    I was going to make a joke about Vakama saying 'I can explain everything', but he won't. Then I realised it's entirely in-character for him to use wordplay like that to not actually lie to Tahu whilst still keeping things secret. So this is very well written on top of being very well animated and voiced.

    Loved that look and shrug Jaller and Tahu shared near the end there. One moment trying to knock eachothers masks off, the next, brothers in befuddlement at Vakama.

    I thought Vakama was pretty badass when he stopped the fight; and I think it makes sense, cause he used to be a Toa himself.

    I am so incredibly hyped for this series! An animated retelling of Bionicle told by passionate fans is everything I could've dreamed of and I'm so exited to see where you guys go. The animatic and art was wonderful, I really liked the fight sequence. Vakama still being a lowkey badass was so cool! The voice acting was incredibly superb! You guys did an amazing job casting. Plus the dialogue was great. "Apparently he thinks himself the Toa of Stupidity"!
    If I were to have one critique, I feel like at times Tahu's characterization feels too brutal. Him fighting the Ta-Koro Guard makes plenty sense, after all they attacked him, of course he would be enraged and fight back. Its a pretty clear extension to what was implied in MNOG and in line with his character. But I feel like him continuing to attack after the Matoran stopped, going as far as to call them pests and seemingly move to kill Jaller goes a bit far. While Tahu always struggled with violent and destructive tendencies, he also always had a heroic spirit, and I'm worried that him immediately moving to kill them will make his more noble moments harder to believe. He always knew his anger was a problem, and I can see him struggling with rage even after they stop, and definitely yelling at them. But just that last bit of him moving to kill feels like it takes his violent tendencies a bit further than they are in the original. Other than that bit though, his characterization is pretty good.
    At the very least, if you keep this direction with Tahu it'll be very important to place a lot of emphasis on his development as the series progresses, and show his journey to become more heroic and less impulsively violent. Which honestly with enough care and development, this interpretation of Tahu could be an incredibly powerful character arc! Just got to make sure you really give audiences a reason to "forgive" Tahu for how far he goes at first and show definitively how heroic the Toa of Fire can be.
    Again, this looks amazing, and I'm really excited for what you guys put out. Its so awesome to see how creative the fandom has become!

    • @BionicleIliad
      @BionicleIliad  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Happy to see you enjoyed the animatic.
      On the topic of Tahu's characterization, I wouldn't place too much stock on this being the endgame Tahu character. This is one snippet from early on in the show. Tahu's arc has depth and lots of complexities. I will say this is one of his most aggressive points, but his violent tendencies and brashness both get addressed through his arc. I can't wait for everyone to see the strong, protective, and considerate leader he becomes.
