>>9133461Are you sure about that? Because when I was a kid, the reason I was drawn to bionicle over other Lego sets or toys in general was specifically because it was mysterious, evocative, and inspired. Seeing these cool ass box arts and moody CGI ads with the gravelly-voiced narrator made me curious like nothing else, then I bought one, visited the website, learned the story of mata nui, got the comics. Played the flash games. And on from there.
If it was just a generic robot toy with generic box art , generic enemies, generic worldbuilding like the G2 sets I wouldn't have bothered. And I didn't.
>Inb4 "kids don't have the attention span for all that nowadays so they had to simplify it"Bullshit. Every generation to ever walk this earth has said the same thing about the new generation. And it's never true.
