Good news :)

Great idea, I love the trance beat - the fast pace mirrors the fast pace the story is moving at. ~iL

I know Tyranide, just clearing things up for other members :)

The catalog pics will come when Tyranide gets the catalog from his source, as for the discussion, the problem is solved, that discussion has its own topic :) ~iL

And, they mess up the flow of the story, the plot of 2004 and 2005 is such a screwy mess it's not even funny. ~iL

Yeah, I know right? If they really want to please the fans, scrap all the movies, and make dirt cheap flash games :D ~iL

*cough*The Unofficial BIONICLE Story Critique Topic*cough* ;) ~iL

Well I for one adore cliches. And, most of the people on this site seem to as well. How do I know this you ask? 2 words, 1 franchise: Star Wars. If you enjoy Star Wars, then you probably like the cliche characters, in their unique setting Lucas casts them in. Who cares what is a cliche? Was King Arthur a cliche when he was invented? Just because BIONICLE features the archetypal hero characters, doesn't mean it's a bad thing. Oh - and the layout for the story for the past few years is a little irksome for me, 2007 in particular. It just seemed like the story had so much going for it, until the heroes showed up and blew away all the villains. ~iL

Looky what I made for all you off topic posters ;) The Unofficial BIONICLE Story Critique Topic ~iL

I've noticed a lot of people have been critiquing the BIONICLE story, it's characters and the writing in the 2010 topic. Since this is a good discussion, but it really detracts us away from the 2010 discussion, I thought I would start a topic to focus on the story critique. So have a ball - talk about the characters, the writing and the plot - what you like - what you don't like and what you would change. :) ~iL

Back on topic: @Tyranide, do you have any info on the catalog yet? I'm really interested to see the background they choose for the Stars. ~iL

DV - don't judge Greg until you hace read something else by him, the Shatterzone book is quite good ;). Now let's get back on topic before we get in trouble again.

Yeah, let's end this. I'm looking forward to what Tyranide has to say about the MU . . . ~iL

Agreed. Greg is also a very nice person - I met him in CT - I should know. What people keep forgetting is that Greg is really just a part of the story team. You can only complain if you don't like his writing voice, if you don't like anything else, complain about the story team. If you remember, Greg is usually the one with the better choices, Vakama staying good (obviously voted down), a female Makuta in 2008 (Gorast) and many more. I don't know too many authors that can deal with both 9 year olds and hardcore fans. Greg clearly thinks about us, if he didn't, why would he bother with the serials - it isn't 1935, most young kids don't read serialized stories. If Greg was to leave, I may very well leave BIONICLE, as far as I'm concerned as a fan of the story, Greg is the voice of the line. ~iL

The Vahki were the worst, the others were more like insects, the Vahki were like bad robots. I wish the Vahki had a "queen" that acted like Braniac from Superman.
