So the Overlord has been planning since his “defeat” to the FSM. He wanted a perfect vessel, So he corrupted the Devourer in order for Garmadon to go to the Dark island and everything that happened in S2. But he seemed to believe the body Harumi gave him to be the perfect one...So what if Harumi was just a next paw? A backup plan if Garmadon wasn’t the perfect vessel. He manipuled Garmadon entire life, so why not also Harumi? Hating the ninjas because of them failing to kill the Devourer, Anger at Lloyd for not saving her, Fear of Death. Lloyd says Harumi is Anger, Hate and Fear, everything that gives the Overlord power. He waits for Harumi to ressurect Garmadon and them die in order to trully contact her, it’s a perfect plan! If we use the book “Garmadon Rulez”, it’s said that Harumi heard a voice coming from the Oni mask...What if that was the Overlord starting the next ressurection?

Damn, I am ispired thanks to this finale!

Lego Ninjago Movie Theory: Lloyd does have an elemental power and it's different than in the show. He just hasn't unlocked it yet.

~~~~~~~

"Green is the power of Life. It connects all living things. Just like how I connect the ninja" - Movie!Lloyd

~~~~~~~

Okay, let me explain! In the movie, after Sensei Wu demonstrates all of the other Ninja's elemental powers one by one, Lloyd realizes that he's been skipped over and left out. (As if he doesn't already feel this way on a daily basis jeez someone give this kid a break and a therapist please.) But after asking Sensei Wu what his power is, Wu simply says...

"Green."

Which, okay, definitely doesn't answer his question. And even after Lloyd lists other elements that he could be, Wu's answer remains the same: "Green."

What does that mean? How can a color be an elemental power? It doesn't make sense. Not yet. But it will.

Later in the movie, when the ninja (along with Garmadon) find the Ultimate Ultimate Weapons, they are all in the shape of their element.

Zane's is shaped like an ice crystal, Cole's is shaped like a rock, Jay's is shaped like a lightening bolt, Kai's is shaped like a flame, and Nya's is shaped like a water splash. And then we get to Lloyd's. Lloyd's is shaped like...

A branch? Or a tree? Yes, it's obviously designed to hold all of the other elements, but the shape itself is so similar to a plant that it's hard to dismiss. It feels intentional.

Could it be, perhaps, a reference to the Tree of Life?

Which would make Lloyd's element Life itself. Life works well in so many ways for movie!Lloyd. Life not only connects all of the other elements, but it also creates and supports them. Plus the color green is often associated with Life, especially plant life, aka 'greenery'. And in Lloyd's promotional photo for the movie-

He's shown amongst plant life. All of the other Ninja's promotional photos show them with their element, so it stands to reason that Lloyd is shown here with his.

This means that when Lloyd does eventually unlock his elemental power, he'll be able to control plant life!

But Life is more than just plant life. And Lloyd's Life powers are more than that too. In fact, he might have already displayed other cool powers related to Life right under our noses.

And one of those instances is when his arm ripped off and when it was put back it was completely fine afterwards.

But that's just because they're Legos! You say. That probably happens to everyone all of the time.

Well if that's really the case, then why did everyone freak out as much as they did? Some of them were even close to throwing up... which must mean the scene was gory at least to them. And when Garmadon put his arm back into place, he told Lloyd that'd it'd be excruciating pain. But Lloyd didn't seem to feel any pain at all...in fact he didn't even scream or say "ow" or anything like that. But why is that?

It's because Lloyd unconsciously used the element of Life to automatically start healing his wound.

Life is also in relation to Life force, so it stands to reason that someone with the power of Life could heal using life force. One example of this in other media, in the webcomic Homestuck, Jane who was a Maid of Life was able to heal both herself and fellow players from wounds that would have killed them otherwise.

Jane using her Life powers to revive herself after a fatal wound.

So it stands to reason that once Lloyd unlocks his elemental power he should be able to heal not only himself, but also his fellow ninja!

Another aspect of Life is animal life. It just so happens that we also have a scene where Lloyd displays some connection and even control of animal life. And that's when he was the only one able to calm down and tame Meowthra.

So he might also have at least some influence over animals as well with his Life powers, not just plants!

But if all of this is true, then why didn't he unlock his Life elemental power along with the other ninja?

