I Admit I'm Not The Best At EYEBROWS. I Messed Up Kai's A Lot In That One Comic. Mainly Because I Didn't

Zane's detective LARPing in prime empire has the same vibe as crude generative ai, in that he's cramming in a ton of material to achieve a likeness to fictional detectives without taking into account how the specifics of the situation may render his emulation unwarranted and seemingly surface level.

Humans and more sophisticated ai models are a lot more shrewd when it comes to processing and selecting data for particular insights.

Do you think Zane learns like a human or like an ai?

To draw a human face, a human has to learn the proportions and proper usage of the drawing tools or materials, and even then it usually ends up somewhat stylised. An ai only has to look at many many images so it can produce a new image that most closely represents the references. A human cannot do that.

Maybe he has a mixture of both, maybe he can fluctuate between the two, I can't decide.

I do, however, like to imagine that if he did learn like an ai, he'd still go through the steps a human needs because they bring him comfort. Even though he can produce near-perfect results, he still makes himself go through the trial and error of human learning, he purposefully gets stuff wrong so he can feel improvement.

It can't be fun to be perfect, right?

Let me introduce you to... a typical Ninjago season :

Lloyd gets kidnapped at least once

Cole adopts some traumatized kids / creatures he found in a forgotten, lonely place

Jay becomes the leader of a cult or something

Zane "dies" for the 182737492th time

Nya kicks something (or someone)

Kai runs straight into the danger powered with raw confidence and survives only by pure luck

New outfits for everyone

The animation had another glow up

Jay and Cole are paired for a mission but they have the worst influence on each other's dumbness and mess up so bad you wonder why they're still allowed to work together

Kai tries to show off but miserably fails

Lloyd thinks he's Steven Universe and tries to redeem a villain

Jay spends 99% of his screentime uncontrollably yelling

Wu reveals crazy family lore he was hiding since forever

Kai gets rejected by Skylor

Cole wants cake. Now.

Lloyd gets more daddy issues than he already had (you didn't know it was even possible)

Star Wars reference

Wth is Garmadon doing this time ?

Nya is constantly on the verge of committing murder

Kai bullies Jay

Pixal somehow manages to stay calm

Lloyd is still in his angsty teenage era except he's now a grown adult

Zane is silly, the worst things possible happen to him, then he's silly again

There's another plot hole but the lore is so crazy already no one is gonna care

Shout out to Ninjago City citizen still living here knowing their lives are in constant danger every single second they stay in this place

Nya and Jay keeps being the only healthy stable romance in the whole show

Dareth unexpectedly ends up being useful

Lloyd do the thing with his eyes when it's getting serious (you instantly start screaming)

Kai says "fiyah"

"Yep so I saw [a main character] falling of a rock so they're definitely dead." "But maybe they..." - "NOPE. THEY'RE DEAD" - "aww ok" (they are, in fact, alive)

The team yells "ninja, go !" at least once

Characters are listening to music. It's The Weekend Whip by The Fold.

Why does someone has to stay behind and why is it Zane.

"You know I'm very old I'm gonna die soon" has said Wu every single day of the past 100 years of his life

Nya builds crazy vehicles again

This is a found family trope and they want you to know it

You spotted a pride flag in the background of a 0.5 seconds action scene and you already know the homophobic fans are going to lose their minds over it again

Snakes. Snakes everywhere.

A villain has the most brutal death on screen and you wonder how th this got approved for a kid show, until the show itself makes a joke about it

"Gasp ! Are we... Gonna lose our powers ???" (no they won't)

Jay's parents are in danger

Crazy plot twist happens and you suddenly realize it's been foreshadowed every single season in the previous 10 seasons but you never paid attention to it until now

Something that happened in a previous season gets referenced and you nostalgia cry about it for a whole episode

"Omg, was that the last and final season of Ninjago ???" (no it wasn't, nothing can end this show, we'll all die way before it does, now get ready for the next arc because it's probably gonna last ten more years)

nunchucks of lightning vs the storm amulet.

i dont even have anything to add. this speaks for itself.

academic bias is so funny because you’ll be reading about the same historical event and one person is like “Despite the troubles that befell his homeland and near constant criticism of the court King Blorbo remained strong in the face of adversity” and the other one is like “after letting his people carry the brunt of his cringefail decisions Blorbo the Shitface refused to listen to any reason and continued to be a warmongering piece of shit. Also he was ugly.”

Kai's voice actor has pipes

Also, not very important but among the ninjas who has the best singing voice?

Jesse

Sorry people, gotta go with Kai (Lloyd, bizarrely, is a close second cuz of the dishes song. Then Jay and Zane cuz of that one short)

WYLDFYRE NO!!!! OUR AGE RATING!!!!!

The universe gave me a sign today

The Explorer's Club is one of the funniest episodes because it's basically a session of DnD where Nya decides she's Done Roleplaying 5 minutes in.

True Sight

if they don't give me THAT bruise card, I'll make myself THAT card.

yep, this is another thing that has kept me busy for a while, and now it's FINALLY finished mygod
