Basically, i'm saying i don't like the current version of Garmadon, because the changes done to him and stuff around him felt forced to me. "i feel that version doesn't have the personality of the original, he just comes of like a being who can't understand the concept of human emotions". Ehh, actually, that's the point of his resurrected version. Being a being that is not allowed to understand human emotions but later on he tries to do it is one of the main plot points of resurrected Garmadon

"I feel that one could just as well replace him with some random Oni general or something and it wouldn't have changed much with the plot". It would have, if it was just "some random Oni general" then the whole purpose of the Oni masks wouldn't make too much sense, the conflict between Harumi and Lloyd wouldn't make sense either, as well as the Garmadon and lloyd conflict and the Oni coming to Ninjago. In other words, it would've changed drastically the whole Oni Trilogy

"Plus the show now a days more or less seems to try more to make his and Lloyd's relationship to be more like the Movie version, with Lloyd being very unhappy with his dad.". Again, no, actually no. The only time when we got to see something similar to this was in S10, and even there, it can't be label as the "same thing" considering that they were just mad to one another because they're kind of like 2 opossite sides of a coin trying to keep they're difference apart to face something bigger than themselves

"Basically, i'm saying i don't like the current version of Garmadon, because the changes done to him and stuff around him felt forced to me.". But how can this be "forced" if they just brought back a character that was presumibly dead and that it was said one million times that he wasn't going to be the same person we once knew. I think this is more a matter of taste rather than actual force writing The new Lord Garmadon is also kind of inconsistent. Nearly kills Harumi in one episode and like four episodes later, he wanted to destroy the city because of her death. I wouldn't say he's inconsistent, rather logical. Think for a second, the reason why he couldn't kill Lloyd was because his love for him was holding him back, (meaning that, while he is now unemotionish, he still has a liiiiittle bit of humanity) so instead of just suppress those emotions, why not just direct them to someone else? and that's where the whole "Daugther of Darkness" plays in. But why Harumi? simple, because it was her that, not only motivated him to reach his true potential, but also, gave him that golden chance of stopping the Oni from coming to Ninjago.
