SAY IT LOUDERRRRRR JAY HAD SO MUCH SCREENTIME NOT EVEN JUST IN SEABOUND BUT EVEN BEFOREEEE OMGG I JUST WANT RGB SIBLINGS GRIEF IM SO SICK OF THIS
after crystalized first aired there were so many people who were like “jay should’ve had more grieving screentime” like shut UPPPPP kai and lloyd should’ve had more then 1.5 minutes each and kai should’ve ripped the shit out of jay. kai deserves to kick his ass
SO FUCKING TRUE ANON YOU GET ME!!! Jay needs LESS screen time good god I don’t care anymore he got TWO seasons to himself LET KAI AND LLOYD GREIVE THEIR SISTER!!!!!
the annoying kid and his cool siblings
I think that probably the most realistic scene in Crystalized is the fight between Jay and Kai.
They're both stressed out. They're both grieving. They're both trying to cope, just in a different way, and sometimes, grief can get the best of us.
But I'm actually surprised that Kai hadn't snapped sooner. Because Nya, the reason he joined the ninja in the first place, Nya, his sister who he basically raised, his family – is dead.
And Jay has the audacity to act as if no one else cared that she was gone. As if he was the only one affected.
Kai is trying to hold it together. He's trying to move on, because he knows he can't change what Nya has done. And he knows that Jay is grieving too and he does his best to not blame him.
Yes, he accidentally knocked the glass of water, but he instantly apologized for that, knowing what it means to Jay.
In other words, I'm on Kai's side on this one. I think that he had every right to point out Jay's bullshit. He should have done it sooner.
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
ive said this so many times but one of my favorite parts about kai is despite his trauma, when he gives, it doesnt come with strings. hes not expecting anything from anyone- when he gives, he does so without ulterior motives. i think its so important to realize that kai understands the value of love and decides to share his love, share what he holds in his heart (that fact that he chooses to hold love in his heart despite everything is beautiful itself), with the world, despite the world not returning it to him.
he loved his parents yet again so effortlessly, and he has always loved his family, nya, lloyd, jay, cole, zane, pixal, wu profusely.
Lloyd: I wrote down all the plans we shouldn’t try again
Wu: “Jay improvises breakdancing”
Wu: “Nya pretends to be a guidance counsellor”
Wu: “Zane jumps off a cliff, again” underlined
Wu: This one says “throw Kai at enemies like a cat”?
Lloyd: Oh, that one works every time. Put it in the to-do pile
Yes I am in love with this thought process guys
For the longest time I've been like "huh, it's kinda weird how Zane has these visions and it's never elaborated on, it's just a cute little quirk." I just feel like that's something that would've been explained by now??? But then I realized, maybe that's just part of him being the master of ice? Like, Cole has super strength, Jay had super speed in the pilots. Also there were the future reflections in the Ice Labyrinth? The place full of ice that's also connected to the FSM showed people their futures??? So maybe that's just what the element of ice does. (Now why ice and the future...idk? Like I see the connection that rocks are strong/you need strength to move rocks, and lightning is fast, but ice and the future??? Because ice can be reflective and it can save things for the future? Maybe???)
But then this raises the question: what's Kai's extra little power? If Cole has super strength, and Jay has (forgotten) super speed, and Zane has prophetic visions, what does Kai get?
I JUST WANNA SAY I LOVE UR POSTS SM ESPECIALLY THE KAI ONES BC HE'S MY FAVE UR A GODSEND AND UR EVERYTHING I ASKED FOR IN THIS FANDOM *gushes about Kai*
THANK YOU LOVE!! THIS MEANS ALOT TO ME!! *gushes about kai alongside you*
HI IM HERE TO REMIND YOU OF THIS SCENE:
Kai and cole look at each other with determined as hell looks , and come to a conclusion.
now, let me remind you this isn’t just any simple conclusion. it’s a conclusion to sacrifice themselves for a mission on a crazy video game land they don’t even know will work
there are two ways trust is working here behind the scenes:
1: the trust between kai and cole
2: and the trust they have in the team
now the first one is so much more significant because
1)all the ninja had sacrificed themselves and trusted the team so the second way isn’t unique. every ninja has immense trust in their team and it’s shown throughout each of their important sacrifices
2) the first one reason, that’s what made this scene more unique then some other scenes (i am NOT saying more important, just more UNIQUE. unique does not mean something is better than the other. It just means there were different circumstances. don’t attack me) since it shows two characters simply nodding and having the same goal, the exact same strategy/idea in mind because remember kai and cole proceeded with their actions and it was like the other knew exactly what the other was going to do from which car the other would bring down to where they planned to explode/crash.
it also shows the amount, the IMMENSE AMOUNT of belief/trust kai and cole have in EACHOTHER. I mean, they didn’t even need to say anything. they just know. this is the main reason why I loved this scene SO much: it was a non-communicated-just-one- look sacrifice that was executed perfectly.
