See, I don't mind Monstrux being there all three years because it's kinda fun seeing a guy so evil he refuses to die, and keeps getting reincarnated in new bodies like a book, a cloud, or a living computer virus. What bugged me was how they treated Jestro. Guy went through SO MUCH development near the end of the first arc. It was great watching him come around and thrive and even be SUPPORTED by the knights.... and then all that character development went out the window 'cause Monstrux zapped him in year 2. I was SO HAPPY to see Jestro join the knights in year 3 as a good guy minifig, but... yeah, Monstrux should've found some other muscle in year 2.
Back when lego nexo knights was thriving I ran a nexo knight fan club and I remember everyone was at edge of there seats when stone colossus was revealed. Nexo knights is what got me into lego.
I actually really liked this series. Personally, I think it’s better than Dreamzzz. It’s got a unique theme and was very creative. I wish it could have been better in terms of the series, but the sets were absolutely fantastic.
I agree, I loved nexo knights as a kid, my first Lego set from lego land was a nexo knights Lego set. I definitely think the concept and execution was better than dreamzzz, and maybe even chima. For Lego shows it ranks number 2 behind ninjago and next to lego Jurassic world, I also grew up with that although I watch the original movies way more often than the Lego one
@@adetounfrances in my opinion nexo knights was better then dreamzzz is. It might just be nostalgia but I just think they did better with it and not making it entirely for kids. Dreamzzz feels like more of a show for very young kids while nexo knights felt more on the level of ninjago
THE Nexo Knights' ability to use the NEXO powers to disintigrate the monsters was called back to in Crystallized, when the Ninja used their vehicles to defeat the Vengestone Warriors.
The single greatest area where Nexo Knights failed was the show and in a multimedia Lego world, it cannot be understand how crucial it is to have good Lego media to market your theme. Themes live and due on having a good tv show, movie, books, or comics. Regarding the show, I remember giving Nexo Knights a chance but the season, at least the first one, just didn't give me any reason to keep watching. The villain felt silly and unintimidating, the characters were one-note, voice acting was cheesy, and the techno-future vibe just felt really weird. Each episode also felt like the same thing over and over again and the characters weren't entertaining enough to keep watching since they were almost all so flat (barring Clay and Macy a bit). And later seasons didn't improve quickly enough. Season 3 felt like a repeat of season 1 because nothing changed. There was no evolving story like there was in Ninjago, it was just a new bad guy army but still the same big bads. There was no reason for me to watch when Ninjago was putting out Possession at the same time. I actually heard good things about season 4 because they started to do something interesting with Clay and have an ongoing story but that came too little too late. If they started that interesting arc in season 2 I and others might have been interested. And I have to compare all this again to Ninjago (which is the gold standard and Nexo Knight's competition) which already had a changing status quo since its first season, changing villains, deeper characters, and a better tone across the board. It's easy to see why Ninjago succeeded where Nexo Knights failed.
Also I feel like this show didn’t do much to differentiate itself from Ninjago. I’ll respect Chima for at least trying to do something different with its world. Not to mention (maybe I’m wrong cause I don’t remember this show all to well) all of their problems are solved holding a shield over their head and getting Nexo powers. Compare this to when the original four ninja had to go through an individual journey just to unlock their true potential and each grew as a character because of it.
So Japan and China are actually really fascinated with western medieval fantasy. Look at japans fantasy output, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Legends of Zelda, Dark Souls. that's just naming the popular ones . From my understanding China is a bit of the same way. I know they love World of Warcraft. In a surprising turn of events the hard place to market medieval fantasy is America. Stuff like D&D was always seen as a niche nerdy thing really up until the Lord of The Rings movies. But even at that still wouldn't reach the highs until really now. They view it like how we view ninjas and samurai. A European castle theme is an easier digest for Asia than the USA.
With the recent Ninjago seasons revolving around The Merge, it could stand to reason that Nexo Knights may logically appear in Ninjago now. Before the merge, we only knew the realms of: The First Realm, Ninjago, UnderWorld, Realm of Madness, Cursed Realm, Djinnjago, and the Departed Realm (Prime Empire as a realm is debatable). It’s possible that the Realm Nexo Knights is in could’ve combined with the rest in the merge.
