I'll say it before and I'll say it again, I genuinely do believe the Iron Baron is one of the greatest Ninjago villains, and the only reason he's so "forgettable" is because he shared a season with HARUMI AND GARMADON, literally fan-favorite, iconic characters who everyone knows and loves. He was one of the best villains, and I REFUSE any slander on his absolutely horrid and evil name!!!!
I never had strong feelings on him. Like I don’t hate him...? Like at the beginning of this series of fanarts, I said I don’t dislike Kai, I just have the least to say about him while still appreciating his existence. Yeah...Iron Baron is like the opposite of that kinda? I don’t hate him, but his mehness doesn’t exactly make him favorable. Anyways with that said usually I can appreciate characters way more after drawing them, get a new perspective, find things to like about them...I ultimately walked away from this one declaring him the Florida Man of Ninjago. So. Yeah. Take from that what you will.
for @legogeek33 who wanted to know when Faith swore

Faith: -self. If he gets the armour, he'll have no need for you, except to kiss his asß
*Shock noises
Iron Baron: *laughs*, let me a(sk)-
That's honestly all I have, but there's been swear replacements. However, this is resolutely and absolutely a swear. That is a phrase man. Even the sound is correct. Look at their shocked reactions, even the dude with morro styled hair.
Wanna watch Ninjago seasons but can't find them on Netflix or don't have the ability to? Other than Lego's channel or Cartoon Network, here is the drive to all episodes, shorts and even the movie: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-OOdzY2lANvqfYs_MNTLdBYHfuDGlroI?usp=sharing
I don't support pirating, but this is an easy way to access Ninjago videos, especially for editing.
I absolutely love this fic because it gives more characterization and worldbuilding to the Hunters in the First Realm. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GO READ IT AND OTHER FICS BY THIS AMAZING AUTHOR!!
Everyone always says the Iron Baron was a boring villain, but he wasn't??? He was just forgettable is all. I mean, he shared a season with LORD GARMADON, ofc people will forget him. That doesn't mean he was bad though, he was awesome!
I be like “hehe yeah Ninjago is such a silly show!!” and then I remember that the Ultra Dragon was caught by a Dragon Hunters and killed so his skeletal remains could be used as a throne.
Okay, I deleted the other roundup since I did not anticipate Tumblr to update and just let us upload 30 pics in one post now, rendering it pointless to break these up lol.
Back to Ninjago now, damn. I remember being how important it was to me to see the s2 finale premiere way back when. Now here we are, at the end again. (I drafted this last night but posting right after seeing the finale- it got me misty eyed tbh. It wasn't perfect, but it gave me the right vibes.) Glad to be back in the fandom at this moment. Something something ninja never quit. This is my love letter to the franchise. I'll still probably do more, maybe try to get a new pic like this out once a month, but yup. Been a blast, can't wait for what's next from the franchise. Now from me, who do you all want to see next? Lesser villains, like generals and such? Side characters like Dareth and Skylor? Other Lego properties?
