Long before time had a name, Ninjago was created by the First Spinjitzu Master, using the Four Weapons of Spinjitzu. The Scythe of Quakes, the Nunchucks of Lightning, the Shurikens of Ice and the Sword of Fire. Weapons so powerful, no one can handle all of their power at once! When he passed away, his two sons swore to protect them, but the oldest was consumed by darkness and wanted to possess them. A battle between brothers broke out, and the oldest was struck down and banished to the Underworld. Peace returned, and the younger brother hid the weapons, but knowing his older brother's relentless ambition for power, he placed a guardian to protect them. And for fear of his own demise, a map for an honest man to hide. That honest man was your father. The older brother is Lord Garmadon, and I... need to find those weapons before he does

I don't even play these games or like Batman all that much, I literally joined JUST because of the insanity and it's still to this day one of my favorite subreddits lmao

u/kanguran1 21h ago

Well you’re in luck because all we have is Man, batboy hasn’t been seen in years.

u/OpeningMaterial5078 Am I stupid? 10h ago

I joined for the insanity too but I did played Arkham Knight and ngl it is a really good game

7

u/Mrpenguin810 8h ago

I played a couple Arkham games and I’m a superhero nerd but I also joined for insanity. TBH I’m glad it prepared for the downfall(rebirth) of r/invincible when the show ended

5

u/OpeningMaterial5078 Am I stupid? 8h ago

Also, put in perspective that any kind of content with a really big young demographic, will have this type of content, JJK also went through this and Invincible is going through this too

1

u/Mrpenguin810 45m ago

Yea that too, I’m only 18 so I probably fit into that demographic lol, I don’t think the insanity is a bad thing honestly I’m just glad to see these lil fandoms surviving however they can

u/WhyAreOldPeopleEvil Alsume Inmate 20h ago

Nope, I’m here cause Mutahar referenced this subreddit on one of his videos.

He was blabbering about how y’all infected his sub so I thought, “I’ll join in!”. 💀

u/BiggestJez12734755 Yeah. I’m Stupid 17h ago

No. I didn’t even play the games lol, I heard about the insanity already when I got Reddit-

4

u/No_Sound_5564 Perseverer Of Madness 18h ago

It all started when just one person made ONE post and ONE typo that doomed the club. It was a poll for which Arkham game was the worst, but he misspelt "Asylum" as "Assume" and some other stuff came along the way, but that was the main reason.

u/Zockerisin 18h ago

No, I joined after it became insane, liked it and then played the games

u/Sauryn_Makyr 15h ago

No. Because I wasn't here when it was normal.

u/TGB_Skeletor Red Hood 14h ago

I was there

2

u/CrazyLlamaX 13h ago

I used to follow this sub, partially because I love the game, but also because I just couldn’t help but take some schadenfreude like joy from seeing people constantly coping about the “NEXT ARKHAM GAME ANYDAY NOW GUYS!”

2

u/somefuqboi 12h ago

Normbal? What is that???????

2

u/Wboy2006 R.I.P Kevin Conroy 11h ago

Yes. I was there.
I’m glad we went insane TBH, it was incredibly lame. Just “what is your favorite game/boss/etc?” posts and that was it. There was nothing left to discuss

1

u/ARandomDude0nline 19h ago

Tbf, I think it only started to go downhill back in like 2022. Before that, it was just slightly insane.

u/jere8802 19h ago

u/Liar183 15h ago

u/chourael 14h ago

I came here after the fall of the sanity,with the many other insane I was seeking a place of insanity and I found one

1

u/Psychological-Way-41 14h ago

Makes me wonder how many people joined for the actual game (and are still here) before it all went insane

2

u/Gr33nUp20 11h ago

Loved the games and was nicely surprised that there existed a subreddit for the franchise. Well now we are here...

1

u/redmagic17 12h ago

What is this, some kind of bat Man?

1

u/Kind_Pop_9940 12h ago

No, I think I came here from the Skylanders sub to get some laughs. :)

1

u/Gr33nUp20 11h ago

I was there when it started. First I was bamboozled with arkham world, cause I legit thought that's a game that will be released next year, and then it became a chain reaction. From aslume to "is he stupid?" and officer balls of course and so on...

1

u/No-Jellyfish-3364 who the FUCK am i? 11h ago

I joined because of the insanity

1

u/MrManGuyDude22 10h ago

u/ThePieGod8 7h ago

i do remember, but the insanity is much preferable to seeing the same "arkham origins is underrated" post every week

1

u/Lemonsqueezzyy yeah...i'm Man 5h ago

No

1

u/MelodicFondant 5h ago

I remember unironically.

I posted some shitty reddit memes,and everyone kept talking about how "Origins is underrated,knight is bad"

Like if we hadn't started jonkling, we wouldn't have much of a subreddit considering the unfortunate sequel to arkham knight

u/PacketOf_Sauce who the FUCK am i? 5h ago
