Kopaka fighting in Ko-Koro was the most powerful scene for the heroes in the movie. And the biggest success. The Rakshi's hand freeze scene will never stop being iconic.
Eh, his one eye gives him more of the "eye patch wearing badass", like Snake. Or even moreso, he gives off more of the "Badass Cyborg" look too, I.E. Terminator.
I think what I loved is he used his mask to calculate where to throw his swords so that he would perfectly land on them and ski away. Never thought to use the mask like that
I like how he acts all edgy and like he doesn't care but and is a loner but at no point dose he leave anyone in harms way. whenever he leaves someone or "abandons" people he only ever dose it when said people are no longer in harms way. he lets the pair follow him without complaint and protects them till they are safe and are once more on the right track to continue there quest even if he doesn't like it. he abandons gali and the others so he can save pohatu and onwa but only after he is certain that the others are no longer in need of his skills. dispite everything he cares deeply for others and simply doesn't like showing it. but would never leave or abandon anyone till he knows they no longer need him.
He certainly had "duty" down out of the 3 virtues. He's practically the Batman of the group where as Tahu was more of the wolverine (not to mention being voiced by Scott McNiel who also voiced our favorite canadian clawed hero.)
Subtle moment at 4:20 : it looks like Gali’s color fades as she falls back, I guess drained from using her powers. She then gets her colors back by the river.
Gali: "do you think the Turaga were right about us? have we lost our Unity?" Kopaka: **walks off, no elaboration** We learn later that he left to get Onua and Pohatu out of the collapsed tunnel in time for the final fight against the Rahkshi. X-Ray Vision mask. The lack of communication is just... 😙👌
I always thought as a kid, when Kopaka walks off; it wasn't because he didn't want to stay and talk, but because he was a man of action. He gets up and goes off to find the answer himself, for his own eyes. Whether its to protect another villian, gather allies or just sit alone to ask that same question to himself. While tahu rushes head first into a problem, Kopaka rushes mind first; two sides of the same coin.
Also that he knows that here isn't where he's needed. It's embarrassing for Onua needing to be dug out by Kopaka, but if Kopaka hadn't checked they might have remained buried for the final fight. The others were focused on Tahu and Gali, then the mask. Sidenote: Is that part of why Kopaka is Kaita with Pohatu and Onua? They're both good at doing grand things that benefit multiple others, Kopaka helps them remember the smaller things as well
funny thing i noticed about the bohrok: excluding the shields, the look like the Filmmakers used models of the sets (that were probabply used to render the official boxart) to depict them. based on the look of the shields, which have some weird discs where pistons/drills should be, i'd say those were probably some Nuhvok.
I love how in this movie the Toa Nuva never really use their weapons in melee. When the Toa nuva back when they were Toa mata were trained by Hydraxon mostly in melee. M O S T L Y
IIRC due to parental concerns Lego were very cagey about depicting the Toa using their weapons as melee weapons against actual enemies. Dunno if they went back on that, but that's what I heard was applicable to the films. (Also why they were formally called "Toa tools" in the lore and never referred to as weapons.)
@@youraftermyrobotbee In lore, the Toa have a rule not to kill. If they kill accidentally, they just get a stern talking to by a Turaga. If they kill intentionally, they are stripped of their title as Toa.
One thing that i got to enjoy (bc i could focus on it more) in this movie more than in the book is that Kopaka really just shows up, does his thing, and as soon as he's done Off He Fucks. Its accidentally hilarious, my man has had his mandatory social interaction for the hour and he needs to go recharge Right Now or else he'll melt into a puddle
Kopaka likes to keep things short and to the point - more time talking is less time thinking. He probably knows that Takua and Jaller are on a mission, he knows the Chronicler enough to know if he's there, it's important, all he wants is just the details. He knows that he wouldn't resist three Rahkshi simultaneously, thus only counters and avoids direct conflict until he knows specifically who or what they're chasing, and then traps them in ice with minimal effort one they're distracted. And once he knows that the way is clear, he leaves to where he may be needed, which just so happens to be Onu Koro.
I would've loved to see at least a show of all the events of G1 Bionicle just so all the characters would've gotten proper screentime Plus i love their VA's in this film, they fit them so well! (Well, I always imagined Lewa having a voice similar of a child or preteen because I always saw him as the youngest of the group and Gali and Onua as eldest twins)
At 0:43, his scopes translated from Left, Mid and Right say: *_"PC TARAKAVA"_* The Blue and Torquise Punching Lizard Rahi. *_"PC USSALCRAB"_* Crab Rahi Matoran use. *_"PC NUIRAMA"_* The Orange and Lime colored Insect Rahi with snapping wings [which I still remember those hurting no differently than Nui-Jaga's stinger...].
Kind of reminds me of the Mata Nui Online Game; in Ko-Koro, Turaga Nuju is reading a wall of Matoran scripture that, when translated, is merely LEGO set information
Unlike them, he had the ability to completely encase them in something. The Rahkshi could just walk through a raging torrent or a wall of flame even if it damaged them, but ice? Nope. They're stopped dead in their tracks.
I don't know if I forgot this, or just the dub I listened to was translated badly, but I thought only Gali healed Tahu with just water.I guess it makes more sense now that all 3 Toa used some kinda "healing" powers.
I don't understand how Lewa the toa of air could invoke the elemental power of fire. Even when using Tahu's sword Lewa can only channel his elemental powers throught it.
So these three body Tahu while in his elemental, then get wrecked by Kopaka in his element? Does Tahu ever not get the short end of the stick in this series?
It's because pretty much only he and Pohatu had the ability to completely encase the Rahkshi in something solid. Sure, Onua could've trapped them in dirt but it'd be loose enough that they could break out
@@TechWizard28 old photo, but I wore one tonight to help stop any customers of mine from gettin' whatever's causing my sore throat. 😒 Besides that, I just think it's a neat picture, and white masks look the best.
"They are frozen! Who could've done this?!" Oh gee. I do wonder if there is a some kind of super-warrior well known on this island who lives in cold places and is a cryomancer *slaps forehead* Like really guys. Toa have been a legend known by all of you even before they came to Mata Nui. And you know they were fighting Bohroks for quite some time before getting boosted to Nuva forms. And you are in literally Kopaka's domain right now. It's not that hard to put 2 and 2 together.