Well, I think the simple answer to that is that he hadn't yet overcome his mental blocks.

The other ninja had already overcame theirs. Their first mental block was that they were too dependent on the mechs and had grown lazy because of it. That mental block was taken care of when their mechs were broken by Meowthra. But due to that they experienced a second mental block- feeling inadequate and useless without their mechs. This was solved when Lloyd assured them that they had the power inside of them and didn't need the mechs or even the Ultimate Ultimate Weapons.

But Lloyd's mental block was something entirely different.

Lloyd's mental block was his relationship with his father.

All throughout the film he struggles with his relationship to Garmadon. And at that point in time, when the other ninja where unlocking their elemental powers, Garmadon had just betrayed him by stealing the Ultimate Ultimate Weapons for himself.

It isn't until the very end of the movie that Lloyd had reached catharsis with the relationship with his father and they have both taken the first steps to repairing it. It's likely that sometime after the events of the movie, now that this mental block has finally been resolved, that Lloyd unlocks his elemental power of Life.

And he becomes able to summon plants the same way the other ninja summon their elements, along with a couple of bonuses (healing and animal handling). I mean, he is the leader and connection between all of the ninja after all! It's reasonable he'd get a couple of bonus powers to put him ahead of the rest.

~~~~~~~

And yes, yes. I know in the show that Lloyd's element is just Power itself, or "Energy". But this is a theory specifically for the movie!verse. Besides, fan theories are all about just having some speculative fun!

He absolutely would have said nasty things without knowing what he was talking about, or outright saying things he knew were messed up just so he could avoid being a target.

It's also possible that without people purposefully showing him how to be kind, or understand...anything really, then its possible he said hateful things knowing what they meant and knowing he could/was hurting people and that as he spends more time with the ninja, his ideas and opinions change and he realizes he doesnt want to hurt people anymore. He doesnt hate people anymore. He wants to help others. And he becomes the green ninja. And knowing how it felt to want to hurt makes him better suited for dealing with villains like Harumi whose goal is to hurt like she was hurt.

he was definitely homophobic at some point

Ninjago theory:

Dragons Rising makes The Ninja team up with other people, then the Other People essentially become ninja, at the end of the season The Ninja go home or whateve, exit stage left, and essentially pass the baton. Which closes out The Ninjas story but continues ninjago for newer fans.

Why else would Crystallized be promoted as the final season? And lego has been adding a lot of new themes and transitioning Friends to be The Friends kids, so I feel like it would fit with the flow of the company.

questions i still have about dragons rising

NINJAGO POST-CRYSTALIZED THEORY

What if Pythor knew everything and initially did not want to go over to Over's side?

He knew about the return of the Overlord, even when he bought the vengestone. Chumsworth realized that the Crystal King would kill him if they weren't on the same side, because he knew Over better than anyone, no matter if the anacondrai was neutral or with the Wu Kru. Then he ALLOWED the new ninjas to catch him, because the Kryptarium is the most guarded place in Ninjago. He wanted to wait there until the old ninjas defeated the enemy once again, but when they ended up in prison, he had to change tactics.

Once he was invited to join the Crystal King, he didn't even ask for details so as not to arouse suspicion.

The new plan was to pretend to be helpful. In "The fall of the monastery", Pythor grabs Nya and holds the nagitana to her throat, but does nothing. In the "Safe heaven" series, he was able to send an army to fight Skylor, but began to fight a stronger opponent alone. Why?

Overlord is Pythor's main rival in the conquest of Ninjago. The fewer ninjas and their friends die, the easier it is for them to get rid of the Crystal King.

As a result, Chumsworth achieved his goal and not only remained alive, but also without the pressure of Over. In addition, we were not shown how the villains were put in jail, which means that, as a bonus, he received freedom.

This means that Pythor's plan worked perfectly for once!

Что, если Пайтор всё знал и изначально не хотел переходить на сторону Овера?

