some things i dont like about season 7
now dont get me wrong. i love season 7 and i love the time twins. it's my second favorite season, behind season 5. theres just a LOT of plotholes and plot convenience moments
1) the temporal anomaly locator
- i know why they added this, the writers needed a way for the ninja and the twins to know where the blades were. the bounty was destroyed (again) at some point too
- but they could have found another way to add it in. borg put it into his smartwatch, and that allowed acronix to know. heres the thing; the smartwatch wasnt designed just for acronix, and when would the general public need to know where time is disturbed?
2) zane was out for half a season, maybe more
- ok yes im still salty about season 3 but it felt like this only happened because the writers wanted to add more comedy and zanes randomness certainly did that
- the thing is, zanes just a tiny bit overpowered. if you think about it, they did tone down his intelligence for moments that it was needed but if he had been there for these episodes things would have been a lot different
3) pixals absence and the samurai x thing
- yes side plots help it seem more realistic but i felt like that was just a distraction from what was happening
- based off s8 (9?) we know pixal is samurai x now but idk it just doesnt sit right with me.
- nya should have let it go way sooner than she actually did. like c'mon lady i get that youre a whiny bitch with no sense of maturity but youre a ninja now and its just getting annoying (i do not like nya)
4) ray and maya
- yes im glad kai and nya found their parents. no im not glad that they were with the twins this whole time and nO ONE SUSPECTED IT???
- it feels like they were only there for the writers to be able to get the reversal blade
5) dr saunders is actually krux
- again. no one suspected anything. yeah dr saunders was so out of character for krux but in ep3 we saw how easy it was to reveal the secret room krux used. kai literally almost found it multiple times
- the way he was revealed was so dumb. krux tripped and fell on a statue and it tore off his mustache. hes been a warrior for 40+ years. hes a strong fighter and most importantly: he has balance. sO HOW DID HE FALL SO EASILY??
- and also his reaction to his cover being blown was so out of character its ridiculous. they gave up personality consistency for humor
6) lloyd being the secondary master in training or whatever it was called
- the ninja were just lowkey assholes to lloyd idk what to tell you man
7) blunch and raggmunk
- another example of great potential thrown away for the sake of humor
- i thought the vermillion generals were bred to superiority
8) krux lowkey enslaved people and bred a whole species for his war needs and i dont see anybody talking about it
- self explanatory honestly
9) the ending of season 7
- it was just so lazy imo and it left more unanswered questions
- if wu survived being shredded apart by temporal energy gone crazy why havent the twins
- krux and acronix technically still have the altered dna of an elemental master of time so it could have been that. their own element was tearing them apart from the inside out and wu just made it because he doesnt have that dna change
although the time puns every 5 minutes were beautiful this season was just. ugh. i wish it werent overwhelming and a giant hassle (as well as violating copyright laws) otherwise i would redo the whole season myself. the twins were great characters and they deserve better than this shit smh
i forgot a lot of the points i was going to make along the way because im doing this at 6am while watching episode 6 of s7 again (i wish i was on s6 just for the sake of symmetry but s6 was even worse in my opinion so)
but anyway there might be a pt2 if i remember more things
