* MagnificentBastard: Makuta; Makuta Teridax; especially after the end of the Matoran saga. The below quote actually does him justice on this matter.

And to a lesser extent, the 941 of them hurt."

Shadowed One.One, but not to the extent of Teridax.



* ViewerGenderConfusion: Nobody has any TertiarySexualCharacteristics (besides Roodaka), so I dare you to ID one of the girls without resorting to the color-coding - and even that's hardly foolproof (see Vezok, Takadox, Gorast, Krika, etc.).

* VillainDecay: [[spoiler:Tuma is utterly upstaged in ''The Legend Reborn''. He only has two scenes (one with no lines, and one where he gets his ass kicked), and ultimately comes off as merely TheDragon to the Agori traitor.]]
** VillainDecay: Started out as some of the most dangerous foes the Toa have ever faced. By the end everybody kills them by dime a dozen.

Many people say that the series jumped it after 2009-2010's DoingInTheWizard, some people however say it happened somewhere 2007-2008 while others say it happened after the revelation of there being more than one Makuta. There are also people who says that the Shark Jumping went as far back as 2004-2005. So the thing is, there probably was a shark jump, but no one can decide '''when''' it happened.

* JumpingTheShark: This is a dodgy subject. Many people say that the series jumped it after 2009-2010's DoingInTheWizard, some people however say it happened somewhere 2007-2008 while others say it happened after the revelation of there being more than one Makuta. There are also people who says that the Shark Jumping went as far back as 2004-2005. So the thing is, there probably was a shark jump, but no one can decide '''when''' it happened.
