#its all a mess
Need help from the Ninjago fandom
I know that Ninjago subtitles can be confusing when searched online but I haven’t caught up with it in a while-
Long story short, I just need help being clarified on the subtitles of each season from s11-16 (I know s1-10 by heart <3) but I ive been having trouble getting the new releases straight so…
[also as a sidenote, by “subtitles” I’m referring to the stuff such as “curse of the forbidden spinjitzu”, “seabound”, etc]
Season 11: Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu
Season 12: Prime Empire
Season 13: Master of the Mountain
Season 14: The Island
Season 15: Seabound
Season 16: Crystalized
Tysm!! I was getting google searches that said s14 was seabound wc really confused me since i knew that s16 was crystalized and came right after
Well… technically season 14 is seabound.
The island is a special. Not a season. But when it came out we all treated it like a season cuz it had an intro and no one told us otherwise, so when seabound came around we all called it season 15, before it came out that no, actually the island is a sorta prologue special to seabound making seabound the real season 14. In Legos marketing for crystalized they refer to it as season 15, but a large segment of the fan community has continued to call it season 16 just to avoid confusion with what season we were talking about (because most people still know seabound as season 15, and we didn’t have a title for the new season yet). And also, here on tumblr, for tagging purposes.
So… yeah. That’s why the wiki says seabound is season 14. It is. But for simplicity’s sake a lot of people just ignore it.
Not to mention how everything post wildbrain switch is technically a seperate show, and the island and seabound are packaged together as season 3, as seen on Lego’s youtube channel…
Saw your tags and yes, I’m one of the people in the early fandom who treated the pilot as s1 (because it had multiple episodes and everything but no one clarified it WASN’T a season???) Side story, I used to treat the pilot(s) as s1 and ROTS and ROTG as s2 but I just refer to the pilots as the prologue episodes.
Anyway yeah, this IS kinda confusing but I’m happy to know what the community calls it since it’s less confusing that way.
I gotta ask tho, if The Island is a special, is DOTD treated like this also, or no?
No! DOTD has always been understood as a special. And again, it kinda boils down to format confusion. DOTD is 40 minutes long, has no intro, and is all one piece, while the Island, despite being equal length, was released in episode format, leading to the confusion.
As for season 10, people were actively questioning what it was before it came out, because it was only 4 episodes long, but creators clarified pretty quickly that yes, it was a full season, despite being half the length, designed to be viewable as sort of a TV movie if need be.
Which I think is what has lead to the debate over the island, as it’s also 4 episodes long. But those episodes are half the length, so the run time is much closer to that of a special.
Anyway, on tumblr, the current lexicon is definitely season 16 for crystalized. If you go on youtube and call it season 16 you’ll end up with a fierce debate in the comment section that at some point features this link (this has happened to me multiple times). Idk about Twitter though, I tend to stay away from that trash fire.
