Following off my previous post- I give you the current love interests…
Whether you like the ships or not at least most characters are being fed. Lloyd has been severely left to rot. Give Lloyd a girlfriend at least his younger self would be proud…
Always thought it would be so interesting to see an oni put on one of the oni masks…
We’ve seen what it does to humans/mortals.
Imagine if Lloyd put one on and he all of a sudden turned into oni form. That would be insane.
But even better- what if he put it on and nothing change at all. He was exactly the same. Showing that he embodies the oni’s powers already? That he’s already a demon despite not looking like one. A wolf in sheep’s clothing you could say. Hits even harder when you know oni can shape shift…
We know Lloyd is afraid of becoming his father. We see the physical reaction when he looks in the mirror of dreed sometime post Oni trilogy and sees himself as his father. Lloyd predicts a physical change to ultimately be seen as evil/bad.
But what if it’s not about the physical. What if it’s the emotion and power. He puts the mask on and sees himself the same as always. It was not about unlocking power and physically changing, but seeing what was always there.
Golden power is both destruction and creation. Not just creation.
The main example I have- Telekinesis, the mask of Deception and the moving of mountains:
Telekinesis is the ability to move objects or manipulate matter using mental power, without any physical contact. We see this power utilised by the Mask of Deception throughout the oni trilogy. We know it hails from the oni warlord of deception (orange mask). We see Garmadon teaching Lloyd how to harness the power to move mountains when on the run from the overlord in season 3. With this Lloyd moves rock formations with his mind presenting the power of telekinesis.
Also interesting to note that Garm says something along the lines of “you’ve only scratched the surface of your potential.” Perhaps being why we never see the four arms depicted with the mask of vengeance with Lloyd until crystallised. The mask of hatred with the power of indestructibility/invincibility is hard to ever recall seeing but perhaps it is depicted in different ways I can’t recall? The only time I can think of the mask of hatred’s power being present through Lloyd is when he fights Garmadon at the end of season 8. His power seems to protect his body from damage. However this is not when he has golden power.
We are yet to see any form of shape shifting from Lloyd at all. Which would be so sick, I hope DR looks into this more, as it seemed to be the only oni power Lloyd seemed interest in. (Might make another post about this). If you count automatic outfit changes/ summoning motorcycles out of thin air as shapeshifting then golden power does show it lmao but that is REACHINGG

As for creation- we know that golden power isn’t creation entirely. Given that it was the ‘balance’, it would have to be both creation and destruction.
I can see how golden power would be confused with creation, both are gold, with creation having a more white overall colour scheme. Similar to how destruction has hints of black but is overall purple.
We see Lloyd start off with the four main elements in his training before unlocking golden power. Demonstrating golden powers connection to creation as it was heavily present before Lloyd unlocked the power of the ultimate spinjitzu master.
Perhaps the fact that Lloyd was trained by Wu and the ninja at the start of the series is why he needed Garmadon to train him when being hunted by the overlord. He favoured one side of the golden power. He was unbalanced. And perhaps still is in DR despite not having golden power anymore.
