What was your first reaction to G2. Specifically the different genres of G2. Like what was you first reaction to the original leaks, to the books, or the Netflix series, or G2’s cancellation. What your friends reactions? Etc…
I’ll go first with a couple of my friends reactions to G2.
I have a friend who I got to read the original G1 Bionicle books.
I gave him the first of the G2 books to look at as a joke.
First words out of his mouth, “What happened to the words. There so…big. Why did you buy this?”
“I…I thought it was going to be good…”
Netflix reactions from an eight year old boy.
Kid:“Oh yea, I watched it on Netflix. It was good”
When I first saw the ad format G2 on the back of my November 2014 Lego magazine, I remember looking at it for a second, without recognizing what it was, until I saw the logo in the corner, at which point I yelled OH MY GOD BIONICLE’S ACTUALLY BACK! My family looked at me a little funny.
My other reaction was one morning, I wake up and check the MB, as usual. Then I see the banner at the top of the screen. I wasn’t angry, or sad, I was just in silent disbelief. Kind of a crappy way to start the day.
I was in class looking at my instagram feed, and I saw it posted like a minute ago and I had to bite my jacket to keep from screaming. My teacher asked me wtf I was doing, and I just shook my head. during passing period I looked like an idiot because I screamed into my coat for like the whole time.
-When the initial set image was released (the one that got removed everywhere to protect Highly Suspect) we all thought it was hilariously fake because we thought Onua looked like Piruk and Fire Protector looked like Tanma.
-When the black and white display got released we were more willing to believe, but still incredibly skeptical. Once we talked to Highly Suspect, we were convinced.
-When we got set names, we were very skeptical of their validity due to translations.
-When we got the colored display, we were even more convinced.
-When the mask leaked, we were intrigued.
-When the set pictures leaked, we were ecstatic.
-When it was announced, the group collectively disembarked the hype train and boarded the hype plane. DESTINATION: NYCC.
