If the element passed on while he was still alive, Wu would have gotten the element of Energy probably, and then live on to become the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master. While, at the same time, Lloyd would grow up as the Green Ninja, and become the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master too.

If elemental power could be activated by anyone in the family (to the point that there could be Fire vs Fire fights), pretty soon, everyone would be an elemental master. Cousins would marry cousins of other families, leading to no one being without an element.

The ninja wouldn't be special, and neither would any of the elemental masters.

The same goes for spinjitzu. Pretty soon, fathers and mothers would be teaching it to their children, and everyone would be able to use it. It wouldn't be special anymore. This is something that i have finely manadge to figure out why i love Chima more than Ninjago, in Chima our main characters are not glorified and told "you are special because you are destind to save us" In chima our main characters are "normal" only Eris is special and even then she is not some profisiest character destind to save Chima from destruction, same goes for Flinx.

I have been thinking about this and i am even more sure now that i would just remove the hole idea of Elemental masters and instead make the weapons have the power and not the persion who is constantly told "you where born special" and the fact that the idea of the powers are just so non explain and the fakt that they are just saying that there are only one elemental master at any given time, means that its more likely that the elemental powers should already have died of, because its so unlikely and it just makes so many questions like why do no one care about the elemental masters? the people seems to not care about the elemental masters at all.

So again if i could make a remake of Ninjago, i would remove the entire elemental master idea, and instead have the weapons be source of their powers.

and really, this clip from the LEGO Movie i think works here: LINK
