It's probably gonna be just me, but does anyone else wish there could be a scene in the show where resurrected Garmadon saves Lloyd in a volcano?
This might seem like I'm a sucker-for-angst-starving for a callback to Season 1 about their relationship, and that's true. I just really want a reference in the show to when Garmadon saved little Lloyd from falling into lava fifteen seasons ago and start crying as I compare it to the scene in The Green Ninja.
And imagine current Lloyd's emotions when he realizes why this feels so familiar.
Harumi, about Lloyd; I know he's having a miserable time. We have twin-telepathy. It’s like my brain is receiving phone calls from him
Morro: Well, you have a bad connection. Hang up
Harumi: Nuh-uh. I can sense these things. Remember when he broke his leg and I sensed it?
Morro: That’s because you fell on him and broke it
Basically what if current Lloyd meets baby him. Logic is a foreign concept, you have been warned.
Lloyd to his younger self : What on Earth possessed you to get that haircut?
Younger Lloyd : What on Earth possessed you to look like this? Did you fill in your eyebrows or something?
Lloyd : uh, no—
Younger Lloyd cuts him off : and why are your eyes green anyway? Did you put contacts on because you disowned dad? Are...are you ashamed of dad?
Lloyd : .....
Younger Lloyd crosses his arms : Well?
Lloyd : I — I —
Younger Lloyd : yeah, you what?
Lloyd, literally about to break down sobbing : He disowned me!
This was funnier in my head lol.

Garmadon: Lloyd may I ask you something?
Lloyd: Sure thing dad, what’s your question?
Garmadon: What is a “dilf” and why are people calling me that?
*silence*
Garmadon: Lloyd? Lloyd please what is a dilf? Is it a bad thing?
*later*
Lloyd, busting in a room with all the ninja charging an energy ball in his hand: Which one of you fucks have been calling my dad a dilf?
Jay: *wakes up in the morning, goes to the kitchen and stares at the coffee pot*
Jay: Is everyone done with this?
Nya: I think so, why?
Jay: Good, I need a pick-me-up. *goes to the fridge and grabs the last bottle of Zane's cooking wine*
Zane: Jay, I need that for-
Jay: *pours all the wine into the leftover coffee and swirls the pot to mix it*
Jay: *stares at the rest of the team in the living room and CHUGS the pot in one go*
Cole:
Lloyd:
Nya:
Zane:
Pixal:
Master Wu:
Kai: Dude what the fuck it's not even nine-
Jay: Time is a construct we created to torture ourselves and life is a prison from which there is no escape. Suffering is the universe's only constant, nothing else matters.
The Ninja:
Jay: Oh! Zane made waffles? Why didn't you guys tell me?
If hellspawn ever met Echo, how would they get along?
Echo would be really confused on how her existence is possible and Zane would explain that it's similar to how their father made them.
But yeah, they'd get along.
She'd sit there curiously watching Nya, Jay and Zane repair Echo after being caught spying on them and they'd all talk until Lloyd finally finds her and puts her down for a nap.
She made a get-well-soon card for him after Nya told her he was 'sick' and that's why they were fixing him. Echo's kept it with him ever since.
After finding out that he and Zane are brothers because Dr Julien created him too, she ran to Lloyd asking for a sibling. Lloyd immediately told her NO.
Ok, so according to the Tommy, the main reason why Jay isn’t an inventor anymore is because (and this is the exact quote), “Between Jay, Nya and Pixal there were too many characters with that profile.” Aka, there were now too many techies on the main cast to warrant a need for them all, so that part of Jay’s character ultimately got the ax.
Now while I can understand why three techies could be frustrating to work with from a writing perspective, I would like to offer a compromise to this conundrum, as I still firmly believe it was a bad decision to get rid of what’s arguably Jay’s most redeeming and defining qualities.
So, here is my proposal…
Why not have Jay be the “wacky” inventor of the team, while Nya and Pixal remain more refined and practical?
Jay wasn’t just an tinkerer. The guy grew up in a junkyard, meaning he’s used to making almost anything out of what’s basically scrap metal. In the earlier seasons, Jay would build about anything that simply popped into his head, just because he could. He and his entire family even had weird inventions and made up terms for pretty much everything there, no matter how absurd. This is unlike Nya and Pixal, who both have much sleeker styles. Jay is creative and an out-of-the-box thinker, which was one of his greatest strengths.
Have Nya and Pixal tag team and build the main vehicles for the team back at the monastery while Jay is able to spruce something up with limited supplies when they’re out on a mission. His methods aren’t always conventional or practical, or even the prettiest, but they almost always do their job and get the team out of a sticky situation. That way they can all still have that “mechanical” side, but just now suited for different roles, balancing everything out.
Lloyd and Lord G are my coping mechanism. I'm also on FFNet and AO3 And yeah, I can't draw.
