happy ninjaposting friday your ninjapost is this joke titled I Loved Season Four And Have Drawn Like 3 Different Versions Of This Same Joke
Shout out to the ten primate species, four bat species, elephant shrews, and the Cairo spiny mouse. Nobody else gets it
figured out what to do about nya for the ghost swap
Ronin: - appears to be a roughed up, but humble shopkeeper somewhere in ninjago. wont take kindly to thieves and has quite a bit of combat experience. - not quite as terrible as in canon, but he does have the occasional dubious tactic for upping sales numbers, knows little scruple in that field sometimes - changes the story abotu his injured eye every time someone asks him. - takes Bansha in after she asks for work (a bit of a retcon from post 1 but bear with me) and more or less becomes her sole guardian for the time. teaches her all he knows about self defense - becomes samurai x some time after bansha saves him from the skulkin and leaves to train her newlyfound powers in the monastery. claims he does so because he doesnt trust the fate of the world to be handled by some kids, but he also worries about bansha, knowing she bites off more than she can chew quite often. - his identity is revealed to bansha first, but officially ot the rest of the group roughly by season 2. he stays for the final battle but then goes off to do his thing until season 5 - much like nya, ronin is revealed to be the master of water, and receives training from Master Preeminent while the rest of the group try to figure out how to save Morro. hes good at fighting, but kind of sucks because hes only ever learned to rely on what he thought he was capable of, not these new powers. also claims hes too old to learn new ways to fight, even if the water elemental is crucial to their victory
Nya: - rough-and-tumble girl of mysterious origins, often seen wandering around in towns. lately seems to have settled in Stiix. - uses the fact that she is underestimated a lot to her favor. will befriend people only if it benefits her, and conceals that fact pretty well. is closer in personality to canon ronin than this ronin lmao - used to travel around with her brother Kai after the disappearance of their parents. whilst trying to find them - and keeping him and his little sister alive - kai made a deal for his soul, in exchange for a foolproof way to locate their parents. - the two of them made the trip, which dragged on from weeks to months. frustrated, stressed and malnourished, kai slowly lost his mind. behind nyas back, he sold off her soul aswell to make the journey end as soon as possible. - just after a fight in which kai admitted he had no idea if they are ever going to find their parents, the two of them are ambushed - kai is killed and nya severly injured. she manages to survive, miraculously, and is nursed back to health in a hospital. - the mech arm is a construction of her own; she is just as mechanically gifted as her canon counterpart, likely as a result of travelling so much and needing to steal and fix up cars or bikes. - post-mortem, the cursed soul of kai and the other ghosts commune with her, some of them taunting her, some blaming her for her situation. it worsens her mental state further, but kai at the very least can instruct her on how to make it alone. shes long given up finding her parents at this point and lives as a vagabond, stealing, gambling and making enemies at every turn. all she wants now is to free herself of the curse, which the ghosts promise they can do, if she in turn helps with disrupting the ninjas plans to save their realm - her backstory left her with severe issues regarding trust, but she comes around to bonding with ronin while hes in training
i keep having to retype :(
anyway ive been calling it monsters au generally because! almost no one is human!
it starts with kai (angel-type) being separated from his chorus/slaughter and captured to be brought to market as a rare specimen.
morro is a harpy who's been hunting crime in oni country lately and destroys the market kai's being held at (among other flammable things)
lloyd is a baby hybrid (himself a child of two hybrids) who snuck into the market while looking for a friend and gets caught up in kai's situation
Since the live action Ninjago movie is confirmed, here are some of my crack predictions
They DC-ify all the Gi's (think the animated movie but x10)
They retcon half the lore
Lloyd is played by a 25+ year old actor
Dareth is there, but he's serious and played by Chris Pratt
Cole is purely token big, strong dude of the group™️ and isn't a sweet cinnamon roll
Kai's actor is blond (that'd be so funny. It'd be like how Miles Morales's Peter Parker was blond)
Zane is a human
#I'm not like other girls Nya
Jay's actor is 6ft
Wu is played by Jackie Chan (cool) or by Danny DeVito (cursed)
Garmadon is either a giant hulking mess of CGI or just some guy dressed in black with red eyes and the occasional black, purple shadow
No Serpentine (boooo!!)
FSM flashback, but it shows his face, so it's just WRONG
Fugidove cameo for shits and giggles
Cole doesn't get a giant scythe (cowards)
Kai flirts with a bad guy as a distraction
"Ninja never quit" *cue dramatic boss music*
The Weekend Whip starts playing on someone's phone/on the radio
Nya hardly gets any screen time
No dragons (also a booooo!!)
Lloyd's eyes glow red during an intense fight
No spinjitzu tornadoes (I'd classify that as a crime)
Kai's hair is straight and lifeless, with not a single spike insight
There's something Wu hasn't told them yet
Morro reference for the people in the back
They get one F-bomb (please, oh please, it be SO FUNNY!!!😩)
