Battle With Makuta (Voiced + Remade HQ Audio) [4K]

- čas přidán 6. 07. 2023
- I remastered the legendary cutscene from Mata Nui Online Game and voiced all the characters myself (No AI was used!!) - I've recreated and replaced all of the audio since the original was extremely compressed and low quality.
I was actually able to hunt down a few of the original HQ samples that were used in this to ensure the most accurate recreation. Enjoy! (Headphones recommended ) - Krátké a kreslené filmy
The "you cannot destroy me for I am nothing" hits harder than I remembered!
The most frightening thing, in retrospect, is how surprisingly applicable Teridax's monologue is for various cosmic horrors among various works of fiction beyond Bionicle.
The Reapers?
The Necromorphs and the Brethren Moons?
The Gods of Chaos?
Teridax truly is a timeless symbol of evil itself as a concept - and that makes Him, in my opinion, one of the most terrifying of them all...
_"You cannot destroy me..."_
*_"FOR I AM NOTHING!"_*
@@trumediamix1 bruh we were spoiled af, growing with such a beautiful medium
Oh yeah? Well nothing can defeat me!
Wait… oh s***
Somehow we went from silly bionicle shitposts to some damn good fandub
The guy is talented
A true legend can do both
having had none of the context for bionicles due to starting with the 2nd movie on vhs i cant believe how Hard the writers went for Makuta's speech
Makuta is literally cancer. It's heavy stuff.
@@albertskoften1452that was always Faber’s idea yeah, but the way the MNOLG writers connected it specifically to lego; by having Makuta represent the discordant pile of parts on the floor everything a kid builds will come from and go back to, was a stroke of genuine genius
sad they ruined it a bit
Templar Studios (who made this game) were making this game in New York when 9/11 happened. It drove them go hard on what evil sounded like, and how amorphous and ever-present is it.
You're giving Takua a run for his money as chronicler with epic story re-telling like this! Incredible job!
TAKUUUUUAAAAAAAAAA
"Or the Void." legitimately sent a chill down my spine.
This Makuta voice is unironically so much better than most of the "evil" voices antagonists get these days. It's low pitched, but actually sounds distinguishable and unique, the effects aren't overdone so you can still hear everything clearly. And on top of all that it really evokes the vibe and cadence of Lee Tockar's Makuta.
I always thought Lee Tockar's rendition could have used some more gravel and depth, and Essenger delivered.
Teridax is just the embodiment of all evil. You hear that name and voice you know you’re dealing real evil from the world of Bionicle.
early bionicle lore went so fucking hard dude
I only got into it in ‘06 but going back and revisiting this stuff was so cool, loved seeing them swap out their masks and rely on their powers instead of whatever blaster got tacked onto them that year
Holy hell the voice acting for Makuta is fucking perfect, reminds me of Metroplex a little bit
thanks! some of them lightly referenced the movie voices mixed with what the characters sounded like in my head
@@essengerbionicle that’s pretty much exactly how imagined Tahu sounding ngl
@@essengerbionicle I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Jigsaw yet, that's who your rendition reminds me of
@@essengerbionicle do you plan on dubbing all the animations in the future
@@essengerbionicle the makuta voice is very close to what i envisioned him to sound like, that being the gravemind from halo. excellent work!
Man the fact that we didn't have a movie following these stories is sad. Mask of Light is great but yea, would have loved a pre MoL movie too.
We'll see how things go with the Iliad project
I always wanted to see movie from each set. 1st movie from the toa's arrival to this fight with Makuta. 2nd from invasion of Bohrok swarm to born of Toa Nuva. 3rd about bohrok kal arrival and fight. And 4rd about the Mask of Light. And after that the next movies.
This and the Bohrok swarm storyline were the most interesting, wish there was a show or film about it.
I always love the depiction of makuta being in ancient god of destruction more than the later depictions of him
I know, right? We went from
"The brother to the creator deity Mata Mui, the dark to his light, the yang to his yin, the personification of evil"
to
"HE'S A BIG SKURRY BOSS OF A BROTHERHOOD OF OTHER GUYS ALSO CALLED MAKUTA, EVEN THOUGH HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE MATA NUI'S BROTHER, AND HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE A GODLIKE BEING, *AND* NONE OF THE OTHER DIPSHITS NAMED MAKUTA ARE EVEN RELATED TO HIM, BUT IT ALL TOTALLY MAKES SENSE, TRUST ME BRO".
