NO The Halo Tv Show Season 2 HAS NOT GOTTEN BETTER 

Remember when Reach fell and I took your armor? What a prank! Haha what a goof! Thank you halo the tv series to show us there’s no armor that can compare to plot armor.

Imagine Halo but without: Sergeant Johnson Pillar of Autumn The Flood Mjolnir Armor Halo I give you the Halo TV Series #LightTheRings

the problem is people keep watching it, reacting to it, engaging with it so it makes the executives think they can make more

I need to get this off my chest: I’m not even a hardcore Halo fan, but I can’t stop thinking that tv show producers and writers freaking hate everything about the game, including soundtrack and sfx. Think of all the decisions to deviate as far as possible from the original material. After all the butt pellet freedom arch it wouldn’t make no sense for Master Chief to allow an IA to be shoved into his brain. That’s how you get rid of Cortana, but just in case, add a gazillion original characters with storylines that somewhat connect just to support Master Chief character development. I was willing to accept Johnny Ringworld sporting his guns with a tight t-shirt for half of S02E04 while surviving without armor or weapons before the “Suit up” moment. But the “he took our armor” made me lose it. It’s such a despicable and lame excuse, it looks like something thrown at the last minute with a couple of lines written over the script. Also, the proper name for this tv show should be Coitus Interruptus: “MASTER CHIEF IS SURROUNDED BY ELITES! But they decided to just chill and walk away…” THE SPARTANS ARE READY FOR ACTION LOOKING FOR COBALT TEAM! Just found an automatic door banging. MASTER CHIEF IS HAVING A BAR FIGHT WITH ONI AGENTS! No he’s not. MASTER CHIEF AND… Arbiter, maybe? ARE HAVING A PLASMA SWORD FIGHT! No, it is not him and they won’t. I’m telling you, they hate Halo and their sole purpose is to disappoint the fans.

"oh no, there will be chaos and panic on a planet we are planning to allow to be glassed in a few days" - halo tv show logic

1:37 what's funny about the helmet camera thing to prove there were elites is that they use helmet cameras in the first season for the covenant translator

Its crazy its got a 7/10 on imdb... but all the higher ratings are from people who admit they never played any of the games

Anyone else think that the cut Scene's from the games are 1000× better than the show its self. I'd rather watch them than this absolute shit 😂

Everyone asked for more Master Chief in Spartan Armor with Helmet on ... We get a whole episode of battle without either .... PERFECT!

My heartfelt condolences to anybody who enjoyed the game or has even just heard of it.

"Cortana gets captured". WHATTTT?????!!! Of all the lore they bastardized, this has to be by far the worst offense.

The answer to all your questions: the show runners and writers are all hacks who are allergic to nuance or anything that might portray ruthless military organizations in a positive light. We know ONI and Halsey did shady things, they work in a moral gray zone, but the show runners are going out of their way to paint them as complete incompetent villains. Not a single one of these characters makes sense

This isn't HALO,it's an attempt at crowbaring HALO into an approximation of the series that they actually wanted to apapt... MASS EFFECTS.

This show isnt about loyalty to Halo or its story or its fans. They produce this garbage knowing exactly what they're doing. Then they (try to) gaslight Halo fans into submission. Race swapping characters. Changing the personality and motivations of characters. All because they don't want you to have a since of heroism or stoicism in your mind. Thats why they take chiefs helmet off. So you cant imprint yourself into the suit, so to speak. So when they spend the big money on making these types of shows know that their goal is demoralisation. Apply the same to 343s games.

