Can’t remember if mentioned it before, but early on in CE’s development when the game was Marathon 4/a spiritual successor set in the same world Bungie originally wanted Chief to be Mjolnir cyborg like the ones in Marathon and were really mad when Eric Nylund changed his origins. There’s some holdovers from this where Grunts occasionally refer to the player as a cyborg. Marines will sometimes say “hey look a Mark 5” referring to Chief and not his armor. The game also refers to Chief as a cyborg, and in one of the early trailers his voice sounded robotic. If you kill Keyes Cortana says that Chief went Rampant and to take him down like what happens to AIs (went by the original definition where the “madness” was our human interpretation of a super intelligence going rogue after obtaining full sapience/free will). Shredded Nerd pointed out how in 3 Chief’s vitals will drop to zero whenever you get a Gravemind/Cortana message implying that at least thematically Chief is undead (in a way Lynda can be viewed as undead since medically speaking she died and was brought back to life. Also, one of the very few things the dumpster fire show got right was killing Chief and into a vegetive meat puppet at the end of season 1 like the Marathon cyborgs🤣). I’m personally glad that Eric Nylund changed Chief’s origins because that makes him and the rest of the Spartans far more interesting. I just wish that we would’ve seen more of Spartans being used for their original purpose outside of a few books and the dumpster fire show. Same goes for the Insurrection, which is woefully underdeveloped. More on the topic of the show, too bad dumpster fire show didn’t do anything interesting with alternate universe and instead gave us a train wreck that barely even resembles Halo. Imagine how cool it would’ve been if we instead got a series of games/books set in an alternate world where the Covenant never showed up and the Spartan Program never got off the ground leading to the projected apocalyptic civil war.
@@shreksnow1918 I’ve never watched the Halo TV show personally. The moment I heard it was non canon, I lost all interest. After watching Chief take off his helmet in a combat zone in a teaser, I was reaffirmed that was a good decision. Also not a fan of the guy they picked to play the Chief. Can’t get his portrayal of a prison guard on Orange is the new black out my head. It’s a damn shame they botched it. it could have been something really awesome like the Fallout show. A undead Linda would have been cool to see. Thanks for watching.
@TheHaloChronicle Yeah, I haven’t watch watched the show either. I’ve mostly just seen various clips and AMAZING rant videos talking about it. I just died laughing when they killed off Keyes in a gas explosion BEFORE they even made it to the Ring😂. It’s also hilarious how they took the Spartan’s armor during the fall of Reach, and after that episode was done it just happens off screen🤣. There’s other hilarious dumpster fire moments I can’t remember off the top of my head. It’s really crazy how they’ll nail certain aspects that make it feel authentic to Halo, but then they’ll just make something up that details anything good. Since the thing is basically unsalvageable they should just go all out and make it as bad as humanly possible. If it was so bad it’s good like the live action Mario movie from the 90s I’d be willing to watch it😂 I personally think that a non canon show set in a different timeline could be really good if done right. My ideal version of this would be something akin to the Dead Space/Resident Evil remakes where it’s mostly faithful aside from minor alterations meant to fix problems with the original, incorporating lore that didn’t exist at the time, and maybe even throwing in cut content (like putting Engineers is locations they’d make sense to appear in. Adding wildlife to make the Ring feel more alive, adding cut weapons/vehicles to make the conflict feel more fleshed out, and other stuff like that). It would juggle the plots of CE and its surrounding material. If they wanted to explore character origins they could have flashback to Fall of Reach, Contact Harvest, The Cole Protocol, and other similar things. For tone it would be a gritty war movie with occasional moments of levity. When Chief’s onscreen it would become like an 80s action movie to show that Spartans can do things normal humans cannot. And once the Flood show up it shifts to horror. Then for season 2 it would be a “what if” scenario that shows what would happen if Bungie was able to give us their original vision for Halo 2 (in addition to cut levels you’d also have stuff like the Arbiter fighting alongside Brutes and against humans prior to the Great Schism, and towards the end Brutes would be outfitted with their H3 arsenal to make them more fleshed out). What do you think of this idea? Also, what would your ideal Halo show be like?
