>>7813191For 2001-2003 it could basically just be the Flashes for the matoran POV, and the B-plot being the Toa on their adventure (or vice-versa). Basically add in some scenes of the Toa interacting with eachother on their quests and i think itll be smooth sailing from there til the end of Mask of Light.
2004 could do with some more worldbuilding for Metru Nui, showing off the Toa's various confrontations/encounters as they trek across Metru Nui. They could handle 2005 the same as b4, or they could retcon it to be in the present with the Toa Nuva, making it more plot-relevant. Either way I'd love to see some of the novels' scenes carried over, especially Time Trap ofc
For the Ignition trilogy they could just use the comics as a baseline and build on that, maybe adding some introspection for the Toa Inika/Mahri and really hammer home the serious & urgent tone. 2008 can do a bit of tweaking, but it shouldn't be too hard to make a cartoon out of these years.
The Bara Magna years could be interesting, as they could potentially completely rewrite it (mostly Legend Reborn-onwards). Perhaps Mata Nui could be in the story from the beginning, with the B-plot of the Toa fighting inside Teridax, and Mata Nui has to live the life of a regular Glatorian and witness their troubles and lifestyles firsthand, as opposed to being told about this world without any familiar character as a lens. They could even do the scrapped Bota Magna story arc. I also feel they could build on Makuta's character a bit, maybe give him a sympathetic side to his actions as MoL implied sorta. As Mata Nui explores the Great Beings' ruins and learns of his history, maybe we could see for ourselves what Makuta was protecting him from?
Eventually it'd end in Mata Nui EARNING the Agori's trust, and we could see Mata Nui & Makuta's fight have a bit more personal stakes between the two now instead of just "evil god versus weaker good god." I think there's a lot they could build on here, idk.
