Why The Halo TV Show FAILED AGAIN 

There are worse fates than being scared, like waking up and finding out that Jimmy Rings portrays the Master Chief in your reality and that games never existed.

Please switch to Davinci resolve!!! I promise it is worth it

Would you like to hear my version of season 1 and 2? A million times better than the actual 2 seasons?

I actually use Filmora X (or Filmora 10) for video editing for my podcast series, and it has been a pretty good editing tool so far, being leagues better than what I used prior to it. Admittedly I would need to upgrade my PC so I can handle videos longer than 2.5 hours with less time needed to wait for them to export.

Yep just make a Reach spinoff or something. I really don't need to see any more of this timeline

The worst thing is, they are throwing away the whole plot of Halo CE. If we know directly from the beginning that halo is a weapon.... There is no sense of wonder.

yup esspecially after seeing fallout, fan films by SODAZ, how did they have all the money and still fail bro, they didnt earn it and didnt play the games, "cant have a tv show with a main character that doesnt show his face"

My man, this isn't even an adaptation. This was a new coat of paint over a mass effect show someone couldn't greenlight.

Reboot? More like a FULL new series made by people who care about the actual source material!

I feel like more people can relate to that, than whatever they've done to "humanise" him in the show.

@@LaperLardentell that to 343

When he does sleep. If not, skip the first step.

@@PsychSoldier756The humanization part should only come after the Great War is over.

literally just “wake me, when you need me”

That about sums it up 😂

There is much talk. And much bullshit.

Should've been done in season 1 when they had the budget :D

@@CloneCaptainRex7567 You're ahead of the curve my friend 🙏🏻

So, was the budget cut due to poor critical reception? Because 1st season made a whole lotta cash. This just makes me wonder how many people stopped watching halfway through

something tells me thats an excuse and they simply didnt want to adapt it because that would mean they’d have to respect the source material

It tracks. They didn’t have the budget to hire better writers.

Kiki Wolfkill effectively tried to feminize Halo by focusing emotion in the wrong places and it failed miserably.

I perfer to consider them, Ghosts in machines.

@A-mt1oc his theme was pretty poggers. Nemesis is a great piece of music that shows the forerunners in a darker over powering force

Yeah! It's such a large disconnect, that even they know how off this whole thing is.

Thank god no one in my family has any streaming services, and they know this show is not the games and utter garbage.

No, because my parents played the Halo series with me. My mother kept freaking out about The Flood, though. She also felt queasy from the camera's movement speed. Dad, my brother, and my cousin played them more with me than she did. Gears of War though, she loved. If they saw the Halo show, they'd probably be disgusted with disappointment.

Imagine gamers having to tell parents that have barely any grasp of this IP and watching this series that they’re witnessing a bastardization rather than an adaptation.

My dad watched season 1 without playing the games and he liked it, but he knows its awful when compared to the games

I would go with Disney. Like the Mandalorian is pretty damn close to what Halo is.

“the Mandalorian is pretty damn close to what Halo is.” Whaaa…??? You… you cannot be serious

@@Arander92 Mando never takes off his helmet. Neither does chief.

@@sombramemer1230 I don’t understand why are you guys are so obsessed with this helmet thing. It’s like your NUMBER ONE complaint but it’s the LEAST of the show’s problems. Mandalorian is kid friendly fun with a wildly whimsical tone compared to Halo which is an RATED-M game franchise where human worlds are consistently glassed by extraterrestrial religious fanatics, all while there’s a horrific strain of sentient space herpes bent on devouring all life in the galaxy. You’re telling me Disney would be a good fit because they made a show with some guy hanging out with a green baby who barely takes off his helmet? That’s it?? That’s all you require to think it fits HALO??? Sorry if I’m coming off hostile, but I need you to help me understand what you mean by this. It’s BAFFLING to me

​@@Arander92 here here

It wasn't Xbox It was 343 There's a reason why there was out cry for Microsoft to "give the reigns" to a new company for Halo.

@@marbledgold0605I want certain affinity

It was ~money~

@@marbledgold0605*reins

Microsoft created them and they accepted everything they did and kept doing.​@@marbledgold0605

Youd think he was a child and not an elite military unit with decades of experience and training.

I would be pretty pissed too if i was trapped in this show

I felt the same way it should have been a saving private Ryan or band of brothers like show

@@Kradusand it should’ve been about ODSTs

Yeah I was hyped and I thought Samuel L Jackson would be SGT Johnson

@@calebreynolds9183 Yeah, make it an ODST show with Spartans sprinkled throughout in small doses. That helps take care of their budget problem and makes the Spartans feel special at the same time.

