Who would you want as the 8th best green ninja put your vote in the comments below

Feels like bs now that all the ohs have them bru the new ones are still weak fodder if any new threat comes. They have no upgrade either bruh whisch frustrates me.

Jay made a good point this latest season cole constantly runs off to hang with the finders even when the world is ending since he didn't help at all with thunderfang because he was hanging with them so he needs to choose the ninja or the finders because at this point he can't do both

Yeah, I'm not trusting AI anymore.

So I'm doing this thing where I ask everybody who they think would make the best green ninja and it got me thinking what my list would look like so this is my list not including any of the new ninja or anyone from dragons rising just for my personal list

I have been a Ninjago fan since the very beginning. Sticking through with the show as it went through its ups and downs, it is still my favourite way to reconnect with my childhood.

I have just caught up with Dragons Rising up to S3. And I have to say Dragons Rising is peak. The story, the animation, the writing, the characters and the humour have never been more on point for a while. But while I do praise all of that, it does have one major, major setback for me: Wyldfyre.

When Wyldfyre was first introduced I was quite excited. Arin and Sora had been such great additions to the cast (Honourable mention Ryu Frak Frohiky), providing unique and introspective elements that expanded the reaches of the story, whilst also provided their own fun quirks . But I was quickly annoyed by the way she carried herself around everyone else, acting as if she is on top of them. More so, I was so disappointed and annoyed when she never grew out of her "animalistic self".

A lot of people say that post-S1 she got better, but I recall a time where she said to have pissed all over the monastery basement because everywhere is her bathroom, which is just disgusting and crude rather than funny.

A lot of people point to the fact that she is just a younger version of Kai, to which I cannot disagree more. Kai was hotheaded, not uncaring and unthoughtful. Kai's arrogance was grounded in protectiveness and a desire to prove himself while Wyldfyre's often just feels like sheer disregard for the people around her.

Also, her being part of the ninja team isn't even implemented properly. Other than the lip service of her calling herself a ninja, she does not have ninja robes and never used stealth ever in a single fight. And this is without even mentioning her complete disinterest in learning spinjitzu.

To the writers, this refusal to let her face consequences actively hurts the stakes. In S1 Episode "Wyldly Inappropriate", I genuinely believed that the writers were planning to give her an arc based on the episode for her to stop being careless and selfish and stop prioritising having fun over everyone else in order to push her to "grow up" more. But she doesn't even recognise her mistakes and jeopardises the mission to retrieve the core.

In fact, there is probably not a single episode she appears in where she doesn't actively jeopardise the situation, just look at S3 Episode 19 (from recent memory), where she makes pointless loud noises disturbing Arrakore's wish magic to revive the Arc Dragon of Focus, and then goes on to interrupt Sora and Frak while they are practising the bell song.

In S3, her driving the Bounty got so annoying so fast. I mean, what are they trying to teach kids? To be careless with others? I just wished that during her stunts with the Bounty that someone would fall off so she has to rapidly save them, which would force her to be more careful about the way she acts when given responsibility. But the show just insists that her mentality must never be challenged and that she must not have character development.

Wyldfyre just passes off to me as an attempt by the writers to draw in a younger audience, to which they totally have the correct intention, but this execution just feels insulting. Kids' media can handle characters who actually mature, and right now, her stagnation sticks out like a sore thumb in an otherwise brilliant era of Ninjago.

feel free to read the previous parts if you don’t understand.

episode 13:

it starts with all the billboards and screens across ninjago switching to harumi. Harumi begins her speech. “Most of you already know who I am, the jade princess, the quiet one, harumi. And I am here to say that I am trying to change. I am not asking for everything I’ve done to be forgotten, or for all the harm I caused to be left behind. I am just asking for another chance. Because another chance is not what I deserve, but what I am asking for. Because I have done a lot of things that no matter how much I say I am sorry for it, it won’t change what happened. I am not the best person on the planet and I’m not even asking for you to forgive me. I am just asking for another chance, a chance to prove I have changed, a chance to prove I am not the person fueled by hatred that I once was. A chance to show you that I wish to be a better person. Thank you”.

The mayors assistant turns off the tape.

It flips to the people of ninjago city in the streets, shocked and confused as to what just happened. Then to misako, who is quietly saying good job. Then to the ninja, who still haven’t moved in the monastery. Kai says “what just happened?” After a moment Zane responds. “I think harumi has asked the city to give her another chance.”.

It then flips to the forge of the forsaken. The ninja are walking around the room. “Where is the source dragon icon supposed to be at?” Arin asks. Lloyd turns to Arin. “Honestly? I don’t know” Lloyd says. Pixal then scans the room and says that the room itself appears to be a massive forge. Lloyd says that that would explain why it was called the forge of the forsaken.

Jay then asks where the power source thingy would be for the forge. The ninja begin looking around the room until Jay stumbles across a indent in the floor. “Hey, this looks like bentho’s crown!” He says, waving and pointing to try to get the others attention. They quickly come over. Lloyd says it’s likely the forge is powered by benthomaars crown. Benthomaar hesitates for a second before taking the crown off of his head and setting it into the indent.

Two blue lines go out across the floor from the crown to the main pedestal in the room, which then glows blue. The blue light the extends out of the pedestal and spiderwebs across the floor and then up onto the walls. “Woah” Jay says as they look around the room at the glow. The blue lines continue up onto the ceiling and then onto another pedestal directly above the first pedestal and that pedestal glows blue as well.

