I’ve seen people complaining Kai being too goofy in DR, but, honestly, after seeing the Monstrosity trailer, it makes sense.
We know Kai, he’s always trying to seem fine, tries to make sure no one’s worrying about him. He’s just been through hell and he knows his siblings have gone through it too. He’s overcompensating. He’s worried that if he tries to be serious for one moment, the facade will break.
And maybe he’s trying to fill the space of Jay for Nya.
Idk, this is just how I see it.
Sometimes tweeter people know their stuff- this is the right kind of toxic angst I want to read.
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.
You must let go of what once was
Let it go as a wave
You must leave it all to survive
You must get back
(I will draw something actually better later I don’t have good time right now sorry folks </3)
GUSYYSYSYSS I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE IM ABOUT TO COMBUST JFZLL2PCJHGIEIJRBTNMSKSJFBNDJX
If I'm going insane over a trailer I might not watch the actual series because I'll actually die. I'm not even exaggerating it's a problem
THE ORIGIBAL PIC IS SO CUTEEEE WHY ISNT THIS MORE POPULAR (rgb sibs too ofc)
Redraw from this cute pic :3333
my biggest hear me out will forever be kai from ninjago
Do you think Kai took liberties when heading to the Monastery? Do you think he stood infront of a mirror making sure he looked and acted the same before the merge happened? Do you think he cracked more jokes and laughed too hard when he was with Lloyd? Do you think he quietly mumbles the names of the people who helped him leave the realm of monsters in fear of forgetting them? Do you think the reason he talks to himself more is because its become a habit for him? Do you think he was relieved when Nya broke them out of the fear vision, and that he really was back home? Do you think he got deja vu seeing rontu and egalt? Do you think he found the nether space comforting? Do you think the reason he was so calm during everything is because he was desensitized? Do you think he's okay?
Because I don't.
Had a weird ass dream where me and my sister were rats watching the entirety of s4 happen while hiding and doing rat things. It was awesome. 10/10 will dream again
