Hapori Tohu Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 The second part of TTV's interview with Merlin P. Mann, the BIONICLE web animation writer, has been put online for your or reading pleasure. This time, there is lots more of BIONICLE talk, although not exclusively, and once again it was a very interesting read. Thanks to TTV and Merlin Mann for the insightful interview!

believe victims Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Oh, look, another member of the Bionicle 2015 crew saying this is a reboot with no story ties to the previous iteration. I wonder if people will listen this time? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Really like Merlin Mann. Seems really chill and respectful of the source material. His talk of developing the new animations with the story team was very informative. And yeah, poor LOSS. xD Some the comments were laughter-worthy. Thank you TTV, for making this great interview possible! -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there was some talk about the Vahi being nothing more than an Easter Egg and that TTV was wrongly spreading rumors or something to that extent. Still I don't expect him to come right out and say whether it was or was not. LoSS will return. Yeah that reference was awful.I am glad somebody else agrees that it was not nice for them to drag The Lord of Skull Spiders defeat and unfortunate moniker as a looser due to its initials of L o s s.

Rooster Nui Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I actually wouldn't mind a comedy series of animations starring LoSS. I can imagine an episode where LoSS tries to steal supplies from a certain village, with the Protector and the villagers using various traps to stop him. Yeah, Merlin sounded pretty mellow all the way through. He doesn't seem like the one to voice an angry Tahu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prowl Nightwolf Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I suppose I wouldn't either if only for the fact it would give the LoSS more screen time...

Ford Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 If animations for LOSS indeed happen, then I want LOSS to be the new Mantax, because Mantax was the Chuck Norris of Bionicle. 1 Quote http://i.imgur.com/kbP5Svg.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/O8CcqC5.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/kbP5Svg.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyichir Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 There was some pretty great information in this interview, particularly the second part. And even the fluff questions did a great job helping me get a feel for what Merlin Mann was like as a person. I didn't realize, for instance, that he was a fellow Tintin fan! I also want to say that, for as much grief as I've given TTV in the past, this interview was on-point. This is the kind of real, hard-hitting reporting that the community really needs—not just reporting news that surfaces online and then filling it with editorializing and speculation, but actually interviewing primary sources to get new information that's never been reported before. And as someone who prefers reading to watching, I really do appreciate the transcripts you guys provided. Well done! 3 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
