"Humanity's supposed best fighter sees a planet get destroyed by aliens then has sex with the spy that the aliens sent" now doesn't that sound like an amazing episode
After several filler episodes making the fans that enjoy the show hating the fans that hated the enjoyers, they're finally reunited to shit on a common enemy: Unnecessary sex scenes in a Hollywood show
guess you didn't read the "Forerunner saga" because that's what this episode if from. They're not a tribe or witches, they're Forerunner worshipers / stewards.
I’m so sick of the “it’s the silver timeline!” Bullshit, Could you imagine if they did this to anything else? Like if they made a black panther show but turned BP into a wife beating alcoholic and the show was about Wakandan house wives, but don’t worry this is the “purple” timeline so it doesn’t effect the movies.
I thought there was some potential in this show to be good before it came out, until they came out with that announcement. Raised a big red flag for me and my hunch was almost correct, except it turned out even worse than I anticipated from what others are saying.
It wouldn’t effect the original timeline. But the point for Black Oanther is if they tried that it would probably be super racist and likely bery disrespectful to Chadwick Boseman.
"The problem with writing geniuses in shows. Is that a character is only as smart as the writers are, and we know these writers are idiots." What an absolutely raw line.
The paramount simps that defend this show absolutely boggle my mind. Even from an objective standpoint this is not a good show and from a subjective standpoint it's a complete bastardization of a great franchise.
The people who defend the show don’t even like the show they just agree with the politics of the show. Same with Disney defenders. Most of these people are just trying to manufacture consent so that their ideological allies don’t lose control of the industry.
The shields in Dune function exactly as they were originally conceived by Frank Herbert. Their function is to protect the wearer from projection weapons. A slow blade will penetrate the shield. This becomes an important plot point for the end battle.

The shields did the same in the original Dune movie, the sword fighter teacher we see fighting the enemies was invincible against projectiles, but then gets wrecked by a superior warrior in hand-to-hand combat, who disables his shields then is blown the fuck out by bullets when the shield phases into and out of action.
@@thomasdwalker9696 The shields where designed to stop fast moving objects. but slow moving objects can breach the shields since they moved to slow for the shield to really detect.
I’m sitting here absolutely laughing my ass off thinking of all the arguments I got into with people online trying to defend this show when the first trailers dropped. The moment I saw a AK and a 90s Chevy Tahoe in the first trailers I knew immediately this show was going to fail, and I had kids fighting me to the DEATH saying that those were no indications of the quality of the show and that we needed to wait and see. Well here we are basically at the end of the season and we have a master chief sex scene with a human who’s allied with the covenant. LMFAOO. my inner child is dying a slow and painful death with this show.
The Chevy Tahoe I could handle if it was dressed up a bit more to fit the time period. The AKs and all the other modern era firearms completely breaks the immersion of the halo setting.
To be fair - if ANY weapon from today would still be in use that far in the future - It would be the AK-47. Those weapons are so god damn reliable, you could drop it in a pit of mud and it would still fire. Now the Tahoe is stupid and I can explain why - I own a Tahoe. There is NO WAY IN HELL those vehicles would last that long if they can barely last 20 years before their cylinders start misfiring.
Isn’t it, got into some many arguments with people before the show came out and when the first episodes. Glad to see how right I was in the end, like how have people not learnt most Hollywood adaptations nowadays are shit and get forgotten immediately after it thing finishes. Watchmen TV show is the prime example for me.
@@jimbroaudio see that’s what everyone was saying to me about the AK. People aren’t grasping just how far into the future Halo is. The AK would be a 500 year old weapon. That would be like you picking up a single shot flintlock musket to use in a modern day combat situation. 500 years in the future there’s bound to be some new ultra cheap ultra reliable gun that would eventually phase out the AK. Honestly they could’ve just used the lore accurate weapons they made for other scenes and then just included a brief scene of the rebels talking about how the ammo they have is shit, it’ll never penetrate shields, and that they’re screwed if they have to take on any Spartans.
They gave master chief a face, a lovelife, and the superman punch that almost took out halsey. This isn’t halo anymore, this is “Rebels vs Aliens” lmao
I found it fun at first, but now I'm wondering if I should be concerned for his sanity. I couldn't even get past the first episode without wanting to fuckin nade myself
8:10 this right here, where you say it "Feels like Star Wars" is exactly where the inspiration from Madrigal came from. They literally heard the term "Rebel Planet" and were like "Ohhh like Tatooine!" And made all the Rebels Mos Eisley Catina rejects. And then the main town looks like fucking Jedha and then you place the UNSC in the role of the Empire...
