Movie!Lloyd Garmadon’s conflicts an analysis has spoilers

key anything after a 2 is me, as is anything with no Quote in front of it.

 Man vs man sort of Lloyd vs Lord Garmadon, it describes part of their conflict, especially at the start, but then the conflict is negated when they patch up their relationship at the end.  

Quote from Garmacondrai 156848130145/more-snippets-from-the-lego-ninjago-movie.  Well really from usatoday /story/life/movies/2017/02/05/sneak-peek-lego-ninjago-movie-first-look-exclusive/97405104/

It’s about a son having to live with this father who’s a threat to Lego-manity (but) more about the son’s journey of forgiving him and learning to accept him for who he is," Theroux says.

Quote from Garmacondrai 159608298652/me-remembers-that-garmadon-canonically-doesnt#notes Me: *remembers that Garmadon canonically doesn’t care about Lloyd in the Ninjago movie and that we’ll finally get to see Lloyd actually deal emotionally with these issues, but also that the movie is about redemption and acceptance.*

2 Lloyd definitely forgives his dad in the film, as for accepting him for who he is, & being redeemed, the film made that unclear.

I’m not sure what Lloyd accepted his dad as, was it: 1 his dad wasn’t going to change, & was going to stay an evil warlord, his dad’s unchanging nature?  Considering the exchange between them before Lord Garmadon took off with the Ultimate Ultimate Weapon with Lloyd wanting his dad to return to Ninjago City to as father/son to save it from Meowthra & become a hero in the process, while Lord Garmadon disagrees & wants Lloyd to become his General #1 to help him conquer Ninjago City.

But then 1 heartfelt conversation later after Garamadon’s been (is there a term for holding something in one’s mouth but not chewing or swallowing?) well this by the cat, after which Lloyd says he forgives his dad.  

Or 2 Lloyd accepts Lord Garmadon has changed after said heartfelt speech where Garmadon was in a cat’s mouth?

The film is trying to lead me somewhere, but I don’t know where it’s leading me, & the place I can see it leading me has an unconvincing path leading to it.  

I personally don’t feel Lord Garmadon redeemed himself, or does he redeem himself by being a more present father to Lloyd?  Well that’s up to you to decide. 

Did the Lloyd having to earn back his friends’s trust bit ever go anywhere? Granted I can see why team felt more betrayed/angry at Lloyd & buddied up to Lord Garamdon even though Lord Garmadon was ultimately the one who directed Meowthra to destroy their mechs. Fighting with Lord Garamdon isn’t personal for rest of the ninja like it is for Lloyd, but Lloyd “betraying” them, hello [Cartesian Karma] despite being a very unintended consequence is.  

Man vs nature feel like this could have applied to the ninja team as a whole, somewhat.  Granted the ninjas aren’t supposed to survive nature, but learn from it, as they’re city kids & don’t quite know how to survive outside the comforts/luxuries of the city.

Or not quite vs nature, not quite vs machine. More like don’t rely so much on machines/mechs, get back in touch w nature/your natural ie elemental abilities, & use your mind.

Mechs could be seen as really pretty crutches from this light. Hindering the Ninjas development of their natural abilities, thus necessitating their destruction/temporary/permanent removal.

Man vs self Lloyd clearly has some internal conflicts going on. Lloyd is likely ashamed of Lord Garmadon being his dad at the start, as everyone ostracizes him for being the son of Lord Garmadon.  quote “Honestly, I would happily give up being the Green Ninja if it meant I didn’t have to be the son of Garmadon.” Ie “I would give up the identity that people love me in to no longer be hated.” Or “I don’t want to fight my dad anymore.” But he also craves Lord Garmadon’s acknowledgement, wants him in his life.

Quote Garmacondrai 156990220210/ok-ok-but-like-ive-watched-this-trailer-like-10#notes. If a kid is abandoned by their parent, you’re gonna swing either way. You will either hate them and want nothing to do with them ever again no matter what they do to try to mend the bond, or you will miss them and want them back, and blame yourself for them leaving. I feel like Lloyd favours the latter.  

2 I agree except for Lloyd blaming himself for Lord Garmadon leaving. Really Koko why didn’t you tell Lloyd you’re the one who left to give Lloyd a better future?!

