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
Macaque to MK: First rule of battle, kid... Don't ever let them know where you are.
Sun Wukong, shooting out of frame: WOO-HOO! I'M RIGHT HERE! I'M RIGHT HERE! YOU WANT SOME O' ME?! YEAH YOU DO! COME ON! COME ON! AAAAAH! WOO-HOO!
Macaque: 'Course, there're other schools of thought.
Wyldfyre: You use emoji’s like a straight person.
Kai: That’s literally the worst thing anyone has ever said about me.
Pigsy: I know you snuck out last night, MK.
Mei: Play dumb!
MK: Who's MK?
Mei: NOT THAT DUMB!
That's a great idea, but I always lived under the impression that Chase was the one cooking all that food. I mean evil princes of darkness do need hobbies, especially when they've been around for 1500 years and they have so much time on their hands.
But then again, the mere idea of Chase Young teaching his jungle cats how to bake cupcakes is both hilarious and something I could actually see him do.
Just putting this out there... if you wrote a crack fic about Chase trying to convince Omi to come to the darkside because the darkside has cookies I would def read it...
There was that one Omi from Ring of the Nine Dragons that really, really liked cookie dough...
And if Dojo’s any indication, the cookies that Chase’s jungle cats makes are really good...
Maybe this was the real way to win Omi over all along... haha, just kidding... unless...?!
Haha, but I really might just have to write that sometime, it sounds like a funny idea! It’ll probably be a short one, but I hope you’ll look forward to it!
Does anyone know how many times Zane actually "died"? I counted 5, but I feel like there's way more
Plus that one season 1 fake out, but I don't think that counts
Poorly done meme, but I wouldn't blame them if this was their first reaction
