Board Thread:Sly Cooper series discussion/@comment-25166563-20150712082102

When Dimitri debuted in Sly 2:Band of Thieves, he was evil from the beginning as he was a member of the Klaww Gang, a group of drug/spice dealers who were supposed to help their leader Arpeggio put the Clockwerk Parts back together for the little bird to merge into the frame with.

Then the next time Dimitri appeared, is Sly 3:Honor Among Thieves, but he was one of the two villains to have converted from evil to good, along with Fiendish Five member Panda King.

When Penelope debuted in Sly 3:Honor Among Thieves, she debuted as a good character who quickly joined the Cooper Gang after they defeated her makeshift costume Black Baron. She initially was supposed to fall in love with Sly, but after Blood Bath Bay, she fell in love with Bentley instead.

However, come Sly 4:Thieves in Time, many fans were outraged about Penelope's sudden shift from good to evil. They probably must've thought Dimitri should be the one to revert back to his crooked ways instead, given that he was a failed paint artist-turned-dodgy nightclub owner back in Paris in the first place. No surprise if Dimitri worked for Le Paradox without hesitation. So when the Cooper Gang was back to the original trio of Sly, Bentley and Murray w/Carmelita, can you imagine Dimitri going back to his old ways at all in Sly 4, given that he had a minor non-speaking role as opposed to Penelope, who had a non-speaking role in FMV cutscenes whereas she only spoke in in-game cutscenes.

If you have the eyes of a longtime Sly Cooper fan who lasted through Sly 4, do you think Dimitri should've been the one who went back to his former life of crime instead of Sanzaru forcing Penelope to be a generic evil villain in Sir Galleth's world? Give me a 100% support if you agree with me about Penelope's forced turn from good to evil.

And for more pleasure...let me know if you think Dimitri should go back to his evil ways 100%.
