Eh, I'll name it later

And they all have names like this:

For those who haven't seen the movie: most of the worldbuilding is absent, the Ninja have very little depth and very few similarities to their show selves, and Spinjitzu and the Serpentine just do not exist.

Fortunately, the showrunners (Tommy Andreasen, Dan Hageman, and Kevin Hageman) all knew that this would be a terrible idea, so they tried their hardest to prevent this, eventually reaching a compromise with LEGO:

• They may continue to use the original continuity, building upon the established lore, worldbuilding, character development, etc

BUT

• They must incorporate some elements of the movie - specifically, the Ninja must use their movie designs, and Wu and Garmadon must return as soon as possible

Thus, S8: Sons of Garmadon and S9: Hunted were made. And I guess the threat of the show being replaced must have caused the writers to lock in harder than ever before, considering S8 and S9 are two of the best seasons the show ever had.

Just look at Namor. He made his live-action movie debut in 2022 with Wakanda Forever, so for a lot of people, that's their first exposure to the character. How many casual fans know that Namor is the oldest character in the MCU, and that he was created a year before Captain America? Hell, he's only one month younger than Batman.

And what about She-Hulk? A lot of people would have first discovered her through her Disney+ series, yet she first appeared in 1980. She-Hulk predates Venom by 8 years, yet Venom is more famous purely because he's connected to Spider-Man.

Absolute Spinema, a 9.5/10 season

- Jay saying Nadakhan's about to be 'French toast', specifically in reference to Nadakhan's accent

- Zane saying the treadmill was invented in 1818

- Clutch Powers speaking German

- Jay and Johnny Courageous using British slang ('tenner' and 'cuppa' respectively)

- Most accents in general (the only accent that actually has an in-universe justification? Russian)

- Jay mentioning the Three Musketeers

Things that somehow *do* make sense within the world of Ninjago
