@@AlexanderConklin199 Not getting enough views to pay the bills, so I’m trying to find a combo that’ll get more clicks. I spent months on this video, so it’s worth searching for a headline that’ll sell papers.

What is the privated Bionicle video.

JETT! PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER VIDEO ON TRANSFORMERS!ABOUT SMASH BOT OR THE MAINLINE TOYS. I LOVE YOUR CONTENT AND HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD REST OF YOUR YEAR! Bye

​@JettKuso Hey Jett when you and PyrusQueen continue watching the Gen 3 show don't forget to watch episode 5

That’s amazing and I forgot that happened!

It didn’t scare me as a kid, in fact I thought it was freakin rad, but looking back the Rahkshi having their faces split open like a flower to reveal their Kraata was maybe a bit too hardcore for a kid’s movie

scared me. ran out of the room

Wow, that’s new to me and pretty crazy!

I hated the fact that we only got these cut versions, not just with madk of light Basicly all exept Legend Reborn were changed for the german versions even thou i would have loved the full versions The creation of the first 3 rakshi for example were cut but the later 3 werent..... so dumb.... or the small scene after they blasted open the suva at the great temple, they removed the "jumpscare" where the one rakshi stuck its hand up from the hole They also cut the simular scene from the beginning in Web of shadows too WICH WAS MEANT TO BE A MORE CREEPY MOVIE!!! WHY GERMANY? WHY?????

"every single story has to be about romance and a writer isn't allowed to make a world without It"

​@@notmyname4478it is written "you're allowed to write whatever you want, whatever kind of world you want, with whatever content you want. Ask Japan about hentai, there really are no rules. As long as it sells"

To be fair, it would have worked better had they gone back to the stud for the Toa Metru. It's more likely that they just did this to create a more reliable joint for the masks since later releases were going to be less focused on them, and the lore just kinda lined up properly.

​​@@VestedUTuberOn the contrary, it shows just how diminished the Toa Mata and Nuva were compared to the Golden Age Toa and due to the canister degradation.

@@Bionickpunk Except the Toa Metru were weaker, at least initially, but those were the first full team to use axles rather than studs.

​@@VestedUTuberTo also be fair, the axles make them much more MOCable.

@@Draezeth It definitely does, although in most (not all) situations where you would use them like that, you could still use an OG bionicle head as an attachment point. Wouldn't be as secure, though.

The movie designs really upped the anti. The sets were great but as a kid I never expected their faces to rip open when they screamed.

I've come to really enjoy Bionicles as models, cause like... The masks are JUST expressive enough and yet JUST blank enough that you can read so much emotion into them that isn't implicitly there. I'm glad you like it!!

@@JettKuso I totally get what you mean. When putting it like that I even start appreciating the Nuva masks a lot more than I used to. The tohunga/Matoran for me especially feel like they are in an expressive/expressionless middle ground that feels relatable yet alien at the same time, since they don’t have the same transparent eyes as the toa, which I’ve always loved. A lot of people prefer to swap the tohunga heads with mata heads so that they get the same eyes but to me personally I think it kind of ruins the charm of the little guys.

I THOUGHT I RECOGNIZED THAT VOICE

If you're a fan of Death Note, get this: Matsu from Bionicle 2 and 3 is voiced by the English voice actor for Ryuk AND The voice actor for Vakama voiced L!

Silverbolt and Waspinator too! If any of the four are on screen together, there’s a chance for the man to start talking to himself lol

And Jaller is MegaMan.EXE.

Guess they will just have to Move Along Move Along

@@anamethename3327 Just to make it through!

I am very confused, and i grew up with Bionicles 20 years ago, hell, i only found out there are comics and online games like a year or two ago, we didn't really get any Bionicle commercials on TV in Iceland back then and i lived in the middle of nowhere so there were no toy stores near me

@@D34thGr1mR3 whatever you do, avoid spoilers as much as possible and get yourself caught up. At minimum with the comics and movies, there is other stuff as well though.

I like how this can be understood as either Hahli fighting Rakshi with a kohlii stick, or her and Macku playing kohlii in the Rakshi league, against antidermis mechs twice their size.

Today I Learned!

You just did

All of his Bionicle movie soundtracks are certified classics. I love how he keeps the main theme motif thought all three movies, but altering it to fit the new setting and atmosphere.

He didn't need to go so hard, but we are _so_ glad he did.

He was the perfect man for job: there at the right time, doing the exact right thing.

