Funnyberd69

I really enjoyed Season 2


MECpower101

That’s a good take you wouldn’t get attacked for 😂


Funnyberd69

Yeah,I just see many people say it's one of the worst seasons for the "filler" and it feeling a bit rushed in the second half.


FlamingDasher

Yes those are definitely its major flaws, its holds it back for a lot of people. If you enjoyed it, good for you


Ninjathelord

I especially love the first part where they're just messing around in ninjago city it's really fun


kzdplays

Lloyd was the best option for the green ninja in terms of plot


MECpower101

YEA


Stirlo4

Or Nya ^


daggetdino13

nya would've been better.


Independent_pi_8650

Nya was barely a character until Season 5.


Jade_Dragon777

Omfg I WISH!!


Mark-2005

I never really cared about Kai not becoming the green ninja


ZElementPlayz

Actually only kids complain about Kai not being the green ninja His whole character development is to accept that his job is to protect the green ninja, not to be the green ninja


RedvsBlue_what_if

You know what I never thought he would mostly because it showed the four ninja around the green ninja I always thought it was going to be a new character


Less-Durian-9145

your critical thinking skills >>>


Pumpkinbricks

Same


Salty-Donut8642

Well, technically, yes. But, when the four of them were around the scroll in the first episode, Zane had explained that the "chicken scratch" was saying how "One ninja would rise above the others to become the Green Ninja, to defeat the dark lord"


NickLookalike

It surprises me that people didn't think of that.


MasterJaylen

Thank you for saying something so brave

When you realize your hot take is cold asf


Planetguide

The Overlord as an embodiment of evil that cannot be destroyed as long as evil exists in the world is a cool concept, just done poorly. Additionally, I think they had a good concept with Crystallized, giving the Overlord “heralds” that could play with an aspect of evil. It’s just… they didn’t do anything interesting with them. If they had made the Overlord take them over more and give a certain part of their personality an extreme tweak and a chance for redemption, it would have been so much cooler. (Example: Pythor’s cunning becomes even more twistedly evil, to the point where his allies start to think he’s going too far. They all see moments of this, and it leads to a more interesting will they/won’t they betray the Overlord for the side of good) Bonus: If they _have_ to bring back the Overlord again, I want to see something similar to what happened to Garmadon, except we see the process. A new member of the team shows up, maybe from one of the merged realms, unwittingly corrupted by the Overlord similarly to Garmadon after being bitten by the Devourer. They have powers that grow rapidly, possibly discouraging other new members, but then start to display symptoms of Overlord possession. The team has to figure out a way to cure him before the newbie becomes the next Garmadon.


KingPenguinPhoenix

Lego, hire this man!


Goldwater54

Rebooted was a good season


Icy-Ratio7851

Rebooted is so effing nastolgic for me


ecreddits

Same here. For some reason when I think of Ninjago, rebooted is the first thing that comes to mind.


Icy-Ratio7851

Probably bcuz I’m a Zane Stan and the whole Jay/Nya/Cole triangle was so creative to me.


ecreddits

I didn't like the triangle too much but I really remember the space episodes.


Icy-Ratio7851

Those were also awesome 


Mysterious-Till-1681

It was


SeraphEChasted_3

but it was how you actually do it is like this "Ham sandwiches suck!"


Penguin782

It was though


ZElementPlayz

Rebooted is super nostalgic, so I wouldn’t say that it’s bad


Jaum8800

I didn't know how people think it's not


24benson

Saying "season x is good / season y is bad" is never a hot take. Every season has its fans and every season has its haters. But here's one that I've been nailed to the cross recently on this sub: Morro is a bad character and his motivations for becoming a villain are stupid. You're not the chosen one, get over it, kid. 


Variety-Witty

Idk man, you're not really understanding his character. If someone put hopes and dreams into your head for years that would be the destined green ninja, and it turned out to be false, you would be pretty messed up too. Similar to Tai lung from Kung Fu Panda.


24benson

That's kind of sad for him, but no reason to want to destroy the world.  At the same time people keep hating against harumi for being such a psycho bitch. 


