Bionicle never failed lego, lego failed bionicle.

[@Skrallizar]

I felt this statement in my heart. Couldn't have said it better.

[@noobsaibot7073]

True, so right man 😭

[@SasukeUchiha-ix2yk]

It will never die in my heart

[@hosomi1833]

[@lincolnbeckett8791]

Fact 108. Bionicle was the best series Lego ever produced. EVER!

[@theakiwar9118]

Rakeem Beckett-Scott This is fact. I followed all the lego stories since 2001 and bionicle could be anything. Romance, horror, heroism, western, adventure, mystery. Just everything (Greg Farshtey said that himself). Ninjago is somehow its spiritual successor (but its sidestories aren't great). Bionicle 2015 had great sets, but the story wasn't that great.

[@legokingiscool]

1000000000000000% True. I will greatly forever love BIONICLE. The best series invented by all of mankind.

[@lil_boi_savage2257]

The video game was easily my whole childhood 😂

[@lmao.3661]

its up there with lego starwars

[@Supasmartguy]

Until ninjago.

[@carumsarene]

To be honest, Lego showed little love for Bionicle Gen 2. They gave it a very small team to work with, with more focus on the toyline than the story itself. They didn't try at all to make the sets appealing to kids besides a few online videos and on-the-box comics. They created a very short television series that was privatized to Netflix instead of a public channel like Cartoon Network. It's no wonder why they failed. Even Ninjago and Nexo Knights got a much larger startup, Lego didn't even give Bionicle Gen 2 a chance!

[@NinjaTyler]

Carum Sarene agreed, and the new sets were too clunky, it felt like they slapped together a team from the heroes team to push this out instead of a passion project, the heart is what got most of us into bionicle, this just was "eh let's entertain the fans wants and throw this at them, see how they like it and maybe we'll make money out of it.

[@Blockistium]

The new setting just seemed _desolate_

[@legoindianamogens]

Same can be said about 2015's Pirates. Didn't have a single TV commercial, was exclusive to selected toy stores in some countries, and only lasted one year. It's a shame because Pirates is one of LEGO's core classics, and was really big when it first came out with lore and stuff, but the only things LEGO put faith into now are licenses and Ninjago successors.

[@Jeddostotle7]

Carum Sarene Netflix has surpassed cable in terms of viewership/subscription. Putting something on Netflix is not limiting its success. In fact, it often increases its success. See: any Netflix original series actually produced by Netflix, the Marvel Netflix series, Voltron: Legendary Defender, etc. etc.

[@Dragonslayro]

honestly post like these make really happy because it lets me know that there are other true and dedicated fans to the series that agree that the new gen is just trying to get a quick pay rather then putting the love they had in the original

[@KiwiKJ]

It's really nice to see a large channel, talk about a franchise that nowadays, doesn't have as a big of an audience. Thanks for the video!

[@KaltatheNobleMind]

maybe this is the start of a resurgence:D remember like several months ago there was a boom of Bionicle memes on Reddit and I think there is a slow creep towards the 2000's as people run out of 90s nostalgia and 2000s kids are having their own. for sure Bionicle will be brought up as one of them rare gems of the decade,doubly so for lego related Movies:D

[@Atriox2004]

You should watch DuckBricks’ 9 hour lore video.

[@RetroActionUK]

@@KaltatheNobleMind definitely started a resurgence as LEGO released a new BIONICLE set this year and showed it still appreciated the theme.

[@philbattiste9649]

Fun fact: Lego would have gone out of business if not for Bionicle. Bionicle was one of their first attempts at making their own story. Having an entire world with unique characters really resonated with people. Before Bionicle, it was mostly lego City and the closest they had to storytelling was Star Wars (and a lot of those profits went to Lucasfilm).

[@zacharyjochumsen9677]

Phill yeh Lego stat wars was honestly what crsted legio bionicle if you thi k sbut it

[@HunhowsShadowStalker]

Actually, Jungle was an elemental power in the first generation of Bionicle and went under the name "the green" or "Plantlife". Matoran of this element were called Bo-Matoran and their armor had green as a primary and blue as a secondary color. By extension, there were also Matoran of Gravity (Ba), Psionics (Ce), Sonics (De), Magnetism (Fa), Iron (Fe), Plasma (Su) and Lightning (Vo).

