Awesome Guy

The way that people watch TV has changed a lot in the past ten years because of the rise of streaming services, especially for children. No cartoon is getting over a million views regularly anymore. And Ninjago in particular gets very little advertisement on Cartoon Network when it airs new episodes, which is the only time it airs.

I can tell you for sure it doesn't happen in Hands of Time. My predictions are: 1. It's never mentioned, like Garmadon getting a new face. 2. It's mentioned as a joke once. 3. Time-skip between seasons, ninja are finally in their twenties, and Lloyd's vocal cords finally decides to catch up to his body.

Ayy been a while since I've last posted here. Recently, Jillian Michaels, whom has voiced Lloyd for the past five years, announced on her Instagram account that she is being replaced as Lloyd for a male voice actor, because the script is going in a "different direction". Curious what this "different direction" will be.. puberty?

Actually we don't know how old they are but the writers have that they're teenagers, and Kirby Morrow (Cole's voice actor) said Cole was 14 in an interview in 2012 (he's probably older now because of the time skip between Season 2 and Rebooted).

No problem, but I think a topic to discuss the new movie is necessary compared to making multiple threads about it or none at all. I think the site's pretty accurate since it says that added by Warner Bros. and that looks like an official poster. The first synopsis (the bottom one) might just an early description.

It was pushed to 2017.

http://www.movieinsider.com/m12086/ninjago/production#plot Looks like it's gonna be in an alternate continuity. I... really don't like the idea of them being in high school..

Since it looks like this summer we're getting some past enemies, I think it looks like they're closing the story. But on the other hand, since there's that movie (and apparently a sequel?) coming out, we won't be saying bye to the characters just yet. Since the movie's not connected to the show, I guess they're starting from scratch. Do you guys think they're rebooting, or if the show'll still continue alongside the movies?

I half want one so the timeline could finally be fixed, but my less optimistic half doesn't because I'm not sure that there is any fixing it at this point. although I would enjoy it for the story, even if it does give even more headaches..

I think that it looks like it'll be pretty good. A connection between a genie and pirates seems pretty original. I also like the way their suits look and Jay apparently losing his eye is pretty cool.

For a while, I was confused about Lloyd's element(s) worked, because I assumed Green Power was supposed to be his form of Creation, or a less powerful form of Golden Power, his true Creation. But now I think Energy/Power is just a separate, but related, extremely powerful element. Like, the missing fifth element of Creation. Garmadon and Wu have the four elements: Fire, Ice, Lightning, and Earth, and when together in balance, they create Creation. But Lloyd, in addition to the four, also inherited Power, and combined with the other elements, and his True Potential, he unlocked Golden Power, the First Spinjitzu Master's stonger form of Creation. So, basically: Fire+Ice+Lightning+Earth=Creation Fire+Ice+Lightning+Earth+Green Power/Energy=Golden Power

Compared to the other ninja, he doesn't really stick out much. Like, all of their schtics are pretty easy to narrow down. Kai is hot headed and cocky, Jay is funny and inventive, Zane is stoic and intelligent, and Cole is tough and likes food (okay, I had trouble figuring out his thing tbh). Of course, that's not all there is to them though. But Lloyd is... the destined Green Ninja? I can't really describe his personality. The most I could say is he's a nice guy. Most of the focus is on his cool powers and not Lloyd himself. I like him, and I feel like he has some potential to him (a true potential you could say, heh), but I can't help but feel he's a bit of a Gary Stu. What do you guys think about Lloyd?

Jaya forever, yo. Cole and Nya came out of nowhere, and was kind of dumb. The whole thing was dumb. Nya is probably the dumbest part of the whole thing for letting a machine tell her who she should be with .

Distantly, yes.

