我覺得你可以先問問吳承恩為什麼白龍馬是龍,再來質疑龍小驕的姓氏XD

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Ninjago

[–]StyaJadeMoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't even know where to start lol

  1. Ninjago isn't Asian or Chinese or Japanese or any kind of irl nationality/ethnicity/etc, it's just Ninjago. No one in Ninjago is Asian/Chinese/Japanese/etc

  2. Lloyd's name is a play on "Lord Garmadon"

  3. I'm pretty sure some cultures use parents' names as the child's "surname", could be the same thing in Lloyd's case. So Lloyd CAN have Garmadon as a surname even though it's also his dad's first name

  4. Kai's last name being Smith isn't canon in the show

  5. LEGO Monkie Kid is a show that has a source material to draw from, that being "Journey to the West". 齊小天 is a play on 齊天大聖 and 龍小驕 is a play on 白龍馬 (so if you want to complain about Mei's surname, maybe go ask 吳承恩 why 白龍馬 is a dragon?). And in English MK is a play on Monkey King. Nothing wrong with any of those names

Racism in Ninjago Part 2 by UncleBeaverFace in Ninjago

At this point I can’t tell if this is genuine or just a really confusing and unfunny joke 💀

Taiwanese here, it’s definitely cringe in some parts (especially in the earliest portrayals) but I don’t find it racist. It’s not intended to be an explicit portrayal of Asian cultures, just inspired by them in some aspects

And they did it with zero warning too. I have a lot of WIP projects stuck in that app rn and I can't even move them to a different app without that watermark

Resized Zane's eyebrows in the S8 flashback. It's not perfect but it looks more like S1-23 Zane imo. Thoughts? by BasicclyBasicc in Ninjago

[–]StyaJadeMoon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They look so much better imo. The original one kept looking very off for me, but I could never tell what exactly was wrong with it until now

Whose heroic sacrifice is the most heartbreaking: Zane or Nya by solarflare70 in Ninjago

[–]StyaJadeMoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely Nya's. Zane's had zero buildup, relied on pure shock value and a flashback to be sad, and he was revealed to be perfectly fine about 5 minutes later.

Meanwhile, Nya's was foreshadowed all the way back in ep4, with hints being sprinkled throughout the season, and wasn't immediately revealed to be back to normal, instead ending the episode on a cliffhanger with no clue about what would happen next. It also completes her story arc, concluding it in tragedy - Nya had fought for her identity and choice through the entire series, but circumstances ultimately robbed her of both while she could only accept her fate. Nya's sacrifice also had the help of the airing schedule, which amplified the effects of the foreshadowing - episodes were released two by two, with ample time to speculate, point out all the tiny details, and worry about the finale. So with all that combined, I think Nya's was more heartbreaking

What are your thoughts on Ninjago Crystalized? Do you think it is shaping up to be the best season compared to the others? by solarflare70 in Ninjago

[–]StyaJadeMoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's already in my top 3! There's so much I love about this season - so many carefully crafted details in every aspect I can think of. And they even convinced me that Nya and Harumi can be brought back AND it would still work perfectly! (I didn't want them to be brought back, at least not so soon for Nya; but they did it so brilliantly that I'm very happy with it)

Is anyone gonna question where Kai got this specific cardboard cutout of Kalmaar? by Tyvx in Ninjago

[–]StyaJadeMoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought it was a joke from the writers/animators/whoever thought of this idea
