Here's what's crazy to me; the only canon installments Tommy Andreasen has gotten to write were; Secrets of the Blacksmith, Flight of the Dragon Ninja, The New Masters of Spinjitzu, An Underworldly Takeover, and ALL the "Tales from the Monastery of Spinjitzu" shorts.
Y'know what's CRAZIER? Those are very well-written! They have very interesting ideas, fun ones, ones that dive deeper into the silly side of the show!!! He's responsible for one of the saddest shorts ever, Green and Gold, aka the one where the Ultra Dragon left, and reunited with all the other dragons.
He can write good stories! He's written Way of the Departed on his own! It's so odd to me that he got minimal input from a writing perspective! We could've had Zane PTSD stuff, but he didn't want to force the writers to write something "too dark".
I always assumed Tommy was to blame for a lot of issues with the show, but most of the blame can either be tied back to the writers and/or Lego themselves! Maybe it's his fault that we haven't seen Kai do anything meaningful, but he doesn't HAVE to power to just go "I don't like Kai, he shouldn't get focus".
