Honestly I just think Kai and Skylor would make a great team as FRIENDS, like if they really should be a couple I feel like they would’ve figured it out by now like they confirmed in crystallized that they never officially were a thing along with how Kai doesn’t even have her phone number. Like I feel like they would make s great duo where they’re trying to help each other get a date. Like a platonic relationship where they both have chemistry together but it’s like a “I’ll support you, and beat anyone up if they mess with you” chemistry more than a love chemistry. There the type of people who would make one of this “If I’m not married by thirty” packs and then instead of being like a married the love of my life it would be more like I married my best friend.

(I'm not saying he's never selfish at all, but the dismissal of Kai's intentions behind most of his actions is just... no.

Ok, I desperately crave more canon Kailor content bc I genuinely think this ship could work, but the problem is that Skylor isn’t being used properly. I kinda just want the creators to explore Kailor more instead of just hinting at it, yknow? I also do want her to be used as more than a love interest. I don’t like Harumi (as a person, she’s a well written character imo) but the writers wrote her well that I like her in that way. Like, she wasn’t just a love interest, but an actual character with a personality not fully attached to Lloyd. Idk, I feel like the writers don’t really know how to write relationships between the ninja and other characters (besides Jaya but that’s only bc both of them are part of the team and they are in almost every episode together, so they can actually develop, and Pixane bc Pixal was always there for Zane during and after rebooted whether that be in his programming or as an actual nindriod.) There’s already sm stuff happening in an episode or season that they kinda forget about Kailor and just randomly add it in. Heck, even Cole and Vania had better chemistry at times than Kailor outside of season 4 bc Cole and Vania were able to develop their relationship a bit bc they were together a lot during season 12, and even if they weren’t gonna be together, Conia has that good friendship development that could either remain platonic or romantic. I love Kailor so so much and tbh I never understood why I wanted to find more Kailor content until watching this vid. I skipped the crystallized parts bc I haven’t watched crystallized yet, but once I do, I’ll probably add more this this already long comment.

Skylor and Kai should have gotten together several seasons ago, and she should have had a more prominent role as a side character like Dareth and Misako. Kailor has finally become canon in Quest for the Lost Powers, when she’s referred as his girlfriend, and I think their relationship would be a lot better if they got together in Hands of Time (which was supposed to be a Kai season). Could have gotten some great development, and they could have addressed the shock of finding out about their parents together.

THIS^ Hands of Time was the perfect chance for Skylor/Kailor development but instead she just disappeared again. Like, if the plan was to make them an official couple, they should have done it then instead of waiting 15 seasons just to do it in an off-screen book Great point about their parents as well, that would have been a great way for them to connect (though considering it got vaguely mentioned this might have just been an issue with HoT’s writing which was…. less than perfect lmao)

@@DexilejJ Yeah, I legit thought Skylor would take on a big role in Hands of Time. She had a cameo appearance in the past 2 seasons, but it was clear that she and Kai had feelings for each other, and HoT would have been a great chance for them to make it official. I believe this season took place only a few months after Tournament of Elements, so the timeline would have worked out well. Yet they once again just brought Skylor in for a cameo, and she didn't even appear on screen between the Oni Trilogy and Crystalized! Seems like the writers didn't want to deal with an extra character lol. Having them have a "will they, won't they" relationship for like 4 years (roughly the time between Season 4 and Crystalized) is just counterproductive, and they missed out on some great character development opportunities for both characters.

I would like to add my two cents. I can’t believe Kai loves Skylar. Does he find her attractive? Yes and that’s all o see from him. She’s cool, pretty, badass, and skilled. Kai sees her looks and is attracted to her. However, I can’t see him loving her because he doesn’t make the attempt to going deeper. He doesn’t get her number. Why? He doesn’t think about Skylar any of those times when she’s not around. To Kai, Skylar is hot girl but she’s nothing more. As for Skylar, she doesn’t seem to care either. She doesn’t even reach out to Kai who lost his sister. Why? She doesn’t reach out at all. She got Lloyd’s number but she doesn’t tell Lloyd to give Kai her number? The reason I love and ship Lava is because they build each other up on their own. It’s not forced. It’s natural.

