Actually so glad this video got recommended. I had been thinking about this recently for some reason

I actually understood what the title meant and I wanted it that way. It made watching the video better

I used to have so much Bionicle stuff. Books, toys, etc. Glad to see a video about it and I prefer it chronologically in order myself so I know what's actually going on.

The only major desync I noticed was when the rakshi punched a hole through that wall.

The The Daily 😅

LOL! You made me laugh so hard when I first read this.

night vision at best

At least Whenua used it to burn Onewa with one of my favorite jokes in these movies. It's at 44:50.

Tbf it can see through walls too

And Whenua got made into an awesome toy !

Karzahni would've been awesome to see. A chance to witness the Bionicle equivalent of Hell.

There's a guy in youtube that made 2 short videos showing fragmemts of 2006 and 2007 stories in the style of the movies, they look really good, like actually taken from the movies

@@nezaniatoimya Which is why I say they should be full length movies; we know it can be done and very well at that.

I would’ve been the visual effects artist for ignition 3, but the guy in charge (not Noah, someone else) kicked me off the project for no reason despite having liked what I showed him. He’s a cunt.

@@nezaniatoimya who was it then?

I always wished they'd have shown more of the Great Disk saga in the movie than the brief minute-flashback they have of it. Don't even get to see Ahkmou and his iffiness with the other Matoran.

There were books?

@@atheist2025 There was EVERYTHING for Bionicle XD ukposts.info/have/v-deo/q5yhfHhrhoKItXU.html

I forgot about those books sometimes I'd find a couple in my school library

(unrelated to the toa) what always gets me is the matoran struggling against the bohrok and building the boxor in the flash animations ❤

The Metru Nui (but everyone really)'s prelude and then introduction with Lhikan, followed by Krekka and Nhidiki's attack, will never stop being impactful and iconic. Bionicle's films always had a certain weight on the viewer.

Yeah, I always thought that was a really cool part of the movie. I used to not know what he was talking about until later stories.

I think the brotherhood was referenced in one of the books in like late 2004 so yeah that and the miramax script should have been made st the same time ish and miramax already had history clues for forward story points Makuta outright tells the audience that he has to keep mata nui asleep for its own good, and the infamous he's a giant robot someone yells at the kininnui just before takanuva goes looking for Makuta's lair

I thought they looked good for the time. Now it has aged but still not bad

The cgi isn't that good like amazingly, on its own but the thing that helps it a lot is the art style and the metallic / textures on surfaces A good art style and not trying to make photo realistic flash makes old cgi stand the pass of time really good

No shxt.

Only the 3rd one has CGI that aged well

Wish I still had all mine I’m super sad my parents didn’t keep more of my toys that I had as a kid I’m definitely saving as many of my kids toys as I can

Seven bucks for one of those fresh early bionicles sounds like an absolute steal in this economy oh god I think I sound old now

It took me from 2001 till 2017 to finally find a decent manas in the netherlands europe, and the block were the eyes go in is the only kind of block ever made from any excisting lego, that block is worth costs the whole set here that collector said to me... But since 2017 got finally all bionicle set from 2001 till 2009 so from toa till the gladiators.

I'm 26 now, These toys and movies and the videogame on PC! All so awesome. I had takanuva and makuta, so cool 😎

Yeah now new lego sets are like what, 15€ minimum ? lego are expansive as heck

Amen brother, our childhood had some of the best times ever, todays kids can never understand, even tho i always rooted for makuta and other villains, Lhikan's death even hit me too, hits in the feels every time

Man, I wish I could watch the Bionicle movies on VHS. I only owned them on DVD.

I had Legends of Metro Nut on VHS. Web of the Shadows was on DVD.

"know the entire story" Well a third of the main story really but yeah it is a great kids feanchise

Absolutely impactful and in line with their world (and Lhikan example)'s duty. The Toa Metru truly gave it their all throughout their history.

kinda reminds me of when parents have children, all of their focus and love must go to the child

WHAT?! I never noticed that either! Good catch!

You will see many clippings and such in the snow area as well. They needed to practice for the other two films I guess. lol

Agreed. People used to trash on the animation of these films and were saying that The Legend Reborn looked a lot better. Uh... Not really? More detailed characters, yes, but the overall designs, backgrounds, animation, colors, and camera work was considerably better in the OG Trilogy. Mask of Light was a little rough around the edges and stiff at times, but that's it.

@@FoxsDumbSeriesMaker the o ly thing I hated about the old films was the fact their idea of slow motion was simply slowing the frame rate and blurring everything. Other than that the animation really held up for quite a while. Bionicle 3 possibly has the best of everything in all the movies out together, including Legend Reborn

@@drag0nemper0r97 Ah yes, the "laggy slow motion". I feel that the animators were just cutting corners with those scenes and didn't want to animate them properly. lol

@@drag0nemper0r97 2: Metru Nui’s fight against Makuta started out in such an anticlimactic way! XD

It’s a case of good lighting, effects, and art direction making up for technical limitations. I can only imagine what this team could do with today’s technology.

