Thanks so much for watching!
I find it really funny that the Glatorian, apparently even more biological then the Mata Nui residents, were given more robotic, toy accurate designs in the film. I really wonder what Miramax Ignika or even 2008 designs would look like. I need my boy Krika in animation dang it!
At least we got those cool commercials/promos during the ignition trilogy.
Would have loved to see Zaktan and the rest of the Piraka in the Miramax style.
@@FoxsDumbSeriesMaker Yeah!
the glatorian, in lore, are just organic dudes in armor with some tech implants here and there. the fact that legend reborn depicts them as more robotic than the matoran universe residents is absolutely hilarious
@@cideofsacae Now that you mention it, it is funny!
Man, hearing "TAKUAAAAAA" again after so long felt like a mental flashbang.
*Great cataclysm flashbacks*
I know same
I hear it in my dreams sometimes
"What are you doing out here ALONE?? We're 'supposed' to be at the Kohlii match!"
Flashbacks to the Lego flash games video
It’s amazing that Bionicle is still talked about to this very day.
To be fair in the Bionicle Universe, Toa had a code of honor of sorts called the "Toa Code" which not only prohibited Toa from killing their enemies (unless their own lives were being threatened), Toa are also prohibited from using their weapons to kill
Also the giant robot body at the end of The Legend Reborn is just...a giant robot, it was in fact the prototype robot to Mata Nui's own robot body, it was just another creation of the Great Beings
As someone who’s never seen Bionicle before. It’s kind of like walking into a museum of history you know nothing about. As soon as I heard that legendary ’Taaakkkkkuuuuuuuaaaaaaaa’ I immediately knew why it became such an infamous meme for a while. And by god did that phrase it leave my head for a while.
The Legend Reborn
My god the memories of rewatching it
We think the reason why people are not too happy at the Legend Reborn design is that in canon, the resistance of Bara Magna are supported to be the opposite of the resistance of the Matoran universe, basically the inhabitants of the M.U are robotic with organic elements like organs and such, so the Miramax design work with that idea, but the inhabitants of B.M are organic creatures with robotic elements like replacement limbs and organs. So the fact they look more robotic then the Toa looks off and makes them look bland by comparison.
Also they didn't give the Zesk a mention which immediately knocks it down a few.
I would add that the storytelling, character lines/voices, and action were even more "campier" to appeal to a younger audience instead of the demographic that grew up with the series.
wow tohunga fans are vocal and not happy about legend reborn.
Seriously, these things were awesome. Even if they were "aimed at kids", they still did it in a cool way and made you feel cool watching them.
Mask of Light is certainly a classic and personal childhood favorite for me. It was dark, epic, sad, and emotionally powerful, even if it had a somewhat simple plot and all. :)
I used to watch web of shadows so often. Roodaka really does explain a ton about why I am like I am.
Bad girl monsterphile?
@@emblemblade9245 I wish the list was that short.
I didn't expect Bionicle to share something in common with LEGO Friends, which didn't have it's animated counterparts resemble the toys until 2021 with a holiday special.
The robotic details on the legend reborn chracters dont make sense lore wise. Because they are organic creatures
The main reason mask of light is my favorite is that the other movies like to throw in little snippets of lore that aren’t explained and theirs so much story missing that I feel the need to explain it
Mask of light is simple I don’t need to explain much
The Legend Reborn was always so good to me, loved that movie.
Honestly glad I'm not the only one who loved the legend reborn, Rock on Diamondbolt!
The 4th film has always been my favorite film.
I personally grew up on the Metru Nui movie, and the Legend reborn movie and toy line. Didn't even know the other's existed until 4 years after the cancelation
4:08 WHAT THE HELL I THOUGHT YOU EDITED THAT IN BUT I JUST WATCHED THE MOVIE AND IT'S ACTUALLY LIKE THAT
I’ve had the dream. The bionicle dream for the last 13 years.
The 2000s were a great time for this franchise. I get what you meant about how Bionicle would be better off as a show with 10 seasons, instead of being a bunch of movies that focus on the years themselves, while being separate from the first 2 years & the Ignition Trilogy.
THESE MOVIES WERE MY CHILDHOOD! Great movies and great video bro 👍 Love your channel
HEY diamond!!! There is a new Lego BIONICLE set coming out
this is just legit nostalgic...just damm
"I don't know what got into me. Oh, that's right! SOME! KINDA MONSTER!"
When you realize Jaller’s voice is the same as Billy’s from Transformers Armada…. 8|
Now I want a video of Adam watching Hero Factory and Breakout
@hitmeuponnicegramwolfeyvgc6337 No
Those spinning mechanical parts on the Bara Magna population always looked wrong to me since they're supposed to be fully organic
I knew I'd seen a Bionicle movie before! I've always remembered ____ of Shadows for some reason and I had no idea why.
