This is Outrageous, this unfair, how can you have a season 2 if you're terrible. (The worst line in a worse Star Wars movie if you disagree look at Clone Wars 03 which takes place like 1 hour from the third movie but with worse action, visuals, and dialogue. Even some of the visuals and dialogue are the exact same)

how does paramount do so good with something like sonic, but fail miserably with halo

It’s especially funny considering that flares were used in Halo 3 on the Ark. You know the point in time when humanity was using every last resource they had

Reach had 6 use a flare.

Every game even has a flashlight on at least some of the UNSC weapons.

That trope only works if you make the ancient mcguffin interesting. What’s more interesting than the halo itself

maybe one of the forerunner ai? like mendicant bias. But i doubt the shows creators know any of the deep lore@@Nostripe361

​@@jaredelliott5778considering one of the creators explicitly said they dont care (i think they even went so far as to say they hated it but dont quote me on it) for the source material at all i guarantee they dont know it

What franchise am I describing mass effect or halo: protagonist lands on colony planet where humans have dug up artefact, humans attacked by aliens, aliens be killed and protagonist touch artefact that gives visions, protagonist is stopped from leaving base and has to go rogue to stop humanity killing event, protagonist also has space sex. It’s incredibly eye opening when you see that this shows script was initially supposed to be a mass effect show.

@@minimum7681 it’s the weird thing where studios don’t want to make the property but want the built in fan base to boost their ratings of a story they want to make. Then get confused when the fan base is angry that the show does nothing with the existing lore but makes the original show they wanted to make instead with cosmetics of the established series

They should have just turned contact Harvest into two seasons 🤦🏾

I mean... they kind of are? The insurrection exists for very legitimate reasons. The UNSC is not a very good organization. They will do pretty much anything to keep colonies under their thumb and were letting ONI commit atrocities well before the Covenant were known about. Remember the Spartan II's were made to fight other rebelling humans. Children were kidnapped by the hundreds and trained as child super soldiers, all sanctioned by the UNSC.

To be fair, 343 did the same...

To be fair UNSC is like that. They literally are a military dictatorship. And you can’t have a successful dictatorship without corruption.

exactly my dad who barely knows anything about the game and he said he liked season one and was really confused on why i didnt like it

My dad loves the show too! And he's very puzzled whenever I'm not hyped just as like he is.

The show just feels like a bad Halo fanfic, needless romance, random subplots, bad writing, and worse versions of memorable moments. It does make me want to go back and replay the games, so its working as cross promotion.

@@patchworkcat6932honestly they made Master Chief too human, he's supposed to slowly rediscover his humanity and barely having any as the games progress, this series is prequel. Is it's a bad AU setting

thats crazy cuz my dad also liked season 1 lmao, i guess all of our dads like the show

I think you need some help.

@thesomethingthatisntathing514 I also came when the armory guy told chief " Who else is gonna clap your cheeks to..." and Chief responds " Tell that to the Covenant"

You know a lot of the books are completely random and have conflicting lore, right?

So it's a man banging another man?

Idk man I’m Hispanic and I can definitely see my family inviting Chief to dinner for sure

That'd be pretty dope

not enough avenues to shove woke shit in the show with that, try again.

I actually enjoyed FUD

Can't wokify that. It would mean actually using people with real talent; love for source material and intentional effort to put out good content.

​​@@jasoncooper6047: The show's props and costume department got the UNSC gear, weapons, and vehicles right, they are genuine fans. Can't say the same for the writers. All that hard work pissed away by shite writing.

There it is

Depicting them running like A gazelle or Cheetah would be rather difficult.

@@AKlover but how Master Cheeks ran in Season one was fine. They just sped up his Sprinting which looked authentic and fast

@@forgeinsurancellc An augmented human also wearing power armor would likely have an insane stride length, they did it better in season 1 but that still falls short of what the reality would be.

