Legends of Chima S1 E1

## Plot

An eagle named Eris is flying in the skies of Chima when she's suddenly brought down by a net. She sees ravens, wolves, and crocodiles with weapons. She recognizes the croc leading them all, Cragger. He says that he's going to destroy the lions, steal the chi, and avenge his parents. His army heads towards the Lion Temple to attack it while he puts on a gold mask. Meanwhile, at the temple, a lion named Laval is about to take an orb of chi from the pool for the first time. His father is Lagravis, king of the tribe. Just then, the temple is attacked. Laval sees Cragger steal some chi and goes after him while the lions, ravens, wolves, and crocodiles fight. The two fight for awhile, and Laval is able to defeat him, knocking his mask off. He's stunned when he sees that it's Cragger underneath though. Just a short time ago, the two had been the best of friends, along with Eris the eagle, Gorzan the gorilla, Rhogon the rhino, Skinnet the skunk, Worriz the wolf, and Bladvic the bear. Aside from Eris, Skinnet, and Worriz, the others are all princes in their tribes. Eris is a princess, Worriz is the alpha male of a nomadic tribe, and Skinnet appears to be the only one of his kind. Anyways, they were all good friends. One day, Cragger convinced Laval to break the rules and sneak into the temple to see the sacred pool of chi. They did so, but then Cragger decided to take an orb, even though he wasn't of age yet. He went nuts and went on a violent rampage. The lions shot him and took the chi from him. Lagravis reprimanded Laval, and the two had to explain things to Cragger's parents, King Crominus and Queen Crunket. At the temple, Crominus and Crunket didn't blame Cragger for what happened, even though he himself did. They believed that Laval made him do it, which is blatantly false. The two families wanted the other to apologize to them. There's been some bad blood between crocs and lions in the past. After that, Cragger's dad wouldn't let him spend time with the lions anymore. Cragger and Worriz decided to sneak into the temple again for more chi, having not learned their lesson. However, they were caught by two guards and Lagravis. Worriz ran away, and Cragger tried to blame the whole thing on Laval. However, he said that he hadn't been allowed out of his room in weeks. Cragger attacked Lagravis and the guards and ran away. Laval followed him. Cragger fired a flare into the air, signaling for help from his tribe. Both the lions and crocs saw the flare and prepared to head out. Laval and Cragger wound up in the Fangs, a barren place full of sinkholes and caves. Cragger almost fell into one until Laval saved him, and he apologized for calling the other crocs. Cragger tried to explain the situation to his parents, saying that the lions were okay and that it wasn't their fault. Then the lion troops showed up. Long story short, a battle broke out between the two tribes. Crominus lost his gold mask. The whole family eventually got tied up in their vehicle, which flipped over. Only Cragger could get out. A sinkhole opened up, threatening to send the king and queen into it. Lagravis tried to move them to more stable ground, but Cragger cut the rope. He tried to save them himself, but he wasn't strong enough. He's convinced that he could be if he just had some chi though. His parents made him king of the tribe. They tried to give him a warning, but they fell in before they could. Cragger almost fell in too, but he was once again saved by Laval. His parents survived, but no one could hear them down there. Their warning was that Cragger can't listen to his twin sister, Crooler. Cragger didn't blame the lions, but Crooler told him that they were the enemy now. She also gave him their dad's mask. She's obviously evil.

## Review

I guess this is an okay show, but it's nowhere near as good as Ninjago, and it has a lot of similarities to The Lion Guard. A young lion with a red mane that's a prince with a best friend that's a different species, another friend that's a white bird, their dad is in charge, they're usually a stickler for the rules, there's a literal war going on over precious resources like chi, water, food, land, etc.
