And Why Not? Garmadon Considered Humans To Be Parasites, Living As Fertilizer For The Earth. They Defiled

And why not? Garmadon considered humans to be parasites, living as fertilizer for the earth. They defiled everything that the First Spinjitzu Master had created without realizing it. For example, cutting down the same forests, etching rivers, destroying everything necessary, for what? But this is not so important. I dreamed that such a trusting mother of two sons decided to help humanity with the plague, but in return received only a cruel execution. She didn't resist, so as not to show her real appearance. However, Wu and he father did not dare to help her, as they did not want to interfere in human affairs. Garmadon did not like this, seeing in his family only a shadow of grief for the death of his mother. He asked his father - Why should we suffer from the sins of the people?- They are vicious, sinful, animals. For what they have done, there must be a punishment, at least for those who are guilty! However, my father replied, " We will not interfere and become like them." - . Shortly after the father died because of the betrayal of his creation - Samukai and Dexter (For example) . Garmadon descends to find the culprits, but is captured. At first he wanted to get out, but his brother's words prevented him from doing so. "We're not like them!" -. So Garmadon first saw the Church. A terrible creature-a demon, they thought, and they put it on a cross with spikes. The hands are pierced and tightly bound. The churchmen hold a ritual and set fire to the cross as his mother dead . They said he was a monster, a satan, a devil who came from heaven, just like that witch. Our Lord will protect us from these creatures, and in return we will pray for our God and reward him with these carcasses. Seeing all this, he jumped down in a rage and killed everyone. They thought that killing in the name of God was a good thing and brought executions of the most beautiful women " witches "and learned "sorcerers". Wu didn't do anything any more than his father did. This infuriated Garmadon completely. "There are no innocents in the world! -. After that, there was a conversation between the brothers, but Wu was on his father's side and Garm was on his own. And so the battle began. Well, then think about it yourself. 😉

Few people remember that our darkest of monsters were human too. Some were broken in some way. Some thought that they were doing the right thing. Some just lost too much to give a damn anymore. Of course their actions are to be condemned.But for some, there is understanding that can be gleaned. Is there any justification for Garmadon's actions? What is the purpose in power? Why do need all this?

Ultimately that is true. Most villains are actually just broken people who society didn’t bother to care for and just let them go through a broken system. World domination to them actually makes sense in the terms of fixing said system themselves and hoping no one else would ever feel what they felt.

Other times it’s a villain losing someone and the villain just decides to watch the world tear apart from the inside out. They see how awful people are and watched as no one cared about that someone they loved dearly and now the villain wants them to suffer just as much as they did.

For Garmadon though? I came up with a headcanon long ago with a friend of mine on DA and proceeded to add on to it.

We don’t know too much but we do know that Garmadon treasured Lloyd more than anything in the world, loved him more than life itself. So when he saw Lloyd gone and he couldn’t even see his wife in the distance, he broke down. So I told my friend that maybe Garmadon thought if the world was as dark as him, he’d find Lloyd because that’s his little light of his life.

After Garmadon had been cured, he always thought the happy ending he had before him was just a dream. He would’ve been used to that idea since back in his corrupted days, he dreams about the life of being with his wife and kid but then he’d wake up and be all alone. So the idea that he could one day wake up again and not see his wife next to him scared him.

My AU Garm would suggest that his Oni half was thinking something wasn’t right with Lloyd and it wanted to get rid of him (and knowing Oni mythology doesn’t help his case any) which lead to Koko running away from him with Lloyd while Garm was fighting on the inside. When he came to, he mourned at them leaving and basically shut down. The venom took advantage of that negative state of mind and he proceeded with the idea of taking the weapons as his.

We could go into how if Garmadon took over the first time around perhaps Ninjago wouldn’t have to worry about being attacked as often because one, he may have not been the favored son, but he is still the son of their creator. We saw how much power he had being manipulated into gaining it, imagine if he had free will and his human mind in tact. Two, who’s going to go up against an Oni-Dragon hybrid who’d rather seek his family’s safety over vengeance, domination, or just about anything else?

And he probably would’ve had allies, including but not limited to the Serpentine, Skulkin, Time Twins (if he manages to get on Krux’s good side first), Elemental Masters, the Royal Family, etc. Basically anyone else except for Chen and Clouse, because Chen screwed everyone over in the end and he wouldnt look for a repeat and Clouse wasn’t looking to change his mind any time soon.

I don’t know too much about Movie Garmadon as much as I used to admittedly but I think he got the whole four arms thing before he decided to be a “villain” which suggests that when everyone, his friends, acquaintances, strangers, saw how he looked different, he got treated different. He was so used to the whole “monster” title that he decided to become the monster everyone thought him to be... Koko just happened to not change him, but to come to an understanding him just as much he did to her. @dinogaby Can you confirm this headcanon for me?