The irony, in the books from what I see, many rebel planets were either gas planet colonies or fucking jungle worlds. At least from what I've read. Talk about not knowing shit. And/or Asteroid belt colonies.
Funnily enough, Madrigal in the books is actually rather Latin-American-inspired, right down to having a major city named Nueva Lima. Heck, in the 2009 book that introduced Madrigal (the same one that revealed the Arbiter’s real name), one of the main characters is actually planning for her quinceañera when the Covenant attack.
A Halo TV show really should not have been that hard. I can pitch multiple ideas in this comment that I would like to see more than the show we got. Starting with some of my favorites: a reimagining of the Fall of Reach as it currently fits into canon, an adaptation and followup to Soren's story as it appears in the short story of his original appearance in Halo Evolutions, any of the stories from Halo Evolutions in general (especially Headhunters and the Mona Lisa), Bad Blood, anything from before the firing of the Halo Array, the conquest of Thel Vadam during the human covenant war and his eventual transition into The Arbiter, a story of a previous Arbiter, an adaptation of Contact Harvest. Any of those would be great but instead we got given an adaptation of one of my favorite series of all time made by people who hate it for everyone who isn't a fan of the source material.
I honestly don't understand for who this show is. Even for somebody who doesn't care about Halo, and just wants to watch good sci-fi movie, this show is still trash. There's nothing good about this show, except for visuals sometimes
I feel like the spartans having mind control emotion chips is part of a trend of not being able to comprehend characters being stoic or dutifully following orders in western popular media without them being the bad guy or something. like theyre not allowed to explore the concept of people who just do what theyre supposed to do and happen to be badass without saying they computer in theyre head that forces them to be coolheaded
That goes for a dull ass character. “I shoot things I’m told to shoot because I was made for that purpose and it’s honorable to have a purpose”. That’s like a robot. Also they aren’t mind control. The chips do something to block or like, change the Spartans hormones and adrenaline and whatnot so they are better in battle and “persuadable”.
24:40 btw the reason the shields work like that in Dune is so the wearer can breathe as far as I'm aware. They could theoretically be set to block everything but that includes oxygen and such. So it has to allow slow stuff which also acts as a vulnerability. At the end of the day it's the writers' way of getting around having to use guns.
That makes sense to me. How could you pick something up or even walk around if your shield deflected everything? I feel like it would be a necessary function in practical use.
@@MrTDeLegge As a joke, I imagine someone walking through a narrow doorway. Only to get stuck walking into it NPC-style, because they approached it to fast.
In the books the shielding is described as being extraordinarily slippery, but there are dampeners around the feet and hands to allow the Spartan to walk and hold on to weapons. So technically if you wanted to maim a Spartan find a way to hit the bottom of their feet.
that is correct. Shields in tune are tuned by the wearer to a certain amount of resistance, so they can still interact with the world. This is also why they're not used all the time, because they do interfere with every day activities. They also kind of play an important part in the world building. Because they're such powerful defensive tools, it makes it all but impossible for any low-tech faction to take on the ruling houses. A mob of tens of thousands would be almost helpless against 100 well armed and shielded house guards, so revolution against the ruling elite is largely pointless. And open warfare between the elite houses is also pretty pointless because as soon as someone fires a lasgun, both sides would be annihilated and nobody wins, hence why everything is done the underhanded way. at least until one faction decides they're okay with mutual annihilation... it's actually a pretty genius way of justifying the way the Dune universe works the way it does. It's a hard but logical limitation imposed on the world that functions consistently and universally.
I turned the episode off when Kwan got kidnapped. My gf happened to be over and said "she looks like she's on a mission. Wait who are those shadow people? Wtf, why would she get out of the buggy?! She could've driven around them."
Also they had to know the exact spot she'd stop her buggy to have someone there to put a bag over her head. Unless they had hundreds of people with bags dotted around in case she stopped near one of them.
I'm actually impressed at how badly they completely butchered the concept of the original IP. I'm struggling to remember the last time a video game adaption completely missed the point this badly (even the first couple resident evil movies had the same spirit of the video game franchise).......the Super Mario Bros Movie maybe?
In defense of the Super Mario bros. Movie, that was so bad it was considered good to some people who found it fun to watch it be bad. This series just hurts to watch for no reason other than to feel suffering.
