Unity. Duty. Destiny.

I'm not sure how to do it organically (hehe joke) but i think if this hypothetical Bionicle team could just spend a bunch of time camping on a beach and having to do arts and crafts or concept art using very basic/ancient techniques. How would a robot on a beach build shelter? Gather supplies? Defend itself? I get where you're coming from and I think a good way to accomplish that would be deconstructing (hehehe) our idea of Pacific islanders in general.

im avoiding homework by thinking about bionicle but i really think a retelling of 2001 needs to drop maori and indigenous polynesian imagery/language as much as possible.

not entirely (obviously the names of characters and toa are kinda permanent, as well as the name "mata nui") but anything that rips off the culture needs to go. mostly.

it would be cool if bionicle was able to pull off a respectful representation of the culture but i think all good will has been shattered due to what lego pulled in 2001 and maybe just focus on heroes saving villagers, robots fighting robots and uncovering cool mysteries at this point

"but bionicle's roots are intertwined with polynesian culture!" ok? and they fucked that up hardcore decades years ago. it's soured forever. focus on the other cool parts about bionicle.

robots in wilderness will always be cool. you can throw a hint of polynesian culture in there but it sure as hell better be respectful

A group of goobers confused over a strange tablet

(Blue and yellow: my partner, had a rahkshi and a bohrok growing up but nothing much past that in terms of bionicle sets)

(Red and white: my other partner, never got into bionicle but is interested now as an adult)

(Orange and green: mine)

also did a mouth opening variant

okay so I was thinking about bionicle at work and realized something, I might be overthinking it this was confirmed and I'm just late to the party, but I want some feedback