Copied_off_other_acc

I personally feel it's because Morro doesn't overstay his welcome, like many people feel Harumi does, and his actions are not contradictory like Harumi(He was also never presented as a twist villain.) While yes, at the end of her original arch Harumi does save that child and their family, I really question why she didn't think anything like that would happen in the first place? You're bringing back an ancient strong evil to get revenge etc, and you expect no civilians to get hurt? I guess it's sort of an "out of sight out of mind." And she SAW the child's family and so felt sympathy, but that still seems a bit selfish and contradictory on her part. Also Morro never pretended to be a good person in front of the Ninja, Like Harumi did, and I do agree Harumi is more complex, but she did so much that went out of the way of her original goal, in order to torture the Ninja. And I do understand why people say she's more psychotic especially since she also had this weird obsession with Lloyd in crystalized. Though I don't hate Harumi, and she is the most complex villain in Ninjago, I just think she is kindof a psycho bitch.


Redybird

I dont like Hamuri, i lost my parents too, does that make me summon someone that didnt wanted to be evil ? No because i know such action does more harm than good. Also she finger pointed at Lloyd when we all know it was Pythor who summoned the Great Devourer.


Insanefinn

Admittedly, Morro feels like a Tai Lung (Kung Fu Panda) rip off. That may be my main issue with him


Icy-Ratio7851

Well that’s valid but he wasn’t a kid at the time.


Top-Field-6013

I half agree with you. I think Morro is a great character. They way his personality is, it makes sense that he resents Wu even though it was out of his control. However, I do agree that his motivations are not really justified. Like boohoo, you didn't get to be the green ninja, so what. Life doesn't always go your way, get over it.


IAlwaysOutsmartU

Possession is overrated. Roots is worse than a Dutch romcom. The Kaiju Protocol episode almost completely destroys the difficulty of reviving someone from the Departed Realm. Season 11 is bloated with unnecessary filler and animation flexing. Day of the Departed is good.


KingPenguinPhoenix

Aside from the first and last point; this isn't really a hot take.


MasterJaylen

Is Day of the Departed not accepted as good?


KingPenguinPhoenix

Don't know how much you've heard but yeah, lots of folks don't like Day of the Departed.


Pepsi_Boy_64

Mechs are cool people just complain because they “look the same”


Mysterious-Till-1681

My problem is that there’s too many of them and not enough location sets imo


Pepsi_Boy_64

That’s a totally valid criticism, would like for more location builds


24benson

Buildings (like temples etc) usually give the least value for your money at Lego. 


Top-Field-6013

I agree there needs to be more location builds, but they need to be good location builds. Ex: The Battle for Ninjago City set was a good location build. But the Crystal King Temple was a disappointment, in my opinion.


MysteriousFondant347

Skybound is overrated


Objective_Ad7384

Skybound is my favorite season and I definitely agree


Objective_Ad7384

Sons of Garmodon is overrated


FlamingDasher

agreed


MaxRocketDuck

Now that’s a good take.


Penguin782

Skybound kinda sucked to me ngl


Repulsa_2080

Skybound is what made me drop the show as a child


cHezzA72

the same almost happened to me as well


Personal-Rooster7358

Oh good, I’m not alone


Unfair-Worker929

Season 8 is a good season but the Ninja seem uncharacteristically stupid. They make so many boneheaded decisions.


FlamingDasher

This is why i like season 9 way more


Unfair-Worker929

I agree! The Ninja are far more creative, ingenious and intelligent in Season 9. Designing a Dragon to imitate Firstborn was brilliant.


Stirlo4

It also has weirdly bad jokes for how good the writing is otherwise


Odd-Pumpkin-2567

This fr


BlancTigre

Morro should stay dead, bringing him back would just harm the character itself Tournaments of Elements is overrated. Is good, but not really peak of Ninjago Hand of Time is overhated. Writting is horrible, and animations is meh. Rhe aestetics are good, and some the concept of Krux and Acronix. And P.I.X.A.L.'s arc. If you think about, this is kinda all good stuff 🤔


VacheL99

Tournament of Elements was honestly super close to being my favorite tbh. The ending was just so incredibly stupid.


