Yes I am in love with this thought process guys

For the longest time I've been like "huh, it's kinda weird how Zane has these visions and it's never elaborated on, it's just a cute little quirk." I just feel like that's something that would've been explained by now??? But then I realized, maybe that's just part of him being the master of ice? Like, Cole has super strength, Jay had super speed in the pilots. Also there were the future reflections in the Ice Labyrinth? The place full of ice that's also connected to the FSM showed people their futures??? So maybe that's just what the element of ice does. (Now why ice and the future...idk? Like I see the connection that rocks are strong/you need strength to move rocks, and lightning is fast, but ice and the future??? Because ice can be reflective and it can save things for the future? Maybe???)

But then this raises the question: what's Kai's extra little power? If Cole has super strength, and Jay has (forgotten) super speed, and Zane has prophetic visions, what does Kai get?

So in Season 4 when Chen uses the staff, it doesn’t seem to effect him. No glowing eyes, no change in behavior or personality, nothing. He remains exactly the the same no matter how many more elements he hordes in it.

Yet almost as soon as Kai touched it, he falls under some type of corruption — red eyes and all — and the hidden envy he’s been harboring is brought to the surface, causing an inner fight control to ensue, which Kai loses. His flaws are then amplified to such an extreme that Kai is no longer even the same person, and may as well just be another Chen.

My point is, the Staff had no effect on Chen because he was already that vile and power hungry. It literally couldn’t make him more twisted than he already was.

So I think it speaks huge volume on how good of a person Kai actually is by this point for the Staff’s power to warp his personality and flaws so far into such an unrecognizable state.
