CaT in Rogue Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 2006 would have been better if they dropped all the stupid gritty darkness, especially the whole "gangster" schtick with the PirakaThe Piraka Rap is the best thing to ever happen to this franchise and you know it. 3 Quote "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."

JMSOG Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 2001 would have been better if they had a better plan of how 2002-2010 was going to go (so the stark differences people point out would have been smoother) 2002 would have been better if they merged the Bohrok Kal concept into it 2003 would have been better if the Kal were in 2002 and they focused on the Mask of Light all year 2004 would have been better if they had something to replace the Vahki (maybe some mangai? i don't know if their existence was known to the story team back then) 2005 would have been better if a different hordika were the betrayer (my personal preference is Nuju...it makes the intro to maze of shadows much more poignant) 2006 would have been better if it got a movie...like previous years did... 2007 would have been better if the piraka got a better fate than sea snakes 2008 would have been better if they expanded upon each of the makuta more (Krika deserved much more "screen time"). 2009 would have been better if mata nui landed at the begining of the year, and the WHOLE YEAR focused on his time there (it was a simple issue of releasing the vorox in the summer...it could have worked...) 2010 would have been better if...well, obvious isn't it... 2015 would have been better if they were better at keeping in leaks (imagine how it would have been if we all discovered the return at the announcement, as opposed to a slow trickle of leaked material) 2 Quote Hi.

Tea-rex Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 2001 would have been better if the TTT (Toa Tohunga Turaga) were a little more well designed 2002 would have been better if the uh... 2002 was on of the best years for me TBH. 2003 would have been better if the Bohrok Kal were better intergrated. 2004 would have been better if uh... Again, one of the better years for me. 2005 would have been better if the story was a bit more fleshed out. 2006 would have been better if there hadn't been so many darn titans. 2007 would have been better if the Barraki & Toa were more well designed 2008 would have been better if the Phantoka-Mistika type thing had worked better 2009 would have been better if the sets weren't too darn small. 2010 would have been better if it hadn't been so rushed.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I definitely agree with two commonly repeated comments: -2008 being better if the Toa actually looked like the Nuva we know and love-And 2010 being better if it was an entire year and not just half of one. Other than that, I don't really have much more to say. I guess 2009 could have benefited from having a movie that didn't end on a cliffhanger. And 2007 better with more books. -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaT in Rogue Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Okay, let's get this all cleared up for the homeboys out there: 2001: 0/10 no Piraka Rap. 2002: 0/10 no Piraka Rap. 2003: 0/10 no Piraka Rap. 2004: 0/10 no Piraka Rap. 2005: 0/10 no Piraka Rap. 2006: 11/10 Best year, straight up godly. 2007: 7.8/10 Too much water. 2008: 0/10 no Piraka Rap. 2009: 0/10 no Piraka Rap. 2010: Okay, see, here they almost got it right, they certainly have the Piraka, but forgot the rap, and that's ultimately going to diminish their score, 5/10 needs more rap. 6 Quote "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."

Latrodectus Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 2003 would be better if the Bohrok Kal didn't exist. 2004 and 2005 would be better if the Visorak and Vahki had more variety. 2008 would be better with actual colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vraiment Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Why so much people wish for more movies? They are very close to be the worst media in the franchise, media that for being in the "spotlight" forced awful events into canonicity, ex: "Let's define the fate of the entire island in a match of Kolhi" or "Despite Onewa is the one with bigger differences with Vakama and Matau never cared that much, let's make Matau be the on in conflict with Vakama, yeah" and on, and on, and on...

Trijhak Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 2003 would be better if all of its canisters weren't nearly entirely clones - the Bohrok-Kal being clones of clones (Bohrok). Rahkshi were clones of each other with only the staff pieces and Kraata to differentiate the, and the colour. 2005 would be better if instead of the Hordika, we got the entire team of Hagah. The Visorak are okay as they are IMO. Also if we had two traitors. Because why only one? 2009 would be better if it was split over two years, with one whole year to establish Bara Magna, and then having Mata Nui arrive. 2010 would be better if we got actual... sets. Not glorified Av-Matoran pretending to be sets we liked. Also if it was spread out over the year instead. Quote On Bota Magna, everything is about to fall apart.

Also, the Toa Nuva's defeat was unnecessary 2007 would have been better if it hadn't talked about death and destruction the whole year2008 would have been better if the Toa had weapons, the story was expanded, and if the Toa had a better color scheme.2009 would have been better had the sets' limbs not been so breakable.

And I will tell you all that things are by far better pictured in the books than would have been (correctly) pictured in the movies. I'll take as a example the third movie. The book preceding it ends in an epic battle of titans while the toa are struggling to manage their hordika side. Then, because of the movie, the next book goes back ALL THE WAY until the Toa Metru arrived back at Metru Nui. The movies degraded the story by adding weak and lame events and characterizations (Takua from MoL is NOTHING like Takua from the other media) I think that hurts the story A LOT. I understand what you mean but I think in the long run is better no movies at all than bad movies. Quote Came for the sets, stayed for the story.

I understand what you mean but I think in the long run is better no movies at all than bad movies. Personally, I really liked the movies (except for Web of Shadows). If I ever feel like reliving a moment of Bionicle, that's what I go to. It's so much more tasking to marathon the books than to marathon movies or a TV series, and I would have really liked to have that option for Bionicle's entire run, even if it wasn't quite as deep as the novels. Plus, there are the visual and auditory elements, which are difficult to replace even with imagination.

Latrodectus Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) 2005 would have been better if the Hordika actually looked like monstrous animalistic Toa and not... Slightly ugly dudes with gappy legs. Imagine if they had been as varied as the Barraki and had more obvious animal elements, like claws or tails or wings or teeth. They could even be based on the types of Rahi each Rahaga hunted. I feel like 2005 had a lot of interesting ideas that were horrendously mishandled. A toa betraying his team and then redeeming himself could make for a great story, but Vakama was almost the worst choice for such a Toa and the betrayal was incredibly forced.

fishers64 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 -snip-2001: 5/10 Vakama was background character was important. Yay MNOG! 2002: 4/10 Less Vakama than previous year. No good. 2003: 7/10 Glorious Vakama voice in MoL and kick-butt Rahkshi fight for our fearless leader. 2004: 10/10 Vakama as protagonist, must have more... 2005: 11/10 Best Bionicle Year. The most Vakama, with Time Trap the icing on the cake. 2006: -4000/10: Vakama defers to Dume instead of standing up for himself and is owned by a girl. FAIL. 2007: 1/10: "I had a vision" is not enough Vakama. Needs more. 2008: 0/10 Really Vakama? You managed to keep the Mask of Time from Makuta himself, only to have a Rahi overpower you? Come on, totally do better already. 2009: -10000/10: No Vakama. 2010: -10000/10: No Vakama. The lack of Vakama has reached critical mass. Drained of its all-important source of wisdom and narration, the Bionicle franchise collapses.

Well it would have been cooler if the year focused on exploring these different regions in ministories.
