What Do You Think About Kailor

I get sad when someone says one ninja sacrificed more than the others for ninjago

like no :( they all hurt so much all their sacrifices are equally painful :((( give them hugs please

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the best green boy!!

Why Kai's not allowed to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters

Kai: These are for you [gives a few mini candy bars to a kid dressed as Cole]

Kai: Here ya go, kiddo [gives a bag of cookies to a kid dressed as Zane]

Kai: For you two [hands two full size candy bars to two little girls dressed as Samurai X]

Kai: Here you go, take these little guy [gives six mini bags of Skittles and a full size candy bar to a kid dressed as Lloyd]

Kai: Here kid. This is from my friend Zane [gives an apple to a kid dressed as Jay]

Kai: And for this awesome little dude... Bam! [Gives a whole unopened bag of candy to a kid dressed in a Fire Ninja costume]

Nya: KAI! STOP DOING THAT!

Yeah this makes me feel existential dread, drop it

Listen… Yes, Kai is irritable, snarky, and altruistic to the point of being reckless. But he’s… Not really a hothead. 

Like yeah, Kai get’s angry, understandable, he’s the embodiment of his element, but for the most part, Kai is a mild-mannered, soft spoken kid who at least tries to talk his way out of things.

I can’t speak for later seasons, since I haven’t seen past s10, (but that doesn’t really matter since he’s gotten little to no development since then) looking at older ones? Like s4? Kai for the most part is agreeable and does his best to work with the elementals, even being the inciting incident which causes the ninja to even consider teaming up with them.

Generally Kai is more uh… Clever than hotheaded.

I guess some might argue that his recklessness is his hotheadedness, but I don’t think i would agree with that? One of Kai’s biggest character flaws is that he rushes into things, but 90% of the time it’s driven by Kai’s protective instinct, not anger.

I mean. I’ll still label him as a hothead, just because it’s funny and it’s not entirely an insult. Just an observation that it’s… not entirely accurate.

Kai and Nya VS Kai and Lloyd VS Lloyd and Nya

i’ve lately been seeing a lot of people comparing the rgb siblings relationships from one another... so I’m here to give my thoughts. before we begin I just want to clarify that I do NOT believe one relationship is more significant than the other. kai loves nya and lloyd EQUALLY, lloyd loves kai and nya EQUALLY, and nya loves kai and lloyd EQUALLY. ok! point made! jolly! also just a quick read on the image: colors correspond to each ninja (green= lloyd, etc), and the arrows work like this: 

kai-----(kai’s relationship with image the arrow points towards)---> nya

Kai and Nya:

now, in their childhood, I believe kai played the parental role more than the older brother role (this still remains unchanged). nya simply played the roll of a little sister. HOWEVER. as nya got older, i believe her relationship with kai changed. instead of playing the little sister, she ALSO slowly accustomed herself  to a parental role with kai, and before doing so playing the role of an ‘older sister’. Im thinking until around the age of 12 she played little sister, maybe after 12 and until she became samurai x an ‘older sister’ and then after samurai x she accustomed  herself into a parental figure toward kai. Also, I do think as nya got older kai slowly eased himself out of ‘ parental’ and into ‘older brother’, but parental is and will ALWAYS be the default relationship with nya. Naturally, both are ‘parental’ in different ways: kai focuses much more on emotional support for nya, offering approval, comfort, nurturance, and love. nya focuses on self-affection, meaning supporting kai in terms of accepting himself, showing that she loves him (not directly, but through gifts/actions), etc. both ‘parent’ eachother in ways the other needs it

Kai and Lloyd;

this one is easy. kai was an obvious father figure/older brother figure to lloyd since day one, and we’ve seen him rotate between them both frequently. kai’s ‘parental’ style remains the same as it was with nya, he offers lloyd approval, comfort, nurturance, and love. and as an older brother, protects him and teases him (just like he does with nya). lloyd played the role of a younger brother, even considerably a son throughout the show. he looks up to kai as a role model, etc

Nya and Lloyd:

both are younger siblings. thats it. THATS ALL. because nya protects lloyd and loves him, lloyd loves nya and they spent lots of time (DEF DOING MISCHIEF.) when the others were out on missions (when lloyd was a kid and nya was not a ninja). they have a rlly mischievous bond, and definitely a lot of chaos when together

-----------------------------

first off, the BIGGEST similarity when it comes to how  kai treats nya and lloyd (two slightly different relationship) is: parental LOVE. kai openly loves them both and always SHOWS it.

now, the biggest ‘difference’ is kai. nya and lloyd both have a more ‘respectful’ relationship with kai. yes, if nya got the chance she would soak him in water and if lloyd got the chance he would pour flour on kai. yes, kai and lloyd are double trouble and kai and nya are partners in crime. which is why im not talking about chaos, bc all three relationships have equal heaps of it. im talking maybe that nya and lloyd wouldnt curse in front of kai as often, and maybe listen to kai more than they would listen to the other (for example, if kai said to do ‘x’ then nya and lloyd would probably do it, but if nya/lloyd told lloyd/nya to do ‘x’ then theyd be stupid and ‘fight’ abt it). idk. just thoughts.

Of COURSE you have fire powers, some kind of tear-jerking motivation, and a fan favorite

hes jumping up kicking back flipping around AND spinning

Kai <3

lloyd <3

Idk about you guys but in my opinion, as much as i love lloyd, we should give Kai and Nya an entire season so we can see how they really grew up without ray and maya and see them confront their childhood trauma and insecurities

And in the process come out bigger and better and with much more of a bigger bond than before and we can finally see more found family with them and in the upcoming seasons they always have eachothers back whether the other know it or not

Idk just my opinion
