Welcome back to the first season of Ninjago: Rise of the Snakes. So excited to point out even more sins in these half hour episodes. Just a reminder, I do love Ninjago, this is just for fun.
I'll be doing something different in these chapters. If you review a sin of your own for another episode or the same episode, I will post your name and sin for that scene. If you do it for the episode I'm currently doing at the time, I'll make another chapter just for those or re-edit the chapter to work yours in. LucyBrick123 has done this for her sins on Rebooted and SafiraBluez has done season one as well.
Disclaimer: I don't own Ninjago
*Sensei Wu: Long before time had a name, Ninjago was created using the four weapons of Spinjitzu.*
Previously on Ninjago. +1
*Same scene.*
Also, narration. +1
*Ninjago's theme song and opening start after Sensei Wu is done talking.*
The creators got big egos after the pilot episodes that they thought this show needed an Title Opening. Which it does, but still. +1
*The main characters each get screen time for their names.*
Just in case you forgot their names which no one did. +1
*Cole's character intro.*
Why is Cole not smiling? This seriously bugs me and I can't be the only one, right? I get he's the leader and sometimes has to be serious, but damn. He looks scary. +1
*Sensei tries to meditate while the ninjas make kung fu sounds.*
The ninjas are dicks to Sensei. +1
*Kai yells "fire strike" and Sensei Wu perks his head up.
You're only now going to go check on them? "Well one of my students finally said real words instead of gibberish. Better go check on them now." +1
*Sensei Wu gets up and goes to the door to check on the ninjas.*
I bet after so long, we finally get to see the ninjas train like crazy.
*Sensei opens the door to see no one training.*
Never mind. +1
*Sensei opens the doors to see the ninjas eating pizza and playing video games.*
SafiraBluez: Let's see here. Four teenage boys, each has a color scheme, playing video games and eating pizza. Well these guys just turned into discount Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, didn't they? +1
*Ninjas videogame reveals to be shots from the pilot episodes in America.*
So why does America get this and other countries get gameplay from the actual Ninjago videogame? +1
*Sensei unplugs the ninjas videogame.*
Sensei is a dick to his students. +1
*Jay: Yeah, peace is boring. There's no one to save. There's nothing to do.*
Then I don't want to hear any of you whine when your fighting here again pretty soon. +1
*Cole: We can train tomorrow.*
Kai's voice in Cole's body. +1
*Sensei Wu: No pizza for you!*
Denied! +1
*Same scene.*
Sensei is a dick to his students for a second time. +1
*Sensei: You four have merely scratched the surface of your full potential. There are still so many secrets you have yet to unlock. You haven't even begun to tap into what powers your golden weapons can unlock.*
You're just now telling them this? If you had said something after they got the weapons back, they'd probably be training now. +1
*Cole plugs the game back in and they all start playing again.*
They're still able to be in the same spot they were when it first got unplugged. +1
*Same Scene*
Destiny Willowleaf: Wait, since when could a scythe do that? And somehow perfectly align the plug in there AND it doesn't fall when you initially put it in there? +1
*Nya: Guys! Lord Garmadon! He's returned!*
Oh by the way, Nya lives with the ninjas now. We never did find out when our why until they released those mini movies on the internet. +1
*The ninjas all scramble to get their weapons and dragons ready.*
Sigh. +1
*The ninjas get on their dragons wearing their DX Suits.*
AwesomeAuthor13: Where do their dragon suits come from? +1
We never did get an explanation for that, did we? +1
*Dragons fly out of their 'nests' and take to the skies.*
This dragon keep wasn't here before was it? The ninjas must've built this when they all moved in with their dragons. By this I'm saying it must've taken some to build, right. That had to be hard work to do, or in other words train. So why is Sensei up on them about training when they had to build this first? +1
*Cole: Just like old times, eh Rocky?*
You mean when you were afraid of him? Oh yeah, just like old times. +1
*Jay: Ever since we got these weapons it's not like we've had to use them. I wonder what they do?*
Maybe if you trainned, you'd find out. +1
*Cole flips in the air while talking about battling Lord Garmadon.*
Cole was somehow able to land in the same spot after jumping in the air because physics. +1
*The ninjas race on their dragons to the village.*
Why is Rocky's head different from the other dragons? +1
*The dragons crash into the mountain side and the ninjas argue about who was first.*
Did the-The dragons they-The dragons crash landed on the mountain and the ninjas are yelling 'I was first' instead of checking on them. The guys are dicks to their pets. +1
Destiny Willowleaf: So Jamanakai Village is somewhat important, but really? This random little village is high on the saving priorities list. +1
*Garmadon's shadow appears on the walls.*
Misleading shadow is misleading. +1
*Lloyd Garmadon: It is I! Lloyd Garmadon!*
"Female actress voicing a boy" cliché. +1
*Cole: It's his son.*
What in the absolute f*ck!? That evil lord of darkness had a son!? When and where and how and why and what!? Someone actually had a child with Garmadon? Who is this woman and where is she now? I bet after his birth, she left them both. +1
*Same scene.*
Also, how does Cole know that? Is he just guessing or did Sensei Wu tell them all he has a nephew. +1
*Lloyd: Give me your candy! Or I'll release the Serpentine on you.*
Foreshadowing. +1
*Villagers throw garbage at Lloyd.*
Take notes, kids. If someone threatens you, no matter what age, it's alway good to throw garbage at them. +1
*Lloyd: I asked for candy! Not vegetables!*
"Child hating vegetables" cliché. +1
