At the very least, it’s a totally feasible idea; Keetongu has the ability to literally see the good and evil in others after all. And I don’t think he suggested this just to ‘test’ the Toa, given this entire film they’ve been pushing against those transformations; I don’t think it’s matter of seeing if they can resist the temptation or not. There IS a sort of ‘temptation’ in giving into one’s primal urges, but aside from that, maintaining a balance with the beast within is also possible, and it’s definitely where the Rahaga are sort of left off before this was changed in the serials.

So yeah, I think that’s a cool idea; That some victims of the Visorak ultimately learned to embrace their Hordika forms, and make the most of them. They don’t want to be cured anymore because to them, there is nothing to be cured; Either because their form brings new abilities, and/or because they’re already comfortable in this body. I guess one could equate it to living with a disability or condition of some kind, although this isn’t one-to-one of course, and depends on individual examples; Some people are genuinely faster and stronger and want that, while still maintaining their minds.

Gavla choosing to return to normal and then regretting it could be an interesting option. The conflict between wanting to belong somewhere but also wanting to be who she is. The Makuta seemed to offer her that at the price of her moral principles. But, she now understands, it wasn't really love. It wasn't really acceptance, she was only a tool to them, maybe a source of amusement to see her tormenting and hurting her fellow Matoran.

She doesn't want to be evil. She doesn't want to be nice. She doesn't want to be lonely. She doesn't want to be used. She's not entirely sure she wants to be normal.
