Talk:Bad Rayman: Difference between revisions

== Continued nitpicking over the title of the article. ==

I find it odd that no one seems to have mentioned that "Dark Rayman," as presented in Rayman 1, is a parody of Dark Link from the Zelda series, in both appearance and behavior. This would seem to indicate that Dark Rayman would be the most appropriate title for the unnamed character.

Reading the talk page, it seems that the reason for titling the article "Bad Rayman" seems to stem from something written in the manual for the British release of ''Rayman Brain Games''. The manual for a semi-obscure edutainment spinoff seems like a bit of an iffy source to me; I can't imagine the writers were paid very much for their trouble, and were likely translating from a French manuscript.

To note, in the American copy of the game I have, the manual doesn't have any references to "Bad Rayman," though I'd like to point out that the Magician is intermittently and incorrectly referred to as "the Wizard."

Moreover, the release of Revenge of the Dark is on the somewhat distant horizon. If the game is to be considered canon, the character is going to be explicitly referred to as "Dark Rayman" over the course of the game, as the primary antagonist, which would make the title of this article a bit silly. --[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5nMFC7r5fHTOCD8qfR5pmA RayMedia]

::::::::::In my opinion,the easiest way to solve this is to leave Bad Rayman,DarkRay(he was already confirmed) and Raymesis(He looks totally like DarkRay) as the same characters and create a new page for the Dark Rayman from IL.

::::::::::I know there is a good reason why'd you think Bad Rayman and Dark Rayman are the same,but if Dark Rayman does what Bad Rayman did in the past,it doesn't automatically mean they are the same.If we go on the appearance way,I think that would the simplest path to solve this--[[User:TFDs39|TFDs39]]
