NinjaJayNuva Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 I'm actually starting to think that the movie might be canonized to the TV show universe. I mean like there are no way for them to promote ninja suits of one single season with all the legoland stuffs. Besides, the set numbers of the movie sets are right after the skybound sets, so I guess the movie might be canonized. Quote

Besides, the set numbers of the movie sets are right after the skybound sets, so I guess the movie might be canonized. I don't think set numbers have anything to do with whether or not the movie is canon to the rest of the Ninjago story—either way, the sets will be branded as Ninjago and are most likely even being designed by most of the same designers, so I would be more surprised if the movie sets WEREN'T in line with the rest of the theme's set numbers. That said, I doubt the movie will be non-canon. At worst, it might be a side story that has little impact on future events in the TV show (much like, say, the various Pokémon movies over the years), but with so many of the TV show staff working on the movie and no easy way to have a TV season simultaneous with the movie-based sets, making the movie represent the next chapter of the Ninjago storyline just makes sense.

LegendsOfNinjago Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 I agree. I kinda feel like starting a new canon for Ninjago might kill the fanchise and it wouldn't make any sense. Ninjago has been built up by Lego so much and to see it all reset, wouldn't make sense. Who's to say the movie will even be canon with the Lego movie? Quote

Ninjago has been built up by Lego so much and to see it all reset, wouldn't make sense. Who's to say the movie will even be canon with the Lego movie? Everything we've seen about this movie (and the Lego Batman movie) suggests that it will be a part of the same "cinematic universe" as The Lego Movie. That said, I don't see why a movie like this can't be canon to The Lego Movie AND to Ninjago. Just because The Lego Movie mixed a bunch of themes together doesn't mean every sequel and spin-off will, and apart from minor stylistic differences, I don't see what would keep this movie from working with both canons provided that it kept things focused on Ninjago and Ninjago alone. Heck, even if it does feature other worlds, select events and characters from the movie's canon could still be carried over into the main Ninjago canon, just like they did with Ronin's debut in the TV series (which did not necessarily canonize the events of Shadow of Ronin but did maintain that the ninja had met and fought with Ronin before).

NinjaJayNuva Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Breaking news! Poster and plot of Ninjago Movie has been revealed! I guess I should just leave the link down here: http://www.movieinsider.com/m12086/ninjago/production#plot Quote
Takanuinuva Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Lord Gagmadon?! Was he banished cause he choked on his food On another note. Six Ninja I guess Nya will be a Ninja in this version of Ninjago from the get go. Though the whole High Schoolers by day. Ninjas by night screams Power Rangers. Quote
Umbra-Manis Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Though the whole High Schoolers by day. Ninjas by night screams Power Rangers. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Quote
DuckBricks Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 High schoolers? What? Crossing my fingers this is erroneous. VERY disappointing... :( Quote
TheLazyChicken Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Oh no... This movie sounds like a flop already. Seriously? High schoolers? No, that's a horrible idea, why couldn't they just keep them as adults? Also, snakes, again? Shouldn't we have some new entity or foe? Ugh I had high hopes but this is honestly a huge let down. Quote
Starscream759 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Really? There really gonna pull the "High school" angle on these characters even though we've seen this plot over and over a million times over? God damn it all...then again to be fair, Ninjago is a show that was built around cliches but they found loopholes to make the show more interesting. THIS however is just going into an area that we already know by. There's going to be a love interest that one of the characters will fall in love with, the protagonist is going to deal with a bully that might as will be something from a really bad sketch show, there's a misunderstanding with the love interest, there's going to be a big to do with saving the world against a cackling villain that may or may not be interfering with a certain event that the High School is holding, there will be a speech about how friendship and teamwork is important and blah blah blah, villain gets defeated, main protagonist gets the girl at the end and they all live happily ever after. But then it turns out it was all a fever that Emmet from the Lego Movie had and then a dance party ensues in Bricksburg and Superman does the worm. Nah just kidding with that last bit, but you know those kind of cliches will happen in the movie. Edited March 22, 2016 by Starscream759 Quote
CM4Sci Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Shoot me now, high schoolers? Come on... Garmadon? AGAIN? SNAKES? AGAIN? I hope it's animated like TLM. Quote
gamejutzu Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Maybe... It's a new team of ninja...? Although six new characters does seem like a bit much... Well, we know it isn't canon to the show now. However, this means that it might be animated like TLM, since it's not canon anyway... Or maybe... The old Ninjago as we knew it is being destroyed, and this is the second reboot?? Yeah I admit it's not as catchy as the Reboot or Ghost themes but still quite good if not for the "What shall we do with the Pirate Ninja" line which I think is a bit corny at least in my opinion. I think it was corny on purpose, it's a stereotypical pirate line. Also, I don't think there are any lyrics out, so that may not be the accurate line. Edited March 22, 2016 by gamejutzu Quote
PenPlays Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) *Sits in ornate chair next to an ornate table sipping the Kool-Aid from a tea cup* Rapidly among the stars, the non-canon nay-sayers are triggered. So... who's actually excited about this? I am. It's non-canon. What could possibly go wrong? New outfits An oriental Ninja High-School (please Lego gods, PLEASE!!!) A story written by the Hageman bros. Garmadon Serpentine "fleet of vehicles" I see no negatives. As long as it doesn' effect the TV show canon, this is okay. I'm genuinely interested... Now where's my teaser trailer... EDIT: I have started a thread for the movie. The thread we have here will remain exclusively for the sake of the TV show. Edited March 22, 2016 by Penkid11 Quote
Cagast Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Aand with this my interest in Ninjago is over. Quote
BrickJagger Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 HIGH SCHOOLERS? C'mon Lego, you just tanked one of your top three themes. Quote
PenPlays Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Can we please Redirect to the movie thread? Quote

I see no reason why people should hate it, even amazing Spiderman 1 take place in highschool, and it ended up pretty well. Quote
Starscream759 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) And on a high note I've got a Ninjago set featuring Cole. I figured why not I've had a workout today I might as well buy myself some Lego seeing I had been exercising all morning so I did that. Edited March 22, 2016 by Starscream759 Quote
NinjaJayNuva Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 I was wondering if the s7 poster has something to do with the story. As you can see, Yong's haunted temple is floating up, could it be time paradox? Or Yang somehow remember the skybound incident and thinks what Nadakhan is doing is a good idea? Quote

I think Jay's wish has some effect on the time period and some events from the past change, like the floating islands may stay there but without Nadakhan, Chen may have never been able to transform into an Anacondrai. Pythor has his robes that look similar to the Rebooted ones meaning that he might've never shrunk or something like that. I feel like the change of one event changes all the events in the past. Quote

gamejutzu Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Yeah. Maybe Cryptor never died either, explaining his black robes? Edited March 23, 2016 by gamejutzu Quote
PenPlays Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) What poster? Do some snooping around the usual places-social media and instagrams. It's not something extremely stellar, but it's worth a look. Edited March 23, 2016 by Penkid11 Quote

I figured out whose Intsagram would have it pretty soon after I posted that. You're right though, it's a nice poster but nothing spectacular. Quote
-Zond- Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) *This part is deleted* And can someone give me a link to pirate's music theme from Skybound, please?) Edited March 23, 2016 by -Zond- Quote
