So now onto my next crazy theory, the Great Spirit Mata Nui himself.

I have a theory that seems to come more from Transformers then Bionicle...but it might work.

Mata Nui's body is literally the world under the great sea. Think of it kinda like Unicron or actually Primus from Transformers.

That is why the island of Voya Nui had to be returned to help revive him, it was part of him, thats why the Staff had ot be used to repair the world, to repair Mata Nui. That is why the core needed to be healed, it was the core of Mata Nui..the heart of the world.

Thats something I was always curious about during the Great Cataclysm. Why did so many bad things happen all over the planet? Was it because Mata Nui could no longer keep it in check. If so why didn't more things begin falling apart. Perhaps the Great Cataclysm wasn't cause by Mata Nui's slumber...perhaps he fell asleep because of it. Causing so much damage to ones body would definitely cause one to become comatose, and if such damage was not treated then death would be certain.

The only way Mata Nui could be awoken is if everything is returned to the way it was before his fall. If Mata Nui is not the actual body of the world, then at least his life and existence is directly connected to the health of the world. What better person to care for a world then one who feels it's pain.

next time...why the matoran matter.

and yes, i am kracked
