I'll never get why Lego felt the need to make Wildbrain change the Mechanic's and Ronin's appearences in accordance to the Ninjago City Gardens set, but couldn't spare that same courtesy for Misako??? Misako has worn the exact same outfit since season 2, and in-universe since the fucking Serpentine War... that reddish-orange jacket would've at LEAST spiced her look up a bit.

It’s honestly a crime that the writing just brushed Syntax’s becoming a Spider under the rug. No, he’s fine with it, don’t worry about it. No we’re not gonna explore this, they’re bad guys and we’re killing them off anyway, don’t worry about it.
There was so much room to explore, especially with how Goliath and Huntsman might’ve felt, but no.
I MEAN RIGHT?
Admittedly it's a running thing with LMK to IMPLY a lot and then look at the audience and say 'no followup questions' with their full chests, (like all of the implications of Red Son's home life being kinda fucked but it barely gets touched upon again after season one despite clear evidence that things aren't all fixed in S3 and we're just supposed to believe everything's aces by S4) And the Spiders i think are probably the most egregious example
the deleted character (rip Spindrax regulated to the shadow relm), one of the characters never gets a dedicated episode to see how he acts as an independent agent and that spider doesn't even have a real NAME (which im sure drives you crazy in particular Twinkle) there are IMPLICATIONS of character arcs and backstories and overall POTENTIAL that just got thrown away to show everyone how cool and dangerous LBD was and gave NO hope of rescue.
Back when s2 was airing i thought LMK was sort of like- Building a rogue's gallery- a sort of batman rogues are we type cabal that could keep the adventures fresh and fun and... nope. I would have KILLED for a sort of 'Harley and Ivy' type episode that was focused entirelhy around the spiders, and possibly run it like essentially an Ed Edd N Eddy episode as the spider boys tried running a heist or smth without SQ there to keep them from feeding off of eachother's vibes too hard and it all turning to complete chaos.
LMK has a lot of stylistic influence to Adveture Time, and you can tell they WANT MK to be a Finn type (I mean his place in the mythological system seems to be essentially Finn's Catalyst Comet arc truncated significantly) but you kinda can't make an adventure time style world without understanding that the world belongs just as much to the semi-reformed wizard kidnapping princesses as it does to the hero that kicks him in the boingloins, you know?
and LMK very much belongs ONLY to the Monkie Kid Krew (I mean ive gone on record to say that Tang's arc would have been MUCH more interesting if he WASN'T actually the Monk in a past life and really was Just Some Guy and fully earned his own magic, but that would mean the world was bigger than just the characters designated as important so that couldn't be) and the villains are just pins to set up and knock over in a season and a special's time (if they even get that, sorry Nine Heads)
But as for Huntsman and Goliath's perspectives on Syntax- man i WISH i knew those... I think the ones i like the best are Goliath being... nice but distant to the new guy in like a 'whatever the queen clearly thinks its fine' type way and Hutnsman being like- INSTANTLY thinking Syntax is gunning for his 'position' (whatever it is) and is HYPER aware of him, Syntax is living RENT free in this spider's head because he's CONVINCED that he's after his position in the 'loyalty to the queen' social ladder or smth and meanwhile Syntax, genre savvy as he is is like "oh we're gonna do that thing where we start out as rivals but grow closer to respect eachother and eventually become very close friends and playfully compete with eachother sometimes to keep the spice in the banter! this is fun! ^.^"
Idk sounds like more fun than a pile of dead bodies that don't even get the dignity of being brought back in flashbacks

Thanks for the spider demon content. All i can offer is this screenshot as a thank you
Also what are your hcs for their height gaps?
he's definitely a honk shoo kind of guy to me... splendid. thank you u_u !
as a token of my gratitude i offer you: the Speight Chart
I also like to think Spider Queen is a little taller than Syntax when she's not in her spider mech thing.
woe, bonus age headcanons go!
- Syntax: it makes sense that he would be the youngest since he was turned into a spider demon far later than anyone else was. but he's like... late 20's to early 30's. adult man.
- Huntsman: in contrast: OLD MAN. i still like to think he was turned from a human into a spider demon as well but like hes probs been a spider demon for a while. also physically like idk 40 ? probably? im not good with numbers
- Goliath: (way) older than Syntax, younger than huntsman. because of the whole Being A Spider Demon Thing. he is squashed in the middle u_u
- Spider Queen: also of course she is just the oldest by nature of being The Spider Queen. it makes sense to me

Now that I actually am watching one of the early reviews.
I'm hoping the Night Hunter gets a small rework in future sets and gets his hook included. Its so odd how the irl lego figure does not have the hook, even though in the series and even on the interactive map. His model has the hook, its literally included everywhere BUT ON THE ACTUAL LEGO FIGURE. EXPLAIN THIS LEGO.

Being sad and staring off dramatically into the distance while on a cliff is a whole mood.
And I think that it's a mood Wukong has often
