You know, if Ninjago keeps going on and on like this, the 30th version of the Destiny's Bounty Lego releases in 2050 better be flying for real
Dashi: What are your goals?
Chase: To pet all the cats.
Dashi: No, training goals.
Chase: To be strong enough to climb every tree.
Dashi: That's good.
Chase: So I can pet all the cats.
Dashi: Chase, no.
Nya: Okay, you're driving and Lloyd and Jay walk into the road. What do you hit?
Kai: Oh, definitely Jay. I could never hurt Lloyd.
Nya: The brakes, Kai! You hit the brakes!
Don't know about you, but I'll be totally devastated when Candace's iconic pink flip phone inevitably gets turned into a generic smartphone for the remake. I know it was already happening in the newer seasons in the mid 2010s, but it used to be Candace's signature accessory and part of so many cozy memories. I think it will hurt seeing it happen all over again, just a little reminder that things will never be quite the same
Nya: For self-defense reasons, I'm going to pretend to be a burglar and you guys have to act wisely.
Jay, Lloyd and Zane: Okay.
Nya: If you don't want to die, give me all your money!
Jay: Bold of you to assume I have money.
Lloyd: Bold of you to assume I don't want to die.
Zane: Bold of you to assume I can die.
I think the fandom tends to depict Monogram a bit too harsh sometimes. I mean, sure, he doesn't pay Perry well enough and doesn't give him much free time, but that's not necessarily up to him. He's constantly praising and congratulating Perry even for smaller accomplishments like making a cool entrance into the lair or wearing a good disguise.
He worries for him and asks him to be careful during missions.
He organized a birthday party for him even if he got the dates mixed up.
He was literally bawling his eyes out when Doofenshmirtz made all those clones and framed Perry for evil, and he was crying in happiness when Perry proved his innocence.
Sure, he's far from perfect both as a boss and as a person, but he is trying, except maybe the way he treats Carl. That's pretty messed up. But I think he genuinely cares about Perry. He knew him since he was a little baby platypus and watched him grow into the best OWCA secret agent. Of course he's proud of him.
Also, Perry is far from submissive. He respects Monogram to a certain degree, but he won't hesitate to let him know exactly how he feels. Monogram knows what each sarcastic look and side eye Perry gives him mean and acknowledges his opinions and objections.
My point is, Monogram and Perry might be boss and subordinate, but in a very casual, chill sort of way.
Every Lloyd ship is so unhinged it's crazy when you think about it.
I mean, there's this psycho princess who's secretly the leader of a biker gang and also a cult who wants to resurrect his departed father and conquer the city.
A girl who can turn into a giant three-tailed wolf and is on a revenge quest to assassinate the evil emperor who turned her tribe to ice.
The prince of an underwater civilization who had to battle his evil octopus brother for the throne.
An anthropomorphic tiger man who's also the leader of a cult trying to resurrect an ancient evil after his home land had been compromised.
And then there's frickin Brad at the flower shop
Like you can't make this stuff up ðŸ˜
Honestly if Jaya hadn't been established since day one, I would see all the ninja strictly as siblings. Something about the Brother sharpens Brother thing, and the fact these 6 have basically grown up together and lived under the same roof for years.
Honestly, the only reason I'm comfortable with Lava or Bruise or Opposite or whatever is the fact Jaya exists. If not, instead of the RGB siblings I'd probably be the biggest RGBBBW siblings stan right now.
I think Nya just likes crossdressing, considering there are female cops and pirates in the Ninjago universe. And you know what, she's so real for that.
Nya and Jay are both canonical crossdressers and I think that's neat
