I agree with practically everything you said here except for one thing: I do buy Skylor falling for Kai. She doesn’t buy his bullcrap, and is honestly a more grounded person than him. She balances out his ego by outsmarting him and seeing him for the total dork he really is. I feel like she saw it as a bit endearing that he thinks he’s got it all but is clueless. That’s just me anyway- but I can still totally see where you’re coming from. Great video as usual!

And I also think it shows how good of a character Kai is, as he doesn't change his ideals to be with her, and Skylor has to rethink hers instead.

I can see why you don't like Skylor in the 2nd half of ToE, but honestly I think that her changing sides shows how great of a character Kai is. As it eas because of Kai's loyalty to his friends that he resised Skylor's mind games, and that willingness to do the right also gave her the courage to go through with betraying her father. So that's why she's shocked when Kai succumbs to the powers of Chen's staff, as Kai was the only one who didn't give up on her and helped her change for the better. But with that being said, I do still think your take on Skylor is valid and I do wish that the writers utilised her more in other seasons, especially the ones where the ninja aren't protecting Ninjago.

Chen is the perfect "silly villain", because despite his funny behavior, he's actually sort of creepy, and his actions reflect a much deeper and more calculating personality. This is paralleled by Clouse, who on the exterior is a cool, calculating assistant, but at heart is still the jealous boy who lost to Garmadon unfairly. Chen manipulating all of them, and so effectively, is fascinating to watch.

I actually don’t mind skylor allying with the ninja especially after she realizes that her father just sees her as a pawn and doesn’t really care about her, also I don’t mind kailor either I just wish in the later episodes of the season they developed an actual bond bc it feels a little rushed imo but there dynamic and chemistry in later seasons is great especially in crystallized.

One of the things I love about TOE is how they get to go all out on the martial arts for the ninja and the other elemental masters, I do agree on how the last part felt alright it would've been more cooler if it was to get the elemental masters to work with the ninja to show they have trust issues after what happened with Chen to make the final battle a lot more rewarding still a good season tho.

I prefer Possession a bit more, but season four is a close second for me as the best season. It is just amazing from beginning to end. I really like the ending for scenes like Chen telling Skylor that he's done everything because he doesn't want to be "insignificant", Garmadon talking about how the real Anacondrai wanted peace, but Chen deceived both sides, and how the Anacondrai ghosts save the day, with them calling the ninja the greatest warriors in history.

Tournament of Elements is tied with Sons of Garmadon as my favourite Ninjago season for many of the reasons you listed in this video. I personally don't mind the second half, since the season was clearly building up to it anyways and it still managed to keep up the high stakes of the first half. I agree with everything else tho

Another thing I loved about this season was how every character got a small arc. Many seasons focus on a specific ninja, but this season gave character development to everyone involved, including Nya and Garmadon. I loved the two subplots in this season: Cole helping everyone break out of the noodle factory, and Nya & Dareth attempting to infiltrate the island. Everything came together in Episode 7 for an explosive finale. Unfortunately the season went downhill after that, but it's still one of the best seasons ever made!

Really great video here! Tournament of Elements is probably my favourite season, and I love the way you highlighted its strengths and weaknesses. Would definitely be interested in a deep dive into this season. I really adore the tournament premise and how it builds intrigue and interesting character dynamics. The subplot of Garmadon's history with Chen, Clouse and the Anacondrai is great. Along with him having to sacrifice himself again is really tragic to see how he has to basically give up everything due to past decisions he regrets.

ToE has always been one of my favourite seasons, though I honestly like all the seasons. I don't have ones I dislike, like some people do. Just ones I like better, and ones I like a bit less better lol. I agree with most everything you said here, I would add one more though, the humour. Most of the public now completely downplays how important this is. How it adds to the charm. There is a new trend, especially in the USA, to make things so SERIOUS. Dark, gritty, distressing even. It just makes me YAWN, and I don't want to be disturbed. Some levity thrown in makes all the difference in the world, and makes you bond more with the characters. Sorry, this is a bit long, but I can't do a video to say the same things. Just a couple of things I don't agree with though, and I encounter this a lot in the fan base....what is with people thinking Kai is such a dork, and arrogant? lol. Truly, I'm just honestly baffled by this. I dunno, maybe I just have different taste? I'm autistic. Does that make a difference in how I am seeing his character? He's my favourite along with Garmadon. But I think people are totally misreading him all the time. He's not arrogant at all. Arrogant people think they are better than everyone else, and they are obnoxious, and immoral. Kai is a fundamentally good person, who is loyal to his loved ones, and always does the right thing, even if it's not in his personal best interest. He doesn't actually think he's better than anyone, he just has a healthy dose of self love, and that's a good thing. He also gets a bit insecure sometimes, and so likes to show off. Big deal. There are far worse things a person can do. When he sees Karloff trying to harass Skylor, and talks about honour, so fights Karloff, people think this is lame somehow, and Skylor says, 'I can handle myself'....well, I'm going to maybe piss some people off, and I'm a feminist also, but Yes, the 'strong, and independent female that can fight 'like a man', and doesn't need help ever'.....YAWN again. I'm so tired of this trope, and it's also totally false. Everyone needs help sometimes, and no, women are not as strong as men. There I said it. Yes, you can fight also, good for you. But a guy wanting to jump in and help doesn't make the woman 'weak', and it doesn't make him a dork, or sexist show off. It just means he has values. If only more people irl were like that. So things like that, if people are judging it, that just makes me roll my eyes so hard. I think his attitude is charming, and amusing. It's hilarious when he sees a portrait of himself and says 'SO handsome!' or is in the hospital, and chirps, 'Of course I'm in the hospital, my hair is SICK!' lol. Gold! Why am I saying this stuff? Cause it's bugged me for years, and well, it ties into the rest of it. I also don't see Skylor as a villain. I know she was meant to be, according to Chen's design, but it's actually explained later, and it makes sense to me. Yes, she was manipulating Kai initially, but not out of evil intentions, (and yes this matters, unlike cough, Harumi for example, hate her....) but as she later said, 'I have to obey my father', and 'He holds all the power'. She felt she had no choice. She didn't actively choose to do so. Her alternative was what? Risk jail or worse? She's stuck on this island with him, and his minions. She couldn't go against him, but once she made friends, she had the opportunity to do so. And yeah, she was starting to fall for Kai the whole time, but she was conflicted obviously. Her seeming like she was put off by his antics, was really her feeling guilt over what she knew she was doing. So it all makes sense really, and I don't see her as being this bad person. She did the right thing in the end, and I'm happy with their bond. What I do find a bit weird, is how little interaction they had throughout the rest of the series. Harumi in contrast, acted purely out of evil, is a total psycho, and imo, is totally irredeemable, and it makes me so angry that they had Lloyd still have feelings for her, AND try to redeem her at the end of Crystalized, but I digress.

