#May I direct you to ninjago’s actual worse parent in the whole world

We do not talk about Skylor enough actually, she has so much untapped potential. She’s like, the only character to be properly raised as a villain.

She was literally stuck on and island and the only people in her life were actual power hungry cultists. With every other character who have evil parents or became villains, they had at least some good, or at least normal influences in their life. With every character that had the potential to become evil(and in some cases, went through with it

Lloyd went to school with albeit bad boys, but they were just children and had been kind in the end, and his father, although evil, always wanted Lloyd to become good. And then Lloyd was adopted by the ninja and taught how to become a hero.

Harumi faced loss but at some point she knew what it meant to be heroic, and even if her living situation with Ninjago royalty wasn’t great, she had people at least attempting to show kindness to her, such as Hutchins.

Vania was raised by villains as well, but that villainy was kept a secret even from her. It seems her relationship with her father might’ve been completely flawless, he even invited her heroes, the ninja, just for her birthday.

My point is that so many characters were raised with major villainous influences but Skylor is unique in that she likely never knew any other options. Unlike every other character, when presented the choice to be good or evil, Skylor wouldn’t have even been able to make an informed choice.

I wish there was more focus on Skylor, learning how everything she knew about her father and the world was a lie. I mean Ik it would be a bit much for the Lego show to show us the incredibly real issues around cults like that, but as a fandom, I feel like we don’t think about Skylor’s trauma in the same way we do with other characters.
