While I agree with the basic premise of this video, I think you are ignorant of what old Lego is and when it died. You are nostalgic for themes that came out well after Lego sold its soul for the licenses, and were just ripoffs of earlier in-house themes. One of your complaints about licensed theme is that Lego doesn't need to hire writers to make a story because the story already exists as a movie or whatever, but back in my day, the true kino themes like Classic Space and Classic Castle had very little to zero official narrative or storyline which gave complete creative freedom to the Lego enjoyer. Your precious Bionicle, and Atlantis themes took the inventive responsibility away from the children because apparently Lego thinks your generation to too dumb to come up with your own ideas to play with their toys. Also Power Miners and its predecessor Rock Raiders both sucked.
>>11644143I can see where this persepective comes from, and can see the merits of it. Bionicle always felt like it was setting up for being a large IP, rather than focusing on the toys.Then lego realized: "wait we don't need to make IP, We can just buy it"
>>11644143>Rock RaidersRock Raiders were awesome though...
>>11644143>Power Miners suckedkys, they were the best
>>11643988Lego's only dead to you because you let it stay dead. If you loved Lego that much, you'd use it's versatile brick system to recreate what was lost. With that said, I pretty much stopped buying because i was sick of the way they advertised minifigs being superposable. And the part where they stopped making special heads or other large parts
>>11644676Holy projection anon
lego went downhill after 1998
>>11644681you deserve it doe
I'm almost 40 and I would have thought Ninjago was the coolest fucking shit imaginable as a kid
>>11644143Rock Raiders were awesome, you faggot.You're right about everything else though.
>>11644676based, keep up the good work
>>11645544Ninjago would've hit the same nerve that Exo-Force did for me when I was a kid, the people who grew up with Ninjago are pretty lucky. This set would've had me looking at it all Christmas, dreaming of getting it as a present in spite of the price.
>>11644005You've been seething since 2001, when are you going to move on.
>>11644143>Classic SpaceStolen valor fake fan detected. 100% this is some young millennial who got into the "different colored Classic Spacemen minis" collector fad from Benny's Spaceship or something, and thinks he can farm izzat by shitting on kino middle-era themes as insufficiently lego. Absolutely disgusting.
Most people seem to agree that Lego and TLG as a company suck now. And while there are some major points normies and MOCers mostly agree on, normies tend to hate on the wrong things about modern Lego. Like, I often hear normies complain about specialized pieces in Lego sets. Which is pretty weird because, while the system has improved a lot over the years with a lot of technical elements making more complex and detailed builds possible, modern Lego sets rarely use unique and specialized pieces anymore. And when they do they're mostly just minifig accessories. It was the 90s, the 2000s and maybe even the early 2010s when Lego went crazy with specialized elements. It's like normies think anything that isn't a basic brick is a specialized element. They'd call a basic Technic liftarm or a rounded System slope "specialized elements". The other thing is that they think now you can only build what you can see on the box art without any space left for customization and creativity. Which might be sort of the case with some of those really cheap and small sets, but adult normies tend to buy those large and expensive ones with a shitton of pieces, so I don't really understand why they think this is the case. Also, I think the existence of Lego Classic and Lego Creator (with those 3in1 sets) proves both of these points wrong. But I imagine most normies are unaware of the existence of these themes, because they aren't actually interested in Lego, they are only interested in the Lego version of Popular License™ which they only build once then display on a self until they get bored with it.>>11644143>you are wrong because you're nostalgic for a different era than what I feel nostalgia forlol
>>11643988I miss the old Lego figures, I hate how over detailed the modern ones have become
