Both. You share your answers from Greg, and you are allowed to comment on other peoples answers, but when it threatens to turn into a full fledged debate, there are official topics to put it in.

But older fans could have been from the Slizer Era (like me) and are therefore excited to see jungle again. yES!!! Very much so! I, for one, am positively thrilled to see that the presence of jungle is returned. I also like the general feel of this upcoming year VERY much like 2001. The battle game sounds neat, too-another aspect of 01 that Bionicle has lacked for a time. Disk launchers were about the last sport-type thing we saw until now... Actually, let's face the facts: *Bionicle has been made overly simple; six tribes again, and the small characters are just for an "impulse buy" *The new game is a shootout game that "encourages social play" *There will be twice as many "young readers'" books as chapter books New Bionicle is designed for little children. |

Sigh... Attempt to disprove the MU = Mata Nui theory failed... He didn't even really answer my question though...
QUOTE QUOTE I'm hoping you should be able to answer this, since I'm sure it has been before, and if it hasn't I might be remembering something similar. If you can't answer it, that's OK. When was Mata-Nui (Being) created in relation to the Matoran Universe being created? Before, after, or around the same time? Thanks in advance! Well, he did not first awaken until after the universe already existed I asked him again whether or not he could answer it, but he hasn't gotten back to me yet. Here's something to think about though: If Mata Nui was the MU, don't you find it strange that Metru Nui was constructed in almost exactly the same shape as the island Mata Nui would one day be (given he was standing before, and fell into the Endless Ocean)?

QUOTE QUOTE Hi, in light of the recent release of the Watchmen movie trailer at The Dark Knight, I purchased the graphic novel Watchmen. I read it in a very short amount of time because i thought it was really good. If you have read the book, or comics and you liked it i want to ask a few questions relating to the ending. If you haven't read it and you want to i don't want to spoil the ending so i'll put the questions in a spoiler tag. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 4) Can you wait for the movie because i can't? Thanks in advance. I read the book years ago, hated the ending, so may or may not go see the movie. 1) It would work the same way that the Vision's powers work in the Avengers. If he turns intangible and goes the slightest bit tangible, he disrupts the substance of the other being. 2) They would die, yes The ending was a big let down, but the book itself was great, not including the ending. That'd be cool if a makuta sacraficed itself in order to do damage to the enemy. -------------------- |

The only Makuta that I could see ever doing that is Krika, who seems to have a softer side that other Makuta lack. The Makuta curse doesn't seem to apply as much to him as the others. -------------------- |

Some info I just got back from Greg.
QUOTE QUOTE I'm sorry to bother you again, especially on the same subject as before, but I didn't think of these questions untill after I had sent the last lot. 1a) Was Jerbraz invisible prior to collecting information for the atlas? 1b) If yes, did Jerbraz collect the information for the atlas before or after hiring Mazeka? 2a) Is Nektann one of Skakdi leaders who told the stories of Irnakk? 2b) I don't know if you've been following the S&T contest, but one of the winners has now been decided. It's called The Devastator. Is the Skakdi warlord who ordered it Nektann, knowing his past involving Xian weapons? 2c) If not, is this warlord one of Skakdi leaders who told stories of Irnakk? 1A) Yes 1b) After -- the Atlas is relatively new and up to date information. Mazeka was hired five years ago. 2a) He might have been, it's a very popular legend on Zakaz 2b) Does it say it was him in the entry? There are a lot of warlords. 2c) See answer to 2a -- a lot of people, warlords and not, tell that story. It's like a campfire ghost tale. I feel kinda stupid about the Skakdi warlord ones now. ¬_¬ -------------------- -- BS01 Contest #5: Full Moon -- S&T Contest #6: A Shallow Grave -- Short Story: Shadow -- -- Comics: The world of Aqua Iruini's comics -- ![]() -- Orahklas' 'PBZP A' -- 'Psycho Dogs & Carbonated Beverages' -- 'Crossroads' -- Credit to Phyoohrii for the banner, Innerrayg for the sprite in my avatar, Hordikametrunathan for the bubble and Darklight 889 of the Bubblewrap Shop for making it! |

Note how Greg said when Mata Nui was created, or finished, as opposed to the BS01 entry that same when the great beings begin the creation of Mata Nui. This still fits perfectly well into the MN=MU theory, because the creation of Mata Nui took a long time (up until he was awoken). |

This keystone, however, looks a lot different that the comic one, so is it possible for you to say which one is canon? Comic : ![]() Minimovie ![]() Thanks in advance. My info was that the keystones would fit into the image of a humanoid on the Codrex, so that is what I went with. In a pinch, give the edge to the web content. -------------------- [hB] |

This still fits perfectly well into the MN=MU theory, because the creation of Mata Nui took a long time (up until he was awoken). What we don't know is how long it took to create him. For all we know, he could have been brought into being almost instantly. Also, the BS01 entry doesn't say when Mata Nui was finished or started being made, only when he was awakened. I'm still open that MN might = MU, but given the facts, it's not entirely impossible that MN =/= MU. -------------------- |

The Brickmaster is showing Mata-nui from the outside, so not a map of the MU. Plus, Greg doesn't usually lie, but he frequently avoids the question. |

Look, it's like a baby- it's alive, but not active, for a short while. Before it's born, it's still alive, no? This is Mata Nui's situation.