Exactly!! This “attracted to each other but won’t/can’t talk about it” dynamic was fine when they first met, but it’s been YEARS now and no attempt has been made to develop them.

@@DexilejJ I agree. I think it’s fine that Skylar and Kai started awkward. I mean, she manipulated and lied to Kai, so I hoped that he wouldn’t forgive her easily. However, he does and it’s unfortunate because having Skylar work to gain his trust would add not only more depth to their relationship but more depth to Skylar. To add, I hate *how* they made Kai and Sky a thing. They didn’t bother to show them getting together. Just say so and that’s it. Kai is a main character, we should see his relationship develop (we did… for Lava tho 😉) ON SCREEN. Lastly, Skylar complaining that Kai doesn’t put time into her, yet she doesn’t put time into him. It’s a bit hypocritical. Both are at fault for that, so I don’t just want to pick on Sky. Kai and Sky do have some sweet moments but I don’t think it’ll be enough to be a good couple. Of course, not to sound bias, lava makes up for that. And for someone says “tHeY’Re bRoThERs!” No they’re not. Them calling each other brothers is similar to soldiers calling each other brothers. It’s bout TEAM that works LIKE a family. I’m getting off side track so I’ll end it with this. Anyways, I wouldn’t be surprised if Kailor doesn’t last long. Neither of them puts care into a relationship. They make great friends tho!

This is never addressed by anyone other than Lloyd and after season 2 Misako just becomes less of a character and more of a plot device for whatever story they're telling.

Cyber technology is gone. Air spin from possessions season, never again. Generally, after one season everything drops in favor of the next new thing. It not away the case. The golden weapons for explaining. Being an important plot point. Also what the deal with ninja elements' power? Once they need the golden weapons, then unlock by the temple, then dependent on Lloyd, unlike the other element master including Nya who already have the power. Otherwise, great show.

Жыл бұрын
I don't think you said anything controversial in this video. On the contrary, you were more merciful in your critique of Skylor than I would have been. The core problem, I believe, with Skylor is that she simply has no character. Think about it, what Skylor's actual personality traits? I'm not talking about her powers or her role in the plot I'm talking about her actual character traits. Can you think of 3? 2? Even 1? To be honest, I really can't. At best I would say she "wants to do good" but even that hardly a character trait when it's shared by literally every other heroic character in Ninjago. When everyone wants to "do good" it means that there is nothing unique about Skylor herself. This is a problem that can be found since her first appearance. Her character is so lacking that we don't even have a reason for why she betrayed her dad and turned good to begin with, the show gives us nothing besides "she was in love with Kai". That makes her character tremendously shallow yet it is supposed to be the basis for this major character moment. Kai says stuff like "this isn't you, you are are good" but why does he think this? Skylor hasn't done anything that displays her true motivations or a personality. Kai only believes this because he thinks she's attractive which is a superficial way to write both his and Skylor's characters. And Skylor has retained this quality of not having any personality or character traits throughout the show. She occupationally pops up when the creators want to expand the cast for a but never contributes anything beyond helping the team. She's functionally no different from any character like Ronin or Dareth having a guest appearance to help. But even these character are better than she is because they have stronger personalties and we understand their motivations. Skylor's a boring, a black face ally that is only brought back she's a fan favorite. But then this does beg the question: Why is Skylor a fan favorite when she has no personality? Easy, it's because she's superficially very cool. She was introduced as this mysterious, orange, female Ninja and that's a something fan latched onto. Plus she has these cool powers where she can copy other powers. She's like Boba Feet, character people like because they can do cool things and look cool but one who has no personality. Plus, I think she has additional fans who enjoy her for the shipping angle she brings with Kia. (I also think a few fans might literally find her attractive and that's another reason they like her but I won't delve too far into this point. I will just say that out of all the characters in Ninjago, a disproportionately higher number of fans have articulated online that they have a crush on Skylor.) Because fans like these superficial qualities for Skylor, they project depth onto Skylor which doesn't actually exist, depth that is compounded by their nostalgia for her. So what's the solution? Easy, give her more screentime to actually explore her character as you said in this video. Because until that is done Skylor really has no depth or substance for fans to care about. I'd like to like Skylor, it's just that the show has given me nothing to work with.

