TJTO Universe: (After the Toa Uniter Sacrificed) Meanwhile in Metru Nui (All Toa Metru combine the powers from Another Makuta) (Toa send up to the stars) Vakama: Look! Six Spirit Stars! Nuju: The Great Spirit proclaims it! We are Toa!

Yeah, as sympathetic as I was to G2's story potential, its execution has A LOT to be desired. At least it gave reviewers like yourself some material to work with, (as well as giving me inspiration to write a sequel which hopefully is better). The review is pretty decent, and I think it should get more attention. Best wishes for the future. Take care.

I think what they could have done is tease connections to gen 1 underneath the surface, but made it vague enough to where it could be it's own separate universe if it was strong enough. Since all I saw the hype for it being was how does it connect to gen 1. I heard a rumor saying that the Lego team feared the story was too confusing and complex to get into which is why they did soft reboots in 2004 and again in 2009 which I can agree with for the times, but there is no need anymore. In this age of streaming anyone can look up the info they need in a very time efficient manner. I mean, look at what we are doing now.

G2 has some of my favorite sets, and is what got me back into Bionicle as an adult; so it always has a soft spot in my heart. But the story is unfortunately a pale shadow of the original. Great if you want to create original characters and story, since the canon is so bare its hard to break anything in it unlike G1 though. Example, I saw a several comment long debate after somebody on Facebook recently created a Mahri-Toran style MOC but said they wanted it to be a Metru-Toran, and people chewed them out saying "that breaks the canon." G2 is a much better blank slate for MOCists in that regard to create whatever they want as long as its vaguely Bionicle, and since I love the CCBS system's durability and simplicity I personally have more G2 MOCs than I have G2 official sets at this point.

One thing I did like is pohatu being the main character in the show. So many times the toa of stone aka po gets overlooked by the more colorful counterparts, doing this would make people want to buy him and possibly the other stone related sets

As underwhelming as the lore and story was for G2 the sets themselves were amazing, they probably are objectively the best quality, best value for money Bionicle sets ever released, I think the only G1 sets to ever really come close were the Toa Mata and Toa Metru

This video deserves way more attention, great review!

I will respectfully disagree with you on the first three episodes of JtO. After the second episode I struggled to put on the next because I thought it was straight up the worst piece of TV I'd ever seen in my life. I know it's for kids, but that's no excuse to have such an awkward pace and bad writing. I felt that the characters only ever talked at each other and not to each other which really made it hard for me to care or even follow it half the time, the dumb voice filters made it impossible to tell who was speaking half the time, and the world just felt so empty and lifeless. I really can't imagine finding it particularly enjoyable even at a young age. Don't get me wrong, the last episode was definitely worse than the first three, but as a whole I found the show completely void of any entertainment value :(

also half the time i couldn't find gen2 sets and the ones that i did find were insainly more expensive than g1 sets of the same size.

As much as I love g2, it was a prime example of wasted potential. 2015's story in the summer should've had SOME struggles with the skull villains and not getting 1 shotted. 2016 was fine. 2017 could've happened two ways: 1. Makuta(Gali too) leaves the shadow realm, brings Okoto to the brink of destruction, Toa get another upgrade to beat Makuta. 2. The toa, Ekimu, and the creatures enter the shadow realm to not only rescue Gali but gang up on Makuta and save the Island. Like I said earlier, I don't want to see the main villain of this line to be one shotted like he was nothing, let there be a struggle between the two forces. Despite it's many flaws, I still love g2 just as much as g1.

oh g2 my favorite

I honestly feel like G2 was made _just_ to end Bionicle so other stuff could be focused on.

They retconned Takanuva? Thanks, but no thanks…I’ll stick with the original trilogy and use my imagination for any future storylines.

It is disappointing that Bionicle G2 failed but I'm just glad we got it in the first place.

4:00 The Protectors were given names later on.

I believe that Faber's take on Bionicle will be good

I hate nameless masks of power in g2. I hate simplified terminology. I hate G2 story. I hate arrogant fanboys who defend G2 and say its superior compared to G1. I hate G2 characters. I hate G2 marketing. I hate nameless villains. I hate G2 prices. I hate 2015 animations. I hate JTO. I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT G2.

After the Journey to One. Begin the Generation 1 of Bionicle. The real reason... BIONICLE G2 IS THE FIRST PREQUEL TO THE G1!!!!
