Unspoken Words

No, I remember when people were theorizing that Gali was Takanuva cause they had the same eye color.

 

Vezon's origins were kinda lame, now that I think about it.

 

This post was shockingly coherent for this blog.

Don't worry, it'll devolve back into incoherent rambling soon enough.

I don't remember the theorizing that Toa Ignika was Matoro, but I do think there were some very deliberate similarities. It was actually kind of a touching aspect of the Ignika's storyline—it had bonded so tightly with Matoro that it wanted to experience being a Toa itself, and it modeled its own appearance after the Toa it knew best.

 

Later, of course, Toa Mata Nui took design cues from Toa Ignika.

Okay, someone is going to have to help out my stupid self: Where are these deilberate similarities between Toa Matoro and Ignika? I see none in the models (Mahri or Inika form), except for the shoulder pads being the same.

 

Also I don't remeber those "Toa Matoro = Toa Ignika" theories either. But I also don't recall being that active on the forums during that time, either, so maybe that's why.

I don't remember that, but I do remember that when we found out that 2009 would have only one character returning from previous years, there were dozens of theories about how Matoro was gonna get reincarnated on Bara Magna somehow.

plus, there was that ad at the back of the Lego Magizine that totally had Matoro Inika on it

 

like, it could have been nothing else at all

 

14-15 year old me still can't forgive Lego for that

Ah yes, the ad with Matoro Inika and the Giant Vahki Leg in a desert.

 

That image pretty much didn't really convey anything about 2009. It looked a lot more like ruins at the time and that character was a wanderer of the wastes, it seemed.