@@TheGamingShadowCat Agreed, The Super Mario Bros works well as a comedy and for some odd reason I’m not as offended for it butchering the game than this “Space Artifact” show. Probably nostalgia, but I generally enjoyed the quirkiness of the Super Mario Bros movie….shrugs
@@linus116 Nah man, Mario Bros. made stuff up out of necessity. All the lore they had to go on was like.... Italian Plumber fights minions of giant spiky turtle king, gains pyrokinesis, saves the princess.... But this show? This show makes stuff up out of.... what?? Why?? There is literally no reason! My gosh, they had so much lore laid out for 'em like a friggin' red carpet! How much budget did they waste on just developing and writing out their own weird fanfiction, I wonder?
I can't believe Microsoft okayed this shit. Like this is the most damaging thing to have happened to the franchise since 5 and they thought THIS was okay?!
You are not permitted to stop watching this show. You are generating the very best contemporary Halo-related content on the world wide web. Godspeed synthetic man.
I turned Halo off the moment that Master Chief attacked Dr. Halsey. THAT was the last straw. Now I watch the review videos to see if anything has gotten better. Master Chief has sex with the 'Blasted One'!?! I guess things are getting even worse. How???
Im 42 and a huge Halo fan since the first Halo came out. I did it all playing the games and reading the books. I also have a pretty decent collection of Halo action figures. Im watching because anything Halo ill watch, but this show really fucked it up and made the covenant look, not scary. But of course its Hollywood and once they said they didn’t want to follow the games or books, it was over for me. This show is only getting views because people want to see what is going to happen and then get screwed with each episode . Unbelievable how true it is when they make it to the screen from games and ruin everything that was great. Huge failure. Masetrchief having sex? really? Fucken Hollywood.
As a casual fan who's only beaten 3 and Reach and read some of one of the books even i'm hating this shit, wtf was the point of cucking Cortana? That was just fucking mean. Her relationship with Chief might not have been romantic but it was still more important than the OC Donut Steel Covenant bitch.
im 33. i played the first halo till about halo 4. that 434 studio or so fucked it up. bungie was the way to go. i never read a single book of it. and just now watched whole 1st series of halo and omfg what a crap. so much wrong in this. unbelievable

@@basilplushie2534 divvying it up like that, you can argue that Halo Paramount is still Halo. Chief is there, Unsc is there, the insurrection is there~ yada yada
I’m not against showing insurrectionists. They exist, they’re even in Halo Wars. My big complaint about it however is that they’re using modern weapons. Beyond lazy.
What made even less sense and shocks me that nobody talked about it, where were all the human dead body’s at the camp? They left the elite body’s all dead on the floor, but no human remains. And I’m pretty sure an elite killed a bunch of people in the same bunker that kwan and Soren use to get out of the flames? Maybe dead body’s disappear after you respawn like in the game.
No human corpses, yet the elite bodies are all there despite the thriving (black?) market on the planet. Vinsher doesn't move in to secure this extremely important location, a space elevator, which is undoubtedly very important to the UNSC. The entire show is completely rеtаrdеd, this video barely skims the surface. Synth is being overly generous. If we were to sit down and analyse every single problem with this, we could probably produce something as voluminous as a doctoral dissertation.
@@TomcatJones Who would have buried them? Kwan was the last of them, and she followed chief. And don't tell me that Vinsher and his dudes did it, because when he reacted to seeing the elite dead he reacted as if it was the first time seeing one. Which means its his first time at the camp
@@TheeGamer360 the tens of thousands of other people from the cities? it was a mining outpost. people go to work there, from the larger population centers..
As a long time halo fan, this show makes me dissapointed. Hey, the covenant is well made, and the armor for the Spartans is also well made. Other than those 2 things, this show pains me
To be honest, if they wanted to make q Halo TV show, they shouldn't have included Master Chief himself as a part of the main cast. They could havecreated any original Spartan and we wouldnt be able to compare it to the Master Chief we know. It feels like they only included Master Chief because they had to. a sci-fi show set in the Halo universe would work, they already caught some interest from the gamers, they idea can work
I already know why they didnt make the show about Halo CE or the Fall of Reach Book, unfortunately show-runners, directors and writers are stupid and arrogant, they dont respect video games, none of them do. they think games can't tell a "good story." they dont think that Video games can be deep or interesting and its infuriating. 343 and paramount oozes the "Fuck the Fans, fuck the games. We know halo better than you. Deal with it." mentality. and what do they get from this horrible attitude? Failure after failure, digging a grave for a series that should be easy to stay faithful too, to have pride in. 343i doesn't take pride in Halo, they Hate halo. there is no other explanation that makes sense. and now they are trying to hide criticism by abusing fair use and copyright laws, imagine a major company blatantly breaking laws to hide how shitty the show is. I remember when Halo Landfall came out, and when the "Halo Movie" was teased in the early 2000s. those landfall clips are what made me want a TV series in the first place. I Remember Thinking "How could it possibly be bad, how hard is it to make a TV show faithful to the books and games." Apparently pretty hard when the writers, producers, and 343i hate the show their producing. I always thought that TV shows were the perfect medium to tell a Video Game and Books story correctly. unlike a movie, a TV series can go into great detail and follow the novel's story word for word, and the game mission to mission. because the series can have as many episodes as necessary to properly tell the source material as intended. Instead we got this dumpster fire of a show that isnt even halo, its another show with the Halo skin over it. the only thing I can say is im so glad this show isnt cannon or it would have destroyed the entire franchise.
