This page has episodes from both "Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu" (2011) and the newer "Ninjago". Please fix this! As for the actual "Ninjago" show, the short runtime episodes hurt the story's pacing and the writing has really taken a turn for the worse, especially in the first season. You'll have moments where characters summarise the plot of a whole previous episode followed by several quick cuts to different parts of a sort-of complex story. It feels like it's imitating the structure of Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu without the time needed to actually have it work. Honestly, aside from a few callbacks to old villains and plot points, this could be its own show entirely separate from Ninjago's brand. There are barely any ties to Masters of Spinjitzu and nothing that's really built upon from its conflicts. The characters are shown to be the "same" but share very little traits with their older counterparts, and this show seems to be heading in its own direction in terms of building upon what they do have. Losing the connection to Masters of Spinjitzu, this show is actually pretty decent. Though the first season feels like plot all crammed into an eleven-minute runtime, the remaining seasons seem to find a nice groove that can be quite charming; in fact, I would have probably enjoyed it very much as a kid. LEGO Ninjago will always hold a special place in my heart, so I hope this series can do it justice moving forward.