No its just that the people they hire to create cinematics and trailers are not a part of anything. They're usual a small company or private interest who is hired for it and this small group of 5 or however big their company is are usually very good at their job unlike the show runners. The trailers film editors are 100 percent fans of halo and are only allowed to used like 10 seconds max per clips and have to show atleast 25 percent of what the show is about. Thats why disney movies suck. They're trailer creators work for Disney and you can tell by how they keep spoiling the entire movie and then showing us all how trash it is thinking they just made the best thing ever. Same with dceu

@@OGslays TV shows don't hire outside people to do their ads. Most big TV shows nowadays have a television film crew who's part of the production team for the entire show. Them and the producers will usually pick what parts to play in their ads.

@th3-jwalk3r43 if it's cheaper they do. If it's not they don't.

If u didn't know this was trash after season one and canceled, idk what what to tell u

@@OGslays Its never gonna be cheaper when every production house in existence has their own marketing and editing teams on payroll. Dont make shit up as if you know something when its painfully obvious to everyone else you know nothing.

Yeah but then people would like it. Todays movies must have either a woke leftist message or they must be pissing on source material. This is even more important then making money.

Agree, this could be easily one of the best serials out there, instead of it, i have a problem watching it. Especialy whole arc Chief is mental and his team doubts him is boiling my blood. Thats the exact opposite of Master Chief and his team, they were loyal to him always, they never doubted him coss he was like a machine, he was always few steps ahead, he was best of best and everyone knew it.

Yes, but that would have required competent people with humility across the board. They would need a lead actor who's not so in love with himself he can't help buy pull his damn helmet off every 5 second to show off his "gorgeous face". You would need writers that had the humility of adapting someone else's superior writing, rather than thinking they can do better without an iota of evidence to back that up. They would need SFX teams who understood basic concepts like conservation of momentum, so their Spartan suits would look realistic, and not like they weigh nothing... So basically, in the woke, egomaniacal, modern hollyweird, this show didn't stand a chance.

That's impossible because they have massive egos and they would be forced to admit that the lore of one of the biggest franchises in all videogame history is actually good. You see, hollywood hates videogames.

This is a direct result of the source being from a game unfortunately. There isn’t a legitimate director the networks will hire that actually has played the games from the beginning and to them it isn’t a concern at all.

Its also like they said "okay they do want some halo stuff in the halo series so we'll give It to them... But we'll still put our personal touh!" But touch is completely wrong for the setting

I think they executed him and burnt the lines he came up with.

No. The Halo TV Show will never be Halo regardless how good or bad it is. The fact Chief's face looks like a Hollywood actor just ruins the lore. They will need to make the show again or just make another Halo Landfall.

Its almost like there are some "special" types who don't grasp that they make these things for a GENERAL AUDIENCE not really for neckbeards who already know Halo. Why does Chief take off his helmet protip: because GENERAL AUDENCES don't want to watch something with a guy wearing a helmet 100% of the time. They don't care about the hardcore they care about the GENERAL AUDIENCE and getting them interested and it clearly worked

If I remember correctly they fired the previous showrunner and hire a new one with more help from 343 too I think

Bare Minimum get advisers who play or read the source material

​@@crossdaboss8914 That doesn't work. The Witcher had Witcher lore specialists and Henry, and they still shit the bed.

@waketp420 cause they didn't listen to those people they had them and ignored them

Its to weird a concept man. Your grasping at straws.

It's absolutely wild we live in a time where someone has to say this.

"Forward Unto Dawn" is pretty good for that but I would like to see a more active combat thing, instead of a bunch of rookies.

😂 bro, the mastercheeks defeats the covenant 2 cheeks at a time. Lmao

Unfortunately, all you can do is watch the Forward Unto Dawn mini series to fill that void :/

@@bonitoflakes a man can dream

Nope, instead you get armorless Spartans fighting in one corridor of Reach City for about 30 minutes. Then Chief gets spared by his lover in a display of writing that would make a CoD campaign blush.

