My special interest, Ninjago!
So this thread doesn't really have a purpose, it's entirely self-indulgent and will be filled with either gifs or pictures and (if anyone actually cares) will be filled with spoilers for the show, and movie too I guess? Meh, I really want to talk about this dumb LEGO show and I'm going to 😛
(awww yeah!)
I should talk about the characters first, because without these dorks, the show would probably be very boring. I'll limit myself to one image per character though, because otherwise this post would go on forever 😛 Also please don't ask me who my favourite is because I love them all (also it's Zane but he's barely a hair in front of the others)
Without further ado!
This guy ^ is Master (or Sensei, depending what season of the show you're watching) Wu. He's the teacher of the ninja and helps them on their journey and keeps secrets from them to "protect" them. He's alright. He can be ridiculously cryptic and is somehow more powerful than he lets on but all in all, he's a pretty cool dude. He does have a beyond silly voice in the pre-season episodes but it gets better.
This guy is Cole, the Black Ninja or Master of Earth! He's the leader of the ninja and he's amazing. He's just, great okay? What more do you need to know? Cole is amazing. I'm really bad at describing things. He's great, a great person, a great ninja. He wields a scythe and in the movie uses sound as a weapon (because sound is earth now? Who knows what the movie was thinking). He's the calm leader, the rock (absolutely a pun) who holds everyone together. A very kind ninja. Wonderful.
In the movie redesigns, he wields a hammer instead of a scythe but that's all that changes.
Next up is fire boy, Kai, he's the main one, right? (no, he's not :P) He's the Red Ninja and the Master of Fire and he's the hot headed, best big brother and great ninja. His weapon of choice, a sword. He is a blacksmith like his parents although his skills sure need some work. He's definitely overprotective of his sister Nya and adopted sibling Lloyd and he's wonderful, he hates water although I'm pretty sure he walked in the ocean during the first season so I guess the writers forgot that? and he's a dork.
In the movie designs, he still uses swords. Never change Kai 😛
Ah yes, this is Jay, the Blue Ninja and Master of Lightning! You can't see it from this great image but he has a notch in in eyebrow (that the movie got rid of, cowards) and he is an inventor! He is from a junkyard and has two lovely parents named Ed and Edna (they're great) and is very much a blabber mouth. He uses nunchucks as his primary weapon and he is the biggest dork and gets screamy sometimes but he's wonderful. Plus he has a huge crush on Kai's sister, which makes for some fun with the characters.
This nerd uses a bladed flail in the movie, a bit like nunchucks but one end is sharp.
A beautiful soul, this guy is Zane, the White Ninja and Master of Ice. First spoiler of this post: he's a robot or Nindroid. And he's wonderful. He's calm (most of the time), cool (definitely a pun) and very smart. He's also a bit weird, which is probably why he's my favourite character (by a hair). His weapons are shurikens. I love him a lot. His theme is also one of my favourite pieces from the soundtrack. Plus he has a falcon buddy who acts as a guide for the ninja and I am all for animal buddies!
In the movie redesigns, he uses a bow and arrow but he still has his shurikens.
And this little guy is Lloyd! Yes, he is one of the ninja but I'm not telling you which 😛 He's a bit evil and naughty at the start and it takes him time but he eventually warms up to the rest of the ninja. His weapons are his power and swords, just like his adopted older brother Kai! (Not literally adopted, but basically is). He's smart and brave and turns out to be quite the leader too. Not to mention wise as well.
His movie version changes a lot, giving him coloured eyes and thick (can you call it thick?) hair. Weapons don't change much though 😛
And here is the only girl, Nya! (Don't worry, more girls show up but they really could use some more). She's not quite a ninja yet but maybe in the future... Anyway, she's wonderful. She is Kai (the red one)'s younger sister who gets kidnapped to "awake Kai's fire" but really if it was the other way around she still would've kicked butt. She really smart and builds tons of things, a bit like Jay but more secretly. Although she is the love interest of Jay (he was the blue one), she does so much more than just be a love interest.
Her movie redesigns changes her a lot too. And gives her a spear! Plus sais I think.
I think I should stop here for now... I can feel the forums giving me the evil-eye. Who knows if this will even post! Fingers (or claws ;)) crossed, right?
I'll update this thread soon I swear, but for now I thought I would share something very (not really) important!
I decided to change my profile image from awkward but adorable Jay:
To this dork Kai 😛
That is all 😄
@N1ghtW1ng I have a short story to share with you!
So the other day I was meeting someone for coffee and was way early and thought "hey let's walk around Kmart" (I love Kmart!). So I wanted to explore very aisle and came across the lego section.
I finally saw all the ninjago sets you speak of! There was an entire section of just ninjago- vehicles and all sorts of things! I think you would have been very happy with Kmart's selection
@Jess1-RO @N1ghtW1ng I really should finish making one of those Ninjago sets! My sister, uncle and I started constructing a big one together a few years ago, but we didn't get around to finishing it. I think it's still in my room. They're so fun to make as a group!
@N1ghtW1ng I'm watching the new episodes of Ninjago right now! My sister is in hospital and told me that they were on Cartoon Network, so I tuned in too. It's kind of hard for me to understand what's going on because we missed some of the more recent episodes during her illness, so I'm trying to look up recaps at the same time.
IT'S THE MONASTERY!!!
Look at these boys! 😄 (with a sneaky skeleton in the background :P)
Black ninja in hiding 😉 And the water ninja in extra hiding 😄
It's all of them together!
Jay's guarding the door 😉
Whoa @N1ghtW1ng that is AMAZING!!! How long did it take you to build, it looks so complex! I especially love those awesome round front gates!
It looks awesome, doesn't it @DruidChild 😄 😄 😄 I wish I had some place to display it, at the moment it keeps moving from my desk to my bed 😛
It took me at least a full day, but I did it over two. (my shoulder decided it hated the fine motor movements but LEGO cannot be stopped! :D)
I recently got the LEGO set of this ship:
And can't wait to start building it!
I also want this guy:
(ultra dragon)
He'll be so freaking epic! 😄 😄 😄
I'll definitely share pictures when I build them! The last one I reallly want (well actually there's two I really want) are these dragons:
(this little cutie)
(and this big boy!)
But there are definitely lots of pieces! I've actually run out of room to display all my sets 😛 I've wanted to take them apart for awhile now (so I can rebuild them!) but I haven't yet. I need to get an awesome shelves or something that I can display them all on.
I've done maybe... 4 or so Avengers sets, a couple of Batman themed sets and *drum roll* 12 Ninjago sets! (add two for when I finally build them :P)
The TV show is one of my FAVOURITE cartoons ever!
Thanks for sharing with us @N1ghtW1ng! I think it's really cool how Cole uses sound as a weapon, that's an idea I hadn't heard of before in fantasy type things! How many episodes/movies are there so far?
The order is seven seasons, the movie(which had different storyline and designs) and two more seasons with their new designs but the tv show storyline. Season 9 isn't out yet but the first episode airs this weekend if I can figure out which channel 😛
Also remind me later to talk all about the seasons, the villains and anything else really! I want to tonight but... not tonight.
