Well Ninjago has really evolved from what it initially began with. At first it was very tied toward the Ninja and the art of Spinjitsu, what I see as the initial ideas of what Ninjago would have concieved to be. The show began straying off that and exploring new ideas and areas, which I believe was why the show is successful.

Now, I am one of those few people who actually LIKED The LEGO Ninjago Movie. (You're suprised, aren't you?) That (along with actually watching the TV series) was what actually got me back into Ninjago since it's release in 2011. I only owned a couple of the original sets, and at that time I never knew the TV show existed.

My point is, if Ninjago stuck to the original ideas, I don't think it would have been as successful as it is today.
