    Something else that bothers me about the Goblin King in the Netflixs series is that it pulls that trope of, "Oh, this villain wasn't really evil, they were controlled by this mythical object." For one, it automatically nerfs him as a villain, because in that case it was an object possessing him instead of his own actions. And also it takes away a lot of the responsibility for his own actions. He should've chose to do those things, so that way it makes him a more active character and villain. Give him this, at least his voice actor sounds great.

      Can we just.. end the trope of the reedeemed villian in kids cartoons? Easily redeemed villians with tragic backstories are supposed to teach kids to also forgive, but some of the atrocites the villian commits just arent easily reddemable. Doesnt matter if he loves his mom or he was influenced by an evil amulet or they just look cool (looking at you jasper and lapis), those are coppouts. They dont seriously make up for their actions.
      Its an unrealistic moral. Theres a lot of people in thiss world that arent reddemable, and its even worse to teach them (especially common in little girls cartoons) to try and "fix" them, cause it just leads to toxic friendships & relationships.
      They should at least do a Zuko or Discord or Amity redemption where they have to earn their trust/ undo their flawed morals

    I loved this series and it really sucks that it's discontinued. Their sets were so much more worth it in my opinion. Lego Friends is less playable and just repeats sets over and over again, like, there has been a million schools, like 12 different vet clinics and another million hair salons. I'm not saying lego friends sucks, I'm just saying it really doesn't compare to the quality you get from the lego elves sets :C
    Also, I believe their face "tattoos" are actually accessories. They can be taken off and put back on again. I don't remember which webisode it was but I do remember ira taking her crown off.

      I'm with you on this one. The sympathetic villain trope is slowly becoming such a dead horse that unless you can pull off a sympathetic backstory or a fulfilling redemption arc, it comes across as really shallow. Some stories need villains and antagonists who just are horrible people through and through, an example being Midori from Your Turn To Die.

      There is nothing wrong with a villain being redeemed but you need to actually put in the effort, and for the love of god dont pull a fairytale and redeem every single bad guy. My problem with cronan is he has a sympathic backstory and motive but acts like a pure evil villain. You cant have it both ways. Pure evil villain mixed with sympathic villain turns out a boring villain.

      Yeah, there's not really that much drama. The biggest controversy was backlash when the movie came out and the designs from that film were used in the show. That was an insane level of drama.
      Then there are minor drama things like shipping battles but that's not really that big of an issue because controversial ships are really fringe. More people joke about those ships rather than support them and the dominant ships are canon in the show so most support those anyway.
      Lastly, there are some controversies about popular Ninjago UA-camrs or twitter uses being scummy but that's it. All of these are pretty tame and typical relatively speaking. Like it's way less drama than most fandoms have.

      Lego isn't so black and white about appealing to only a single gender even though certain themes are broadly marketed to boys or girls. Like I'm pretty sure the male elf was included to appeal to boys even though Lego Elves is generally aimed at girls.
      Also, Ninjago is surprisingly popular with girls even though most of its fans are boys. Lego even mentioned being surprised by this and made a direct effort from that point on to appeal to girls. They added a girl as a main character and feature her heavily in the marketing material. They also feature real life girls playing with the toys in the commercials alongside boys which very clearly saying "Ninjago is for EVERYONE" with this marketing.

Cronan is the son of the Earth sister, while Rosalyn is the daughter of the water sister (as stated in the character description of Rosalyn on the old official Lego Elves website). While I don't really have a lot against cousin relationships, since that's kinda normal in some parts of the world, but that it was completely left out of the show just bothered me. It seemed as if the writers just wanted to have a twist and a classic relationship trope.

    Adding to your question of "Why does Ragana want the dragons" I assume that this was actually because Noctura (aka the magic well) told her to because the dragon queen is actually Lumina. Since both Noctura and Lumina can transform into all kinds of animals and the color scheme of Lumina, the dragon queen and the animals she transformed into are exactly the same, it's leading me towards the theory that they were the same person/being all along. This makes even more sense when you think about how the dragons were mainly absent when the thing with Noctura started (at least that was how I remembered). It might have been something they wanted to include into the series but didn't, because the whole thing was just an unorganized mess. Getting the dragons and the queen, as well as the babies, could've been Noctura's first attempt to gain Lumina's magic by kidnapping her during a vulnerable state (I assume that Lumina is actually a half-dragon and can actually have babies in that state. But because she has to take care of her babies, she must stay in that dragon form for a while) and eventually escape from the shadow world.

    I think the reason why baby dragons wouldn't survive is because of how much attention they need. Parrots can't be alone in the house, they will die if they lose their partner. They don't even have to be sick, they'll just die out of loneliness

    This show deserves more seasons. I loved it a lot but never got any of the sets

    I remember Elves had a special that aired on TV and then the Netflix series came out before suddenly fluttering out of existence. I found it appealing to both boys and girls.

    Ok but can we please talk about how godly the Netflix series’ art style looks?

    this show had no right to be as compelling, funny, wholesome, and ultimately great as it is

    thank you for making this. i loved playing with lego elves with my sister and we would get the sets together but then they just stopped showing up in stores and it was a super bummer also (this wasn't addressed in your video) but the show almost seems out of order with the lego releases. like the troll stuff came out (at least in stores near me) before the dragon stuff came out and the animal spirit stuff. thank you for the video.

    This was a major part of my childhood, I was so sad to see it end. I called lego once and asked them why they ended it, and their excuse was, “our designers ran out of ideas, so we figured it was a good time to end it.” 🥺😩😭😭😭

    I remember I just had a few sets. They were my favorite sets ever because of how cool and mystical the characters and sets were. I never knew about the series

    One of my pride and joys is that I own every set from the first Lego Elves season, the one where human girl had to get back to her world. Sadly I couldn't keep up though, so I only have three sets from the other seasons