Your right why would you ask someone that looks like a solder that. So dumb.

I feel like people would actually say that to a Nam vet though.

I dont understand why they made him ask for his kd/r in a videogame instead of making him ask how many covenant he has killed and keep the same tone for the delivery. I feel like that would've been a better scene than this weird ass video game haha moment

It's stupider than that, it's like asking a Nam vet how many times he died in combat.

He was asking for a videogame bro

John is supposed to be the player; that’s why he had very little dialogue and characterization in the Bungie games. Trying to develop his character like 343 tried to do isn’t a bad idea by default, but it was done so badly here that it ruined everything.

except halo 4 probably has the best written narrative in all of the halo games.

@@orangesoda51414 If you think drama equates to a better narrative, sure. Its best dialogue is comparable to the worst lines from Halo 3. So much cheese. Halo 4 had the best narrative!!! (forgets there’s a cutscene where there’s like 10 minutes of nothing but exposition dumping with the librarian). Finally, if you have to retcon the whole franchise by adding terminals to make it make sense: you have written a BAD story. Go play Halo 2 if you want the best narrative.

I agree with you, but that’s not entirely true though. Master Chief has been characterized since the beginning with the books, and I feel like the early books just the right amount of characterization to give you background, but it was never about exploring him as a character as much as it was about enriching the world it took place in. You could argue about whether that’s good writing, but I believe that it was perfectly serviceable and enjoyable.

@@orangesoda51414 In the 'who is the machine here?' aspect I agree, but the Covenant and Didact parts of the plot just feel like a big mess imo. I also find the mad disrespect of MC by Del Rio was both confusing and goofy. Playing through all the Bungie Halos and playing 4 immediately after felt almost like fanfic or Chief got sent to an alternate reality

Exactly. And he tried coming back for Infinite and didn’t even make it at 343 for a year. Tells you a lot about the state of the franchise and the company when one of the pivotal members that played a huge role in the OG games dips out

Halo infinite did not feel like Halo again. The story was especially empty but the gameplay also was pretty sparse and boring overall imo. Joseph came in extremely late in production when the campaign world was already built and the story was already done, very little was up for change in the last year. He was there as project management during crunch time after a year extension was given to finish up the game because a lot was in a rough shape and broken. That's a role of organization and making sure people are all working on the things that need to have focus put on so the game makes the deadline not too broken, not writing or influence on game design. Apparently he was not liked by many employees at 343, so the actual issue is a lot of the studio culture and staff, not just upper management. Joes role in Microsoft for the past nearly decade I believe has been going through many studios near the end of a game to help with wrapping up the project for release. He hops from place to place and doesn't stay long after release.

​@@Everarmed89I mean that's his job at Microsoft, he hops from studio to studio to help with the last bit of development and doesn't stay long after. Microsoft brought him to 343 to do the same thing. It wasn't him who chose to go. Now I will say 343 has major culture problems and many of the employees don't seem to actually like the job or community. It really should be closed and Halo should rest for a good while, maybe it can come back in 20 years and I would wish not by Microsoft. They have too much bias towards Halo being a cash cow but have no passion or drive to make quality, just money.

Ya know...I didn't mind halo 4. But five was absolutely terrible and then infinite was....okay at its core but 343 mismanagement by Microsoft and executives hurt it badly. I hope we see a proper revival someday.

You are just wrong about that. Kiki Wolfkill is some nobody executive. The writing with the chief in Halo games and books is decent. This show is just terrible. It does everything wrong. Its completely ruining the theme from the real halo of chief and the spartans struggling with their "humanity and purpose." Its just poor writing written by morons.

Not defending it or anything but they’ve stated numerous times this takes place in a different universe than the games/books do. They kinda made it known they weren’t going to use the source material early

Why? Antiwar activism.

