on the topic of bionicle mysteries that ended in a letdown:

the mystery of "where did the toa mata come from and why don't they have any memories?" could have reasonably led to the idea that they were at one point matoran since lomn revealed that that's how toa are made

and we could've gotten some really fun backstory for what they were like before becoming toa. but instead they just always were toa. HUGE missed opportunity

one of the tragedies of bionicle is how consistently it would throw in little mysteries and then completely fail the landing. tahtorak shows up demanding "give me the answer" to a question no one knows but the question was just "how the fuck did i get here"

#prior to tyq the answer to “what is the red star?” was “it helps the gsr take off from planets and it's separate from it because of ???” #greg at least realized that this thing people have speculated about since the beginning was gonna need something more substantial #monkeys paw curling etc

nobody is ready for the “homestuck and the mata nui online game have the same art style” conversation

#i honestly think a homestuck esque webcomic would be the best medium to present bionicle in

#a sword made out of fire would be pretty damn bad at being a sword i think #like isn't the crux of swordfighting that you need to be able to block stuff. with the blade of the sword #maybe thats what the hau is for. hydraxon was like “block this overhead” and tahu said “i literally can't”

I was gonna make a post like I often do asking "If you could cast Kristen Schaal as any Bionicle character, who would it be"

but then I realized there's only one answer and it's Macku

I think it's funny how 99% of posts about the Glatorian and Agori have nothing to do with the actual characters or plot of the Bara Magna arc, and instead are just using them as a stand-in for regular human people to see how MU residents would interact with them

On his travels, Takanuva offhandedly mentions that he founded the Chronicler's Company and accidentally makes friends with several Vortixx who see him as a fellow businessman

Kualus probably stopped wearing his scarf as a Rahaga after he tried to use his back mounted Rhotuka for the first time and nearly throttled himself.

Iruini never let him hear the end of it.

It occurs to me that some of you only know Patrick Warburton for his role as Kronk

Open question: if you had to cast Patrick Warburton as any character from Bionicle, who would you cast him as?

#dude was brock samson and lemony snicket he's got range #personally im imagining him as pridak or vezok or maybe ahkmou
