Each Matoran awakened seperately. Also it needs to be said: the timeline for this movie is kind wack because they didn't know they were gonna make Web of Shadows. I think that's why Essenger cuts it off right there for this part despite the awakening being part of this movie.
Don't forget that Toa Hordika got out the Mask of Light. That happened, this is about the point where Bionicle starts spiralling into big-world worldbuilding
I love how there is a pause after Tony mentions Nidhiki before he mentions Krekka in a confused and bored tone like if he believes that Nidhiki was way more exiting and interesting of a character compared to Krekka
What about the part when they’re looking for the frisbees where one of their small friends tries to screw everyone over because the big green spider guy promised him money or something?
@@essengerbionicle it's literally less than a minute long, I think you can let it be a little longer :3 I mean it's mostly bonkle fans watching these, right? So having some of the more obscure stuff might be interesting

Ngl this one is my favorite purely for nostalgia value. 2005’s movie was the first Bionicle anything I consumed, and watching this movie ad infinitum after school with my sibling at grandma’s is a cherished memory. Glad to see despite how cursed it is almost every single facet of this is accurate. Also “the city’s REAL dictator” got me good lol
Even though these descriptions are marginally less majestic, what is so funny about them is that they're 100% truthful and probably make it a lot easier for most people to understand, even though it sounds funny to hear it described like this if you're a serious Bionicle fan.
As someone who only ever experienced Bionicle from the cereal cd games as a child, it honestly is helping me understand the lore. It's astonishing how much there is!
Once in 2003 Lego decided that kids couldn’t relate to the main characters very well, so bionicle created Guurahk and the rest of the Rahkshi for kids to relate to better, because no kids wear masks that’s something they can’t relate too, but every kid loves their disintegration staff
@@SymbolsWriterA Guurahk was created by Makuta Teridax to seek out the Avohkii and prevent anyone from bearing it. Its search led it, along with a Panrahk and a Lerahk, to Ta-Koro, where it helped in the destruction of the city. It then followed Takua and Jaller to Ko-Wahi, where Kopaka froze it in a lake. After Guurahk, Panrahk and Lerahk were bound in ice, Makuta summoned Vorahk, Kurahk and Turahk to prevent Takua and Jaller from finding the seventh Toa. The Guurahk later managed to escape from the layer of ice and traveled to Kini-Nui, where it was defeated by the Toa Nuva when it was imprisoned inside a block of glass along with Lerahk and Panrahk. It was later disassembled to build the Ussanui.
New from Bionicle: The weed exterminators go underground to get the rest of the city's population and are kidnapped and mutated by spiders with the wrong amount of legs. They are helicoptered to safety by midgets who tell them they need to visit a monk robot. The red one abandons his team and gets captured by one of the leaders of the spiders, who is an inexplicably attractive being who turns him to the dark side. He kidnaps the midgets and is offered a place among the attractive being and a bipedal goat. The other weed exterminators enter the fortress without authorization and the attractive being betrays the bipedal goat by letting the monk robot series finale him. The green one turns the red one back to normal and he promotes the spiders to freedom with a 100% pay decrease. He then blows up the attractive being, setting the dictator free and the monk robot reverses their mutations.
It'd be cool to have "0.5" episodes after the main story's done that covers a lot of the inbetween stuff no one knows about, like Maze of Shadows and stuff.
Apparently the Kanohi Vahi can't let you travel back or forth in time, but can only accelerate or decelerate the passage of time in an area. Does that mean it's not a time machine, or could it still be considered one from its existing abilities?
it still warps time as its intended function (and technically, accelerating the passage of time in an area would count as forward time travel) so I'd say it still qualifies.
I think it's only capable of time travel if the Vahi is physically destroyed, because then time loses all meaning: "Think of it - can you rule a future that is in the past? Or a present that is still a century away? Could you ever be sure of what you've done and what you haven't, when months and years have merged together?" ~ Vakama, Time Trap
The next one should start like: "back in this damn city again because the executives got upset when they found out how much money their Unity assets cost to make"
This movie/set was my introduction to Bionicle. Had gotten Vakama from a toy shop in a mall as a child and even dressed like him for a Halloween. Even saw another kid in the same costume that day.
This reminds of the May the Fourth Be with you videos that used to be on the Lego Star Wars website back in the early 2010s. Good job of making this hilarious.
all of the the evil gas robots live in a cave between the two towns except for the lead rusty slug father, who lives in a different cave that is also a crab bin
2002 in a nutshell: the antibiotics have defeated the brain tumor, but now the mind control bugs are on the loose! The mini-biotics have used corpses of said mind control bugs to build mechs to kill more mind control bugs! Awesome! Now the antibiotics have entered the hive and morphed into penicillin! In the hive they fight the big dinosaur bonkles and save the day!
I remember even as a kid being confused by the Mask of Time. Vakama spent all that time forging the mask, fusing the disks to use as the material. But when he goes to use it, all it does is turn on slow-mo and is basically useless. I guess it’s an original idea to establish a Chekhov’s Gun and when it’s used in the story it ends up not contributing to the story. He didn’t even finish it. It was just an add-on for his mask.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Toa Metru use the Great Disks to defeat the Morbuzakh (the giant weed) before going to the Coliseum to get slandered by Dictator Dume?
@@liammeech3702the plant is actually in the movie for a couple of seconds. But i guess recapping the entire series events of the two books that lead up to the movie would be a bit much for 70 minutes of runtime.

