gsr confirmed for the messiah

(wow i really had to gut that gif to get it BZP-sized) Wow man, I'm really astonished by your super counter argument skills. I don't think I can break this one. How about these counter-argument skills: The image is fine. It does not break the rules. If you disagree, you can not look at the image and leave this topic. Or you can start your own site and tell people they can't talk about it there. Let's discuss the point of this topic, which is that Bionicle is coming back and we have an official image of a new mask. andrew I love you let's make out also real talk though this mask is gorgeous and I absolutely love how cryptic everything surrounding the new masks and the mythology is at this point. It's giving me early-2001 chills all over again Please no. I wouldn't mind having a term for BIONICLE fans. It'd give me something else to identify as, and I'm totally cool with that. B) for everyone's consideration I would like to submit: "bionicles" "bionicle-likers" "likers of bionicles" "we brought back bionicle club members" "men who wear hats" "fanobioniclos" "banfanicles" "fanonicles" "likebioniclers" "bikers" "oakland raiders" "actual zombie goasts" "legosfaniclefanbionos"

an entirely new set of staff, everyone here is loser nerds and clearly have not contributed to keeping the forums alive and well even after five years of what should have technically killed this site (I want a better set database and a thriving comedies forum)

good evening folks and welcome to the bonus round featuring canon characters like black powder Gali and grapeshot Tahu Chapter twelve: Episode 2 and Episode 2.2

tiny space robots knock everything down, giant space robot puts it all back

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIXBOSS I GOT YOU THIS PICTURE OF A FISH AND A BIRD LOOKING EQUALLY SURPRISED

4/10 for almost assembling my gundam properly

I personally don't believe their characters have the proper chemistry to survive in a healthy relationship together, particularly contrasted against the idea of Kopaka and Gali. Plus literally everyone has been trying to ship them for the past 14 years because of the myth that opposites attract (fire+water) and this makes for good relationships, which it generally doesn't in realistic terms. (also just a heads up: image-only posts, whether or not they have text, are still considered spam around here because people end up posting reaction gifs instead of contributing to discussion) Nail on head. The problem really is as simple as Greg avoiding a complex issue with a few poorly-chosen words.

Greg's explanation was problematic and improperly representative of realistic relationships. The point of my post was to deconstruct his reasoning, not yours. it's too obvious to ship my friend

But that's irrelevant. Are you telling me that people who can't sexually reproduce can't love? No, that's ridiculous. But the biological imperative behind that is what makes romantic love, as interpreted by Greg in that post, and in this universe that imperative does not exist, ergo, no romantic love. Boy oh boy. I'm not going to jump right into this but I have to just say this. No, biological imperative makes neither romantic nor sexual love. It just doesn't. Sexual reproduction has nothing to do with love, romantic inclination, or sexual desire. Greg decanonized all of this rather than face the quagmire that is the romantic spectrum. When it comes down to it, he didn't want to simply say "bionicles don't reproduce because they don't have genitals" but he skirted around the issue with the now infamous "romance isn't canon" quote, despite there being obvious allusions to relationships of the sort in canon (and non-canon) material. I ship Hewkii and Macku like any sensible person. I also ship Gali and Kopaka (which is a far better pairing than Tahu and Gali) and I ship Krahka and Onewa by popular demand. also Tren Krom and Roodaka because WHO DOESN'T

The marketing team at the time believed their market was primarily young boys and created an unrealistic ratio based on their idea of what would or would not sell to that market. It's more a product of its time since we know that the ratio is an aritificial element of a vicious cycle that conditions boys to believe their toys should be "boy themed", and "boy-themed" toys sell better to boys as a direct result of this. I'd rather see a 3:3 gender ratio and I genuinely believe the impact on sales would be practically negligible, but I doubt the marketing and development departments are willing to be the ones to take such a progressive step. It's too bad.

They only had six elements because those were the ones represented in physical 2004-2005 sets. The story team wrote six elements on Metru-Nui because that's what was in the sets, and kids want to read stories about the characters they bought. There could be more elaborate ideas but in the end it boils down to a practical story devised to suport a basic marketing idea. That said, it was stated that the island was segregated into primary elemental districts, but matoran of other elements were shown living in other districts. If tertiary elements existed in the matoran population of Metru-Nui, they were never explicitly denied, they simply weren't mentioned.

okay you've basically heard my thoughts several times throughout the entire building process but I'll say again that this guy is absolutely PACKED with character and perfectly emulates the spirit of who Lewa is. The feet are brilliant, the arms and hands are exaggerated enough to marry familiarity and alien likeness in the way humans liken to gods, and the overall posture and lithe, atlethic build absolutely encompass everything I envisioned him to be. It's okay to be wrong.

the Marine Biologist's Association has contacted us to let us know that they're not actually The Weather Channel but they agree that tomorrow looks like it's gonna be great Chapter eleven: We'll call the mechanic tomorrow

today on Dystopian AU we're interviewing a man from an alternate universe where socks were never invented so everyone just wears really comfortable shoes Chapter Ten: We're all on the same train and boy it's cramped

this topic reminds me that I once wished I hadn't bought lifetime premier so I could buy the six-month thing to jack my proto bar up to OBZPC status but I never got that far?? Wind also once gave me +6000 proto so I guess it all evens out I have the ability to make polls and have literally never once made one. I like the blogs.

Flipped a coin for #5 and #8. Gundam wins again??

I was going to politely give it to someone else but seeing as I'm up against both Deevs and Felix in this poll I self-voted like a coward.

I'm naturally more inclined toward #3, which got my vote, but I love #4 and -almost- gave it my vote.

A quick google search brings this brickshelf gallery up for me. Go ahead and see if it has what you're looking for.

THIS IS A LIE AT CERTAIN TIMES ONE OR TWO OF THEM ARE DISASSEMBLED AS I TAKE THEM APART OR KNOCK THEM OVER WHEN HE ISN'T LOOKING

this is no way my fault OH WAIT

(it shouldn't need to be said that building gundam with constraction is way easier)
