Hot take (probably?): Child Lloyd's S1 design should've been recycled for Dragons Rising
BlockTalk Summary
The user /u/KarrieDarling shared an opinion on Reddit, expressing a dislike for the redesign of child Lloyd in the LEGO Ninjago Dragons Rising series. The user feels the redesign, which aligns child Lloyd's appearance with his current design, is inconsistent with the character's earlier appearances in the series.
The main point of contention is the color of child Lloyd's eyes and hair. The user notes that Lloyd's eyes didn't turn green to match his elemental power until Season 8. The redesign in Dragons Rising, which gives child Lloyd green eyes and hair, is seen as counterproductive because it creates an inconsistency with his appearance in the first seven seasons of the Masters of Spinjitzu (MoS) series.
The user acknowledges that the redesign was likely intended to create consistency with Lloyd's current design. However, they argue that this effort fails because the original design was different.
