I feel like outsiders to the Bionicle series really need to meet the films on the level you were expected to meet them at, which is understanding that these all come with a few years worth of lore and worldbuilding at minimum and are only one part of a multimedia story. I also think comparing the visuals to the highest prestige animated films to them when it comes to the visuals is wildly unfair

one of the many reasons to insist upon chronological timelines is that it's much, much harder to scroll forever if you can catch up with yourself. if you can run out of tumblr because you reach yesterday, that is a good and helpful prompt to do something else.
Arifureta is probably the single most blatant wish fulfillment show for edgy adolescents that I've ever seen.
"Oh, look at me, I used to be a mild mannered nerd who got picked on all the time but still did my best to be a good boy, but then I was horribly BETRAYED, and now I'm a dark and brooding badass with a robot arm, an eyepatch, and a sick coat with infinity+ guns and a motorcycle and all the kickass powers in the world, but I don't care about anyone else (except when I do) because I'm a dark and brooding loner, and there's also a whole menagerie of hot women following me everywhere who have fallen head over heels in love with me despite me being a totall asshole, but I don't care, that's how cool I am!"
Also, the CGI for the monsters is just laughably atrocious, just the worst.
The show is bad (as someone who enjoyed it). What makes up for that in my opinion is that the cringe is intentional. (The author's screen name is "Chuuni Lover") And this gives the entire story a more honest feeling than others of it's kind

I don't think it's unreasonable for our public officials to be expected to prove they're alive and not in a coma to be able to retain their office.
If someone were, as a random example, say hospitalized for over two weeks with no explanation, I think that should automatically trigger a special election to replace them.
If you're still able to do your job, then prove it. And if you're not, then you're actively obstructing democracy by not stepping down.
Which is to say, that if a public official were to pass away or into a coma, and their handlers choose to obfuscate that fact, this should be seen as intentionally obstructing democracy.
And there should be, you know, consequences for the people who would do such a thing.

The thing is you can have a grassy lawn or even a golf course without it being an ecological disaster, you just have to a: be cool about having the occasional non-grass plant in the mix and b: be willing to live in a climate that supports grass without irrigation.
I always thought that golf as a sport should be adapted to the local native landscape. I think this will encourage regional pride when local golfers completely trounce visitors at Swamp Golf, Desert Golf, Forest Golf, etc. Rich tourists will be pressured to travel extensively to experience all forms of golf, instead of staying in their backyard country club golf courses. Internet discourse will probably somehow get worse but I think this is a small price to pay.
We really don't know a lot about these guys, which is a shame. They are, after all, long term slaves of The Makuta whom have been subject to uncountable atrocities in the process. We know next to nothing about their language, their culture, their religious beliefs or understanding of their cosmos.
Still, I think we can come to some conclusions about their overarching timeline sequence.
Let's get the easy one out of the way in the first post.
The Visorak were created by Makuta Chirox. He was, by all accounts, very pleased with this.
So. What in Karzahni is the Zivon?
For those who don't well remember; the Zivon is a massive scorpion Kaiju which has, on multiple occasions, devoured a majority of the Visorak Horde.
It is a Kaiju so powerful, so unstoppable, so irresistible, that even in a setting as saturated with OP super-warriors as Bionicle, in the tens of thousands of years that The Zivon has existed, the only way anyone has come up with to make it stop laying waste to everything in its path is by trapping it in an alternate dimension.
If âThe Zone of Darknessâ ever had native life in the past, it doesnât anymore.
In canon, we are told that the Zivon is the "natural predator" of the Visorak. Now, we learn this long before we learn about the roll of the Makuta in the ecology of the Matoran Universe, and thus the distinctly a-standard way anyone in the setting would consider the concept of a "natural predator."
But suffice to say, by normal definitions the Visorak aren't naturally occurring. So what in the mind of Tren Krom is the Zivon?
Well as many of us will remember, Chirox has a rival.
A more talented, but also genuinely and dangerously unhinged rival.
As I have proposed elsewhere before; creating an enormous, invincible Scorpion Kaiju, which neither he nor anyone else can control, is precisely Makuta Mutran's style.
From this, we may conclude that the Zivon comes second in the timeline.
We know Mutran made the Mountain of Xia, a literal living pet rock he accidentally left on the island that eventually grew to immense size and got a taste for Vortixx
So not only is making a destructive kaiju that has a craving for sapient species something that fits Mutran's purview
âBecause the truth is, tech doesnât have an image problem. It doesnât have a message problem. It has an intention problem. Whatâs wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasnât successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. Whatâs wrong is that heâs trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product thatâs designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isnât that you havenât told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.â

Going to have to keep inventing further ways to say "ceasefire" for every time the US and Iran conflict pauses momentarily, but the terms have got to escalate in peacefulness to imply that some progress is being made in negotiations.
