Not bad, not bad. Ackar isn't my favorite character or my favorite set, but they worked out his character pretty well in the movie, judging by this.

However, the highlight of this video for me was the extremely high-quality footage of the match between Vastus and Tarix. Seeing Tarix shrugging off Vastus's Thornax while Vastus leaped six feet in the air to dodge Tarix's was rather amusing.

I'd say he's more like (since he shrugged) "Eh, whatever."



~Biomancer~

Um, guys, if you're talking about TLR rather than this video, all your posts should go there instead.

So, moving posts...

In any case, I wish that in these character-promotional videos, they would actually show them with the Thornax, but of course those were developed kind of late.



~Biomancer~

Ah, so he isn't? Good. He never was very interesting to me.

However, I must ask... were Malum, any Zesk, Stronius, Kibraz, Scodonius, Crotesius, Telluris, Sahmad, Fero, or Perditus in the movie? I've been wondering this whole time how Berix, Gresh, Mata Nui, Kiina, Ackar, and Metus were all able to use the Thornatus... I assume it's a different Thornatus than the one belonging to Perditus?



~Biomancer~

I suppose Stronius appeared in a cameo, like assumed?

And as for Malum, I already know... or have guessed. I pieced it together from one or two conversations. I know a general outline of what to expect.



~Biomancer~

Several? Hm... is this the same problem as with the multiple Meti (plural of Metus ) and Raanus?



~Biomancer~

Ah good. I look forward to those "changes". (By the way, one of them isn't a green Agori with Metus's helmet, is it?)



~Biomancer~

Hm. Ah well, I've seen him/her in at least one comic, and I just wondered if he'd be in the movie.

But, of course, this is more suited to TOTLRT, no? (That is to say, The Official "The Legend Reborn" Topic.)



~Biomancer~

It's only natural. After all, where do you think these clips came from?



~Biomancer~

I don't doubt that these topics about The Legend Reborn sneak peeks will be viewed as antiquated curiosities once the movie is fully released. (Of course, that happens to most news...)



~Biomancer~

Not really, other than that I'm glad that they didn't put Ackar's most infamous line in this.

Ackar: --*BOOOM!*





~Biomancer~

I'd prefer that to what he actually says.

One thing I've noticed is that none of the characters have very good lines in the movie... at least, I think anyway, they didn't put their worst lines in these character-promotional videos.



~Biomancer~

If only LEGO could always tell the difference from awe-inspiring and awful, or famous and infamous...



~Biomancer~

But anyway, that certainly applies to Ackar and Kiina - the lines of the former, the voice of the latter.



~Biomancer~

What do you mean, "for once"?

I wonder if they'll do a Gresh promotional video...



~Biomancer~

Tomorrow is Monday the 14th, so it's possible; after all, every Monday, they've had something, and it's the day before the movie.



~Biomancer~

Or maybe they won't make a Gresh one; after all, he's not special enough for the day right before the movie.



~Biomancer~

Ah well, they probably figure it's close enough to movie-release-time to do away with the Monday tradition.



~Biomancer~

It's already been leaked across at least two websites; why does it matter anymore?



~Biomancer~

Yes, it has. But, of course, I won't watch it online: I don't like watching online videos anyway, I can't stay on for that long, and I don't want to ruin my surprise from watching it when I get the DVD.



~Biomancer~

@Sykura: An interesting view of the movie... what exactly was bad about Mata Nui?

@AF: Your voice would be garbled, too, if you had a Russian accent and an underbite.



~Biomancer~

@Sykura: I didn't think his voice was that bad, but I'm sure the rest of what you say is correct... unfortunately.

@AF: Heh, I don't want to look at it that way, but what other way is there to look at it?