@The_Mecha_Archivist Ras gave Chima vibes the moment I saw him. And they should give some sense of Finality with Nexo Knights with seeing the knights interact with the Ninja.
It’s been confirmed by Tommy and Grayson that next night does not take place within the continuity of Ninjago rather than Ninjago is actually an universe TV show, but there are two characters and dragons rising named after both Robin and Ava
Considering the fact the Dreamzzz Ninjago crossover mentioned the Nexo Knights at the end, they may do a crossover with that show, and maybe, JUST maybe, Lego will gain the support and motivation to fully finish the Nexo Knights show, with some of the issues being addressed and fixed to the best of the writers' ability 🤔
I feel that one of the reasons that nexo knight was cancelled was that it was competing with many others themes and it was to similar to ninjago (a group of colourful heroes with modern tech )why buy a nexo knight mech or a dragon or a car when ninjago is there for you a theme that many people already know that they liked
I tend to gravitate towards themes that have interesting pieces and colour schemes to them, and Nexo knights does that. I imagine I would have loved the villain minifigures as a child because they seem very versatile, like you could fit them in a lot of your own stories. In the end, Nexo knights is a great theme to buy seperate parts from, to me
Nexo knights was great for the fantasy fan. Armies of rock monsters, red demons, cool knight armors and weapons etc. I have so many different nexo pieces in my moc fantasy world. I honestly think it was better than ninjago.
Never thought of anyone would upload a video about Nexo knights. I truly appreciate your thoughts and good production on the video! I’m a fan and love Nexo knights and I’m just happy seeing someone still I talk about it!
While Nexo Knights wasn’t the greatest theme ever, I really enjoyed a few episodes of the TV show growing up & a few of the minifigure designs are really cool like Rogul, General Garg, or Lord Krakenskull for example. But in the end, there wasn’t anything that really made the theme stand out to me.
Im sad cuz it was my favorite lego theme and i have so many sets, even the biggest ones from s2 (like the colussus and jesters headquarters) and I loved it. I was so hyped when i saw the trailer for s3 and it never came😢
I like the idea of jestro being an overarching villan. I just wish the armies didn't come out of monstrox. Like, they shouldn't have turned jestro good in the season 2 finalie and made him have to learn to be a villan on his own. Maybe they still could have had jestro get his lightning power and the monstrox staff, but without monstrox holding jestros hand. And like, arnoldi could have been his number 2. I think it would have been a cool idea for jestro to form allies with people who were also wronged by society. If we ever see a nexo knights return(like a 5th season, reboot, or crossover with dreamzzz) I think that the villan should be jestro but all on his own. #Jestro
Great video! I have a soft spot for this theme and it actually happened this year, when i decided to see the show. I didn't have any of the sets, i didn't know anything about it, only that it existed. I actually liked the show, especially after the first 2 seasons, i think the writters really wanted to make it as great as ninjago. Yes it isn't the best, as you said most of the episodes are following the same format and it gets a bit boring, but it is a nice saturday-morning type cartoon. The concept for me is really intresting. I don't think that lego wanted to make a medieval type of theme but something cool and awesome like ninjago, but i see that some people wanted more a classic knights theme. The sets weren't the best either in my opinion, the bigger ones are great, i love the fortrex, the castle and Jestro's lair and some of the smaller ones had actually some nice concept and design. On the other hand some sets just looked ugly for me, especially in the second year with the rock monsters. The figures were amazing, i love all of them, i wish i had some. It's just, lego really tries to compete with ninjago by making a new theme that follows the same format but they can't beat it because they want the new theme to be extremely successful from the first wave. They actually have amazing concepts for themes but they have to stop following ninjago's footsteps. I love the elves line, it lasted 4 years, it had much better lego sets than nexo knights (even a better storyline) in my opinion and that's because they just didn't copy ninjago. I think they learned this lesson with dreamzz wich looks very promising and has it's own identity. I would really appreciate if the next video is about elves or dreamzz, i love this type of videos of yours. Sorry for my big comment but i love talking about lego themes...