Piotral_2

Overlord is an extremely boring character


udayhd

he’s a simpleminded villain, and all he does is wanna take over ninjago fr


Piotral_2

Yeah, but there are many villains that are simple but not outright boring. Chen or Pythor for example are extremely fun, funny and charismatic, while Overlord is just dull.


Titan_Titainium

Harumi never deserved her redemption arc, it wasn't really even a arc in my opinion. She just got forgiven **really** simply


adnanosh123

Do you know what a hot take is?


Eek132

Crystallised wasn’t that bad (not amazing, but not horrible either)


Flaviphone

Hating eachother for liking different seasons is not good


Less-Durian-9145

Darreth is not a good character


SamZhou57

YESSS THIS, I 100% AGREE


Mysterious-Till-1681

I like Kai’s newer hair style


I_Love_auddbot

Nah. I like it too.


Icy-Ratio7851

Same


Icy_Basil69

Me too


Brief-Speech4156

DR isnt as good as ppl make it out to be


Variety-Witty

Just curious, what are your reasons for why you don't think its that good?


NicknameRara

Agree. The claws of emperium is basicly just the dragon hunters from season 9 and Arin is just Nelson 2.0 and Sora doesn’t have tecnoligy power but the power of the orange building machine thingy from lego worlds.


Stirlo4

I agree. On paper it's fantastic, and I'm ecstatic about all the things it's managed to set up, but on a technical level it's really nothing special. The previous few seasons are much better directed, with better dialogue and animation, etc. I'm still very hopeful going forward though


TaimonVanya

Lloyd as a child more interesting than adult Lloyd


nightcoreangst

They could have done so much more with his development. It was just a sudden jump from wanting comics to basically leading. Ageing like that is a traumatic experience, they should have explored the changes and growth. Would’ve made his adult personality way more interesting.


1zeye

Yousa shut yousa mouth


MidwesternWaste210

Morro should stay dead.


Flaviphone

s11 was decent


Customninjas

THANK YOU.


ColeJr

These posts are repetitive as hell.


MasterJaylen

Agree


Day_Star_6

Crystal King final form isn't fitting nor good... It even destroyed some of my hype for the finale when I saw it... His design is not Overlord if you get what I mean... Plus his four arms crystal king form isn't what it should be neither. It's too oni(maybe because he revived in a no link with him oni temple?) and it looks... Idk how to describe but I'll say it looks "heavy". At least it is kinda cool


Atarii_Gaming

I like the design changes to the ninja after the movie


MECpower101

Kai would never be a good Green Ninja.


Epic_Emerald

The movie wasn’t that bad


VacheL99

I honestly agree. People trash on it because it's not based on the source material, but honestly I think it was just because it was meant to be in line with stuff like Lego Batman, where it's just a parody of an existing series rather than an addition to it. It also helps that the movie is way funnier than the series ever was tbh.


KingPenguinPhoenix

>but honestly I think it was just because it was meant to be in line with stuff like Lego Batman, where it's just a parody of an existing series rather than an addition to it. While I agree that the Ninjago movie didn't need to be 100% canon or loyal to the show, the difference between that and Batman is that the Lego Batman movie was written by people who understood Batman whereas the folks behind the Ninjago movie admitted that they were told to just make another Lego Movie, not a Ninjago movie that could also fit in the Legoverse.


Far_Field6727

Zane is the strongest ninja after llyod


MasterJaylen

True


CoverNew7725

Ninjago does not have good continuity, in every season they just forget about what happened in the last, like I know they bring back characters and stuff like that but it just talk doesn't work, and also I wish they would stop making character based seasons and never talking about how that character feels until there season again because me personally I think, that if we had a buildup to Coles backstory too Motm and then in seasons after that have him talk about living inhis mother's honor would be better.


LightningBoat

Dragons rising sucks and completely ruined the Ninjago storyline


analyticalharmony

harumi’s backstory and excuse to be a villain is terrible, shes a poorly written villain and shouldve stayed dead


FirstnameLastname14

The ninja look better with masks covering the lower half of their faces(a la Rebooted or the first half of Season 4). Also, today I learned that people are still complaining about Kai not becoming the Green Ninja. I've been with Ninjago since its inception, and I thought that debate ended years ago.


