Flip side, people also act like I can’t like a character just because their writing isn’t top tier. I’m aware Akita’s writing was rushed. Do I care? Hell no she’s fantastic and I want her back now.

The Malicious Third Wheel

Both characters showcase a visceral dislike for the position they’ve been put in (like Lloyd not wanting to be the green ninja/fight Garmadon at first and Mia not wanting to be a princess) but then grow to be extremely responsible in their roles. 

Both carry big “chosen one” energy due to the sheer unexpectedness and heavy responsibility of their roles

Both are taken advantage of romantically because of their position in their role (Harumi and Josh)

Both have romances after the first romance where they were taken advantage of with someone who is not entirely honest about who they are and then it snowballs into a much larger mistrust that eventually sorts itself out (Akita and Nicholas)

Both have a very outspoken character close enough to be like a sibling who greatly encourages them to use their talents for good no matter how shitty the circumstances are (Lily and Nya specifically in Hunted)

Both have a wise yet surprisingly quirky older relative leading them in their role (Master Wu and Queen Clarisse)

Both have a father who was absent through majority of their childhood but not in the least unloving (Garmadon and lwk I forgot Mia’s dads name)

Both are seen as somewhat childish considering their supposed responsibilities, but still show insane poise for someone in their situation (especially considering the crazy shenanigans that occur in their respective plotlines)

I have genuinely seen it all. I’ve seen people claim he was like 14 in season 8, I’ve seen people claim he was 25 in season 14, I’ve seen people claim he’s like 18 in the first season of Dragons Rising.

So shamelessly me projecting that it’s barely Cole, it’s just me

omfg the bar to consider Garmadon a “reformed parent” was in literal hell

Brother where are you getting this money

The only possible source of income that could possibly pay ninja (the government?) is now effectively dismantled because of the merge where are you getting this dough
