>>7209015Just to be as real as I can be, I think that they had a shit ton of great ideas and that they got neutered by corporate who just didn't give a fuck. For serious, there's no amount of money that would have stayed the opinion on Bonkles if that shit came back with the tooth and claw it had back in the day.
Imagine if, instead of all the sporadic content blinking into existence from the Ether with little or no flow, they had a story of a nomadic people under siege from a looking threat in the distance. Imagine if they had to explain the "usual" for the Okotans through events going forward telling of what had already come to be, for example- and in complete asspulling this cos it really is so easy- if the Okotans were secretly fleeing the grasp of a great unknowable terror, and by taking a final stand they invoke their Destiny and become "Master Protectors", the Toa parallel of the new generation.
So yeah, maybe the Lego heads REALLY dropped the ball on that one, but it's okay. I'm happy we got all that we did, and better still? I'm no longer the lost Matoran in a mysterious world, I'm now the Turaga. The one who tells the stories of old to inspire new heroes. Such is the way of the Bionicle, no?