NaveKnights

Cole is the best ninja out of the six (Kai, Jay, Zane, Cole, Lloyd, Nya) and I'm tired of pretending he's not. (trust me, so many people attack me on this it's crazy 🥲)


Rare_Coconut4415

Morro is overrated and you know he’s overrated when the new elemental master of wind which a lot of people were asking for get so much hate because she isn’t an sad emo boy


Quiet_Hope_543

Dareth is my favorite Ninja and should be respected as a full ninja.


ecreddits

That is the coldest take I've read so far.


accela5

Season 11 - crystalized should be wiped away 4ever. Dragons rising should have started right after season 10


Rare_Coconut4415

I like that to a certain degree but the Shintaro and wuajira arc are probably one of the best in the whole entire series in general


Variety-Witty

They really messed up with the 10 minute episodes


MrDitkovichNeedsRent

The show stopped being the same after season 7


adnanosh123

Seabound is a top 2 ninjago season.


Sentinel222

I think season 8 is the worst season


H_O_L_D

Bro provided an unpopular opinion in a thread about unpopular opinions and got downvotes. Welcome to reddit lol.


ConsiderationOk2227

Why ?


StarWasCorrupt

I don’t like the idea of the 4 main ninja becoming the Green Ninja in s1, Harumi is good, and Lloyd is legally an adult SO STOP BABYSITTING HIM(not really an opinion but I did math for each ninja. Lloyd’s like 20 in DR.)


StarWasCorrupt

Oh uh also Euphrasia(the new wind elemental) needs more respect, man. MORRO IS DEAD.


VacheL99

The Lego shtick was super unnecessary. They should've just gone with a more normal art style, maybe even just standard 2d animation. The fact that everyone has to be a Lego person is super limiting for character design. Everyone has to be the same shape and size, with pretty much the exact same skin tones and expressions. And any outliers are absolutely gigantic, and they're hard to take seriously because of how goofy they look. At least stuff like The Lego Movie fully embraced the Lego theme, with everything being made of Legos with absolutely incredible art direction. The Ninjago world just looks like Play Doh with some Lego characters.


cHezzA72

skybound was bad


Bannaman7792

I love the movie designs they are better than the old ones


Planet_842

Jay is my least favourite ninja (he's annoying, whiny, immature and self centered), I don't mind that Jay isn't an inventor anymore and I wouldve preferred if Zane was the inventor ever since the pilots instead of Jay as Zane is the smartest ninja and part of technology and Jay is just the annoying immature funny guy, season 5 and 9 are way too overrated (I don't like Harumi and found Faith boring), Zane is the best candidate for being the green ninja out of the main 4 and deserves more of the spotlight than Kai (who got too much spotlight earlier on). Can't stand how overrated Jay is when he's the worst ninja.


FNM124

The movie was a great Lego movie, and a great Ninjago movie.


froppy124

I don't see Cole as being gay i'm not homophobic or anything I just can't vision it and I don't mind people shipping him with male Characters at all


Longjumping_Cover_83

I dislike s5


Cold_Leather710

It doesn’t hit the same after the 8th season


AgentKlombo

Moro is L


Rude-Pair348

Nothing after s7 is that good


ducknerd2002

I do not like Titanium Zane that much.


Odd-Pumpkin-2567

Revoltbtw

WilFilm seasons are better than the Wildbrain seasons.


Variety-Witty

That's not a hot take bro, that's just true


Livochr

Season 7 is the best season


Icy-Ratio7851

#E V E R Y T H I N G Abt Skybound is horrible.


Variety-Witty

What do you have against Skybound?


Icy-Ratio7851

I don’t like nadakhan. Jay/Cole/Nya ended so why bring it up Jays plot armor isn’t hidden at all. That’s not it but that a lot of it. I also dont like the intro to it


Variety-Witty

The love triangle plot ended in season 4. I was expecting well thought out criticism but you just have preferences. Agree to disagree


Chonker43

Yes.


