Velika as evil as Makuta?

LEGO BIONICLE
1

We all know pretty well who our main generic bad guy is and what his goals were. Taking over the Matoran Universe AND the real universe itself, enslaving billions of other species. But he died before his dreams came true.

I’m now referring to another creature, someone which is as dangerous, if not even worse than Makuta. I’m talking about the Great Being, Velika.
Velika managed to fool the Matoran for more than 100000 years that he is just a regular Matoran. But after Makuta’s defeat, Velika’s plan is now in play. Velika killed already 2 powerful beings, which Makuta never managed to do or never had the intention to. Velika is quite a professional assassin, and let’s not forget that he has the power to create other beings. The Baterra are one of the Great Beings creations, and their purpose? Destroy any armed Glatorian/Agori without hesitation. Velika is surely capable of creating such things.

His motives? Rule over Spherus Magna. Nothing really new compared to Makuta, but it is nowhere written that he will stop there(and sadly, nothing has been written since Greg stopped writing new stories about Spherus Magna). Stopping Velika proves to be much more difficult I guess than Makuta, even if Velika isn’t invincible, but he is surely inpredictable and can easily change his body, remaining hidden while executing his plans.

He did hesitate about sacrificing needlessly Lewa to destroy powerful beings like Arthaka and Tuyet. Since the story didn’t tell about the execution of Velika’s plan to kill his insane brother and the powerful beings inside the fortress, I can’t tell more about.

Velika, as a Matoran, did help the Toa Inika during their quest, but like Makuta, it was for his own plan.

What do you think? Is Velika like a kitten compared to Teridax, or is he as mad as Makuta?

I don’t think so. If I remember correctly, Velika doesn’t know that Lewa left the fortress. Lewa encountered some tribesmen, but I don’t know more about that.

Lewa encountered the Bota Magna Jungle Agori. Thanks to the shields around the Bota Magna Tower, Lewa wasn’t effected by whatever Mata Nui did to allow the MU inhabitants to speak Agori, and his attempts to communicate with them apparently made them mad. Later, Velika sees them “drag off” Lewa. And according to his thoughts, Lewa and the other Nuva WOULD die, but after they had fulfilled their role in his plan.

Thanks for clarifying things. But does that also mean that Lewa won’t be able to speak with any Agori, unlike the other Toa Nuva?

I think that a Great Being on a big murderous quest for poaaaAAAAH power is much more dangerous than Makuta…
I wish Greg had finished the serials. Oh well.
Wait a sec, Velika is Brown and awkwardly constructed…
You know who else is Brown and awkwardly constructed?
Ketar…
Ketar United with Umarak in JTO, but it seemed like it was against his will…
But was it!?
Perhaps G1 AND G2 ARE CONNECTED, AND KETAR IS VELIKA’S NEW FORM?
Maybe Ketar was secretly against the Toa all along! Pohatu was the only one who suspected him of anything, but did the other Toa listen? Noooo…
And then, G2 was cancelled.
Guys, we now know why G2 was cancelled. It was Ketar all along…

Also, while the Toa sacrificed themselves, Ketar, or should I say Velika, stayed in the city. Perhaps he enslaved everyone there?

I don’t know, Velika seemed like more of a spectator than a power-hugery ruler. If he were to rule spherus magna, it would be by slowly influencing certain things, letting the people think they are in control. The best puppet dances with invisible strings.

He’s kinda more of a mafia kind of dude than a Makuta style ruler.
But I still think he’s bad.

No.

I’m rather certain that Velika’s either crazy and/or has good motives. It seems like he’s eliminating the most powerful, hence dangerous, beings on spherus magna- likely to make it a much more stable place for the people he cares about(the Matoran specifically, though likely other relatively peaceful races as well). He’s effectively performing cleanup for the mess he made in giving everyone sentience; now he probably feels responsible for all the horrible and dangerous creatures that were created as a result of his experiment and needs to make it up to the people whose lives they’ve affected. Remember, he witnessed first hand what the Piraka did to Voya Nui, and they’re(debateably)not even the worst of the bunch.

I don’t think I’d call that “evil”, like I would a megalomaniacal tyrant that wouldn’t hesitate to enslave an entire world of people nor to destroy another.

I donno, I see Velika as a hero, Velika saved Mata Nui in the core universe. How? Well, let’s look at the Kingdom. where Mata Nui died, here Velika is found to be a Toa but Greg has said on the CwGF on the Lego MB that the matoran being used bu Velika cannot be transformed into a Toa while he possesses it, most likely due to GBs not containing Toa energy.

This means that the Kingdom universe’s Velika was the real Velika, the Po-Matoran, not the Great Being. It also means that the name ‘Velika’ had already been assignef to the Matoran.

The Great Being Velika (which is NOT his real name) must have been on the Southern Continent seeing as the cultural evolution of the MU was close to same.

Now how is Velika a hero? Well, Velika being switched up is the only diffrence I can see that effects the mission of the Inika/Mahri. So, he saved MN by chosing the right Matoran.

Sorry if something is messed up, I was tired will writing thid

Kind of,yeah, he’s a pretty shady character overall, he didn’t do anything like Makuta but you have to wonder what he was doing in the first place.

I honestly see him like Rás al Ghul.
He does crazy bad stuff “for the greater good”. But to a far lesser extent.

The Kingdom is sure messed up. Good point there.

He’s not really as evil, but certainly much more dangerous.

That’s like saying your food is warm because it has cheese.

They are likely unrelated facts.

Any number of variables could lead to Mata-Nui’s death and it is unlikely chosing the brown matoran versus the green one had a major effect.

Wasn’t the difference simply Matoro just hesitated in reviving mata nui? The way that the multiverse theory works is that when you are faced with a decision (which can be as small as deciding to move your hand, or not moving your hand) you create new multiverse. One that you are in now and others where every other possible decision happened instead of the one you chose. Matoro not sacrificing himself to save mata nui in the kingdom could be as simple as him deciding not to sacrifice his life, or deciding to do so to late. There could be other differences earlier in that universe that caused a butterfly effect but I don’t think a GB secretly possessing a po-matoran would effect matoro’s decision.

This why we need the get on change.com and get LEGO to give us the rights to one of their biggest franchises and hand it over to a mob of crazed fans to make all of our fanfiction canon! The VelikaxDalu story line will be complete and Velika will know true love. <3

Nah, Dalu and Balta is better, for the simple fact that I always, and I say ALWAYS ship fire and water…I need a doctor

To go back on topic, alternate universes make things more complicated since it sometimes messes up the entire concept of the actual story.

This right here is why I so heavily dislike it when storylines involve that sort of thing…
It’s weird to think about, though.

Yup yup this is most definitely exactly what we need and it definitely wouldn’t tear the community apart and result in the universe becoming even more convoluted and weird nope no way XD.
