MrSciFiGuy Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Hey everyone, I saw that there was that awesome news on the homepage about the NASA nebula, and I went "Hey, fans do all sorts of crazy things nowadays so why not shoot for the stars? Literally." And that's where we are. The goal of naming a nebula/formation that is PK 329-02.2, or another one like it. Give your support and share this petition around!

Lyichir Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Ugh... to be honest, this kind of thing is one of the things I dislike about this fandom. I mean, when we first saw the pics of that nebula, it was exciting! The resemblance was uncanny! It was pretty neat, all things considered. But like so many other things, the fans seem determined to take it too far. We need to actually change the name of the nebula! After all, doesn't Bionicle deserve it? Screw ordinary celestial naming conventions—surely this nebula needs a faux-Latin, non-descriptive name from one of the weaker chapters of a merchandise-driven kids story. I loved Bionicle! But I'm under no illusion that it's nearly relevant enough to merit this sort of thing. 13 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopekemaster Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) I do somewhat agree with Lyichir, but, honestly, there isn't really any reason why they couldn't name it that (besides the fact that there's only a small number of people who would actually get it). In addition to the links in the post above this, there are also galaxies and elements named after people. Yes, they're usually people that played a direct role in the discovery of the galaxy or element, but if we're talking about throwing conventional naming methods out the window, I think that shows that we've already done that plenty. So I signed. I have major doubts that this will actually do anything, but hey, why not. Edited October 15, 2015 by Kopekemaster 2 Quote My Writing Blog (more writing coming soon!)

Chip Wiseman Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Signed! I really hope this goes through. As was said before, scientific discoveries have been named ridiculous things before, and besides, PK 329-02.2 will always be its scientific name. And who wouldn't want a star system named after one from their favourite franchise? Quote -L- to the -K- Sometimes, I look at my desk, and think, "What am I doing with my life?" ...

MrSciFiGuy Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 I get it that people doubt it will happen or saying its a longshot, but we don't get to make things happen by waiting and wishing. If we have a shot at this I'm gonna take it because you never know how far people can make this go. Like I said, we're literally shooting for the stars. Why not try to make this happen? 2 Quote Bionicle: ANP aims to create narrated versions of all the Bionicle books, with voice actors for each character, and music taken from various media to enhance the story.

aldero Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) Well, by this point, Menzel 2 has probably already changed significantly considering it's sheer distance and it's immediately irrelevant and delayed photograph, so we might as well snag it.

We're just asking for a nebula that has enough resemblance that it makes sense, we're not asking for anything crazy like changing a country's name or flag, so calm down. A lot of objects in space have odd names anyways, and I'm pretty sure some have been named after fictional things. No one is taking anything too far.

SPIRIT Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Can we talk about the name? If we're going for iconicness, it would be better to call it the Bionicle Nebula.

Takhamavahu Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) I like the idea of naming it something Bionicle but 1. Only the shattered Spherus Magna looks like that. Not the whole Solis Magna system. 2. Solis Magna already means "Big Star" in (not very good) Latin and NASA has plenty of those. A bionicle name would be great, but PK 329-02.2 is not a star, and the bionicle object it looks like is not a star. Better to name it Mata Nui or Takanuva or as Spirit suggested, the Bionicle Nebula would be perfect. Something that isn't already a misleading latin word.

Sergei Rahkmaninoff Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Can we talk about the name? If we're going for iconicness, it would be better to call it the Bionicle Nebula. I'd be surprised if more than a handful of people know what Solis Magna is, particularly given that it was a term coined as a fan suggestion after the series had ended. I really agree with this, especially because Solis Magna is real-world Latin for 'great sun.' That's not going to remind anyone of Bionicle - it's more likely to confuse them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSkeletonMan939 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 If we're going for iconicness, it would be better to call it the Bionicle Nebula. Ditto. Quiz every Bionicle fan and only a very small amount would know what the Bionicle solar system is called. Most would probably say "Spherus Magna" if they wanted to guess. If this name-change were to truly happen, I'd want it to be called the Bionicle Nebula rather than a relatively obscure name that popped up near the end of the line's initial lifecycle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishers64 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 IMO Bionicle Nebula sounds silly. What's next, the Unity Duty Destiny Superhighway? Solis Magna sounds dignified and formal, more fitting for this sort of thing. I don't see why we have to rename it, but if we are going that way, Solis Magna sounds better. 2 Quote Hero Factory RPG | Bionicle Mafia XXIX: Storyline & Theories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