Wait what? Someone asks what someone’s KDR is? Wtf. You can only die once, so there’s no ratio it’s just how many you’ve killed… and even that, that’s a question that can’t be asked lightly unless it’s coming from someone we’re supposed to hate immediately.

Damn you take this shit wayyy too seriously

@@lolilol5346 yeah I know its incredibly confusing for bots like you to understand how somebody who's a fan of the games would actually want what they plyed for their adapted tv series...

I was super pissed about Makee showing up again, as they literally showed her getting killed in the S1 finale.

@@CT-9904-Crosshair Probably a clone.

@@AdonisGaming93never in the games did elites just randomly ignite their swords and then walk away from their targets. Your simpin hard for this trash

Nah, it’s “suck big ass cream” now

And on top of that, Karim sarcastically goes “niccee” which single handedly saves the conversation from cringe dialogue, as if it was intentional. Proof of this, he quickly retorts “You still getting your material from Vanik?”

It's a lot easier to make a 2 minute trailer than an 8 hour TV show.

Or the Halo 3 ODST trailer which I would say is slightly better than the reach one. The way it shows the guy go from his brother's funeral where he flinches at the 21 gun salute then at the end does the time skip and he's a hard as nails warrior with a big scar, the explosions go off in the distance and he doesn't even blink, just puts on his helmet and looks at his men like "time to work". God it's good.

Because that would be too easy, the people making the show are trying to NOT make a Halo show and instead try to tell their own trash cliche story

Or just the reach campaign. That was better written than this entire show.

Halo 5’s campaign was more about halo than this TV Show

Nah, season 2 has been even worse. It's a solid 2/10.

The Farce Awakens did nothing to set the table for Rouge 0, Revenge of the Sith did that ffs

It will never feel like Halo, because that would require humility to adapt the source material faithfully. Modern day hollyweird is so full of narcissists that it's absolutely impossible for them to fathom someone in the past could have possibly done a better job than they are doing today...

Pretty much this. The first 3 episodes, much like the first season, has its moments when it feels like Halo. Then it does a bait and switch and gives us the Kwan show on Rubble. The pacing is way too uneven and spends way too much time on subplots that has nothing to do with Halo and will never tie in with the main story. Theres nothing of value with these other subplots at all. Horrible writing.

Episode 4 seemed like a proper fucking Halo Show to me

These marines look like idiots in this show. I’m no longer into it. Terrible costume design

@@Tiberious_Of_Elona Its closer to the Halo that we have wanted from day 1. But its getting high marks because it doesn't include the bullshit that nobody is asking for. Thats a pretty low bar IMO. But keep in mind, the Master Chief also doesn't wear his signature armor in the entire episode. So its still not the Halo we deserve.

This is called the bait and switch, just like the mandalorian is not about the mandalorian anymore, but about girl bosses. This same theme happens when shit writers take over.

I don't have the time right now but I doubt chatGPT would go this far off the rails without a lot of help.

LMAO chatgpt would write a better show than this fk fest

Real But the casual audience have no clue what any of the fuck that is so it’ll never get done because it has the pander to the masses

@@1Loftwing1 If anything a casual audience would have an easier time understanding and following 'regular human' Johnson in an alien invasion story then the Spartans.

@@1Loftwing1I feel like that's the real problem with this show, everyone has so many expectations that are unrealistic without costing way too much money. There are things you can get away with in a video game that you can't in a live action television series without spending Avengers level cash, which not all studios have access to.

This is a better plot than what Paramount did, that's for sure.

It’s sad because all they had to do was follow the books and add cool fluff. Make Master Chief more of a mystery, and make Sgt. Johnson the main character with Chips Dubbo. General audiences can very easily grasp a straightforward sci-fi war story. The budget could be an issue but mainly because they wouldn’t be able to launder so much money from it.

Yes that is yet another reason why he never takes off his helmet infront of any civilians and never shows his face in the games. During the time that the series is intended to take place in no one outside of select units of the USNC, even knew spartans existed.