I LOVE this theme! I was around 10-13 when this theme was released to when it ended, and I gotta say, it's probably my favorite Lego theme ever! Part of it might be the nostalgia of buying these massive (for me at the time) sets, most notably getting the Fortrex on my birthday, but also because it was the first theme I invested heavily in. I had the app as well, and yeah, it had its fair share of bugs and glitches, but those didn't stop me from beating the whole game! I had a really enjoyable experience with it, and the theme overall resonated with me in a way no other Lego theme has before since then. I was really sad when they canceled the show, because now we'll never know how it ended! All in all, I think the ratings you gave it were fair, but when you spend more time around the theme it really starts to grow on you.
I only saw the first two seasons of Nexo Knights before I converted back to Ninjago, but it and my one Clay minifigure have a special reserved spot in my heart right next to Jaya
I went back an rewatched the show recently and I was quite surprised by how well done it is. It's far from a masterpiece, but it's not bad at all. Seasons 1 and 2 were surprisingly fun, and seasons 3 and 4 were improvements in practically every way. Yes, it's repetative, but the characters were endearing enough to keep me entertained (Mark Oliver, voice of Lord Garmadon, as Monstrux was absolutely perfect).
In the repetitive episode thing There’s 2 special episodes in season 1 I think Jestro actually captures all the knights in the first episode, ending on a cliffhanger The next episode Aaron escapes and frees them But this only happened once in season 1
The app was quite good actually, it ran pretty well and had a LOT of stuff packed in. Scanning the shields was great (and going to the store to scan them off the boxes was fun too, lol)
Tbh Nexo Knights reminds me of War Hammer 40K with the whole sci-fi fantasy approach as well as how the Knights in this theme look very similar to the Space Marines. I swear give the blue Nexo Knights some Star Wars blasters and you got Lego War Hammer. Ok someone has to tell Henry Cavill about this theme asap seeing that he's a massive fan lol.
One thing most didn’t notice (me included, for a while), is that it was the futuristic point of the Classic Lego Castle theme. This is more evident with Clay, whose symbol was a blue falcon (as in, the Black Falcons), and his last name, Moorington”, refers to the Moorington Swamps of Lego Kingdoms 2.
I can't lie my big hang up with the series was the uniformity of the vehicles and the lack of cool structure sets. I know they usually don't do as well, but man I wish we got just one village set to see how normal people live and give the sets a feeling there's something here to fight for.
If that didn't exist then the show might have lasted longer,i watched this when i was 9 and i didn't even get to see seasons 3-4 cause i could not find them but this show is what got me into scifi and a decent chunk of lego. So the fact it got cancelled just makes me sad😢
Please do lego elves next! Also I agree with you on the point about repetitive episodes but Miraculous Ladybug has a very repetitive plot; random person who gets a grudge towards Marinette gets acumotised and then they fight with Cat Noir and Ladybug and get UNacumotised and a good guy again, relising their mistakes. Don't understand exactly how it became so popular more than other repetitive shows?? The romance plot points? Meets it's demographic?
From a parent perspective, I love it. Nexo is a great lego theme. It's cool, is kinda classical, and most important decently priced and not inflated by scalper like starwars. Easily pick up 30-40% discount sets for kids.
In my opinion, Nexo Knights was an amazing Lego franchise because of how unique it is. For example, there are the customizable shields, which are a cool thing they added to spice the franchise up. Everybody can have their own opinion, but I'm sticking to this one.
I found your channel and enjoyed your videos and was gonna binge them all but it turned out to be a pretty short binge, would watch if you made more :)
bro, please Hero Factory needs an in-depth review like this it's such an awesome show that they really should have done more with in my opinion at least
Nexo Knights was my Castle. I missed out on all the Castle themes before it, and while the season one and two sets didn't pull me in, the season three sets did, especially the show given some of the things they revealed. For example, Clay's mother! As well as what happened with him after getting struck by Monstrox's dark magic. I really loved the idea for the final wave of sets, but upon learning that this wave wouldn't get it's season, I personally was devastated since I was really getting into it, and wanted to see how they would destroy Monstrox once and for all, and how Clay's story was going to go as well.