Kopaka stop those three Rahkshi, that even quicker than Toa Tahu and Gali could do.

This man had no screen time whatsoever yet he managed to be the most badass character in the entire movie
7 minutes in a little over an hour long movie is alright
@@Jmgjgdjd5 and he's voiced by michal dowbson the voice of statacream from transfomers uncron triolgy
I’m not a fan of the toa voice acting in the movie, but kopaka was perfect
He was very memorable
Comics and books too :)

Eh, his one eye gives him more of the "eye patch wearing badass", like Snake. Or even moreso, he gives off more of the "Badass Cyborg" look too, I.E. Terminator.
My man literally has a combined total of 10 minutes of screen time and yet he’s the biggest freaking Chad in this movie
kopaka is the true #sigma
When someone asks you a question, you don't have to answer it, just walk away
like kopaka
Imagine calling Kopaka a sigma lol
Toa Male > Sigma Male
I mean , i don't see the point of staying to watch a matoran violently licken by his pet crab
His non-reaction to getting blasted over the cliff by Panrahk is still probably my favorite character beat in this movie.
I was about to comment on that. He’s awesome.
I think what I loved is he used his mask to calculate where to throw his swords so that he would perfectly land on them and ski away. Never thought to use the mask like that

Kopaka: No😒
🤭🤭He is so cold and direct
For me it was "Rakshi, Washed, aaaaand Chilled." So freakin cool.
@@chancellorpalpatine4035For me it's that and his "Surprise"

@@EclipseHedgehog That’s what I said!
@@EclipseHedgehog Also Batman was voiced by Micheal Dobson (the same voice actor as Kopaka in this movie) as well!
He embodies wisdom and action at the same time
Subtle moment at 4:20 : it looks like Gali’s color fades as she falls back, I guess drained from using her powers. She then gets her colors back by the river.
Just realised how often they forgot to animate his mouth.
my favorite scene is when he leaves gali in the middle of her emotional moment
Gali: "do you think the Turaga were right about us? have we lost our Unity?"
Kopaka: **walks off, no elaboration**
We learn later that he left to get Onua and Pohatu out of the collapsed tunnel in time for the final fight against the Rahkshi. X-Ray Vision mask.
The lack of communication is just... 😙👌
As soon as she wasnt on the verge of passing out anymore he shut off his hearing and speeded the hell away to get the Dirt Brothers out of the dirt
Bohrok only get like 3 seconds of screen time in one official movie.....thats sad
These events took places after the Bohrok. You faced them in the video game though.
@@sacredprovenance Would have been cool to see a movie before this though
But you do get to see a bohrok in “pretransformation” for most of the movie if it’s any consolation
@@BackyardRonin That could have been really well done in a movie, watching the Toa realize they’ve been murdering Matoran the whole time

