You aren’t wrong tho.

I am trying to write a fic and I’ve typed “Kai is good” more than 10 times, WHY DO MY FINGERS DO THIS

THANK YOU.

I think I found my soulmate though.

Why I Think Kai was Somewhat Justified In Not Wanting To Lose His Powers

So by now, most of us know about the scene where in order to save Lloyd, the ninja run the risk of draining or losing all of their powers. I’ve seen a lot of people hating on Kai for his opinion during the scene, but I do think he was somewhat- not entirely, however- justified.

First off, Kai is scared of not being enough. We saw that a lot in S1, when he was trying so hard to become the Green Ninja, even to the point of choosing between saving Lloyd or the Fangblade in E10. I think this comes from his background. Kai comes from a small town out in the middle of nowhere, and from very simple beginnings.

Since his parents were never there, he had to step up and take control over his life. He probably was under a lot of pressure, since he had to be there for Nya as well as run the blacksmith shop as well as take care of himself, too. We know from season 7 that Ray and Maya disappeared sometime around when Nya was 3 or 4, because that was when the painting was made and Kai said they disappeared around that time.

So that left a 5-6 year old Kai taking care of a 3-4 year old Nya, assuming one of the villagers took care of them until their teens.

Then Kai met Wu, and became the Master of Fire. He was important, he had a set role, he found his place. His power gave him all that. So I can understand that he wouldn’t want to lose it, because it made him into what he is now and gave him something more than blacksmithing for the rest of his life.

Secondly, Kai knows someone has to be the voice of reason here. They’re facing a seemingly unbeatable evil, they’re going to need to be at full strength. If they lose their powers, and the tea doesn’t work, then how will they protect Lloyd? After all, that is first and foremost their main job. The ninja are the protecters and teachers of the Green Ninja. Kai knows this, he unlocked his True Potential by realizing it. He’s saying this out of concern for Lloyd, because he knows that without their powers they won’t be able to protect their friend.

Lastly, I know a lot of people see Kai’s thought process here as selfish and unlike his character, but I think it’s the opposite. Kai cares so much about Lloyd, the show has made that perfectly clear that he sees the Green Ninja as a little brother. He would never have said what he did if he hadn’t been thinking of Lloyd and everyone else’s safety. Yes, Kai is scared of losing his powers. But not in a selfish way. He’s scared he won’t be able to protect his brother when the time comes.

However, Kai is not entirely in the right for hesitating on his decision, I understand that. But I think he had his reasons for his thoughts.

And that’s my analysis of Kai’s thought process during the “Save Lloyd” scene in ep 84. Let me know what you guys think!

“Ninja don’t last forever.”

Incoming salt because I’m pissed off

Season 8 was just as bad as I expected it to be.

The fact that the backstory itself had to be retconned just to fit this season was fucking stupid. Whatever happened to the Overlord? What happened to Garmadon genuinely being a good person before being forced into being evil? Now we have this shitty plot with the Dragon and the Oni and Garmadon was LITERALLY BORN EVIL NOW. SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE FUCK

What was the point of having a monarchy in place if it was destroyed in the second episode, and the princess winds up being evil? It’s a pointless addition to the world as a whole and having it passed off as “they have no real power anyway” is lazy as hell.

For that matter, Harumi is a shitty villain. Her backstory is supposed to make us feel sorry for her because her parents are dead, except for one little detail: SHE ALLOWED HER ADOPTIVE PARENTS TO DIE. She’s not sympathetic, she’s a whiny little brat who doesn’t realize how good she had it. Also, her design looks fucking hideous, as if she’s trying to be a gothic Lady Gaga. There are SO MANY WAYS for her to have been written better, and THIS IS WHAT THEY WENT WITH?

EVERYTHING ABOUT GARMADON’S RESURRECTION PISSES ME OFF. I don’t care that it got hand-waved as “Well he was specifically brought back to be full of hate”, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WOULD HE TELL HIS SON HOW LITTLE HE CARES ABOUT HIM. EVER.

