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
