Exactly I’m a huge Jay fan but it makes sense that he leaves and would obviously lose to nya he has no past memories meaning he doesn’t have his fighting skills or proper use of his element plus what would ras need a powerless , no memory person anyway
It’s due to misplaced expectations due to the sets. The sets created all this hype for Jay when in show never meant to have Jay play a big role in the tournament and was just set up
@ tbh that’s just buns cus then why not mention pepper like skylar and Karloff and turner they are fan favourites of elements who we don’t know either died or even got their powers passed on like u telling me the element balance made the cut for the tournament and not metal,speed and amber ??
That's asuming he will get an arc. He went from working for the Administration to working from Ras completly offscreen. He left the tournament and it wasn't clear if he is still under Ras orders or if he was completly kicked out of the group.
I thought it was fun because I'm here for character rather than action. I really liked part 1 with the dragons, Arin's insecurities and inadequacy problems coming to the forefront, and seeing Wyldfyre be nice while still being arrogant. Season 2 was also a blast - I loved all the elements and matches. I really think Jay will be a massive part of Season 3 after being left behind like that - other than that I love the Arin and Sora stuff, Lloyd is a blast and Frak was such a highlight ...IF THEY DON'T GIVE CINDER A BACKSTORY, I WILL START MAKING THINGS UP.
agreed, as far as character goes, S2 part 1 was pretty great. I never had any issues with the training arc, and I loved the Bonzle arc. (I'll admit, Gandalaria dragged a lot, but I adored her, so it did not bother me) Overall, I think Dr S2 has got to be the beat Ninjago season imo. I say that as someone who likes Posession the best
If Jay would have stayed in the tournament, Arin would not have joined ras, but Trying to get jay to be good again and get back his parents (which btw, I don't think ras actually knows where they are)
nice theory about the monastaries, however when an unused song that was going to be the dragonrising intro (called 'feels good to be a ninja' iirc) was released, we found out from the lyrics that there are 16 monastaries
8:36 When you said this doesn't have an impact on Sora, Riyu, or Arin, I think that was the point, at least for Arin. Ras makes note of that when he catches him and beats him up at the end of part 1, and it's a big reason why Arin joins Ras at the end of part 2
Starting to think this guy is way too nit picky like the ninja aren’t gonna learn a very old and extremely hard technique in just 2 episodes like it’s not even based on strength like spinjitsu or airjutsu , the first part of the season is pretty good cus u slowly see how they progress, my one nitpick is how arin was just constantly blaming his losses on Lloyd even though his objective spinjitsu is so easy considering everytime he’s done it he had a flashback of the last time he did it , and how the ninja were very nerfed in the tournament not being able to use their accumulated experiences to beat everyone but I guess that’s just plot
She had a connection to Kai since she was his sister and then Riyu who we all know is a source dragon energized her allowing her to open the rift using the dragon ivory and bring him back. We saw this was possible with part 1 Ras needed bonzo because she was the spell that trapped the forbidden five so she was the thing that could connect the rift to ninjago. There was no way else to bring the 5 back because all the people connected to the 5 were locked in the forbidden realm.
You know when you said it out loudly i thought the elementals of reflex and balance were weird too. But considering the elemental powers come from the source dragons and the dragon we met this season being the source dragon of motion. It actually makes more sense now. With one of the other source dragons mentioning that that lloyd was one of his too we could probably figure out the main dragon archetypes the other elemental powers came from. Like how quake and earth are related or fire and heat!
I hate how people are mad that jay will be getting a longer villain arc with possibly more consequences, stop thinking about your fantasies the writers know that they’re doing! Jay will have more screen time this was simply a cameo, a hint of his true villain arc
@@glimmerstantroop46321 True, this might come out of nowhere but him saying that you always hate her really caught me off guard and I was like whoa whoa whoa slow down but just let me catch my breath😅
Ok I just want to point out a few things Tom because I think you’re missing some points on this season… 1. The other dragon master besides Eggalt is called Rantu 2. You’re wrong about none of the characters getting development in Season 2 Part 1 as other TH-camr have discovered what the writers have been doing to some of the ninja. For example, BendoBricks has done videos explaining Sora, Lloyd and Arin’s arcs so far and Crusty783 explained how Dragons Rising Season 2 has made Kai the best he’s been in years. Maybe give those videos a watch and your mind might be changed. 3. The snail leader is called Zant-Tanz and his elemental power is actually PLANTS, not nature. 4. Just a guess, but maybe the design team wanted some of the ninja’s masks to be their secondary colours while other’s are their main colours. Although I wish they just picked one or the other. 5. While yes you notice Tox, Mr Pale and Neuro in the Tournament, you missed Camille (aka the Master of Form).