"CURSED Bionicle Lore - PART 6 (2005) NEW FROM BIONICLE Grandpa Vakama was only half done giving us flashbacks to his hometown city where he and his colleagues made the best of a bad situation as Metru Nui crumbled around them. Upon returning to the ancient city to collect the rest of the citizens to bring back to the mysterious island that's somehow above Metru Nui, Grandpa Vakama and friends found the city overrun by giant spiders with venomous fangs that turn you into an ugly beast led by a simp king and his overqualified villainous robo-waifu who's unique one of a kind build temporarily persuaded Grandpa Vakama to go through an edgy phase. The remaining heroes led by infant Rahkshi offspring sought out a special limited edition beast called Keetongu who just so happened to be located deep within the city and also just so happened to have the cure for ugly beast syndrome. Uncle Matau persuaded Grandpa Vakama to stop simping for evil robo-waifu, the king of simps got crushed by Keetongu, and the lesson imparted upon us was to never become a simp for any reason whatsoever now then I sure do hope God is doing alright since we last left him...
I just want to make everyone aware of the parallels between the plot of the D&D movie and Bionicle 2. Especially the coloseum/arena battle. Think about it.
Small inaccuracy here, they first collected the frisbees to kill the tree and then crashed the sports tournament to annoy the dictator with them.
Wish they continued the story i wanted to see what the red stars and the elemental lords were all about

There's gonna be some shenanigans on the road trip from Detroit to FIji and back again
We literally started with the ending clip of Web of Shadows in reverse
So yeah, I feel like we'll be looping back to that framing device.
That’s why the Bionicle 2.5 fancut is the definitive way to watch them
I like to imagine Vakama forgot and a week later was like "Oh yeah this other crazy shit also happened."
Web of Shadows should never have been made -_- we should have seen the Inika, new Toa cycle, moving onwards.
Makuta impersonates the real dictator 😂😂😂
Don't forget that Toa Hordika got out the Mask of Light. That happened, this is about the point where Bionicle starts spiralling into big-world worldbuilding
That's probably going to be the 2005 video.
Right, I feel like he’s either going to STRICTLY stick to the main story, or these videos are about to become MUCH longer
my favorite part of the story was when the toa nuva got their asses ABSOLUTELY HANDED to them by the piraka
"The evil Makuta has been impersonating the city's real dictator" Dume is still a dictator lol
0:42 “…the evil Makuta has been impersonating the city’s real dictator,” is an underrated line
0:40 I love the fact that Dume is still being made out as a villain here lol
I mean... he's not wrong?
Dume wasn't exactly a kind ruler even before the impersonation
The mafia is cannon in Bionicle
These are so darn good
I love how there is a pause after Tony mentions Nidhiki before he mentions Krekka in a confused and bored tone like if he believes that Nidhiki was way more exiting and interesting of a character compared to Krekka
Nidhiki: Has history with one of our heroes and a vendetta for wrongdoings in the past

I believe it was suggwsted in canon that messages can be sent back in time using the mask and thats why vakama has visions

The complete mask of time from G2 allows time travel.
I think the Vahi is able to Time travel, but only beings truly experienced with the mask can use all its to its fullest extent
Holy crap the 'defeats himself long enough' line KILLS me
I just rewatched this movie. They hype up the Mask of Time throughout the story, only for it to do literally nothing and get thrown into the ocean.
When the world needed him most, be returned
Also Hero by All Insane Kids (this song) is an absolute banger
I image this is what it would sound like if Max0r did bionicle lore videos that didn't try to kill every epileptic watching the video.
The next one should start like: "back in this damn city again because the executives got upset when they found out how much money their Unity assets cost to make"
Don't forget the dictator was also the pope. And that the two moons were actually God's eyes

holy shit i found this channel just soon enough to watch this video and i already love everything
I was once a weed exterminator.
This was the best of the Bionicle movies
The plot was definite the best, but hard to convey with the film’s run time. You need a lot of extra info to truly enjoy it.
I love this. You're the best at making the narrator actually funny.
can't believe the cops were only able to capture two black guys and a white dude.
So on Mata Nui they always go underground to fight baddies but in Metru Nui they have to go to the surface.
all of the the evil gas robots live in a cave between the two towns except for the lead rusty slug father, who lives in a different cave that is also a crab bin
You forgot to mention the bit where Makuta put God to sleep
"Makuta absorbs the mafia."
Ive been using these to explain the basic lore of Bionicle to my friends.
My favorite thing about these is they're actually accurate 😂
You got the Morbuzakh boss fight and the Great Disk search the wrong way around, apart from that another 10/10 video would buy each set separately