DUDE, thank you for this. All I have seen is "this is finally what we have been waiting for" thought I was going crazy. This was such a disappointment no one wants to see chief fight without armor

Can someone please explain why only Chief and Makee can interact with forerunner technology? Has this always been the case in the games? I thought Johnson and Miranda could, which is why Johnson wanted Miranda to kill them both at the end of Halo 3 so they couldn't be forced to activate it? Can someone please clarify?

thank you for pointing out the covenants inconsistency. This is been a biggest problem when watching the show everyone praises the action but me who has played the video games and read some of the books know that the covenant are 30 times smarter than this entire show

You can't say this shit on reddit...they will downvote you 😂😂😂

Like Assassins Creed, I just ignore what they release and I only enjoy the good stories that I once played

The actor for makee overacts the sangheli languages so much lol

No one is talking about how they killed all the black guys in one episode 😂

I refuse to believe this show exists

Keep these videos coming. Please keep these videos coming I appreciate it

Now there's only one way for this show to please the fans of the game which is to be cancelled.

Wait, a blind Spartan? How does that work, cause unless there's something in his armor that gives him sight, I don't think he's gonna be as effective of a solider as other Spartans. >They kill Captain Keyes on Reach Fuck off! I'm so tired of the lame ass excuse of "it's a different timeline/universe, so it's ok that we do things differently". If you're supposed to be adapting a story, just adapt the story faithfully. If you want to change something, you better make damn sure the change is to make the story better, otherwise, fuck off. Even if the change isn't better or worse, just different, don't. I came here to watch Halo, not some shitty, generic sci-fi slop that vaguely resembles Halo. At that point, it's just an officially sanctioned bootleg as far as I'm concerned.

The show writers need to play the games and read the books

There is no story in Halo TV. I mean that in their own documents, likely they don't focus on any central plot or narrative. (ranting) There's a huge dearth of shit ghost-writers who are trying to make a living shopping around scripts like this. If you talk to recent-grads of writing programs, some of the ideas about "good story telling", creative writing, general English has drastically changed. So much of what I hear coming out of these new art/media schools is trash, and it's all being trickled up into film and television because the scripts are interchangeable, require little creativity, and only require production money and slaves. And we're getting a bunch of young people that are often too timid to correct seniors despite seniors themselves being aweful. Good storytelling is beaten out of young people. So when you see things like "Why is this emotional control stuff there"? In industry, "sci-fi" is being requested even more (despite all the high profile flops) in scripts, and generic shit tropes like this are being pounded out at a totally different scale then before because new hires in the industry are under immense pressure to succeed and just even live and producers lost the entire plot of foundational film making decades ago. Too many people who can't write are typing stuff and making nonsense, and the rest are using still shitty not-really-AI to make scripts. Literally, sometimes it's starting with awful tropes first (we want a diverse cast...and a lgbt character...and a love scene...and family drama...and it's like "ok but where's the fucking sci-fi or even a plot"?). Again, there's no story in this tv show. It's just these stupid narrative checkboxes and however the directors can move the scene from one checkbox to another. Scripts are all looking like this, and criticisms/critiques of scripts look like this. Lots of really awesome stuff being passed around, even today. Standalone scripts that are like "That's the sci-fi I want". But they aren't "diverse" enough (I mean...not even true they just mean THEIR diversity), or "anime" enough (this one comes up embarrassingly often (just not for me)), not wall-to-wall action, or "we compared it to this shoggoth monstrosity called public perception and we think you should chain yourself to its teeth".

They couldn't even learn the first step which is keeping chiefs helmet on lmao it will never get better

They literally show in season 1 that the Spartan helmets are indeed recording, so that makes the season 2 plot even more sad.

You suffered through this show so thousands could be spared from it. Thank you sir.

so the plot of episode 1 and 2 was that people didn't believe chief when he said elites were on the planet? but in halo one a marine helmet recorded everything that happened in the library. why wouldn't chief's helmet be able to do that?

Thank you for doing this. I don't know how anyone can enjoy this show with the writing and nonsensical plot. They've turned Halo into a generic sci Fi show. How can anyone been okay with this?

They're using AI to write this show. It's the only explanation....

