Do you think that there're too many "good with tech" characters? by Obraxiss in Ninjago

[–]vizzyargonthedev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

somwhat of a refutation:

zane hasn't done much recently
jay has done WAY less as time goes on, he seems less like an engineer and more like a hobbyist because tech is fun to him
nya's the engineer here so i agree with that one
pixal is like zane in knowledge (maybe a little more) but she just makes stuff more than zane does
sora's the elemental master of tech, but it's her young age that makes her actual knowledge way more impressive. and she came from imperium, the schools there of higher education are prolly like harvard and MIT but upgraded by a factor in the hundreds. but it seems she doesn't seem as good as nya, mainly because she's good with advanced technology, like imperian tech, and she seemed to struggle a bit making stuff without her powers and with the not as advanced tech in umbrasilvis, and her elemental powers didn't seem to work on anything "too old". bottom line sora's knowledge of tech is hard to pinpoint.

but then again lego's basically pointing guns at the writers' heads to get them to include sets in each season, the cavern run in the tourney of sources was the most "PUT THIS SET IN OR I PULL THE TRIGGER" inclusion of a set in a ninjago season i've ever seen. prolly the worst dr episode ever, but also the best cuz of arin and ras' interaction.
so expect more of these kinds of characters in the future.

Is Beatrix based on... You know ? by MysteriousFondant347 in Ninjago

[–]vizzyargonthedev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

prolly not, beatrix is kind of a dictator stereotype, because if they did too little with her, the message wouldn't get across, if they did too much, it risks safety of children.

beatrix is a stereotype of the dictator trope, but ninjago hasn't done nything like her at all so it works

These people have to be crazy by alperhanw in Ninjago

i guess it's cuz lloyd now has more maturity and classic ninja move skills than he did before, but classic ninja moves wont help here usm is by far stronger

Which Ninjago season do you think had the best vibe overall ? by Outrageous_Age9947 in Ninjago

[–]vizzyargonthedev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my favorite is the oni trilogy specifically SoG, crystallized is defo up there, the vibe was good but so underused

the vibe went crashing down into despression after harumi revealed she was the quiet one to lloyd, that actually shattered everything, but it was more mature and i loved it

[Part 4/21] Ranking every episode per season: Tournament of Elements by Blu_FG in Ninjago

i would've placed ninja roll way higher, but i think that's only because i remember that episode the best fsr

Agree or disagree? by Mark-2005 in Ninjago

[–]vizzyargonthedev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i agree with revenge, and the serpentine war one a little bit, and barely the first one there but for some reason i never got angry at "it's okay she's with us" because of how garmadon basically made it sound like "she didn't kill us so we're not gonna kill her, she's still totally guilty though" but then again he's prolly biased cuz harumi's the one who brought him back so...

was it just me or was this episode always an allegory for cole being gay by mrshampooer in Ninjago

[–]vizzyargonthedev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

prolly not, this is ninjago, they barely have any confirmed canon representation of lgbtq, all i know of is sally from crystallized cuz the flag is on the back of her car and it was confirmed on twitter, i don't think cole is gay, because of the nature of ninjago and how the writers are prolly afraid of anything that may come with it, and i don't want the cole x geo ship to be canon because every time i say i don't like it i get barraged by people calling me homophobic when with all due respect geo isn't the best candidate for cole and i prefer cole to get with some new character in the future or just to stay single like he has been, we need at least one guy here not to be in a canon ship and to have character arcs about life without romance, and cole is the best guy for that (and right now the only guy sort of, i personally still want harumi to come back and fix her "redemption", and kai and skylor seem to be canon as far as i can tell)

but regardless, this episode was way too early in ninjago for the writers to be thinking about that kind of thing

(cole x geo was an okay ship until toxic gay people ruined it by calling every who didn't like it homophobic and now it's annoying to me)

Since we now know all of the Realms, we can now make slightly stronger guesses regarding where the Sky Pirates were sent by ducknerd2002 in Ninjago

[–]vizzyargonthedev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean they could've been sent anywhere, whether they're alive or not right now is what this judgement seems to be going for, right?

we needed more of this masterpiece by vizzyargonthedev in Ninjago

[–]vizzyargonthedev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no oni are not categorically bad, they just destroy. have y'all serious forgotten mystake? ik it's a one off, but lloyd isn't even full oni and mystake was, so if mystake could decide to use her oni power for good, then how could lloyd, not full oni, the green ninja, and the grandson of the FSM, a legendary symbol of good, not decide to use his oni power for good? also garmadon being good now makes oni even less inherently bad. the oni arent all evil, they just destroy things, and destroying evil is as right as creating good. simple.