I know that this point is controversial, but I’m going to say it anyway: Why the fuck is everyone ignoring that this season is written worse than they think. WHY THE HELL ARE PEOPLE LOOKING PAST THIS.

The animation is still garbage, I can’t see anyone’s face when the scene is dark. It’s like they took the worse parts of the animation before, and made it so it was all you could notice.

The writers are disrespectful as fuck, as well as inconsistent with what they want. One minute it’s “we’re making the show darker to appeal to the older audience”, the next it’s “ummm we write for kids, so it’s okay to have this many plot holes”. Not to mention telling people who don’t like the new designs to just “get over it, they’re not going to change back” really just shows how little you care about your audience’s opinions.

For that matter, I’m still not over how blatantly copy-pasted the designs are from the movie. I liked the movie designs because that’s what I thought they were just going to be: JUST THE MOVIE DESIGNS. The Hagemans said the show designs wouldn’t change. They lied. They said the face designs wouldn’t change. THEY LIED. WHAT WAS THE POINT OF HAVING MOVIE DESIGNS IF YOU WERE GOING TO CHANGE THE SHOW DESIGNS IN THE END??????

In conclusion, fuck this season, fuck the rest of this show, I’M DONE.

Why are my making me cry

Oh mercy

What was one of the last things Kai said to Nya before he was supposedly crushed in the bounty?

“Ninja don’t last forever”

Couldn’t help it.

My will to live ;

I mean look at this

Look

THIS.

SUCH A HANDSOME BOII

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Kai Smith🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Welcome by my Kai appreciation post heheh 🔥

Looking for a good series to pick up?

Hey, you! Yeah, you! Are you looking for a good series to pick up? A series that contains:

Good and intersting plot?

Loveable characters that have character development?

Smart (and actually good) humor and script?

Will actually have a perfect execution of the above?

Well let me introduce you to…

Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu

Yep, you heard me. Ninjago. A show about a group of ninjas trying to keep everything in peace in which they can go from fighting talking snakes to flying on the air with a ship without making it “too complex” or “too rushed”. Everything runs smoothly as heckity heck and the show always makes sure to explain all the questions you might have.

But what will Ninjago teach you or offer to you, you might be wondering.

WELL, GOOD THING I’VE SUMMED UP SOME OF THE THINGS YOU’LL FIND. Obviously, this isn’t everything but I figured I should note some of the unique things the show offers.

Life lessons. As stupid as it may sound, Ninjago’s messages are one of the most powerful ones ever seen in (kids’) shows. While Ninjago is labeled as a kids’ show, its message are far from just that. Ninjago really shows a side of life that is forgotten nowadays. One of the most important ones in my opinion is that life won’t always go your way but as long as you don’t give up, you will make it through. If you can’t shape your environment, shape yourself.

The plot. No matter what happens, Ninjago’s plot always stays true to its universe. As I mentioned before, there can be a trillion things on screen but they blend in so nicely with each other that it never feels chaotic or too much. The way the story develops just feels natural. I could not ask for a better plot execution.

The characters. Just like the plot, the characters always stay true to their universe. And the best part about them? They have character development. Instead of your everyday cartoon where each character stays the same at each episode (mainly because the episodes do not follow a storyline), Ninjago’s characters develop with the plot. The characters feel alive, they really do. They are lovable, enjoyable, funny and interesting and always have something new to offer.

The voice acting. Since we are talking about how characters come to life, let’s talk voice acting! I can only speak for the English version of the series but the voice acting in Ninjago is TOP. Every character has their own unique suiting voice. The voice actors are so talented and they give their all with each performance. They certainly get into their characters’ personalities, always giving an outstanding performance. I could just have a Ninjago episode playing at another tab just to hear the voices. They are that good.

It actually shows that girl power is a thing? Not even in an “implied” way. On one of the seasons, one of the ninja’s sister (who is also a main protagonist), Nya, has to escape society’s labels about her (being sterotyped because she is the ‘only girl of the team’, being ‘forced’, in a way, to choose between two of her teamates to date because she is a girl) And Nya really fights that. She learns how to shape her own reality and how to be herself, without letting anyone force her into choosing something. Nya is a true example of a strong and independed personality.