I mean, the later material expanded the roles and lore of Mata Nui and Makuta quite a bit, so I’m glad they didn’t just stay as “simple good god and evil god” once the story got deeper
Makuta's sind wie Engel im Christentum und der junge ist Makuta terridax (Satanel im Christentum) vom Engel zum Gott (Mata Nui) einfach die Nummer eins der dunklen Seite.
I respectfully disagree. They turned a cliché into some Tolkien-esque stuff.
@MindTheMadness indeed. Makuta is Melkor/Morgoth. The prodigal son who forsook the mission given him by Eru/The Great Beings and attempted to rule all of creation, only for creation to rise up and destroy him.
...except the ending of the Stars Arc actually didn't conclusively kill him in my book. It destroyed his current body, sure, but his antidermis could have gone and possessed a different robot, like, say, Marendar? And perhaps the Toa would have had to kill him for good by detonating a vein of energized protodermis beneath him? Eh? Story fodder?
Dude you voiced all the characters INCLUDING Gali? That's some epic vocal chords there
yeah gali was difficult to do haha. i also put a subtle filter on her voice to make it resonate like in a helmet since her visor mask sounds that way in my head
@@essengerbionicle
Nicely done, she sounded really "natural".
@@essengerbionicleAlright let's see if you can pull off Hahli and be as seductive as she was in Mask of Light
@@akdreamer6497 oh...
@@drawter3592 I need to know
I am still to this day glad that the Mata Nui Online version of what happened at the end of the first arc retconned the last fight. In the very first book all the Toa do is fight the manas crabs, evil copies of themselves then after those sub bosses Makuta doesn't even bother to show up. Needless to say not even getting to see Bionicles final boss is so anticlimatic compared to this banger.
But doesn’t this version of Makuta seem rather out of character in dialogue to his portrayal in Adventures and Legends?
@@emblemblade9245I like the way the is in the books. But MNOG is a decent rendition of what he is capable of to taunt the Toa heroes.
I always got the impression, since, iirc, the books came out after this, that the book left the encounter out to leave room for this. Tale of the Toa ends with Onua remarking that “there is more to come,” which, I at least believe, leaves an open space for this to still have occurred since it was already out there.
The main difference between that and here then would be the battle vs the Manas, whether it’s 2 that they struggle against at first…or many where they fight and struggle just to discover they need to destroy the control towers (making the Manas, imo, more machine than animal). So whichever one prefers then (though I think the book version of that is the “true”? The Shadow Toa part of that isn’t, according to their Story Bible).
Old Terry's monologue gave me chills, incredible work man!
For some reason hearing Makuta Teridax called "Old Terry" just about killed me
At first I thought it was going to be a comedy spin when Tahu said "We have come!" but this is actually what the title says it is. You did a nice job making it high quality.
"Makuta, we have come!"
*_Cyberpunk shitpost stinger_*
Goddamn
Whilst the ignition trilogy was my fave arc by far
I forgot just how AMAZING Makuta's speech was in this
Fantastic job with the voices, bringing it to life even further
Okay, this was awesome, great work with the voices and the audio.
thanks!
I think you nailed Tahu and Kopaka pretty well, and Gali was a surprise, your audio work makes your voice sound passably female as Gali. And I think Makuta's voice is the best. Nice, raspy, the way it echoes when he talks and fades with his final lines...all that's missing is that signature laugh from the movies.
3:16 love how it looks like the green dude sees the other ascend is just shrugging like “alright”
The sound quality is fantastic and the voice acting is top notch! Personally, and I hope you don't mind my saying, I'd have Makuta's initial voice be of that of a child, since he's acting like an innocent, vulnerable Matoran, not unlike when he posed as Dume, he can manipulate voices etc THEN when he transforms, he reveals his true nature, just food for thought 😅
It’s always cool when someone I’m a fan of shares a similar taste in videos to me.
You hit it out of the ballpark with this amazing voice acting. Please continue with the high quality posting.
If it means anything, I would contribute actual money to hear the entirety of MNOG voiced like this 👀
1:08 Kopaka moved his head like he was expecting something from his team, like a reaction, but what they were doing was standing still without a move, listening Makuta's words.
To me this has always been the first thing that comes to mind when I think "evil", this, since I was a child, this has always been my prime and leading example on villainy, putting it in words is unnecessary, it really speaks for itself, nothing else I've seen later has topped this, nothing.
