Genuine question here, do people actually enjoy skybound?
I’ve seen some posts on TikTok talking about how it’s great because of the character development between Nya and Jay, which I understand, but then they don’t see anything wrong with it?
There are a lot of things that aren’t terrible about this season, don’t get me wrong… HOWEVER you can’t deny it gets weird.
Firstly we have Jay being mysogynistic and a bit of a creep. I saw someone call him an incel and unfortunately I feel they’re right. A lot of the characters get like this throughout the season as well, but it is mostly Jay. Personally he feels really out of character for a lot of the season, as well as Nya.
Onto Nya, I feel she didn’t get what she deserved this season. She told Jay she didn’t want to be defined by her relationships but he didn’t listen, and she makes a couple of very stupid mistakes. Then again, this is Ninjago and there are a lot of stupid mistakes.
Nadakhan had the ability to be such a good villain. If the writers didn’t make him interested in Nya i personally think it could have been more interesting. Yes, I know he was only interested in her because she looked like Dolores, but that does not excuse how creepy he was. Also, weren’t the ninja still teenagers at this time?
Alright, rambling over. I understand this season has very mixed feeling for a lot of people, and I really want to know your opinions on this season.
I can't sleep... anyone else ever think of how awful of a person Nadakhan is. But also how his crew members weren't bad people, they were just desperate people who he took advantage of?
Dogshank was just a literal CHILD. when she met Nadakhan. Like 14 at most. My girl literally had pigtails. All she wanted was validation from people around her, or an ego boost from being "the best" at everything. And he turned her into a monster??? Because she was lonely???
Same thing for everyone else on Misfortune's Keep. A pirate crew of mainly poor people with slight quirks that had NOTHING, NOWHERE TO GO, AND NO ONE TO REMEMBER THEM IF THEY WENT MISSING. WHICH IS WHY NADAKHAN THOUGHT OF THEM AS THE PERFECT VICTIMS!!
HE DOESN'T PREY ON EVERYBODY, HE ONLY PREYS ON DESPERATE PEOPLE WITH LITTLE TO NOTHING TO LOSE. THIS COUNTS FOR ALL THE NINJA, BECAUSE THEY EACH HAD SOMETHING THEY'RE EXTREMELY DESPERATE FOR. OH MY GOD.
(Yes! It’s on the right day!) This is for day eleven (pirate) of ninjinktober! It’s Nadakhan!

and also when nya smith said “save me, jay walker. there’s gonna be a wedding and i want you to do something about it.”
remember when kai smith became the first enemies-to-lovers booktok boyfriend by saying “was it his idea to make me fall for you or yours? because it worked.”
WDYM "treats them worse than canon (Nadakhan)"
WHAT IS THAT MAN DOING
I’m glad you asked 😈
Nadakhan does not care that they are children!
He sees Nya as his daughter since she look so much like his late wife.
But instead of marrying her, he have some ritual to bind her to his side forever.
Huge emotional manipulation on Nya
Gave her Jay’s cut off hand because she was acting “disobedient”
Other punishment like starving her and locking her in her room. Although he wouldn’t physically harm her
The other ninjas also sustain a lot more injuries
Jay loses his eye as well as his hand. Making him look even more pirate like
Zane loses a leg.
Kai and Cole both are severely injured.
Lloyd is the probably the least injured since he the oldest in this Au. But the guilt he carries is huge!
Nya still dies
Baby Jay is left the only one to remember his friends gruesome fate after he makes the wish for everything to go back!
He doesn’t tell anyone not even Lloyd and Kai who he closest with in this Au.
He just goes completely nonverbal for a month or two, he avoids Nya like the plague for a lot longer and by extension Kai as well
No one really knows what happened just that something big is
Jay has huge identity issue due to finding out he was adopted
Zane is the one who finally gets him to break his silence by forcing Jay to bake with him
Jay tells them about l it like when he 15
“Hey remember that time when I just had nightmare and wouldn’t talk for a months? Yeah funny story! I actually met a Djinn prince, who hurt you all and killed Nya!”
Kai yells at him when he finds out, then hug the life out of him for keeping that a secret
They all dog pile Jay when they find out.
Lloyd gets Jay to finally go to therapy
He gets the others to go as well
