I've gotten a plot bunny that in stories / AUs where Mata Nui's awake, one of the topics he's no-nonsense / strict about is people blaming themselves / others for their mistakes. This is partly inspired by discussions with @mothnem about the Great Cataclysm.

The Toa Metru could have made less mistakes? Yes, they could have. Also: Mata Nui was already sick and very late in chosing them. He'd been sick for decades at this point, slowly weakening. Teridax already controlled Metru Nui in secret, had the remaining Toa Mangai killed except for Lhikan, and captured hundreds of matoran.

There were no toa left to guide the Toa Metru after Nidhiki and Krekka captured Lhikan.

This left the work maintaining the city = the Core Processor undone and less places that could syphon off the power overload. The Toa Metru had no idea that he would put Mata Nui into a coma - there was no information about that -, nor that he even could. They had little to no chance to stop him, powerful as he was.

Except for very few, nobody knew that this work kept Mata Nui's body alive. Or that Metru Nui was part of his brain. Nobody had anything to cure the virus putting him to sleep.

There's also no telling if the GSR would still have failed on the way to Bara Magna, stranded in space- or crashed onto the planet even if they had stopped the power overload.

Things were long in motion before the Toa Metru ever came to be as a team. They were not at fault for the Cataclysm, the damages wrought to their former home, or his coma. Agonizing / feeling guilty over it doesn't help anybody.

Edit: And others blaming the Toa Metru doesn't help, either.

I have ideas for the Toa Nuva, Toa Mahri, and Toa Hagah, too, but less concrete.

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.