Also I love that one video with the cancelled 2001 pc game ethereal voices is simply legendary, specially since for Makuta they gave him this random twisted noises that change in pitch and god I love it, it's the Toa Kaita voice supposedly.
This is spectacular. I adored original Bionicle and the Mata Nui Online game kept me enthralled for so many playthroughs. I will admit, I miss the higher level of mysticism from the early days where Makuta was an evil (or perhaps misguided) spirit.
100% agree, that's why I love the 2001 storyline so much. A lot of mysticism, and a more simple, tribal athmosphere.
Not everything has to be explained, or have a technological/technical background. I preferred the story before things got retconned and explained to suit into a bigger story. When Mata Nui was really just an island named after a sleeping spirit and not a giant robot's face. When Makuta was the Makuta, not one of many.
@@MrAbgeBrandt Recently caught up on the lore post-Metru Nui (I stopped following at the Visorak), and while I do adore where the story went, I also wish that the "original" lore was more or less what it seemed -- but frankly I don't know if it would have been able to be expanded on very much, so I'm pretty okay with what we got. It was mostly very well written regardless.
your vocal range is SERIOUSLY impressive!
Very cool!
I will say, I always liked how this game was *not* voice acted though. The way the Bionicles gesture as they communicate was so endearing paired with the sounds of their little servos moving, and I like to think that Bionicles don't "speak" with audible voices per say, but rather over short range radio waves/Bluetooth type technology. To me that always added another layer of intrigue and mystery to the world and characters!
To clarify, this voiced edit is incredible! ♥️ Just providing my personal take on the classic game
This is absolutely beautiful and also I love that Makuta was first shown to us as a Matoran of all things, and then turns into essentially a formless evil monster. That is genius
Absolutely incredible! Chills all over. Imagine a fully voiced adaptation of MNOG. It would be like the 2001 movie we never got.
This clip was the highlight of my childhood! Which is kinda sad, if you think about it, but still it's amazingly epic.
I didn't realize this was the Essenger channel. Thought I'd stumbled upon an old Bionicle video. Wow bro you got some creative range.
Think I'm gonna coom.
This was a fun cutscene to see revisited. You did a great job with the audio remaster and all the voices, especially Makuta's.
This has always been my favorite version of Makuta. More of a thing than an actual character, a faceless entity whose existence can never be truly erased.
Goddamn, this one video goes harder than the ENTIRE "Journey to One" Series.
Yah you weren't lying in description, sounds so good with headphones
Good job on this here B0ss
YOOO this is INCREDIBLE - fantastic work bringing this beloved cutscene up to a more modern sound standard!
The Makuta voice is absolutely killer.
This is what I want to do. This is top tier voice acting.
Makuta's voice is so good. It's menacing and gets his iconic speech perfectly.
Holy mother of god this is a supermassive colossal W
This already has become one of my most favorite videos of all time, this is what I am here for, quality Bionicle content. Please keep making outright incredible stuff like this, Essenger, me and your community absolutely love what you do!
Only thing I'd say is I imagined a little more urgency in Kopaka's line, but otherwise this is impressively put together. Good job!
I came expecting a shit post….and I got a blast of nostalgia. This is how I imagined it in my head as a kid. AWESOME work with the voices!!!
Also your voice of Makuta is so creepy and amazing, and it also reminds me a bit of Makuta’s voice from the Mask of Light and Legends of Metru Nui movies which was amazing as well
I love how Makuta was represented as some kind of Evil Entropy in MNOG. It makes him more misterious and complex as a character.
The voices (and any editing done to them) and your acting were spot on! It added so much to the original scene. I especially love Gali's voice and, most of all, Makuta's! Excellent work!
This Makuta voice is everything! And the Gali one!! BTW Essenger, if you ever want to get in touch with Lee Tockar in the future, he seems super cool with fans stuff. Also, he can do the deep Makuta voice without effects. Heard it on an interview on CZcams from the last 1-2 years or so. He can be a bit busy, but he loves speaking to fans. Might even be able to collaborate somehow. Especially once you show that people like Christopher Gaze did so recently.
This is sick as hell - incredible work
It is an unwriten rule that Makuta (Teridax) must have a *deep, menacing, sexy* voice.
We heard that voice from Mask of Light and Legends of Metru Nui before..
This goes hard.
Oh man right in my childhood. Man I miss this game and this music still hits pretty damn hard.
Nice job!
As much as it would've been cool to have an AI recreated the Mask of Light actors, I'm glad you're reserving AI for the shitposts and doing actual acting for the serious stuff.