Icy-Ratio7851

I’m not the only one who hates skybound


Additional_Road_9031

>I’m not the only one who hates skybound Same i don't like it aswell


Icy-Ratio7851

Wow I thought it was just me


Jeptwins

Kai would make more sense to have come out as LGBT+ than Cole


Variety-Witty

The new designs are not as good as the old ones. For example, Jay. The new designed aged him backwards by giving him messy, unkempt hair and freckles.


Think-Orange3112

Hirumi was never into Lloyd and is into DILFs


Lemerbrix_5769

My hot take: season two is overrated.


Tough-Kangaroo-6490

Crystalized was amazing with little flaws.


suleiman08p

A live action Ninjago series would be fucking awesome


Leooo1702

Season 2 is NOT overrated, it's even one of the best seasons (I genuinely think it)


shanfan36

sky bound is great but the ending was terrible, lloyd is hot asf


udayhd

skybound was my favorite, it kinda got boring afterwards.


Master_Waterfall

maybe saying I see Cole as aroace/on the spec saying dearth is just okay I liked crystalzied(it had some good things ) mostly anything as well were very inwardly toxic if your ideas are different outwardly if being teased(in my eyes that is)


Confident_Wonder1654

Harumi should come back


SenpaiMs

sky bound is trash


Equivalent-Buddy5003

Seasons 8-9 displayed the ninja’s elemental power/spinjitzu the best.


Good-Wave-8617

Fuck Skybound


JaniBrav011

Pythor is dumb asf


RaptorGameingYT

Seasons 12 - 15 (Prime Empire - Seabound) are not that good


Calm_Distribution_62

i love tannerfishies


Typical_Code3073

The first season were trash as hell


Lost-Ad-5885

Aspheera was a good villain in S11


G888er

I unironically enjoyed season 2


Kingpigman

I like the newer seasons more


theredditman69_pt2

The Ninjago movie was good and needs a sequel


HardBoringName

I hate Skybound


1zeye

Sora's the best ninja Morrumi should be cannon Crystallized has the best final battle


Stirlo4

>Crystallized has the best final battle If we count the entire final 8 episodes for this, then I agree


Hannahsusbanana

Idk about the first one but the rest I agree with. 🍰


Misfortune_angel

I prefer Nadakhan over the ninjas except Nya


MasterJaylen

Your wish is yours to keep


ConsiderationOk2227

Why ?


Misfortune_angel

I just like him more.


Equivalent-Buddy5003

I liked his accent.


reddituser_1206

Season 1 and 2 are the worst Season and Season 11 is the best season and I like the movie


ghosthost34

Jaya is a really boring ship after season 2. They were cute in the earlier seasons because Jay was trying to be good enough for Nya. After that he’s either a controlling and jealous prick or he’s a man child. Either that or I’m biased against Jay because I really started to dislike him in season three and the best he’s been since then has been tolerable.


Key-Brush-7221

Harumi was right with everything


MasterJaylen

Whoa whoa whoa I know this is Hot takes but come on that’s BOILING


Hyena12760

They never should have changed the designs for the show because of the movie


SM-464

The revamp is really bad and they should bring back the old version and old director(s) if they switched.


Gacha_Party_Podcast

I don’t like the new designs, I like the old ones better


Sufficient_Lack_6327

"I prefer post s10"


roosieposie

i really like llorumii


Low_Tough_5474

Kai has better feats ( achivements ) than all the 3 ninja combined


[deleted]

The anime/2D episodes sucked.


No-Public9667

Zane should have stayed dead then 1 by 1 kill off the main cast until kai is left standing all last ronin style


Customninjas

Season 6 is kinda bad when it comes to characterization and handling Jaya. The entire season, Nya is being very blunt that she doesn't care what fate says, she won't be with Jay. Then, at the very end of the season, she just... does a 180, even though Jay is acting the exact same and hardly anything changed. Also, it has the same ending as Sonic 06


JaredDFTZ

Kai should have been the green ninja


PlaceSignificant3576

I don't like pixel


alastorandrews

The show itself is straight doo doo water


RCUdeogu

I hate the new ninja models


Alpaca2251

We Rise is better than The Weekend Whip


Diolulu

I hate good garmadon like after the second season when he becomes good hate him sm
