Official description[]
When evil threatens the world, you need a group of highly trained razor-sharp ninjas to combat the darkness and save the day. But... those heroes were busy so we'll settle for these guys! No matter how you pronounce Ninjago, these 2nd-choice heroes are totally prepared for anything (we hope).
Cast[]
- Narrator - Jon Bailey
Trivia[]
- The video takes inspiration from Screen Junkies' Honest Trailers, with Jon Bailey, the host of the web series, providing the narration. It was written by Greg Farshtey and produced by Gabe Huffstutler, along with input from Tommy Andreasen, Tommy Kalmar, and Ninjago fan Lachlan Jansen.
- Despite its shared voice actor, this video is not officially part of the "Honest Trailer" video series.
- The video takes a comedic approach to the Ninjago universe, poking fun at its eccentricities and recurring clichés.
- The video's thumbnail uses the ninja's Legacy designs but with their pre-Sons of Garmadon hair, except for Zane who has his post-movie hairpiece but in his pre-movie human form's hair color. Meanwhile, Garmadon has the appearance of his movie counterpart's stock art.
- This video was produced before Master of the Mountain aired, as evidenced by the season's events being relegated to teasing.
- In this video, Akita is considered to be Lloyd's second girlfriend after Harumi.
- Tommy Andreasen previously stated that the nature of Lloyd and Akita's relationship is up for the viewer to decide.[2]
- Portions of this video were later made into commercials.[citation needed]