I really have to wonder wether all the people defending this show in the comment section aren’t paramount chatbots

The plot direction reminds me of those shit Sci Fi channel monster movies except with a waaaaaay bigger budget lol

8:28 "For some reason a platoon of marines goes unnoticed by the spartan and tries to arrest them" This is unbelievably bad writing on so many lvls but here's a few 1. The motion tracker on your hud in the game that shows the location of friend and foe is not a game mechanic it's cannon that they are built into the suites meaning unless every single one of those fodder were cloaked they should have lit up the radar on all the Spartans like a Christmas tree. 2 you could send a hundred marines to arrest one spartan and there is still a significant chance that 1 spartan depending on who they were could kill them all and walk away let alone a fire team of Spartans this few men against this many Spartans? It's a guarantied suicide mission for those men it's easier to believe that the guy who sent them was trying to get those marines killed indirectly than it is to believe they thought those marines stood a freakin snowballs chance in hell. 3. even leaving out the literal hud providing eyes in the back of your head Spartans have significantly heightened senses, more sensors in their suites and on top of all of that are enhanced from cybernetics in cannon if one of the two dozen men there so much as breathed a little too hard the Spartans would have known and this is all of course leaving out the fact that they are being lead by THE MASTER FUCKING CHEIFA MAN WITH CANNONICAL PLOT ARMOR AND THE GREATEST WARRIOR ALL OF HUMANITY HAS TO OFFER!!! EDIT: Also mastercheif isn't a selfish whiny bitch he's a silent and contemplative man of action over words who has made himself as much as oni did the sole shield of the human species.

They keep showing Jimmy Rings' face!

I just re-watch the "we are odst" aka "the life" Trailer. a 3 minute trailer with no dialog and it's better than season 1 and 2 of the paramount "halo" show. Amazing, entertainment is evolving backwards.

I just noticed this: At 17:38, Jimmy Rings lets Perez pass her, only for him to try to beat her up the stairs... so even something so basic like going up the stairs is poorly executed.

And the flood is a virus that can be transferred by bites and scratches…. UGH FUCK MY LIFE

It's shit. It's like amazon and lotr. It's been desecrated.

Obviously cobalt team wasn't shot down and eliminated by the covenant. This version of the covenant are not confident enough to be able to kill Spartans. They were actually killed by TK troopers and clone troopers lead by crosshair. Look at their bodies, the wounds on their bodies are not from plasma burns, nah that would be simple and easy thinking. Instead, the wounds are from blaster bolts, probably from crosshair's sniper rifle.

The show is worse than season one which is really hard to do. They should’ve just done the mandolarian move and keep his Goddamn helmet on. Too much feelings which isn’t what master chief was about

The more negative everyone is the less support they will give to future projects. If you want more halo content and hope it will continue to get better then you have to at least support them trying otherwise we just get nothing....

after watching this video I subbed instantly

Bungie making the games: We didn't spend time figuring out who the Chief was or humanizing him, he's just a badass in a big chunk of armor you move around in. 343 and Paramount: We are humanizing the chief and he always has his helmet off Do the world a favor and delete this show from existence

Does anybody remember Stargate atlantis, Please tell me they did not just repurpose a scene from The attack on atlantis by the Rath, when I seemed to attack, I thought I was watching Stargate or is it just me

It got worse, that's not arguable either

I have played the game from when it first came out. I do enjoy the show but must agree some sub plots seem dumb. But to be honest is this version of Halo would be a more realistic one, with the political implications around the fall of reach, the oni leaving the Spartans to die because they know they can’t just control them. Sacrificing the whole planet of reach so not to waste the fleet in a un win-able fight. Those things seem more likely to happen if it were real events with humans susceptible to corruption and self preservation. The show has a long way to go and hopefully gets better.

Omg you are reading my mind ! I am loving the truth in your words ...

Great review!

"- He went to an escort AI to talk about her, this guy is a psycho". Dude you crack me up 😅

can you make a full season 2 review, i hate to ask you to punish yourself more but just one example: cortana being taken by the covenant was not what you think… just consider it

"This guy is a psyco" lmao

We need to stop watching the ahow for them to stop

Can't wait until SEASON 3!!! Love this series!!!

I liked the tv series, i have watched it twice.

You start to wonder, before the previous 343 execs got fired did they greenlight this TV show with paramount and crappy script out of spite of halo fans and the company before they left.