@essenger this is FANTASTIC. I didn’t realize how cool it would be to hear the characters in this scene until now
This is brilliant stuff, dude
Makuta is basically the Unicron of Bionicle
The nostalgia I felt watching this was unreal.
Your voices for everyone are perfect! Now you got me interested to see the entire game dubbed too.
Not gonna lie, I thought it was gonna be a meme, but DANG you knocked it out of the park with this
Nice voice over of the final battle of Bionicle's first year.
Watching this over 20 years later it becomes exceedingly clear that the people making Bionicle were watching a LOT of anime
I have been watching your vids for a while and I honestly mistook them for an AI vocal impersonation prompt. I'm impressed!
this is some fuckin impressive vocal range holy shit
Absolutely incredible.
I love this scene and you've done it justice! Always the defining moments of Makuta for me.
I know this will be a daunting project, but we gotta see all of MNOG dubbed man. This is just too good.
Back when I played this for the first time as a kid, I thought the Toa just died at the end; sacrificed themselves to fill the nothing and destroy it or somethin
Vakama stating that the Toa achieved their destiny in the end cutscene kinda solidified that
was very confused when they were perfectly fine the next year lol
got chills. great work
Expected a shitpost, instead got a Golden remake. Absolutely fantastic.
This is so good the effort you put into this is just amazing!
You are incredibly talented. I can't wait to see what else you decide to make.
Jeez, this hits so HARD. Amazing stuff!
you actually managed to mimic their voices as they were in Mask of Light... I am amazed...
honestly this entire battle goes so hard. great job on the voices
Incredible.. INCREDIBLE Voice work right there! Good job!
Dude, that was so cool! Top notch quality too!
Omg that's perfect, they sound exactly how I'd envision it
Love your work man! Keep up what you do! Can't wait to hear your track with Cryoshell
Thus has always been my absolute favorite piece of bionicle media. The vibe and tone in MNOG is timeless just dripping with lore and possibilities. The larger than life toa, the tribal and foreign matoran, the wise and distsnt turaga, and this Makuta villain tuat left you guessing if he indeed was actually evil or just a natural entity. We get more of this in MoL where Makuta seems to actually have good intentions but goes about it in a bad way. I feel like that potential for nuance was lost in later years.
YO THIS is intense, I love how you did Makuta.
this is great! i love how the Bionicle fandom is still alive.
This is amazing work
I love your memes, and they're the reason I subbed. I love this just as much, and I cannot wait to see what other projects you have!
Absolutely incredible!
Good job on the voice acting! I really like this voice for Gali!
That was absolutely legendary. Hoping for more friend!
Great work! It brings much nostalgia (i am also glad to have kept this old game)
I never had the chance to play MNOG, but this is awesome. As someone who hadn't seen the original cutscene, you did a great job with everything!
This is a work of art
I'm so jealous of your Gali voice, you have no idea 😭
I'll be honest that was NOT the voice I expected from this channel. Epic work
what did u guess i sounded like
its ok you can roast me
@@essengerbionicle I just pictured a higher pitch, not as deep
@@darkdoubloontv8906 well i sure aint no tony wedgwood
I almost thought this was going to be a meme once I saw your name, but this was awesome.
this goes hard. got chills when makuta goes spaghetti mode and the music kicks in
So cool! I would watch a whole series like this- the voices where awesome 🎉
The awesome voice acting plus hearing all the CRISP AF, not badly compressed sound effects has me yearning for MNOG 1 to be remade with all of that in mind. Fucking stellar! 🤘😄
your memes are already awesome, but HOW IS THIS SO GOOD??? HELLO?????
genuine goosebumps from the voice acting
"The people of the world are builders, but look into their hearts and you will find that they also have the power to destroy.
I am that power.
I am destruction.
And I will destroy you."
Dude, Makuta is an underrated villain.
Soundtrack sounds awesome, love the chanting in it
Holy smokes! This is awesome!
great voice. Even though I think Makuta should have had a normal matoran voice to look more natural
omg the remastered musiccccccc this is soooo goood!!!
Yo I remember when this first went live on tge old Bionicle website and how the fandom wents _nuts_ over it. This very excellent dub brought me right back to those halcyon days.
Essenger really is doing the Great Spirit's work this year.
Holy shit this is incredible. I love little details like Gali having a filter because of her mask. Only complaint is that Makuta is a bit too gravelly imo, but tbh it's accurate to the movies
This was even better than how I imagined it.
