I think splat is in the book because in spell punk library you enter the books so splat is just representing what ever character your playing as
-
It’s nice to have a video like this. The Arkeyans have so much interesting lore, but you don’t usually see people exploring it online.
-
The Arkeyans are just like the Dwemer from the Elder Scrolls. They both experimented with crazy stuff and they suffered for it.
-
I had always assumed that Chop Chop was just a dead Arkeyan soldier, didn't know anything about him being a robot
-
You might not know this but the writer of the books was a literal caterpillar/worm so the guy might not have all the knowledge of that time period so he might’ve replaced the arkeyans with the skylanders without knowing a thing during the writing of those books or he hates the arkeyan’s guts so he didn’t put them in his books not sure
-
If another Skylanders game gets made, I honestly think the evil Arkeyans would make for nice villains.
-
Huh, you know that theory about the Arkeyans and Portal Masters being related is an interesting theory. I don't know if it's true but it's really cool to speculate on!
-
Skylands’ greatest tragedy
-
Hey everyone, just stopping in real quick to apologize about the low frame rate in some parts of the video. I dunno why it was doing that but it was completely fine when I was editing the separate videos
-
I think that Splat being there is an error OR they're just using her as shorthand to display the Skylanders of the time. OR, because we appear to quite literally become part of the book and fight the same battles as before, we become the Skylanders of old alongside our teammates. Like going into a movie and becoming part of the cast until you exit the movie.
-
Something I notice is that people assume that “hyper intelligent robots” can’t make mistake or don’t have culture. We need to think about how these things are sentient and probably similar to use
-
Love this analysis. I’d never think of arkeyans being portal masters but honestly I really see ur points.
-
You are one of the reasons why Skylanders is still alive, and I think some of your theories in this video may actually be true. I think the “Machine of Doom” is the good Arkeyan war machine in Giants, Ermit and the machine ghost helped the Skylander take down Robo Kaos so the evil Arkeyan’s wouldn’t conquer Skylands like they did 10,000 years ago. The good Arkeyan was probably called the “Machine of Doom” because someone knew that he would be the undoing of the Arkeyan’s and their conquest.
-
Oh man, hearing the theme for the first area of the Arkeyan Armory at the start took me back. That was the first melody I ever memorized. Those were the good old days.
-
I love Giants and I love the Arkeyans, thank you for this lore video.
-
Tbh the arkeyans are freaking everywhere in skylanders It’s like mint, (yes the plant) you can’t go 2 chapters without finding at least some correlation to these mechanical fucks, New problem? : Probably the arkeyans Big bad? : Probably the arkeyans New skylanders : Probably the arkeyans WHERE AREN’T THEY INVOLVED!?
-
7:48 this little section reminded me about my own theory about the Arkeyans in terms of the style: Since Skylands is so massive, I believe that the Arkeyans adapted to their surroundings in order to survive and gather resources efficiently. Each games Arkeyans are very unique overall, with Swap Force having the most unique designs/models. So for all the areas we DON'T see Arkeyans in there could be a variety of them. Just a silly theory lol
-
Theory for who the skylanders were: it claims there were skylanders in the war against the darkness, while these cant be the giants they could be the elder elemental. I know they are most likely the giants but its a possibility. Furthermore characters like Ninjini Crusher and Bouncer would have existed at this time and with no reason to have aggression against the Arkeyans it would make sense they would aid in fighting the Darkness.
-
The modern skylanders are in the book because they jumped into the book, in the level
-
Love the idea of the Arkeyans having a "Die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain" streak. Them being utterly horrified of an eldritch terror to the point of seeing realm enslavement and total militarization, as preferable alternatives to succumbing to the Darkness, feels like it'd be a Lovecraft-like story.
