I watched maybe the first 10 episodes of this series and it's actually quite good. The voice acting is the best I have heard in a while, the actors are playing it so straight and on point that they actually sell it really well. So voice actors area really good. One really good thing I like about it is that it doesn't fell into that trap of quick dialogue that so many series has. Each joke is allowed a 2 second breathing room.
Writing it also quite solid. The science is very Jimmy Neutron like but honestly, it doesn't treat its audience like dummies, it doesn't overly explain things or over complicated it. I feel like the 11 minutes of each episode allowes it just enough time to keep it tight story.
Animation is also very fluid and the action is actually good and fluid.
I'm not gonna ignore the fact that the series is eventually gonna make the toys and sell them but so is all the Ninjago series and any other series. But maybe that's a good thing. I think that kids need a series like this, They have their heads stuck in too many monitors today and it's causing alarming rates of anxiety and isolation. They could need a few toys to help expand their imagination and make them feel safe again.
All in 9 for me. It's not a perfect series, but it's a great change for a new generation.
