While I wouldn't consider fire or water all that "tangible", (even though they are) control over trees and plants makes just as much sense as control over boulders. 1 Quote I been away a long time.

believe victims Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Suddenly... How in the world is Jungle an element? Water? Yeah.Fire? Yeah.Air? Yeah.Earth? Yeah. Jungle? ...Trees are just as likely to be an element as rocks. But the element isn't "trees", the element is the more nebulous "jungle". Jungle isn't so much an element as a biome. "Plantlife" sounds more element-like to me. Granted, a broader term like "jungle" makes it easier to worm his classic air powers in there somewhere. I just don't think the name "Jungle" fits as well with the naming scheme of classic elements. It's the difference between Tahu being a Toa of Fire or a Toa of Volcano, or Kopaka being a Toa of Ice or a Toa of Arctic Tundra. (Also I'd say trees being organic sets them reasonably apart from earth, fire, air, and water, which are not. Plus, the classic four elements have a cultural history that Jungle does not. Similar elements exist, like Wood, but the term Jungle specifically is rather unusual element-wise.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Plantlife" also sounds slightly clinical and scientific, like some of the classic theme's extraneous elements like Gravity or Plasma or Sonics, and unlike the very traditional and basic terms Stone, Earth, Air, Water, Fire, and Ice, which sound more like the kinds of terms you would hear in a tribal or mythical context. "Jungle" has more of the kind of mystique that is necessary for a fantasy theme like Bionicle, while still being better than the awful "The Green" from the original theme.

Bfahome Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Aside from the fact that water, earth, fire, and air are the "traditional" elements, jungle isn't really that much further removed from them as they are from each other already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bfahome Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Living, but not conscious. I mean, I've picked flowers before, and it didn't bother me any more than putting an ice cube tray in the freezer, or lighting the stove. I don't think science should be applied quite so directly. I don't think organic vs. inorganic is going to have as much bearing on the power as "is this a plant?" will. "Fire" is a well-established element, and while it's just a form of oxidation we're not about to see Tahu creating rust, because that's not "fire". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, there is no reason to think Bionicle will be any different, but I mean, these 4 are quite likely to have to cover the entire first half year of 2016 (if not the entire year), Lego may request that they be released periodically instead of all at once simply to fill the time.