The Brickmaster is showing Mata-nui from the outside, so not a map of the MU. Plus, Greg doesn't usually lie, but he frequently avoids the question. So what, besides Mata Nui, none of the other domes stick out. He has said numerous times that the island of Mata Nui is the only object in the endless ocean. So only his face is showing? Mata Nui is not 1,000,000 feet across. If it did show him from above, it would only show that island, and it wouldn't actualy be Mata Nui. Either it wold show the entire MU as Mata Nui, or just the island of Mata Nui. If the former, then my post above dictates, if the latter, it wouldn't only show the island of Mata Nui. If it shows it without the water, revealing the other domes, that could work. Although I very much doubt he is just a blob of protodermis (Which in reality is what all the domes would look like together) |

Why do people keep trying to prove or disprove the "Mata-Nui is MU" theory through pm's?
Greg is never going to flat out reject or admit the theory so there's no point in asking. We're gonna know in November anyway (the picture of Mata Nui and map in the guidebook) |

Mirror Lesovikk, We may not know, based on the pic, as it may be MN's Humanoid form, and, the domes could be inside him like organs (that's what the theory says). But, I agree with you, and we will know even sooner than November, as Bionicle Legends #11 comes out in october!!

Breaking away from the Mata Nui=Matoran Universe discussion there, I got a couple of interesting answers from Greg mostly involving light and shadow which may or may not be well known by now; this topic's been notoriously difficult to search for specifics before, so I suppose there's no harm in sharing what I found out.
QUOTE Q: If six Toa (let's say of Fire, Water, Ice, Air, Stone and Earth) were to create a Toa Seal, would any other six Toa (of Lightning, Sonics, Gravity, Iron, Magnetism and Plant-Life, for example) be able to undo the seal or does it have to be undone by the same six elements that it was created with? A: Same elements are needed. QUOTE Q: If a Toa (for example, a Toa of Fire) were to be partially drained of their light by a Shadow Leech and the psychological barrier that stopped the Toa from recovering his light remained intact, if he continued to use up his own fire energy until there was none of it left, would he then become a Toa of Shadow fully and no longer be a Toa of Fire and Shadow? A: Good question. Answer's no, he would most likely have access to fire only. Takanuva can control shadow as well because he was already controlling light, and the two are similar (two sides of the same coin). But using up fire is not the same as using the light that is in you, which is what Takanuva taps into. QUOTE Q: If any Toa were to be partially drained of their light (as Takanuva was) and the barrier remained intact, if their personality was affected by this drain would that be a side affect of the means in which they gained their shadow element (Shadow Leech, Avsa, etc) rather than the actual element itself as the BS01 wiki states that, originally, shadow had no moral connections and was no more good or evil than any other element? A: Light is your "good" side if you will -- if you have less of it, you will be less "good". My thoughts: Ah, so not only is light an element; but it can also be considered to be the positive aspects of any being's...er...being in that respect. QUOTE Q: If Mata Nui were to exact vengeance upon the Brotherhood of Makuta upon awakening, as Makuta saw in Karzahni's vision in Into the Darkness, would Miserix be spared as he had opposed Teridax's plan or has Teridak condemned his species as a whole? A: No. Think about it -- if you have termites in your house, when you call the exterminator, do you worry if maybe one termite had a bad stomach and never ate part of your house? Or do you kill all of them? My thoughts: While I'm not familiar with termites, the idea of an tiny little Miserix is adorable. QUOTE Q: It's said, again on the BS01 wiki, that the Makuta once had a small amount of light within them and that that light was only forced out of them after they made the decision to go against Mata Nui; does this mean that Miserix still has some light left in him? A: No, all Makuta, for one reason or another, rejected the light that was in them. QUOTE Q: Now that the element of shadow is seen as evil because of the Brotherhood's corruption, even if Miserix were to do some heroic deeds during his hunt for Teridax (i.e. save the odd Matoran village), would those he saved only consider his power to be evil and his character a hero or would he still be seen as evil as a whole, regardless, because of his element? A: Basically, put it this way -- let's say a neo-Nazi came to your town and circumstances led him to save a child from a runaway bus. Would you now consider him a good neo-Nazi -- or still consider him evil because he IS a neo-Nazi? ~Adam |

Uh, guys, you probably should start a new topic or just get back to this topic's subject.
Anyways, just a small Vican question. QUOTE Hey Greg, just a question about Vican. On BS01 it says Vican is from a lake in the center of the Southern Continent. My first question is, was there a lake where Mahri Nui was (Voya Nui Bay) on Voya Nui when it was on the continent? And if that is true, then is Vican from that lake, or one nearby? Thanks, No. Remember, some of the land on Voya Nui was added on as a result of lava flowing during the years it was floating on the ocean, so it is not the same shape in 2006 story as it was on the continent.

