Bionicle Easter Egg Hunt (episode)

BUT THAT DAY IS NOT TODAY

***Bionicle Easter Egg Hunt*** is the first episode of *Bionicle*. It was released on 13th April 2017.

## Synopsis

Takua welcomes the Toa and Makuta teams to the event and shows a piece of paper stating the rules. Both teams rush off to uncover the eggs on his mark.

Rawzak arrives in the centre of the room, complaining about the difficulty of finding the eggs. Suddenly, he spots one in a boot and steps forward to collect it, however Cyphor blocks him, declaring that the egg belongs to him. They then engage in combat.

Meanwhile, Zardok finds another egg, however an Abductoid attacks him. Arvak hobbles over and gloats about his victory.

Elsewhere, Intor, uninvolved with the hunt, finds an egg, wondering where it came from. Vorcan suddenly drops on top of him, claiming the egg for the Toa. Rahkshi then drops on top of *him* and exploits his gullibility to set his body ablaze with her Fire Sword. She then collects the egg.

We then return to the fight between Rawzak and Cyphor, with the two exchanging incredibly cliché dialogue with each other. Cyphor appears to get the upper hand, but Rawzak says a corny line which wins him the victory. He then claims the egg.

Meanwhile, Rahkshi intercepts Arvak and the two clash. Rahkshi easily wins, retrieving his egg. Rawzak then drops on top of her, hurting his shin in the process. Takua comments on the fact that he now has acquired all three eggs, but suddenly Intor arrives and leaps on Rawzak. He then cuts off Vorcan’s arm and Takua exclaims that the Makuta have won the hunt. The credits roll.

## Quotes

“Come to papa!”

- **Rawzak**

“I believe that egg belongs to me.”

- **Cyphor** overestimates how threatening he is.

“(Groans)”

- **Intor** learns how to speak in brackets.

“I will die one day... BUT THAT DAY IS NOT TODAY!!!”

- **Rawzak** is overdramatic.

## Errors

- Rawzak complains about how hard it is to find eggs, with an egg directly 5cm in front of him. He’s even looking in its direction. Is he blind?

- For the entire episode, Zardok’s Missile Launcher has nothing loaded into it.

- When Intor appears near the end, Takua comments on the event as if Intor is just some random bystander unaffiliated with the Makuta.

- Vorcan just shows up at the end for no apparent reason other than so Intor can enact his revenge on him. Last we saw him, he was writhing on the floor after being horrifically burnt, yet now he’s both in an entirely different location *and* is completely unharmed?

- Once Vorcan appears, Intor threatens him and activates his weapon, with both Vorcan’s location in the previous shot and the direction Intor faces implying that Vorcan is directly in front of him, however Vorcan’s arm is plainly visible on the right of the screen, completely ruining the effect.

- Arvak speaks weirdly eloquently in this episode, saying things like “Oh, Zardok, you can be a fool sometimes” and even exclaiming “Oh dear” when he’s about to get beaten to a pulp.

- One of the most egregious errors in this episode is definitely the fact that the Toa undeniably won but were robbed of a legitimate victory for no apparent reason. The rules specifically state “the team who gets all the eggs first will win”. Isn’t that *exactly* what Rawzak did? He acquires all three eggs with Takua right next to him, yet Takua for some reason doesn’t count this and waits for Intor, someone who wasn’t even a participant of the hunt, to steal them, and then declares a victory to the opposing team.

It’s like if a football team scored a goal that won them the game, but then a random audience member ran onto the pitch after the match ended and kicked the ball into their goal, with the referee declaring that, due to this, the other team won!
