Ep 1. Episode 1

In Skylanders Academy season 2 episode 1, viewers are greeted by their favorite cast of characters, including Spyro, Eruptor, and Stealth Elf. The episode begins with the Skylanders returning from their victory in the prior season’s final battle, yet eager to counter the ever-looming threat posed by Kaos. As the Skylanders settle into their day-to-day routines, there’s a palpable sense of unease amongst them. There’s a feeling that Kaos is biding his time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

Throughout the episode, we see the Skylanders training, honing their skills and working hard to stay ahead of Kaos' schemes. Spyro, in particular, is struggling with his role as a leader, as he tries to balance his new responsibilities with his old desire for adventure and excitement. Meanwhile, Eruptor struggles with his own inner demons, plagued by doubts about his abilities and fears that he may not be able to protect his friends from Kaos' wrath.

Despite these challenges, the Skylanders don't lose their sense of humor or their sense of purpose. Their training continuously provides humorous moments, such as when Gill Grunt tries to teach everyone how to swim properly, which ends up causing one Skylander after another to fall into his pool. But as the episode progresses, we sense that the humor is also a tool they use to mask their fears.

As the Skylanders continue to prepare themselves for whatever Kaos might have in store for them next, a new danger rears its head. Although the team has been expecting Kaos to strike, they didn't anticipate the arrival of a new enemy, the Doom Raiders. These powerful, escaped villains seek revenge on the Skylanders for their previous imprisonment, and they're looking to unite all of Skylands under their banner.

Throughout the rest of the episode, the Skylanders start to face off against the Doom Raiders. It's clear from the outset that the Doom Raiders are a force to be reckoned with. Each of them has their unique skills and powers, making it challenging for the Skylanders to even hold their ground. As with everything else, however, the Skylanders face their enemies head on. They may humour themselves in the face of danger, but they never underestimate their foes.

All in all, the season opener of Skylanders Academy season 2 is an eventful, action-packed episode that promises much more excitement to come. The Doom Raiders are a significant threat to the Skylanders’ safety, and the tension between Kaos and the Skylanders is still mounting. The episode sets the stage for more significant developments as the season continues. Viewers who have followed the show thus far will certainly enjoy this new chapter, while those who are new to Skylanders Academy will find it easy to become invested in the characters' journeys.
