Wow. It's been a long time since I even touched this thing but unlike the previous 'chapters', there's no rant here, just want to let out my opinions of the Ninjago Movie. As always, this is NOT an attempt to convert anyone. Okay, let's get started.
It's been a while since the Ninjago trailer was first released & I have to say when I first saw it, I was intrigued & felt a little iffy at the same time.
Remember when the plot was revealed that the ninjas will be high school students? The fandom wasn't too thrilled & I actually wasn't really happy either but then again, we still knew very little about the movie so I thought, 'Sure it may sound like one of those crappy school AU fics but who knows? Maybe they'll find a way to work around it so it won't take too much away from the plot.' As disappointed as I was, I didn't want to jump to conclusions with so little info & wait until more of it was released.
Now, the trailer's out and we know it's not related to the TV canon & I was pleasantly surprised & glad that I waited. My greatest fear was the school clichés overshadowing everything else but I'm actually happy that I was wrong.
As for it being iffy, I had mixed feelings about the movie not being related to the show but looking at its quality now, I think an AU will actually be refreshing & I'm actually looking forward to seeing what the movie!ninjas will be like. I was aware that since it's not the same as the TV show, a different voice cast was likely but I still wasn't sure about the changes & when I saw the movie!ninjas for the first time, I felt that their looks were off but they've since started to grow on me & the voices I've heard so far aren't too bad. Difference is not always a bad thing & sometimes, it's better. Jillian Michaels' voice for Lloyd is iconic but I actually like Dave Franco's voice for Lloyd. At least he now sounds his age. XD
Now, I only hope Lloyd won't completely overshadow the other ninjas like he does in the show but for now, we'll have to wait & see.
So yeah. I'm actually looking forward to the movie & even if I saw it already, I was thrilled to see it in theaters today when I saw the Lego Batman Movie (It was awesome!). You're also free to share your opinions about the movie & to keep with the rules, here's a drabble.
Ever since Pixal claimed he and Nya were compatible, Cole couldn't stop thinking about her & even now, in the middle of the night when everyone else was asleep, was no exception.
Sure, she was a nice and beautiful to boot but she and Jay were an item… but they have been growing distant as of late.
Does he really have a chance with her?
'She's such an amazing young woman… She's got beauty, brains, and brawn… I do like her but I never thought I'd like her that way…'
Cole sat up and out of intuition, started to express his feelings through song.
"I've had time to- "
"Shut up! This is not a musical!" Lloyd yelled and banged the wall from his adjacent room.
…And Cole went back to bed with a sigh.
