I'm reading about the history of Mata Nui
My mind is being fucked
Like Jesus Christ this is crazy huge in terms of scale.
If you get through all of it can you give a summary, because I spent hours reading the lore and eventually gave up.
He's a giant being that was created by the Great Beings.
His body contained the entire Matoran Universe.
Bionicle as a franchise, from the Toa Metru, up until the end of the Toa Phantoka lines, took place inside Mata Nui's body.
The Toa Mata/Nuva lines took place on the Island of Mata Nui. An island that was created after Makuta Teridax betrayed Mata Nui and put him into an eternal slumber.
Mata Nui's slumber means he literally fell over on a planet, in the sea, and an island formed over his face.
Note: The Toa Metru line is a prequel line to the Toa Mata/Nuva. It takes place before the Great Cataclysm.Him falling over because of Teridax's betrayal was known as the Great Cataclysm.
After years of shenanigans within the Matoran Universe, the Toa Nuva travel to Karda Nui (the centre of the Matoran Universe, which is basically Mata Nui's heart). Karda Nui is also where the Toa Nuva (Toa Mata at the time) were created.
Anyway. They travel there to wake Mata Nui up using the Kanohi Ignika (The Mask of Life), which was retrieved by the Toa Mahri, at the sacrifice of Toa Matoro.
They succeed, but not really.
The woke his body up, but Teridax took over Mata Nui's body before they woke him up.
Teridax had kicked Mata Nui out of his body and transferred Mata Nui's consciousness into the Mask of Life.
Teridax, now in control of Mata Nui's body, and in turn, the Matoran Universe, ejected the Mask of Life into space, with Mata Nui trapped inside of it.
The mask lands on Bara Magna, where the Mask of Life forms a body out of sand for Mata Nui.
A bunch of stuff happens on Bara Magna.
Mata Nui discovers an old body that was the prototype of his body/the Matoran Universe.
He uses this body to fight Teridax, who had tracked the Mask of Life to Bara Magna.
He defeats Teridax in a big robot dude on robot dude fight, and reforms Spherus Magna in the process (Spherus Magna was one huge planet that broke apart. The biggest chunk being Bara Magna).
The Matoran Universe/his body is heavily damaged, and so the Matoran Universe inhabitants leave the Matoran Universe, and make their new home on Spherus Magna, and integrate with the inhabitants of Spherus Magna, the Agori and Glatorians.
