Half-Life too.

Rocky loves Emily!

We should Ask A Ninja what happened.

Ninjas, then vampires, then zombies, followed by superheroes.

Now all of those secret, stealthy ninja's have been replaced by flock cameras. /s

I liked this recent tv show https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Ninjas

What if ninjas are always everywhere but in the 90s they weren’t that sneaky?

They clearly got better at it.

Go ninja go ninja go ninja GO!

And for a few years after..

realultimatepower.net

Is that two seconds of silence for some reason?

Anime still does Ninja shit. Naruto was huge until just a couple years ago and that's all about ninjas.

Unsure what the fuck it has to do with Star Trek tbh

Edit: oooh wait, I misread your username as the community name 😅

So you're saying we're experiencing a new age of ninja greatness?

Alright!

I refuse to believe this series is 20 years old.

No worries - you aren't the first to do that, lol.

I remember this era it was like if you weren't a ninja, training to become a ninja, or doing some kind of ninja support work—it was like wtf are you doing? Are you a nonja? A fucken... noneja? Go back to your dojo and try harder.

Also a spoonful of orientalism mixed in there, as my culture likes to do.

Wait, no, come back!

They've gotten better.

Link continues to work just fine as far as I can tell. There’s no silence. It’s a YouTube video.

They're still there.

They just got better at remaining in the shadows, and now you don't even know who they are!

Ninjas ready!

Scorpion is not a ninja.

Edit: I'm an idiot. Yes, he was.

"We should run!"

"We should hide!"

"We should kick their butts!!"

Daredevil was a super-popular comic at the time, along with X-Men [featuring Wolverine]

Daredevil fought a ninja army called 'The Hand,' and the near-immortal Wolverine was revealed to have studied the ninja arts in his past.

That lead to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who fought The Foot Clan.

and I believe that you are ninja too!

You forgot pirates.

Appreciating the rare Surf Ninjas mention.

Unless you go back to the 80s and those ninjas, then the list is not complete.

Sho Kosugi defined ninja in the 80s

Lee Van Cleef in The Master

Enter the Ninja

So many good video rentals for friday nights and pizza.

That's what you get when just about every white kid 5-17yrs was in a McDojo, trying to be Daniel-san, and the leftover ones started choosing ninjas over karate kids. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Ninjas -> Pirates -> Vikings -> knights cyclus

Some ninjas persisted into the 2000s by shifting into the prankster niche. They might still be around but they are ninjas and very good at hiding so I can never be sure.

He was the only survivor or the Shirai Ryu clan enemies of the Li Kuei, but both were ninja clans

Zombies -> vampires -> werewolves have a similar rotation

Batman is a ninja too.

For all we know, they could still be around. Who can tell with ninjas?

Money can't buy knives.

Shoot, I was thinking of sub zero. I think he specifically says Li Kuei is not ninja. It's been a loooong time since I played any of the games.

"We weren't 'online' we did lines! Yeah! And there were fucking ninjas on the lawn trying to kill us!"

They didn't attend a Dojo.

They went to a Dontjo.

That’s Real Ultimate Power!

When you think about it, the ninja you see has already failed (unless of course there’s a second ninja using the distraction).

Apparently it's still the 90s in BotW-era Hyrule because I can't hardly go anywhere without getting ambushed by banana-obsessed ninjas.

Wu tang is for the children.

If they were good ninjas we wouldn't have known about them.

GO. GO. GO. GO!

Also daredevil was taught by Stick. But the tmnt had to settle for a Splinter.

I never picked up on that.

I'll eschew tastelessness and not make a blind joke.

James Bond was fighting along side ninjas in 1967.

Damn I wish I could be a ninja...

I believe that you are ninja to
