Part 7! Thanks to everyone who submitted Ninjago hot takes!! 🔥

Hot take: Unagami isn't exactly a villain but more like a confuse child

Hot take: We need more backstory on Jay's family.

Hot take: Ninjago should return to the darker theme of season 8 as that is arguably one of Ninjagos best seasons

Hot Take: The Tournament Of Elements was easily the best season. A very funny interesting villian who plays a good role in the storyline, introduced some very good side characters, and although Garmadon's Sacrafice could've been avoided, it was still a very good ending too the season and it also introduced Possession's Villian plus story line as a whole

Not gonna lie, Zane was the most Green Ninja out of all of them. He tried to turn anything into a teaching moment ( i.e.; when the monastery burns down ) and he was shown to be a pretty above average ninja. Also when Sensei said, " There's something special about you, Zane. " I thought it could have been him. Also he was the Ninja to defeat the Dark Lord in the end, so he technically fulfilled the prophecy by surpassing all others and defeating the Dark Lord. After all, he was the one who read the Prophecy of The Green Ninja.

March of the Oni was the *REAL* Ninjago movie

Already getting my popcorn out to see the fellow Ninjago fans start a world war 3 in the comments section.

hot take: Zane should have stayed dead for 1 or 2 seasons to cement that he is dead and when they find a way to revive him it is more impactful like what the did to Optimus in G1

I think Wildbrain has given us fantastic villains, such as Unagami, The Skull sorcerer, and Kalmaar.

Morro has a lot more of an interesting character than the Overlord but he has an interesting place in the lore.

I thought harumi and Kalmar were actually good and okay villains

Hot take: I want Zane to control water and ice, like Nya controlling them too.

I actually think Kalmaar has a very good motivation. He sees humans as invaders who took their realm away from them and took most of their kingdom away from them and forced them to hide. It makes totally Sense that he wants to destroy the humans, and in order to do so he has to kill his father and take over his kingdom. In my opinion he has one of the best motivations for a Ninjago villain

Hot takes : cole should be the orange ninja .Orange color looks nice on him and kinda also resembles lava/magma while black doesn’t really suit him ,cuz it feels odd out of the colors like green (lloyd) ,blue (jay) … ( also his rx powers are orange )

Thanks for including my hot take and you are right: I don’t see a lot of people talk about the fan service in March Of The Oni but to me it really stands out in the season and is one of its biggest strengths. I also agree that March Of The Oni gets too much of a negative reception and you know what, I agree that my issue with the season has more to do with how short it is than it being rushed.

The guy who wrote about Wu being a bad character clearly didnt watch the parts where Sensei had full regret for something that actually wasn't his fault (Garmadon being bitten), trying to rescue a literal villain who unleashed the incarnation of hell on Ninjago, only because he still saw the good in him and because he was his student. Stuff like that? Remember?

I love this series it’s honestly my favourite thing your making can’t wait to see more episodes

Hot take: pixal should get a new suit thats unfair she using her samurai x suit all the way from season 8

Loving this series😂

I hate that people only say that the new ninjago is trash and the first seasons where better because if you hate what is now ninjago why you are still here because ninjago is not going to be like it was before so if you dont like it why you even are here

I don’t like Lloyd, but before you hate me let me explain my reasonings. Number 1. I feel like Lloyd is the dominant character of about 8 of the ninjago seasons way too many for one character. And yes I know he’s the leader but come on, in every season he’s the leader, all the other ninja get reduced to almost a side character especially Kai. Kai literally used to help run the show but now he’s been reduced to the comic relief. Number 2. Every major conflict with Lloyd has some sort of scene with garmadon like when he fights the overlord dragon, or sends him to the cursed realm, or when he finds his dad in the premanant, OR season 8, 9, and 10. Seriously can Lloyd get 1 solo season without having daddy issues. Number 3. I did not like Lloyd ever becoming the green ninja because he was quite literally a trouble making, good for nothing little brat who was destined to be the green ninja because he had the first spinjitzu masters bloodline. Did no one see this coming. Like master Wu has to be the dumbest person alive if he didn’t consider a RELATIVE of the first spinjitzu master over these random teen elementals. So all together my thoughts on Lloyd is to... STOP TAKING ALL THE OTHER NINJAS SCREEN TIME. Because the seasons or episodes I actually like gives each ninja respectable screen time. Or even equal screen time. But having episodes after episodes after episodes revolving around one character is just boring and not something I like seeing. So yeah I’m done ranting.

