Keeping the Storyline in Balance

I wrote an essay.

If you want to give your opinions it´s best that you give them on BZP, as I´m PMing the topic to Greg.

Very, very good essay. Took what I was thinking and made it better, really got into detail and properly criticised and praised the Bionicle storyline. I too couldn't stand anything beyond 2006, more like 2005, even if I lived through them. Send that to Greg and hope for the best though, I doubt he'll have too much to say. But still, having a simpler storyline and something more Lego-Like would be cool. I remember all the times me and my friends (one had Lewa, one had Pohatu and I had Kopaka in Grade 2) had battles because... well, no reason. Having big storylines that are kind of anime-ish annoy the crap out of me. I don't mean anime-ish as in art but if you've ever seen one of those comics... it's just so complicated... not for Bionicle in my opinion. The Lost Island of Mata Nui was really cool, the villagers and all. Me and my friends followed the storyline to an extent as well, Mctoran were the villagers and rahi were giant stones. We also loved MNOLG, me with a serious passion.

I´ve actually been discussing it with him over PM.

And I can stand many things past 2006. I still enjoy BIONICLE greatly, as a matter of fact, but I think there´s always room for improvement.

Great job, sums up all the original fan rantings and gives good solutions.

You had it exactly right about finding the treasures and leaving room to create your own ideas, such as how certain masks were found, which I think is something BIONICLE has lost over the years.

Best of luck in talking with Greg!
