Robert8 Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 The Jestro/Book webisode was very good indeed. Quote
CM4Sci Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Eeesh, if every single episode is gonna be Jestro and co. attacking the village and then the knights come and power up and destroy them in the same way they've always done so far, count me out. I had high hopes for this. Why can't they just be serious? A serious, sort of dark series. Quote
DraikNova Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Kind of annoyed at how instantly Clay trounced the two strongest mooks in the bunch. Here's hoping Lavaria turns out to be more competent when she shows up. Quote
Lyichir Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Kind of annoyed at how instantly Clay trounced the two strongest mooks in the bunch. Here's hoping Lavaria turns out to be more competent when she shows up. He basically crashed into them with a plane. I doubt any of the characters would be up for much fighting after that.

Takanuinuva Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 I'm kinda hoping Lavaria will try and pretend to be a good lava monster and fool the knights to get to Merlock 2.0 and try and destroy him. Quote
DraikNova Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) He crashed into them at a relatively low speed, plus they both seemed to be significantly more massive than the plane and without the density-reducing measures a vehicle needs to be capable of flight. It'd be like trying to knock over an elephant by hitting it with a lion. Edited December 30, 2015 by DraikNova Quote
Mandate Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 So far we've had two true TV episodes, and in those it's happened... once altogether? So if that's too often for you then I think the problem is on your end, not the show creators'. It's kind of like complaining "I like this show Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu, but I wish they didn't do Spinjitzu so often." Plus, half the point of the Nexo Power scenes is to give kids something to scan for the Merlok 2.0 app, so not having those scenes would mean not giving kids anything new to scan that week. The difference is, is that the writers of NINJAGO conveniently forget that spinjitzu exists in 9 out of 10 episodes, and hearing a bunch of people scream "Ninja-GO!" is infinitely less cheesy than a 30 second song and dance number that advertises an advertisement inside of a commercial. It's a distracting sequence, it goes on for far longer than needed for their silly app gimmick and it breaks the flow of the scene. Kind of annoyed at how instantly Clay trounced the two strongest mooks in the bunch. Here's hoping Lavaria turns out to be more competent when she shows up. Having not seen the 3rd minisode (or paid any attention to character names outside the main cast), I thought you were talking about Chima for a moment there. Quote
Aanchir Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 He crashed into them at a relatively low speed, plus they both seemed to be significantly more massive than the plane and without the density-reducing measures a vehicle needs to be capable of flight. It'd be like trying to knock over an elephant by hitting it with a lion. Ah, but this plane is also a giant sword. A lion is not. You hit an elephant with a lion that is also a giant sword, I have a feeling you could inflict a mortal wound. I feel like that metaphor got away from me, but whatevs. Quote
Lordofdragonss Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Not brilliant, but most certainly a giant step up from their last attempt at a minisode. Only serious problem I had was with the "NEXO POWAH!!!" scene, that's going to be unbearble before we get through half the season if it happens as much as it has so far. I'm sure this will be in EVERY Nexo Episodes so you could get new Nexopowers. It's shame they just don't...use them. It's like NEXOPOWAH!!!!!!!! DOWNLOAD!!!!! MONSTERS GO PUFF!!!!!! Quote
PenPlays Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) Anybody a little irritated by the little blipping noise that happens whenever a NEXO-Power is about to appear on screen? I feel it makes battle sequences a tad anticlimactic. Also, to summarize the Jestro Short: Not bad. Edited December 31, 2015 by Penkid11 Quote
Koori Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I saw the first two episodes on cartoon network last week and as much as I hate the sets because I'm a Lego castle fan, I got to admit as a tv show its pretty good. Quote

You hit an elephant with a lion that is also a giant sword, I have a feeling you could inflict a mortal wound. I feel like that metaphor got away from me, but whatevs. If he had hit them with the blade, the sword aspect would have been relevant. As it is, he crashed between them, hitting them with either side of the hilt, Quote

DuckBricks Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 Oh God I hate that noise! Every time it appears it destroys the entire pacing and atmosphere. I can see why it's included though... It's a warning for kids (or adults who play the game like me) to whip out their phones and get the scanner up and ready... Quote
Dosenbrot Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 I can see why it's included though...

I dont play the game so I didnt know this feature was included... Quote
AyliffeMakit Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 In other news, the Legoland ad at the back of the set instructions states that a 4D Nexo Knights film will be unveiled there this summer. That's the second 4D film coming out there this year! Quote
Starrocks923 Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 I've seen several of the Nexo Knights episodes/webisodes/videos they put online, and I've been trying to scan the powers. Does anyone mind taking screenshots of the specific scenes where Powers appear? It's difficult to scan a Power more than once when you can't pause the TV... Quote

I'm making a post now in Lego Media of all the shields discovered thus far. Quote
Starrocks923 Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 I'm making a post now in Lego Media of all the shields discovered thus far. Thanks. It's difficult for me because I can only hold 4 charges currently, and you have to scan a shield FIVE TIMES to reach its maximum potential. Pausing J2G's review videos works pretty well. As for the LEGO Magazine, the version on the LEGO Club website does not work for me. Quote

DraikNova Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Two new webisodes: and . Not sure what to think of Lavaria's voice (not really what I imagined for her, but it works). I'm glad they didn't have the (mostly) unarmored knights manage to desummon the bigger demons in Axl's episode. Quote
CM4Sci Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 This been posted? Listing for The Golden Castle on Jan 18 Quote
TomKraut Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Next week is going to be awesome, with the show starting for real and the sets (supposedly) broadly available in Germany! And I desperately want an Alice Squires minifigure! Time to purchase some pink PLA and fire up the 3D printer... Anyone got suggestions what hairpiece I could use? Quote

Those two guys were my least favorite parts of the episodes. I'd use the Friends hair that looks like that, I dunno if it's come in blonde yet though. Quote