It seems that most people here don't understand Kalmaar's motivations so I can break them down: Kalmaar was essentially right in his motivation as keeping Wojira under his control would expand Merlopia and eliminate competition with the surface. Of course, having no regard for the Merlopians themselves and the surface-dwellers is immoral but Kalmaar finds that they are only obstacles in improving Merlopia. His main hindsight was him losing control of Wojira, which would eventually destroy both the sea and the surface.

It doesn’t matter who your favorite villain is, because master Chen is better

After Harumi they’ve mostly been generic villains. We need more villains with complex motives like Harumi or Nadakhan

I kinda feel like nya destroyed dinamic between 5 ninja. It worked for season 5 and 6 but after that its really noticeable

Hot take : Rebooted is one of the best seasons but Zane being alive at the end ruined it

Hot Take: Morro is a rip-off of Tai Lung from Kung Fu Panda. Lol.

S11 in a nutshell. Brilliant ideas and concepts. Super long season, new lore, evil ninja, fire and ice parts. Potential fire v ice battle. Dogshit development and writing. Seriously, were the writers on crack while writing season 11? How the fuck, do you screw up such GOOD ideas????😐🤯

Nya and Lloyd should be sidelined more. They’re both over developed and the original four ninja deserve more consistent focus and love in the new wild brain seasons.

HOT TAKE: i think the double digit seasons correlate with the order of the single digit seasons in terms of overall theme, mostly. 9 and the pilot both were to do with dragons, 10 and later parts of one with garmadon, 11 and parts of 1 and 2 to do with serpentine and samurai warlords, 3 and 13 to do with some form of tech, 4 and 14 to do with an iland and tribal theming, 15 and 5 being the most ambitious and supernatural and possibly cinematic of them

Hot take: season 11 is not supposed to be hated for its animation, fillies episodes or even the whole fire and ice chapter thing, I hate it because the season was said to be about Kai and Zane, but Lloyd was the lead of the season.

I do wish we got more with Kalmaar's reasoning for taking over the land, like was his mom killed by "surface dwellers" and that drove him to learn about Wohira/Wojira. Nya is not dead at all, just transcended. This time around some very spicy hot takes so good picks. And yeah, I wish they had focused more on Zane's visions, like him trying to warn the Ninja and only when he's gone that the Ninja realize how they should have listened to Zane thus motivating them to stop being lazy, especially for Kai. Which is why Kai and Zane should have had the final battle in the Ice Chapter(which I plan on writing in my version of season 11)

Hot take: I think Nya’s elemental theme shifting to some weird generic aquaman style water control is weird and out of place in ninjago, especially the sea life manipulation. I think her powers make more sense as MK Rain style water elemental abilities.

I think Tommy can make a Ninjago version of the Loki TV show but the protagonist is Harumi. (Yes, a TV series about her!) If Tommy Andreasen doesn’t have any idea about how to bring her back, I suggest him to try this. (Because the question of her that she is really dead or not is quite open-ended. She could die for a moment first, and reborn because of something.)

Hot take: Season 11 is very good and underrated

awesome video! love your content

March of the Oni is my fourth favourite season, I loved the Omega. Please include this comment in part 8, PLEASE. 🙏🙏🙏

Hot take: Nadakhan Should not come back as he is overpowered.

Personally, I think Kalmaar is just a more aggressive and less merciless version of Pythor....

Season 8 was the decline of ninjago. Crappy redesigns, no airjitsu, no elemental dragons and less use of elemental powers.

Hot Take: Get rid of Master Wu. It’s not because I hate the character but it feels like he out stayed his welcome in the show. You can kill him off for good or Master Wu can just retire becoming more of a side character. Which will allow other side characters to get more development.

Hot take: I love ninjago it’s my favorite tv show ever and is better then other tv shows (I now it’s not a hot take but I don’t care)

Cole should’ve become the green ninja, he was the best ninja out of the original 4 before Lloyd came in the picture, he is the most focused and has the least worst moments. In earlier episodes where the 4 ninjas was fighting about who was gonna be the green ninja, Cole was the least needy out of all of them, he cared more about the team working together and working to better him and others. Let’s not forget he was the original leader before Lloyd came in the picture.