QUOTE QUOTE have we ever seen any part of mata nui? You'll see all of him in two months, so your question will be answered then proving nothing -------------------- ![]() If you think about it, one of the major themes of BIONICLE is people being mistaken. The Great Beings; the Turaga; all of the inhabitants of the MU who don't realize they are inside a robot; the list is endless. The whole story is about beings who don't know what they really are and have woven a complex myth-based culture in place of the truth. That was one of the things that always appealed to me about the story -- the idea that when there is an information void, intelligent beings naturally rush to fill it with whatever they HOPE is the truth. -GregF |

QUOTE QUOTE
QUOTE QUOTE QUOTE QUOTE QUOTE Hello Mr. Farshtey I have one question: 1. In the story it said that Av-Matoran have a higher rate of becoming Toa than do others. (said in Shadows in the Sky) How is that when only one Toa of Light exists while there have been thousands of others of the other elements? If anything isn't it less likely an Av-Matoran will become a Toa. Okay, but how do you know that in 1000 years there might not be 100 Toa of Light, and in 5000 years, 500 Toa of Light? More likely to become Toa does not mean "more likely today" -- it means more likely overall, which encompasses the future too. How do they figure that when the past shows only one? Did they use a Mask of Clairvoyance? But past record shows many others. Because the Great Beings made them to have a higher possibility of becoming Toa, and since the Makuta have Tren Krom's knowledge of the workings of the universe, they know that. -------------------- |

QUOTE Hey Greg. I was wondering... 1. Is the source of the "incredible" power of the vehicles such as Jetrax's the same as that of the lightstones? 2. If so, what is it? Is it Mata Nui's life force? 3. If not, does it have anything to do with 2009? 4. If so, what? Thanks. ~Katani. 1) Yes 2) Can't answer it 3) No ~Katani. -------------------- Signature Guidelines: Image size may not exceed 250x100 combined or 468x60 combined.

QUOTE QUOTE Sorry if these questions are bothering you, but I just need clarification on number 1. I should have said: Can you answer to when Mata Nui was created in relation to the MU? On the BS01 Wiki Timeline, it says Great Beings began creating the MU 100,000+ years ago, and Mata Nui was awakened 100,000 years ago. Would this mean Mata Nui was created after the MU? Means his creation was not finished until after the MU existed. Follow up to my questions before... Seems to me like Greg is sneaking his way around a direct answer. -------------------- |

I sent these to Greg ages ago, and never posted them here.
QUOTE QUOTE Hi, Greg! I just have one question this time. Can a Rahkshi be affected by Hordika venom? Thanks in advance, -Gravitic Ghost Rider. A Rahkshi is just a suit of armor, so no. The kraata inside could be affected, though, if it was attacked directly QUOTE QUOTE Sorry to keep bothering you , Greg. I need one last question answered. 1a. Could you turn a Kraata Hordika into a Rahkshi? 1b. If so, would the rahkshi be different from a normal Rahkshi? 1c. If yes to 1b, in what way(s) would it be different? Again, sorry to bug you, I just find the concept of Kraata/Rahkshi affected by Hordika venom extremely interesting. -GGR No, for the same reason you can't change a Toa Hordika into a Turaga. Once it's infected by venom, it's not the same creature anymore |

Why has everyone dropped the "Mata Nui is in the location Teridax is" theory in place of the "MN/MU" theory? I personally would go with the former; it's legendary, is heavily guarded, and is larger than even Teridax had thought possible.
Topic relevance: QUOTE QUOTE Hi there Greg. Over on BS01, there's been some debate over the canonization of the Toa Mangai Nihu and Motara. You gave your approval to the Nihu-Motara Energy Siphon Blade in a PM, and it recently won the Art: Handrawn category. In the description, it refered to a Toa Mangai of Water, Nihu, and a Toa Mangai of Stone, Motara. Now that it has won, are they officially canon? I wouldn't ask, but it needs to be in the OGD for everybody to accept it. Thank you for your time. No, they're not. I told Electric Turahk when he PM'd me that I can approve the entry, but not the names. I don't want to be constantly reusing 2001 location names, and two, if they named every geographic feature after a Mangai, why is nothing named Lhikan? Makes no sense. None of the people who PMed him bothered to post it here, so I figured I would. I wonder how many votes he would have gotten if they hadn't been part of the entry... Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho! -------------------- ![]() Master Rahl guide us. Master Rahl teach us. Master Rahl protect us. In your light we thrive. In your mercy we are sheltered.
