>>6275073My exposure to their shows is pretty low. Never watched Ninjago or any of that. Last year, though, /co/ convinced me to watch The Freemaker Adventures and I legit liked it. It's hardly high art but it was enough to twist my arm enough to buy some of the sets which is all Lego cares about. It's kid stuff but it had some clever bits and it seemed like the writers knew their shit and put some effort into the show. The Palpatine Museum was some nice shit and I'd love it if they did a modified baby body to create the Emperor bobblehead.
When I saw Nexo Knights on netflix I figured what the hell and gave it a true, but it was like they barely bothered to connect with the sets on which the series is based. Felt thrown together with next to zero effort.
I'm not upset or anything, just surprised how slapdash it was. But like I said I've never seen Ninjago so I've got too few points of reference to judge how usual this is. I grew up in the damn 80s with shit like Transformers, I'm used to cartoons that are just toy commercials.
