>>10751529>>10751556Okay I think I'm on the same page now. We were coming at this from different angles but I think we can all agree that the Technic aesthetic was peak. Like yes, I did like the Technic integration in G2 (I'd argue it's not as egregious as you guys say but I also get your point). But at the same time, the peak was the first 4 years of Bionicle where things were gappy messes full of abstract designs made from Technic parts.
The unfortunate thing is, I guarantee most people don't agree with that. And that's not a Lego thing or whatever, but a mass market thing. I could be wrong, but I always felt like people dislike abstract designs that are left to some imagination. Hence why the Rahi didn't last, or why earlier Technic subthemes are seen as red-headed stepchildren to the theme as a whole. Now I'd say those people are dead fucking wrong, but unfortunately we're in the minority.
Maybe one day we'll get someone who's batshit crazy like us and wants some creativity in designs once again.