Man I’m the same I grew up with ninjago and not bionicle like I grew up with ninjago and hero factory but mostly watching ninjago but bionicle rlly interests me and even building bionicle Mocs are more to my liking and I’m even thinking of buying a bulk lot of bionicle parts

Watch the Bionicle Retold series too

As someone who's always enjoyed both, I approve

@@thunderbricks8806 bro same I grew up with Ninjago and Hero Factory too, until an ex of mine introduced me to Bionicle with The Legend Reborn when we were still dating, only good thing that came from the relationship tbh

Yes, I am also from latam

Glad you enjoyed it!

I had a Gameboy Slim game of Bionicle 4, Maze of Shadows. It takes place directly after they defeat Makuta in Legends of Metru Nui, they crash land on a strange island and have to try and find a way back to Metru Nui to save the matoran. And that's why in the strat of 3, they're on a ship that's being tossed and turned in the waves.

Que chido encontrarse a otro fan de Bionicle de México por aquí c: saludos bro. Viva Mata Nui.

Does anyone remember the 4th bionicle movie featuring the mask of life? I got it as a Christmas gift. I personally didn't mind it although the original trilogy was way better. I don't know how the fandom reacted to it or their thoughts on it so please don't crucify me.

I guessed that Nidhiki could have been new alias for Dark Hunters or maybe a new member to the brotherhood 🤔

@@dmitribrutus5543 It’s more so how nobody said his name until the end of the film, so new viewers watching wouldn’t have known what to call him until, well, the end. lol

@@FoxsDumbSeriesMaker Yeah. Maybe he’s isn’t well known except for Toa Lhikan and Krekka

Haha! I'll be turning 29 myself in July! Fellow 29ther!

@@TheShadowedOne1 I'm 23. Also hello from the U.S. aka political dumpster fire. Honestly it's a miracle I'm still alive and haven't gunned down or beat to death by rioters for something as simple as being white. But hey I'm still alive and kicking. Anyways I hope your country is a bit better and your doing well and staying healthy. Have a nice night.

@@dabi8742 your the reason racism is still alive, what does race have to with why your still alive, that is honestly the stupidest thing I heard all day😭

@@Jerry-il8pe you do realize that nearly all the people murdered by rioters during these quote on quote protests are Caucasian. At least 85%. As for the part about being gunned down, I wasn't attributing that to color. I was referring to how the crime rate is so high that law enforcement is completely overwhelmed and it isn't even safe to leave your house half the time. Literally businesses are being looted before being burned to the ground by Molotov cocktails meanwhile our own government is turning a blind eye to the whole thing and instead is more focused on furthering their own political agenda. On top of that we can't even defend ourselves because the instant we fight back in self defense we end up in front of a judge because because somehow defending yourself all of the sudden makes you the bad guy. We are literally at Each others throats just to survive all the while our own government, the very same people tasked with ensuring our safety just watches us as if we're nothing more than entertainment for them. Our safety is compromised and there's nothing we can do about it. Also we can't expect help from other countries due to the global disinformation campaign put forth by none other than our own government. I wasn't trying to sound racist infact I have nothing against anyone of any color. I was merely trying to give insight into the current state of the USA. As I'm not a racist person but im instead a person who treats everyone equally and accepts anyone for who they are. You don't know me, so please don't be so quick to judge and ostracize me for one misinterpreted comment. I merely explained the current situation the u.s. is in. I try to be unbiased and see things from both sides and I've noticed the U.S. is on a path to self destruction. Good night my friend and I hope my comment helps you understand things a bit more clearly.

@@Jerry-il8pe everyone has gone insane with the word racism these days, people say having children is racist, eating meat is racist or being healthy is racist ETC. I hope all of these were not intended to be taken seriously but WHY WRITING IT IN THE INTERNET IF IT ISN'T APRIL FOOLS?????!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!?

what happened

@@Fry09294 he died

@@Michael_Afton40 yes thank you, I gathered that

We all apologize for your loss but your figures and memories will always be in your heart and no one can steal those feelings they gave you

