I don't know if this is just a nostalgia thing but I absolutely loved Legacy of the Green Ninja. It truly feels like the imposing threat of Garmadon that has been lurking the entire show is finally coming out of the woodworks for his final battle. The tension is high, I loved all the character interactions leading up to it, and the final battle will always mark my childhood. It really just felt like the perfect pay off for what we had of the series at the time. I felt content with it ending there as I watched it. Obviously I'm happy it didn't but yeah.

My personal favorite is tournament of elements. It was a very entertaining season with only few flaws. Chen was such a great villain and it had such an awesome story!

The crystalized finale has a bright side, they literally froze Aspheera's mouth shut, to quote Kai, "If I have to hear that one more time".

Don’t sleep on Rebooted! I know people hate on the love triangle… but that took up MAYBE 5 minutes of the entire season. And it led to a cool Jay/Cole confrontation in TotE. There’s so much other good. Pythor’s return, Garmadon and Lloyd moments, Pixal’s introduction, the Golden Master prophesy. As well as the ninja gaining the ability to channel their powers from their hands… I think people forget that they couldn’t do that until Rebooted. There’s a lot of lore added. Sure, the space plot was a little silly, but the ninja kind of acknowledge that they don’t belong in space. It was a very clever way for the Overlord to get what he wanted. And don’t get me started on Zane’s sacrifice. Easily one of the best moments in Ninjago EVER. The music, line delivery, and visuals all combine to really show the development that Zane has gone through. Going against what is logical, going against the “numbers”. Gives me chills every time. Visually, the season is a step up from the ones before. The animation is more refined. The music is stunning, remixing some old tracks with more digital sounds for a new feel, while retaining that old feel. I love Rebooted!

My personal favorite season is Posession! I think they did an amazing job at writing Morro, and it showed exactly what Kai would’ve been if he hadn’t accepted that he wasn’t meant to be the green ninja. He’s my favorite villain apart from Garmadon. And besides, it added the concept of the 16 realms, which is really cool!

Possession is the best. It’s short in the sense it doesn’t over stay it’s welcome with filler. tonally consistent. An intimidating villain. Shakes up the ninjas dynamic by not having Lloyd around and left changes that will last past season 5 with the likes of Cole and Nia.
It’s our first proper introduction to Ronin and the story is just simply tight.
It’s not perfect, but again, the season is short, so we don’t spend too much time with weaker aspects of the story. (Like cloud kingdom)

Personally my favorite season is Skybound. I know Skybound is a relatively controversial season. Some people love it and others hate it. Well I love Skybound! You wouldn’t think Jay wouldn’t work as the main character of a season since he’s usually just the comic relief but they managed to pull it off. Jay still feels like Jay even when he’s more than just a comic relief and he’s a great main character. We even learn in Skybound that the only reason he makes so many jokes is because it’s his coping mechanism (something I very much relate to). Also I know a lot of people don’t like the jail stuff but it only lasts one episode and the ninja learn stuff they need to in order to stop Nadakhan (also it’s 1000 times better than the jail stuff in crystallized).

I love how they explored Jay and Nyas relationship. Skybound has some of the most heart wrenching moments of the entire series. Nadakhan is one of the best villains the show has ever had. The show has been teasing him returning for like five seasons now. I’m not sure if I want him to return or not but if they could pull it off I would be all for him returning but after the mess that was crystallized I’m not sure if they could pull it off or not😂.

Anyway The last thing I want to mention about Skybound is the ending. I know a lot of people don’t like the ending but I absolutely love it. People don’t like the ending because it makes the whole season “it was just a dream” type of thing but a “it was just a dream” ending isn’t always a bad thing. Everything that happened in Skybound still happened it’s just that no one remembers it outside of Jay and Nya and that’s fine. Jay and Nya are the only one’s that need to remember it because the entire season revolved around them. They still have all the character development they got in the season (even if some of the seasons after Skybound just throws all there character development away but that’s a different conversation). Also if Jay hadn’t made his last wish Nadakhan would have won.