Can Confirm. Roodaka has some good stuff out there. Definitely keeping that tab open for later
the only toys i had where the ones from the last movie, and yet i preffered the other movies
i dunno, they felt more "concise", the last one takes you on a new plot with new characters in literally a new planet instead of using any of the other ones, leaving the things we liked from previous moveis behind
I wonder if Diamondbolt will get the Tahu and Takua GWP?
Ah, Bionicle. A classic. I love this series!
While it wasn’t as popular I think the animation for the hero factory movies were really good
You really should do a video about the lego hero factory series sometime
Brooo same The Legend Reborn was my fav as well
Glad to see I'm not the only person who liked the Legend reborn
To be honest, I had no idea there was a fourth movie. By 2009, I was in high school and mostly "out" of the Bionicle phase. Forever, I literally thought that there was only the 3. (Also Mask of Light is my favorite, its just such a comfy movie compared to the second two)
Adam, have you seen all of Ninjago? If not what are you doing. You live in Australia, all of it is on Aussie Netflix, except for the pilot and Day of the Departed.
They got Michael Dorn as Mata Nui you can’t beat that!
come on man ninjago is a good show (dont know about the later seasons, never got past the forbidden spinjitzu one)
when we getting the "Watching the Ninjago show (and movie) - Diamondbolt" video???
The later seasons are also amazing, just dont Watch 11 and 16
Master of the Mountain is so good
Can you make a video on all the Hero Factory movies? Savage planet is absolute bae
Hm, i wonder if this Original Story for the Franchise could still make a Return somehow?
You had the hordika bed sheets too!!!!
Oboeshoes would be proud. Great video.
Awesome
I wish I could have the old toys
Any chance you'll do any videos on other lego themes eg like ninjago?
I definitely agree that a Bionicle show would've worked way better than a bunch of interspersed movies (again, if they actually tried unlike the reboot). The Ninjago comparison is most apt, as both have far too much lore to cram into a one film=one wave type of situation. That's why, to me at least, I prefer the novels, as they are able to stretch out the story in a perfect pacing, exploring several elements that the films could not. What I would give to see a 1:1 Bionicle reboot, where we get to see the original story adapted into a show like that.
This reminds of the hero factory movie rise of the rookies
Wait are you telling me jaller trun into one of the big guys are you for real?
TAKUAAAAAA
so true
The part of Bionicle that irritates me the most is that it wasn't cancelled originally due to lack of sales; it was because a bunch of the older executives at Lego didn't like how the line didn't integrate with The System. "The System" is the standard Lego format with minifigs and studs. So knowing this, why they made Hero Factory afterwards is anyone's guess.
The cancelation of Bionicle had several reasons.
1. The sales were not bad, but they were declining since the mid-2000s, around the Piraka era. Final decision to discontinue was in 2008.
2. The lore was overly complex and hard to keep up with since there was no central medium that told the story.
3. Lego wanted to focus more on the Lego Brick, so their big story theme should be system bricks-based: Ninjago.
4. Lego wanted to save money. Bionicle used a lot of different molds. Because of that Lego invented a new building system that had more generic parts which could be reused over and over again. CCBS, the building system Hero Factory used. Lego then also used Hero Factory to experiment with the new building system and wanted to bring Bionicle back once they could use it to its full potential. We can assume from parts depicted in concept art that Bionicle G2 must have been in development since the introduction of the new building system. G2 came and failed.
8:38 GOD, I WISH THAT WAS ME
My only disappointment is the lack of movie for Voya Nui and Mahri Nui saga which imo are the peak storywriting in Bionicle franchise
2009 was the best one
More robotic? Bruh they're biomechanical. They have flesh and muscle.
yes
As someone who’s introduction to bionicles was was the star series (because I was young) I am very offended
Takuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
The fact that the Inika and Mahri never got a film is a cardinal sin.
We were robbed of seeing the Piraka in an animated film.
Yo yo Piraka
@@emblemblade9245 the gang's on the loose
@@cristinagomez3283Nothing you can Do
You can try, but why, you know your gonna lose
@@thatcowguy1308 Piraka on the street
It's time tick tocka
The gang on the loose in your school locker
Imagine not thinking that Bionicle is the pinnacle of movie making.
Tell me my friends, did you ever have the Bionicle dream?
Every set on store shelf’s, just me in the store. Woke up so mad
Three times, three times damnit! All my childhood dream toys that i wish i could've afford then surrounding me in an endless landscape of nostalgia
Nah its the hot wheels dream
No, but i did find a black technic ball socket on the street.
Only nightmares of a strange little man yelling Takuya
This is not the 8 hour long bionicle collection video I expected. I am very disappointed adam diamondbolt.
The most amazing thing is that Lego is actually acknowledging that Bionicle exists again, there is hope for the triumphant return of our favourite childhood series!