From what I remember seeing it was super cool. I'd definitely put it on the same level as power miners and space police 3. If it had come out when I was a kid I'd have been all over it.
I found that Monstrux was an awesome villain with his monster army. Season 2 had a better story build with the Knights. Perhaps what should've happened was a season where technology failed or was destroyed causing thw Nexo world to fall into the Dark Ages. Very Fun builds though. Even more so with the Mini Fig Sets so you could create your own monster army
I think the builds were outstanding with play features especially for there prices compared to todays “dreams” and I have 2nd grade nostalgia for trading the little shield power ups but I don’t think people were ready for a second sort of ninjago
Yeah the characters are funny But every episodes they fight monsters and defeat them by Next knight power is kinda Boring there’s new ideas and No new mani villains
I enjoyed these, I enjoyed the buildable monsters and a few of the mechs, I still have the black knight and fortrex set in my possession, I have jestros castle but it is in tons of peices sadly
Never get fully invested in to the Nexo knights theme but personally I think nothing will replace and defeat Ninjago at any time soon in the next 10 to 20 years if they never run out of ideas and it's set waves and it's tv show has done so many different themed seasons over the years and it's been here since 2011 and yet many other original Lego themes try to end it but everyone of them failed to do so because those themes were not like what makes Lego Ninjago the theme that we still know and buy sets from today and why end something if it works and sells well.
The thing about Ninjago to me is that it has become distinctly different from what it was 10 years ago. Now I'm like, "Oh wow, ANOTHER season of Ninjago. Yaaayy..." (sarcasm) because it at this point Lego is just milking it for money. The last few seasons of the show haven't been that great, and the sets are just meh. Even though it's not the worst theme in the history of Lego, it's not getting any of my money anymore.
I feel like this is something a bit important you missed but there is an nexo knights "book of monsters" book that tells you about all the monsters and some other things. theres even many monsters in the book that were not in the show. theres even 2 new "factions" of monsters being the nature and ocean monsters.
Yoooo how about Hidden Side! I never got any sets, but I think the show was pretty good, as well as the idea of two teenagers fighting off ghosts with their phones XDD, as well as the sets!
It was actually created by 3 guys who made up the idea during a competition to get employed by Lego as designers I believe and were given futuristic pieces to make something unique and decided to make knights instead as the people at Lego would be expecting something futuristic
Time would have been good for this theme,but unfortunatly i dont think lego is going to revisit It with a New set of minds to think It throught better then when It originaly came out
See, I don't mind Monstrux being there all three years because it's kinda fun seeing a guy so evil he refuses to die, and keeps getting reincarnated in new bodies like a book, a cloud, or a living computer virus. What bugged me was how they treated Jestro. Guy went through SO MUCH development near the end of the first arc. It was great watching him come around and thrive and even be SUPPORTED by the knights.... and then all that character development went out the window 'cause Monstrux zapped him in year 2. I was SO HAPPY to see Jestro join the knights in year 3 as a good guy minifig, but... yeah, Monstrux should've found some other muscle in year 2.

When it comes to his nemesis, Merlok, if you can’t beat ‘em, join them and then them at their own game.
@@Qoobon_Actually he was springtrap before HW released sooo
Did the virus episodes even release?

I Miss Nexo Knights I used to have the Lance character but I lost some of the weapons and man good old days
Nexo knights had some of the most breathtaking and badass moments in lego's history. For example: clay vs jestro's army in season 1 finale
I actually really liked this series. Personally, I think it’s better than Dreamzzz. It’s got a unique theme and was very creative. I wish it could have been better in terms of the series, but the sets were absolutely fantastic.
