Why does Velika want to rule Spherus Magna?

Go to this page and give it a read. It should tell you all you need to know, with references to the Greg quotes that confirm its information. ;)

He probably has the good ol' case of hubris where he thinks he can do everything better on his own. After all, the Great Beings just barely managed to fix everything with Mata-Nui (and even so their plan got into such danger it's a miracle everything turned out alright).

 

I would guess he probably disagreed with what the GB's planned to do to stop the wars and fix the shattering, and got into an argument with the rest, making him have a personal grudge against them fueling his desire to get rid of them (and other powerful beings that were a threat to him) and rule the world. Though this is only speculation.

Greg said he blamed the other Great Beings' lack of desire to interfere much in things for leading to the Shattering, and he feels a firmer control is needed to keep things stable. And of course, the one to be that strong ruler is... himself. >_>

Because the majority of villains in stories like Bionicle's want to the rule the world. It would be weird if he didn't want to rule it. :P

 

I'm joking, of course. In all seriousness I have echo what the others have already said and say that he thought that Spherus Magna needed a strong leader, especially with the MU residents moving onto the planet, to keep peace and not cause another event like the Shattering.

But technically the Shattering can't happen again, right? With no EP in the center of the planet, there's no fuel for a Shattering to happen again.

 

I suppose that we and Velika don't technically know that, but enforcing order to protect against a disaster that is unlikely to happen...all you would need to stop him is a Great Being with a physics textbook.

No, but that one problem can't happen again is irrelevant; he sees that as demonstrating that if you don't rule more like a tyrant, bigger problems are more likely to happen, so different big problems could happen without his guidance. The Shattering was just the icing on the cake proving the folly of the Element Lords' war, war that the Great Beings' timid leadership was useless to stop. War (or some other problem like it) could very easily happen again.

 

What Velika doesn't understand (or probably doesn't want to understand due to power hunger) is that there's a better way to avoid war and the Agori/etc. of Bara Magna, and the Matoran/etc. of the Matoran Universe both developed versions of it, in which they also don't live under tyranny (so are likely to fight him for this reason).

I meant to say that he wanted to keep an event like the Shattering from happening again. Sorry if I caused any confusion by not wording that correctly. Just goes to show what happens when one posts something at 3:30 in the morning. :P

I really, really hope that Velika isn't just the standard "power-hunger-worse-than-Hitler-tyrant".

 

Why can't he be a well intentioned extremist? He is one of the rightful leaders of Spherus Magna, and the Great Beings weren't the best for the leadership job.

He essentially is -- see my above posts.

 

However, as I mentioned, it's unlikely anybody would try to conquer without, deep down, some power hunger. But standard? No. :)

I guess he doesn't want that to happen again, whoch is against what the weakling other GBs would like.

I'm pretty sure the GBs don't want the planet to explode again...

 

At, least, not most of the GBs, anyway. *old crochety GB voice* Those Glatorian and Agori destroyed my inventions and my world, so TAKE THIS!

A rule-by-force tyrant. Methodical and has insight of the MU universe but knows the dangers of these two societies co-existing. Especially some with demi-god like power, they had to be eliminated (tren krom). In the end the MU served a purpose, and it is fulfilled and they are not needed. 

 

Plus he may be a bit crazy. A whole world left to just him and an insane and imprisoned GB to stand in his way.
