"Ranking the series' female characters in order of MILF energy

Number 1. Murray

Nu- *immediately gets shot*"

"Henriette strikes me as the kind of pirate who wouldn't let her crew settle with just any gruel. She would be someone that's willing to put herself on the line by stealing from oligarchs just so she could get her hands on their hoarded stash of ingredients."

"Even though he is also incredibly stereotypical, I think it's interesting that most folks are pretty chill about Rioichi. Even if he's not a fan-favorite, at worst people just kinda shrug. Given how polarizing Sly 4 was, I wonder how he managed to escape relatively unscathed."

"Am I the only one who thinks Murray isn't fat, but rather has the shape and healthy weight for a hippopotamus?"

"I'm sad that SuckerPunch never gave Murray the spotlight he deserved, always left aside to give more importance to Bentley and Sly. They did my man dirty."

"When I was a kid my dad bought me a second-hand copy of Sly 3 and it didn't come with 3D glasses or a manual. My dream was always to say yes to Bentley in those 3D levels. 😢"

"Fans point to Penelope’s betrayal as one of the worst writing choices in the series, but I do wonder if there was any contention towards the Panda King alliance when Sly 3 came out. Admittedly, the episode goes out of its way to justify the reasoning behind it—hell, the title speaks for itself—though I don’t doubt some people out there rejected it on the grounds of being fundamentally flawed. Dimitri joining the gang seemed plausible enough because he didn’t have any deep connection with them aside from the Clockwerk affair. Me personally, I don’t agree or disagree but I wouldn’t put it past the internet that there’s some forum archives lying around that showed posters going back and forth about this criticism."

(My two cents on this is, when the game first came out (albeit, I was 11), I thought this was a very cool plot point because it forced Sly to confront a dark part of his past, while also showing that the villains were capable of change. And it wasn't all hunky dory either, there was a ton of tension between them and the scene of Panda King having to literally convince himself that he should move on and NOT take revenge on Sly blew my 11 year old self away. I still think it works well as a plot point, because it had care put into how it would work.

"Sometimes I like to think of a potential fighting game version of the series. Murray would be a grappler, obviously, and I think Bentley would be a puppet character with his gadgets. Carmelita would probably be a rushdown. Dimitri would be the obligatory random wacky bullshit character that everyone hates playing against."

"I'm not sure I understand where Murray/Jing came from. I mean, I'm not opposed to it or anything, I'm just not sure where it came from given that the two literally never interact."

Assuming this is for discussion and isn't a full confession lol

Let's see...

> Sly 2 is the worst of the trilogy.

> The Penelope betrayal was pure cinema.

"It’s sad to think that in a different timeline, Murray could’ve ended up like McSweeney."

"Although I love the level design, I would have liked it to be better suited to Murray and Bentley and not just to Sly's verticality."

"Murray is forever my bisexual icon!"

"Honestly, the recent news about dormant IPs being licensed out by Sony to smaller/indie studios makes me more optimistic about seeing Sly Cooper again. That and of course how Ratchet & Clank got their new game Rift Apart, along with Astro Bot doing so well. The future seems to be looking bright, we should keep the momentum going."