I hate them because kids under ages of 16 shouldn’t know hurtful words or death meaning yet. They are too young! It even affects me! And I’m 18 almost 19! And ninjago has been something special in my heart since 2011 when I believe I was ether 11 or 12

I think they should bring back some villains that never finished their story like Nadahkan, the hands of time, clouse, and iron baron.

4:20 in the point in time right now litteraly (5:56) also the reason why the bad guys turn good is because of what Wu said in season 1 "the best way to defeat an enemy is to make them your friend"

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who hates Kalmaar he literally just hates land dwellers for no reason. Pythor hated land dwellers but he had a good reason and that was that they locked them all up and killed all the Anicodrae. He was basically Pythor with a stupid motive that made no sense.

When villains become good/misunderstood......a.k.a Disney villain.

Man villains these past seasons were good and bad

Hot Take: If Chima and Nexo Knights were just Ninjago episodes with Ninjago Characters, everyone would have liked them.

Hot take: season 6 was the last great season, everything after has been trash or alright

Blazing hot take: I didn't think Zane's sacrifice was sad. It didn't impact me emotionally almost at all. Why? I knew he'd come back. It's a children's show so there was pretty much a 0% chance he'd stay dead. Sure enough he was rebuilt at the very end of the episode. I still think it's a great scene, just not in a sad way.

Hot take: If Lloyd wasnt the green ninja, Nya should have been. I think it would be interesting that the character who was overlooked (in season 1) would become the most powerful ninja. Also, it would be fun to see a little more on Kais jealousy towards her.

Hot take: the newer seasons aren’t that good and just rewrite the timeline and add random new history to it to explain nothing the original timeline which is the first spinjitsu master created ninjago then made the weapons and so on so on stop retconning things

okay Hot Take Rise of the Serpent and Seabound have exact same plot - Ancient Ninjago race wanrs to destroy thr humsn world. - The Use agiant snake that only grows stronger the more they fight it - Both monsters main weakspot is in their foreheads - One of the 4 main ninjas' ally makes a big sacrifice to stop the beast - One of the main 4 ninja's ally is the one that defeats the monster - The main antagonists gets devour by the monster If it werent for Nya's sacrifice Seabound would have been more critize as it shamlessly recycle the plot from the 1st season.

Hot take: Kai should’ve been at least the 2nd strongest ninja on your top strongest ninja list, as he was the ninja that was meant to and has the role to protect Lloyd

Hands of time is good and it is underrated also good man for liking season 4

Can you heart the comments you will use in the hot takes video

I love this vid man

Hot Take: the next season of ninjago should not focus on one of the 6 ninjas yet instead P.I.X.A.L

Hot Take- Morro didn't deserve to die. It was Wu who should have been blamed. He shouldn't have filled Morro's head with all of the stuff that he did.

I think nya should stay dead because if nya comes back it gets rid of the emotional scene if they bring nya back

can someone just help me understand why everyone loves morro? that dudes literally just some bratty child who couldnt get over the fact that he wasnt the green ninja, how does that even make him a good character? his dialogue was just straight up childish, everytime i rewatch that season his "you think youre better than me???? no one is better than me!1!111!!!!" it makes me die in cringe

after season 7 nya's water power became worse and the thing that confused me is that all the other ninja can pull their power out of nowhere but after season 7 nya cant and the others can

Hot Take: season 6 ending is bad its like nothing happend:Also why does Zane die or get taken apart every other season:(

I find them alright, but the old ones are better.

Another hot take: The lore in Ninjago is only there to establish new villains or plot devices. Because really nothing else is done with the lore.

HOT TAKE During Skybound season it is never Acknowledge that the Ninja committed genocide on 2 realms. During possesion they destroyed the Curse realm when they defeated the Eminence and killed all the ghost in that dimension, including Garmadon. With Skybound we learned that when they did that the indirectly caused the destruction of Gin-Jago as they were sister realms, thus indirectly killing all the innocent Gin within the realm.

My hot take: I don't mind season 11, I like the fire and ice elements and also I know people dislike Aspheera for being a generic bad guy but I don't mind her, mainly because she's got a cool design and powers. We need the fiery snake tail in Lego form

Make a part 8 tanner if this gets a lot of likes on the video.

