Kai being overrated? Sure. Morro being overrated? Old news. But when people claim that a main character is overrated…..

A character can’t be overrated in their own show.

I don’t know how to break the news to some of you, but Lloyd is Ninjago’s main character. He isn’t overrated.

Despite him being the character to gain the most attention, works, edit, etc, he’s still not overrated.

A main character can’t be overrated when the show is about that, it only shows the main character is either super beautiful, well written, or both.

And yes, I know you’re thinking “That’s not true, Kai was the main character of S1, and Nya was of S14! S12 and S6 are obviously about Jay.” And you’ll only be right about your third argument.

And let me hit you with one argument to counter yours.

But have you noticed that no matter what, Lloyd as not the main focus, would still gain the most screen time? And his own arc for that screen time?

S7, is supposedly about Kai and Nya, and yet Lloyd has this whole ‘master-in-training’ arc.

S4, is supposedly about Kai, and yet whose powers are exclusively saved for last?

S10, I think it’s supposedly about Cole? Who dies? Whose father needs to be released from prison? Who is apparently the one of two people who can walk through the darkness as if Wu doesn’t exist? (Lmao maybe it’s a Lloyd season after all)

S3, is supposedly about love (Pixane/Cojaya), who is targeted by The Overlord and has to runaway with his papa?

AND in the few Jay season where he didn’t get that special of an arc, he was somehow the one to last longest without us knowing he will. LET ME EXPLAIN LMAO, we all knew when watching that Nya was gonna make it with Jay in S6 & S12, but in both of these, before Nya ‘disappears’, it’s Lloyd who dies/gets sucked into the sword

Also, just think about who we know most stuff about and who’s enemies & relatives have the most screen time. I’ll do you a solid and yes, you can not count Wu as Lloyd’s relative and only count close family, cause Lloyd is still moping the floor!!

Hey anon!

Oh boy, you want me to try and explain why aaddtsotu is such a good book? I feel like I’ll fail you with my lack of being able to convey just how beautiful it is. I’m hoping that anyone else who reads this will please add in the comments as to why they feel it’s such a great book. (please don’t leave me to be the only one because I don’t think i can do it justice)

To me, the book reads like poetry and in a lot of ways. There is is this purity to it that I don’t think a lot of other books have been able to capture. It’s a story of 2 mexican-american boys in the 80′s, who are entirely opposites to one another but are able to teach one another important things in their lives. Strangers who become friends, and then friends who fall in love and become so much more. They have such a yin and yang relationship to one another. Ari is the more reluctant of the two, always seeing the world in darker, more melancholic hues. Dante, however is this explosion of color & happiness and light. He’s the one that’s always looking to the future, to better things. He’s the “glass half full” to Ari’s “glass half empty” view on life.

The parental representation in the book is also wonderful. The relationship between both characters and their parents is strong and warm and loving. Both Ari & Dante’s parents are supportive of their children and who they are and how they can better their lives by pointing out emotions that have maybe been overlooked because they are so inside their own heads, as most kids can be.

I snagged some help from a friend to see what they’d say about it to help sell it and they came at me with:

“It was the first lgbtq book I read and one of the greatest friends to everything books I have ever read. It’s got so much: family, friends, conflict, growth, sacrifice, doubt, longing.”

I know this isn’t much to go on (I also apologize as I am at work right now too).