Он знал о возвращении Оверлорда, ещё когда тот закупал венджестоун. Чамсворт понял, что Кристальный король убьёт его, если они не будут на одной стороне, потому что он знал Овера лучше, чем кто-либо, при том не важно нейтрален ли анакондрай или с Ву кру. Тогда он ПОЗВОЛИЛ новым ниндзя поймать себя, ведь Криптариум – самое охраняемое место в Ниндзяго. Он хотел переждать там, пока настоящие ниндзя не победят врага в очередной раз, но когда и они оказались в тюрьме, пришлось менять тактику.

Как только ему поступило приглашение присоединиться к Кристальному королю, он даже не спросил деталей, чтобы не вызвать подозрений. Новый план заключался в том, чтобы притворяться полезным.

В серии "The fall of the monastery" Пайтор хватает Нию и прислоняет нагитану к её горлу, но ничего не делает. В серии Safe heaven он мог послать в бой со Скайлор армию, но начал сражаться с более сильным противником в одиночку. Зачем?

Оверлорд – главный конкурент Пайтора в завоевании Ниндзяго.

Чем меньше ниндзя и их друзей погибнет, тем легче им от избавиться от Кристального короля.

По итогу Чамсворт добился своего и не только остался жив, но и без давления Овера. Кроме того нам не показали, как злодеев садят в тюрьму, а значит, как бонус, он получил свободу.

Это значит, что план Пайтора в кои-то веки идеально сработал!

Ninjago Dragons Rising (Season 2 Part 2)

WARNING! THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS!

I Have a LOT of things to say.

This part 2 has EXCEEDED my expectations by bringing back the nostalgia of season 4 in its glory, and getting the Pale Man reveal.

In this scene, where Nya had gone against Jay, broke me 😭. Especially when she says:

Nya: I will always love you.

And Jay hit her with the: And I will ALWAYS. Hate you.

Hate is a powerful word man. 😭😭😭

Now here. We can really see the difference between Arin in the beginning, and Arin now. At the beginning, he was just this fan boy who loved the ninja, but now...He's going down the wrong path, and not he himself knows it. It could be argued that Ras WILL help him find his parents as he has already been betrayed now and they have a common enemy. BUT, Ras could be playing him. 🤷‍♀️ Itslike....History is repeating itself. First it was Master Wu with Morro, and now, Lloyd with Arin. Anyhow, I think I know what his path may lead to....and it's not gonna be good.

😭😭😭

THE COMEBACK- Lloyd: How'd you learn spinjitzu?!

Arin: Not from YOU.

And to add on to Ras and Arin's relationship, (which is sure to be growing), when Arin's friend was helping him train, he learned FULL spinjitzu, which he really doubted himself on. This is then to be revealed that it was Ras's training. And, Ras was telling the truth about EVERYTHING, so Arin has believed him, whether it be a trap or not. And there was evidence on his truth as revealed later. Master Wu caused the Merge, for an unknown reason, so we can't really blame Arin for his trust to decrease with the ninja, and increase with Ras.

ESPECIALLY since things always keep getting in the way. Arin REALLY wants to find his parents, and Lloyd promised him that. But now, evrrytime he wants to go to find his parents, something pops up. In this case, the tournament of the sources. Lloyd then promised they would search for his parents afterwards, but now, they need to find Jay.

And Arin has noticed the pattern. 👀

The ending was really a cliffhanger as Arin went to save Ras from the clutches of the Forbidden Five. However, it seems he has saved him, and is now in a foreign land, around the campfire with an injured Ras. Arin then says: "I will help you get better. Then I'm gonna get you to find my parents."

So now, Ras will be indebted to him, so he will have to find his parents. However, in my opinion, Ras did say that Agent Waller, a.k.a, Jay, does know where Arin's parents are also, and whatever Jay knows, Ras knows. So I'm thinking, 🤔 that when the ninja find Jay, they might be able to find where Arin's parents are and meet in the same place. BUT, (I know...there's always a but) Jay did Shatterspin, which is known to shatter the goodness within you. SO, Jay has lost his memories and his goodness is gone. So, a huge obstacle will lie ahead.

Just like Ras said. "Knowledge is power. But Knowledge is poison."

I can't wait for Season 3, coming next year. And here is where you can find to watch it.

EDIT: IM SO SORRY- BUT THE UPLOADER HAS REMOVED THE VIDEO!!

I hope you guys don't cheat and skip to this!! Be fair and watch the full series, including the Pilot, The day of the departed and the movie 😠😠.

And also! Feel free to discuss your own theories and tell me what you think! :)
