Am I the only one who really loves Jay's character after what happened to him at the Administration? Like, I never minded him before, but at the same time nothing about him really spoke to me. I don't know if it's because he was always just the "goofball" in the show or what. Maybe it's because even though Ninjago did give him a backstory and funny personality, they never really dove deeper into his character. I mean, all that we really knew about him was his silly personality, that he has loved Nya since the start, his love for video games, and the fact that he's the Lightning Ninja. Everything else was briefly explained and forgotten later on throughout the show (inventor, the fact he's adopted, etc). And while I know that we don't have to repeat these things, it just seemed like the show forgot to add sources of this information throughout the rest of the seasons after Skybound. I could be remembering wrong --- forgive me if I am --- but I don't know... I just was never invested in his character, I guess.
Now, however, as I watch him after Dragons Rising, I have really begun to like him, and I am enjoying his character more from past seasons after watching these new seasons. I don't know, maybe I'm the weird one, and maybe I just like it when favorite characters go "evil" and become the villains (true), but either way, I am enjoying his character more now from past seasons as I watch the show, and I'm really hoping Ninjago keeps writing him in this way and doesn't automatically make him the "hero" again once he remembers his past. I'm really hoping they keep the idea going for a while until he eventually figures and remembers everything out in a respectable time frame.
Anyways, just a thought. Wanted to get it out of my brain lol. Evil Jay is definitely something I've been enjoying thoroughly haha