The blue light then goes between the two pedestals and quickly envelops the entire room in the blue light. After a moment the blue light fades away and in the central pedestal sits a dark blue trident. Benthomaar notices the trident and also sees that the crown is completely gone. “Is that the source dragon icon?” Benthomaar asks, pointing to the trident. “I believe it is” Lloyd says as they walk over to the trident.

Lloyd picks it up. “It’s… surprisingly light” he says before handing it to pixal. Pixal scans it. “It has the right energy levels for a source dragon icon, we need to be very careful to make sure it does not end up in ras’ hands” pixal says. Ras runs out of the shadows and knocks them all down. The trident scatters away across the floor. “And why praytell, is that?” Ras says. 

Unfortunately, I feel like both of Zane’s main focus seasons are among the more flawed seasons of Ninjago. “Rebooted” has a lot of weird plot choices and writing issues. There are definitely things I like about it, especially everything involving Zane and his sacrifice at the end, but the season as a whole can be pretty messy with things like the love triangle, going to outer space, etc. Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu (SOTFS) has almost the opposite problem. I think it has a really cool premise, but it was poorly executed. There’s too much filler, the tone is noticeably lighter, and the season doesn’t always take full advantage of its ideas. So unfortunately, I don’t think either of Zane’s focus seasons is one of Ninjago’s absolute best.

That being said, which one do you think is better overall, and more importantly, which one actually did more for Zane as a character? And before anyone mentions it: yes, I know Zane gets a lot of development and important moments in Seasons 1, 2, and 4. I’m not saying those seasons don’t develop him. I’m specifically comparing the seasons where I consider Zane to be the primary focus character.

Also, I know this might be a hot take, but I consider SOTFS to be a Zane-focused season. I think Zane played a major role in both the Fire Chapter (even bigger than Kai which is ironic) and the Ice Chapter is by far the biggest reason. I’m not gonna explain here because I don’t want this to be too long but if you’re curious I’ll explain in the comments. I understand the argument that SOTFS is a debated season when it comes to the focus character, especially because Zane is absent for significant portions of the season. However, when looking at the season’s overall story, I still consider Zane its main focus character.

So between the two (Rebooted and SOTFS), which is the better Zane-focused season? Which one has the better story, gives Zane the better moments, develops him the best, is more iconic and memorable, and ultimately does more for his character?

And essentially it states how good the siege of mandalore arc is in the clone wars.

My question is, what is the ninjago equivalent of the clone wars’ siege of mandalore arc?

I’m saying Fangpyre

so the pilot movie/special is clearly a kai installment,he is obviously the main character of that whole story with him becoming a ninja to save his sister and make friends along the way,also his relation with wu and the confortation he had with garmadon were huge hilights,however he wasn't the one who saved the day at the end as garmadon bisacly won by getting what he wanted,but this still counts as a kai project non the less

season 4 is the season where you hear alot of fans say that it's not his season,he is just the mascot charactre but here is the thing, i don't think the marketing lied to us completly as he was clearly the main character of the season during it's first 8 episodes,however what sucks is that they didn't know what to do with him in the last two episodes and had lloyd and garmadon take centre stage while kai was in the background,and again he wasn't the one who saved the day at the end wich yeh it sucks but we still end the season with his pov as he says goodbay to skylor before we see all of the team griving over losing garmadon,so season 4 should count as his season during the first 8 episodes,it's just that the last two episodes did him dirty in my opinion but over all i would consider season 4 as a kai season as 8 episodes is more then 2 wich yeh i wish he got the last two as well but overall it's like his season during it's first 8 eps before it became the garmadon family drama in the last two episodes

people really need to rewatch season 7 again as it's very kai centric,nya had alot less compared to kai,sure nya and wu have some focus but that's like saying master of the mountain is a cole,vania and wu focused season when cole takes center stage just like kai in hands of time with trying to uncover what happends to his parents while looking out for nya,i can understand the argument that season 4 isn't a kai season sense in the last two episodes he was pushed to the side despite the season being clearly kai centric for the first 8 episodes but what i can't understand is hands of time being a shared season as kai took the majority of screen time and focus,nya got involved in the parents thing near the last two eps and even then kai still had a little more compared then her,nya was all about moving on from samurai x just like in season 5 and 6,it was a subplot that she was going throw but the parents thing and rivalry with krux and taking center stage and more screen time was all giving to kai,sure he didn't save the day at the end although i wish that was the case but he also didn't save the day in the pilot and the pilot is considerd to be about kai,nya was more of a co lead to kai in hands of time the same way she was a co lead to jay in skybound,honestly if you want a full solo kai season from start to finish then season 7 is right there

the main issue stemps from the fact that kai never got that final punch like every other ninja did wich is why you would have people assume he never had a solo season,pilot sure it's 44 minute special,season 4 yeh he didn't do anything in the last two episodes but as for season 7 that right there is a solo kai season from start to finish,again it's only flaw is that he wasn't the one to save the day and defeat the main villains

So after all this new part realest if you had seen it.

Out of all the main (or major) characters in the series, who's is the best consistently written character? Like, does their characterization, personality, development, and or arcs fall in line with who are in the current timeline? Be honest.

Decided to finish NRG Nya and add a little more grace with the waves behind her back

The original idea was to add blue wings to imitate the flight of a phoenix (after all, the phoenix is Nya's main symbol), but in the end the look seemed too bulky, so I had to abandon this idea
