I think I've figured something out, about why the discussion over a possible Bionicle G3 is kinda split a few different ways the way it is. At its core, there are two main desires for it that everyone shares, but that are somewhat inherently conflicting with each other:

1: We all want more Bionicle, comfortably familiar, the way it was when we were kids; the nostalgic desire.

2: We also all want new Bionicle, fresh and surprising, like when a new wave and new story year would begin; the discovery desire.

Of course, there are some people who don't have as much the discovery desire, and just would want Bionicle to be re-released the exact same way it was before. And there are some people who either reject the discovery desire, or simply don't trust it, and don't want Bionicle to return at all because it would be too different, and in their eyes worse for it. I disagree with those stances, personally, but I can somewhat understand the latter at least.

But setting those aside, the two other main camps I've seen seem to arise from inverse interpretations of how to resolve the conflict between nostalgic desire and discovery desire.

In one, the nostalgic desire is for a return to the exact same story and characters (and often, style of building) we left off on, while the discovery desire exhibits in wanting that story to continue, both to tie up the loose ends still hanging despite Journey's End and to introduce new ideas, or ideas we know were planned but didn't get to properly appear. Basically, the completionist path.

In the other, the nostalgic desire is to wipe the slate clean and go back to basics, have more-or-less the same story told again from the beginning; while the discovery desire is in letting that same basic premise branch off in a different direction, unbound by the same established rules and world as G1. (And often, being a bit more open to a system-based approach to sets and stuff.) IE the transformative path.

(I do feel like the transformative approach is simply the most likely route for Lego to take were a G3 to happen, regardless of whether it's the best, (though I also do think that it is) but unfortunately G2 trying to do that and bungling it hard in a lot of ways, makes it look a lot less welcoming on paper.)

I don't know where I'm going with this, just thought it was an observation worth sharing. I guess, I simultaneously feel like this may offer a way to bridge the gap between those two approaches given the common underlying reasoning, but also like it just shows why it might not be able to be bridged, given how the two approaches are still running in opposite directions at the end of the day.

Why couldn't G2 capture a new audience? Poor story communication.

New video out on my channel, check it out in the first reblog if you want. In this one, I explore my ideas on why Generation 2 was cancelled, and they mainly have to do with the fact that it just couldn't get newer kids to come to it like the original did.

I think it was for a couple reasons, such as being way more expensive and facing competition not just from more Lego themes, but also from video games, apps, and electronic kids' entertainment.

But I would argue the biggest internal reason was the G2 failed at story communication in some key ways that kept it from being hooking.

And this takes the form of both the story itself, and the advertising. They just couldn't convince new kids to get invested in the story, and without that investment in the story and characters, the toys didn't sell. Honestly, I believe in their attempt to avoid the mistakes of the past and not make it too complex, they stripped the story of a lot of its depth. Now, I think depth and complexity are different things. The complexity is all the number of characters and plot events and lore tidbits that a fan has to catch up on. Complexity is what makes it hard for new fans to join in. But the depth is the themes, the atmosphere, the characters, and the mystery. The things that make you want to hear more and get invested. And while G1 was both complex and deep, G2 was neither complex nor deep, and that made it unalluring.

And the real problem is that there wasn't enough story content produced or advertised. Early on, it was really just the 2015 animations, and while those were good, they were 90-second shorts, not nearly enough for a franchise like this. There were books and graphic novels that went deeper, but they were barely advertised, and I'm not sure if anyone who wasn't going out of their way to find them actually saw them. The Journey to One tv-show was a good idea, but by the time it came out, Bionicle was already selling so poorly it Lego was probably already making plans to cancel.

All that to say, if Lego had allowed more and better story content for G2, I think it would've done much better. At least enough that it could've had its full 3 years and not cancelled abruptly after 1 and a half years.