Most people seem to think that the Overlord is the Ninjago equivalent to Darth Sidious, but I would actually argue that Chen is a lot more close: Both of them are strategic geniuses playing two sides against each other to create a war for their own benefit (In Star Wars it's the Clone Wars, in Ninjago, it's the Serpentine Wars.), both of them had one of the heroes as their apprentice (in Star Wars, it's Anakin, in Ninjago, it's Garmadon.), both have a tendency to be very theatrical, especially with their laugh (Just look at all the KZbin compilations of Palpatine laughing.), both of them steal other's power or energy at one point (Granted, with Palpatine, it happens in Rise of Skywalker, so...) and both of them wear cape-like clothing. This is so interesting because it shows the power of Chen's show: He tries to look all goofy and stupid on the outside, when in reality, he is this manipulating strategist. And he pulls off this facade so well, even the audience believes it.

S4 was my favorite season as a child, and you've helped put into words why it feels like there's such a divide between the first half of the season and the second, all while acknowledging the season's biggest flaws. 10/10 video, will watch again

Also often I see a villainous trio or duo that is antagonistic for a season of TV, but often one of them decides to turn good - this can be written well (the Flash season 4 did it very well I'd say) but it doesn't work for Skylor here. Edit: Past me is crazy what. Skylor is fine here. Decided that clearly she felt guilty about what she did with Kai, and was trapped by her father who didn't care about her, not really.

I wish Tournament of Elements focused more on the Tournament, I know that sounds weird but the Tournament aspect was by far the most exciting story, instead it was just a battle royale and Round of 16 before Chen decides to yeet everyone. It just felt really disappointing, especially as in the end it was cut short for an underdeveloped Serpentine War. Also I have a major nitpick I cannot defend and find hard to forgive: 1. Why is it that the mystery to everything, about Chen stealing the powers of everyone was hidden under Kai's bed? Why would you make a bed that will reveal your secret plan to probably your most heroic opponent? If this didn't happen, Chen would most likely have succeeded. Other than that it's a good season, one of Ninjago's best. Note: also why did Shade run? He literally had no reason to, 😂 I can forgive this but it's so stupid.

I always excuse the bed plothole as Chen just wanting drama in the Tournament since he didn't only orchestrate the Tournament for his plans, but also for his own entertainment. And what would create more drama than a couple of contestants knowing that "There's something moreeeeee!" (Man, "Enter the Tournament" is such an underrated song!)

@@pjklockner5683 Yeah but then a villain handicapping his own plan for laughs doesn't exactly make him as cunning as the narrative sets him out to be, also if the villain doesn't take his plan seriously enough that he makes it fail for drama, why should the audience take him or his plan seriously?

@@TooSweet353 Considering that the Ninja knowing doesn't really seem to be an issue for Chen until the Tournament is already over anyway, I would say it makes him even more cunning: He may create his own problems, but that's just because he is able to deal with them. It is in-character for him to do something like this.

@@pjklockner5683 Uh... No. The Ninja knowing, led to the whole investigation in the first place, everything built-up to another. If the Ninja didn't know, Nya wouldn't have to sneak in and find out about the whole Anacondrai spell, Skylor would never be revealed abruptly as the spy, no seeds of doubt sewn among Tournament Members and the Ninja would very much have been too late to stop Chen from taking over Ninjago. Also having a simpler plan, handicapping it just to have a more complicated fix to the problem is very stupid and doesn't make Chen cunning at all, it makes him stupid. If I plan to go on a diet and exercise to get fit for a month, on the 1st week, I eat all sorts of junk food and gain lots of weight, just to revert and go back on the 2nd week to try to get back to the original plan, it's not me being cunning, it's me being stupid as I've made things needlessly hard for myself.

Can you make a vidoe talking about how season 3 isn't really a Zane season cause it really felt like a team season with Zane having a little bit of a focus compared to the other ninjas

For me theres 1 thing that makes Tournament's finale kinda weak. Mostly, when a ninja gets a season to them selfs, they are the ones to defeat or atleast battle the main villain of the season. Lloyd and Zane defeat the Overlord, Nya defeats Kalmar, Jay defeats Nadakhan, Cole defeats the Skull Sorcerer. But Kai doesn't battle Chen personally, nor does he defeat him. That goes to the ones on the bounty. It's not really a big problem but personally, it kinda makes the finale of this awesome season weaker than it could have been.

To be fair, I think that Kai's arc for that season ended when he destroyed the Staff of Elements, as that wraps up his jealousy arc in season 4. It shows that he had all the power in his hands, yet he decided to do the right thing and give it up.
