My biggest problem with the Red Star reveal actually isn’t the “oh it makes death meaningless” bit, but rather how greg made the requirements for getting revived on it so inanely pedantic. It’s like “Oh, Sidorak got crushed by Keetongu so badly that he couldn’t be revived” or “Oh, the Toa Mangai got killed by Eliminator, who I just retconned to be able to kill people so hard that they can’t be revived” or “Oh the Makuta were made from antidermis so they can’t be revived” or “Oops, this character died outside the giant robot so they’re out of range of being revived”.

Like seriously greg, you already opened the “characters can get brought back from the dead” floodgate, now you’re just being an “um actually” guy

#bionicle #like there are several characters who it would be very interesting to meet in this sort of 'visiting the afterlife" story #but greg just throws them out and gives us several c listers that nobody actually cares about #and retcons that Nocturn died offscreen just so that we could have somebody who actually has a set there #Like Lhikan is really the only interesting red star inhabitant #and that's because his legacy impacts so much of the main story #yet most of the people his legacy lives on in don't even know him #so having the nuva the mahri or even the matoran of Mata Nui interact with him is an interaction gold mine #heck even the turaga meeting up with him again after so long is super interesting
