My Biggest Hear Me Out Will Forever Be Kai From Ninjago

Kai after he gets home, looking in the mirror and just. Practicing.

His smile. His laugh. His quips. Practicing how to seem like himself so Lloyd doesn’t worry.

WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT this is the best thing ever

Monstrosity trailer analysis part 2! Part 1 <

The environment (+ a theory on what the monsters are)

This is the topic I've been wanting to discuss for the longest time. The environment and the ecosystem in general. To start, it just feels so alive. Everything from the flora to the terrain feels eerie in such a good way that I paused the trailer and clapped. It's gorgeous, and it feels like the place looks back at you when you look at it. The use of empty space and hidden context is also ingenious. You see bridges and landmarks and carvings, and you just know someone or some people were here before Kai. Maybe the human inhabitants of the realm? Or the ones living in the homelands the guardian dragon was talking about? What really happened to them then? The forests are so empty and filled with greenery that it makes it feel untouched. A place where no human should be let alone live in. Poor Kai, I hope he has fun.

Another thing I like is that there are different landforms. From plains to forests to hills to mountains, it's like we were put in Kai's shoes with the sheer scale of it all. Each area has their own specific monster/s to that region, and it makes the idea of the realm being unfamiliar really tangible. It makes you think and theorize what the food chain is or if there even is one. Are some of the inhabitants herbivores? Or are they all carnivores? Maybe omnivores? Are they all organic? Maybe some have different skin? Are there supernatural elements? What if some are capable of speech or sentience? There are just so many things to pick apart and analyze that you can't really help but rewatch the trailer every five minutes while it's on the lowest speed just so that you can catch every detail. Or is that just me. Please dont say it's just me.

One thing that i find kinda funny is that there are also bodies of water. Like, legit large spaces of sea and river. From oceans to lakes to just flooded plateaus (I don't know the term, sorry), there was even a shot where Kai was just in front of a sea full of broken shipwrecks. It makes you think if a water-based realm was merged inside of it or! This is a theory! If the realm of monsters is a parasite realm. A realm that infects others and therefore grows bigger with each new land consumed. A theory I saw on here was that each monster was an elemental master consumed, and that's what the centipede mural is for. What if the rom (realm of monsters) was just a regular realm before its elemental masters got hit with a curse of some sort? Maybe that's why the guardian dragon is pissed. What if the monsters need elemental energy to survive? That's why there are SO many of them that are huge? What if they fed on the guardian dragons? What if that's why they're extinct?

Maybe that's why they're so hostile. They can sense Kai is an elemental master and one of the elements of creation as well. It's why the mech and dragon want to help him. They won't let another master become that.

The merge also caused a giant surge in elemental energy, so another reason why they are so many of them. Maybe they procreated using that energy.

Ooooooo I can't wait for this. I'm definitely checking if I'm right when monstrosity comes out.

made this cuz why not

S5 possession has a fan favorite scene where Kai gets over his fear of water to save Lloyd. But what if the waters were more violent at that specific time? Or if Kai had just been a bit more afraid? What would happen if he had let go of Lloyd?

No, the voices are not "violent." The voices are my twitch chat

PERFECT YES PERFECT CORRECT LOUD DEAFENING CORRECT BUZZER

"you can't survive in a land of monsters without becoming a monster yourself" paired with the horn imagery from the notches in his hat...

The Ninjago monstrosity trailer looks insane but my only hope is that they give us Kai looking like a sopping wet cat

I want that man to look miserable

I am totally very patient and won't terrorize a small village if this miracle doesn't happen in the next 2-3 days

Reblog for a miracle to happen tonight
