For the plot of Chief and Arbiter stuck on a Halo ring, it should conclude with the Chief saying "this is it baby, hold me" and Arbiter embraces Chief in a heartfelt hug. Then the ring explodes. Lincoln Park music blast.
It’s really sad to see that the writers of the halo show made a big deal about not reading the books and making it “new and creative”. I why use halo, just make your own thing. Really a let down. Think it’s in the same boat as the Witcher.
I'm one those fans of Season 1. I never really had a huge problem with the creative decisions they made; and considering that the first season was a mess because it was passed on from people to people during production, I think they did a great job with what they did.
@@nothisispatrick6528 Man, bad enough that the actor who plays Chief wanted it axed. Probably the only thing about the 1st season that I... simply cannot defend.
@@helixenterprises9013 The one thing I could agree with him on, but he's a SAG guy so he knows when told to bend-over he will take it without much of a fuss.
A great job? Seriously? I canceled my Paramount+ subscription at like Episode 7 or something and haven't seen a minute since. It was that bad and disrespectful to all existing lore, and to the fans like me who have been loyal since day 1, the whole show felt genuinely felt like a slap in the face. Everyone saying Season 2 is "better" or "okay" seems to be forgetting about, I dunno, Landfall. Or the entire standard that Halo used to demand. We've been demeaned to being excited about the bare minimum and coping hard. I just wish as a fanbase we could consistently hold 343 accountable and stop accepting the mid garbage they churn out.
@@jmccann6735 Okay, I hear you. I myself had been a fan of Halo for 6 years now and I, like everyone else, DID hate it until I actually sat down to watch it. The idea of a Halo series showing Master Chief's face for the whole series since the first episode while he fights terrible CGI aliens, gets a romantic sub-plot with a human member of said aliens and (other than occasionally killing bad guys) pretty much does nothing but talk about his feelings for most of the show's run while we also get a stupid B-plot with an insufferable Insurgent; all of it SOUNDS terrible and I understand more than anyone why hardcore Halo fans would hate it. But though the show is not for everyone and if you don't plan to come back to it, then fine, do what you like with your money; but I'm not 'accepting 343's trash and failing to hold them accountable for their missteps,' I'm merely enjoying and seeing the good (and there's a lot of it) in something everyone else hates. Besides, 343i had been punished and held accountable enough for their mistakes and we will continue to do this to them should they ever misstep again, but they HAVE indeed improved. What's so special about Halo: Landfall? I love Neil Blomkamp and I really wish that we would've gotten that Halo Movie he was gonna make, but by the end of the day: Landfall is a high-budget live-action commercial that prefectly captures the spirit of Halo... but doesn't do much else beyond that and isn't much different from the other live-action trailers throughout the franchise. It serves it's purpose, it hyped everyone up for an awesome game, but all it does is just make me think of the failed potential of the Halo movie and not much else. What everyone sees as "A bad and unfaithful adaptation of a great video-game franchise," I see a 'fun original story set within this franchise's universe"; see, I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't LIKE the idea of a Halo show being a 1-to-1 adaptation of the games because that wouldn't really make for great TV, NOR would I, a fairly knowledgeable Halo fan beyond just the games, want to relive the exact same experience I did when I first played the games because... that's too safe an option. The show was bold, yes; but more importantly, it gave me a unique story that, like Landfall, followed the spirit of Halo (and that spirit is definitely there) yet also did something new instead of just being a rehash of the books or games. I understand Halo isn't exactly an old enough franchise for this yet, but as a long time DC and Marvel Comics fan, I'm used to seeing different takes on my favorite worlds and characters, which is why I found myself... no longer bothered by the choices the show made like I used to be. While I do think the first season is imperfect in a lot of areas, it's very ham-fisted in it's character development of John and that scene with Makee didn't really need to be there, it still gave me something that a lot of Halo fans don't seem to want that I had learned to embrace: Something new. Just because it's new doesn't mean it's good, that I know; but Halo being a slow character-driven drama with interpersonal politics as the pieces of the main-lore SLOWLY fall into place and the narrative towards being more like the games/books taking shape as the show goes on is INFINITELY more interesting to me than just "Combat Evolved: The Show."

Those same writers got fired. Season 2 is new showrunner + new writers.

Evolution of halos sentinel beam.
Nope, after season one there is only one thing that can be done
#LightTheRings
Considering she has been orphaned by the covenant I have a feeling that they will make Kwan a Spartan III
I don't really like Kwan but I think that's a really cool concept of following a person who gets orphaned and becomes a spartan III.
that's the only way to make me interested in her story tbh

I’m glad you could enjoy it but for me giving Master chef a sex scene was a pretty terrible creative decision

I feel like I watched an entirely different show. This is just bad sci-fi.
I really can't get behind this attitude of sympathy towards the showrunners. Sorry LNG, but this is a major L.
