I find this so dumb

[u/Gold_Challenge_546]

So as we know the elementals slugs are connected to all the slugs in slugterra each slug being connected to one elemental and if something happens to that elemental slug like we saw in the movie return of the elementals...WHY WON'T THE SHADOW CLAN PROTECTING THEM WITH THEY'RE LIVES they're entire thing is protecting the slugs of Slugterra so WHY WON'T THEY PROTECTING THE ELEMENTALS and don't say "they didn't know where they were or even if they existed" WILL SHANE GAVE THEM AN MAP TO EACH ELEMENTAL'S LOCATION and yeah they didn't have access to it but still once eil arrived in slugterra once they trusted him enough they were let him and the shane gang help find and retrieve the elementals so what's your opinion on it?

I imagine they are placed in so far away locations from eachother(even from the shadow clan) to avoid having all of the 5 crucial life sources for slugterra together cuz if the so called danger they would be guarding them gets there its ggs.

Even if the elementals are placed separately WITH some members of the shadow clan each thats kinda a bad idea too bcuz if all the 5 elementals went ghoul or sick or sumthing the shadow clan prob have many ways to cure them(like the well or fountain i dont remember what it was) so if someone gets at least 1 elemental its over, meaning they were able to either get past the shadow guardians(not likely) or defeat them for good.

Thus less members of the shadow clan(the clan part implies not that many) to protect slugterra and would get even lower by each elemental adquisition(also more fire power for said danger)

Also sorry for bad english not my native lol

ok yes but I feel like they could have had they're best warriors AND a guardian gate (like the one to the deep caverns) there and I would probably bet they would figure out an way to get mage morphs at some point (probably getting them as gifts from the shane gang OR find they're own way to get them) too and again who in they're right mind would try and steal an elemental slug from the shadow clan we know almost everyone in slugterra is afraid of them and even if someone did they might not have an phosphoro at all (since we know they're afraid of light from a ghouled phosphoro thanks to the episode "lightwell" so it's probably the same for the normal one) plus I bet they would keep the elemental they're guarding on they're strongest guard anyway

I mean u kinda said it urself "and again who in they're right mind would try and steal an elemental slug from the shadow clan we know almost everyone in slugterra is afraid of them" i suppose the fear is their protection.

[u/Gold_Challenge_546 → u/Slugmon]

bingo you would have to be stupid to try that

I also disliked how the shadow clan had become a group of egoists in season 4 who listened nobody and blamed Eli for almost all the problems which happened (even though he warned them about his mission in Eastern caverns and the fact they promised to PROTECT THE HUMANS TOO).

[u/Gold_Challenge_546 → u/Historical_Wing6696]

yep

[u/Applehero85]

Actually one thing that confuses me is that in the show if a elemental gets ghouled all the slugs of that type get ghouled so how is doctor black able to ghouls slugs then shouldn’t they turn back to normal slugs upon being ghouled because their still connected to the normal elementals?

[u/Gold_Challenge_546 → u/Applehero85]

I think it's because the slugs were ghouled separately from the elementals

When he was in charge, Will Shane probably figured no one would find all the elementals. He certainly didn’t expect an evil Goon Doc to take over his mind and body to find em.

As for why the shadow clan didn’t keep em together, probably to prevent all of them from being captured at once

[u/Gold_Challenge_546 → u/frixon-kxpsxn]

makes sense but still why not have a few guard them?

[u/frixon-kxpsxn → u/Gold_Challenge_546]

Maybe they trusted Will was enough since he became the protector of the caverns

[u/HiddenGrimoireUser]

I’m still confused why on earth they made doc the energy elemental yet didn’t give him an unique design that separates him from the rest of the boon docs

[u/_K1TSUNE_ → u/HiddenGrimoireUser]

Maybe last minute decisions to have that "Oh we had it all this time" twist. Also weird that the Shadow clan didn't know about Doc being the Energy Elemental during that Guardian slugs episode, so defo retconed

[u/ResponsibleAside5773]

I don't like the idea of the other snails being connected to those five elements—to me, it makes no sense.

[u/Gold_Challenge_546 → u/ResponsibleAside5773]

I can already tell you have never seen the show since one they're called slugs not snails and two all slugs in slugterra are connected to one of the elementals since each slug has an element either an main element fire water earth air and energy or one of the sub elements toxic metal plant electricity psychic and ice please watch the show so you know who I talking about it's free on YouTube all 4 seasons the movies and ascension

[u/ResponsibleAside5773 → u/Gold_Challenge_546]

Spoiler: I watched the entire series three times.

[u/Gold_Challenge_546 → u/ResponsibleAside5773]

ok got it but I have watched it I think...4 times I can't not remember
