So if the Mask of Creation's whole Schtick is, well, creation, then couldn't you use it to make ANOTHER Mask of Creation? Lets assume it's a Great Being using it, seeing as they are the only ones who know how to make a Mask of Creation.

No more shadow=bad, light=good. Having a good shadow and evil light character would allow them to explore the concept of "it's not what you're born with, it's what you do with it" idea, which was a little missing on the old story

Giant robot was okay, that twist has already been played

This so much

Yeah, it's just Krana really pique my curiosity. I can understand why they didn't reveal their true nature, though, as it would probably have been another anti climax.

And we still don't know what Krana are made from.

Do we know if all the element types have been revealed? I can imagine Crystal being an element. If I'm missing something, please let me know.

Here's an idea: Ahkmou attempts to prevent a group of Matoran being turned into Toa, only to accidently get turned into one himself.

I think it'd be cool to see him conflicted over where his allegiance truly lies.

Personally, I think Gravity should scrapped as an element and just relegated to being a mask power.

Well, I would've loved to see Dalu as a Toa. A thousand years + harsh survival + guerilla attacks with Toa power would've resulted an epic warrior.

Agreed, I think it would be a nice subversion for the Water Toa to be the resident muscle.

Okay, here's one:

 

Kanohi Sakala - Mask of Pain

 

Contrary to what your first impressions might be, the Sakala actually causes immense pain for the wearer instead of the target. For this reason, it is commonly used a torture device, and thus it's use is banned, not just frowned upon. The Noble version causes less pain then the Great variant.

Is it just me or does Onua look like he's got snot coming out his nose.

Just an observation.

 

Alright guys the commie talk is starting to get off topic so let's stop talking about it, but for those who wish to continue I have started a topic dedicated to this joke.

 

 

Oh man, a whole topic devoted to Bionicle-Putin jokes? Oh I know where I'm going next. 

 

But in all seriousness I'm super stoke for Bionicle 2015, and the music/sound effects in the preview video sounded phenomenal, so I have high hopes for whatever we hear next.

 

Question: How long are the "mini-movies" gonna be again? I think I remember 90 seconds, but I'm not sure. I'm not sure how I feel about the mini-movies, not because of the animation, but because of how much can actually be shown in that amount of time. I would've loved to see a longer TV show with full stories. I wonder who will voice the characters...

If they have voices. They might go with the lack of voices and just have robotic sounds and captions from the original animations and games. Alternatively, the shorts could be narrated and the Toa/Masters might let out a grunt or two.

I wish they'd find a better name for the MOUP. I dunno, how about the Mask of Reality?

I never got the circles they had on the masks. It gave them a permanent expression of shock, in my opinion. Where they a by product of creating the the head connection? Or was it to make them look more 'tribal'.

Nice theory buuuut...

 

Unlikely.

Sorry, I'd rather it be that way too, but it's honestly unlikely in my opinion.

Perhaps just the new Toa masks, plus another set if six perhaps homageing the Turaga masks. Having every mask ever would be really unfeasible.

Brit here. Yes, I do use Bee Zed power instead of Bee Zee power. I hadn't considered it until now.

Takanuva, the Toa Inika/Mahri as Matoran, the Bohrok

In the grand scheme of things, we shouldn't really be fazed about the concept of gender flipping. Some would probably see it as a rather big thing to do, and I can understand that as we've grown to love these characters the way they are. However, thinking about it in depth, how much difference would it make if a character swapped to the opposite sex?

I'm curious to see peoples viewpoints.

 

 

So we're now all arguing about Gali's chest? Really this is what you guys are arguing over.

 

We only ever discuss the important stuff.

I'm guessing that was sarcastic.

For those who didn't detect it (sometimes I have trouble showing it) yes, it is sarcasm.

I mean, if it wasn't it would be wrong on soooo many levels.

I probably won't get any ("WHAT?!? HERESY!!") but if I do, maybe Tahu or Kopaka

Doing in the Wizard is a trope wherein mystical or magical elements of a narrative are explained, sometimes bringing in scientific or pseudoscientific concepts to replace them.

IE Mata Nui being a giant robot. It was a cool twist but I wouldn't want it to be done again. One of the unique features of Bionicle is that it combines Sci Fi and traditional fantasy in a very unique way. I'd rather keep a sense of mysticism.

Big yes to multi gendered tribes.

More use of alternative elements (Lightning, Iron, Etc)

Less 'Doing in the Wizard'

Anyone support gender swapping?