[@Unkle_Genny]

Keva the Half-Kestora And, if I'm correct, Lightning and Psionics were all female, just like Water, and the others are all male.

[@HunhowsShadowStalker]

Mark Miller Right, however, when it came to Psionics, there was one exception to the rule. Toa Orde was the first Toa of Psionics and was male. He tried to use his powers to calm down a Zyglak, but his own temper only made the Zyglak angrier. So, the Great Beings decided that every Ce-Matoran and Toa of Psionics from then on would be female, as they tended to be more gentle.

AnthonyM the Gamer Artist! bionicle belongs to the FANS Now, not lego.

[@Dark_Tale_2077]

Hopefully they do a better job at marketing next time around. This is the first I am hearing of a new generation and I freaking loved the Bionicle series.

[@Toon.Hamstreak_658]

***** run. Run fast, rin far. Run from g2.

[@madman19979]

It's highly unlikely that Bionicle will ever return. It's been cancelled twice now, no company would bring a franchise back a third time after two failures (not that G1 was a failure, but it _did_ end prematurely). Best move on to new things, and stop clinging to the past. Let the memories stay as what they are; memories, and fond ones at that.

[@JALENACE]

i miss bionicle so much bruh why did lego end it 😤🤔

[@silverfoil8854]

Didn't sell enough sets.

[@ktlethefox3487]

well to sell more sets they need to add new characters to get people to buy those sets

[@ScottaHemi440]

mostly it was because the series got stretched out past it's original intention which caused it to get old which caused sales to slump. they brought it back though last year

[@qiaoshengling2241]

GRIM HOOD-in my opinion G2 sucked and was bad....cries* I wish the story was a continuation to the original

[@TheCheeseKnees97]

they left it open for a continuation to. They could have made a next gen toa team with the toa nuva/inika playing the role of turaga. There could have been return locations and we could have seen how much of the island was robot, and how much was just terrain.

[@babysinclairfan]

Kind of sad that bionicle only came back for a year or so. Bionicle shouldve had a tv show. It couldve been the next transformers.

[@kurokage4440]

They had a 4 episode series on Netflix but it wasn't very good

[@JacobFoust]

They had 3 movies

[@Luka1180]

@@JacobFoust ????????????????

[@jackknifevideoworks]

@@Luka1180 Technically four movies. They were... fine... my favourite is the second one

[@agrogorn1327]

So awesome!!! Bionicle was my Passion growing up. I started with Tahu in 2000 and hardly failed to buy a new set! Thank you for making this!!!

[@the_timinator77]

I became a fan when it all began. BIONICLE was one of the pillars of my teen years, and we still have a plastic tub filled with all the old sets, and even a stack of the original comics (though I have to handle them carefully since my and several of my brothers loved reading them repeatedly at that time).

[@theegg7520]

Bionicle, each set sold separately, batteries not included. This was my jam growing up! So much character and lore for a toy! Brings tears to my eyes.

[@krisstasko]

I believe you mean "rise fall rebirth and fall again"

[@ThePsychicMaster64]

I believe you mean "rise, fall, rebirth, and fall again." Grammar Nazi!

[@DeadLemonade]

ThePsychicMaster64 WRONG! Punctuation goes outside of the quotation marks! With exceptions because there's always exceptions. Eat that grammar nazi!

[@ThePsychicMaster64]

Damn! Foiled again!

[@naturalist4life396]

18:40- actually, plantlife was a minor element in the original run, and was also green, so potentially they blended the 2 together?

[@williamgalley1481]

I love how the story was the main selling point. As a kid with bionicles, I never looked at the story (except the 1st film) and I still LOVED them!

Tesla-Effect How so?

[@CharzaKitsune]

soooo... you didn't cover Makuta's plan... i will be honest: best ending ever! also, had the immense pleasure of meeting Stuart Seiger once at a museum. He was an amazingly nice guy and even told me about his artistic choices in the book: [Here thar be spoilers ahead!] In his last issue that he worked on, which ended with Matoro using the Mask Of Life, one panel that he took real pride in resembled Da Vinchi's famous human sketch of man as a machine. He invisioned Matoro's last heroic act as "Machine Becoming Man" in his ultimate sacrifice. Needless to say, I was at a loss for words when he told me this.... a shame that it took me 6-8+ Years to share this story.