The romance. I was hesitant about making this a reason to watch Ninjago. Honestly, whether you are in for ships or not, you should definetely watch it anyway but let me tell you… The ships in the series. They just feel real. They are not rushed, they have development, they show many different sides of romantic love (and the subject is not even the main focus of the series), how a healthy relationship is built and sometimes when it is time to stop one. Andyouknowalsothefluffbetweentwocertaincharactersisjustthepurestthingeverandhonestlyifyouwanttomissoutonthatidonotknowiamsorry

The soundtrack. Ninjago has one of the most brilliant OST I have ever seen in a series. The main guys of the OST are Jay Vincent and Micheal Kramer and the ‘songs’ songs are made by The Fold. Never have I seen a soundtrack so fitting to a series. Each scene is really brought to life with all those magnificent tunes. In fact, they are so good, that I listen to them when I write my fanfics! They help me focus a lot.

The animation. Ninjago is a LEGO series, which means the characters are, well, LEGOs. However, don’t let that discourage you from watching the series. The animation is so smooth, beautiful, detailed and just stunning to look at. I’ve been a fan of Ninjago ever since I was 6 and the fact that the characters on screen are LEGOs has never bothered me. There is only so much I can show without spoiling anything so have a scene from the first season’s intro!

Conclusion? Ninjago is on point and your soul needs it.

Okay but, in all seriousness, please consider getting into Ninjago. The creators work so hard on it (not to mention they interact with the fanbase, taking into consideration their views and opinion on the plot) that are not to disappoint. As of now, Ninjago currently has 7 seasons out, two origin episodes that take place before the first season (I recommend watching those two first), and a movie special that takes place after the 6th season. There is an upcoming 8th season and as far as we are concerned at the moment, season 9th is possibly the last one.

I’d like to finish off by saying that Ninjago is a series that really shaped the way I looked at the world. Ever since I was little, I was exposed to the show and it made me appreciate things that I would not have appreciated otherwise. I recommend it more than anything. Watch it for yourself, watch it with your kid, family friends… It’s just a very important show that deserves far more love than what it currently has. I really hope you enjoy Ninjago just as much as we, the fanbase, do!

And hey, Ninjago fans, reblog this so we can widen our fanbase! Let’s get more people into this amazing show! And feel free to add your own highlights down below if you’d like!

LET US SHOW KAI’S FACE. HE’S ALWAYS THE LAST ONE.

I agreed. KAI IS SO UNDERRATED

Remember when Kai put a child’s life above his own ambition and unlocked his true potential aka who he really was and it was the most beautiful and meaningful moment in tv history

This..is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.. 😭😍

Love it when Kai’s Spanish

fu-fu-fuego!!!

This.is.beautiful

You guys know what Kai is?! A sweet man who lost his parents with no explanation, causing him to have to raise his little sister by himself. And you know what? He did a damn good job! Of course Nya has her flaws but let’s not forget that she was raised by her older brother, older brother who may only be one or two years apart!

Kai is a sweet man who in the first episode- Was concerned about training in a monastery because it was a place of peace.

Kai is a lovely man who simply uses his ego as a coping mechanism of some sort, it’s not healthy, yes, but he has been trained that if he doesn’t act that way, no one will give him the time of day!

Kai has layers, he’s not a 2d angry character:tm:

Kai isn’t stupid, he was the one to figure out that Lloyd was the green ninja, even though he was dead set on taking up the role. He pushed aside his pride and became a guardian.

Kai is wise beyond his years, which has been shown multiple times.

 I know Kai isn’t a fan favorite, and that’s probably because most people don’t look so deep into characters like I do rip, but Kai is honestly an amazing character and if I didn’t have self control I could type about him for much longer.

I mean LOOK AT HIM! #LEGO #LEGOninjago #NinjagoKai #SmallKai #Past #Future