Quote spacecocosaurus 165604053883/next-point-i-want-to-talk-aboutlloyds-growth-in, You can’t choose where you come from, but you can choose to accept and embrace it.

Quote Found My Place - Oh, Hush! feat. Jeff Lewis (Official Lyric Video) PFQs2iHi3Ew.  With our main man Lloyd. (* that’s me) double l-o-y-d. my dad is bad but ya we still family,

2 I suppose the ending could be read as Lloyd accepting Lord Garamdon as his father, & no longer being ashamed of it like Koko hinted at in her confrontation with Garmadon on the tower. I’m just confused on what Lloyd accepted about Lord Garmadon himself. 

Maybe someone will count how many times & where Lloyd refers to Lord Garmadon by either Dad or his surname to denote his change in feelings towards him. 

Man vs society part of this explains why Lloyd has mixed feelings on his dad. Everyone hates him for being Garmadon’s son, likely seeing him as a scapegoat for all the feelings they can’t express to Lord Garmadon. So Lloyd can’t say intimidate the people who bother him into not bothering him, because it’d just justify their misguided preconceptions about him: his dad is bad & so is he, that & there’s too many people to intimidate.

This could have played into a try hard attitude as the Green Ninja, with Lloyd daydreaming being able to reveal himself & get accepted that way.  Using 1 identity to wash away the “sins“ of the other. But nothing like that happens in the film.  Unless the film was trying to imply this attitude/mindset when Lloyd took the Ultimate Weapon, but which I read as an act born of desperation.

bonus Found My Place - Oh, Hush! feat. Jeff Lewis (Official Lyric Video) PFQs2iHi3Ew critique/questions. .

I knew I was strong, 2 did they, especially Lloyd or the team?

With our main man Lloyd. (* that’s me) double l-o-y-d.  ….  Just me & my clique. & our mechs look sick.

2 They don’t when they’re totaled by meowthra.

Lloyd the legend of the ninja lives, well it’s just too bad that his dad is garmadon. Yeah he’s evil but he loves his kids, ya he’s so savage.

2 If Garmadon actually has more than 1 neglected kid, I’m flipping.

Koko big shouts to the mama that can make it on her own with a legendary son at home.

2 Who is Lloyd being considered Legendary by?

We the best & you know we ain’t braggin! 

2 I guess when you’re considered best by default.

… Now I found my place with lord garmadon, now I fit in, I’m comfortable in my skin, I’m throwing caution to the wind. 

2 I suppose you did that Lloyd when you revealed your alter ego/secret identity as the Green Ninja.

Project Rebuild

Hey random person on the internet reading this! 

Did you watch the Lego Ninjago Movie and were unable to help but feel like the trailers sold you a very different product? Did the Lego Ninjago Movie feel lacking in any way, as though many scenes were cut from the finished movie? Did you feel that the other Ninja, or anyone without "Garmadon" in their name, were given the shaft in terms of character development, or any substantial characterization? 

I feel you, reader. I feel you as keenly as one feels a stray, unsuspecting brick on the floor when the lights are out.

Last question, are you looking for quality Ninjago content? Then look no further! I've got you covered! Welcome to Project Rebuild! 

What is Project Rebuild, you ask? It's my script rewrite of the Lego Ninjago Movie. My goal is to condense the essence of 7 seasons (EDIT: Now 8) of the tv show into one cohesive story, while following the basic plot of the Lego Ninjago Movie. 

But wait! There's more! Tirelessly seeking out all promotional material for the movie, (i.e. trailers, junior novel, the "Making of Lego Ninjago Movie" book, etc.) I have struggled to reconstruct (pun intended) this cohesive story with as many deleted concepts as I could fit in. It's an adaptation distillation, if you will. 

Oh and this just in! As an added bonus, I’ll be attempting to incorporate the toys sets into the story too. 

Here's the synopsis: Lloyd Garmadon, the Chosen One, stands at the center of the battle between good and evil. As the Green Ninja, he is beloved by all as the constant savior of the city of Ninjago. But as the son of the Evil Lord Garmadon, he is hated by the very same citizens he saves. Under the guidance of the wise Master Wu, Lloyd and his team, the Secret Ninja Force, will need all the help they can get to keep it together and defend the city from Lord Garmadon and greater threats.
