I Like How It Is Actually Canon That Chase Enjoys Chocolate Milk

So I finally got around to watching the new Ninjago spinoff trailer and I gotta admit it looks pretty cool, gives off major Samurai Jack vibes, the monsters look straight from an anime and the animation is very fluid. The problem is that after getting used to Kai being pretty much a comic relief character for the past 6 years or so, it's kinda hard for me to take him seriously in this kind of role, especially since Dragons Rising is supposed to follow after.

I mean, Dragons Rising Kai certainly doesn't act like someone who's faced unspeakable horrors and had to mature as a person and go against their own principles in order to survive. Dragons Rising Kai could barely handle these guys:

I don't know. The tone shift is just too big for me.

Samurai Jack had its funny moments too, but they were there to help the viewer breathe between the more serious episodes. This feels like a complete 180. I think it will work best if we think about them as completely different shows, like a dystopian Kai AU or something like that

Mei: Hey guys, I found a spider. Cool little guy. Thanks for eating the mosquitoes.

Dashi: What are your goals?

Chase: To pet all the cats.

Chase: To be strong enough to climb every tree.

Dashi: That's good.

Chase: So I can pet all the cats.

Dashi: Chase, no.

Zane: What’s your favorite color?

Cole: Stop asking stupid questions. Ask me something logical and mature.

Zane: How many moles of sodium bicarbonate are needed to neutralize 0.8ml of sulfuric acid at STP?

Cole: Orange, my favorite color is orange.

Good!Chase Young at the Xiaolin temple be like

Movie Nya: I'm going to fight the next person who insults Lloyd. Movie Lloyd: I hate myself. Movie Nya: Alright, square up.

Wait, what if we were all wrong about it?

I just remembered these have been a trend for quite some time now

What if the Ninjago Live Action movie is gonna be just some random guy adopting the ninja in CGI lego minifig form and going on a road trip together or something?

Almost forgot it's today
