>>6979843Set-wise I agree but, would have they been ruined like the Toa Nuva were? If this really was supposed to be Nuparu like some have been claiming, the answer is yes.
Story-wise, I'm not against it. I believe we would've gotten Nuva vs Makuta in 2009 either way. It's that you'd need to give 2008 something interesting going on for it in order to have it not feel like filler.