*Kai: The Serpentine? Real? We're talking about an ancient race of snake people who once ruled Ninjago.*
Says the ninja who rode a dragon here and has fought undead warriors. +1
*Cole if there was anything I hated more than dragons, it was snakes.*
I guess Cole just hates all reptiles. +1
*The ninjas hang Lloyd up on a sign by his cape while everyone laughs at him.*
The ninjas just hang this boy by his cape and get a good laugh at him. The ninjas are dicks to Lloyd. +1
*Zane gives a woman one coin for all her candy.*
How much does just one piece of candy cost!? +1
*Kai: Crime doesn't pay muchacho. You can take that to the bank.*
So I guess in the World of Ninjago, based on a modern Japanese setting, the people have heard of Spanish. Which I'm fine with, but wouldn't have been better if Kai said something in Japanese or Chinese? +1
*Zane: That's Sensei's bag. You must've accidentlly took it in the rush.*
I can buy the fact that could happen, but I can buy the fact that the ninjas need bags for missions. They have their golden weapons strapped to their backs or in pockets. +1
*Kai: It's a scroll, windbag.*
Cole's voice in Kai's body. +1
*Same scene.*
Kai/Cole is a dick to Jay. +1
*Jay: I know it's a scroll, but what does it say? It's written in 'Chicken Scracth.'*
That's racist. +1
*Kai: It means it tells the future.*
Cole's voice in Kai's body again. +1
*Zane: One ninja will rise above the others and become the Green Ninja.*
Zane, who said he could try to read the language, is able to translate full sentences for everyone. He stumbled through it, however, which makes it believeable, but wouldn't it have been better if he couldn't make out a few words? +1
*Jay: Ooh, look, a picture.*
Jay, like myself, enjoys reading if there are pictures involved. +1
*"Cole": Dark Lord? Hold on. You think they mean Lord Garmadon?*
Cole is no where in the previous shots, so it's just the other three looking at the scroll. Cole's voice in Kai, Jay, or Zane's body. +1
*The three ninjas begin to argue on who the Green Ninja might be.*
Well after this scene, the Ninjago fanbase began to argue on who the Green Ninja might be while I just sat back and laughed. +1
*Cole: Yeah. I gotta work on some new moves.*
Kai's voice in Cole's body for a third f*cking time! +1
*Kai: Could I be the Green Ninja.*
Nope. +1
*Lloyd grumbling about the ninjas while walking in the snow on a mountain.*
Uhm...no. Hypothermia. Lloyd's dead. +1
*Lloyd opens the entrance doors and falls to the ground below.*
Uhm...no. Lloyd has broken bones now. +1
*Slithraa tries to hypnotize Lloyd.*
Slithraa makes the same sound Aquaman does when trying to find fish. +1
*Same scene.*
Instead of eating this kid, Slithraa decides to show the audience what he can do. +1
*Slithraa hypnotizes himself.*
Sigh. +1
*Slithraa: What shall you have us do, master.-Lloyd: Us?*
Slithraa plays the pronoun game just so the entire Hypnobrai tribe can have this dramatic entrance. +1
*The ninjas open the dojo doors to reveal Nya doing the training course.*
All the Nya fans just blogged that she will be the Green Ninja while I just sat back and laughed. +1
*Nya: I heard what happened in town. Just a false alarm?*
How exactly did she here this? They don't have the internet in Ninjago, do they? +1
*Cole: Ninja-G- Ahh!*
Kai and Jay start fighting before Cole is away from them. Kai and Jay are dicks to Cole. +1
*Cole and Zane start their fight.*
Cole and Zane are my favorite ninjas and watching them fight was just a dream come true of mine. So uh...no sin here, just wanted to point that out.
*Zane throws one shuriken and it lands under Cole's foot. Zane pulls out his last shuriken and runs to Cole.*
In this scene, we see the shuriken freeze Cole's bottom half. In the next scene after, we see Zane throwing both his shurikens at Cole. Lasy animators are lazy. +1
*Cole knocks Kai down and the other ninjas cheer.*
Now seeing my favorite ninja beat my least favorite ninja in the show. I'm gonna have to remove a sin for that. -1
*Nya is back at the village while it's under attack by the Serpentine and Lloyd.*
"Nya's in some kinda danger" cliché. +1
*Sensei: The Spirit Smoke does not lie. An ancient evil has been released!*
Spirit Smoke? It doesn't show you the dead, it shows you what's happening or going to happen. They should've called it the "What's Happening Right Now or Will Happen" Smoke. +1
*Lloyd: I'm never coming down from this sugar high!*
Hard to believe what this kid becomes, isn't it? +1
*Nya: When you hear them rattle their tails, don't look them in the eye.*
Um...Only one of them has a tail, right? I'm not missing something, am I? +1
*Nya: The one with the staff is in charge. He's the general. If we can get the staff it holds the anti-venom.*
How do you know this? Where they discussing this outlouad near you? "Make sure no one gets my staff. It holds the anti-venom to cure the hypnosis." +1
*Kai spins into a wall.*
Sigh. +1
*Nya: Quick the fountain!*
How is the fountain going to reverse the effects of the Hypnobrai? Sure, if you pour it into the water and make everyone drink it, but Cole just sticks it in there. +1
*Same scene.*
Also, Nya knows how to use the staff, apparently. +1
*A blue mist escapes from the staff and cures the villagers.*
Convenient plot device is convenient. +1
*Kai apologizes to Sensei Wu.*
Where did he come from? +1
*Sensei: Patience, Nya. Your time will come.*
The Nya fans just went crazy by saying, "Nya is the Green Ninja", while I just sat back and laugh. +1
*Mezmo: We all know he's under Lloyd's spell. You are second in command and still you do nothing!?*
Why does Skales have to do something. You all could just over power the both of them and kick them out. +1
*Skales looks through Cole's eyes.*
I get that the Hypnobrai can hypnotize people, but they can also look through the eyes of people they tried to hypnotize? +1
SIN TOTAL: 74
Sentence: None of you will be the Green Ninja! (Unless you unlock your full potential.)