Kopaka was the first Bionicle I ever got when I was young.
And my first Bionicle is Pohatu in my childhood. And I still have it.
Same
Lewa was mine.
MY FIRST BIONICLE WAS KOPAKA TOO
If Keeanu Reeves was in the Bionicle Universe I can see him being Kopaka as well
If there was ever a big budget Bionicle movie Keanu would actually be great as Kopaka
I always suspected when I was little, Kopaka had the power to see the future. That’s why he just leaves when he does. He knows where he’s needed most.
Also that he knows that here isn't where he's needed. It's embarrassing for Onua needing to be dug out by Kopaka, but if Kopaka hadn't checked they might have remained buried for the final fight. The others were focused on Tahu and Gali, then the mask.
Sidenote: Is that part of why Kopaka is Kaita with Pohatu and Onua? They're both good at doing grand things that benefit multiple others, Kopaka helps them remember the smaller things as well
@@patrickjordan2868 The Nuva Kaita have Kopaka with Gali and Lewa, though
There is actually a Toa who can do this, her name is Gaaki. She's in the third movie as one of the Rahaga, but she eventually gets unmutated
funny thing i noticed about the bohrok: excluding the shields, the look like the Filmmakers used models of the sets (that were probabply used to render the official boxart) to depict them.
based on the look of the shields, which have some weird discs where pistons/drills should be, i'd say those were probably some Nuhvok.
Good observation!
An in world explanation could be that they're completely mechanical so they didn't need to redesign the already mechanical looking sets.
Kopaka has always been my Older Brother's favourite Character in Bionicle and my Brother even also had this silent and heroic personality as him

a toa of ice talking about that the things you do make you a hero is very cool unintended foreshadowing
Ahh yes! What everyone says is the best of this whole movie!
In the entire healing scene you can see Gali loosing her colors and having them return after recharnign her powers from water. Good touch
I still find it funny that he just left Gali talking to herserlf
Kopaka likes to keep things short and to the point - more time talking is less time thinking.

Sometimes it feels like Kopaka is the Wolverine of the Toa team.
Gali + Tahu and more toa cant fight rakshi, meanwhile Kopaka alone: defeats like 3 by himself
Gali: Tahu!!! Remember who you are! Remember your destiny!

This is why Kopaka is my favorite of the 6 original Toa.

Tahu and Gali get trounced by three Rahkshi, and then Kopaka just solos them.
Unlike them, he had the ability to completely encase them in something. The Rahkshi could just walk through a raging torrent or a wall of flame even if it damaged them, but ice? Nope. They're stopped dead in their tracks.
I couldn't help but pause at 2:56 out of curiosity
those bulging eyes are some of the most cursed thing I've seen
2:35 when you fire the animators

I love how the lens on Kopaka's mask is based of a digital camera
Coldest mafk in the neighbourhood.
Imagine if Steve Blum was casted as Kopoka instead of the actor who played him in this movie.
Why him petting Takua is actually cute-
Where’s the part where he freezes Tahu?
I don't know if I forgot this, or just the dub I listened to was translated badly, but I thought only Gali healed Tahu with just water.I guess it makes more sense now that all 3 Toa used some kinda "healing" powers.
1:43 I remember thinking he got stabbed and died here
Does it bother anyone else that the Bohrok models are set accurate? I really need to track down one of the animators and ask why this is
I use kopaka as a fake name 😂
Kopaka+Tahu = Todoroki
Forgot how mogged kopaka's face in this is.
nooooooooooo
Kopaka, chad Toa of cool.
I don't understand how Lewa the toa of air could invoke the elemental power of fire. Even when using Tahu's sword Lewa can only channel his elemental powers throught it.
Maybe theres residual power in the blade
Maybe it's their nuva mask channeling some, or it' Tahu using it somehow.
Tahu might have been trying to channel his fire powers in that moment
So these three body Tahu while in his elemental, then get wrecked by Kopaka in his element? Does Tahu ever not get the short end of the stick in this series?
Kopaka was the only toa to single handily stop the rahkshi (even though they came back later).
It's because pretty much only he and Pohatu had the ability to completely encase the Rahkshi in something solid. Sure, Onua could've trapped them in dirt but it'd be loose enough that they could break out
