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

Don't know about you, but I'll be totally devastated when Candace's iconic pink flip phone inevitably gets turned into a generic smartphone for the remake. I know it was already happening in the newer seasons in the mid 2010s, but it used to be Candace's signature accessory and part of so many cozy memories. I think it will hurt seeing it happen all over again, just a little reminder that things will never be quite the same

Chase: If I accidentally sat on a voodoo doll of myself, would I be trapped forever in that position, doomed to starve to death?

Wuya: How am I supposed to know?

Dashi: You say, as if we don't use you as a source of knowledge of the occult.

Wuya: *sighs*

Wuya: You wouldn't be trapped.

Lloyd: Remember! Curiosity killed the cat.

Kai: Yes, but you forget that satisfaction brought it back. So yes, Wyldfyre, go find out if that thing can catch fire!

Lloyd: You're a bad influence.

Kai: And you don't know your sayings.

Pigsy: I know you snuck out last night, MK.

Mei: Play dumb!

MK: Who's MK?

Mei: NOT THAT DUMB!

Jordana: Well, well, well, if it isn't my old friend...

Arin: We're friends? That's so nice!

Jordana: Can't you tell I'm being sarcastic?

Arin: Well, I can now :(
