His videos got me back into Bionicle and really became a true pillar of our fandom. One of his goals was to create a fan film based on the novel Time Trap. Personally, I'd love to see what it would take to make that project a reality.
To be the last protector of a massive metropolis while your comrades fell to corruption and the governing hand is trying to get rid of you. That takes courage.
His allies were killed or traitors, his team had 11 members, maybe 12, i liked him, i think he was probably the most interesting Toa because he managed for a long time without a team, and he never gave up when the odds were against him. At one point, he commanded an army of i think thousands of Toa
Running out of time especially (which was the most classic and intense thing of the movie when he said it to Vakama, better, communicated and passed on). Final will to fight, carry on and specifically sacrifice at the end, for the future generation Toa and Turaga (and leader) Vakama.

I wouldn't say he single handedly saved the mayoral universe. He sowed the seeds for a new generation to save them, and sacrificed his power, and his life to do it.

Tears still pour. Perfect movies and animation, Bionicle is basically the best possible example of an animated toy series. Both on the technical but especially musical and story/emotional aspect. Pure intensity, combined to comedy.
@@dusk6159 Miramax owes us 3 more movies even if the models weren’t accurate they had enough detail to make them look alive in that world look at Nidhiki and Sidorka easily the hardest sets to configure into cg models due to having either to many hollow bits or other problems like in nidhikis case his head looks too large on his real life set imagine how they’d have designed the piraka or Barakki
@@WelshGiraffa Indeed, that was crazy tragic. And wow, hearing about Miramax, it was them indeed, that's already a classic and dive into memories (especially their intro, and before especially the Bionicle films)
@@WelshGiraffa I agree, I would’ve liked to have seen the Piraka and Barraki, the Toa Mahri, Toa Inika, and they completely skipped over the Toa Mata line. But I think each line got better as time went by, my favorites Toa Metru, Hordika, Inika, Mahri, and those last lines were interesting, shame they cancelled future product lines for Lego Hero Factory which was completely inferior and not as interesting, didn’t even last half as long
You know, when Vakama put Lhikan’s mask on Jaller and it molded into the shape we know from Mask of Light. It was like an unspoken miracle saying that Lhikan’s life journey didn’t end when he sacrificed himself/died, more along the lines of him living in spirit through Jaller and continuing to protect others.
Indeed, both Jaller's masking and destruction in battle (sacrified too, like Lhikan) to then replacing are overlooked great moments, great but especially absolutely filled with message and meaning.
I saw this movie first, then I saw Web of Shadows, and then I saw Mask of Light, and finally The Legend Reborn, so I didn’t actually know the characters from the first movie when I grew up watching Legends of Metru Nui
At some point his theme was basically the representation of Metru Nui (which is funny considering that Lhikan already is - and literally, considering his role for so long and no matter the odds - , and the most iconic Metru Nui character).
@@dusk6159 absolutely, I loved this movie, the music, and I actually saw this movie first, then I saw Web of Shadows, then I saw Mask of Light, and I can honestly say, I didn’t like Mask of Light as much as Legends of Metru Nui, it was more iconic for me, I would’ve liked to seen movies for the other product lines like Toa Mahri vs Barraki, Toa Inika vs Piraka, would’ve been fun
@@carsenmaxwell3336 Completely agree... Legends of Metru Nui was the best of the three films, just wish they made more! The Toa Mata against the Bohrok would have been cool too... and Matoro is one of my favourite characters from the entire saga, wish they also made a Inika and Mahri film!
They just don't build works (with especially the meanings, ways and aspects of them) like Bionicle or DBZ or other animation films (Dreamworks, Pixar, Disney etc) anymore.
@@dusk6159 who says they can't have it? If I ever become a father, my son/daughter will have every Bionicle I can possibly afford For this is the way, of the Bionicle

Man, pairing It with the recalling of Lhikan's characters and especially deeds (not just sacrifices even, Turaga Lhikan teaching - and fixing their quarrelling and wavering spirit - the other Toa mates of Vakama is iconic, especially the comedy and the final deep thoughts/results) and his ends (and from Toa to Turaga to the last) makes you really cry like it was yesterday. What an heavy hitter, fitting for what and how Lhikan pull his incredible feats.
It's just so great how Vakama looked up and also knew the value of what Lhikan did. And grew to a fine man not just thanks to him but by thinking about him.

I was extremely lucky when I found Toa Lhikan at the Flea Market. The only thing he was missing was his left foot and the entire rhino beast he rides on lol. Needless to say that I gave him a spare foot
I'm sure that if the story of Bionicle continued, a resurrected Lhikan would've helped Kopaka and Pohatu while they were trapped on the Red Star. Maybe he'd be a Turaga guiding a society of resurrected characters living on the Red Star, helping Kopaka and Pohatu escape, just like he helped Nuju, Onewa, and Whenua escape from their confinement ages ago.
@@KanterburyGuardian why name a boat after your hero instead of an island? It would’ve been more fitting since he gave his all to protect an entire island’s population single-handedly, no disrespect to the Mata Nui thing, but I agree with MatiNuva1700

*Let me tell you once again the legend of the Bionicle!*
Ooh! Reading this gave me warm nostalgia feeling in my heart. By the great spirit I miss Bionicle
Me too
Have you notice how both Lhikan and Jaller sacrifice themselves to save someone? And they both own the same mask, i think that’s their destiny
Jaller was a damn good heir and pairing with Lhikan in the duo of films. Great decision by the film-makers.
two times actually, Jaller wanted to Nova blast to give Matoro a bit more time in Mahri nui
Likhan, my favorite toa. One of the most legendary toa in bionicle.
No wonder that Vakama's narration and speech with Lhikan's theme is a perfect pairing and an iconic finale for the second film.
The Bionicle movies and games always had such amazing sound tracks :) pure happy memories when I hear them
The musical and technical departments were masterpieces.
Lhikan was is and always will be.. my favorite

2001-2010 the age of Bionicle, what a great time to be alive
Ageless films, perfect classics and childhood stones.
