Ikki o' Moopyville Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) Sounds like 2009 will be another Epic Mask Quest. Oh, and that glimpse of Mata Nui is flippin' sweet. -Ikk Edited May 10, 2008 by Ikki o' Moopyville Quote
Phantoka Kopaka Nuva Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 I'd bet 10000 widgets that giant in the video was Mata-Nuithis. Greg even said that if Mata-Nui were to appear, he'll most likely be in CGI. So the giant in the video has got to be Mata-Nui. But man, does that give away a lot of spoiler or what! For those who are complaining about Miserix, obviously you haven't read Mutran Chronicles 6. It said that Miserix has "a penchant for shapeshifting into exceedingly nasty reptilian creatures". Besides, Greg chose the model himself. So is he a "shit-brained no-nothing" like a certain member said? I don't think so. Quote
hewkii9 Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) It bugs me when people just bash Greg over everything in BIONICLE... He deals with the storyline itself, but the feel of the story is agreed on by focus groups, along with set designs, etc. If it weren't for his constant interaction with the fanbase over the internet (Which he does only because he wants do, and while not at work), we'd have no input whatsoever, being outside the target audience, and we'd never get anything we want. I agree, and I've always thought that the flaws in the story were caused by the sets - when Greg has to shoehorn all these things in along with the story that he wants - like the embarrassing plot device that is why Hydraxon is alive- it doesn't work. But when the sets are good [like this spring, or '04 when Greg was new at this] the story seems good. The serials seem a good answer to this [no having to shove in two more Matoran this summer, they have a serial]. But if the end of the year and 09 match the hyperbole, then I'll be happy. Did anyone else here notice the Indiana Jones music at the end, right when Mata Nui was introduced? And Europe, too. Last things I had expected for Bionicle, with their last real-world music campaign [read - idiotic All American Rejects], I was expecting the Scissor Sisters. And another thought - I'm full of them, if you ever need an Aztec zombie movie, for example - does the way the end was posed 'go back in time', when Greg says flashback stories are bad, and that glowing from the island Mata Nui, and the fact that man-Mata Nui was surrounded by clouds, make you think Mata Nui's up on Mata Nui?

Ikki o' Moopyville Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 I'd love to think we was there, too, but alas, Greg has said he's not. -Ikk Quote
Clonie Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 I just came to the conclusion: 2001 is the best year. I love 2001. And it took me all this time to realise it. I laugh at myself sometimes. Quote
Toa Cyclone Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 Aww man I cant see it. It just stops loading is there anywhere else I can see it Quote
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 Yup, right here -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgKlF6Vw5ak -Ikk Quote
hewkii9 Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) Aww man I cant see it. It just stops loading is there anywhere else I can see it And I can send you the avi file if that link goes down too. I just came to the conclusion:2001 is the best year. I love 2001. And it took me all this time to realise it. You silly! I realized that waay back in '06. The future is looking bright, though. Hope Man-Mata Nui is in the CGI. And where did LEGO decide to use Indiana Jones music and the Final Countdown? Edited May 10, 2008 by hewkii9 Quote
Clonie Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 Now, in 2008, I'll find out how Mata Nui is awakened. So I can take the basic method and make it the ending of 2001. It's the short version of the Bionicle story. Awesome. I still like the official story though. Hey, I can have two Bionicle stories. Why not? *sheds tear as he watches the Takua-Vakama beach scene* Forgive me for getting caught up in the moment. Quote
Zarkan Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 Man, when I was watching this movie, I was like "come on, not another recap of everything we already know!" At least until, I saw this: .... Mata Nui! You silly! I realized that waay back in '06. I still can't see why we can't have several favorite years. I love 2001, 2004, and 2007 all equally, but for different reasons. Quote
Wrinkledlion X Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 But if the end of the year and 09 match the hyperbole, then I'll be happy. Did anyone else here notice the Indiana Jones music at the end, right when Mata Nui was introduced? And Europe, too. Last things I had expected for Bionicle, with their last real-world music campaign [read - idiotic All American Rejects], I was expecting the Scissor Sisters. I don't imagine that their final music will be the Indiana Jones theme and Final Countdown... They kind of strike me as placeholders... And another thought - I'm full of them, if you ever need an Aztec zombie movie, for example - does the way the end was posed 'go back in time', when Greg says flashback stories are bad, and that glowing from the island Mata Nui, and the fact that man-Mata Nui was surrounded by clouds, make you think Mata Nui's up on Mata Nui? I like the idea. He has confirmed to me that we "shouldn't be surprised if we see the island Mata Nui in the future." I'm not sure about what "going back in time" means, though... It might refer to the Toa Nuva regaining their memories, because I know they have some flashbacks in the next few books... Quote
Zee toa of sonics Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 am i the only one who notices the hand and body shape coming out of the water in the mata-nui island light scene? -zee :skull: Quote
Wrinkledlion X Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 I don't see it... Do you mean the clouds? Quote
Zee toa of sonics Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 no i mean if you look in the water below the island of mata-nui when the lights shine you will see a body more specifically a hand.off to one side. -zee :skull: Quote
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) He's right! Lookie 'ere! Mata Nui -- the island -- is the head of Mata Nui! And the two sun holes are his eyes! -Ikk Edited May 10, 2008 by Ikki o' Moopyville Quote
Pencoin Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 i wlays belived the bioncile universe was mata nui mata nui being the head metru nui being the brain ( matoran are brain cells if they stop working it affects his helath) karda nui being the heart Quote
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) Well, if the rest of Mata Nui's body is proportionate to what we see, I doubt it covers ALL the Matoran universe... and Karda Nui would be far further down than where any normal heart would be. But still, good points! Now the Bohrok's mission makes sense. EDIT: Actually, you could be right... he COULD cover the entire Domed Universe! -Ikk Edited May 10, 2008 by Ikki o' Moopyville Quote
Pencoin Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 thanks ive had that hunch for quite a while now ive posted it on bzp before but all there kidss on there say im wrong cause Greg says so dont they understand that he will lie to protect the storyline? like he did with maxilos well i least ive got eurobricks Quote
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) He said Makuta wasn't Maxilos, which was true -- he was IN Maxilos. He's a bad writer, not a liar. -Ikk Edited May 10, 2008 by Ikki o' Moopyville Quote
Pencoin Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 nope he did cleary stated the evil intel possesing maxilos wasnt teridax on a side note i dont get bzps spoiler poilcy Quote
Ecto Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 I just straight up asked Greg if that was Mata-Nui's face or head. We'll see what he says. Quote
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 Can't answer it. Those words are more used than "I am your father" -Ikk Quote
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) More proof! Gotta love these pics! -Ikk Edited May 10, 2008 by Ikki o' Moopyville Quote
