I recently listened to a podcast interview with the directors of the original Bionicle films and they talked about their emphasis on having a high quality soundtrack and sound design for the films and just rewatching this clip here you can really tell they achieved that
My favorite thing about this? Takanuva’s first action as a Toa is to avenge Jaller by oneshotting Turahk, who like the other Rahkshi proved almost unstoppable, maybe more than the rest. Great way to immediately assure us that he’s capable of handling Makuta.
I can't be the only one who finds it hilarious that the first thing he does is make a monument of his face. I get it, it was originally to represent the 7th Toa, so he's like "Behold, it was me all along", but still. He just carved a whole ass Mt. Rushmore dedicated entirely to him haha
@@blackheartzerotheundergrou3225yeah when Takua and Jaller arrived at the temple (or whatever this place is supposed to be) a beam of light from the mask destroyed a part of the rock and revealed some face features resembling Takua. If Jaller or any other Matoran found the mask first, he would be chosen as herald of the mask. Then the mask would lead him to this place and reveal who was the Seventh Toa so that the herald would give the mask to him. But it turned out that Takua had found the mask first and he had to go on an adventure to find himself
Looking back on the three classic Bionicle movies, man, the voice acting was great, the soundtracks were godly and tbh the animation still holds up throughout the three (including the 4th). If was weary looking back on them now but thankfully they didn't age badly, BIG part of my childhood. Thanks for uploading them in 1080 and 60fps!
I feel like the animation is dated and cheap, but in the endearing and nostalgic sort of way. It's like replaying a game you enjoyed as a kid, but it doesn't look as good on a newer TV.
For Direct-to-DVD, Web of Shadows holds up really well visually. Can’t really say the same for the other three though, but they were good for their time
It was always meant to be Takua. That statue was placed there a long time ago by someone who knew that Takua was actually an av-matoran and not a ta-matoran.
@@stephenbyrne2170av-matoran were matoran of light. They were a tad more powerful than regular matoran, capable of shooting low power light beams and changing their armor's color at will to look like another elemt's matoran. Some, instead of getting revived after dying inside the Red Star, like most matoran, would be teleported to have their corpses turned into bohrok, if they were destined to.
Well done sir. Once the enhanced visuals and that epic choir started, I was taken right back to a time before time, and I got a lump in my throat from the glory of the moment. Thank you.
In all fairness to those people, outside of the toys and movies, Lego's marketing game was pretty weak for Bionicle to the point where you only knew about it after the fact.
Anyone else play the old Bionicle web game where you played as "The Chronicler" back in the day? It was insane to see that little guy turn out to be the seventh Toa, but it made sense too. Takua was fighting alongside the Toa long before he was their brother.
Fun Fact: Takanuva isn't a Toa Nuva. When a Matoran transforms into a Toa, they can imagine what their body will look like. Hence why Takua imagined the body of the six Toa Nuvas. So his own Toa of Light took on their design. Same.with the six Toa of Metru Nui, they each imagined Toa Lhikan's appearance when they took on their own.
*puts on mask* *says his name and occupation* *one shots a rahkshi with a beam of light* *uses said light to carve his own face in a mountain* *refuses to elaborate and leaves* Taka Nuva isn't a sigma, nor chad. He's in his own category
My dude seriously sent his best friend on a wild goose chase because he *_really_* didn't wanna 1v1 Satan. It had to take said friend dying for him to finally decide to man up and accept his destiny. Also, he kinda-sorta died too after defeating Teridax, so I guess him and Jaller are even.
@@braedentwumasi8893 becoming the destined Seventh Toa meant he would have to fight the Makuta to awaken the Great Spirit. The Makuta _(Teridax, specifically,)_ is the closest thing their world has to a Satan. That's what I meant by "1v1 Satan".
I'm pretty sure it doesn't work like that. The new mask merges with the old one. With I guess the old one being subsumed and no longer existing. Unless you're putting a Great Kanohi over another Great Kanohi, where both masks still exist and can be willed to appear on the wearers face when the need arises. That's what the Toa Mata did with all their extra masks until they got their Golden ones. Probably it isn't a good idea for a Matoran to remove their mask anyway. Unlike a Toa, they could lose all their energy and fall into a coma if they don't have a mask on.
This scene was upscaled using Topaz Labs' Gigapixel AI. The settings were customized for each shot so that every frame has the best results. I've found that using this tool instead produces much more high-quality results than Video Enhance AI (Which is the software I used before.)
Something that still bugs me is that they didn’t get his colours right. His chest and shoulders should be gold while the rest is silver or white. Unsure why they did that.
Here's something that'll super annoy you then; before the Toa Mata got their golden masks, they were each pretty much wearing six masks all at the same time.
Nah, their extra masks were on their Suvas. They only wore one mask at any given moment, they teleported back and forth whenever they called upon them.
for some reason, reminds me a jojo when dio turned into a vampire. it's really sad that bionicle has only three masterpiece movies. (fuck the legend reborn and fuck the reboot.)
I think this post from Reddit and half of it’s comments sum up the issues I have with it: www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/9r005i/the_new_premiere_feature_sucks/ “ I can understand and live with the 'live' reminders in my subscription feed, but this new premiere feature sucks.

Absolutely, the technical part of it managed to be just as legendary and lasting as their work on the film, its themes, atmosphere, characters etc.

This is what it feels like going from middle school to high school, or primary school to secondary school.
And Turakh is just standing around as Takua transforms into Takanuva. He done failed his daddy
this used to give me serious goosebumps as a kid
I remember watching this as a kid and felt like some sort of emotion from this movie not like sad but like this movie made me FEEL something as a kid
Bros first act as a toa was to vaporize Turahk into oblivion, now that’s vengeance in its finest
I wish they’d made a movie where Jaller, Kongu, Hahli, Matoro, Nuparu, and Hewkii became the Toa Inika.
They BRING BACK BIONICLES ‼️
Even as a new member of the fandom I love this moment
Glad you do
Avengers: Endgame ain't got shit on this moment.
Makuta Teridax: So, it has begun, my brother. But soon, it will also... END.