I'd like it mainly because I never even knew I needed to see fugi dove acting like a cat tull now but that was a fantastic way to bring him back but I am looking forward to seeing how Jay is gonna get his memory back
17:23 I think that she is just like Beatrix so in Lloyd's visions earlier in the season it would mislead us into thinking his visions were about Beatrix and not Zeatrix.I didn't like Zeatrix's character though like she was just angry at the ninja for no reason
DR S2 P1 was the Closest we'll get to A Peak Kai Season since S5. Although S7 is also a Kai Season, he didn't get much development aside from wanting his parents. S11 barely focused on him at all
I think its okay that the sora arin and riyu never get to what they were training for it just shows that not everything can be done in such a small time
Ngl this feels way more like a summary of season 2 than it does an actual review of the season. A review should go way more in depth, compared to this video which just recaps stuff anyone who watched the season would know.
1 Chima is in the Realm, not the realm is Chima, maybe review what happened in Chima seasons, before you make faulty assumptions 2 the forever rock was like an inside joke between the kids of the tribes, and calling it a landmark is an overstatement 3 they had 3 vertical segments, they should have placed them all in one frame or extend the aspect ration, I hate vertical content. 4 the Ninja got new outfits because that was the next suits in line, and Lloyd was busy with wolves in his head, my theory is the ninja have a closet of suits they have ahead of time, so anytime they need new ones, they just grab from the stock 5 why did they write Lloyd to be a little piece of wet -------, especially after seeing the world ripped apart , he is most worried about some wolves in his nightmares, my advice to him :grow up you weak little ----- 6 what some see character development, some will see as character assassination, if the writers wanted an allegory for mental health, use a new character, not one who has faced evil in the face and survived 7 Geo. -------- well queerbaiting worked out for Disney, right... parents brought Ninjago back into this world, they can take it right out, 8 Bonzle says she is not a just a spell, but at the end of the day she is a complex spell to lock away the forbidden five, her feelings mean nothing when it comes for what she was created to do, you cant escape reality 8 the writers are setting up the administration, Dorrama, and Rapton for each of their own things , they are being set up gradually, this will all look brilliant when the payoff comes 9 who let a tournament to honor source dragons be run by someone who doesn't believe they exist 10 Zeatrix already has a model , they did it for a reason though
Hey there, Tom!! I really like your content and wanted to use it as inspiration to create my own - except in my native language - so I'm asking if that's ok. I'd do season reviews such as yours, except with my own opinions, style, character and editing. I'd also always add the fact you're my inspiration in the description of both my channel and videos. I hope you're OK with that. I'd probably also not be as successful lol My content would also be 100% Ninjago so yeah
Honestly I feel like season 2 part 1 is a lot better then then season 2 part and shatterspin and the gong of shattering is not a dumb name!! And plus rise of the snakes, has the four original ninja spending almost an entire season, trying to unlock the potential and finding out who the green ninja is and you’re complaining in season two part two ninja spend entire season training on how to unlock rising Dragon technique?
Why are you done with Lego vids, what about the future seasons of Ninjago? I'm gonna really misd your lego vids loved them Tom or formerly known as L bow grease
But IF we see coal and geo kiss nope we are going to make that episode that it MIGHT happen in the soul reason why that season is absolutely going to be in the “episodes that make the season trash and now the season is trash” group
What about when season 3 comes out will you make videos then? You make my favourite ninjago videos ever and I am sad to see that you aren’t making Lego videos any more but that’s your decision and I support it nonetheless 😢😊
my favorite part of season 2 was bringing back the tournament of elements which fits in great because of new elements like fusion, tech, and shockwave? (idk what Nokt’s power is, either i didn’t listen to the show or it wasn’t said)
@@shatterlogy actually now that i think about it i wasn't really looking at his character as a whole, i think i was pretty blind to his situation and the way he expresses his doubt towards lloyd as a teacher which very much is justified looking at his circumstances 😭

