Ninjago Crystalized E22 - E30 thoughts

forgot this was in my drafts

EP 22

ronin is a legend. he got done so dirty like... he had such a good arc in s5 only for the writers to revert him to a generic thief. and the ninja were just chill with getting him locked up in ninjago’s prison for the worst criminals?? what the hell guys. add onto this how corrupt/ incompetent the leadership and justice systems in ninjago seem and... phew, that’s some bootlicking from our favourite little legos /hj

nya knowing stuff about plants is so cute. let them have more interests outside of ninja-ing!

the production value on these fights really is good

oh wow master wu could really use an elemental dragon right about now!

"i fished out the last one" LOL

doing it again in the same canal LMAO thats an L having to give wu mouth to mouth. also not sure that’s what you should do with someone who still has water in their lungs

EP 23

aww cute jaya moments

nya has her powers back! wow i sure enjoyed her well developed arc that was so worth them bringing her back!! /s

aww i love these kids having their own little counterattack. kiddos aren’t your families looking for you?

love how antonia went from wanting to quit to being adamant they should fight back

"i am not about to lead a bunch of children against the embodiment of evil and darkness!" soooo like every other season? "that never stopped you before!" TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUTTA MY MOUTH LOL DRAG HIM

kind of surprising just how many times wu wants to quit and others have to remind him that ninja never quit, my brother in fsm you taught them that

btw this should have been the s10 ending just oni instead of the overlord. still mad about how rushed that season was.

EP 24

honestly idc about lloyd’s whole angst with his dad, they act like sensei garmadon never existed. evil garmadon hasn’t even been around long enough for lloyd to be super disappointed in him on a personal level like that. why can’t he instead be angry at this garm because he’s not the father he remembers and only serves as a walking reminder that he’ll never see sensei garmadon again.

dragon form let’s goooo

side note i miss lloyd saying dregon

omg the ice emperor are we actually talking about this

oh we're just gonna brush over it and make it a joke. got it.

RONIN MVPPP

borg tower yet againnnn also this guy was so focused on his projects he didn’t realise the apocalypse was happening? i love him

pixal: ronin why are you helping us?

WOW WE REALLY JUST IGNORED SEASON 5 HUH JUSTICE FOR RONIN

EP 25

few notes here bc i was too busy staring at the lava

the way he softly calls coles name when he wakes up ToT

kai fighting by himself to protect cole dsfgsd lowkey wish that fight had been extended for the wump but also so skylor can come just in the nick of time

i like the implication that skylor doesnt keep those powers forever, she has to touch an elemental master again to “recharge” so to speak. makes her much less op so that’s cool.

wu broadcasting on all frequencies but wouldn’t the bad guys hear him too?

that transition from the ninja running over the manhole to lloyd and garmadon being in the sewers is super cool. i love cinema.

lloyd's argument with garmadon gives the implication he's mad at him for never being a good father but THATS A MOVIE PLOT NOT THE SERIES ARRRRGHH

what could’ve been cool if instead they made lloyd not want to embrace his oni side bc he's scared of the anger and resentment building up in him over all these years of being the green ninja. y’know like the fandom keeps harping on about but is never actually portrayed in the show.

one thing i like about these new seasons is the clear motifs and musical character themes. paper delivery professionals for the win.

the paper kids wearing home made outfits with pots on their heads gives me such codename kids next d00r vibes

actually i like these post apocalyptic vibes, with everyone trying to look for each other and hiding but rallying secretly.

aww that happy moment with the family then kai and skylor hhhhngngng if only they delved more into skylor and her childhood crying

EP 26

omg kai finally having his speech skills back!!!

weeeeell kinda. actually it's effective lol he's so cute with kids.

had to pause this skylor and kai moment bc im dying from cringe. also lmao all these seasons and they weren't really together? oh he hasn't even spoken to her all this time?? skylor was at nya's funeral i swear ToT

here's an F for the lava fans. it was a pleasure shipping with you o7

zane is broken yet agaaaaim

if jay and the others could figure out the hint about the newspapers then surely the bad guys could

RACER 7 I MISSED YOUUUUUUUU

also she's basically antonia lmao could they not have thought of a different design

"that paycheck of yours? kiss it goodbye"

I LOVE HER

stop fakeout deathing me with zane lmao we've done this 50 times already. wow she gave up pretty quickly huh.

oh for god's sake they'll reverse the fakeout death THAT quickly? i give up. and he lives just because of an emotional speech? please

can't believe tommy made a big deal about this and made everyone think they would split up somehow. oh wait he does that all the time and the fandom runs away with it every time. if you wanted emotional moments for zane and pixal you had a story about suppressing grief and trauma right there! why was pixal ok with him completely turning off his emotions earlier anyway?

oh well pixal's squeal of delight was adorable though

EP 27

lloyd: relying on others isn’t weak!

cheers i’ll drink to that. again this could have been really impactful after an arc about trusting too much to mistrusting too much to finally hitting that balance.

cuta jaya moment but nya's arc this season is basically generic “believe in yourself” and like. we've done that before. they literally just brought her back to return to the status quo for the “last” season.

racer 7: speed. i am speed.

ok i know i complain about ignoring the old seasons but at least they tried to tie in the other new seasons like calling vania and benthomar and all that. it's basically a replacement for when previous seasons would bring back the other EMs and such and i guess it makes sense since this is a different era of ninjago. all of that falls apart when they insist on bringing back characters like garmadon though...

oh finally they didn’t fall into the canal for once!

oh no if they make cole and vania get together i’m gonna...read the entire hs epilogues and hs2. worst thing i could think of.

the others are either gonna find another way to find out what happened and come to help them in the nick of time, or this was just a way of explaining why no one else came to help.