Spielberg lost his touch. Look at Avatar 2 and his franchise plans. The man just wants money now

The problem with the show is the writing. The set design, props, actors, etc are all pretty good. Even the VFX is passable. An animated show wouldn't have improved much if anything imo

@@existentialselkath1264 that's why I mentioned to have Joey boy as the director and story writer instead of soulless wokist writers who know nothing about halo cause they did not read the books saw any of the promotion or movies of the gold timeline or played any of the games

@@switchboy2320 'Joey boy' may have improved the show significantly, but it could have still been live action

@@existentialselkath1264 If it were animated we would get back steve downes as master chief and the other game cast.

​​@@existentialselkath1264 nah thanks. The props are okay but holy fuck everything is gray and drab. Animated would give us more tight and sleek movements and more sophisticated Covenant tactics and the show would actually have budget to do Reach right. Instead of the costs of live action and trying to make expensive "realistic" CGI, we'd have the colors and visual inspiration. The type we saw in Halo Legends. Go watch Halo Legends and tell me it's not way way way better than the live action sludge we have now. The same reason why Avatar the last Airbender is better in animation than live action

Deadass. Arbiter just be agreeing with everything she says. He's whipped.

​@@LaperLarden dood, the moment me and my friend saw how quickly the arbiter changed his stance on makee as a whole me and my friend instantly thought the two were hanging lmao

She must be fired and be in black list with her monkey writers

kiki doesn't hate halo. halo whooshes her and she has never, EVER, understood it's charm, uniqueness, and allure. let's keep giving this woman the steering wheel, though. m$ wanted to get on bungie's ass 3 games into the series but we give this woman (and bonnie, and frank) over a decade to make it work and they shit out dud after dud.

"Absinth fed monkeys with typewriters" is one of the best things I've ever read!

@@jessemcdevitt i honestly think she sees Master Chief as her ideal knight in shining armor and keeps trying to mold him into that

Even going so far back as Halo 4 Wolfkill had no grasp about the fundamental concepts that made Halo successful. If you ask me Halo's narrative took a complete nosedive starting with Halo 4. It's not surprising that the show turned out like this given that she had a direct input into its development.

URRAH!

OOH-RAH!

OOOO RAH

Oooooh-rah

OOH RAH

For how much I dislike the Fallout TV show, at least I can look at the Halo fandom and go "man, at least we don't have it that bad" (Although who knows with Bethesda)

Ahh yes, the super-torso medicine.

Same Fallout show where a BoS Knight goes FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK SHIT OH FUCK FUCK SHIT and turret fires gorillion bullets at a scientist with a dog and misses all of them? Nah, nah that show ain't it

@@noddy1973 well that knight was unmotivated but the turret one was definitely stupid

Cuz they think they know better instead of respecting the already existing fanbase.

​@shahraiyan4794 ya know what's funny, that's actually... Shockingly accurate to the game. Turrets in 3 hit maybe 1 shot out of 10 fired. Protectrons barely ever hit their shots too. Probably could have been done better though.

@@OKMBVideos lmao just no, if you play on above normal and nostly on normal difficulty you will be shredded by turrets in their line of fire if you constantly don't try to evade them unlike in the retarded scene in the show

It's sad that we'll never get another show like Stargate.

Yeah 10 mil and THIS is what we get??! That smells of money laundering to something and it needs to be investigated!

SHEEEEEESH. Elijah strikes again.

The show should have been animated

If you don't have the budget to do live action, then do animated

@@SoccercrazyigbomanAnimation isn't always cheaper or easier, it faces a whole host of its own challenges when it comes to production timelines. It's often a miracle that any animated production is finished

I would feel a little bit bad if they had at least tried. Make us fall in love with a main street of Reach and let the fight take place there. We don't need to go to multiple locations per episode

​@CommanderLexa8541 man, imagine that, seeing a bustling street, then panic, bodies of covenant and human civies, cops, soldiers, and then a glassing beam. That'd be heavy.

​@Mikelike60I mean bungie made ce, 2, 3, odst, and reach. Bungie did their time and set up the world. 343 hired people who hated halo and chose to continue chiefs story that way. When the entire halo universe was open to them. They never even tried to do an odst story or hell even a diffrent spartan story. 343 failed halo.

@Mikelike60 Sometimes being a slave to your product or story is a good idea. These days people are overprotective of their own ideas, they despise any change without their input. It's why purity tests exist. True fan is now a label and anything else means you're a fake fan or tourist. """New fans""" is despised by true fans for a reason

Yap-yap with the toilet plunger trying to get the blockage out.

As a fellow fallout fan and halo fan...I know. Thank you.