The Grimspawn could have easily been a shadow monsters if Monstrox had them

Nexo knights was so cool, Lego should make more big bang themes, u should review monkie kid next
Agreed although I don’t like monkish kid as much because it’s impossible for me to get the sets with out a huge price hike
yeah
Nexo Knights was a theme that I dismissed, but looking back I appreciate more and more.
I just want more castles.

I love the theme of futuristic knights. I kinda hope someone else dose something with this theme. Maybe an anime or manga.
Noted...
I always loved this series :)

Nexo knights was great for the fantasy fan. Armies of rock monsters, red demons, cool knight armors and weapons etc. I have so many different nexo pieces in my moc fantasy world. I honestly think it was better than ninjago.

Great video. Thanks for creating this channel.
bro i grew up with the nexo knights tv show and game. i loved scaning shields and fighting the monsters. it was a amazing lego wave.
I’m bias when it comes to Lego sets, and I personally think that the sets are amazing.
*I miss Lego nexo knights so much*
Nexo knights was my childhood. So nostalgic. 30/30
Well, it’s basically the same as ninjago because you have the overlord in multiple seasons.
I went back an rewatched the show recently and I was quite surprised by how well done it is. It's far from a masterpiece, but it's not bad at all. Seasons 1 and 2 were surprisingly fun, and seasons 3 and 4 were improvements in practically every way.

From a parent perspective, I love it. Nexo is a great lego theme. It's cool, is kinda classical, and most important decently priced and not inflated by scalper like starwars. Easily pick up 30-40% discount sets for kids.
In my opinion, Nexo Knights was an amazing Lego franchise because of how unique it is. For example, there are the customizable shields, which are a cool thing they added to spice the franchise up. Everybody can have their own opinion, but I'm sticking to this one.
I found your channel and enjoyed your videos and was gonna binge them all but it turned out to be a pretty short binge, would watch if you made more :)
Planning on getting back in to it but it will still be a bit
@@bricklore710 Sounds good, take your time :)
I remember watching this show when I was like 5 I’m so glad to find something about this
bro, please
Hero Factory needs an in-depth review like this it's such an awesome show that they really should have done more with
in my opinion at least
At least the Virus saga had some comics.
Nexo Knights was my Castle. I missed out on all the Castle themes before it, and while the season one and two sets didn't pull me in, the season three sets did, especially the show given some of the things they revealed. For example, Clay's mother! As well as what happened with him after getting struck by Monstrox's dark magic. I really loved the idea for the final wave of sets, but upon learning that this wave wouldn't get it's season, I personally was devastated since I was really getting into it, and wanted to see how they would destroy Monstrox once and for all, and how Clay's story was going to go as well.
Fr it ended on a cliff hanger we never actually got to find out what happened to clays mother or hoe monstrox became a tech Villain
I agree whit the cliffanger they gave us but for some closure you can watch cooperaceproductions version of nexo knights
From what I remember seeing it was super cool. I'd definitely put it on the same level as power miners and space police 3. If it had come out when I was a kid I'd have been all over it.
Do lego Elves next!
I only collected the impulse buy and polybag Nexo Knights sets but those were great
More than good, the series was EPIC! I feel like people didn't give it a chance.
So, once I found something like this on the internet - nexo knights dragon knights. And there were many fanstastic characters.
What? Where?
my favourit theme was exo force.
ANd it also has trhe best value out of ANY other lego theme. with incredibles sets
Space exploration, I also have a fortress a absolute banger set, it's insane
I’m mad I never got any Nexo sets. The figs are sick as hell and would be rad in a future city larp area.
Did I just see Bionicle as an option to cover? That better be G.1 tho, would love to see it.
Awesome work😄
The next video may be about the Hidden side.
I wonder how Lego dreamzz is doing, if it has a future or if it's already in ruins
We haven’t finished the App Game before the Lego Account was erased.
I found that Monstrux was an awesome villain with his monster army.
Season 2 had a better story build with the Knights.
Perhaps what should've happened was a season where technology failed or was destroyed causing thw Nexo world to fall into the Dark Ages.
