#Rebooted

Finally putting these ideas into post form
so we know how the overlord is commonly accepted to be scared shitless of zane, that being the reason he put three anti-zane villains on his council, because he killed him for a lot longer than lloyd did. But i think there might be some more to that. See, the overlord knew of the prophecy and thus the possibility of losing to lloyd. So maybe he kept a backup plan, choosing a place that would allow him to come back easier for the final battle, which is where borg tower was built which enabled his return, and maybe even keeping some of his powers in reserve for that. He was still weakened of course, but he had a backup plan. And then after his fight with lloyd, there was no more prophecy as it had already come true, so there was nothing stopping him. This is where Zane comes in. Zane was never destined to defeat the overlord. And this was already the overlord‘s backup plan, so when Zane defeated him, not only had he no way to return for a long time, he also did not expect it. That is what i believe to be one of the main reasons the overlord was so scared of zane, thank you for coming to my TED talk

One of my favourite subtle things about Ninjago is Garmadon's body image arc. It's not something you'd really notice on a first viewing but in early seasons, Garmadon is actually quite concerned with his weight. The first instance of this is in season 1, when he's staying on the Bounty with the Ninja. During the montage of him being a horrible roommate, there's a scene of him eating "condensed evil", which of course grosses out the team.
Tumblr media
Kai comments on it to one of the other ninja, saying that "it's supposed to be low in fat". It's a throwaway line that wouldn't really matter, if it weren't for the next instance.
In season 3, Cyrus Borg reveals that he has attempted to create "a diet pill that actually works".
Tumblr media
Garmadon is the most intrigued by this invention, and near-frantically asks Borg if the pill actually works, telling Lloyd that he'll "understand when he's older". He shows strong disappointment when Borg says that the pill does not in fact work as intended.
These two scenes, taken together, are very telling. Garmadon for some reason or another is self-conscious about his weight.
Now, flash forward all the way to Crystalized and what do we see?
Tumblr media
Garmadon enjoying himself some pizza and canned drinks. (Now some might see this as another instance of him being a bad roommate, and while that is partially the case with him leaving chip bags and pizza boxes lying around, it's also fair to note that he tells Wu and Lloyd to avoid making a mess because "Vinny just vacuumed". So either this is just an error on the animation department's part, or Garmadon has some intention of cleaning up after himself (we also see a large stack of pizza boxes outside the apartment, implying that he's not just gonna leave them on the floor).)
Anyway, this scene shows significant character development on Garmadon's part for multiple reasons. The main point of this entire episode is to showcase how much effort Garmadon is putting in in his attempt to become a better person. And I'd like to think that part of that arc was about working through his issues with his weight and body image, because fun fact, being kind to yourself is part of being kind to others.
Anyway this is just a fun observation I had, and one of the many reasons why Roomie Garmadon is my favourite Garmadon.

Just realized:
The age you think the ninjas have directly correlates to how much time you think that happened between S2 "Legacy of the Green Ninja" and S3 "Rebooted"
It is the only time gap (excluding the merge) where they don't tell you how much time has passed. You are either "I am suspending my belief, it was only a year/ a few months" or a "Skales jr exists... so 6 years minimum right?"

ML AU: Childhood Soulmates (Rebooted)
-Honestly there isn’t too much I would change as it just makes it so Marinette had someone else in her life early on.
-Socqueline is an upper classmate that watched over Marinette.
-Marinette never developed a crush on Kim which was never exploited, she had her feelings set on Adrien early on. So Marinette never developed that trauma.
-Chloé was still a bully to her and still made her life miserable like in canon. But Adrien was her friend and helped keep her grounded.
-Sabrina is a lot more reluctant to obey Chloé, even early on. Seeing Chloé stop going as hard on Marinette was great, and she even manages to apologize.
-When Adrien arrived at school, Chloé found out that Marinette was this guy’s best friend and suddenly bullying her directly seemed a lot harder, especially because Adrien isn’t as forgiving of Chloé as he doesn’t have that friendship with her. So Chloé is watching her step.
- So unlike the original iteration, this AU doesn’t end on Chat Blanc as an episode.
-I called the unification of Hawkmoth and The peacock blue morpho, but now it will be Shadowmoth.
- Chat Blanc was the 2 part Season 3 finale, though instead of parts it would be Chat Blanc and Shadowmoth.
-After the events of Chat Blanc, Marinette is the guardian, Adrien is the one who knows she is guardian and her boyfriend. It is really them against the world.
-The peacock is safe, and Marinette fixed it after the events of Chat Blanc.
-The butterfly miraculous ends up in Felix’s clutches, not Lila or Chloé. He had been doing some digging and sure enough he found everything in the Agreste house to confirm his theories.
-Amelie ended up taking ownership of the Agreste manor until Adrien is 18 as the legal documents state. And after that legal business is settled, Amelie convinces Adrien to live with her and Felix in the manor.
-Felix discovers new ways of utilizing the Butterfly miraculous, (unlike in canon where he doesn’t like using the peacock miraculous, here he experiments)
-Mega Akuma becoming more than just a fancy name for akuma, they gave actual effects. Like emotional manipulation.
Adrien and Marinette in their post reveal relationship and are totally in sync. It’s somehow even more sweet than the season 5 adrinette.
-Marinette and Adrien actually do hand out a few miraculous to those that proved themselves. But only temporary in most cases. Except for Alya and Nino who get theirs permanently.
-Felix or Apollo (as he calls himself) found he can actually influence feelings by transmitting thoughts and emotions into others heads. Utilizing the Transmission concept. He calls this helping others SEE the light.
-He even gets skilled enough to create Multiple akuma at once.

Some thoughts on how season 3 could have been rewrited to be a bit more zane focused

I love headcanoning that both Sallys are the same Sally, AND that she's a former Darkley's kid because you have to figure out why she was at a boys' school (she's trans, obviously), why her parents in The Benefit of Grief don't seem evil (easy, she ran away and got taken in by a random couple), and why she doesn't recognize the Ninja + Dareth in The Benefit of Grief (she repressed her memories of her childhood so hard she totally forgot that they used to be her teachers)
Anyway I love Sally and everyone should treat her niceys.
