Anyway, i just want Ninjago (and Chima) to have a more serious tone, which also means that the melee weapons should not be used as a club, also over the ghost masters...

A way for me to explain their backstory is that a year or two before Wu and Garmadon's legendary fight betwine one another, there was a sivil war in ninjago, and the ghost masters and other villains where using the civil war as a way to gain more power or fortune for them self, this war would basicly be in the place of the Serpentine war, (because Misako, Chen and Clouse would be alive during that time, thus fixing a personal error i have to the actual timeline, which is how the serpentine where to be considered a legend if it happend in Misako, Chen and Clouse's lifetime, i mean look at world war two, its not like we are stating that the Nazis where a myth) the Serpentine war however, would take place many years before the civil war.

il get back to the ghost masters in a later edit, because i must go and eat.

Edit: ok, so... The ghost masters where as i said, some of the villains that tried to exploit the Civil war in Ninjago, one of these villains, mind you would also be the titular boarding school funder, Darkley (yes thats the reason i want to change the name a bit, because i want the boarding school's funder to make an appearance), he would also be one of the few villains who would not be captured and send to the cursed realm. but again over to the ghost masters,

Wraith and Soul Archer would be brothers in my version and they both would have tried to play the civil war to their favor by offering their skills as mercenaries, but both would pretend to be one persion going by the name of "Ronin" (and yes, thats another idea, that the name "Ronin" is in truth an allias that up to five persions have used with "Ronin" being the current user), the reason for this was that they would allow themself to be hired by two waring factions in the war, and would then make shure that nither side was victorious, thus allowing themself to get allot of money for their continuing job.

not much would be changed with Bansha, she would still be a sorceress who tried to gain power by controling one of the leaders of the different factions, like she did with Misako in the main series.

Ghoul Tar would in the war be a warchief and would be robbing other factions, and by attacking the other factions and robbing them for their resources, by using different faction flags, he was able push his victims anger on the other factions (yes, Ghoul Tar would be as stupid as he was in the series)

also, the Ninjago civil war was in started by Garmadon, who at this point would fall victime to the devourer's poison, and the reason he started the civil war, was so that he could easly step in and pick up what remained of Ninjago's population by claming himself to be their hero, thanks to the Golden weapons, and as we know from the Battle Between Brothers mini episode... this did not go well.

and i also forgot to mention that the Ninja would learn how to master their element already in the pilot season (remember that it would be the real season 1 in the remake), but before you then say that it would just make the Ninja's reason for getting the golden weapons and using them a bit pointless because they allready had elemental powers, here is the thing, the golden weapons would increas the ninja's elemental powers ten fold, which would also be the reason that Wu would not let them use the weapons, because the Ninja's elements would be to powerful for them to control at the moments, which is why they would need to train more in season 1 to control the golden weapons powers. Right, I'll get on this.

1. If you'll notice (something that I find amusing), barely anyone in the show is ever hit with a weapon. It is usually either deflected by another weapon, dodged, or avoided in another way.

2. What do you mean by "Ghost Masters"? If it's the ghosts, then they're in the Cursed Realm, so I'm not sure where you're going with that.

3. I don't like the idea of pushing the Serpentine War earlier in time. Instead, what if, after the war occured, a bunch of people moved out of major towns (like Jamonakai Village, the only village that was overtaken by snakes, and possibly the only town to actually see Serpentine) for fear of future Serpentine attacks (despite them being locked in tombs already, people were still tramatized, and left just in case). There would then be only a few people left in the village that were there during the Serpentine War (Misako may have never even seen a Serpentine, and lived on the outskirts of town, or even lived much farther away), causing the Serpentine to seem more like a myth as time went on.

4. Yes, I suppose Darkley could've started a boarding school, advertising it as a reformery, but in reality just grew their malevolence to create more villains in Ninjago to gain an advantage.

5. I don't know about all of the villains (no matter how many there were) being sent to the Cursed Realm. The citizens of Ninjago just don't seem that heartless. But, if I can't come up with anything else, it's fine, I guess.

6. An interesting idea for a few villains to go by an alias, Ronin. But I don't know about using one name, since after a while, people would notice a bunch of people in the same line of business with the same name. Maybe the names Ghoul Tar and Soul Archer and other ghost names could be the aliases. Also, I don't think Ghoul Tar and Soul Archer should be brothers. They don't really seem to have anything in common, and they don't work together.

7. Yeah, Bansha (which I think should be a name she made up as her sorceress name) would be a sorceress (hm, maybe she worked with Clouse and other magic weilders before she left for evil intentions, and Clouse burned the place down) before banishment.

8. Um, Ghoul Tar seems more like a soldier. Warchiefs need to be smarter than he is. He could just be destructive by nature.

9. I don't think the timing works well to have Garmadon be the starter of the war. He may have an evil role in it, but I think he should've just been watching from the sidelines. Maybe he helped the good side, but after the war was won, all of the evil that he had seen drove him to sucom to the evil.

10. Yes, I agree with the elemental powers thing. Maybe not ten-fold, but yes, stronger power.
