That is some bad writing.... The originals will always be my favorite Toa. They intoduced the theme, and were, in my opinion, the Toa with the most developed characters. After BIONICLE revealed the whole 'thousands of Toa' thing, I got really ticked off. In the beginning, the Toa Nuva were like demigods, the story was simple, yet epic, and it all took place on a paradise island given to the Matoran by Mata-Nui.
Then, it turns out that EVERYONE in the whole universe is or was a Toa, and the whole 'legendary heroes' thing just was spoiled. The story got WAY out of hand, and suddenly Mata-Nui didn't give the Matoran the island, but they found it after Metru Nui was destroyed. BS! The GregF storyline totally contradicts almost everything the original MNOLG established. Where's Makuta? Who cares about the Bahrag, bring back the best Toa (Kopaka, Tahu, Lewa, etc). Our favorite Matoran (from MNOLG) are now, IMO, lame 'Toa,' and the whole Mask of Life thing honestly needs to end.
Sorry if I sound harsh, but I just needed to get all that off my chest.
