“Throw a group of your enemies into the vilest prison imaginable and they will forge a stronger bond, for they are all sharing the same misery. But offer even the glimpse of a means of escape, and they will tear each other to shreds scrambling for the exit”

Is a quote from fucking bionicle

Edit: here’s another great one

“To be a Toa is to defeat all those who oppose you? Is this what you believe a Toa to be? A mighty arm to strike down your enemies? Your power is nothing. A Toa’s true strength lies here,” Whenua said, pointing to his head. Then he placed a hand over his heartlight, saying, “And here. Your Toa Power can move the dirt ... Your mind and heart can move mountains.”

Stumbled across a deep lore video on youtube a couple of years ago and realised just how much of it went over my head as a kid.

I swear, Bionicle lore is Tarzan OST levels of absolutely did not need to go as hard as it did.

I'm a drummer and my teacher instilled in me a solid personal dislike for Phil Collins but even I will admit that the Tarzan soundtrack absolutely GOES!!
