Me after watching "Return of the Ice Emperor": ...So does Zane just have the ice emporer chillin in the back of his memory like a second personality

Poll cause I’m curious while watching it

Cause genuinely I like it but a lot of the missed opportunities and stupid useless plot points make me mad.

Alright, we got potentially amazing character development for Zane by exploring his trauma in a season/episode...

Let's give his trauma a joke episode-

“Ah, there you are. I was worried you would miss early feast.” SkekSo would turn to the human approaching, gazing his eyes upon Their form casted in a dark purple and soft orange robe. A satisfied smile lifts his beak. “And you look divine, might I add.”

Mika would attempt to hide a blush from the compliment of the emperor himself. Of course, their relationship couldn’t exactly be as open as Mika would’ve liked as this had to be behind curtains for PR sake. Especially with the other Lords and Gelfling. Too many prying eyes. But; when it did come down to it, Mika loved the attention SkekSo gave them. “Thank you, love. It.. means a lot from you.” He would slide their hands between his palms to hold it.

“Ah. I only say what is obvious, my dear. I am sure that you took your time to look as wonderful as possible.” He would motion his other free hand to follow him. “Come. We shouldn’t be late for morning routine.” With that, the two would begin to make strides towards the main dining hall where troves of servants would be placing down amounts of food. Of course, it always made Mika nervous sitting around the other lords, but, as a official close advisor to SkekSo, he earned their place supposedly. Of course, he never did like the prying eyes of SkekSil watching them…

No because I very much agree with you. Crystalized, in my opinion, was one of the WORST seasons in the show. It had A LOT of potential to be so extraordinary but then they just ruined it…

When the season came out I was really excited in the beginning but when I finished it I just felt empty.

Also, Lloyd only staying in his oni form for like 30 seconds pissed me off so much. I think they should have kept his oni form till the end of the battle with the Overlord because it would have shown that two contrasting species, dragon (the ninja and their powers) and oni (Lloyd) can come together to defeat evil itself. That was a huge missed opportunity for me.

The more I think about Crystalized, the more all that wasted potential and all those missed opportunities and all those weird story choices actually kill me. Why did Zane still just... leave his emotion meter off after getting Nya back that always confused me. Why did Kai and Nya only interact TWICE in the entire fucking season??? Why didn't they like, add some cool new Overlord lore or. Give him a personality/actual motives! Also all the random bullshit they threw in is kinda weird. Why did we get to see the all-powerful Dragon Form, but barely any Oni Form??? WHY the FUCK can the ninja, with non-dragon heritage, become dragons ??????
