The Lloyd VS Antigone debate is fucking wild as a Ninjago fan studying classics.

Like, I could go on a rant about the definition and requirements of a tragedy, but itʻs changed in definition over time: currently it means a "serious drama with a sorrowful or disastrous conclusion" (Miriam-Webster). But at the time Antigone was written, it was a strict genre with strict conventions. First there would be a prologue where one or more of the characters introduce the situation. Then the introduction of the characters follows, called the parodos. There are three or more episodes after the parodos, interspersed with stasima (choral interludes explaining or commenting on the situation). The tragedy ends in an exodos, one final choral stand.

Imo, the main difference between their stories would be the presence of hope. Ninjago wasnʻt written to be a tragedy, Lloyd is written to go through all of these traumatic events and still make it out alive and fighting. Sophocles didnʻt write Antigone with the intent for her to survive. If you know the story of Oedipos, Antigone takes place after his self-imposed exile. Itʻs an expansion on the Seven Against Thebes, following Polynikes and Eteokles deaths, covering Antigoneʻs (their sister) struggle against her uncle Kreon and the burial (or the lack of) of Polynikes.

So did Lloyd go through more trauma than Antigone? Yes, that boy is fucked up to high hell. BUT his story wasnʻt meant to be tragic, it was meant to inspire hope in the power of friendship or some other cheesy shit. Itʻs just not a proper comparison.

Thinking about them during philosophy class

[plazsma]

its been like a week. and i. think the most interesting thing to me about the tragic character poll is not that people are questioning why a lego and a classical figure are going to mega mega trauma war (a war so intense that none of the other brackets really had) that is actually not really questioned at all. it was actually just moved on.

when you look at it, its more about the deep rooted cultural histories behind both fandoms, the people that make these fandomsup, the psychology behind character coding in childrens television and how that reflects highly on lloyds character and his trauma(aka funny kid show actually has a young man with a Very miserable life). people wrote essays for both people detailing their lives for propoganda. random people from the Outside who do not care for either people have become shooters for them. how a smallish lego fandom and a huge historic appreciation for historic arts have fought, and then subsequently joined forces. fanart of them made together. them kissing and embracing. them being friends. two random very very very different iconographies who do not make sense. Most Tragic Character Poll is more than a tumblr blog to me it is art. it is internet history

also i think lloyd canonically wouldnt get it he would be like wtf do these words mean
