    This is not good, because other users won't be able to see your reasoning.
  2. Mjolnitor
    ?? I don't know what you are referring to here. Which word in this sentence do you not understand?
  3. Mjolnitor
    But were they planned to be explained in a way they were explained? I have nothing against the "world in a robot" concept, but not against the execution of this concept. Same here. Then why the holy crackers did he write a setting in a way he doesn't have a great grasp on?
  4. Mjolnitor
    That's the problem. Different authors have different visions, and one of them goes full M-MUH PROGRAM M-MUH GLITCHES M-MUH ROBOTS M-MUH HIGH-TECH EXPLANATIONS FOR EVERYTHING M-MUH GREAT BEINGS.

    Should the matoran have had element-equals-gender restriction? The same answer probably goes here.
  6. Mjolnitor
    It's fantasy, and it has blasters, robots and spaceships - but Bionicle suddenly can't be fantasy because of this. The Four Gods of Chaos, psykers and working holy relics refute this opinion of yours.
  7. Mjolnitor
    You described here Heroes of M&M, a strategy spin-off of M&M. Is Warhammer 40K sci-fi? This.
  8. Mjolnitor
    But why then Bionicle can't be defined as, for example, space fantasy of sorts? Is travelling via spaceships, wearing high-tech suits and restoring an antient weapon facility central to the story?
  9. Mjolnitor
    Shadowrun. Also, early Might & Magic games were set on worlds being... space stations. With ancient robots and lasers in deep dungeons. But they were fantasy games nonethless.
  10. Mjolnitor
    This.
  11. Mjolnitor
    No, it's not that simple - because "Bionicle is sci-fi" misconception is applied on worldbuilding level by Greg himself (what Boidoh wrote) and thus has leaded to numerous issues.
  12. Mjolnitor
    Why do you think that space stations are giant robots? And why can't elves be achieved via genetics or such?
  13. Mjolnitor
    What defines this possibility (and impossibility in case of elves)?
  14. Mjolnitor
    Why exactly?
  15. Mjolnitor
    Let's see. EPs allow to do stuff-that-modern-science-can-not, and they're somehow sci-fi. Wizards and elves can do stuff-that-modern-science-can-not, and they're somehow fantasy. Why?
  16. Mjolnitor
    Then how the holy crackers are fantasy and sci-fi differed in here? >ever implying LoTR has the One Ring falling into the volcano, therefore gravity is also important for the story. Mm?
  17. Mjolnitor
    But if mind reading can be real, why not aforementioned elves and wizards? Who's to say they aren't? Maybe they're just really good at keeping their nature hidden. But is this a reason to say that they're sci-fi?
  18. Mjolnitor
    But if mind reading can be real, why not aforementioned elves and wizards?
  19. Mjolnitor
    So, talking trees and elves are not scientific nor possible, but fireball-shooting/air-creating/psy-mindcracking robots who can also unite to form SUPAH RAWBOT and have powers of animating dead, manipulating probabilities and such suddenly are both?
  20. Mjolnitor
    So, LotR is sci-fantasy? ATLA is sci-fantasy?
  21. Mjolnitor
    O rly?
  22. Mjolnitor
    It is a misconception applied to the setting on the worldbuilding stage.
  23. Mjolnitor
    The most glaring misconception: BIONICLE is sci-fi.
  24. Mjolnitor
    I guess I found the main problem.
  25. Mjolnitor
    All elements as subpowers of the main six (except psionics, they're WAY too broad to be an element). Deal with it.