Every time I rewatch the ending of Skybound it makes me cry a little bit. Nya saying “I guess all the greatest love stories do end in tragedy” and then dying makes me cry every time. I remember Jay’s last wish caught me so offguard the first time I watched Skybound but I loved it even when I first watched it. All of this is why Skybound is my favorite season and it always will be

Hot take : I really liked season 5 probably because Moro is my favorite villan but when I was younger the weapons intrigued me the sword of sanctuary was awesome and the deep stone blade things were also interesting and gave the ninja a good edge in fights with the ghosts kai took charge in that season aswell and he was amazing at that role every episode I was getting excited to see a Moro vs Kai rematch absolutely amazing the childhood memories this season gave me will always be with me

[kylmiii]

Personally my favourite was Master of The Mountain
-Cole had so much character development throughout the season and quickly became my favourite Ninja
-There was a mystery element to Lily which was very intriguing
-The animation in Master of The Mountain was the best the series has ever had
-Cole's arc I can personally relate to
-Wu's arc was also very compelling

[aguy]

If you don’t like Crystalized so much. Do you think you could do a video where you talk about how you’d change or rewrite/restructuring of the season?

[whatdoyoumeanbro]

Maybe I'm blinded by nostalgia but season 2 is definetley B tier, seeing Garmadon get possessed by the Overlord was one of the darkest moments in the season and the final battle was fun too. Lloyd becoming the ultimate spinjitzu master will forever be one of the most iconic moments in the history of the entire series. The stone army were cool too

[etbrickproductions]

My personal favourite season of Ninjago is Sons Of Garmadon. The season is just so well written and I feel like every character had something to do especially Lloyd, Zane, and Cole. The fight scenes are also top notch as the fight with Lloyd and Garmadon has so much emotion and is extremely well choreographed. The animation had a massive boost compared to Hands Of Time and the soundtrack is really good as always. The Sons Of Garmadon themselves are very fun to watch and Harumi has one of the most tragic and interesting backstories as it made the season one finale have more consequences and casualties which was lacking during that battle. So overall, I love Sons Of Garmadon. As for my least favourite season, probably Crystalized. Pretty self explanatory.

[Atsomri]

Never let bro cook again if he says season 2 is D tier

[Brixxter]

Just judging the show, my favorite will have to be Skybound. It's dark and brilliant. However, a big part of my perception of the seasons are the sets, and Skybound was honestly one of if not the worst season when it comes to that. Looking at both the show and the sets it's 100% Possession for me. Everything about it just works for me.

[DRofYouTube]

season 2. it's brings back nostalgia, and ends on an upbeat note, Ninjago could have just ended there, and I would have just been sad that it ended, of course I love seasons 3-7, zane's sacrifice was the first time I ever cried because of a TV show, I have nostalgia for seasons 1-7 and even kinda season 8 (I'm fine with 9 through 11, but at 12 it felt like they were just milking the series) but if it had ended at season 2, I would have been satisfied, it had a happy ending, and we got to see all of the main characters at their best, they did the final battle, and now we're done. But then we had 3-7, which were absolute joys, but then at 8-11, the redesigns didn't do much for me, and then after season 12 it felt so unnecessary.

[gojicrushers]

honestly my favorite character is Cole. he’s a good parent, he’s funny, he loves cake, but most importantly his character development. it’s want makes him my favorite.

after that is Lloyd for the same reasons the video lol

[foxtoast]

Here me out rebooted is an amazing season think about it it flows perfectly imbetween the final battle and chens island plus’s we got the best sets (in my humble opinion) they introduced new characters such as pixel and Cyrus borg and come on I know for a fact that you loved the Digiverse and that first battle against the overlord in the digiverse was crazy cool and the brought back old characters like scales and pythor! The final fight in this season was a little wacky (with the golden strings) but had real stakes and the sacrifice by Zane let him become even more cool. I know that the elephant in the room is the space episodes but I think that they are pretty bad but every thing else was crazy good plus we got the ninja’a hair in the sets. The Techno blades were such a cool gimmick.