[@infraredtoa9105]

You love the Bionicle Stars?!

[@CausticSpace]

A giant mecha robot battle was probably the lamest ending they could've possibly diven bionicle

[@jonnycarcano]

I became a hardened Bionicle fan around the Hordika era, but in my opinion, the peak of this franchise was the Voya Nui Era, with the Toa Inika of Voya Nui, the Piraka of Zakaz, the Matoran of Voya Nui, and Vezon, Axonn, and Brutaka of the Order of Mata Nui.

[@ionicnova7490]

6:20 is my MOC. well that was a pleasant surprise. If curious, more stuff is on my channel

[@smiith5]

That's kewl.

[@paparainien]

7 years late but.. your moc is timeless, and thank you for contributing to a wonderful community.

[@YayaFeiLong]

I must say though, the series _really_ took a dark turn right about the time it established that "Makuta" was not a name so much as a title, culminating in Teridax _leaving seven his own brethren to die by Energy Storm simply because he feared they would turn against him._ Also, can we take a moment to establish the fact that the Great Spirit Robot was 40 million feet tall? That's 7575.76 _miles._ For comparison, the Earth's diameter is 7917.5 miles, meaning this robot is almost as tall as the Earth.

[@MrJoeyWheeler]

And then think about what that means for the size of Bota, Aqua, Bara, and Spherus Magna.

[@cagegames4755]

The problem had nothing to do with the sets. The problem was that they relied on the old fans to keep it successful but it backfired. The old fans don't like the new sets and they couldn't get new fans because they had a 4 or 5 episode Netflix series and a mini-series on youtube. If they had gotten Bionicle onto cartoon network and ran a couple adds it coulda been really successful.

[@itsjustg2048]

bionicle should get a movie more then ninjago bionicle saved lego

[@itsjustg2048]

fair point

[@Cosmalano]

Tesla-Effect that's just not true. The series did bring lego out of a recession when it first launched.

[@itsjustg2048]

thanks

[@oom-3262]

You know that bionicle has 4 movies already do yo?

[@artistanthony1007]

1 Fact... BIONICLE G1's Commercials are Legendary, nothing will ever top them.

[@Arro3]

My first set was the original Onua from 2001. I was with Bionicle right from the beginning. Thanks for the video!

[@heyheyitsjae2475]

I'm back to watch this again, and can I just say: 4:59 is one of if not my absolute favorite shot of the series. It just speaks so much about Metru Nui and the Vahki's behavior.

[@little_paisano]

Oh hell yeah my favorite Lego franchise I wonder what Lego is going to de next for bionic... Oh wait

[@KaltatheNobleMind]

i hear rumors that they nixed bionicle G2 because the lego movie made sucha demand for the toy company they had to sacrifice one theme to use its resources for the more in demand stuff. hopefully they do the same thing with G1 and cancled it premeturly so they cna reboot it again. hopefully may get its own theatrical film afterNinjago and lego ovie 2:)

[@dooplon5083]

Meir Teichman That rumor sounds ill informed

[@Dargonhuman]

+Meir Teichman Not sure where you heard that, but it's not true. The reason Lego killed G2 was due to astoundingly poor sales of the sets, which was kind of their own fault for pricing them so high and not marketing them well enough.

[@KaltatheNobleMind]

Dargonhuman has it? i know my local toys r us still has both masters and uniters and my barns and noble has had the 2015 ones until this past christmas but lego said they sould as needed. i think. but yes marketing was poor and thinking about it yeah both main charatcers either needed more or less than a $20 bill.

[@Dargonhuman]

+Meir Teichman The fact that Toys R Us still has any on the shelves a year after the series was cancelled is a clear indicator that very few people were buying them. Compare that to G1 sets that, at the height of Bionicle's popularity, would regularly sell out weeks or days after hitting shelves.

