Sorry, but MockingbirdInc already made a thread for ranking all of the Ninjago seasons.
You can even find it on the first page of this forum.
Well sorry, but I didn't see it, plus this is my version.
Edit: Well, I just saw that I posted on it. XD I just completely forgot about it. lol Anyway, this is my version! And my apologies if he thinks I copied him. I just forgot. Also, mine is updated and his is 2017. XD To each his own. What are your rankings?
Well, since I don't see how this thread is different from the one by MockingbirdInc, I really think it would have been better if you just posted your rankings there.
As for my rankings, I'll probably get around to those eventually. I'm definitely not ready for it now, though.
#7 Season 9: Hunted: A pretty good season! I liked how the ninja were the underdogs, and still came out on top. It really makes you appreciate there perseverance more. Wu's development was great!
#6 Season 2: Legacy of the Green Ninja: Good season! I loved the filler episodes, oddly enough, and the finale was great!
#5 Season 13: Master of the Mountain: The best of the new seasons, and just a fun and emotional ride. Cole finally got a season, and he did not fail us! Wow, great job new animating crew!
#4 Season 3: Rebooted: More controversy, as many people don't like this season till the finale, but man, I loved it! I just felt like it had so much going on, and some unexpected different-feel episodes! And of course the finale was incredible.
#3 Season 4: Tournament of Elements: This season was awesome. Seeing other Elemental Masters, Garmadon character build, Skylor, and finally Zane being alive made this one of the best seasons ever. 'Nuff said.
#2 Season 5: Possession: Wow. This season was nuts. The whole "scary" feel was sick, along with maybe the best Ninjago villain. We got pretty good character development on almost all the ninja. Ronin was a great side character, and once again the finale was great! Just an AWESOME season as a whole. One of the best.
#1 (First!) Season 6: Skybound: Controversy again, but this season is the best of all time. Jay and Nya were just amazing, and the other Ninja were fantastic as well! And Nadakhan... Wow. Forget what I said about Morro; he is the best Ninjago villain. The whole "picking off the ninja" was a great idea, and executed greatly. We just had sooooo many good characters in this season, Sky Pirates included! Not to mention the great episodes. And the ending was off the charts. I know a lot of people don't like the "turning back time" wish, but somehow I loved it. Jaya was finally real. The best season hands down, and watching it makes me feel so happy. Even if you weren't a Jaya fan, this season still had an awesome feel. It can't get better than this one.
Okay, what are your rankings?
Wow, my ranking is nearly identical! Yes, go skybound! Although I haven't seen MOTM yet, just finished prime empire yesterday!

It's not different, just newer. I feel like that doesn't matter, with all due respect. And I'm not going to delete my thread just because someone already did it before me! Also, that's your opinion. If I had remembered that he posted the thread before me, than I would not of posted this one. I don't copy people's stuff. This thread is more updated and has season's 9-13 anyway; he didn't do past season 8.
Your good! Take your time. This thread ended up taking me thirty minutes to type out! XD

That's sick!!! Yesssss. That's cool; I think it's pretty good!
I'll dare to propagate my probably unpopular opinions. I won't bother to explain 'em much, though. =P Here we go:
#15 - Season 11: Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu. Dimensionless characters, inconsequential stories, and the Never-Realm was out of place. Forbidden Spinjitzu was a cool idea, but it didn't redeem anything.
#14 - Season 9: Hunted. As I said, my opinions are probably unpopular. I was massively disappointed by the Dragon Armor MacGuffin turning out to be totally useless.
#13 - Season 13: Master of the Mountain. I don't know why people like this season, but I don't mean to offend or insult anyone who does. Personally, I thought there were way too many side characters and that the plot itself was trivial.
#12 - Day of the Departed. Yes, I'm counting this. It was rushed. And disappointing. Majorly.
#11 - Season 8: Sons of Garmadon. I didn't like the new dark, angsty tone. Also I'm still bitter about the redesigns.
#10 - Season 10 - March of the Oni. You may have noticed by now that I'm not much of a fan of post-movie seasons. The Oni were incredibly bathetic.
#9 - Season 12: Prime Empire. Actually, this season wasn't terrible, but it was also pretty unremarkable.
#8 - Season 3 - Rebooted. Time was I thought Rebooted was the worst season by a long shot, but now... well, I still hate the love triangle, but The Titanium Ninja had some redeeming value.
#7 - Season 7 - Hands of Time. This isn't really any better than Rebooted to me, but I liked the concept of the element of Time. Unfortunately, the writing was subpar and the Vermillion were total jokes.
#6 - Season 6 - Skybound. Skybound was quite good, actually. It was just a side plot.
#5 - Pilots. Counting these too. I liked 'em. A lot. Other things were better, though. =P
#4 - Season 5: Possession. I wasn't sure about this one for a long time, but the farther I get from watching it, the more I like it.
#3 - Season 2: The Final Battle. I call it that. It's good. Stone Warriors are cool.
#2 - Season 1: Rise of the Snakes. 'Nuff said. ZX ninja are best ninja. =P
#1 - Season 4: Tournament of Elements. Excellent in every respect. Chen absolutely sold it for me.