I agree too much with that. EVEN VINNY FROM THE NJTV SHOW HAS MORE CHARACTER THAN HER, LIKE BRO? THAT ONE TIME A SIDE CHARACTER HAD/HAS MORE SCREEN TIME AND PERSONALITY THAN MAIN CHARACTER'S LOVE INTEREST? I don't like the Kailor ship in general, because it doesn't even make sense?! Sure, Jaya had a quite similar start to Kailor but it showed more potential of romance in it, it showed actual caring and not just because it's supposed to be the love interest. And if someone thinks that Kailor ship is not canon just because Skylor isn't in a team, then they're wrong. Literally, P.I.X.A.L isn't in the ninja team, but she decides to be with them anyway, when she could've been helping Borg in the tower, just continuing her work, she chooses to help the Ninja, she chooses to be with Zane, to help them. And then Skylor just, exists. What I'm trying to say that it's not because of Skylor not being in team, it's because she literally chooses not to spend time with Kai. Her not having Kai's number is already -50 romance points. And after Nya's death, WHERE was she when Kai needed her the most? When she doesn't even have his phone number? The Kailor ship would've made more sense if Kai and Skylor spent more time together, and of course "IT'S because of the missions!", WELL THEY DIDN'T HAVE MISSIONS FOR THE WHOLE YEAR BECAUSE OF NYA'S DEATH, SO??? THEY HAD SO MUCH TIME, not even counting that 1 year. At this point, it's just facile way of toxic relationship. Skylor chooses to flirt with Kai, just for what? Just to reject him in the end? What is this? And you made a good point of that they never talked after the end of fight, we didn't get an extra scene, they just showed that they talked about something, and if they were talking about their relationship, I don't think it's something to speak about in public, plus the faces explained themselves that they are talking about something else.

We just get a bunch of on-again-off-again conversations which _could_ pass as flirting, but it’s like, we have no reason to care. *they didn’t even have each others’ numbers* dhshdhs

9:45 She moved over the street lamps. She likes to move at heights (over buildings, for example), which is a small detail about her character. I guess Kai and Cole stayed downstairs because they have to protect Jake, who can't jump over streetlights after all😂

“I’m going to get hate from Skylor” Nah not from me, if fact I’ve seen quite a bit of vocal hate from people not liking her. And honestly you make some pretty interesting arguments, kinda similar to BendoBricks except praising her as like a villain. Not really a Kailor fan myself but you have a point as to why. The show never did anything involving these two they just met and have dialog and that’s it which to me while did not bother me at all it’s a criticism I can understand coming from a Skylor fan I still love her but sometimes I wish my amber queen dose some unique stuff

Honestly crystallized really showed that Skylor doesn’t care about Kai. I didn't like it when she started accusing Kai of not being around and forgetting about her. As for the events before the 14 season I agree but after Seabound season I was already embarrassed.I mean, Kai's sister "died" and he needed the support of his loved ones. Why didn't Skyler support him then and be there for him. Has she not been interested in him for a whole year and did not find out how he deal with it? How’s he doing? Does he want to talk about it? Like she just doesn't care about him. And the fact that she didn't have his number is no excuse. If she wanted to she could just ask his friends where he is. But at the same time she allows him to flirt with her but when he proposed to become a couple she said are you serious? Why didn't she let him know right away that she wasn't interested in him? as you have already said. It's like she just keeps him as "stock". Please don't attack me Kailor fans It’s just my opinion. By the way I really enjoyed the video. You’re good KZitemr.

@@BlurroBlue Honestly what confuses me more is that if Skylor had a claim on Kai, then why did she flirt with him in return. Why exactly when he flirted with her, she behaved normally, even though she could show with a look that she was dissatisfied with him as a “boyfriend”. Why did she start attacking him EXACTLY when he proposed to be a couple. Skylor must know what flirting is. Like flirting with me, but is that all you can hope for? Well, damn, if she responded to his flirting, Kai would definitely think that she was interested in him and make the next move, it was quite logical.

