Before the review begins, I must give a SPOILER ALERT for Ninjago in case you have not seen it.
Overview:
The episode starts at the Monastery of Spinjitzu, where the ninja have become lazy and are playing video games, until news comes that Lord Garmadon has returned. So the ninja dash off to Jamanakai Village, only to find that it is not Garmadon but his son Lloyd, who wants to steal all the sweets in town.
The ninja soon deal with Lloyd, but before they leave they find a scroll containing the prophecy of the Green Ninja. They start becoming competitive, so when they get back they hold a tournament where the last ninja standing becomes the Green Ninja. At first it goes all right, but then Kai nearly burns down the monastery and Sensei Wu is not happy.
After his defeat, Lloyd leaves the village and comes across a strange lever in the ground. He pulls it and falls into a tomb full of Serpentine. Lloyd manages to take control of the Hypnobrai general, returns to the village with them and takes control of the villagers.
The ninja soon learn about this and head back to the village along with Nya to try to get the general’s staff. In the process, they learn that the Hypnobrai can hypnotise you. While fighting them, Cole is hypnotised by a snake called Skales, but nothing happens because he is distracted. Since he is holding the staff, he puts it in the fountain, curing all the villagers.
Our thoughts:
We thought this was a good way to introduce the Serpentine as villains and Lloyd for the first time.