[@thedude4450]

[@CAP569]

this was my ENTIRE childhood. still have my bucket of parts, what an amazing line of toys. nothing will ever be like it

[@LDtheBrachio]

Great lists... sill, some facts were overlooked. For one, during the 90s Lego did come up with a lot of original characters and lines before the Star Wars LIP, including Johnny Thunder, Time Cruisers, the characters of Wild West, Rock Raiders was made during Star Wars' launch, and Lego Island's roaster I guess was made for them. Though they didn't have a on-going story but were more episodic. Other story driven Bionicle birthed were Knights Kingdom II & Exo-Force

[@CriticalThought]

oh man. I haven't thought about Bionicle in like 14 years. this is a throwback if I ever saw one.

[@mattepro1000]

Bionicles HAVE to come back! I need them in my life! The feeling of getting the new Bionicles and building them.. I need them back.

[@yeyehastaol2155]

jungle is an element, an element of surprise. But for real, it is one element of the earth

[@midnightmkii8030]

I'm Maori 😍 I reckon the Maori names were cool for the bionicles, just the stupid elders reckon its disrespectful not caring about the young ones who would've loved it 😂😂😂

[@gunjfur8633]

MidnightMKII They also used some finnish words. There are two ko-matorans named Lumi(show) & Talvi(winter)

[@Luka1180]

+Sayem It was even a misconception that it was a legal matter, in case you didn't know. People assume LEGO trademarked the words, which they didn't, and they didn't actually get sued either at all. Only threatened. It was a purely emotional matter, and was settled out of court. You will find confirmation of this in an interview in a Danish newspaper.

[@slyninja4444]

Language = Public Domain

[@robertbyrne592]

I'm Irish and if they had of used Irish names I would have loved it. Why can't people look at is as a culture being celebrated rather than get offended

[@OtisCluck]

@@Luka1180 also, the only disrespectful thing they did was use the word “tohunga” wrong, while I’m not Maori, I know about this specific instance from being in the Bionicle community, and the word “tohunga” means an elder or someone who holds a position of respect, in Bionicle it was used to refer to common villagers, so it was changed

[@toothlessthedragon5100]

Bionicle was my childhood. Between my brother and I we had collected almost all of them up through the arc with the Paraka. We came up with unique (non cannon) personalities for each character and even made a whole bunch of our own. I still have one of my old creations on my computer desk.

[@naturalist4life396]

I think the watch thing was the first time lego had done something like that, and they continue to do that today!

[@ridewild1956]

Bionicle was a HUGE part of my childhood, the first Toa I got was Kopaka, I even bought his newer version when I saw it. Now I have the old and new Kopakas standing next to each other.

0:20 "Pop open that canister…" *shows instructions for set that came in a box*

[@bitesizetuna2795]

Yep. Bionicle. Something I can't get rid of in my closet.

[@JSN117]

My first set was Toa Gali. Got this way back when it just released in 2001. Did'nt even know Gali was a girl at the time. Didnt know about Bionicle storyline either. Then when I got Tahu a few months later, I was sold and hooked on the Bionicle theme and story. I then collected all toa, all bohrok, then all of the Toa nuva, bahragh twins, Takanuva and Makuta. Little bit later on I just got Vakama from the metru nui line. Then stopped collecting because I started going to highschool. I still have all of my sets in a box, put in the attic. But I have the original 2001 Toa Tahu, displayed on my desk. He was my Red Ranger, my Mario, my Spiderman, my Superman. That thing was like my favorite toy ever. Despite it being the second bionicle I owned, I always played with him as my champion. It was probably the last toy I played with, before going into puberty. Effectively marking the end of my childhood as I went into highschool. Years down the line and Bionicle was on its last legs and the stars line came out. I was about 20/21 years old. For the heck of it and nostalgia, I bought Stars Tahu, build it and was serverly dissapointed. I held him next to my OG Tahu that was on my desk in comparison. Stars Tahu didnt look right. No more lego technic parts, and too oversimplified. Put it back in the canister and now it sits in the storage box as well. While my 2001 Tahu still stands on my desk. Long post but heres a potato 🥔

[@PohatuEudyptulaMinor]

This was a damn awesome line of toys, and a surprisingly imaginative world they created. Practically grew up with it and I'm so happy so see this on this channel :D

[@crazyinsane500]

I remember there was a browser based adventure game for Bionicle around the second or third series of the toys, and it was blatantly unfinished. It wasn't the one told through a first person perspective, the player was a villager from the water nation and collected shells and crap to gather weeds before they could go further. But there was one screen that the player could reach where it was, literally, unfinished artwork where the artists did the pencils but did nothing else and it blocked progression through the rest of the game. I'd like to think the people who worked on that game now make games for Steam Greenlight.

