I call Gelu "Geh-loo" and I called Lewa "Lee-wuh". I don't like saying them with "Ay" sounds because it just sounds weird to me. :/

As do I. Just pronounce them the way they're spelled.

[Wrinkledlion X]

I pronounce all the original characters' names as they were on the Toa Mata CD-Rom.

Hence, LAY-wuh

[ShaddowCroc]

I remember being so annoyed that they called him that in that CD thing.

(But he was called "Lee-wuh" in the movie.)

I also remember hating how they called him"Loo-wuh" in BIONICLE: The Game. It may have evengivenme a nightmare once . . .

[Kiotu]

Hmm, I pronounce 'Lewa' as 'Loo-uh.' But I say 'Lay Koro.'

Same with Gali and Ga Koro: 'Gal-lee' and 'Gah Koro'

I always pronounced the names without the pointless "AY" sound.

Geh-loo and Leh-wah

[Antrozek]

I just pronunce their names how they're writted :P

[Zaktan of the Shadows]

I'm thinking of buying Mata Nui and Gresh...

But Titan Mata Nui seems like a much more fun build, if not a bit too expensive for me.

[ShaddowCroc]

I pronounce suffixes diffrerently than character names, because I called Le-Koro "Lay Koh-roh" and Ga-Koro "Guh-Koro".

[HumanPackMule]

anyone else realize Metus' name is the Latin word for fear, and Malum's name is the Latin word for apple?

Apples are red. YUM

weird, in my latin book it says that Malum means "Maldad", "Evil" in english

[The Alchemyst]

Malum is both "Apple" and "Evil, misfortune, and other synonyms".

I'm suspecting the latter though, with the latin root mal- much more common as "bad"

Metus is fear, axiety and dread. Interesting.

While browsing my Latin dictionary "Maturo [Mah-too-roh]" meaning to make ripe, lol.

the Latin word for evil is Malus. kinda funny how if you change the gender apple becomes evil

[Kiotu]

Have any of you heard the Latin phrase 'malo 'malo malo malo?' It's a good way for remembering the four Latin 'malo's. The first is the irregular 1st person singular of 'malo, malle' meaning 'I prefer (to be),' the second is ablative for apple tree (malus (masculine) is an apple tree, mala (feminine) is the fruit). The third malo translates as than an evil man/thing (could be either, technically, but it's probably 'man') which comes from the adjective 'malus, -a, -um' meaning 'bad or evil.' The last means 'in adversity.

So from those, I'm pretty sure malum was supposed to mean evil (although neuter) or an evil thing :P

Oh, and 'Fero' is a direct translation for 'I carry, bear'

You are all just looking too much into this. I think they just picked some Latin words that sounded cool for names. Or, it could be since they were trying to think of Roman style names that they actually thought of things that were words.

[Zaktan of the Shadows]

Well it doesn't have to work. For example - Umbra, the Light warrior, means Darkness.

Yea, but in that case, it's so ironic, they must have done it on purpose. But I agree you might be looking in to it too much.

Hydraxon's Tale scans.

That art is awesome. Now imagine the baterra, The Shattering, and the Strakk-Malum fight drawn by the same guy in Graphic Novel #8.

Ummm.... Is anyone else having the problem of only half of each page coming up?

I think i just died and lived again. That was some fantastic artwork- I really can't wait to see the Baterra

[ShaddowCroc]

That was pretty cool. But what's all this talk about Baterra and The Shattering being in the next graphic novel?

[Brickthing]

I absolutely love those sharks and fish, and how the Cordaks actually look like torpedoes.

Interesting that the less detailed Ignika was used when it clearly wasn't relevant to the comic style and current shape of the Ignika. It kind of suggests that the Ignika was actually like that in 2007.

Or that those comics were his only reference. Like Turaga Dume in that one '08 comic...

EDIT: Those sharks have a pretty clever design...
