If the Ninja were pieces of classical music

Jay- An American in Paris, Gershwin This work just screams Jay to me. It's upbeat, crazy, and unpredictable. It's crazy and energetic in the first half, but in the second half, it shows the sweeter and maybe calmer side of Jay. That is, before crescendoing up back into a total freakout again. Its melodies are unforgettable. The taxi horns in the beginning and end add even more to the Jay vibe. This work is definitely not your classical symphony, but it is epic nonetheless, and I can definitely see Jay in this piece.

Lloyd- Tchaikovsky's The Sleeping Beauty Ballet The whole ballet is hours long. You don't have to listen to the whole thing. I chose this one for Lloyd because I felt strongly that Lloyd needed a Romantic-era composer like Tchaikovsky. The ballet has a regal, noble feel for it and it says Lloyd to me. This one is a good piece of the ballet to listen to if you only have five minutes to spare. Lloyd is a strong and stable leader with a big heart, and that's what this ballet feels like to me.

Zane- Mozart - Symphony no. 40, in G minor - 1st movement I knew I had to pick something by Mozart for Zane. Mozart just suits him. And if you're a classical musician, you'll know that you have to play Mozart with precision. And that's what Zane is. The movement is centered around a minor key. However, it doesn't sound particularly sad, and I also think that's appropriate for Zane. The melody tends to stay up in the higher end of things, which is just right for Zane. I encourage you to listen to the whole thing. Of course, no piece of music can accurately depict the perfect and precious character that Zane is.

Cole- Gustav Holst - The Planets - Jupiter I went out searching for one that exemplified Kai and I found Cole. The whole movement has a sense of stability. It starts off fast-paced, which isn't really Cole to me, but it makes up for it later. Did I forget to mention the unforgettable melody? It's beautiful. The whole piece is in the lower end of the pitch spectrum which is perfect for the master of earth. Towards the end, it slows down and gives you the sense of stability and responsibility that Cole fosters. It's Cole's perfect piece.

And that's it! Think you know of a piece that better exemplifies one of these ninja? Or know of a work that sounds like one of the ninja I haven't listed here? Comment below!! Good day fangirls and boys, now GOODNIGHT!

Nya vs. Pixal

A lot of times I like to compare the only two recurring girls on the show: PIXAL and Nya. So I guess I'll just let you look inside my brain a little and see the points I usually touch when comparing these two women.

First of All: Why even have girls?
This is obviously a show aimed majorly at boys. So why have girls? Well, I think there are two different reasons.
      1# To be politically correct
           This generation is really focused on girl power. If the show was all about boys, some people wouldn't consider it politically correct. So they had to add a girl character (Nya) to inject some strong women power into it.
      2# To give the male characters more depth
           What would Jay be without Nya? What would Zane be without Pixal? And these male characters are broken-hearted when their significant other is missing. If you haven't noticed, Zane really really really cares about Pixal. And this gives him more depth as a character. Kai really really really loves Nya, and it gives Kai the big brother vibe that he wouldn't be the same without.

Now to compare the two:

Their attitudes
Both Nya and Pixal have a little bit of sass. I find Pixal's sass a little more appealing than Nya's. Nya just seems rude sometimes. And Pixal does have that innocent vibe to her that Nya doesn't have.

Their Smarts
Both Pixal and Nya are both smart. They always seem to be the one behind the computer, building mech, saving the ninja... To digress a little bit, I feel like Pixal has taken Nya's place. Pixal is now Samurai X, Pixal is now the one left behind when everyone goes on missions, shes the one building the mechs, she's the one saving the ninja now. She's filling Nya's place since Nya left to become the water ninja. And even though I love Pixal, I think I liked Nya in that role better. Nevertheless, they are both highly intelligent.

Their Development as a Character
Let me say one thing right off the bat. Both Nya and Pixal are underdeveloped. Lego, if you're going to add girls into the mix, at least give them some depth! I notice the underdevelopment the most in Nya because she's kinda moved into the main character role. Nya just, isn't interesting. I can only think of one thing that gave some kind of interest and background to her character and that is the whole thing with their parents that happened in season 7. But since she shares that with her brother and her parents came back, I feel like that's not significant. I could name 5+ things about the other ninja that give them depth but only about 2 for Nya. Pixal doesn't have much depth either, but for some reason, that doesn't bother me as much.

Well, thanks for coming along for the ride! Good evening, fellow fangirls and boys, GOODNIGHT!