Very Fun builds though. Even more so with the Mini Fig Sets so you could create your own monster army
Nexo knights had a very power rangers format to their episodes 😂
I played the game and collected so many of the shield plates to the point i needed a box for it.
Mixels would be fun to see
Clay had some so much depth even if it was just like Lloyd
I think the builds were outstanding with play features especially for there prices compared to todays “dreams” and I have 2nd grade nostalgia for trading the little shield power ups but I don’t think people were ready for a second sort of ninjago
Amazing work nexo knights
Yeah the characters are funny
But every episodes they fight monsters and defeat them by
Next knight power is kinda Boring there’s new ideas and
No new mani villains
I actually liked lego nexo Knights
I feel like axels peices could be very good for other things, of the top of my head I’m thinking of heavy from tf2 and mr incredible
I loved Nexo Knights. I didn’t care much for the show, but the sets were wonderful. Lego needs to make for modern Castle themes
i miss nexo nights bc it used to be my favourite
tbh for me it's top 3 lego series
Lego nexo knights was my childhood i loved that show so much i was so sad when it gor cancelled
I enjoyed these, I enjoyed the buildable monsters and a few of the mechs, I still have the black knight and fortrex set in my possession, I have jestros castle but it is in tons of peices sadly
Never get fully invested in to the Nexo knights theme but personally I think nothing will replace and defeat Ninjago at any time soon in the next 10 to 20 years if they never run out of ideas and it's set waves and it's tv show has done so many different themed seasons over the years and it's been here since 2011 and yet many other original Lego themes try to end it but everyone of them failed to do so because those themes were not like what makes Lego Ninjago the theme that we still know and buy sets from today and why end something if it works and sells well.
The thing about Ninjago to me is that it has become distinctly different from what it was 10 years ago. Now I'm like, "Oh wow, ANOTHER season of Ninjago. Yaaayy..." (sarcasm) because it at this point Lego is just milking it for money. The last few seasons of the show haven't been that great, and the sets are just meh. Even though it's not the worst theme in the history of Lego, it's not getting any of my money anymore.
Ultra Agents or galaxy squad pleaseeeeeee
ninjago WAS great,but now their sets are really boring to build
whereas nexo knights for me is a nostalgic masterpiece and it should be continued
I owned a couple of sets from the 5th season, and i really find it weird that they released sets but canceled the show.
I feel like this is something a bit important you missed but there is an nexo knights "book of monsters" book that tells you about all the monsters and some other things. theres even many monsters in the book that were not in the show. theres even 2 new "factions" of monsters being the nature and ocean monsters.
I always like this show. I've never got to see season 2 or 3 on Netflix though😅
Yoooo how about Hidden Side! I never got any sets, but I think the show was pretty good, as well as the idea of two teenagers fighting off ghosts with their phones XDD, as well as the sets!
Nexo was dope
bro i use to play this game like 7 years ago the good timee 😔
It was actually created by 3 guys who made up the idea during a competition to get employed by Lego as designers I believe and were given futuristic pieces to make something unique and decided to make knights instead as the people at Lego would be expecting something futuristic
Heavily inspired by warhammer 40k, I want next knights as an adult now
Great video!! My favorite part of nexo nights is the Legos. I think you should do a video on hero factory next
Didnt expect to see nickon here
لطالما احببت هذا العرض وتمنيت وبشدة ان يعود بشكل اقوى بمرافقة القليل من الرومانسية ..لكن انصدمت عندما علمت ان العرض تم ايقافه
These Lego sets kinda reminded me of Spiral Knights (don't really know why), but I never managed to get my hands on them.
Hero Factory would be interesting to cover
Time would have been good for this theme,but unfortunatly i dont think lego is going to revisit It with a New set of minds to think It throught better then when It originaly came out
Yeah, but i great idea. You fixed the lego nexo knights.
mixels have to be next so nostalgic
The first two waves were PEAK. Ngl, after that it fell apart
Nexo knights was my favourite lego show and i’m so sad that it got canceled😭😭😭
The new season also looked so good! Too bad it was never released…..
