I had envisioned them fighting against a cool background since I started the animation, eventually that ended up being the waterfall and ocean you see. Originally they were going to be in the snow, but I settled for a more tropical paradise.
Taking out the symbiote plot, this is the kind of thing I always imagined a Bionicle TV series being like, since the original Bionicle had a lot of lore, I would have loved to see a very faithful TV show adaptation based off of the original Bionicle toys, if it was ever made.
They'll never make one, because they refused to ever actually use the LEGO pieces for the CG models in the movies and also never included any choreographed fights in those either (with some very small exceptions).
Just noticed the symbiote covering part of Matoro's face has shrunk since he first had it in The Possession and when we last saw it in Storm of Fatality
Nuparu: "Suppressing the Symbiote was a mistake.." Matoro has controlled the symbiote power, to the extent where he uses his ice powers as Toa, and is not as influenced by its evil as Nuparu is. Nuparu embraced it, so it has spread and corrupted him further, making him more powerful than Matoro.
@@skeletex That makes sense. But it also shows that Matoro has a much stronger will than Nuparu. How easily Nuparu fell under Marduk's manipulations and welcomed the Symbiote while Matoro fought and learned to control it his own way... Speaking of which...glad to know Marduk is back, and the fact he is two beings makes things even more interesting.
I was hoping we would've seen more of Plasma after his fight in part 2, but sheesh! Him getting killed off like that is rough. Not that I'm complaining that we got back the original OPs, Matoro and Nuparu, but I wasn't expecting such a cruel fate for a guy who only had several minutes of free will. Regardless, I'm glad to see this continue and hope to see what happens next.
It's interesting you bring him up because originally he was going to play a more central role to the storyline. Matoro and Nuparu were actually not meant to come out until several episodes later, but since I don't have as much time to make these as I used to I decided to skip all the way to their fight to make sure it actually happens.
