There’s a big difference between mystery and poorly described story. Mystery is when you have something open to interpretation, that leaves people free to speculate and create their own answers. Poorly detailed story is when there are questions that make the story seem to make no sense, and you have to guess at an answer for the story to make a grain of sense. Questions like: why can’t the Protectors use the MoT against the Skull Spiders? Do the Toa have elemental powers with their original masks? If the Protectors have elemental powers, why do they need the Toa?
There’s a difference between a mystery and a poorly defined story. Bionicle G2 is a poorly defined story in every way.
Thank you. I was trying to think of a good example of mystery.
And that makes it a useless weapon how…?
I see your point and counter with: why didn’t he just use his own elemental power?
Let’s see, in 01 we had
Power sets for all the Toa and the Turaga.
A backstory given for our villains.
A main villain who was actually mysterious and not poorly defined, who had motives clear enough to make sense but just mysterious enough to be, well, mysterious.
With 2015 coming to an end I can say with out a doubt Bionicle 2015 was lackluster and I agree 01 was so much better in all aways and I can say that without the nostalgic stuff getting in the way of my views.
“A long time ago, on the mythical island of Okoto, all lived in harmony.It was a place of wonders and beautiful landscapes. From the island’s elemental forces, two brothers, known as the Mask Makers, created Masks of Power. Each brother had a special mask: Makuta owned the Mask of Control and Ekimu the Mask of Creation. The brothers provided the islanders with many masks but Ekimu’s were the most treasured. His brother became envious and forged an evil plan. It was a sacred law that a mask could not contain the power of more than one element, otherwise it would become too strong, or dangerous. But Makuta wanted to create the strongest mask of all time, The Mask of Ultimate Power. When Makuta put it on, it took control over him, and the island began to shake and crumble, realizing what his brother had done, Ekimu knocked the mask from Makuta’s face. A shockwave, rolled across the land, sending both brothers into and endless sleep. The masks were scattered all over the island, waiting for a time when someone would come looking for them.”
