shadow pridak money gang Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) lol so much intro to philosophy in this thread lately. light is light and dark is dark. you can kill either of them with a lightswitch and they both happen at least once in twenty four hours. no need to get all "time is a flat circle" about it especially here where pretty much nobody is really light/dark anymore -Tyler Edited October 31, 2014 by Tyler Durden 4 SAY IT ONE MORE TIME TELL ME WHAT IS ON YOUR MIND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constructelf Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Ghosthands' remark made Mr wonder something. What exactly did Makuta want? As there was no Metru Nui to keep the Matoran from going back to in this universe, what was the point of toying with them for however many years Matoran history goes back in this game? For fun? As an experiment? If Makuta really wanted to, he could have unleashed the Rahkshi army that appeared at the end of last arc much earlier and overrun the Koros. What stopped him from either burning everything to the ground or forcibly create a society in his name ruled by him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I kinda get the Morgoth analogy, but Makuta, like others above me said, is not only the dark figure archetype but also the oppressive tyrant, and unless you like living in a fascist society where your rights and even your lives are at the pleasure of a being that might as well be evil incarnate, it's not a very good deal. Morgoth created the orcs by taking elves and doing... stuff. He also was an opressive tyrant, and indeed not a very good deal. Well, hello.

Constructelf Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 They -could-, but it would be really awkward. It be like throwing yourself around in a cyclone or something.

PancakeShiners Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 It is a shame that Pala-Koro died, but it does happen. What's going on in Le-Koro/Wahi right now? Anything relatively open where I could move Tuki? c: Thanks for the welcome back~ As for me, I'm not going to get involved in these arguments, HA! And remember! Even if your Le-Toa can't fly, they can still swing from vines, and that's awesome. xD "a b c d e f g, Rahkshi are my enemy. Some are black, some are blue. That one's chewing on my shoe.
