So in recent months I noticed that the bionicle fanbase has become increasingly critical of bionicle (gen 1) and I've noticed people bringing up all these criticisms (not that that's a bad thing) that I just don't remember seeing a couple years. People now criticize the sets, the story, it's media (etc etc), and it's made me wonder if bionicle is still considered the great saviour of lego or is it now just seen as an overrated theme that should have ended a decade ago? Also has the bio fanbase always been this critical or is it just that I never noticed it before?
