Ehmhm...

SO, Harumi was my favorite villain of all time. While I hate her in the sense that I'm angry at her for hurting Lloyd, I personally think she was a really well-done character. Congrats Ninjago! And... also a big thumbs down for ripping her character off onto a crazy female fire snake.

This isn't necessarily about Aspheera. This is about the overused "revenge" trope and how annoyed I am with it. Aspheera was EXTREMELY annoying. Harumi played with those she hated, while simultaneously tugging at your heart strings with her backstory, and Aspheera slithers around screaming.

Then there was Akita, who, granted, wasn't as bad as Aspheera. Her problem is really that she's just another side character who'll be taken in because it's convenient then dropped back out and never be heard from again. BUT SHE STILL USED THE WORD REVENGE.

It's time to stop, Ninjago, and make a creative villain. And before you say the Ice Emperor was a creative villain... he was. BUT... they definitely could have gone further with his character. The ending was just too predictable for me, really.

...This is my opinion.
