Bionicle General Discussion

[Trijhak]

I've also noticed one flaw with Cendox's backstory:

Agori Can't create things. Just repair things,. Yet it says Crotesius built his cendox from parts won from Tesara and Iconox. And that's creating something.

...

[The Host]

I thought that it was after the Shattering that they couldn't create things...(although I could be wrong). If Crotesius created Cendox prior to the Shattering then I think its okay. Or maybe he just repaired a vehicle incorrectly and came up with Cendox...

[Trijhak]

I thought they were in the core war before the shattering. And it makes it sound like he built it recently.

Though, with all the quotes they've revealed in TLR, I think they've gave the basic plot away:


[spoiler]


Mata Nui lands.
Mata Nui meets Click
Mata Nui saves Ackar's Life.
Mata Nui travels to tajun with Ackar to get a Thornatus.
Mata Nui meets Berix and Kiina in the middle of a Bone Hunter Attack.
Mata Nui helps fight them.
Kiina decides to come along.
Mata Nui travels to tesara.
Vastus and Gresh get caught in an explosion. Gresh and Berix join.
Mata Nui travels to Roxtus.
Mata Nui somehow gives the glatorian elemental powers.
Mata Nui and co. fight Skrall.
Mata Nui defeats Tuma.
The end.

[/spoiler]

(Spoilered just in case it's somehow real)

They've given us way too much info, we basically know what happens now.
Also, here are the release dates for four countries:

UK: August 24 (yay)
USA: September 15
Canada: September 15
Australia: Still TBA

Also, the november comics takes place AFTER the movie. Prequel to 2010, anybody?
Dunno what the September comic will portray... probably the start of the movie.

[The Host]

Eh. I'm not really conscerned with how Cendox was created...

and I went to Walmart today to look for Skopio, and they had 9 of the 11 sets:
6 GL
Kaxium
Baranus
Thornatus

no sign of Skopio or Cendox... and they had no one on staff for the toy section until 6:00 (I went at 4:30). Zellers had no new sets...


EDIT: and now that I've watched the movie previews and the voice acting:

Berix should never talk.
Kiina should not go "Woohoo! Wah hoo!" because it sounds dumb.
Mata Nui and Ackar good, as does Gresh.
Strakk sounds different than I would have thought, and I'm not sure if I like it or not. I do like how he walks though- hunched over and all.
Metus looks and acts pretty cool.

What I don't like is how they fall when defeated. It looks unrealistic. But it is cool how Click becomes Mata Nui's shield.

They are on a different planet. They probably have less gravity than earth, which is why they go flying up into the air.

Kiina should not go "Woohoo! Wah hoo!" because it sounds dumb

Yeah. I think that's the part everybody dislikes.

Berix should never talk

Unless they change the voice.

Mata Nui and Ackar good, as does Gresh

Agreed.

Strakk sounds different than I would have thought, and I'm not sure if I like it or not. I do like how he walks though- hunched over and all.

Would you seriously like his neck be extremeley long, since a metru arm is his neck.

It says by July 24th.

I already have TLR on pre-order anyway.
And it comes out August 24th, so it makes sense that we, the earliest release date, get the premiere.

[Kritzelei]

BZP only posted it yesterday... maybe they don't check the UK site that regularly.
TBD

[Trijhak]

Dude, then you don't undertsand their nws report scheme. Someone repored it too late.

[Kritzelei]

Oh. I don't visit BZP that often anyway. I only go there for the set reviews a pics of new sets really.

[Dudebot5000]

Kiina should not go "Woohoo! Wah hoo!" because it sounds dumb

Berix should never talk

Something tells me that when the movie actually comes out and you match the words to the animations, things suddenly get a lot better. It's like the summer set sneak peaks; first impressions can be wrong. =P

[Ddude The Insane]

Pesonally, i kinda liked Kiina's voice. I think the Woohoos were a bit overdone, but i didn't think it was that bad.

[Trijhak]

Berix sounds like Spongebob. That's bad.

Please, remove the 'wahoos' from the dialogue. Please, LEGO, Universal and Tinseltown.

[The Host]

@DB5000(aka Longname): I don't plan on watching the movie, but I still don't see myself changing my mind about Kiina saying Wahoo... and I don't really picture Bionicle sets talking like kids... Berix sounds so wierd...

Kiina's voice isn't bad, but it just sounds a bit too over excited, and the wahoos really ruin the whole Bionicle-esque atmosphere... IMHO

[Kritzelei]

I think Kiina sounds like she thinks it's all one big game. I won't be watching the film, mainly because of Kiina and Berix's voices.

[Trijhak]

Just because of Voice Acting? Oh wow, real big reason. 

No offense

[Kritzelei]

I get what you mean, but another reason is because, well, the other BIONICLE films weren't exactly brilliant. I might give this one a try though, seeming as it's from a new company. I'm confusing myself now on whether to watch it or not.

[mtmerrick]

before you spend money on it, read the synopsis on BS01 after it comes out.

[Kritzelei]

OK, I will.

Does anyone know when BZP will go back online? Or does this still remain a mystery?

[mtmerrick]

OK, I will.

Does anyone know when BZP will go back online? Or does this still remain a mystery?

dude, its a mystery if it'll EVER come back.