(I’ll update this when I eventually watch seasons 11-13.)
For now, this is my ranking (probably also unpopular. )
#12: Season 6: Skybound I’m sorry, I really just can’t bring myself to care about any of the ninjas’ love lives; it’s not why I watch Ninjago. I feel like they could’ve saved such a story for a short special, rather than spending a whole season on it. The entirety of Skybound was a melodrama. Nadakhan was a pretty good villain, but the story kinda cast aside logic for his sake; if Djiinjago was automatically destroyed because it was next to the Cursed Realm, wouldn’t that cause a chain reaction in which every realm is destroyed? Zane is literally an AI, he should’ve outsmarted Nadakhan; Nadakhan needing to be married in order to get to full power... talk about cliché. Most of the Ninja got little screen time here, Jay and Nya’s drama didn’t need its own season, and the final nail in the coffin: the ending made Skybound literally a filler arc.
#11: Season 6.5: Day of the Departed It should’ve been a regular 20-minute episode just focusing on the stuff with Cole and Yang (which was a good story). Just say the other Ninja were on a mission. The returning villains were jokes. Not much else to say... Pythor’s great character development from season 4 was retconned away for the sake of a cameo.
#10: Pilot Episodes A decent foundation. The characters were fun and the lore was intriguing. Garmadon, however, was just a ripoff of Makuta Teridax from Bionicle in nearly every regard, and Kai was kind of an annoying and cheesy protagonist. Luckily, both those characters were good from season 1 onward.
#9: Season 8: Sons of Garmadon I used to love this season, but now I think it’s just alright. The story was... cool, and I don’t mind the idea of a soft reboot, but it came at the WORST time, after the awesome cliffhanger ending of season 7, pretty much ignoring most of what that season set up. Where are the Time Twins? Where are Ray and Maya? Doesn’t matter, I guess, since the show went in a different direction due to the movie... even though the movie literally took place in a completely different universe. The villains were a (mostly) human motorcycle gang, so yeah, the least interesting collective villains by default. I liked how wonderfully sadistic post-reveal Harumi was, and her motivation for hating the ninja and idolizing Garmadon made sense, but her desire to create an authoritative dictatorship certainly didn’t, unless I missed something about her political ideologies. And as others have said, Garmadon being brought back comically evil and destroying all his character development... yikes.
#8: Season 7: The Hands of Time This season may have been slow paced and cringeworthy at times, but what it did for the lore, I really liked. The backstory with the Time Twins and their battle with Wu and Garmadon was awesome, even if they were underdeveloped villains (I kinda see them as old martial arts movie villains, same with Chen), and we finally saw what happened with Kai and Nya’s parents. Not to mention that awesome finale and cliffhanger that completely subverted how the seasons usually end. Too bad season 8 mostly ignored all that, like I said.
#7: Season 10: March of the Oni Nice tribute to Ninjago as a whole, and it finally fixed Garmadon (part way?) after season 8 ruined him. The short length ensured that the story didn’t overstay its welcome like seasons 6 and 7, but it was a double-edged sword, since the Oni weren’t developed villains at all, and were just comically evil, like the season 8 villains. The Cole “dying” subplot didn’t go anywhere (surely I’m not the only one who thought he would ride out of the Departed Realm on the Ultra Dragon in the form of the new Legacy UD set at the end, right? I mean come on, it was the perfect set up.)
