SailorQuaoar Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Is Greg still open to canonizing new details for the g1 story? If he isn't I can perfectly understand (And I don't know why he's even gone on this long) but if he is, I wonder if he can re-establish Plantlife as a female element. That's the one thing that still upsets me about the old story.I guess I just don't understand the thought process behind changing a story element based purely on a typo, since Plantlife was originally intended to be a female element. Bionicle's gender ratio is still very skewed, but if Plantlife were made female I think it would be a tiny bit better.Not to mention that there are no named Bo-Matoran or Bo-Toa, so no one would have to get genderbent. We've gotten a lot of other things canonized, why not this? Edited May 12, 2015 by SailorQuaoar 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrie Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I agree completely, the gender inequality is rather ridiculous. This'll definitely help since it doesn't require changing the gender of any characters, which makes something like this much easier.

Jobber Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I support this 100%. There should be more females Bionicle. Plantlife should be exclusively female as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petewa Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Yeah, the G1 gender ratio's crazy, and I'm not sure they plan on making G2 any better. Plantlife does seem like the perfect point to tackle in order to even that ratio out, even if only by a little bit. And plus, Plantlife seems far too fluid and organic to be considered masculine, IMO. Quote Mataru Nui, an Interactive Adventure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grungemeister Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 There's certain elements that need to be either male or female. For example, I couldn't imagine Gali as a guy. But some elements I think could work either way. Psionics, for one, because it is canonically both. I think plantlife could also work either way, but since the gender ratio is skewed, plantlife could easily be a female-only element. The ratio isn't VERY skewed, though. I think someone around here did the math and it was something like 1.33 to 1. 3 Quote A RUDE AWAKENING - A Bionicle G1 continuation and video-game project(MUSIC COMPOSER) special thx to Inary the Gunhaver for my new username.

Sharnak the Bohrok Lord Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I don't like the gender ratio either but I don't think throwing out retcons is the answer. Plant-life has been established as a male element for years. Why change it now just to please only a handful of people? 7 Quote Remember Artwork III? It was the best of times.

DuplexBeGreat Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Because it isn't really "established." Plantlife hasn't appeared in the story in any significant way. The only confirmation that we have that it is male is word-of-Greg, and possibly a mention in the Encyclopedia or something. 5 Quote idk man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I fail to see the point in trying to Canonize something that already has canonization, which typically isn't how canonization works. I mean this isn't canonization, this would just be changing and undoing details just to please some part of a fanbase, which I hardly doubt greg would do even if he had the time... He doesn't seem like the type who is a fan of Retconning. But of course this is just my opinion. Also you know it is already kind of Bigender if people want to get technical, since there are agori of Plantlife, and Agori can be male or female regardless of element... if memory serves me right.

IXRollOutIX Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I don't have any intention for this to come off as sexist, but is there any canonical reason as to why females (or really gender distinction to begin with) exist in the Matoran Universe? To tell a story and establish characters effectively, you need gender association, so I understand why you'd have to choose one or the other. And let's not pretend like marketing and target demographics aren't a real thing (just because you might think it's wrong) when I say this line is primarily targeted towards boys. So why not just make them all male? The real answer is "so that it doesn't leave girls out" and that's understandable. They shouldn't be. Anyone should be able to enjoy this great series and relate with the characters. That said, was it ever actually explained why the female gender exists within Mata Nui? I don't need the answer to be complex. There could be a line of text somewhere that essentially says "the Great Beings got bored and just wanted diversity, so they based a couple races off the female inhabitants of Spheres Magna," but does an answer actually exist?

TheSkeletonMan939 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) The "typo" thing was something I've heard regrading Orde being male.

Regitnui Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Honestly, I don't see why this matters at all. At least the GSR size debate has some intellectual exercise value. This is mostly pointless. There's a horrible gender ratio in G1, because the writer had some sort of phobia when it came to writing two female characters talking, as if he were intimidated by the Bechdel Test... That's just how it is. 5 Quote Elemental Rahi in Gen2, anyone? A write-up for an initial video for a G2 plot I really wish everyone would stop trying to play join the dots with Gen 1 and Gen 2 though,it seems there's a couple new threads everyday and often they're duplicates of already existing conversations! Or simply parallel them with a slightly new 'twist'! Gen 2 is NEW, it is NOT Gen 1 and it is NOT a continuation. Outside of the characters we already have I personally don't want to see ANY old characters return. I think it will cheapen the whole experience to those of us familiar with the original line...

I keep meaning to go back and see if plasma or gravity have been defined; gravity probably has, but plasma might be doable. Neither has appeared in story enough. The Piraka once discussed a Toa of Plasma that Zaktan supposedly killed (Avak surveyed the scene afterwards and found bits of melted armor, a mask, and puddles of stuff he didn't want to identify), but I don't recall if the Toa's gender was mentioned. In Time Trap, Lariska had been sent on a mission that pitted her against a Toa of Gravity, so she and TSO were discussing that. There was mention of a Ba-Matoran village in Reign of Shadows (Mazeka and Teridax returning from the Melding). I don't recall the genders being mentioned here, either.

UnderscoreChronix Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Yes.

The ratio isn't VERY skewed, though.
