Something I love about ninjago is the fact that the villains actually WIN sometimes. It immediately raises the intensity and perceived danger level when a villain makes a good plan that actually works. I will never forget how intense the final battle with the overlord was in season two when I watched it the first time, and a lot of that is due to Lloyd losing against overlord/garm on the island. He failed, the others failed, but after that they still went to the city and fought, and that made me love and admire the ninja in a way I hadn’t, because how many times do you watch a hero go into a fight knowing they will lose everything if they fail again, knowing they absolutely CAN FAIL. And it’s nice that they keep up with the stakes throughout most other seasons. It’s definitely one of the things I really love about this show.
why aren’t there more concepts around the overlord being absolutely terrifying. horror-movie level eldritch being. the embodiment of DARKNESS and EVIL ITSELF should be a terrifying entity not only psychologically but also physically
Just a little funny idea but the overlord can change his shape/form right? Imagine if he makes himself look like lloyd and he just looks like one of those shadow mario clones from super mario galaxy
Definitely not where you were going with this but I was inspired
Anyone Know any Evil Lloyd Garmadon(still the Green Ninja though) Romance Fanfiction though im trying to find one that has Lloyd complete with Oni-Dragon Form cuz like HES JUST SO FUKING HADSOME & ATTRACTIVE I MEAN JUST LOOK AT HIM😫😫😫
IM JUST SO FUKING IN LOVE WITH HIM AHHH ITS JUST SO NOT FAIR HOW IS HE SO FUKING ATTRACTIVE WAH🥰🥰🥰
upset that we got the ice emperor instead of the overlord realizing that Zane falling into the neverrealm left him injured, alone, and with a convenient source of incredible power right next to him and deciding to overwhelm him and take control.
it would have tied into previous seasons more, addressed the implications of decoded, not broken Zane’s literal core programming, and probably would have been a cooler overlord return then crystallized
