No one even asked but. So uh. If you fully saturate the monstrosity trailer it's all red. I'm actually so serious why is lego cooking so hard
I really didn't mean to notice it. Just after rewatching it the hundredth time I kinda. Yknow. Thought you might like it. Since. Over analyzing makes the brain worms dance
Oh my God.
OH MY GOD??
You know my dumbass before this was thinking to myself when i first watched the trailer “hey…the greys look awfully….red tinted…. Nah I’m looking too much into it.” I WASN’T LOOKING TOO MUCH INTO IT??
Okay so the animation in Monstrosity is similar to one of the golden legend episodes, and i messed with the saturation on there and
PURPLE
It’s all PURPLE. Whats important is that this episode is about the lost ninja and hoping they return, all in the perspective of a man no one knows the identity of (at least i think). No one actually knows the story behind this episode other than now the speculations thats its connected to dr and possibly mainly Kai as his mini series has the same animation style.
Purple has a significant role in the show similarly to green or gold. Its used more to represent evil or corruption in characters, as well as destruction. They might be using a more purple tinted grey to represent the destruction ninjago and the realms itself had went through.
But whats also important is that purple is created off of two other colours, red and blue. The second episode of golden legends includes Kai and Nya. Funny enough how the last episode of golden legends also has Jay and Zane, Jay whose outfit is blue and Zane whose outfit and element is often connected to a light blue. That may or may not have been done of purpose though.
I think it’s important we also consider the fact that in season 3 of dr they also put a lot of attention on Kai and Nya’s relationship as siblings, making it a lot more prominent.
This could also be a sign of the oni and their return for all we know.
Like it? Bro i love this i love this SO much your making my brain shake so much im gonna lose it
Just finished dr s3.
IM IM IM IM IM AAAAAAAAAAAAA
KAI. KAIIIII YOU BEAUTIFUL AWESKME PERFECT INTELLIGEN6 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
MONSTROSITY AMIRIGHT????????!!?!?!?!????
One thing I like thinking about is when the running men tried to get the artifacts, they had to face like a version of themselves that vocalized all their insecurities and bad habits, then had to overcome it and stuff.
But it's not THAT that I find funny, it's the duality of each characters own trial.
Popo: had to come to terms that he has to sacrifice important things for the greater good, ex. His height, money, fame.
Miyo: Had to learn how to trust others more and not to let her overthinking get the better of her.
Kuga: Had to overcome his insecurities and feel more proud of his achievements instead of comparing them to others.
Liu: had to accept his responsibility as a leader and know to be able to make sacrifices.
Then there's these 3 💀
Lonky: didn't learn shit lmao just did what he always did, gaslight gatekeep girlboss his way to victory
Gai: What?? just?? happened?? How did that help him?? Instead, it literally made him worse. Not only did his other self basically Rationalise his insecurities and every fear he had he also gave my boy PTSD because of the red eyes. I swear this isn't doing it justice watch the episode.
Pala: he didn't have to go through anything lol. He probably just grabbed the "artifact", slept, heard the door open, left, then done
I love this show
Hey lego what the fuck
Im in some sort of depression slump right now
I dont know what im doing, he probably does tho
Oh.
Oh no.
I just had an epiphany.
Yknow how Lloyd woke up just outside the monastery, then remarked how it looked different? What if, that's not actually the original monastery? Just another realm version like the others? What if the original,
Was where Kai ended up in?
Was in that realm?
And then maybe there's a huge plot thing where they have to activate all the different monasteries, and they're just missing one, so they have to go to the realm of the monsters themselves to activate it.
Oh my god that's the plot of s4 isn't it.
If I'm right I'm never living this down.
Is that…
IS THAT FUCKING BORG TOWER???? DID NINJAGO CITY GET PUT IN THE MONSTER LANDS????
i think they should let kai say fuck in ninjago monstrosity
Kai's vision in the phantasm cave was simple. Very simple. All there was was a mirror, about the same height as him, with a black stand and body. It swayed a little in the wind, the wood creaking, maybe due to age or decay. At first, he was confused. Maybe he looked around and couldn't see anything. Maybe he just shrugged and cracked a joke about missing his reflection. Besides, what's so bad about a mirror?
Then the air changed.
Maybe it grew thicker or carried something more foreboding. Deadly. Maybe the ground felt slightly rougher, jagged rock digging into his soles more evidently, harder to ignore. Maybe his skin felt itchy, like something was crawling under it.
Maybe everything suddenly became familiar.
Then he looked back at the mirror.
And it was him.
No, not him. Him. Not the Kai, who was reliable and strong, the Kai who was everything a ninja and hero should be. It was the ugly, dirty part of him. The one who gave up their morals in order to survive. The one who he'd long thrown away and pretended never existed.
The real him.
Back in his leather robes and monster fur coat, the smell of dirt thick on his form, the katana he forged with his blood sweat and tears attached to his side. Like it always was. His face was covered, his hat planted firmly on him. It was like he never left. Or it never left him. Something wet coated his arms as his reflection stared back at him, unblinking.
And maybe Kai thought, painfully, that it was over.
Then, as suddenly as it started, everything was back again.
The whiplash was strong, but years of resilience made him good at hiding those things. He quietly looked around, maybe pinched his arm, making sure he was back. For real this time.
He could hear Nya behind him, telling Lloyd that she broke out because she knew it wasn't real. And she's right. She knew Jay could never forget her, and because of that she knew her vision wasn't real, just a fake scenario made to test her.
But Kai's vision was.
It was real.
His fear wasn't becoming a monster,
It was returning to being one.
The ninja and the mech and the dragon having to hang out with each other without Kai is so funny in a tragic way.
Lloyd: What’s your name?
Mech and Dragon: …
Lloyd: How do you know Kai?
Mech and Dragon: ….
Lloyd: Great talk. Okay. Yeah. Nice to meet you, guys?
We also know very little about them other than the fact they are probably not the most upright moral people just because of their circumstances. But I feel like the only information they’d give out is that Kai did everything he could to get home to them. Everything.
Ominously said. But they mean it kindly.
(Context here)
YES YES YES YES YES this is exactly what happened. They would be quiet not out of disrespect but out of awkwardness. Maybe because they were the people Kai was blabbering about while on their journey to the city of temples, and his descriptions of them were a little... overdramatic. Then again, you can't really stop Kai "family man" Smith from bragging about his family (and trying hard not to forget them)
Kai: Oh and don't get me started on my sister, Nya. She's strong, confident, the second best looking in our team if I must say, and did I mention she was the original samurai x? She was able to build all those intricate and complex gadgets at such an early age, and managed to keep it a secret too! Her power over water is also great, and even though she could do better in terms of love interests, I guess Jay is good enough. Oh, and don't forget, she even beat the preeminent when she unlocked her full potential! She's amazing, isn't she?
Rusty and Daidan, not knowing half of what the fuck he's saying: Sure, that's great sweetie.
Kai: It is! Then Lloyd is—
Rusty: O-oh, isn't that the city? I think we're getting close. So. We should focus lest we get off course.
Kai: Ah. Right. I'm sure I can multitask. Lloyd is the green—
the minifigure monstrosity suit thsi is so fire 🔥🔥
