>>8838543I think Bara Magna would have been a lot better if it had just been a new franchise rather than a soft reboot of Bionicle. The setting was a good contrast to Bionicle's early years - sword and sandals instead of tribal island - and it had a lot of fun ideas for play features that went beyond just "new launcher."
Shackling it to Bionicle not only brought down Bionicle's story potential, but Bara Magna's as well.