Harumi is I think the best villain but unagami is the worst

Kalmaar had a little motivation. Their people lived in the sea and the fsm made Ninjago over it. He thought that they should control since they were their first.

Aspheera: Meh Vex: Ew Unagami: It's alright Skull Sorcerer: Love it Islanders: Not bad Kalamarr: Amazing

Hot take: Master Chen acts like a literal child

bro why is everyone dunking on season 7?!

Hot take: Season 7 isn’t bad. It’s not the best season, but the flashbacks and the action as well as many themes are amazing in the season.

Hot take- Heavy metal IS NOT Faith but a different thing, Samurai X and PIXAL is gone. That takes things spiralled for Zane.

My hot take wasn't picked

Yes yes yes part 7 TANNER Also I have some hot takes

On the number 10 do 20 minutes also how many oceans and what are they called in the world of ninja go

how people will react if you timetravel to 2012 an told that lloyd was the green ninja?

Hot take: Lloyd should have an evil brother and here's the story to him before Lloyd his parents had another child and they saw evil in him unlike Lloyd who was more like his mother he was like his father so they had him put in the departed realm he figures out how to get back to the over world and used his power of darkness to take over Ninjago it would give garmadon a chance to come back and it would give Lloyd more character development

Here’s my hot take: Harumi is a (?) villian Not only does she sound narcissistic as (?) she also has this stupid backstory and that’s so unoriginal in my opinion I like villains like the overlord or acronix cause they kinda just don’t have any reason why they are evil and I want to see that more commonly cause it’s actually interesting

Was hoping to see my hot take in here since it had 57 likes.😔

I have a question: : is skylore gunna come back in next seasons ??????!!!!!!! 🤨

I dunno if this is a hot take, but skybound threw just about everyone out of character and was just wasted potential just to make Jaya canon, and is thrown out the window with how season 15 ended

what is with people hating on season 7

Kalmaar is a Pythor for the newer fans

Back when i was younger the Pilots just came in Romania back then i couldn't watch it anywhere else but Cartoon Network i saw the Pilots as an enjoyable way to spend some of my free time but when Season 1 came out in my country i did not liked it at first but the more i watched the more it charmed me the reveals like Zane being an Nindroid or an "Ninjabot" how i called him back in the day since then i watched all of the seasons But after i finished Hunted i kinda left Ninjago but once seeing all the good stuff that i lost i felt bad and now i wanna reconcile with the series and watch everything i missed any suggestions

Ok probably my least favorite villain is nadakhan, by the mid to late point of the season he’s just unlikable to me. When rewatching the series I’ll typically skip to the last episode cause it’s probably the best one in my opinion, I don’t really mind season 7, I like how we finally got to know ray and maya, sure they never were that important but I’m glad we got them, the hands of time are more like a grandpa and grandson for very obvious reasons and i liked how blunk amd ragmunk were pretty much incapable of doing their only job, my favorite villain that is still a villain? Idk, my favorite villain to ever be a villain? I can’t really say, I don’t really know, first like 4 seasons it’s no doubt garmadon with the overlord in close second, Chen is in last to many fans displeasure, he’s ok, not nearly as bad as many others but villains like pythor, garmadon, overlord, etc are much better in my opinion, s5-7 no doubt morro, he’s good, nice backstory, ghost, cool power, that NO ONE IS BETTER THAN ME, PERIOD! mentality. Great villain. The oni trilogy, harumi, just saying it right now I am a harumi fan. 11-13 it’s the skull sorcerer with ice emperor in second. Kaalmar is a good black and white emperor palpatine style villain, do we know his motivation? Not really, do we still like him as a villain? Yes. Overlord for s15 cause it’s s15 there’s literally no new characters I can think of.

disappointed that my Hot Take wasn't in the video;_;

Epic!! I’m one of the first one here ;0

What happend to claus [ i think thats was his name] but you now form that iland there the evil Chen were. I mean Claus escaped the other humans [ I mean if they can't touch him they can't do anything to him but he can still run] like he is not dumb so he did clery not run in to the water. Sorry not good in Englich

:video: Every new villain sucks :me: OhhhhhhhhhHhHHHhh

I wanted zane to be the green ninja

Hot take: the sky is blue

I have a perfect hot take but I'll save that to share for next time

the ending of season 3 they could have just showed chen's island

I think Harumi was a good villain so was the Skull Sorceror the rest were meh
