In response, the elven sorceress confronted the Undead Dragon King in his domain of the Underworld and successfully battled Malefor, nearly destroying him. Once Cynder was freed from his control by Spyro, Malefor later made several attempts to capture a powerful, gifted elven sorceress named Hex to learn the secrets of her powers. Malefor was first mentioned as a background villain who was responsible for corrupting Cynder after his minions stole her as an egg, bestowing her the powers of the Undead element. He is the first in the rare line of magical purple dragons like Spyro. Malefor, also known as the Undead Dragon King, is a character in the Skylanders franchise, self-proclaimed Dragon ruler of the Underworld of Skylands. It would avoid any toxic situations between old and new fans and in the end of the day we would have more games with Dragons as main protagonists.Summon every Skylander from the far corners of this world to stand before my might and be broken! I am Malefor! And I am magnificent! but it wouldn't be called The Legend of Spyro of course then.
SKYLANDERS SPYRO SERIES
Also I don't understand why in minds of these publishers a game in this setting must have Spyro in it, I would be also happy to see TLoS series rebooted without even Spyro in it. Still, the Spyro games remain the only games with Dragons as a main characters and "good" ones. This is Activision's fault to abandon everything these was and to create a new universe and put a Spyro in it for marketing, hoping to grab players who knew that character. There would be no hate of Skylanders if the Dragon in it wouldn't be a Spyro. They sold it as Spyro game as you said when it wasn't. It's Activision who scrapped everything and made Skylanders instead after Vivendi Games merged with it. Still, I don't get the hate towards the game itself. The argument of original poster is bad because of that because CTR is just a guest appearance and a completely different situation as you wrote.

Or if companies behind the Spyro would made different universes side by side instead of scrapping old and creating new. I guess everything would be different if the character wouldn't be called Spyro. The problem is that it was literally sold as a Spyro game.
SKYLANDERS SPYRO MOVIE
There was The Legend of Spyro movie planned but it was cancelled because the decision was made to make Skylanders universe instead. The TLoS however in my eyes had great potential. Same thing happened for example with Test Drive Unlimited 2. When you rush and cut things, the result will not be great. Personally I love TLoS, the main problem of TLoS is that every game was made with too low budget, that's why TEN gameplay is no different than first game and is was plagued with meh controls and that's why DoTD had its content cut left and right and many things rushed.