EP 28

oops i watched the final eps drunk after a party and I still haven’t gone back to rewatch them ^^; umm fun moments, dragon form was ???? out of nowhere and should have had a whole season centred around achieving this form, Nya’s character regressed, rushed ending considering how much history they had to tie up, llorumi bad and i miss those little legos already

#ninjago #ninjago crystalized #ninjago liveblog #if anyone actually reads this feel free to comment on anything #there's just. so much that could have been done better this season #my posts #dori watches ninjago

Role reversal evil ninja au (part 1)

Yes I know it’s been done before I’ve got it fully fleshed out and it’s bruise-centric (like everything I make) so hear me out

Jay was given to nadakan by the Gordons for their lives as a baby and he grew up on the ship as a slave

he escapes when he’s older by cutting off his leg and washes up on Kai’s (Chen’s) island

Kai takes his powers and keeps him as a prisoner

Kai is collecting the elements because he wants power and Nya practices dark magic like Clouse

Chen had stolen the fire and water powers from their parents and kept the kids, keeping them before Kai killed him and took over

Cole was cursed by Nya after his powers were taken and is forced to be her servant with a special amulet she has that controls ghosts

Cole has to guard Jay (after an escape attempt) and they bond

Nya is power hungry though and wants to take out Kai

So she stages a coup but Jay steals her amulet and gives it to Cole

Cole tried to kill her for revenge but she banishes him to the cursed relm and flees

Jay also excapes and Kai is left alone (well Skylors there too I guess)

~small time jump~

The first Spinjitzu master created ninjago but returned to the first realm and raised garm and wu there

They were the “keepers of the 16 realms” and basically took over everything

FSM was the first Lord and is basically a god, he kept the staff of creation and whoever the Lord is possess it and has the golden power

Garmadon takes over becoming Lord Garmadon but doesn’t “interfere with mortal lives” much which upsets Lloyd

Lloyd sees the robbery and murder across the realms as chaos and begs his father to intervene

Their ideals don’t match up but Lloyd becomes the next Lord

he deams himself the balance of good and evil and becomes a tyrant trying to control everything in ninjago

He starts by trying to remove elemental masters

He finds Kai and defeats him easily with the golden power and combines the two staffs together

Kai begs for his life and says he’ll collect elemental masters for Lloyd and Lloyd agrees

His next job is to place a proper ruler over ninjago to control the people

That’s the “overlord” or as we know him Zane

Dr. Julien lived on the dark island because he was experimenting with dark matter on machinery as a power source

He, of course, had no real clue to it’s properties other than it was powerful and used it on his android Zane

Zane becomes corrupted and instead of having been built to protect, he was built to destroy

He kills Julien and is the “ruler” of the dark island but with no subjects (besides the few other nindroids he built) and no way off the island he’s left unsatisfied...untill Lloyd shows up

Lloyd offers to make him an Emperor as long as he follows his rules and he agrees

Zane takes over ninjago city and steadily begins to cover the whole continent in his influence

He doesn’t allow much expression and the people are forced to work jobs to keep everything running, it’s honestly pretty miserable but it could be worse

Meanwhile Jay has gotten back on his feet (literally!) and finds The Bounty in the sea of sand hijacking it and forming his own crew

He pillages ports for parts and eventually works with Zane who wants him to weaken villages so it’s easier for his Nindroid army to take over

He gives jay Echo as a form of payment and communication between them

Lloyd finds out about pirates in his waters and is not happy

He goes to kill Jay but Jay offers to take out Nadakhan for him and is allowed to live, he has a deadline of one month

Jay tries to find a way to the cursed realm which eventually leads him to getting the realm crystal and frees Cole who has earned his place as their “king”

Cole also has a scyth that can curse anyone he cuts with it and is sometimes referred to as the Grim Reaper

Jay says he wants to get revenge on Nadakhan and wants Cole’s help (he doesnt tell him about Lloyd); Cole agrees as long as he helps him find Nya for his own revenge

Cole knows about jinn because the cursed realm is their sister realm and they have been in an eternal war

They have to get the Teapot of Turan

Lloyd gets impatient with how long jays taking and checks up on him and reconfirming his deadline, Cole is scared stiff and mad about being lied to so he tries to leave but Jay reminds him he saved him from Nya and stays(and maybe Cole doesn’t really want him to die...just a little bit)

they trap Nadakhan in the teapot and get rid of the crew [its really epic and emotional because Jay is facing his abuser]

Also they kiss :)

Jay is good on his deal and Cole stays with him as they pillage and search for Nya
