What was the biggest mistake made in the Bionicle story line? Example, Hakann using the spear of fusion to create Vezon after zapping Vezok.

[Makuta_of_Oz]

Mata Nui neglecting his people.

[Strack]

the creation of the Marendar

[Chro]

Core War.

[Taipu1]

Ultimately everything comes down to the core war, but I suppose the Matoran's creation came out of that, and that's kind of a plus point.

 

Thinking a massive door was enough to kill Teridax was perhaps an oversight.

Indeed, so I would say the creation of antidermis.

The creation of the Element Lords. All that you guys said wouldn't of happened, because it happened in the MU and the MU wasn't created until the Element Lords were getting out of hand and started the core war.

The Agori's decision to tap EP as an energy source. All other blunders sprang form that. If by "biggest" you mean the one with the most long term ramifications, that is.

The biggest is terms of "obvious, you should have done X not Y!" was probably the Order's decision to come out of hiding and fight Teridax. I mean, being the Order, they knew what Teridax's destiny was and they knew he was still alive, so that decision was really dumb. It just made the Order an easier target when Teridax did take over.

Ignika deciding to take a swim. If the Ignika had the capability to propel itself in a controlled fashion as we saw when it flew into the water, wouldn't it have led Matoro and the others there, flashed a quick telepathic message, transformed them into Mahri, and stuck with them? Instead, it becomes inanimate once more and it wastes precious time until it disintegrates.
 
Also, Vakama not retrieving the Vahi immediately. That thing could screw up time if it breaks, and he leaves it down there for any random fish to gnaw on. Five minutes to dive in and get it is a trivial matter, and the safety of time itself seems like it should be a priority over 1000 Matoran. The Vahi even got cracked and started messing with time around it, who knows what could have happened a few days later had the Great Rescue not been completed in time.

 

But the biggest mistake? Sidorak not using his Obedience spinner on Keetongu. A giant angry Rahi is charging straight at him. He has a Rhotuka that makes the target obey him. He could have just hit Keetongu with it at point-blank range, calm him down, and sic it on Roodaka.

You took the words out of my mouth. Especially on the sidorak one.

Roodaka might have been able to defeat keetongu, though...

But Sidorak still would have survived with the knowledge that Roodaka intends to overthrow him.

You missed out on a big point: Roodaka was the one who told Sidorak to fight Keetongu. She didn't want to fight Keetongu in the first place, and made Sidorak do it, knowing he'll die.

The Piraka were chasing the Toa Inika. The "swim" was probably to buy time for all of the Piraka's enemies to show up. Also, Axxonn wasn't there to smash open the hole to the cord, and traveling through the Zyglak-infested Cord probably would have been even more dangerous to the Ignika than the Pit Mutagen.

Vakama didn't know that the Vahi would mess up time if it broke until he retrieved it later, I doubt the teeth of fish are going to do mich damaged to the thing, and Vakama didn't know where he was going. When going off into Unknown Lands, not sure I want to take my valuable stuff with me. Too much of a liability, as enemies keep stealing it, and then I have to get it back...again, and again...

Keetongu has the power to absorb Rhotuka powers and fire them back at him, so shooting the Rhotuka wouldn't have helped him anyway.

Seconded!! Onewa is an amazing character! Even though they were limited to story and time while making the films, they could of at least reveal more of those characters' personalities so the audience that was unfamiliar with them could get a taste of who they are. I love Onewa )!