TBH DR season 2 is still my favourite Ninjago Season
U missed the point of Jay leaving early. He left because it was setting his arc up. S2P2 was NOT about jay. It was a cameo

@ why wouldn’t it be considered a source element ? All elements come from them so it’s just bad writing
That's asuming he will get an arc. He went from working for the Administration to working from Ras completly offscreen.
He left the tournament and it wasn't clear if he is still under Ras orders or if he was completly kicked out of the group.
In my opinion, this season was great
Agreed, while part 2 was a weird change, I still enjoyed it.
Same here I love this season

Why would they know where a random child’s parents are
nice theory about the monastaries, however when an unused song that was going to be the dragonrising intro (called 'feels good to be a ninja' iirc) was released, we found out from the lyrics that there are 16 monastaries
probably for the 16 realms, a monastery for each realm?
@@mentallynoelgruber 17 realms in total tho (and we know the fsm didn't create all of the realms, just some)

Jay left because he will be one of main Villains in Season 3, this is just so ninjas know what happened to him
Finally, I’m not the only one who’s disappointed that Jay leaves immediately!!
Most people got upset at that
But I think it was good
U missed the point of Jay leaving early. He left because it was setting his arc up. S2P2 was NOT about jay. It was a cameo

Omg I was not expecting that at the end! Make more videos when season 3 comes out
Ok I just want to point out a few things Tom because I think you’re missing some points on this season…
1. The other dragon master besides Eggalt is called Rantu

5. While yes you notice Tox, Mr Pale and Neuro in the Tournament, you missed Camille (aka the Master of Form).
Bro I swear that Raz master is the overlord
If that's true, I will hop off a bridge, I hate that guy
Considering the names of the Smoke Masters. I feel tempted to make a Thomas Joke.
He just retold the entire season but no review 😂
L= lightning
I= ice
F= fire
E= earth
Maybe Lloyd's powers are called LIFE because it's a combination of the four elements.
Dang good observations
I'd like it mainly because I never even knew I needed to see fugi dove acting like a cat tull now but that was a fantastic way to bring him back but I am looking forward to seeing how Jay is gonna get his memory back
17:23 I think that she is just like Beatrix so in Lloyd's visions earlier in the season it would mislead us into thinking his visions were about Beatrix and not Zeatrix.I didn't like Zeatrix's character though like she was just angry at the ninja for no reason
she’s as conceited as her own twin and they’re two cheeks of the same ass 💀
So you're not going to review the rest of dragons rising and future ninjago shows?
It's a darn shame really.
Wait WHAT
I would love to see more content on this every 6 months when each new season and part comes out these are some of my favourite ninjago videos ever
@@sammyrissogill same
This is my childhood this tv show…….
You say that like Millions of people don't have the same chilhood tv Show
7:20 I know he said Lotiers But im going to pretend he said "Lloyd is"
Part 1 is one of the best seasons in ninjago and so is part 2
15:55 brute force's? Im sure this isnt foreshadowing.
I only got back into Ninjago like 5 weeks ago how much time was between the part 1 & 2 drops?
I’m surprised you didn’t comment on Mr.Pale’s face reveal 😂 but good video
DR S2 P1 was the Closest we'll get to A Peak Kai Season since S5. Although S7 is also a Kai Season, he didn't get much development aside from wanting his parents. S11 barely focused on him at all
Don't forget when season 3 came out
When did you find it?
I think its okay that the sora arin and riyu never get to what they were training for
it just shows that not everything can be done in such a small time
Yes you right they did jay dirty i hope jay will be season 3
Nostalgia+good stuff together
Ngl this feels way more like a summary of season 2 than it does an actual review of the season. A review should go way more in depth, compared to this video which just recaps stuff anyone who watched the season would know.
1 Chima is in the Realm, not the realm is Chima, maybe review what happened in Chima seasons, before you make faulty assumptions
2 the forever rock was like an inside joke between the kids of the tribes, and calling it a landmark is an overstatement
3 they had 3 vertical segments, they should have placed them all in one frame or extend the aspect ration, I hate vertical content.
4 the Ninja got new outfits because that was the next suits in line, and Lloyd was busy with wolves in his head, my theory is the ninja have a closet of suits they have ahead of time, so anytime they need new ones, they just grab from the stock
5 why did they write Lloyd to be a little piece of wet -------, especially after seeing the world ripped apart , he is most worried about some wolves in his nightmares, my advice to him :grow up you weak little -----
6 what some see character development, some will see as character assassination, if the writers wanted an allegory for mental health, use a new character, not one who has faced evil in the face and survived
7 Geo. -------- well queerbaiting worked out for Disney, right... parents brought Ninjago back into this world, they can take it right out,
8 Bonzle says she is not a just a spell, but at the end of the day she is a complex spell to lock away the forbidden five, her feelings mean nothing when it comes for what she was created to do, you cant escape reality
8 the writers are setting up the administration, Dorrama, and Rapton for each of their own things , they are being set up gradually, this will all look brilliant when the payoff comes
9 who let a tournament to honor source dragons be run by someone who doesn't believe they exist
