Yeah, I…
…Never said they did.
This feels like a red herring. I’m saying a possible reason for the focus being shifted from Macku to Hahli after 2001 might’ve been the movie, and the movie might’ve switched them because of the name being less of a hassle.
This wasn’t a LEGO decision (if it was a decision at all), it was a theoretical decision which could’ve been made by either management at Create TV & Film or producers at Creative Capers. And even if it was, the Maori lawsuit had nothing to do with it.
Ok.
My point was that has nothing to do with the argument. You seeing it in german means there was a german dub, not that the film wasn’t produced in english.
This one is the evil pun topic
Unlikely, sure. But possible.
Also, as I said a couple posts ago, equally possible (and more likely) any potentially proposed concept to have macku instead of Hahli would’ve been axed due to increasingly obvious similarity between the pronunciation of Macku and the Pronunciation of Makuta.

You’ve been ignoring that point thus far.
Granted, I’m not arguing that this absolutely occurred this way - just that it may have. If you reread the topic, this isn’t solely about the movie, but why Macku was nudged out of the spotlight as a whole (and also mask debacles).
Straw man fallacy. I never actually said or implied this, only that America - being a giant demographic - was likely to be the focus of their attention when it came to marketing, plot, script, etc. and not, as an example I listed, Israel.
Here’s that box set btw:
It comes with Mask of Light and Legends of Metru Nui, as obviously indicated on the cover, which also has Hebrew script. I’d like to get my hands on one for collector’s purposes.
That - again - has nothing to do with it.
I would make some comment about the good old days where Bionicle community members didn’t ignore an entire topic just to prove one person wrong and taking a stab at profile pictures (thank you for admiring it btw) but it’s actually been worse in the past, so…
Hopefully you’ll be willing to reread my posts where I started things off with suggestions of how it could’ve occurred, and notice the transition from “how likely could it be” to “how many ways can it be wrong”, and give my argument some amount of grace because I, like all the others here, am just a fan taking stabs at explaining something I could not witness and am trying to offer a potential solution.
If not, I think we’re done.