I like Skylor, only problem is they either don't use her too much or mistreat her. Crystallized especially nerfed her powers a lot and made her only temporarily keep powers she absorbed. In season 4 she was seen to use Zane's powers which she had absorbed way before the ninja arrived on the island. Skylor was able to absorb powers once and keep them forever, why the change now? Is it because of her being overpowered? At least give an explanation to why her powers changed. Perhaps after being poisoned by Garmadons oni powers in season 9, her powers weakened to where she can only use them temporarily. That's the only reasonable explanation to why they have changed. Otherwise she is a good character imo.

I think Skylor is a character that hasn't had an arc or much of a personality since her first season. I liked her how she kept having cameos in seasons 5, 6 and 7, and had a major role in season 9, but after that it became apparent she had nothing left to provide for the show. I imagine she could've had an effective self-sacrifice near the end of Hunted to save Lloyd, Nya and their crew. That would've left a good taste in the mouths of everyone that had gotten tired of her. Vania is a better character. Fight me.

As a long-time Ninjago fan, Skylor, to me, is just boring. Yet, outside of being a love interest, she has a role to play, like every side character/ally in each season. However, the others always have traits that you can isolate and it be unique to that character. I say this because I legitimately forget Skylor exists half the time because she doesn't stand out, yet I can remember niche characters like "Saunders," Scott, Racer Seven, and Antonia since they have some personality to them. I can't even think what Skylor's personality is that's unique to her or makes her stand out a lot. Some could argue that's just a problem with love interests, but characters like Pixal and Akita stand out because they actually seem and act like people. Someone could argue how Vania is a "love interest," but even if she, most likely, isn't she still has a bubbly charm on her own. Maybe if Skylor, let's say, had some traits like writing cook books or actually being the occasional cook for the team so it seems natural whenever she is around. Seriously, why does Skylor only come around whenever Lloyd calls her or something? Idk, to me it makes her seem a lot grounded and natural for Kai to like her since there could be a relationship more than fighting. Anyway, if a background character like Vinny ended up being more memorable than her then there is a problem.

THANK YOU! I thought I was the only one who thought that Skylor not a good character. Skylor’s type of character where people write that she’s a cool, just an unexplored or that she has potential in future seasons completely overshadowed by the fact that she’s just a plot device not a real character with personality. The writers simply created her to be only a ninjas’ ally and Kai's love interest. Yes as an ally she has role (Like Dareth, Pixal and all other characters). But all this characters has much personality, she has nothing individual except her element (But this’s not a personality in psychological terms, but a skill and heredity). The funny thing is, Skylor has her own noodle restaurant, but they hardly show it to us, it's all behind the scenes. Rather, this was done in order to send her to the background and use her when necessary. I absolutely agree with video, every time Kai with Skylor he always looks like a selfish and flirtatious guy, although we all know that he’s not selfish. She’s like a strange girl for him, in whom he loves very much, but he doesn’t want to say a word too much or seem vulnerable to push her away. It feels like the only one who has feelings in a relationship’s Kai and Skylor just lets him flirt with her. Kai’s my favorite ninja and he deserves someone who’ll take care of him, love him, support him and will be next in a difficult moment for him. If she’s destined to be Kai's love interest, then she should play at least some role. And something to do, not only accept flirting from him. When Kai lost his sister Skylor didn’t care about him and didn’t even try to support him during this difficult period. The guy lost the sister he raised, would it make more sense if Skylor was next to Kai? And at the same time, she began HERSELF to blame him for not being around. (Which pretty toxic). Even though he was busy saving the world. He didn't fool around.

Given the biggest complaint is that she doesn't have enough of her own character explored, this doesn't come off as character bashing. It comes off like a legitimate gripe about the choice the writers took with the character and dynamics that can legitimately be improved upon. Ironically it might just take another Kai focused season to get there, presuming new writers want to dig into her potential of course.

I think it's a little too late for that. I could understand leaving her in the back for possession and skybound as those seasons were centered on lloyd and jay and nya, but she should've made a full return in hands of time where she would be given time to develop her backstory and relations with the group. Now, it's been 12 seasons, so it's probably a little too late to develop her now considering many people discovered ninjago with the movie so they have only watched from season 8 onwards