I mean it technically returned in 2015 , but the line failed so yea
LEGO is a toy co., so they have to know what we want. Even if what we want is to be spoiled.
Sadly i think there is very little hope of Bionicle returning as we all know and love it as the set we got is more of an one time exclusive GWP(Gift With Purchase) set and not to mention Greg Farshtey the guy responsible for the Bionicle story is quitting from the Lego company very soon.
Can't wait for Bionicle Star Wars
We gotta get a sequel to The Legend Reborn. That was such a cliff hanger and by far the best bionicle movie!
The guys that made the last Bionicle movie also made Clutch Powers, it seems like they had all of these awesome ideas for trilogy’s but were never given the chance to finish them.
I felt shocked that the Studio who made the legend reborn and are planning to make 2 more movies in the trilogy have to sacrifice it for the clutch powers movie
@@Mr.Feather130 Yeah too bad
@@Mr.Feather130 Had to make room for the clutch powers trilogy baby! …which also got cancelled but still
@@Finamajig Yeah because Lego move on to better things like the Lego movie franchise
@@Mr.Feather130 yeah but clutch powers though
9:12 Imagine you spend an entire movie trying to cure you and your friends of a terrible condition. You meet the guy who can do just that, and it's perhaps the only one who can. And all he says is...
No
I was at LEGOLAND Cali recently and I was both amused and disheartened to see that the presence of Bionicle at the park has been reduced to a few statues an an effing kiddie teacup style ride.
I’m not gonna begrudge the kids for being more enthralled by Ninjago and all that, but I think it can be a slap in the face for those that grew up with Bionicle and its world, especially given how Lego is usually respectful of its legacy properties.
Heck freaking Johnny Thunder at least has a walk through attraction and a shooter dark ride. Bionicle should at least have that equal amount of worth.
People used to salute the Tahu statue at Legoland
@@anthonyvillanueva5226 Fxck. Me.
Johnny who?
@@TheReZisTLust Johnny Thunder who's a very popular Lego Character back in like the late 80s-early 90s
@@Mr.Feather130 Let's face it, Johnny Thunder only existed because Lego didn't have the rights to Indiana Jones yet. However, Adventurers was still a great theme, even if it wasn't as original and out there as Bionicle.
I wasn't much of a fan of Bionicle, but the "TAKUAAAAA" is carved into my brain
These movies were absolutely my childhood, and I have so many fond memories of watching them. Good times
Bionicle is gonna make a comeback and when it does, I’ll be here for it.
But it had a comeback in 2015...
Hopefully it does to fill the hole that crystalized left on me
A Bionicle tribute set Gift with purchase(40581) has been released on this world
@@Bionickpunk
I’m sure he meant an actually good one.
@@APinchofBazel whats your favorite bionicle movie? Also I like your out of context videos lol
Sad to know this was cut from the final version of Unfriended, where Diamondbolt explains the vast lore of the Bionicle series.
That’s annoyingly clever.
At this point, Adam could make a video of any movie/movie series and I would still wach it
What’s next, rewatching The Hero Factory mini series?
Hero Factory retrospective would be neat.
I remember giving them so much hate as a kid because it was supposed to be a replacement for Bionicle... and then once Hero Factory was canned it became a "be careful of what you wish for" moment.
@@erikhanseisenheber looking back at them now I definitely missed out
@@erikhanseisenheber by 2014 they had already basically given up on it, it's a shame they never continued the storyline from breakout.
Hero Factory is our childhood for me and my brothers. We never had Bionicle, so I'd be excited for a movie on Hero Factory.
You know, I always headcanon Keetongu as some kind of matoran bigfoot.
LOL, that's basically what he is.
SAME, I THOUGHT THAT WAS JUST ME XD
I was about to rewatch these movies over the weekend, so this is incredible timing
thats not a great being corpse. the great beings are just ultra smart glatorian. the thing they found was a broken prototype of mata nuis original body that he ended up using to fight makuta who had stolen said body
Weirdly enough, one of my core memories from my childhood was from back when Netflix was a dvd mail rental service and I queued up The Legend Reborn because I recognized Mata Nui from the set I got for my birthday, but I can't remember if it ever arrived in the mail because most of my memories from that time are flooded with moving stuff because my family moved around a lot since my dad didn't have a permanent job at the time lol
Did you know that Roodaka was voiced by the same actress as Gali.
It's such a shame they didn't realize realize how important the show was to Ninjago's success, that they made such a lackluster series of shorts for g2
These movies were my childhood, I loved them so much and would watch them over and over again!
Really sucks I never knew the Bionicle series as a kid, but seeing DiamondBolt talking about all the movies is a nice way to start a journey. And the quote "TAKUA!" is one of the best lines in cinema history.
Have you seen lego rewind?
