Why is it illegal for Master Chief to wear his armor in a Halo TV show? Did they just decide to completely divorce this show from the source material?
>Did they just decide to completely divorce this show from the source material?
yes
the writers don't care about halo this is just a project they got the job to work on to them
I thought I was done last episode with the no power armor thing.
Well now they just skipped the whole fall of reach which made halo even happen.
>Did they just decide to completely divorce this show from the source material?
They didn't care about the source material, they just assumed people would watch because of the name.
>Did they just decide to completely divorce this show from the source material
That was when season 1 was in production. They wanted to do a Mass Effect show but could only get the rights for Halo.
Why wear it if he's not in combat?
He was in combat, the most fighting in the season, and he and all the other spartans were in regular clothes. They also had a gay blind spartan, and he was carrying the rifle around. The idea of a blind man shooting at sounds he thinks might be the enemy is terrifying.
if you complain about getting shot by a blind man you're a bigot
The real question is - how can he even hear anything?
Wouldn't they all instantly have hearing damage fighting like they did in that scene.
Loregays, pls assist. What did the UNSC do with the crippled Spartans? They can't go back to their families, do they just kill them?
they die during augmentation, training or combat
no in betweens
Yeah I thought so. Feels there'd be at least one case of dragging a spartan back with an arm chopped off by an elite. Wait, I'm remembering Halo: Reach more, I think one of team had a robot arm. They must just keep throwing them back out there.
In lore the crippled Spartan 2s who didn’t die where either put in crying till they had the medical tech to heal them or repurposed in other parts of the military as even despite the augmentations each Spartan is a genetic freak and high int
*Put in cryo
was there even ever one other than kirk?
I think it’s mostly 343 lore for the washouts but iirc there was a woman who became leader of oni
Red team and a couple others in halo wars where successfully reaugmented and are essentially just normal Spartan 2s but physically a decade and a bit younger
I know failed (washed due failed augments) spartans were put into command positions to help with strategies. Assume the same for wounded ones. They are supposed to be smart as frick
that's a gay blind ALBINO spartan to you
he wears the armor to distance himself from the outside and the associated emotions, the books and the old game trailers including the scene where he actually takes off the helmet basically spoonfed you this.
he and the armor are inseparate which is a trope that has been used in scifi for a long time.
the books gave him a more human side and so bungie adopted a more human side as well with his interactions with cortana, while keeping the trope alive still ...even forward unto dawn understood this, hence the helmet scene at the end.
the show does not, the show thinks they can humanize the spartan by making him cry and and scream and lose his shit - reducing the impact or value any overt emotion could ever have
master chief is either in combat or on ice (in his armor). spartans were living weapons, they didn't have a life.
Executives think Halo is like Mario with a large cast of characters that can be easily applied to many situations. It isn't. Halo is a finished story with a clearly defined beginning, middle, and end.
I’ve been away from the series for a long time. Did they actually end-end it, or is it just another loose plothole/cliffhanger “end”?
No. It hasn't had anything resembling a meaningful conclusion since Halo 3. It just keeps going and gets less coherent each time.
>The Fall of Reach is reduced to only showing a city being destroyed and the actual glassing of the planet is shown off-screen
The fall of reach happened because one relay station went offline and the navy didn’t bother to check it properly
Also
Somehow thousands of alien troops land from massive Star ships that have to use magic slip space to travel through that can be detected by other ships and space stations but for whatever reason they just… didn’t
Such a contrived and shitty show
Fall of reach was a few small covenant elements on the ground
Then a full scale space invasion once those were discovered
Which led to protracted fighting before finally the covenant said frick it and glassed the planet
It was stolen from Cameron.
aliens is a shit movie. halo taking its assets only helped it stand itself apart from that mindless piece of shit embarrassment of a sequel to a legitimate masterpiece like ridley scott’s alien.
Seethe harder troony. Halo stole from Cameron and say what you will about the H-1B but at least they are not as spineless as to parade their thievery for Hollywood to see.
You're a fricking moron.
You’re actually moronic
At least now we know what if Halo was a girl
product of nepotism, Pablo Schrieber, wanted to get exposure.
Because they didn't play the games, won't check the source material, hate you for having played them, and want you to die for not watching it.
where is Kai?
busy fricking ackerson
yeah what the frick
i expected this season to be about the fall of reach but it was clear that this wasn't the case the moment we got the previous episode with the absolutely bungled fight choreo and deaths
i would've never said this before but i'm actually appreciating the animated fall of reach trash movie and i truly cry for nylund who wrote some kino books only to be denied on film
>what I expected to be an all out battle for reach spanning a few episodes was just one with no Spartans even in it
I hate it so much.
>i expected this season to be about the fall of reach
You should have known that wasn't going to happen when they advertised the fall of reach for this season. How many times can they fool you with the same trick? They already advertised the first season as being a show set in the Halo universe...
And yet you guys watch it, curious!
hope like spartans never dies
but at this point it is more of a comedy to see how far they can stray from the lore while injecting their own terrible writing and ideas
mind you half of all trek, gate and wars content sucks too, but the other half makes up for it. so far this show had zero redeeming moments
No one that worked on the show ever played the games, and they didn't care to even try them out or look into them before hand and just wanted to make their own thing. The actor just wants to keep showing his face so he can promote himself.
just be glad they fave themselves the silver team timeline out
imagine if this was supposed to be canonized
I don't remember much about the first season, they already know about the giant ring?
I didn't even bother watching the first season because he took off his helmet, even removing his helmet for 1 second ruins the whole thing.
I think they could have removed it at the end of the season for one shot.
most I would have accepted is if his helmet got cracked and you could see his eye or something through the broken visor.
Shut the frick up and die. The armor and helmet stays and you go to Hell.
they fricked up Cortana
Hey guys, was Halo ever funded by Baskin-Roberts
>extremely popular video game series about humans facing overwhelming odds against an alien superpower
>aliens trying to genocide mankind and all life in the galaxy
>faceless hero fights his way through everything
>almost zero gay shit
Writers room for the tv show
>k guys here’s what I’m thinking:
>let’s make a show about strong women and feelings
>faceless hero always shows his face
>15 hours in and no Halo yet
>a random teenage girl will be one of the main characters
Brilliant writing
I can't stand Kwan Ha.
>Did they just decide to completely divorce this show from the source material?
why are you surprised? they did the same thing with the vidya version of reach
