the heavy lifting because there’s no chance HE can take on Crush, Gulp and Ripto.
    I do appreciate that the reignited gave him his bow and arrows though, no matter how rarely they were used

    I completely agree with you about Hunter! In the original he came across quite condescending whereas his Reignited one breathed new life into the character. Sure he's not the brightest but that's part of his charm. In the original he came across as a patronizing jerk but Reignited makes him the loveable dork he was always meant to be.

    There is something about the design that I love about both of them, the original hunter was like a Winnie the Pooh character, while reignited is like Madagascar or Zootopia (but without the clothes and all that) and one is either more laid back or more goofier than the other, so I'm just hooked on both.
    I'm glad reignited had more character though, although I'm not really good at analyzing things so I enjoy both regardless lol

    Aside from his new design, which I love - I just like how he feels more like a buddy to me rather than just some awkward cheetah that sometimes shows up throughout the journey. And I actually like that he is a comic relief character that also shows more seriousness in his dialouge; I think he was absolutely improved

But same can kinda be said about the direction of the voices in reignited in general I suppose.
