Spherus Magna Timekeeping 

Actually that is a good point and would help explain why there are 6 Metru's in the most important MU city.

I guess you could say it took no time

His powers affect material but not space, accelerating age but not motion; instead of a direct multiplication of time, he essentially causes the opposite of time-dilation. I will address the rest of your points some other day.

The length of a Magnan year is another variable entirely unrelated to the length of their days and hours. Mayb a topic for a future video? :)

@@Korohpu do you have a Mask of Clairvoyance by any chance? ;)

@Koropu perhaps. But generally when you mention a measurement of time, distance, volume, etc., you by default go to the real-world version unless otherwise specified.

I have plans for videos on this very topic, so stay tuned!

@@theknowledgetower208 alright then

I feel that there is one group of beings that is missing from the story, the ones who actually do the observation that the robot was built for. We get so much detail on everything else but we do not know how Mata Nui fulfills his duty.

The movies clearly depict them as 5-fingered though.

@@Korohpu the movies are beta-canon

​@@Korohpu uhm, actually... (takes deep breath, read at your own risk) : In legends of metru nui Krekka only has two fingers and a thumb per hand, while Makuta having five digits uses a shadow hand with only four (while other Makuta in the comics used four fingers for their shadow hands). In Web of shadow all Charakters except the Toa hordika have four digits, the Toa hordika being left with three digits post mutation. In the Legend reborn every single character including the Matoran and the great spirit robot also only have three fingers and one thumb per hand. Regarding the sets with the exception of mutran, the Toa Mata two finger hand? Irnakk Zamor hand? and Mctoran hand? all built hands used three fingers and one thumb (Axonn, Brutaka, Hydraxon toa mata nui and ultimate Dume. The combiners like the shadowed one or the gukko Makuta combiner also only had two fingers and one thumb, while Ancient of the same species had a finger extra. I figure there is no certain rule for hands, maybe hands were an extra ( looking at Gali mata and Mahri matoran) and Protodermians just switched between types depending on their tasks and preferences.

@@toafellha8130 Of course there's a huge variety in both sets & story, but I feel like what should have the most weight are Matoran (since they are the dominant species of the MU) and movie depictions (which imo are the most in-story accurate ones) (not TLR though because the models in that movie were decisively set-accurate).

@@Korohpu While I do prefer my mocs with five digits, I doubt there is a general truth/rule nor do I think singling out the Og movies' depictions is a sound basis for ruling out the theory. While I see why one might reject the games (Heroes four digits) or even sets, I can give you some lore examples in favor of divergence of hands even among matoran: - In the Ignition comics (first drawn by Stuart Sayger) no. 1 while speaking of the far gone past (prior Karzahni repair) the Matoran have claws/tools for hands, in no. 11 after Matoro's sacrifice, Matoran are once again shown with claws/drills/ tools for hands and even Turaga Vakama has a (minifigure) claw. BUT in the later more set accurate run (now by Leigh Gallagher) in no. 14 Pohatu creates a (human) five digits hand to grab Antroz and Turaga Dume has five digits in his depiction in no. 15. So maybe it doesn't really matter or its a local or cultural thing with the metru matoran requiring five digits to operate finer machinery, while the others are more flexible in the more rural/ wilder/ uncultivated lands of the MU. - In the dropped three finger island plot we get another point for knowledge tower's theory, plus the Great Spirit Robot and Toa Mata do share similarities in their body design - I think it's a tad strange to exclude TLR for set accuracy, while using the original trilogy with its liberties as the most accurate after all why do the Turaga have Bohrok Va body types, why do the Vakhi staff form part of their body wouldn't that hinder them from actually apprehending their targets or retrieving stolen goods? Why do Sidorak and Roodaka two complete different species carry their Rothuka on their backs exactly like the Hordika (can be seen well when Vakama gets command of the hord) ; while the mechanism would work for the hunchback hordika I strongly fear Rodaka's "hair" would get in the way, and lastly all the Toa magically teleport their tools out of their backs, especially Matau's wings on their own, that's a neat power mentioned nowhere else. - Then we have single cases of matoran experimenting with themselves, mainly the Nynrah, a special case could be gatherer who added to his armor,... ... and of course most noteworthy the Tohunga rebuilding themselves after defeating the Bohrok... Is it really that far fetched that the Matoran Anatomy might VARY, did their programming ever stop them from adapting? I think that would be all for the case of pluralism of hands among just matoran and Co. in the lore. Another interesting story aspect is the devolution of the Mahri Matoran. Due to the Pit Mutations they reverted back undoing the damage Karzahni inflicted, maybe they depict the purest baseform of the matoran. They use the same arm pieces as the Toa Mata who also originate from the dawn of time and like them their arms end in tools (like Sayger's matoran). The only other beings that use that arm piece are the Vakhi, who in the movies are depicted without hands. All the sets have the commonality of connecting the arm directly to Tools. Thinking of no hands ... that's another commonality they share with Sidorak and Roodaka in set form. So maybe it truly is up to preference/Assignment or they can switch, after all the Toa Mata regrew their organic components after awakening and if one can switch between faces/Kanohi why not hands, after all bionicle are modular (Kaita and Nui forms). Now I'll be eagerly awaiting your rebuttal and maybe you can answer me this: What are Pohatu Mata's Hands after all he already has his reinforced foots as tools. 😁

I think you are really going to like a video I have coming up 😉 (admittedly it's not going to be uploaded for about 4 months, but hey, one to look forward to)

​@theknowledgetower208 Well dang considered me subscribed. Loved that Thornax fruit vid you did by the way.
