Well, that...
That was something. (Cut 'cuz spoilers. Long. Small angry rant near the end.)
I can't really say it was bad, but, y'know, can't say it was all that fantastic either. Just doesn't feel like the "conclusion" it was promised as - which is honestly understandable, given that the new show is on its way. And, y'know, having to pack everything into only eleven minutes doesn't really grant ya much wiggle room. I feel like there'd be a much better payoff if it had more time to work with - twenty-two minutes like the Wil Film seasons, or a full TV movie.
It's definitely more satisfying than "Endings," tho, so I'll give it that.
I think I speak for everyone when I say I wish we'd gotten more of Oni Lloyd. Considering it was being hyped up as this big final ultimate form that may or may not end up rampaging across the city, destroying everything in sight as Lloyd takes out all the anger and frustrations that have been building up within him probably since this whole "destiny" nonsense was dropped on him, enacting a role reversal of the Kryptarium fight when Garmadon tries to face him only to finally understand exactly how he made his son feel back then when (despite Garm actually genuinely giving his all) Lloyd nearly kills him, has him by the throat and tells him "I have no father," while the Ninja are forced to confront the possibility that the only way to save their friend is to destroy him...
Yeah, Lloyd going full Oni for like five seconds only to immediately back out before actually doing anything was a letdown. But who knows, maybe they'll come back to it in the new series. Get on it, writers! Let our boy go crazy go stupid! Don't make this another Tornado of Creation!
Garmadon's second redemption certainly has room to grow. He's clearly trying, and I appreciate that, but I wish he'd made a more obvious effort that he was trying to reconcile with his son. I get that he can't just come right out and say it, not when he still can't quite comprehend just what "it" is, and I get that Lloyd wouldn't be able to just roll over and forgive him, not when he's probably still having nightmares about Seasons Eight through Ten and his whole original motivation from Season One is now his greatest fear... But still. I totally called that Christofern was serving as a stand-in for Lloyd when it came to Garmadon's feelings about him, but it felt like they were trying to push it from an allegory to a literal - pretty much any time Garm's ability to care was called into question, Christofern was the example given. The only arguable exception is that one scene with Nya, but even then, it's deflected onto Christofern so bluntly that's it's practically calling us stupid for thinking Garmadon's empathy could extend beyond his plant.
Again, tho, the new series still has a chance to remedy this. Sensei Garmadon could still return to us in some form. The Dragon half could still claw his way out of the Departed Realm, reunite with the Oni, and give Lloyd his real dad again. I like to imagine Garmadragon has been barreling across the multiverse screaming "HAVE YOU SEEN MY SON" for the past eight seasons, and the only reason he hasn't shown up yet is because there are a lot more than fourteen Realms out there. He could still turn up.
Look all I'm saying is Lloyd and Garmadon's Oni heritage has gotten its time in the spotlight, give the Dragons their turn. And while you're at it, acknowledge Wu's inhuman qualities for once. He's DragOni too.
Other Stuff I Don't Have As Much to Say About:
"Compatible" really doesn't hit as hard as Tommy was trying to convince us it would. IDK, maybe what with Zane dying every other weekend we're just desensitized to the whole ordeal. It was cute, tho, I certainly won't deny that.
Clutch still has Nadakhan's teapot. Is that ever gonna be relevant or
I can't believe they had Zane fight Mr. F and not reveal Mr. F as Echo. What do we gotta do to make them bring back Echo?!
Did they really think revealing the Overlord was responsible for the Devourer was some big unexpected twist? Pretty certain we all gathered that WAY back the first two seasons.
On that note, WOW was she-whose-name-we-do-not-speak-in-this-household's heel-face turn stupid. You were literally working with the dude who released the Devourer in the first place! If it was so easy for you to blame Lloyd for that, you should've been able to trace it back to the Overlord right from the start!
Yes I still despise she-whose-name-we-do-not-speak-in-this-household with every fiber of my being. Yes I still would've laughed and cheered if she had been murdered on-screen in such a brutal and violent manner that it never would've been allowed on television if they weren't Legos. Yes I still want Lloyd to go on an insane Oni-powered rampage with her as the first and only casualty. No I am not sorry and no I will never forgive her and no I will never accept her as anything other than the thing that ruined Garmadon. SHE IS NOT HIS DAUGHTER AND NEVER WILL BE AND I WOULD GLADLY REWRITE THE ENTIRE SHOW FROM SCRATCH TO PREVENT HER FROM EVER EXISTING
Can't say I was expecting the Ninja to lose their powers again (I figured they would've permanently gone full Dragon or something - another "dead without actually dying" case à la Nya turning into the ocean), but, y'know, can't say I'm too shocked by it either. Last time this happened was, what, Season Five? If anything they were overdue.
All in all, a decent end to a season and an alright end to an era, but not so much to an entire series like it's being billed as. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, and I've definitely seen worse finales (*cough cough* Star vs. the Forces of Evil *cough*), but that's not to say there isn't any wasted potential here. Maybe there wouldn't have been such high expectations if it hadn't been played up as this heart-wrenching, soul-crushing eleven-minute epic. Maybe if it'd lived up to the hype I wouldn't be writing this. Or maybe regardless of how things turned out, there would always be a little disappointment mixed into it. Who's to say, really.
Either way, the 2023 series certainly has a lot to live up to, and a fairly solid foundation to build off of. There's still a few loose ends to tie up, plot points to resolve, mysteries to uncover, stories to finish. What's up in the other Realms? Where are the Time Twins? Will we ever see Morro again?
We're just gonna have to wait and see, I suppose.

