10 Reasons Strakk owns Gelu (read: rebuttal)
10: The Inika torso wins, yeah. But Gelu doesn't use it creatively at all. Even Gresh did better.
9: That's a cool job, though.
8: Traitors, cowards, backstabbers, and good businessmen all make great characters.
7: Robbers also make good characters.
6: Fero's tough to beat, it's true. But it's Gelu's job to fight him, not Strakk's, so cut him some slack.
5: Strakk's helmet looks like a cross between a demon, a skull, and the Abominable Snowman. Gelu's looks like a Mandalorian helmet that got a Snowflake Shield thrown at the back of it.
4: Retired soldiers can be brutal, mind you.
3: Gelu, however, looks like he's actually TRYING to make his body proportionate. Fail. Strakk revels in his "good looks".
2: Strakk had the best lines in that book, if not all of BIONICLE's later half.*
1: Gelu's sword is rubber. Strakk has a VERY. BIG. AXE. Therefore he WINS.
And the winning blow: Strakk's got a great accent. Gelu didn't even show up in the movie.
*As in,
Ackar: "It's all up to Gresh now."
Strakk: "Vy doesn't dat feel me with confeedince..."
Kiina: "You just better hope the bone hunters don't fill you with Thornax! "
Strakk: "And rrruin my good loox? They vuldn't darr!"
Gelu: "Could you save the pickpocketing till the battle is over?!"
Strakk: "By then all tha good loot vill bee gonn! Agori arr queeck, and they hav steecky feengers."
Gelu: "You're hopeless."
Strakk: "I know! Eet's my best qualiteeeeee."
