Lenny7092 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Hi, guys! I know that we are very, very, super-excited that Bionicle is coming back, but as a reboot, so I'm thinking what can we individually nickname it in your feelings?I also know that BS01 calls it Generation 2, but, as I said, how can we individually call it in our feelings? Are you okay with Generation 2, or do you have another name in mind? For me, I would prefer to call the reboot "Ultimate Bionicle". Let me explain why I made up that name: reboots are alternate universes, so fans would give them different names to distinguish then from the universe from the original story. Since the Bionicle reboot is an alternate universe, there are a lot of differences from the G1 Bionicle story: the Masters are like stronger, more flexible, and tougher than the original Toa Mata (like having more weapons, more functions on them, and being bulkier). So, I call the reboot "Ultimate Bionicle" because this description of the reboot reminds me of Ultimate Marvel comics where characters (like famously Ultimate Spider-Man) are tougher than the original ones from the main Marvel universe from the main Marvel Comics. Since I nickname the reboot "Ultimate Bionicle", I would also nickname the Masters "Ultimate Toa Mata" because they are tougher than the original Toa Mata in my feeling. I thought these nicknames are cool to use. So, there. You see what I mean? Also so, how would you nickname the reboot in your feelings? Just asking.

Iblis Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I write G2, I read in my head Generation 2. If I were to ever actually physically talk about it it would probably be Gen. 2. I for one have only supreme distaste for the Ultimate:X system, & most variants thereof. I don't need to have it look like I'm declaring one series ot be intrinsically better than another - & that will prob up the first time a group implements this sort of scheme. Aside from that bit of pedantry, I simply don't like the 'Ultimate' style because it isn't really informative. Unless something is particularly FANTASTIC or HORRIBLE, people are going to subjectively argue about it ...but we're back at the aforementioned pedantic point. I know G2 / Gen. 2 / Generation 2 aren't particularly imaginative, so I welcome other suggestions, although I'm not a fan of Masters either (even though that is informative, it [still] sounds very generic).

Please don't break the big ones. & evidential philosophies that dare to extrapolate beyond an individual's direct experience aren't easily built.

Cambion Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) i just call it G2 or Gen 2. makes it simpler to distinguish between generations - just calling it by the year doesn't make that distinction at all, while 'Okotoverse' doesn't really have a G1 equivalent (Mata Nui-verse? kinda awkward). plus, assigning names (Okotoverse or Ultimate) rather than numbers to the incarnations of the line is honestly not that great an idea - just look at Marvel. look how many different names there are for the various series of any given superhero (Spider-Man comes to mind) and tell me that that isn't confusing.

Taka Nuvia Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I guess I'll still wait until there's more to judge it on, which will lead to the final nickname. Until then I'll probably just go for 'Gen 2' because it's short and gets the point across. 1 Quote My art collection topic - updated!

Voltex Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Generation 2 - I think that's the simplest, easiest to understand way to go. And if Bionicle is ever cancelled and subsequently rebooted again, it'll make things even easier when we can refer to that hypothetical reboot as "Generation 3". 2 Quote JOIN AETHERGARDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkeletorMaster Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Most definitely Gen 2, either that or BIONICLE 2015, or maybe simply "the reboot". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aanchir Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I think Generation 2, G2, or Gen. 2 is fine. Though can also just as easily call it "the BIONICLE reboot" or "the 2015 reboot" or even just "BIONICLE 2015" in casual conversation. Once it's been around for a year or so, names referring specifically to 2015 won't work nearly as well, but they're good for right now. 3 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeb Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 You know, Gen 1 could be called the Mataverse. So Okotoverse works for me. IMO it doesn't really make sense to name an entire universe/story generation after one island. Well, the islands are where the stories begin in both universes. They're the most iconic places in the story because they're the starting points that everyone remembers. (Well, I'm not sure if you can say that much about Okoto just yet, but we'll see.)

Iku Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Masterverse sounds good, but has a cheesy edge to it I'm still leaning on the Gen 2 phrase - it's very practical and easy to understand. Mataverse and Okotoverse distinctions I actually don't mind, though.
