#ninjago is very reflective of the storytelling strategies of late 80s and early 90s comics and that’s cool.

the secret ninjago truth is that lloyd isn’t actually an anime protagonist, kai was the traditional anime protagonist and got usurped by lloyd, a comic book protagonist
#ninjago#lloyd garmadon#text✨#i get why everyone says lloyd is. HOWEVER#the consistent inconsistency the serialized adventures that tell super interesting stories but regularly contradict#each other and retcon half the original canon#the writers constantly trying to recreate the original status quo but just fucking it up even more…#i understand where people are coming from but the writers are EXTREMELY american. these are late 70s kids who grew up with the peak of#the american comic industry. lloyd’s a comic book character#the hagemans specifically pointed to their childhood storytelling with their action figures as influencing how they wrote the show and it#shows.#this isn’t like a callout or anything avshdjd#it’s just interesting to me. as someone who’s been collecting that era of comics (right around when the big 2 were rolling out secret wars#and crisis on infinite earths and finally making superhero stories coherent#it’s very clear how this is the kind of media they were exposed to and internalized#ninjago is very reflective of the storytelling strategies of late 80s and early 90s comics and that’s cool.#*especially later seasons of ninjago
