Rewatching the earlier, and even pilots episodes, of Ninjago are so WILD man. First of all, you notice all the things that are just plain forgotten about or pushed aside in later seasons. Kai originally being the main character, sure, we all know that one, but Cole was heavily implied to be, or become, the leader of the Ninja, that was Cole’s thing. Zane was automatically described with having a sixth seer sense, when nowadays it shows up very, very infrequently. Lloyd used to basically be the Avatar, does anyone remember that? This kid was just the Avatar.
And then you remember the silly things. Like how the skeleton army was once a threat. Like...the skeletons. We battled a giant snake, smaller snakes, robot armies, sentient video games, Garmadon a billion different times, the Overlord, Oni...and the skeletons used to be a worthy adversary. The skeletons.
Did you all remember that Cole’s earth dragon used to...breathe earth? I’ve been forced to remember. Rocky used to breathe earth as a form of attack. It was shown through brown swirly wisps in that beautiful, incredibly shitty 2011 effect. The Underworld used to be implied to be the place where all dead people went, or at least the bad ones. We never heard of a Departed Realm. Do we remember the time Cole had a scene that was a direct parody of Michael Jackson? I sure do. Genuinely the highlight simply because I don’t know how to describe the emotion I felt upon seeing it.

I posted about the omegaverse shenanigans in the Pit Babe novel because I thought they weren't going to happen for real.
I didn't joke about the papa and daddy thing just so the series would one-up me and go full mama and papa on me.
And what's with the sudden talk about wanting to have children??

a crack in the wall
The thing that struck me immediately, like the first time I saw the scene, was the Director saying “...and now, we have a monster in our kingdom.”
framed like that, holding the sword she stole so she could frame Ballister.
My literal first thought was “yeah, I’m looking at one right fucking now”. Two seconds later she’s using that sword to get rid of a threat to her order, so like yeah.
It’s not subtle cinema language at all, it’s basically shouting it at me, but I liked it anyway. She’s a threat and the movie is no longer remotely hiding it.

What really gets me is (q)Bad last night being "I call dibs on Forever being on my team :D" regarding the possibility of Green being split into the other teams, but like. Buddy. Would (q)Forever wanna be on a team with you after what you and Pierre did to his team? Even if Green doesn't end up dead, Blue ended up 'killing' them fully knowing that death was the most likely outcome. From Green's pov, that's like. Super fucked up.
So, Bad, you want to team with your Not Crush, but would he want to team with you?

I want Hermie to do a stupid edgy Batman thing now that he’s betrayed the Teens so bad.
(+version with a background so it’s a bit less indistinguishable on dark mode. oops)

Alright Tumblr, I have a Question and You have the Answer.
Which Pokevillain would beat the other in hand to hand combat?
This will be a series of polls and voting, y'know, the normal stuff. I even properly seeded the competition based on my own bias and what I think would be funny.
Here is the bracket:
[Description of the image for ease of reading:
A tournament bracket of all the main villains from Pokemon.
Round 1 consists of Cyrus VS Maxie, Colress VS Rose, Guzma VS Sada, and Archie VS Turo.
Round 2 consists of the winners of round 1 against Ghetsis, Giovanni, Lysandre, and Lusamine.
Description end.]
Each round will last 1 day, as is common on Tumblr.
The first rounds will begin eventually and will be in a reblog to this post as the place to find them for convenience. I will also be tagging the matches with the tag #pokevillainviolence for easy organization. (This tag will also work for like. art that gets made if that's what happens lmao)
Now, have fun and let's see which villain can kick the other's ass!