[@davidtucker9498]

That game was eventually finished, but yeah, it was broken and buggy for YEARS... Really fun though once they finally got it working...

Why did they even reboot it? They could have made some mad cash by rereleasing older sets and expanding their budget for multimedia productions. Rerelease the Mata Nui arc, make a Netflix series using high quality CGI, and start the merchandising! Seriously, they already had a gold mine filled with gold, why didn't they just go back into it instead of opening a brand new mine?

[@microwaveablegun9183]

It would be too expensive for them as whenever Lego feels that they won’t use the moulds again they would bury all of the moulds thus putting them out of production and pretty much all of those moulds are gone.

[@samhayes-astrion]

@@microwaveablegun9183 Lego needs to upgrade to 3D printing, that'd solve all of those problems.

[@microwaveablegun9183]

@@samhayes-astrion yeah I agree.

The original Toa Lewa set was my first set. Bionicle is love, Bionicle is life.

Bionicle was a sensational

[@SniperDog5]

I knew almost all of them. But fun to rehear them.

[@ShadowVincent3]

Was a massive fan of Bionicle. Was since 2002 and had a massive collection. Good times good times. Not surprised the relaunch didn't last

[@dtinagliastudios]

*GREG!!!!!*

[@lordmaxson9631]

Bionicle was literally my childhood. You're hitting me in the nostalgia

[@A_Jones]

It would have been cool if the TTV could've been involved

[@KaltatheNobleMind]

I would love to see their reaction to this:D in fact i hope its their own version with better facts. i have no idea why but Frederator took the most boring and inane facts to recite:( I mean who cares if they have their own cypher language or had the voice of Scott McNeil when not only was it revealed the entire setting took place within the God character but they planned it from the very beginning and was inspired by one of the creators imagining the medicine he took for cancer being little soldiers he sent into his body to fight off an evil tumor monster? this video was phoned in:(

[@A_Jones]

ikr, it would have been cool if they talked about prototypes or misprints, the cool stuff

[@KaltatheNobleMind]

A Jones eh that would have been just as bad as what frederatordid only going to deep nerd stuff. was hoping they show off the unique aspects of the toys and lore that could intice new comers. talking about why specifics of an unfamiliar franchise is better than other specifics willjust bore and confuse a casual watcher:(

[@Bionicleforever]

ikr why didnt they talk about the multiverse

[@ChannelFrederator]

Hey there, Adrian here. I LOVE TTV, and would be happy to include them in a future video (if we ever do one). Now the question is... do we pick Eljay or someone else? I watch most of his reviews and his latest podcast-y stuff, so I'm more familiar with him. Let me know! Now, about the facts. I, myself, am a huge fan of Bionicle (been buying them since 2001!), but we weren't sure exactly how Bionicle would perform with the audience. I don't believe we've ever done a LEGO line on the channel, and it was something a bit new to us (other than 107 LEGO movie). We didn't want to get too deep into the lore unless we knew the people on the channel actually liked Bionicle! Because, c'mon, the lore gets a little crazy once the Inika came into the story. Multiple Makuta, the Great Beings, Karzhani & Artakha, literally everything Greg Farshtey was writing after the Bara Magna arc ended, etc. That stuff might have been a little too deep.

[@echoesforeternity]

Awesome to see Bionicle on this channel :D

[@PhantoRoyce]

I always assumed it was called Bionicle because they were made of nickel...

[@I.Escape]

I was a fan since the very beginning and it saddens me that it was canceled twice in production but I'm glad that it was around when I was growing up so I could enjoy the awesomeness

[@dtinagliastudios]

I already knew 99% of these