That series ended a while ago with a final episode with bionicle and that covers the toys, story, etc...
Does Anyone Remember Hero Factory?
Oooh yeah
Childhood memory unlocked
Yeah
It was okay. Nothing too special, but not bad either.
@@magnusprime962 Yep. The first Hero Factory cartoons were really good
Now. Hear me out. Puss in Boots 2 was amazing and Universal was probably the reason why that movie even survived. Universal now owns Lego's movie rights, now what if the next Lego movie is a Bionicle movie made in the same style as Puss in boots 2 or Spiderverse. Maybe Dreamworks can help with it. To me that sounds like a dream come true
They do?
Still wondering if like the art style will be more toy-accurate and also if they will adapt the 2015 run or the OG series.
@@gracekim25
WB sold them after Lego Movie 2 tanked.
I don’t think Bionicle has the brand recognition to be worth the investment. Plus, what would you do for the story? Do you just ignore the original movies and reboot it? If so, how much of the original story do you keep? Which arc do you start with? Do you keep any of the G2 changes? It’s a big mess that isn’t really worth it.
@@magnusprime962do you think Guardians of the galaxy mad marvel had the brand recognition beyond characters like spider man and wolverine
God I love Bionicle! A few years ago I went through my old Lego collection and managed find enough Bionicle pieces to build my own original guy and now he's on display on the top of my shelf in all of his mismatched Glory.
Legend Reborn was the only Bionicle movie I ever watched. I was born in 2005 so I missed out on the other installments of Bionicle. My thing was Hero Factory. But nevertheless, I loved the movie. I rewatched it so many times. It's a shame we never got a sequel.
What do we do when we tell Diamondbolt there’s still one more Blockbuster?
Yes, I know it’s in Oregon.
3:51 *LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THOSE FALLS!*
Can’t believe bionicle is Over 20 years old now
There needs to be a kickstarter to get the piraka /under water story made into a movie. I’d re by all those sets as an adult😂
The problem is the Piraka part has too much story for one movie, whereas the Mahri part has barely anything interesting happen until the end
I honestly wish Bionicle could have a reboot movie series nowadays. Maybe actually being released in theaters and having some more famous actors on board.
Anyway, awesome video as always!
No need for famous actors given that there are legitimate voice actors with amazing skills that could give the characters the life the comics and books gave them.
@@jasonkeith2832 my ideal direction is an all-Maori cast
@@blakchristianbale That would be a great selling point, but I don't know if the current pool of voice actors actively working would be able to support a cast the size that any movie would need. Also, voice acting is best served by most qualified talent rather than most accurant ethnicity to character.
I used to think that the Xenoblade chronicles setting was super cool and unique and then my friend pointed out that they stole it from bionicle
But did Bionicle steal it from Xenogears?
Got some lord of the rings vibes from the first movie. Takua and Jaller with a golden mask is basically Sam and Frodo with the golden ring.
My Roodaka figure is sitting one leg crossed on top of the other, on the highest shelf of my display, looking down to any onlookers. Yeah DiamondBolt you're right about Roodaka 😂
I never had the privilege of growing up with the original Bionicle like most, as I was more aware and into Hero Factory before seeing the 2016 reboot line. But the original seems like something I would have a lot of fun watching, seeing all the locations, wildlife and getting to know all the set of characters and the distinctive personalities they have. I haven't seen the series on Netflix yet, but judging by your reaction maybe that's for the best, we'll find out soon enough. But even if I haven't really seen any of them I still want to see the engineering of Bionicle return to full form. Maybe Hero Factory too, if we're lucky.
The Bionicle community worships this video
That they do
Please do the Hero Factory series next!
About the aesthetics of the movies, I believe it was intentional in the Miramax films. Think about it, in the Matoran Universe, they are supposed to be biomechanical, robots with organic tissue within them. Hence the name “BIONICLE”. However, I’ve heard somewhere that the people on Bara Magna are almost completely organic. What Threshold Entertainment did in The Legend Reborn may interpret them as actual toys, with some success. They did, however, improve the facial features in Hero Factory in 2010. Still, that movie was a bit of a mixed bag and didn’t feel like a Bionicle story to me.
But yeah, it is your right to interpret them however you want. Just wanted to get this information out there.
While my only experience with Bionicle is the FPS game for the DS, I appreciate this man's dedication to the art.
This certainly awakened some dormant memories (Especially regarding The Legend Reborn) But when Mask of Light came up in this video, it triggered a fight of flight response due to the TAKUAAA earrape sound living rent free in the back of my skull.
I still wish Lego would bring back Bionicle. Imagine what the video games could look like now.
It would Probably be a download only 2d side scroller for Nintendo Switch 🤷♀️
There's actually a really good looking fan game coming out called Bionicle: Masks of Power and recently fans fixed and finished an unreleased and cancelled 2001 Bionicle game.
