This is supposed to be a trailer for Lego Duplo, right? They don't think the average kid is actually this stupid, right?

 

Right?

 

Or maybe they just expect kids ages 7–14 to have a better sense of humor than the typical BZPower member.

 

It's a cartoon, people. Let's not forget how downright goofy the original Ninjago TV special and webisodes in 2011 were ("This rock is shaped like a donut! I wonder if it TASTES like a donut!"). Even this year's Ninjago webisodes with Master Chen and Clouse were pure slapstick. But today, Ninjago is one of the most beloved LEGO storylines out there. A series doesn't have to take itself completely seriously to be entertaining.

Of course it doesn't have to take itself seriously. I love comedy as a genre, but most of the trailer isn't comedy, it's just talking more about the (IMO incredibly cliche) story. There was like one joke in that entire thing, and to their credit, it was legitimately humorous, but you can't just say 'good because goofy'. Ninjago had a sense of lore and mystery to it from the beginning, while this just kinda feels...I dunno, empty. I guess I'll hold further judgement until we get new material, but it just seems like they aren't trying as hard with this one.

"Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."