Do you know what the difference is? In one case, Todd Howard himself is actively involved in constructing the series. On the other hand, the Halo showrunner stated, "We didn’t look at the game. We didn’t talk about the game. We talked about the characters and the world"

Thank you. 😢 this actually felt nice to read

Hope you realize the Fallout show is horrible too.

You're tweaking ​@@tylerfisher7740

Honestly I preferred season 2 of the halo show over the fallout show tbh

That’s funny, I have encountered similar arguments from others. Gives them away that they never played halo at all in their lives.

​@@veraxiana9993I think you need to go take a good long look at yourself and figure out what's wrong cuz what the fuck.

​@@andresuazo6129probably bots anyways. Dead internet theory wins again.

Except neither Fallout nor Last of Us series are 1:1 retreads of the games. Fallout is a completely new story (that had apparently created major continuity issues), and Last of Us fixed a lot of elements in the game. That being said, Halo doesn't have what those 2 shows have, which is the original game creator serving as showrunner, so they really should have just stuck to the source material, which worked just fine for AGOT after all.

I think 4 could have been good in exploring chiefs response to Cortanas growing rampancy, but it went way too whiplash with how quickly it moved to Chief panicking compared to previous games.

Just a friendly reminder that each episode supposedly costs $10 million. But you wouldn't know it from how they look 😂

@@LaperLarden I want to know how expensive the old ads were. Like all of the old love action trailers that were 100% more faithful to Halos story and setting. Granted we would have to factor in inflation but still would be interesting to analyze.

@@joeowensby3997 Might do some digging and see what I can find.

@@LaperLarden Thanks! Much appreciated!

It was all for you, brother ♥️

@@LaperLardenthanks broski

That's a wider problem with how Halo is depicted in the show. Everyone seems sold on it being a weapon that can cause a lot of destruction, but they don't know how it does this. Makee also says it can create life. But it's never explained how she knows this? Is this something she's inferring from her visions on the ring due to her Forerunner, Blessed One gift bullshit? Is that part of the Covenant's prophecy about the Halo rings in this timeline? If you're a first time viewer or new fan, I can imagine it's probably very confusing.

@@LaperLarden ah shit I forgot about that too. The way they speak about really makes it seem more like the ark and a shield world than an actual Halo. But even then, you have to have someone reseed life. It's not some magical mcguffin creation machine that can also wipe out your enemies. This isn't some ring of power from LOTR. And again it takes away the mystery and slow horrific realization of what this universe and the ring is about. And speaking of the covenant, outside of Mackee we know little to what they actually believe. Btw can you heart my comment again? I sadly edited "space hoop" to "hula hoop" in reference to sgt Johnson but forgot it takes away the creator heart. I want people that see your video to see how they've even butchered the namesake of the series.

They could have just made a season out of Halo CE. It's a straightforward, self-contained plot that lays everything out. Fucking it up as badly as they did seems like a conscious decision.

@rustyshaklford9557 I completely agree. I understand some of the effects may be costly, but as far as writing, the only thing that'd really needs to be fixed is the gameplay sections, but even then Halo the Flood novel does that for you lmao.

Okay Biased Bungie Fantroll.

​@@NebLlebHe's right tho,Halo has been in the worst state it has ever been since 343 took over.

Sadly Microsoft is too blind by money to care about Halo. And we've heard of the many projects that were canned that would've been AWESOME by former 343 employees who pitched them. Halo needs to be out of Microsoft's and 343's hands since they are afraid to innovate and do creative stuff to give life to the franchise!

Noticed that a lot this season - rarely ever saw an Elite with shields and the Spartan 3's definitely didn't.

@LaperLarden EXACTLYYYYYY did they just forget or didn't have the budget and minor saving grace for this seasons was the action in ep 1 and 4 cause in that episode one cool scene I loved is where John tackles an elite into store and I was like ok that's some pretty cool shit there

That’s a good point. I remember an old behind the scenes clip about Combat Evolved where a Bungie developer talked about how important it was for gameplay that elites have shields. Essentially making them the closest equals in combat to Chief, and their AI (especially on higher difficulties) would mimic tho player’s tactics, like firing from cover, recognizing sniper fire, hiding while their shields recharge, etc. It made combat encounters exciting, and rewarded a strategic approach, like watching ammo count and and utilizing allies (well..maybe not so much the wet tissue paper marines in CE, lol) rather than a repetitive run-n-gun shooter. Elites’ combat skills and intelligence emphasized how dangerous a threat the Covenant were to humanity, and in turn the Flood once you realize that a single infection spore can quickly overtake an entire covenant base. I didn’t expect much from this show’s second season, but the Covenant and Flood portrayals are pretty disappointing. The Paramount Flood forms just seem like discount Resident Evil zombies

AKA exactly what is wrong with female writers these days. (Or atleast in main stream) There are good female writers, its just that often we see the dregs get chosen for projects like this.

