2009

There are lots of rumors flying around BZP, and the word "reboot" is being used a lot (often by people who don't know what the word means) ... so I thought I would address them here.

 

-- The plan for 2009 is to take the story in a new direction. That does NOT mean:

 

* Killing all the old characters

* Pretending all the old story never happened

* Starting over again with the Toa Mata on Mata Nui

* Telling a story that has nothing to do with anything that happened before.

 

It DOES mean:

 

* Telling a story that an old fan can appreciate and get something out of, and that a new fan can follow without having to know everything that happened before.

* Restoring that sense of "exploring a new place" that we had in 2001.

* Trying some new things with sets, story, setting, etc., while still keeping it BIONICLE.

 

So for those people who have been sending me panicky PMs, stop -- outside of what I just listed, NO ONE on BZP knows ANYTHING about 2009. So if you hear someone saying something you do not see on the list above, then it is just speculation on their part and you need to take it as such. (It's great that people want to speculate, but some members take their guesses as fact and get nervous. :) )

thank you for clearing that up greg :) when i first heard rumors about a "reboot", i thought it was just end our current universe and go to another, but then i decided that would be cheap to do. what greg is saying is that 2009 will focus on new characters and new villans,instead of just bringing out new villans and evolving last years toa.

Thanks for clearing that up. But it does leave the question: what exactly will change? No more toa? No more matoran? No more masks? I don't know. It'll be interesting to see how much you and the story team have shaken this up.

My bad. I used the term "reboot" in a theory of mine to make it easier for people to understand. It eventually took hold of some people and it became a pretty big rumour :P

Lol, are you perhaps referencing me with that last paragraph? :P But, I've been concerned over people misusing the word reboot ('cause I actually knew what it meant...). And on that:

 

Finally - The whole first list of what is not going to happen is what a reboot would do. It means starting completely anew. And now it's clear as can possibly be that a reboot will not happen.

 

Now we just need to get people to stop using the word...

Hhhhmmm....Thought some theorys may be close and possible from what your telling us,

 

I can understand that it must be fustrating when you get loads of PM's.

But Greg, one last thing...

I utterly despise you We have to wait two years to find out what this all really means! lol.

 

Murtagh...

For some reason, I want to think of this as like the way Marvel made the Ultimate series, but those were new tellings of old stories, and this is in no way the same.

 

I like this idea. I do feel asthough the story needs this. I can't wait until 2009 to see whatthey come up with. Thanks for sharing, Greg.

Does this mean we will finally see a new era of boinicle? Or will we be seeing some sort of twist in the story? I have been so excited that I almsot forgot to ask if the pictures of bionicle 2008, Phatonka, and Krada Nui are real? They are under the 2008 section in Brickshelf. thanks for listening Greg, I am out!

So basicly you just mean we'll be going to a different part of the Bionicle Universe?Cause I doubt we've seen more than a fraction of it.

You can't blame people if they use the word "reboot"...with all the movies and series trying to follow in the footsteps of Batman Begins it's the first thing they think when somebody says "new direction."

 

I, for one, welcome our '09 overlords.

And here i thought with the word "reboot" being passed around that we'd find out the whole thing had been taking place in a computer...

 

Sorry, just had to say it.

 

Will we perhaps see a time skip? maybe a few thousand years from where we left off, I think those are usually interesting and let you explore whole new ideas while keeping it in the same universe with a few of the old characters still up and kicking.

no THAT will be awesome because i don't know the story before 2005, so then this will be easier, i glad you're doing this!

does that mean they'll sell the metru and the mata and the nuva and the rahkshi - all that again?!

if so, hoorah! i'm in desperate need of a kanoka launcher(metrurans) and a few vahki!

no, it means that it won't have much to do with the storyline right now, so that you don't have to know ancient history of bioncle
