Not only was Tuyet’s resurrection convoluted, it was also pointless. She gets brought back as this allegedly powerful being who could tip the scales due to Teridax not factoring in her survival... And all she does is argue with a few people about destroying the Matoran Universe, and then gets teleported out of it anyway. Nor do we ever see her use this stored power she allegedly has, so Tuyet is brought back to accomplish literally nothing. Like, why go through such a convoluted process to bring back a character, and then set them up as an unknown variable and lynchpin against Teridax, only to have her accomplish nothing and then be effortlessly whisked off by Teridax anyway?

Mata Nui, Takanuva and Matoro all seem to be Messianic and/or Paragon Archetypes. Even Ekimu from Gen 2 seemed to be this. But the way they handled their characterization in movie and animation form, especially Mata Nui's and Ekimu's, leaves much to be desired. Indeed, as the mentioned in the video, because of the limited time and the fact that Bionicle G1 was coming to a close, Mata Nui come across as a bit Gary-Stuish rather then Messianic and Ekimu was...I don't know how to describe him.

My personal headcanon: Ekimu is Takanuva. After saving Mata Nui and the entire Bionicle Universe, but then becoming a glorified babysitter for the rediscovered Metru Nui and getting stuck in the alternate universes, Takanuva finally had enough of being a side character in what he sees as his story. After Spherus Magna was rejoined and as the various Toa and Glatorian were slowly killed off by their various enemies, Takanuva saw an opportunity; he used what he learned on his various adventures to lock away most of his power to become a Turaga and changed his name to Ekimu, making a name for himself in the new meta-civilization that was emerging from the fusion of the Matoran, Agori, Glatorian, and so many other groups, tribes and civilizations that had arisen when Bara, Aqua and Bota Magna had been separated. This meta-civilization would eventually become known as Okoto, and Takanuva, posing as Ekimu, would rise to a position of prominence and eventually authority in this new world, putting himself into a position to shape Okoto into a land of peace and prosperity, guided by his light and wisdom.
@Dargonhuman6 жыл бұрын
"Why does he call Makuta in G2 brother though?" some may ask. Simple; Makuta in G2 is Teridax from G1. As was revealed on Voya Nui, the Makuta are sentient clouds of gas (well, more or less...) that can exist for a time without a physical body which makes them extremely difficult to kill. Teridax's gaseous state wasn't completely eradicated when Bota Magna smashed into his robotic head at the end of G1, but he was severely injured by the impact; Teridax lost most of his memories and sense of self, but somehow managed to survive, probably by taking on unwilling hosts that he used to build himself a makeshift body that he then used to wander the wildlands and wastes of Spherus Magna until the forming of Okoto. Eventually, he was found and brought to Ekimu (Takanuva) who instantly recognized Teridax's spirit from the time the two were fused as Takutanuva, but Ekimu eventually realized that Teridax's mind was severely damaged and he suffered from massive gaps of memory. Ekimu felt that, thanks to his brief union with Makuta as Takutanuva, their spirits were kindred, that they shared a bond more brotherly than Makuta ever shared with Mata Nui, and (by his logic), light and shadow are brother elements, and so felt it was his duty to redeem Teridax for all the wrongs he inflicted on Mata Nui, the Toa and the Matoran. So, Ekimu took it on himself to fill in the gaps of Makuta's memory, carefully crafting stories of their shared past, how Makuta was Ekimu's long-lost brother, etc. But, part of Teridax that survived the impact of Bota Magna was his drive, ambition and jealousy, which eventually led to Makuta's betrayal of Ekimu in G2 and Ekimu restoring his Toa power to become the Toa of Light when Makuta's affinity with shadow powers led him to an alliance with the denizens of the Shadow Realm (an alliance that Makuta made when he sensed that Ekimu was hiding things from him) and releasing the Skeletal Army on Okoto.

He defeats all 6 Toa at the same time in a single attack, but then gets one-shot when Ekimu shoryukens him with his hammer. At least the Lord of Skull Spiders had the excuse of being an animal.

Mata Nui was written as some kind of divine spiritual being, to the point where he was often referred to as "The Great Spirit", and making him something very different than that honestly kinda ruined the story of Bionicle for me.

This is a great and interesting list Meso. And everything that you've said was pretty spot on. I would have also mentioned that the rest of residents of Bara Magna, especially Tuma were weirdly written too. This is mostly a nitpick of mine here, but recently I found myself thinking that Toa Helryx instead of Toa Lesovikk could have been introduced in 2007 and released as a product. It actually would have made more sense that way now that I think about and for two reasons. One, Helryx is the leader of the Order of Mata Nui and she could have been notified about Brutaka's betrayal, so Botar could have taken her to the Pit to deal with him when the conflict was taking place. And two, the Pit was in the deep and she's a Toa of Water. And the other Makuta - do you think they were weirdly written too?

Interesting fact: I just realised that in Polish and Ukrainian "Velika" (велика) litteraly means "The great", or "big". Looks like Velika was planned to be the great being from the very beggining! Lol...if it's true - its one of the best bionicle easter eggs.....in my opinion! P.s. sorry for possible mistakes in the text

In Polish "Wielka" means "big" or "great", but in this form the adjective is refering to female, for example "wielka kobieta" - "great woman", "wielki mężczyzna" - "great man"

I like how G2 Onua hates maces, but that's what he was given as a weapon. He has a big hammer or shovels as Master, and then as Uniter, he has a hammer/drill/stud shooter/mace thing. If you hate maces so much, go back to Ekimu and ask for your shovels back! I like shovel form anyway. Although Onua is wise and is peaceful by way of being wise, he looks like a brute, and looks best when he's punching things. That's why I gave Onua Uniter Terak's claws and Terak Onua's hands and the mace. Not only is it funny looking on Terak, but it looks better on Onua. Downside is that he can't bend back his hands, but he looks great with big mitts. So yeah, not the weirdest written thing, but I thought it was worth mentioning that Onua is stuck with a weapon he doesn't like.

How did the great beings make the bio mechanical beings that we all love? Did they simpply materialize them out of thin air with their power? Or did they assemble them like some extraterrestrial surgeons? If its the latter, where did they get the flesh?

I'm pretty sure Botar's death was more to cement how strong Icarax is, rather than to make us feel for Botar. Botar had kinda cemented himself as this terrifying character every time he showed up, someone who even fellow Order members were hesitant to cross, so Icarax kicking his ass, easily even, was likely supposed to seem impressive.

Wait... but isn't botar like the perfect character to be killed by Icarax? Yeah the resurrection part is a little weird, but it's not him anymore. Botar is the one who made Teridax afraid, and him being killed by Icarax only shows how powerful the makuta is, and why Teridax fears him. Also the lack of story and everything just makes me not miss him much, as he was just there, teleporting a bunch of people away.

I'll tell you who was weirdly written, the Great Beings. So, at first, Mata Nui WAS a Great Being fulfilling something of a God role. Then it turns out he was MADE by the Beings who were the original inhabitants of the Magna planet. But who or what they were and what happened to them was never explained to my satisfaction.

I dunno the Ignika had a pretty simple brain, according to the story I personally don't think there was a whole lot to do there