I tried a simple animation with Nya. I think it turned out pretty ok for my lack of experience animating.

Okay, headcanon/theory/analysis regarding Jay’s mental breakdowns/insanity instances.
The reason the two times Jay has gone insane are so different isn’t necessarily because of the differences in trigger, at least not exclusively or even mostly. It’s because of his environment.
In Hunted he was around Kai, Cole, Wu, and Zane, so it kept him at least somewhat grounded in reality. He had others there to keep him tethered. He hadn’t exactly lost his grip on reality, but the idea that they’d never make it home made him basically go insane to cope with it (which is mentioned by Zane in I think like episode 2 of season 9?). Not once in Hunted does he seem like he went into psychosis. He’d just gone into a state of extreme relaxation that was abnormal for his personality.
In Crystalized, he didn’t have anyone or anything around to keep him grounded in reality, so when he went insane in Crystalized, it also induced a sort of psychosis/detachment from reality (which is something Kai brings up in Farewell the Sea).
I also feel like the emotional triggers might’ve had something to do with it. In Hunted Jay was most likely dealing with extreme anxiety related to the idea of never getting out of the First Realm and getting back to Ninjago, so he went insane to keep himself calm. In Crystalized Jay had been dealing with extreme depression and a traumatic loss, so to deal with the loss — and by extension, the depression — he ended up basically delusional and detached from reality to cope with it.
So here are a few key differences.
In Hunted:
Jay is incredibly calm to the point of freaking Kai out.
He also hasn’t exactly lost his grip on reality — he himself says “I’ve been feeling so much better since I accepted our situation!” which would imply he knows how dire their situation is and he’s not having delusions about it being better than it actually is (which would most likely be the delusions in the context of Hunted). He’s not delusional, he’s not detached from reality — he just went into an extreme state of being calm about the situation that is incredibly out of character.
There’s never once an implication that he’s delusional or detached from reality either. He’s the most anxiety riddled ninja in the group, so of course he’s going to doubt being able to get back to Ninjago. He knows they’re in a dangerous place — he’s 100% ready to die in the Pit fighting Slab, literally telling Kai “If I’m going out, I’m going out with bells on!”
Jay knows what he’s doing the entire time. He knows what’s going on. His insanity manifests in an extremely calm state that isn’t normal for him, not delusions or losing his grip on reality.
Jay doesn’t slowly come out of his insanity. He comes out of it instantaneously because he realizes he almost got himself killed.
In Crystalized:
Jay’s insanity does manifest in a detachment from reality and delusions, both shown in him keeping tap water around the lighthouse because he thinks he’s keeping part of Nya around with him.
Jay literally fights Kai because of the previous point.
Kai says “I think the cheese slid off Jay’s cracker” and he and Cole are quite confused and concerned by his behavior and appearance (Zane’s just there. He didn’t have his emotion meter on I don’t think he was capable of being confused or concerned).
When Jay returns to the monastery with Kai, Cole, and Zane, his insanity — while the psychosis is still there — calms down slightly, something I attribute to having others around to ground him and bring him back to reality, even if just slightly. Yes, Jay is still psychotic when he gets back to the monastery. But it’s definitely not as intense as it was at the lighthouse.
He comes out of the psychosis slower than he came out of the insanity he was experiencing in Hunted.
That’s the other huge difference: Jay never experienced psychosis in Hunted. He was psychotic for the first few episodes of Crystalized.
Both are different responses to different forms of trauma and I feel like the main reason Jay went into full on psychosis in Crystalized is because nobody was around to help him stay grounded in reality, so his tether to reality eventually snapped and he ended up detached from it. Being around Kai, Cole, Zane, Pixal, and Wu most likely helped him regain a bit of that tether, and he only regained all of it once he found out Nya could be saved.
So basically the main differences between Jay’s insanity in Hunted and Crystalized is in Hunted he never actually lost his grip on reality, he just was coping with the situation in a quite out of character way because he was most likely absolutely terrified with their situation, whereas in Crystalized he ended up in a psychotic state of mind (delusional and detached from reality) and emotionally unstable because of grief and depression, and possibly isolating himself and forcing himself to deal with it on his own.

