As far as the Dark Mirror story goes, I think it's totally appropriate for kids. Considering some of the media children are exposed to, I'd say it's incredibly mild (my friend's parents let him watch "Kill Bill" when he was five, and most boys my age started playing Halo and Call of Duty when they were younger than ten). Also, it wasn't gratuitous, or dark for the sake of being dark. It was telling a very important story about the corrupting influence of power, and showed that even heroes are susceptible to their own dark sides. I'd say that's an important lesson.

I think "Borahk" might be easily confused with something else.

I have to say I didn't expect this many favorites for the Metru. I'm wishing I included them now.

I want you to read what you just wrote there. Then I would like to ask you why you would ever want to connect Gen2 to the massive mess of continuity and stupidity that is Gen1. Because I like complex stories and hate hard reboots. That's entirely my own fault.I'm going to have to stand with this guy. I'll miss the ridiculous, out-of-hand, byzantine conglomeration of storylines that was G1. I like a universe that I can sink my teeth into, and probably lose one or two of my canines in the process. I understand this is an unpopular opinion at the moment, but I think it's what brought a lot of us here to begin with.

Maybe speculation is fun?

I like it. It sounds like something Greg might have come up with had Bionicle not been cancelled. I had no idea about the planned "civil war", which sounds like it would have been quite an epic story arc. Now I'm even more depressed about the cancellation... With regard to time travel, I know the Vahi as we know it can't do time travel, but perhaps it can in it's "full form". If the lower half can only slow down or speed up time, maybe the top half has some comparable time-based power (jumping short distances in time, or seeing a short time into the future), and together they can achieve full-fledged time travel.

I'm exactly the same way with right and left. I've been told it might be linked to my synesthesia. For the sake of being on topic, I'll add that my headcanon is that all MU inhabitants are ambidextrous. They're mechanoids, so why would handedness be built into them? It's not very practical.

I disagree. The canon seems very unclear, for the most part, with regards to exactly how the GB's made their creations (I know Agori laborers did much of the physical labor), but considering the vast complexity, supernatural qualities, and life their creations have, it seems unlikely that they are mere mortals with genius minds and big ambitions. There's clearly some element of supernatural power going into their work. If nothing else, the insane great being has control over temporal space which is straight from the text. I'd call that an innate power.

The poll deals with the characters themselves and not the sets. Otherwise I would have placed it in "Bionicle Discussion".

When I made the poll I had forgotten, for a moment, about the Hordika arc. With that, the Metru spanned as many main story years as the Inika so, really, they should have been included. My bad.

Instead of becoming amphibious, the Toa Mahri just reverted back to their Inika forms after leaving the pit

That wasn't the premise. I nulled as well because I don't have a preference myself, but as the poll shows, quite a few people do. Then why no middle/unsure option? I added one and it took away all the votes, so people are gonna have to recast them.

Feel free to interpret it that way Though, currently, the Inika are a member short compared to the Nuva...

Probably because Bionicle is essentially his brainchild and he's written virtually every piece of Bionicle canon. Still, though, I wouldn't waste his time with this question though. I doubt he remembers minute details like that anyway with such a big universe to keep track of.
