I enjoyed Snapcube’s stream of Web of Shadows

[medusamagic]

Oh, so you met a strange, tall, broad-shouldered woman who took you under her wing, tied you up, injected you with hormones that changed your body, and made you howl for her?

*wiping sweat off my brow* That sounds like an absolute nightmare.

I was NOT ready for Spider-Man 2 to turn into Web of Shadows meets King in Black for the last 2 hours or so

[alastheswarmleaderhasescaped]

Deeply appreciate the Web Of Shadows novelisation for turning the movie-necessitated exposition into Vakama being even more of an obnoxious ass

Sometimes the book adaptation of the bionicle movies are funnier than the film

The spider gang confronts Y/N the Black Suit Spider…

Gwen: this isn’t you

Miles: come on man! That suit is killing you

Y/N: you’re not my Gwen…this suit is the only thing keeping me going

Peter B: guys I know a standard villain monologue. We gotta go

Various symbiotes surround the gang…

Gwen: time to go!

The gang disappear thru a portal…

Ruby: What's wrong? You don't like my new outfit?

Blake: One, you smell like death. Two, you joined up with a bunch of murderers and psychopaths. And three, you look like one of those emo kids on the dust-net whining about pain when they don't know the first thing about what it REALLY is.

Ruby: Wait... Do you have a My-Place page?

Blake: Shut up.

Ruby: Oh my god! You do! You do, don't you, you dork!

Blake: I do not.

Ruby: Hey! Hey! Will you add me to your friend's list? You prod me and I'll prod ypu back~!

Blake: I SAID SHUT UP!

Recasting the Hordika

There are a few exceptional contributions of 2005 to Bionicle lore (looking at you, Roodaka), but I am among those who think it has problems: the Hordika, Rahaga, and Visorak were all VERY repetitive, there were no new Kanohi, and I don’t like rhotuka spinners.

But the real problem, for me, is that the story was somewhat reduntant, given the end of LOMN.

I think what LEGO should have done (well, could have done... "should" implies an objective standard here), would have been to have the Nuva be the ones get Hordikified.

Make 2005 about the return to Metru Nui--which is a wasteland overrun by Visorak, ruled by a simple king whose takeover (rather than conquered) an abandoned city. With him is an agent of the Brotherhood of Makuta (undercover): Roodaka, who was ordered to stay in the city after she rescued Makuta from the protodermis seal, many, many years ago. When the Visorak invaded, she offered false allegiance to their king, so that she could remain in place.

So when the Toa Nuva go scouting ahead, THEY'RE ones who get turned to Hordika. Things proceed as in WOS, but the goal changes a bit: instead of it being to finish the job of rescuing the Matoran, it's about making it safe to bring them back.

I think this also makes Keetongu--and the Rahaga (if you keep them: you could replace the Rahaga with Hordikified Turaga Metru)--make a little more sense. There wasn't really any preparation for either of them in 2004's Metru Nui, but it's easy to imagine cryptids and weird little wise guys settling in the ruins of the abandoned city either alongside or before the Visorak.

Roodaka's motivation becomes a bit clearer, I think: she knows where Makuta went after she freed.him and she's been waiting for news ever since--and now these Toa show up from that very direction--so OF COURSE she wants them alive (to talk) and captured. It doesn't have to be Tahu who "falls" and gets seduced, though he is both The Obvious One and The Red One, but he plays the role of angry leader who'd like to just have an army that obeyed orders, damnit, far better than Vakama.

And does this change the rest of Bionicle all that much? Not really, I think. Maybe if you excise the Rahaga as a result... I think it definitely means Dume is dead, but that's tidier storytelling anyway.

And, the most important part: if you don't leave Takanuva behind to hold open the gate/guard the Matoran/whatever, you can have a Hordika of Light: aka the shiniest unicorn.

enough time has passed

[screaming-for-eternally]

Can I just talk about how much I love Matau's character arc in Web of Shadows? I mean he's an asshole to Vakama of course, which is a major reason for Vakama turning to the dark side. And this isn't lost on him. So what does Matau do? Decide to go and make things right himself by confronting Vakama directly and manages to successfully turn him away from his edgelord phase Brilliant

[bionicle-ramblings]

I don't know where to find it, but I heard there was a deleted scene for Web of Shadows, where when Vakama tells the Visorak they're free, they just round on Roodaka and tear her apart with Vakama watching it, terrified

I heard it, I don't know where to find it, and it's not on YouTube and I don't know where it is in the Bionicle Biomedia project

Idk, I never checked for it on the DVD and I wish I did because as much as I like seeing Roodaka being taken away by the Makuta/Teridax shadow hand, imagining her being attacked by the ones she enslaved would have been pretty satisfying

Anyway, that's how that conversation went, right?