They couldn't even give us a hot Cortana, , sigh#

Great vid. I knew from the trailers that it wasn't going to be good.

I still don’t understand the necessity of the Korean plot.

13:07 - Rich folk, donation holders important people for fleet command need time to get their stonks out of the banks.

I am glad I stopped at episode 3 and started watching the new season of the Bad Batch. It’s a really good show and I would recommend any person who likes Star Wars to watch it.

looking through some of these comments makes me realize how dense we humans can be.

Chiefs pp was touched

Just wait until you see the next episode...

The whole video game series he was dope asf cuz he never takes his helmet off…every time I see clips of this show he never has it on

Just when I started feeling warm and fuzzy about the show...you HAD to bring logic!😂 Damm u.

id really like for them to rename master chief from the tv show to jimmy rings, would at least make the show salvageable if they didnt pretend this was master chief we were watching.

I imagine that Ackerson's plan was to isolate Kai from the other Spartans in order to get her to train his Spartan IIIs and also to sabotage the Spartan IIs and prove them disobedient and ineffective in order to convince the UNSC to continue funding his Spartan III program instead.

I have given up. We are never going to get a proper live action Halo show or movie. What a shame.

This is the BEST ever TV series ever made. This will win multiple emmy. and even Oscars

Also remember that marine chick was standing (yes standing !!!!!!) when she blasted the ship off to safety

I like how they mention the winter contingency but never tell the"wider audience" this is trash is made for. They mention evacuations but if the winter contingency is just that, why give it a stupid name? Just call it evacuation.

The only thing carrying this show is the halo theme, they did the same with the Witcher

Blind man kills a bunch of elites and a tank. "If I was riding that tank, this would've been an easy splatter kill". HAHA

Master Biceps!

Why…..why does this continue?

Why are you calling John, Jimmy? lol

No nod to noble team oh dear

Well, this takes subverting expectations to the next level.

Thank you! The scene where Chief is talking about the coin flip has gotta be the dumbest scene in the series so far.

Master cheeks has never been out his armor but this series which is not halo has done int made a regular action series

perez now is spartan III, someone tell me that she wont be noble 6 in the show

17:33 - The attack just happened 20 seconds ago and Granny is acting like she's been barricaded in for weeks. Seems like communication to actors and or just bad script writing at play.

i agree, a clear bait and switch, i feel like im watching witcher again

So nice seeing someone else be honest about this show. Your channel is bigger than mine but if you ever want to discuss this pile of crap with someone, I'd be down.

100% with you and agree

So bad I have to imagine "Master Cheif" with his armor and helmet voice always on. Which makes it slightly watchable.

This is a loss leader. It’s being used to bring traffic to Paramount’s streaming service. And pointing out issues with the show is pointless when this show is made by people who don’t care about the source material.

They should mix halo 2 and ce into one season then season 3 be halo 3 and end it off there

“She’s probably going to kill an elite or multiple,” try a brute chieftain lmao

If you belive that good for me. I am enjoying that.

I gave you a thumbs up just for the title

Halo TV show is NOT halo. This is just a cheap knockoff of the series and is not even canon. I’m sure after season 2 this show will be canceled.

Where was the grunts, elites with swords are acting like cannon fodder basic units,

I stopped watching Critics now I actually love the show! I'm enjoying it without all the negativity. My Uncle just started Season one and he loves it. Still gotta finish the last game. But people won't leave me alone because of Dead by Daylight.

I thought it was pretty clear it was a cover up. They didn't want to know the Covenant was that close. Scrub the armor, scrub the footage. Shut Perez up.

After episode 4, I'm done.

Great video, but I don't think elites being portrayed as being on the same level of spartans in capability went away after Halo 3 and the introduction of brutes. Elites are smart like spartans, and some of them are at that level, but in the books 13 year old spartans are destroying covenant facilities and John without his armor and no weapons fights an elite and it lasts about 3 seconds and ends with John snapping its neck.
