[skrunklydoo]

the ninjago fandom's flanderisation of koko (and a bit of a criticism of koko's writing in tlnm)

hi, so i was inspired to write this post after getting so incredibly sick of people treating koko as a perfect mother with no flaws whatsoever and completely flanderising her to fit what they think misako should be: to only revolve around being lloyd’s mother and garmadon’s wife. this is both a criticism of how the film adapted misako and how the fandom reacted to it.

content warning for discussions of misogyny, both in fandom and behind the scenes of tlnm. this post is also a bit of a criticism of misako bashing, hate and flanderisation. this is primarily about the toxic positivity surrounding koko, as well as how she’s under-written. this is not koko hate, nor is it tlnm hate. i myself am very neutral on koko. please keep discussions civil.

in the ninjago fandom, there is a known culture of bashing and hating on misako, ever since her introduction. it mostly leads to a lack of content surrounding her that portrays her in a neutral-to-positive light, a lack of proper understanding and analysis regarding her and even genuine, disgusting harassment of people who post about her in even just a neutral way.

when the lego ninjago movie was released, all the characters were adapted in different ways to fit a different universe, and possibly the most starkly different character was koko, misako’s movieverse counterpart. she is a younger, caring mother with a past as lady iron dragon, then she fell in love with and married garmadon, and eventually decided to end her career as a fighter to care for lloyd. at first glance, she seems like a good character. however, when properly analysing her, she is extremely similar to misako in how she was written. her story arc still revolves around being a mother and a wife, and she still has some flaws (that often get scrubbed completely in fanon interpretations). they were both also very underwritten - hell, to this day, we still don’t have anything on misako’s backstory other than her mum showing up in a piece of non-canon material (lloyd’s blog from 2012), though her writing has significantly improved over the seasons.

i believe that koko was supposed to be a strong character, but…

at the end of the day, her character still revolves around men. and the 'lady iron dragon' aspect of koko, which in theory could have been extremely interesting, is severely underutilised within the film aside from nya obsessing over her and within flashbacks, which is incredibly sad!!

furthermore, i have a few issues with fanon interpretations of koko. i've noticed a certain pattern within the fandom when it comes to koko. a lot of the time in media, female characters are flanderised to just being mothers and/or wives - ironically, that’s a phenomenon that occurs with both koko (in a (toxically) ‘positive’ way) and misako (in an often deeply negative way). in people's defense, it's often unintentional, but it's still deeply sexist and harmful, and that's the sad thing.

there’s another trend, and that’s alternate universes that replace misako with her movieverse counterpart - more often than not, koko is just used as a blank slate to be simply lloyd’s mother and garmadon’s wife, simply due to misako not being a perfect character and not adhering to the incredibly high standards fandom in general has of characters like her. almost everything that does make koko interesting in tlnm is erased in favour of making her a blank, 'perfect' canvas in fanon. at the end of the day, i cannot police what people write or how they write certain characters, but i believe that i can criticise it as unintentionally (unintentional most of the time anyway) misogynistic.

the vast majority of the ninjago fandom’s treatment of koko is nearly identical to how it treats misako: remove all of her nuance and reduce her to one or two traits. the only difference is that koko’s treatment is overly positive. her character flaws and mistakes, such as not paying much notice of how severely lloyd was being bullied, are ignored in favour of making her a blank slate. in misako’s case, it’s ignoring all of her strengths in favour of making her a ‘bad’ parent to lloyd, or a ‘bad’ wife to garmadon, instead of acknowledging the context behind why she was written that way, or even just acknowledging the context behind her poorer decisions within the show itself. i get the frustration, but you need to at least acknowledge the context behind the pieces of media you consume on a daily basis. you don't even have to like her, but please at least take a moment to understand this.

in conclusion, i absolutely do not believe that koko is a reprehensible or irredeemably terribly-written character. i also do not believe the ninjago movie is terrible by any means. however, the fandom’s treatment of her is genuinely so incredibly confusing to me and riddled with some of the worst toxic positivity and flanderisation i have ever seen in fandom, with very little acknowledgement of her flaws (especially outside of tumblr). i do somewhat understand why, but i also don’t at the same time. i also believe her writing was quite poor and she was deeply underutilised in tlnm.
