    Another 20 minutes of juicy, succulent 4k lore for you on this fine Saturday eve! Enjoy fellas! Next video is gonna be a bit different - Infinite related but not news or anything - regardless, it'll be a good one, but for now, enjoy! And thanks to Tommy Haden for spurring me on to make a video about Xytan after waiting for so long :D

      You are the king of Halo Lore, and your voice is spectacular. I have a bit of a fun question... I have a small fan novel called Halo: Yellow Team, and I would love it if you could help canon-check it for me, and then maybe... read it on the channel? I mean, ideally it would be a collaboration reading between you and the other leaders of Halo Lore like Installation 00, but you would be a step beyond I would ever hope for.

    Sometimes I wonder if the Covenant even knew what some of the Forerunner glyphs meant. What if they translated to random phrases?

    • @BrianWalker93
      @BrianWalker93 2 года назад +17

      That's pretty much how the religion of The Covenant was formed. It was a complete mistranslation and misunderstanding of the last Terminal from Halo 3 and a few other places. Because the Forerunners have words that have no equivalent in any of their languages, or Human ones, Great Journey was used as the closest approximation and they mistranslated a part that was supposed to mean "False Transcendence" as a disparaging remark about still living on after firing The Array and thus inheriting The Mantle of Responsibility. So, from it, the Covenant believed activating The Halo Array would make them as great as their gods. Would make them as gods too.
      Even their phrase "Your destruction is the will of the gods, and we are their instrument" is a mistranslated fragment of Medicent Bia's threat to the Forerunners after being turned by The Flood. Its all super fascinating stuff, really.

      @@MasterPiBi Sorry if my response is too long but don't get me wrong. The Reach design looks ridiculous. They're much more limber but equally heavy looking. Bulky even? It looks strange. The Halo 4-5 designs are too large and not lethal-looking enough. But they do look savage. Just not lethal. Halo 3 designs look really odd but are iconic. Basically I'm saying the design is hard to get no matter the game. But the H2A design was.... Mediocre to me. That's just my opinion. Here's my reasons for why it has the worst design:
      1. They are too fragile looking. They really just appear to be ungraceful because of this.
      2. They are not mysterious like their newer Reach designs/older CE designs.
      2. The mandibles are too small and the head is really compact. (Halo 4-5 Elites had heads too large but I preferred that look).
      3. (My biggest issue) the hooves. They have no toes. They have actual hooves.
      4: The physiology doesn't work. I think Reach got it in terms of plausibility. The legs and feet don't look like they should support the Sangheili in H2A.
      What I liked:
      1. The armor was nice. It had a nice redesign.
      2. I enjoyed their voices. They weren't brutish.
      3. The Arbiter's armor looked good with the design.

    This story is awfully similar to a story from history. In Japan, there was a Daimyo named Uesugi Kenshin and he was considered to be the avatar of the god of war on earth by many. Just as he's gathering allies and looking to sweep across Japan with his army, he just dies of natural causes. The reason it reminds me of this is because you've got a leader, revered by their people, gathering a massive force to make a difference in a huge conflict, only for it all to disappear overnight.
    Our real history is filled with stories like this, so in a way, this feels pretty realistic. Sometimes things just happen this way. I don't think it's bad that it was anti-climactic.

      Keanu chungus wholesome 100 reddit moment i beat up a kid that said minecraft bad and my doggo bit him so i gave him snaccos and we watched pewdiepie together while in elon musk’s cyber truck talking about how superior reddit memers are : “haha emojis bad” i said and keanu reeves came outta nowhere and said “this is wholesome 100, updoot this wholesome boy” so i got alot of updoots and edit: thanks for the gold kind stranger. but the kind stranger revealed himself to be baby yoda eating chiccy nuggies and drinking choccy milk so we went to the cinema to see our (communism funny) favorite movies avengers endgame but then thor played fortnite and fortnite bad, so then i said “reality is often dissappointing” and then baby yoda replied r/unexpectedthanos and i replied by r/expectedthanos for balance and then danny devito came to pick us up from the cinema and all the insta normies and gay mods stood watching ,as we,superior redditors went home with danny devito to suck on his magnum dong but i said no homo and started sucking,not like those gay mods,then the next morning we woke up to MrBeast telling us to plant 69420 million trees, me, baby yoda and danny said nice, and then on our way to plant 69420 million trees (nice) we saw a kid doing a tiktok so keanu reeves appeared and said “we have a kid to burn” and i replied “you’re breathtaking” so i said “i need a weapon” and baby yoda gave me an RPG so i blew the kid (DESTRUCTION 100) and posted it on r/memes and r/dankmemes and r/pewdiepiesubmissions and got 1000000000 updoots,i’m sure pewds will give me a big pp, then we shat on emoji users and started dreaming about girls that will never like me and posted a lie on r/teenagers about how i got a GF after my doggo died by the hands of fortnite players so i exploited his death for updoots, but i watched the sunset with the wholesome gang (keanu,danny,Mrbeast, pewds, spongebob,stefan karl , bob ross, steve irwin, baby yoda and other artists that reddit exploits them) [Everyone liked that] WHOLESOME 100 REDDIT 100
