I Think A Lot Of The People Who Criticize SU For Not Showing Us Every Character Apologize Out Loud For

Let me introduce you to... a typical Ninjago season :

Lloyd gets kidnapped at least once

Cole adopts some traumatized kids / creatures he found in a forgotten, lonely place

Jay becomes the leader of a cult or something

Zane "dies" for the 182737492th time

Nya kicks something (or someone)

Kai runs straight into the danger powered with raw confidence and survives only by pure luck

New outfits for everyone

The animation had another glow up

Jay and Cole are paired for a mission but they have the worst influence on each other's dumbness and mess up so bad you wonder why they're still allowed to work together

Kai tries to show off but miserably fails

Lloyd thinks he's Steven Universe and tries to redeem a villain

Jay spends 99% of his screentime uncontrollably yelling

Wu reveals crazy family lore he was hiding since forever

Kai gets rejected by Skylor

Cole wants cake. Now.

Lloyd gets more daddy issues than he already had (you didn't know it was even possible)

Star Wars reference

Wth is Garmadon doing this time ?

Nya is constantly on the verge of committing murder

Kai bullies Jay

Pixal somehow manages to stay calm

Lloyd is still in his angsty teenage era except he's now a grown adult

Zane is silly, the worst things possible happen to him, then he's silly again

There's another plot hole but the lore is so crazy already no one is gonna care

Shout out to Ninjago City citizen still living here knowing their lives are in constant danger every single second they stay in this place

Nya and Jay keeps being the only healthy stable romance in the whole show

Dareth unexpectedly ends up being useful

Lloyd do the thing with his eyes when it's getting serious (you instantly start screaming)

Kai says "fiyah"

"Yep so I saw [a main character] falling of a rock so they're definitely dead." "But maybe they..." - "NOPE. THEY'RE DEAD" - "aww ok" (they are, in fact, alive)

The team yells "ninja, go !" at least once

Characters are listening to music. It's The Weekend Whip by The Fold.

Why does someone has to stay behind and why is it Zane.

"You know I'm very old I'm gonna die soon" has said Wu every single day of the past 100 years of his life

Nya builds crazy vehicles again

This is a found family trope and they want you to know it

You spotted a pride flag in the background of a 0.5 seconds action scene and you already know the homophobic fans are going to lose their minds over it again

Snakes. Snakes everywhere.

A villain has the most brutal death on screen and you wonder how th this got approved for a kid show, until the show itself makes a joke about it

"Gasp ! Are we... Gonna lose our powers ???" (no they won't)

Jay's parents are in danger

Crazy plot twist happens and you suddenly realize it's been foreshadowed every single season in the previous 10 seasons but you never paid attention to it until now

Something that happened in a previous season gets referenced and you nostalgia cry about it for a whole episode

"Omg, was that the last and final season of Ninjago ???" (no it wasn't, nothing can end this show, we'll all die way before it does, now get ready for the next arc because it's probably gonna last ten more years)

Based on the music - this reads as a True Potential scene. Yeah the "becoming the Golden Ninja/USM" is probably intended to be Lloyd's True Potential (and then Garmadon in Rebooted says Lloyd has even more to learn) but this exact track plays when Zane/Jay/Cole/Kai reach their True Potential, plus this is the first appearance of the Golden Dragon.

i literally hate this guy so much vex says bull like "my emperor your army grows restless i humbly advise you provide them with something to occupy them..... (evil conquest connotations)" and ice emperor is like "they need..... entertainment??" and then slowly dramatically rises from his throne and because that accursed song is the only thing hardwired into his programming for some reason he just starts jiggin and singing and vex is like "my liege respectfully what the hell is wrong with you" but he just keeps going at it having the time of his life and when hes done the ice samurai all start clapping and cheering because it was the coolest thing theyve ever seen in their lives and ice emperor does a bow to the audience resulting in more uproarous applause and everyone is ignoring vex who is flabbergasted and doesnt get it

I'm never going to be ok about arin's porch swing

the ending of season 1 is absolutely bizarre to me

Translation (*with some liberties to emulate the characters' speaking mannerisms)

Zane: You are right, Cole. Thank you. It just came over me because I miss her so much.

Cole: I know, Zane. We miss them all.

Ninjago characters as things people in my online class say/do:

Lloyd

-trying their goshdarn best to do the work, always having major technical difficulties (theyre using Wu’s computer and it’s older than Wu himself)

-has no idea whats going on, usually doesnt know what class they’re in

-once fell asleep in lesson and didnt realise it ended, they were just there alone in the zoom call for about 20 mins without realising it

-theres like an 80% chance they’re having a mild breakdown over not being able to do the work, and theyre sat on the floor eating cool aid powder like its sherbert and video calling Nya for help.

-profile pic is a cute (but blurry) group photo of all the ninja

Kai

-rarely actually goes to the lessons, especially morning ones

- if he does, he doesnt try to do any of the work

- (its fine, hes the sort of person whos like secretly smart and he understands it well enough to get about average grades without doing much)

-he once kicked everyone out of the zoom call because the teacher accidentally set it up wrong and let everyone do admin things on the call, he also kicked the teacher out of the call before, it was absolute anarchy :)

-profile pic is a really bad picture of Nya doing a weird face, she hates it

Cole

-unmuted his mic to show everyone a remix of making my way downtown and that video thats like ‘just did a bad thing’, ya ko this one

-still thinks he needs permission to go to the bathroom or get a snack even though the teacher cant see or hear anyone usually so nobody can stop him from just going

-shows everyone cute photos of pets, we dont know if theyre his or not but they are very cute.

-profile pic is a selfie with a snapchat filter

Jay

-sucks up to the teacher so that he can trick them

-always joins the lesson with a message like ‘hiii miss/sir :) ☺️ how’s your day so far 💛✨’ then makes everyone pretend they cant find the work. and of course, because Jay was one of those pretending they cant find it, the teacher thinks it must not be there, because he wouldnt lie, of course not

-hes also the only student who ever ever ever turns their camera on, exept maybe Kai, but Kai doesn’t do it on purpose

-profile pic is a stock image of a sunset that he found on google images thats been oversaturated to death and still has a watermark

Nya

-once unmuted her mic in a lesson where Jay and Kai were messing arround, yelled that she didnt want to be in a lesson that was a waste of her time, and that the teacher was a failure who couldn’t control a class, then left

-tries to seem like less of a nerd by adding meme formats to her answers to questions sometimes, nobody’s falling for it

-if the teacher picks on someone who doesn’t know the answer, she sometimes dms them the answer so they dont get in trouble, unless its Kai, she dms him the wrong answer sometimes

-profile pic is a really bad picture of Kai doing a weird face, he hates it

Zane

-absolutely carrying the class work-wise. always the first to answer the questions, unless its Jay, but Jay always just asks google or Nya

-usually never actually talks other than to answer questions, reacts to everything the teacher says in the chat with a 👍

-when Nya unmuted her mic and talked about the teacher not being able to control the class, Zane Jay and Kai spammed the chat with ‘Yess Nya!!! 🤠🎉’. Zane didnt realise that he was the only one doing it unironically

-hasnt changed his profile pic so its just his initials, but secretly, he has changed it, to an identical picture of his initials but in a different colour. Zoom automatically made his profile pic red, and he made it grey-blue.