Am I the only one who's really confused as to how Nyad's powers were transferred onto future generations and, eventually, to Maya and Nya? Did the elemental power of water just randomly manifest again at some point, making a human the next Master of Water? Were Nyad's elemental powers so great, once she had merged with the ocean, that she was able to split and share them with someone who would then establish a human line of elemental masters? If so, how did she meet or choose that someone?
I'm sure the hive mind of the Ninjago fandom will come up with some really clever theories and headcanons; let me know if you've got any!

Two days left, post E20 meme before it becomes completely irrelevant (cut 'cuz spoilers)
Yes I know y'all like your "haha he cares more about a plant than his son" jokes but some of us are desperate for these two to be a family again and are grabbing onto every vague sliver of hope we can to cope and reassure ourselves that EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE FINE, NOTHING BAD WILL HAPPEN TO EITHER OF THEM, THEY WILL NOT GIVE BACK OUR GARMADAD ONLY TO IMMEDIATELY TAKE HIM FROM US AGAIN AND HE WILL NOT HEROICALLY SACRIFICE HIMSELF AS A FINAL ACT OF LOVE FOR HIS SON AND REMIND LLOYD ALL TOO LATE OF HOW MUCH HE REALLY CARES (OR VICE VERSA)

This has been mentioned so many times but it is HILARIOUS that Crystalized implies the ninja can’t tell each other apart without color coding.
Either they got way too used to being color coded down to their fucking underwear, or they’re dumbasses and can’t tell each other apart by voice.
Either way it’s hilarious that they’ve lived together for years and STILL can’t tell each other apart without color coding.

A NEW NINJAGO SEASON 15 POSTER HAS OFFICIALLY DROPPED
(thanks to @swampythesweetsketch for sending me the image)
Ok, so, a brand new promotional image for Ninjago Season 15 has been released, and there's a lot here.
The crystal in the center has Lloyd's face as well as Vangelis' in the bottom alongside Mr. E (and between them, it'd appear to be Harumi smiling??), and Aspheera in the top right-hand corner, and (although hard to tell) we can also see a mysterious figure directly beneath her. And above Lloyd, we can also see the man, the myth, the legend himself, Pythor P. Chumsworth.
Surrounding the center crystal are the four Golden Weapons, all covered in purple crystals.
