@TrotterNuva

‘Not really as fun.’ Neither is debating something that has no bearing on story or characters.

Your point is…what? We’re not experiencing G3 by debating right now. We’re talking about what G3 should hold.

@TrotterNuva

Fine. Fine. What would you have Pohatu’s Elemental power be?

Iron. I’ve gone into this subject at length, so I’ll just link my thread about elements.

@Spacenid

The reality is ultimately alienating newer fans is inevitable with time.

But we can take countermeasures against it by having G3 be less intricate where complexity doesn’t really add anything but fluff.

@Spacenid

But adding new powers is nowhere NEAR as complex as saaay taken Mata Nui and then going surprise there’s really this city from this other time that was under the island but then there’s this other island with this mask and these two dudes guarding it and it’s inhabited by our citizens but not really because they’re different because this one guy messed them up really bad because his brother…this goes on…

First, nobody is saying G1 was perfect in that regard. It wasn’t, and that’s part of why it had to end. Second, adding a really complicated system of Toa powers adds nothing and serves only as needless complications that stand in the way of easily getting into Bionicle.

@TeslaEffect

You must be fun at parties.

He’s right, though. If any fandom got the rights to their relevant works, all hell would break loose. It would be Sans levels of “bad times.”

@TeslaEffect

And yet nobody complains about Star Wars when it expands its universe…then again that franchise is successful and experiments with different media.

But that’s not necessary to get into the franchise. To get into Star Wars, you need to watch the movies. Nothing more. That’s not hard to get into, and it’s not hard to wrack your brain around.
