What do you think the Ninjago Pilot episodes?
The long before time sceane is just so freeking iconic
3:00 It is a line used from the audition
Ah the Ninjago Pilot, as a kid I remember this being my first impression for Lego as a whole and getting obsessed with Ninjago back then. Checking the official website, finding the shorts that followed the pilot, The Weeken Whip by The Fold, Kai being my favorite character. The younger me didn't understand what a pilot was so they considered this Season 1 with the next two seasons as the Season 2 lmoa. Kai's training montage, him pulling out the Sword of Fire, & Shadow Garmadon are things that I remember fondly. It was just a good simple introduction to the whole world.
As a long off topic side note cause I want to talk a bit about my Ninjago as a whole, I stopped watching fully at Season 5 and was satisfied without seeing anything further as a kid, of course there are objectively really good things that came afterwards like Cole's development being the stand out but it's more or less something I just split from my original experience, add the things I liked to my own headcanon & throw out a lot of the Crystallized. Also gotta say, The Ghost Whip is probably my favorite remix of The Weekend Whip and it just feels weirdly right for a finale for me.
I was literally working on a vid just like this and now I'm scared that if I upload it people will say that I copied this one
But the real question from pilots to me is: why was nya captured in 1st place? Did garmadon know that kai would become the fire ninja and thought he could use her against him? Why didn't he capture Kai himself then? If he didn't know, what other reason would he have?
Dude, Zane intrigued me so much in the old seasons! I was extremely interested in his six sense ability and his inability to understand humor. This guy is the definition of “Mystery”!
Just started rewatching last week
I am currently on episode 7 season 1
I really felt nostalgic watching the pilots, they are iconic 😍
What if for April fools, crusty makes an entire video about how he absolutely loves crystallized and how it perfectly portrayed Nya and Lloyd’s characters
It’s such a shame u can’t find the pilots almost anywhere. Imagine a new person getting into the she on Netflix and they think rude of the snakes is the first episode they would be so confused
At least on YouTube u can still get it as they combined it with season 1.
10:28 that made me laugh
JUMP UP, KICK BACK, WHIP AROUND AND SPIN!!!!
There has not passed a single day where i didn't think about that jay line
there is actuelly a third format to the pilots and that format is a 44 minute special
the good old days when kai was the main character of the show
did my guy just gain 1000 subs in like 2 days
3:00 this part was actually his original voice that was deemed inappropriate but this line was left in on accident
It's a good start to the show, it isnt too overwhelming or boring. The writers just laid a good foundation for the show
One of my favorite episodes.
I miss when the show wasnt the Lloyd 60% of the time
I like how the thumbnail changed like 2 times LOL great video tho!
If jay lost his voice for ever then it would not be entertaining
Ninjago The Pilots Beginning of Ninjago was Really Great Love How Kai, Jay, Zane and Cole were Done really Great The Golden Weapons were Awesome to See Master Wu And Nya were Great Samukai and his Skeleton Army were Done really Great and the Cliffhanger at the End was Awesome to See 9/10 for Me Loved The Pilots Beginning of Ninjago
i need to see you speak about the season where lloyd becomes golden ninja for the first time or the season where the boys fight the Great Devourer we need season analysis done by you
This just came to my mind but does anyone think else think cole should have stayed a ghost for i really enjoyed it because he had to adapt to living as a ghost so i would i loved to have seen more of ghost cole but what does everyone else think?
3:01 bro that's hilarious
I love how the final season failed so badly, they managed to sideline the literal second character ever introduced.
when the 2 episode pilot season is better then the 30 episode season that is supposed to end the whole entire series
One thing I never hear talked about the pilots that I absolutely love is how Garmadon was handled, particularly his voice acting. I enjoy his later, more bombastic iterations, but pilot Garmadon is just perfect. A brilliant combination of menacing yet suave. It's a cold and calculating take on his character that had never been replicated since.
0:55 „Detailwise it‘s pretty basic, but the colors here are really great and there is a beauty in this simplicity.“ That‘s my way of describing the pilots: They’re basic, but all the plot elements work and their simplicity is kind of charming.
3:02 Slight mistake here: That line wasn‘t recorded by Paul Dobson, but instead by another voice actor whose name I don‘t recall. All I know is: He unfortunately isn’t alive anymore and one of his latest appeareances was an old man in one scene in „Master of the Mountain“. Please correct me if I got anything wrong.
Ah yes, I've forgot how hairy Kai's chest was back then.
its a classic !
11:10 where did you get that image from?
Bro how many times you gonna change the tittle or thumbnail 😅
”why am i still black?”
I think the German Voices are way Better especially from Wu
I dont remember if this is true or not but i remember hearing that Wus voice was originally going to be a stereotypical mr miyagi type voice, but they decided against it later on and dubbed him over. So that is why sometimes he sounds like he normally does and sometimes we get "FATHA WOULD NOT WANT YOU TO DO DIS BROTHA!!" Because they forgot to dub over EVERY line.
One of the best things about roots was that the key was combining the weapons as it subverts our expectations based on rules from the pilots
