I hope the more we learn about the source dragons the more they suck. Like morally

But I mean in the same way FSM sucks. I really really really like it when godlike beings are so detached from the reality they created that they're not INTENTIONALLY doing anything bad or harmful, but they simply don't conceptualize right and wrong the same way mortals do

Like. FSM did not talk much to his kids for literal years after the scroll of forbidden spinjitzu incident. That is a canon thing that happened because he's p much god! He's a shitty parent because he has no point of reference! The concept of parenthood is like not a thing for him in the same way, honestly would not be surprised if his main intention for having Wu and Garm was to have someone protect his realm when he died. That's really bad in hindsight! But he was born and there was immediately a war fought for his favor he does not know anything else because he is not mortal!!

Idk that level of detachment when it comes to godlike beings especially those who are meant to represent the concept of "goodness" and creation and all that is far more interesting to me than when they are objectively good and do only good things

#Does this make sense #I might be insane #This trope happens a lot though anyways #often unintentionally #Because it's near impossible to have consistent conflict in a media where there is a “god” who is objectively good #And never does anything morally grey or even sometimes downright wrong #And still have the story make sense #ninjago #lego ninjago #Also ik FSM is supposed to be like. The balance between creation and destruction #But in terms of the realm of Ninjago he's supposed to be the force of light and good in the world whereas the overlord is the bad one #so
