      He might have turned out good if the LITERALLY the first person he met hadn't been Makuta Teridax. It seems like he was always just a bit selfish, but I like to think it wouldn't have been so bad the second time around.

      @@AL4RC0NR4MO5 me too, I even wonder about the other creatures of mata-nui & sphereios-magna!
      We had the rahaga (toa turned turaga-rahkshi hybrids, temporarily for a long time), but how would the villagers and and heroes be in response to the sudden response of new villagers & toa with good intentions from bohrak, rahkshi, vaki, and skaldic?(Etc.)?!?
      I think this would make a good new next-generation bionicle story plot! “Will there be Unity or Rivalry” would be the plot & main quote of this sudden shift.
      As for how it started?… an experiment by what remains of mata-nui knowledge of the cultures of other world & testing coexistence?!? or a remaining makuta’s experiment? or a test by the great-beings?… or a rivalry created by all three or more?!? “Will there be Unity or War?”

    I always thought it was forboding when they throw the infected koli balls to sea, Ahkmou leaves a sign that says "Gone fishing" which made me think that he was actually going fishing to get the infected koli balls back! Probably not what happened but that's what it made me think

    Contrary to a lot of the fandom, I'm actually glad Ahkmou never turned into a Toa of Shadow. It would be cool to have a Shadow Toa, but Ahkmou is more endearing as an evil Matoran character who was evil without having to be corrupted. Also, I remember Greg saying that Ahkmou never got punished for the Comet Kolhii balls, which sounds silly, but if you think about it he could just claim he was tricked by Makuta.

      Gavla actually didn't change much as a shadow matoran, she was happy that the makuta actually valued her and loathed being turned back into an Av-Matoran. She probably would've joined them if they asked her, even if they didn't drain her light

      @boogaloobender3462 Actually, in one of the Greg Posts, he says that's not the case, per se. She was just as brainwashed/forced as the other Shadow matoran, and she wasn't bad or evil before, but she was friendless, and her resistance to be cured is that while as shadow she though she felt useful for something, or "belonged" somewhere, even if it was a fake feeling that would have hurt her on the long run.
      If you want a Matoran that was the same as their original element or as shadow, you want Vultraz. Who was just as awful before as after he became shadow.

    my guess is that Ahkmou probably got thrown in prison after the final battle. That's what I'd do. It was one thing to work under coercion for the Dark Hunters, another for him being brainwashed on Mata Nui, but excepting becoming the leader of Metru Nui during Teridax's reign and not helping the resistance, that 3rd one is him going too far as a traitor. I'd have loved it if Ahkmou had been turned into a Shadow Matoran. Would have been pretty cool for his story.

    Despite having infected kanohi and shadow matorans, he was the only matoran willfully supported the makuta. If only we saw him turned into a shadow toa and maybe redeem him self as a toa of stone and shadow to aide the order of Mata nui.
    Also the blackface thing is a major stretch and sounds like people want to start a flame war.

    I've always liked the idea that Ahkmou had been exempt from the matoran sphere plan and was willingly on board with Teridax's plan, hence why he was able to infiltrate Po-Koro so easily and spread infected kohlii balls around (and why Teridax nominated him as "Turaga" when he took over).

    • @boogaloobender3462
      @boogaloobender3462 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Teridax didn't actually intend for it to happen. He wanted to erase the Matoran's memories and then brainwash them when they became blank slates, but his plan was thwarted by the Toa Metru. Ahkmou was the only Matoran he could actually execute the plan with, because his sphere fell off the transport.
