Bionicle 2015 Discussion

[Toa_Bomb]

I'm not sure if you're referring to me or Eljay when you say "Jay" and seeing as I don't remember Eljay speaking at the time the Vahi was brought up, then I'm astounded someone actually remembered my original username, let alone refer to me with it

But I do agree with you, the final nail has yet to be put in the coffin. From what Merlin said, it's safe to assume that at the very least the story team is still working on the concepts at hand and that we won't get a definitive answer until either the Vahi does show up or the line ends, and assuming it doesn't happen people will claim it was a "planned feature". A link between worlds ( ) doesn't necessarily have to be in the form of the Vahi; Vezon and Brutaka both had Olmaks at one point and there's always the hundred billion other dimensions where everyone was mercilessly slaughtered for entertainment by the Grand Author Farshtey that might show up . Only time will tell if they choose to go down this path (no pun intended).

It's fun to see even the story team actually wanted the webisodes to feel like a story being told by someone else (though in my opinion, they should've added a few cuts to scenes similar to a campfire gathering or G1's stone theatres, just to make that idea clear). Let's hope the summer animations pass that feeling better.

As for LOSS, I don't hate him per se, just the wasted potential. I just think he could have been more menacing and a better challenge, even as a starter villain.

You know, if the whole thing was being told by the PoF, then that's a pretty good explanation on why the first few episodes were so Tahu-Focused.

[Kalhiki]

Maybe when all is said and done, they'll have something at the end where it's shown that PoF was telling the story to the villagers.

"For this is the tale of the Bionicle."

... Or whatever...

And it never happened at all...

and then a bright red comet crashed down a few meters behind them and Tahu steps out

But the narrator sounds nothing like POF, so it can't be him.....But I do hope that the narrator ends up being a canon character. (But I, personally, don't believe the whole "baby villager=Takua=chronicler=narrator" theory).

That's literally impossible. Every single voice is done by the same guy.

Guys, is it too late for this?

Agreed, not believing the baby villager theory.

And true, it doesn't need to be POF. What if it's Makuta? And at the end he turns good and is telling the villagers the story?

"Don't do drugs wear super-powerful masks, kids."

There's no, like, upvote feature to this site, is there?

"I didn't- I did- I di- I- I didn't slip." 10/laugh would 10 again.

Yes, but he uses a different tone for each. PoF's is different from the narration voice, so it can't be him.

And then one of the villagers listening to the story will accuse him of making things up all along, and decides to search for the MoUP himself.

Seriously, though, I actually like that idea, if only because it's more interesting to see a villain reformed than defeated. Then again, a lot of series have played the redemption card already (Transformers:Prime, MLP (frequently), even Ninjago and Legends of Chima), so it might be better to go a different route this time

Whomever the narrator is, he's putting on different tones and inflection for every character anyway, he could be embelishing his own voice.

Or it could be a different Protector of Fire. But saying it's not him because the voices aren't the same is directly contrary to the real life fact of all the voices being the same guy.

[MakutaOfWar]

I would think in terms of marketing that they would have gotten a female voice actor for Gali(allegedly the Korean version has one?), doesn't seem smart as younger viewers would probably believe she a dude.

The interview with the writer explains the decision, though. They weren't meant to talk as much, since all dialogue is the narrator's. Lego wanted more dialogue, but things were set in stone by that point.

Maybe next year?

They already believe she's male :/

Okay, yeah, sorry. I'll keep it related.

In related news,

Yes she does. I watched the Korean version when it leaked so I could at least understand what was happening in the next episode. Got soooo mad when they had a female actor for Gali.

[Nekchir]

I'm really mad about it too!

[One Very Agile Cat]

All the voices in the Korean version were awesome, really. It's a damn shame because Gali is easily my favourite of 2015 both in set and personality.

[Clone 01354 Productions]

I think that the Italian version was the best, in terms of voice acting. Whoever the voice actor was, he had such emotion in his voice, and each character sounded great.......But I still think that the English narrator does a pretty fine job (especially on Pohatu! )

And also, I'm calling it now: the narrator is the Protector of Jungle. He is so important in the story right now!! But really, it's a shame that we didn't get to see any of the other Protectors' personalities......

We got a tiny tiny bit of personality with Jungle and Stone, maybe Ice, but not even through dialogue.

Well at least they are "pandering" to the old audience by making the same mistakes :P

[Nekchir]

I hope we get new masks for the Toa in 2016. 'Nuva' versions would be nice to see.
