hot take: lloyd in crystalized was not out of character. my reasoning for this is... actually there's a lot of reasoning. one of the biggest complaints people have about crystalized lloyd is how he treats his father in comparison to early seasons lloyd and to that i say: early seasons lloyd had not been disowned nor had he been beaten half to death by his father. i don't think i would be as willing to work with my father had that happened to me. his reasoning (garmadon being oni) may have been flawed, but i also think he was putting his own personal reasonings (being disowned and almost killed) behind, and attacking the thing that didn't include how he was treated.
i understand why people would be mad about lloyd attacking the oni side of his father, given the fact that mystake was amazing and also sacrificed herself for him, but when people are trauma responding, they tend to forget the good things and focus on the bad. lloyd didn't want to bring his own feelings into it, because he has invalidated his own feelings. therefore, he attacks the thing that has nothing to do with him.
DISCLAIMER: i am not attacking nor am i intending to invalidate people who think that lloyd suffered "character assassination" in crystalized. i just feel the need to give my own opinion about it. i will most likely talk about this topic again because i am so passionate about it.
Some of these look like menu options from a KFC joint lmao
Ras is still going? That is one tough tiger to kill. Can‘t confirm anything about the veritability of these yet
I do too, since Cyrus owns an entire server. Plus she was able to stall the Overlord's advances in the digiverse by writing a computer script on the fly, so I imagine she's well experienced like her creator.

Even the publishers can't resist emperor-posting

The story broke a year after their return as ninja.
Cole tugged on the sails of Destiny’s Bounty, turning them northwest. The wind was strong; it wouldn’t take long to reach their destination. What awaited them, he wasn’t entirely sure. He only knew that its prospect filled him with dread.
The laws of chronology dictated that Cole was 3129 years-old. In appearance, he looked no older than twenty-one. He had lived through thirty-one lifetimes. Some were happy, some were sad, but most were lonely. Until now, he had long since accepted the latter as a permanent symptom of agelessness. It wasn’t very often that he got to live his days surrounded by friends.
It crushed his heart to know this was the last time it would ever happen.

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.