Part 3 Before the end of Lloyd’s first year, Garmadon finally snaps, and attempts to take the weapons. A battle between brothers ends with Garmadon being struck by divine lightning summoned by the protection spell on Wu's gi. Garmadon's true corrupted form is revealed, and he then falls down to the Underworld. Misako stays at the monastery for about a year, and one night while carrying Lloyd she walks past the Golden Weapons, and they glow green. She saw this, and then realized that her son is the destined Green Ninja. Days later, she decides to leave to find a way to stop the final battle, and leaves the monastery with Lloyd. All that she told Wu was that she was going to find a way to "fix things". She kept in contact with Wu briefly, and visited him a few times with Lloyd. When Lloyd is 4, after debating it with Wu, she makes a very difficult decision: to enroll him at Darkley's Boarding School. After this, she pretty much disappears, dedicating herself to preventing a battle between father and son. There Lloyd stayed, until he was kicked out at 10 years old. [Lloyd is an immortal like his father and uncle, but aged at normal pace at first because of Misako being mortal. From 4, he would’ve started aging slower, but because of being in school, around normal kids, he aged like them, and never really knew any other way. This is why Misako isn't too surprised when she meets him in teen form. She figured he just matured quick. This is the same assumption that Garmadon made when he first saw his older form in "Wrong Time, Wrong Place".] Meanwhile, Wu, now having lost his family, falls into a depression, and his self-blame and emotional scars all come together and he ages into a middle aged man in only 4 years. After having his time to grieve, he resolves to hide the Golden Weapons. He leaves the map with an old friend, the Master of Fire, whom was now a blacksmith. He trained himself alone for some time to regain his inner harmony. A decade after Garmadon’s turn, Wu, now a wizened elder, decides it is time to gather together the four destined ninja, and train them to fight his brother, the dark lord. And to end this, a quick timeline of how I think the history goes: So, here's a timeline (BSW=years Before Serpentine War) (ASW=years After Serpentine War): 10,000 BSW- The First Spinjitzu Master creates Ninjago. The Overlord forms and fights with the FSM, and Ninjago is split. 6000 BSW- Garmadon and Wu are created/born. *between*- FSM finds worthy people to hold the elemental powers. 4000 BSW- Garmadon is bitten by the Great Devourer, a snake that goes on to be worshipped by the Serpentine. *between*- The grown Great Devourer is defeated by the humans of Ninjago. It is then sealed underneath the Ourobouros. Tensions between man and snake rise. More than 200 BSW- Masters of Lightning and Wind leave the Alliance, and have a family. Less than 200 BSW- Captain Soto and his crew perish at sea when the Destiny's Bounty crashes. *between*- A sea on Ninjago dries up and becomes known as the Sea of Sand. 33 BSW- The FSM, sensing his time must come to end soon, gives up his immortality. 18 BSW- Misako is born. *between*- Zane is built. 12 BSW: Morro is born. 3 BSW- The FSM declares his sons Sensei and leaves to his final resting place. He passes in peace. *between*- The bros meet Misako and fall in love with her. Garmadon decides to train with Chen. Wu meets Morro. 1 BSW: Morro leaves Wu to find the FSM's tomb. 0 BSW: The Serpentine War happens. Chen and Clouse are banished to an island, and Anacondrai Generals are cast into the Cursed Realm. 4 ASW: Garmadon and Misako marry. *between*- Chen founds Master Chen's Noodles. 8 ASW: Morro dies in the Caves of Despair. 22 ASW: Cole is born. Dr. Julien dies, and Zane's memory is erased. 23 ASW: Kai and Jay are born. 24 ASW: Nya is born. Master of Water dies.. somehow. 28 ASW: Lloyd is born. Garmadon turns and is banished. 29 ASW: Misako finds out Lloyd is the Green Ninja. She and Lloyd leave the monastery. 32 ASW: Misako leaves Lloyd at Darkley's. *between*- Wu hides the Golden Weapons. 34 ASW- The Master of Fire dies..somehow. 38 ASW- The series begins. Season 1-2. 40 ASW- Season 3-4. 41 ASW- Season 5. And.. done. What do you guys think? Thanks!
