The new Ninjago (which I consider to be Secrets of Forbidden Spinjitzu and onwards) does feel different from the previous arcs, from a writing perspective, the first part isnt too interesting but the second part has to be a personal favorite with the Zane reveal, I'm still going through these episodes on Netflix so I can't say much about the next seasons yet.
The animation studio switch to Wildbrain was a good choice, I get so excited whenever there is a fight in the show, they animate them so beautifully and smoothly and I love the effort given to them so much!
I have faith that the new series will do just as good as the previous seasons, although I'd love to see more serious character arcs but I'm guessing they have to keep it toned down for younger audiences 😅
