In your personal tastes, Sar -- again, don't make the mistake of assuming everybody else shares them

That is indeed what "in my personal tastes", and I have full right to express it.

Or is that too "off-topic"? :P

That sure is a person.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm referring to the large number of interesting discussions in this forum centered around all the "sterile evidence-based-objective-truth" you decry as dull and uninteresting.

That's because they are mostly dull and uninteresting.

Maybe to [others]

 

I'm just here to interject that seems a little pointless endeavor to still cling on Bionicle canon, when there is no more new Bionicle canon.

Does that really make sense?

"Bionicle has ended, disregard all Bionicle content because no new content will appear!"

What I mean its pointless to deny all other forms of interpretation other than the supposed "evidence-based objective truths" that are sterile and devoid of any kind creative spark.

While I know this is a fanwork using limited assets, but there's not a whole lot of excitement in these. Characters seem to exist on a primarily 2D plane here, like sprites in an MSPaint comic than the actual thing. The camera-angles are rarely interesting and seem to be mostly static.

I commend it as a beginner's work, but nothing more to be honest.

 

I can agree with that. A lot of the BIONICLE story was actually pretty 'meh', depending on who you ask. As such we have a bunch of head-canon etc., but although we must press on with fan-created media it does not invalidate what is official, established canon. We are of course free to ignore the parts we don't like in our fan works, but if everyone starts working with pure head-canon at all times then the Storyline & Theories forum would simply lose most of its meaning.

 

Not really, there's a difference between headcanon, which is making up new information, and alternative reading, which offers a new interesting perspective and interpretation for pre-existing stuff.

After all, look at the Elder Scrolls Lore threads in bethsoft forums or reddit, or the Imperial Library. They work pretty well.

All we were saying was that some of your alternate reading did contradict the established canon, and pointing out where and why. That doesn't mean yours is worse. -bones

Contradict your own canon you mean?

I thought, hey, this sounds pretty neat, I'l join up.

Name: Koddho

Gender: Male

Species: Vo-Matoran

Kanohi: Noble Mahiki

Element: Electricity

Faction: Unaffiliated freelancer

Appearance: Lanky, tall, clearly sleep-deprived, lacking in posture and consistency in body movement. Body of marine and white. Mask of yellow.

Powers: Koddho needs no special powers.

Equipment: Pen and paper, his publications, his red scarf, and his myriad of rings that carry undistilled spices and drugs, which he already has a full satchels of. Zamor pistol for personal protection, as well as knives and a heatstone.

Skills: Ceremonial rituals, knowledge of the esoteric and the mystical and beyond, hands fast enough to write pages upon pages of work and a mind clear enough to form nigh-coherent speech even when on the highest of highs. Also put tremendous effort on memorizing all the good, cheap bars and cafeterias in the city, what little there is.

Weaknesses: Too weird, too rare, too odd, too high on psychedelics to be of any use, help, or down-to-earth acquaintance

Bio: Everything about Koddho prior to his turn is an unremarkeable one. Middle-class family Happy life? Formal education on journalism? Friends? Family? Probable, but not important. What is important is the now, which forms the bakbone of the person that Koddho is. A bizarre, erratic man of unexpected knowledge, a journalist for several magazines, both controversial and trashy, and the sole editor of an independant mystical magazine known as the "Book of Olmak", known only by the most underground associations of the deepest recesses of each Metru. Thus, a decently known person among the circles, for reasons good and bad.

After all, when you are a freelance journalist more interested in objective facts and truth than of naive material comfort, you are bound to make some enemies.

Honest man with a goal for truth and numinousity, but too unpredictable to be trusted and too hidden in the thick levels of misplaced and self-important false sense of enigma and grandeur to be properly called friends with. Creating a framework of his own design, within his mind, and attacks it from the material world towards the inside.

What do you mean by live-action

I'm just here to interject that seems a little pointless endeavor to still cling on Bionicle canon, when there is no more new Bionicle canon.

Also the fact that the canon we are defending is simply rubbish anyway, but that's neither here nor there

That's actually the Gokaiger Gokai Changed as Carrangers.

So yes, there is no actual evolution with the Makuta. Only pretention and the removal of the first layer of deceit.

 

The Kingdom and Dark Mirror were nice, but when Makuta The White and Takanuva the Dark are battling against each other whit Mjölnirs, you know that those realities doesn't make any sense.

Exactly why do a Terridax who never became evil and a Takanuva drained of his light fighting not make sense? Strangeness is different from nonesensicality.

 

I think the problem its just a stupid idea to begin with that doesn't actually add anything.

Maybe the problem lies in the fundamental fact that we shouldn't have used Agori built to make STARS.

But unfortunately, that's just the reality we have to live in, because nothing nice happens amirite.

... Wait, I had posted a reply here but now its gone.

Okay...? Whatever.

My point is, there's a difference between "reinvention of canon" and "making readings and theories", the latter which works because it uses canon as the base ground. So, you are worrying over nothing. ^_^

Well, it would be speculative to assume such things; keep in mind this forum division is for evidence-based ideas (theories).

Rather impractical and nonsensical idea, given how we are talking about fictional stories that people read into and allowed to grow within the garden of their mind, and not some kind of scientific research that you file and categorize with thoughtless sterility.

(Also, LEGO generally avoids things like "gods".)

 

Who cares. We are not LEGO.

This appears to be an emotionalism fallacy -- that story logic and plausibility may be ignored because they aren't directly emotional. Two problems with that. First, it forgets that most people emotionally want stories to be plausible.

... And I have no idea how this has anything to do with what I said, so I'm not gonna touch it.

I personally feel like you're reading too much into it. XD

There's never such a thing as "reading too much into it". Only "not reading into it enough."

Most of the rest has been cleared up in recent posts on BZP.

Not really. Too much of a blanket statement that actually worsen the situation.

 

Because Red Star, as it is, is a respawn hall and inside it holds the algorithm that has written down the lives of every single living thing on the world.

Decisions are not actually by the people. Characters can't die unless they fulfill this vague "destiny". Warrior who has lost everything cannot make the final, desperate decision to end his suffering.

Red Star is a cold machine, designed by the insane and sadistic lords of science, to be the judge of who lives and who dies. The higher power that controls everyone and everything. No one knows or can do anything about it.

Everyone are basically puppets for the amoral Beings. No free will, no decisions.

Only destiny.

Dude, what are you talking about? O.o

 

Talking about what the Red Star represents in the story.

I don't like Chimoru though. Plus wouldn't be loyal to the original vision of the comic.

Anyway, because I'm busy, here's a teaser for you about the upcoming comics.

SPECULATION TIME

The OP post needs to learn how to use Enter key.

And this... just beautiful.

This is the greatest thing made by human hands. I could kiss you, if my filthy mortal presence didn't taint the sheer artistic genius of this magnum opus, a magnificent celebration of Art and True Will.

Please forgive me, for I have sinned.

This is the best thing in this board, hands down.

... Why was this linked in my topic.

Anyway, actually looks pretty decent. The colour scheme could be a little better. Softer hues.

Interesting experiment, though one I hope doesn't only use sprites as its vehicle of storytelling.

Almost anyone but Grest and Skralls.

Have Bohroks there or something. Thse are atleast big-name guys.