And then it got recently released on Spotify too!

Didn't they give up on the game side of ninjago like immediately after the first wave though? It seems more like it's a reoccurring theme of lego really really wanting to include game systems in there story series and then having to exclude them when that's not the reason people are getting them lmao. I could be wrong though

@@voidaspects9173 no Lego brought the spinjitzu mechanic to the toys quite a few times. There were the original top spinners, the ones that like burst open, and the flying ones, those are all the ones i can really remember. Lego also had a sports line in 2000 that involved mechanical or spring loaded toy mechanics with Basketball, Football/Soccer, and Hockey (which even used Bionicle parts in it, look them up they're...interesting). Not to mention the Lego board games they released in the early 2010's, so yeah Lego really has an obsession with game style play features, there's definitely way more i just can't remember

"Do you know... what it takes to be a heeeroo!'

King.

It was Voriki.

He’s eighth now,written in Toa Alliance Chronic Datalogs.

Mata-nui, I was not prepared for what KZfaq translated that as!

Not so much a joke at that... we got a large number of trans-representation in Bionicle... ...trans-Orange, trans-Green, trans-Blue...

This is EXACTLY the goal. Well said, and thank you!!

Your skills of observation are strong… I definitely intend to continue. This will not dissuade me. Some of the Bionicle years are simply less grabby to the nostalgia, it seems. Makes sense since 2003 was one of the weaker toy years, and I don’t really have a ‘movie video watcher’ demographic.

@@JettKuso TBH, I never really jived with this movie either. As a kid it was cool to see Bionicle get the movie treatment but compared to the online games it felt a little hollow to me at the time. With hindsight, it's a good adaptation of the world and the characters, but the sequel was when I truly got hooked into the mythos. While I love the Mata-Nui stuff, the storytelling remained vague enough that it felt like marketing dressed up as worldbuilding (because it kind of was), but the Metru-Nui arc changes the course of Bionicle completely. Even past the point that I was buying the toys, I was still invested in the story because of the seeds that were planted during the Metru-Nui arc. I'm super happy to hear you're continuing with this video series because the next line is where things really start to heat up, both in terms of the sets and the storytelling. Sure, it begins the trend towards Bionicles being action figures foremost and some of the Lego Technic elements get lost in the shuffle, but it also opened the door to a level of characterization in the builds that hadn't been seen yet. The Dark Hunters particularly stand out to me. Nidhiki's design in both his set and the movie are just superb. It helps that there's so much supplementary story material, so that the design looks cool at first but then becomes tragic and horrifying for any kid who was staying up to date on the lore. I'm really looking forward to the next video! If I had one wish, it would be that you take into account the accompanying book series. It may be a lot to read through, but they are pretty short and they fill out a lot of the story. If you're too busy or not interested that's very understandable, but I hope you at least give "Time Trap" a go. It's easily the best of the books and it covers some of the most pivotal events, not only in this arc, but in the entire Bionicle series as a whole.

Just like Mephistopheles.

False, he said mata nui was his brother

@@reptile1687 mata nui and makuta considered each other brothers. As such it's not false.

@@zebjensen4251 yeah watch callonlofs “greg logic 2” and youll understand how bullcrap that is

@@zebjensen4251 "He's adopted." -Thor

Makuta, first elbows in Bionicle.

But how did he keep the ceiling from collapsing on us too???

He probably wore them off quickly from all that island trekking. Would too if I had to walk the entire length of a Denmark sized island. Thankfully some Ga Matoran were gracious enough to give him new shoes.

You can do it, Crossy. I believe in you. - Mata Nui

You know me… always different!

The fact that Takua already was said to be subconsciously changing his colors to fit in makes this fit even more-he couldn't keep straight what color his feet were "supposed" to be 😂

Hope he gets to do 2004 for it's 20th anniversary this year.

I’d love it if you’d share it around to help people find it

I hope you’ll enjoy the other two!

Yep Mask Of Light is kinda about is about being a kid afraid to grow up, and the second film is more about being an adult when you don't feel ready

I wanted to include some of the LOTR parallels in this, but didn’t have enough space in the end. You’re absolutely right!

Could say the same with Web of Shadows having parallels with Revenge of the Sith, at least the Vakama and Matau interactions, Vakama representing Anakin.

YEAHHH BUDDYYYYY

@@JettKuso 👍

That green 5 on that Lloyd's hoodie was clever foreshadowing
