>>10378061I think there is technically nothing preventing the toa/Matoran species from wearing fabrics, and certainly the matoran on matanui would've weaved grass and leaves into baskets or pouches... but doing so in this manner removes a lot of the alien appeal to them. Bioworld should be disconnected from ours visually, but connected emotionally. Meaning, the story and characters and places are all mythologized, fantastical, otherworldly, surreal, impossible,but the impression they leave is to inspire the humans of this world. The message is not explicit, it is storylike. How does one shroud a metaphor that isn't a metaphor? We have to open our mind to the journey, but not leave everything behind.
