Of course it should contain references!
The concept of Rayman is created in a small world, yet expending, which has many different sides. However, each place has something common, and the Animated Series supports this idea. Someone who states that making a Rayman series without anything included from the original video game obviously never looked into Rayman very deeply.
If this''ruined'' the series, the why did all of Super Mario shows become such a huge success? Basically, it was a video game made into a cartoon. The Super Mario Bros. movie did not follow the concept of Super Mario, and well know what that turned out to be...
I suggest Wario gains some perspicacity before he randomly insults all of the members. How could you possibly judge someone before even knowing the person? I hugely doubt this person has taken a intelligent look at each of the Rayman Pirate-Community members, and taking notes of their personality. Would someone like this be able to make a better statement then someone such as Haruka, which is far more experienced? Would this person be able to make a better statement then Spiraldoor? Ikke? Hunchman? Me? I recommend that you join a forum before you judge it.
There, that would be my response.