I only have gen two and after many years of use the heads are broken

Lhikans brothers were sent on deadly missions by the fake Dume. Most of them were killed by a third Dark Hunter, codename Eliminator, who was never mentioned in the movie or the comics that came out during that time. The Dark Hunters are not really Makuta's minions. He rent them from a crime lord (The Shadowed One). Him eating the two later caused a war between their respective armies. Lhikans team had eleven members. Tuyet, Toa of water, stole an object that allowed her god level elemental powers and wanted to take over the world. The Dark Hunters found out and followed her. To make authorities aware of the Hunters that were on her tracks she killed several citizens and placed evidence that blamed the DH. When she continued to do that after the Hunters were arrested, she was stopped by Lhikan and Nidhiki. (In the multiverse there is a dimension where she succeeded, a lot of characters were killed there and even their Makuta is afraid of Toa) Nidhiki later allied with the Dark Hunters, who had declared war on the city, because Dume didn't allow them to build a fortress on Metru Nui. He was supposed to guide the other Toa into a trap, but Lhikan witnessed his betrayal and planned an ambush on the ambushers, ending the war. Nidhiki was sent alongside the other Dark Hunters to the Shadowed One. The Shadowed One didn't like Toa, or people who betray their allies, even moreso if their betrayal was unsuccessful. Nidhiki was allowed to stay and trained Dark Hunters on the island. His most frustrating student was a creature from the island of Stelt, who lost one eye in a fight with Makuta's sister Gorast, purely because of stupidity. When Nidhiki asked The Shadowed One whether he could get a partner for missions, the Shadowed One assigned him with Krekka, knowing well that it would be agony for Nidhiki. Nidhiki soon had enough and planned to leave the island. At this time Roodaka made her visit. She wanted to ask the Shadowed One for training. But he refused, knowing that she didn't had the intention to join him. Nidhiki made a deal with Roodaka. Together they were supposed to leave the base. But when he waited for her to show up, he was struck by a projectile and transformed into the giant crablike creature he is today. Roodaka had made a deal with the Shadowed One, she would punish Nidhiki with her mutation spinner and he would allow her training.

You're frickin' right! I never realized until now that Whenua is Landmine! He even has shovels on his hands!

@@Makutros wait hold up? Where the heck did you find this info? And there's a Multiverse for this series!?

@@williamkim9861 there is a multiverse. It was established a year after the third movie came out and there was a small side arc where the Toa of Light gets launched into the multiverse because Brutaka, a guy who can summon dimensional gates with his mask, wanted him to quicktravel but his mask was broken and he had a small odyssey in which he found a dimension where Makuta accidentally killed the Great Spirit (told in the online released short story The Kingdom) and one where said Toa had her regime (short story Dark Mirror). There is also a universe where there is no Great Spirit but Makuta is a being of light and one where their roles are reversed. Lhikans story was told in the book Legacy of Evil as it intertwined with the origin story of the Piraka. Tuyet first showed up as a corpse in the underwater arc in the short story Into the Darkness and was then expanded upon with her origin story the many deaths of Toa Tuyet. Nidhiki's origin story is told in the short story Birth of a Dark Hunter and was then retold in Legacy of Evil from the Piraka's perspective. And Eliminator was established in the official Dark Hunter guide book.

I actually got into watching Transformers Cybertron back then because I recognized Whenua's voice as Landmine, and became a huge Transformers fan because of it XD

What happened?

Two decades?! You never once watched until now?! Even my nostalgic mind would force me to watch these every now and again.

He's also The Overlord in Ninjago

It concludes about when Lewa and the two seekers crashland on the mountain.

Oh, I'd kill for such a thing.

Souldborne would actually work perfectly for a Bionicle game. The Toa are not exaggerated when it comes to power like Final Fantasy characters, nor are they cartoony like in Super Mario and Sonic games. They are much more grounded while still having unique abilities, so the slower and more limited options from the Soulsborne genre would work out really well. Imagine Toa facing off against huge and overpowered bosses like Rahi, Makuta, Dark Hunters, etc. For the sake of this particular gameplay style, let's just forget how the Toa Nuva in Mask of Light can so causally jump hundreds of feet into the air... XD

Yeah. Part of it is that most recent movie just....looked like the toys, but animated. And the Glatorian are MEANT TO BE ORGANIC WITH ROBOT PARTS IN THE LORE. But they're full on flipping robots in the movie! So stupid. They should have kept the style of the first three movies (or, well, I guess the last two since improved animation, lol)

Agreed! One day I'd love to put together a MOC of movie Roodaka.

It’s a shame because the Miramax designs are so good just look at the Gukko Pewku and the Kilanalo when it came to the Rahi Skopio was literally the toy with the rider for the replica on his back despite the Skopio they fight being the actual Rahi

@@WelshGiraffa The only reason for Skopio including the rider is because they couldn't figure out how to make it work without including the rider. ...Because they just literally copied the toys for *all* of it instead of following the goddamn lore that was already established. *ugh* drives me nuts. The plot of the movie was fine, even if it did end on a cliff hanger that deserved a proper movie instead of a series of comics or whatever on the main website, but the animation appearance just. grrr. Could have been so much better.

Their craft was as fine as the, for example, DBZ's moviemakers. Such a great set of films

They rebooted six years ago with online shorts and a 4 episode Netflix show. Didn't go well. But if they can pull it of properly I would absolutely be on board.

@@Makutros G2 could have done so well if they had managed it better and didn’t rely on G1 fans carrying it

You killed me.

They also have elemental powers. The canon explanation is that they exhausted them when they went on the fetch quest in the beginning of the movie. The Toa all have one elemental power and one unrelated mask power. Makuta in canon has a set of around 50 different powers, including shadow, shapeshifting and the powers of his minions in Mask of Light, which is why his battle scenes are a bit... underwhelming. But I guess Lego at that time was still figuring out what degree of violence portrayal was ok to be shown on screen.

I believe this is really just a personal preference, some people like metru nui more than MoL, some furry edgelords might pick web of shadows, it kinda depends on the person