Gotta say, the armour doesn't look the most comfortable to wear. So, it almost makes sense why the actors are out of it for so much time.

When is that part of the video

Well, I didn't wanna say it... But, I think there's a connection. Hopefully if future Halo games with Master Chief get made, they'll maintain how he was depicted in Infinite.

Fnaf movue barely follows it's own lore. Fallout TV show is actually really bad, and likes to pretend New Vegas doesn't exist cause Todd Howard is spiteful. Japan actually hates the Mario movie and it's shown, the west actually butchered Princess Peach character. I refuse to believe any true fan of these series actually like these train wrecks

You're a toxic nitpicking lunatic! 🤣, countless FNaF fans loved the FNAF Movie, and its story, I was one of them, and some things that happen in the FNAF Movie are very much like the games. Countless people love the Fallout TV Show, many viewers and critics like Act Man and Critical Drinker loved the Fallout TV Show, I loved the Fallout TV Show it was epic, fun, and it made me really want to go back and play the Fallout games AGAIN. WHEN Did it pretend New Vegas doesn't exist!? WHEN!? And besides! New Vegas is rumoured to come to the Fallout TV Show in SEASON 2! And if that's the case then you have NO REASON TO COMPLAIN... And besides, why does it matter if New Vegas is not in the Fallout TV Show!? WHY??? What kind of nitpick is that!? 🤣🤣🤣, and besides! The Mario Movie was fun, entertaining, and they didn't butcher Mario . Countless viewers and critics loved it! It wasn't perfect, but countless Mario fans were entertained and had fun watching it, and at least it didn't butcher Mario like the Halo TV Show did to Master Chief or The Rise of Skywalker did to Luke Skywalker, at least they respected Mario's character, and made him tough and important, and why are you using the opinions of Japanese people to use as your excuse for why you hate The Mario Movie!? I'm sure there are some Japanese people who like it, and besides why should it matter if many Japanese people hate it!? They can have their opinions, but countless viewers and critics around the world like it.

@@soukenmarufwt5224 Maybe you should try getting a job - Act Man

You toxic loony 😂. Countless FNaF Fans liked the FNaF Movie and its story, I enjoyed watching it, and there were some things in the FNaF Movie that followed the lore, like Purple Guy being crushed in the suit, a security Guard in a small room being attacked by animatronics, 5 children being murdered, the animatronics being possessed by the ghosts of the children, and so on. I can't believe that you are hating and nitpicking the Fallout TV Show because it "doesn't have New Vegas in it", CALM DOWN BRO 😂, it says online that they're planning to add New Vegas to the Season 2 of the Fallout TV Show, and if that's the case then... WHAT Are you even complaining about??? 🤣, The Fallout TV Show is fun and epic in my opinion and millions of other people's opinions, and it made me want to go back and play Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, and Fallout 4 all over again. And as for the Mario Movie, it was liked by critics, and viewers all around the world. And WHY Are you using the opinions of Japanese people to "prove your point?" Is that how desperate you are? I know there are many Japanese who weren't fans of the Mario Movie but I'm sure there are some who approved of it. And besides, at least they kept Mario as an important and strong character as he should be. Grow up man 🤣...

My pleasure!

Then a med or near ending episode that’s basically the babysitter, where the audience has heard of Spartans but only seen glimpses of them till now. Told from the odst point of view

Compared to some, I'm a novice. But I know enough to tell when the show gets it wrong 😂

Credit goes to the Master Cheeks RU-vid channel for that clip! He's got some great A.I clips.

The next level down is Joshua Cylinders.

Joe Round for when Arby divorces him.

To be fair, there's no way anyone brain damaged enough to enjoy this show would know that.

In the Silver Timeline you definitely can be! Just fill in a survey and you're ready to go.

If you wear your armor all the time you'd be doing better job than the entire cast of this show

@@chasegeswein5432 wearing the armor of God works right? spartan armor is some heavy stuff

Well, if the Paramount merger with Sony goes ahead, maybe we'll see a reboot or different adaptation of Halo by a different studio. Can't imagine Microsoft would be very happy to have their franchise in (technically) Sony's hands.

​@@LaperLarden Sony could do a spider verse or last of us for halo

@@switchboy2320 An animated Halo film or TV Show in a similar style to Spiderverse would be incredible. I didn't realise how much I wanted that till just now.

@@LaperLarden also mentioning sony and halo in the same sentence is so weird but at this point not so weird because halo might come to ps5
