Its so funny that Arin and Sora have shown to have significantly better emotional intelligence than any of the ninja from all of the old seasons combined. "You should be taking care of your mental health" and "yeah saving the world is upsetting! no wonder you're having stress dreams" oh my precious children. You are surrounded by a teen dad with massive self-worth issues, the only one of two people who remembers the genie incident and also turned into the sea once, guy who's died like 3+ times and committed genocide under mind control, and a child soldier who's been living the hard knock life since age 2.
I hope to god you two are prepared to witness the most mentally unwell behavior you've seen in your entire teenage lives. You think you've already seen how bad it can get now? Fools. Just wait until you get a mission involving the Departed Realm
Watching Ninjago Dragons Rising for the past few days as I gradually upgrade the screen size to be bigger and bigger- I love it so damn much it's so good!! Maybe cuz I'm a Lloyd kinnie (so sorry Jay Cole and Zane fans) and he's like... a star in this first half
I really find it absolutely hilarious how a lot of the scenes felt like this. (Filthy dragons may not eat here for example lol) and I do hope that the writers have not forgotten about it/retconned it cuz I do think it explains why Lloyd was the one who was able to be the source dragon's conduit - it makes sense in a way.
