OK I GOT A LOT OF TOPICS AND IDEAS TO COVER SO EVERYONE GET READY.

IT MIGHT BE KIND OF ALL OVER THE PLACE SO IMMA MARK MY POINTS HERE.

1. The Grotto is BEAUTIFUL.

I mean like really, really pretty and i love how spacious it is, and stopping to appreciate it was nice and helpful to my brain.

2. The pool in the center.

Now is that just like, another scrying pool or something?

But like not the actual pool of visions?

Because literally every other moment in the game besides these two cutscenes, the room with the PoV looks hella small and way different than the Grotto.

The little stairs that lead up to where Spyro's egg was is also gone so to my mind it's just another pool or is for something else, maybe for meditation.

3. OK so Cynder's egg wasn't BLACK black (but in my head canon it's solid black), and in the second Grotto cutscene all the eggs kind of looked relatively the same, but a friend and i already discussed if there was gonna be an air dragon with an egg that dark, it would have to be melanistic anyway because genetics.

So i still don't buy into the air dragon idea, but to each their own and i will admit the drawings people do of her being white look really dope.

4. I know DAMN WELL that Ignitus did NOT lose by flopping onto his stomach and just laying there, all right in my head it was an epic fight scene to get that last egg.

~~The Fight~~

Ignitus returns, abhorred to see his companions unconscious and all the eggs smashed.

Yes he dives and slips, yes the apes cheer, but he GETS BACK UP AND CHASES THAT COMMANDER.

I see him chasing him through the Temple and catching him by the leg just as they're getting out the door.

Ignitus pulls the ape in and chomps into his neck.

BAM, KILLS EM DEAD.

But before the ape dies he tosses the egg and another ape catches it before hopping on a dreadwing.

At that time every other ape that was there is boarding the animals and starting to fly off, and the one carrying Cynder's egg starts to fly off.

Ignitus scrambles to his feet and tries to fly after the dreadwing, but after only being in the air for a few seconds another ape swoops by on his animal and clubs the Fire Guardian, knocking him out cold.

This way he is unable to follow them, as are the others.

Ignitus is the last to wake up and be faced with the ruin of the Grotto, and deal with the major loss.

He will also have to tell the others that the apes succeeded in taking an egg.

5. I imagine all the baby dragons were buried in graves marked by small stones a good distance from the Temple, somewhere safe and peaceful.

There was a funeral.

6. I actually love this scene. That sounds sick but hear me out; it's dark. It's real, it's painful, it's bitter. And the way the Guardians are shown lying unconscious, mouths agape, is very well done.

That burning sensation of innocence being taken, guilt, and the appearance of chaos is felt very strongly if you're invested emotionally in this trilogy.

And even if you're not, hot damn, that is dark.

Unborn dragons, all technically aborted days -- hell for some, hours before being ready to hatch.

Unfortunately even though they were so close, they needed just a little more time to finish developing.

I can also imagine with all those big, floppy stupid ape feet stamping everywhere and smashing the eggs and running over them, many were probably crushed to death and suffered serious injury that only further assured their deaths.

7. The commander picking up Cynder's egg and shaking it and listening to it before deciding "oh, yeah this one's good" is hysterical.

8. In my head canon there were 30 dragon eggs total consisting of fire, earth, water, ice, air and electric dragons. Each Guardian would primarily train one or two types.

Ignitus: Fire, Magma, Purple

Terrador: Earth, Water

Cyril: Ice, Air

Volteer: Electric (occasionally Air)

The number of each eggs were as follows:

Fire: 5

Earth: 5

Water: 5

Ice: 5

Air: 4

Electricity: 4

Magma: 1

Purple: 1

I'm done now, expect further elaboration because i'm rotten compost
