-(I Hope that You still answer...)

-Well, I'm a HUGE Bionicle fan! So I have some questions:

 

1-How big is Spherus Magna? 

the moons and the matoran universe make me think that is huge, But... Can you give us more information?

 

2-The Matoran Universe Islands Were destrolled?!

Well, we know that Mata-Nui and Voya-Nui are destrolled, But... What about the rest of the Islands? I don't know If you explained that with the serials, But... If they had a kind of "gravity generator" and survived the rise of it, then Makuta could have destrolled them. And if no, Then th fall would have killed them... So... They are death?

 

3-(Optional): Why love isn't canon?

the universe feels incomplete Witout it... Why you decannoniced it?

@ MR_cg concerning question three: I don't know that Greg will necessarily give the same the same answer, but the reason that love was decanonized for the MU inhabitants such as the Matoran was probably because in the real world love has a lot to do with family, especially the love between a husband and wife that leads to them giving birth to beloved children; but this is not so for the Matoran: the way that they grow their population is by using a machine that makes more of them, like a manufacturing plant, and as of such, the ability to have children has no place for them, and neither does the marriage union have place for them, and since the end goal of a relationship between a boyfriend and girlfriend is marriage (if it doesn't end in a breakup), romantic love and couples relationships cannot exist, and the closest thing to love might be the brotherhood (or sisterhood) between fellow Toa (is "siblinghood" a word?): simple and plain as that. (I think... I guess we'll just have to find out for sure in Greg "Awesome" Farshtey's reply...Thinking)

Hello Mr Greg 

 

1. Why the MU has its own space-time continuum? 

 

2. If one of the Elemental Lords dies his elements is also going to die?

 

3. After the death of Teridax, The Dark Hunters still exist or it is dismantled since that their leader is hiding somewhere on Spherus Magna? 

 

4. Why the Makuta of Karda Nui had difficulty to defeat the Toa Nuva? Normally, Only one Makuta could have easily defeat the Nuva. 

 

5. Who created the spear of the fusion?

Dear Mr. Farsthey:

 

i'm just curious, why don't you just give us everything? because we all know that gen 2 has nothing to do with gen 1 and gen 1 will probably not return. so why don't you just give us all the answers at once?

Not involved in G2., so I don't know.

1) I don't have this information.

2) All of the Mata Nui robot has been dismantled, yes.

3) I have discussed this so many times that I really don't see the point in going into it again. The people who desperately wanted romantic love got it in 2009, since it is possible among the Glatorian and Agori.

Well, there are some people who would like that. There are also many who would not, because they feel it robs them of the ability to create their own versions of the answers in their fan fiction. Also, frankly, if you get every single detail explained it robs the original BIONICLE of some of its mystique. I think people would just get bored if they knew every answer to every question.

1) I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. If you're talking about why, for example, the Mask of Life wouldn't end life in the universe beyond the MU ... why would you build something that could do that and then stick it in a robot?

2) No

3) Yes, they do still exist

4) Except that, as I have always said, battles have variables. For one thing, Teridax did not want the Toa defeated, because he needed them to open the Codrex. If Mata Nui never got awakened, how could Teridax take over the robot?

5) The Great Beings, I would assume

Do you ever feel that Ninjago has strayed too far from the original story? 


In what way? The original story was a team of young ninja fighting evil. It's still about that, it's just a bigger team now. The story was going to have to change in some way because if you just keep doing the same thing year in, year out, people get bored. That's why original BIONICLE almost got cancelled in 2003 -- the repetition was doing it in.


I feel like the inclusion of a highly advanced technological world makes the ninja seem...outdated. After all, if they have the ability to make laser guns an hover cars in Rebooted, then they probably had projectile weapons fed with cartridges made up of gunpowder and bullets when the original arc was in progress. This makes the story not add up.

I disagree. Batman exists in a world where there are not only projectile and laser weapons, but also all sorts of super-villains with futuristic tech -- and he's not outdated. And he doesn't have access to Spinjitzu, Airjitzu, and elemental powers. The fact that guns or lasers exist in a certain universe does not mean heroes have to be using them or that heroes who don't use them are somehow the lesser for it.

Perhaps, yet their use of swords makes them vulnerable to gun users, and no villians use the guns. After all, in batman, the villians use guns, and swords aren't very common, yet in ninjago, swords are the norm, and we never see one gun, only some eye lasers (like X-Men! Joking). I know it's a bit nitpicky of me, but I am a bit of a weapons strategy/ history nerd Joking

 

I just feel that the inclusion of the advanced tech disrupts the story, because it's not a group of ninja, sometimes growing, in ancient asia, it's a group of ninja, sometimes growing, in 2349.

No idea. I "consulted" on G2 for a short while (which means I read the story bible and gave some feedback), but I had nothing to do with the story in any way, before or since release. So no idea why they are mentioning me at all.

Couple things:

 

1) Actually, Flintlocke's main weapon this year was his gun. But LEGO as a whole is not real big on showing characters firing real guns, because that's offensive to people in a lot of our markets. The exception to that is licensed properties, where that may be a part of the story.

2) NINJAGO was never meant to be set in "ancient Asia" or its equivalent. What you were seeing in the early years were rural areas. After the first few years, the action moved toward NINJAGO City, so tech was more evident. But I can point to a number of comic characters who rely on swords or knives and don't use guns at all. Also, I don't consider a character who can melt or freeze someone's gun as being "vulnerable" to it. Remember, you're essentially talking about super-powered characters here ... if I can create a tornado of fire whenever I want, your gun really isn't going to bother me much.
