I'm rewatching the Master Chen season on demand and saw what looked like a character from Hands of Time. In Episode 40, (Spellbound), Kai and Nya's parents (Ray and Maya) appear in a flashback along with the rest of the elemental masters, sans Acronix, Krux, and Libber (Jay's mom, semi-official name). I assume you mean their parents, though. Edited March 16, 2017 by legozebra Quote
GarmaFan Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 https://www.lego.com/en-us/ninjago/characters Not sure how to feel about the fact that they forgot Lloyd, yet included Misako, who isn't in any Hands of Time sets.. Quote
BubbaFit45531 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 I wonder if they planned it out ahead of time and put future characters in past seasons as unnamed characters or if they just looked at past seasons' flashbacks and picked out characters to write into future seasons. Quote

Probably some combination of both. Quote

I'm pretty sure Lloyd not being there is a mistake - it's not like they'd exclude him on purpose. Personally, I like Misako's addition, showing her relevance as a character to the plot. Quote

But, they also had Macchia as Nya's placeholder image before they added the new profiles, so I guess it isn't too weird. Quote
BubbaFit45531 Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 The Hands of Time ninja outfits remind me of Imelda Marcos dresses with the fluffy shoulders. Not very ninja like. Quote

Watch some Akira Kurosawa films and you will likely associate those designs to samurai and ronins. Quote
GarmaFan Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Speaking of samurai, the premise of the show would probably be more fitting if they were samurai instead of ninja. Samugo.. eh, sounds corny. But, we got 7 seasons (and counting) and a movie, so things worked anyway. Edited March 21, 2017 by GarmaFan Quote

GarmaFan Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) Spoiler (something important changing for Lloyd) Holy crap, guys.. it's the end of an era. Edit: Sorry it took so long to add a spoiler, the option wasn't on mobile. Edited March 25, 2017 by GarmaFan Quote

Power Ranger endured the test of time, and so will Ninjago. It worked in many generations and this formula is proven. 3 hours ago, GarmaFan said: Holy crap, guys.. it's the end of an era. 1 should have used spoiler tag, maybe? Quote
BubbaFit45531 Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Is this after Hands of Time? Will there be a new hairdo as well? Quote

Doesn't change the fact that for most people watching the show would like to know what's going to happen to the characters in the future season. You rob the people of suspense. But I get it that it's normal for you. Quote

Well, I guess in a miniscule way (either it's mentioned once and then never again, or no one brings it up at all), but I figured things like this are just considered news. Can I not put spoiler tags on edits? Edited March 25, 2017 by GarmaFan Quote

Mandate Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Well that was unexpected. I know some people didn't like Lloyd's voice, but I'm sad that it's getting changed anyway. Jilian did a great job for the past five years doing Lloyd, and I hope the change isn't too rough. Quote
DuckBricks Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 What a development indeed - I wonder how they'll work that into the plot. I'd assume it would have something to do with the Time Blades and one of them ages him up like Wu, but there was no hint of that as far as I could see in the episodes... Quote

I didn't want that piece of info to get spoiled for me at least until we were closer to season 8, but I do know. I'd rather I didn't read that, and a couple of others will too. Quote