My idea for a Halo TV show: Make it about Chips Dubbo. But make it serious, and it's basically the story of a Marine who should have died multiple times throughout critical Halo events, yet survived against the odds. Since this comment is gonna be lost to history anyways, Ima spoil my own theoretical show. It starts with the Fall of Harvest, where Chip isn't actually a Marine yet. Instead, he's just short of age to join the military. However, he has been practice shooting and training on his own, feeling it was the best he could do with his time because he felt like pursuing another career was pointless when he felt the human species itself was at risk. When the Covenant invaded, he managed to put up quite a fight alongside his rag tag team of highschool friends, managing to save the majority of them by getting them to evacuation craft. As a result of his bravery, he received the Distinguished Service Medal, and his high school girlfriend decided to become his wife. Fast forward 5-10 years later, and Chip is stationed at a garrison on Reach, with his family on the planet. He was being trained to be an ODST, but hadn't finished when the Covenant attack attack the planet. Chip finds himself on the fast track for promotions, not merely due to his skill, but due to his seniors dying in combat. He is assigned to the Pillar of Autumn, but finds out that his family missed the last escape ship out. He goes AWOL and tries to rescue them. Despite his best efforts, he loses his family just short of making it back to the Pillar of Autumn due to an Elite getting a lucky stick on the Warthog they commandeered as a family of three, the wife driving while Chips was on the turret, with their 3 year old daughter in the passenger seat. Chips nearly gives up life on the spot, but right when the Elite was about to stab him with an energy sword, he is saved by a 'certain' Spartan on the rooftops with a sniper rifle. Chips collects mementos of his wife and daughter, and proceeds to run for the Pillar of Autumn. There is a ton of Covenant between him and the ship, but luckily Master Chief was there to help Chip and other stranded marines make a push for the Pillar of Autumn. Chief hands Chips his sniper rifle while drawing an AR off his back, and both make an impressive showing. As soon as everyone was on board, Chief tells Chips Dubbo he feels sorry for his loss, having seen it himself, and reassured him that they were fighting to make sure it happened to no one else. Of all the missions Chip could've been assigned to, this is perhaps the most important. He tells Captain Keys to go easy on Dubbo for going AWOL, as he had just lost his family. Captain Keys agrees, and says humanity might not survive if they insisted on doing everything by the book, so he'll make an exception...if only because of his talent, and the fact that no one was lost trying to retrieve him. Still, Chip was going to receive a demotion, but Keys figured it was best for everyone, including Chip, who now more than ever would want to confront the Covenant face-to-face. Shortly after, Keys goes to retrieve Cortana from Noble 6. From the ship, Chips watches as the Spartan clears the way for the Pillar of Autumn to escape, using a MAC cannon. Chip swears to himself that Noble Team's sacrifice will not be in vain, and while he didn't necessarily want to live anymore, he would see the end of the war for them, even if he's the last man standing. Chips Dubbo gets some rest, where he fights his nightmares. While his sleep is constantly interrupted by dying in his dreams, he gets back to sleep rather quickly, as he no longer feared death. After he was sufficiently rested, Chips begins to weight train alone. However, during his session, he is interrupted by Cortana. After having read his file, Cortana wanted to offer Chip full ODST status, despite his recent demotion. She comments that he was once a possible candidate for the Spartan program, but his father had been too high profile to risk kidnapping him. When Chips asks why Cortana would tell him something so secret, she replies that once the Covenant war ended, and humanity survived, she feared it would return to infighting, the sort that brought about the creation of the Spartans to begin with. Cortana was relieved that Halsey's creations never fully realized their original mission, as its interruption from the Covenant War spared them from a cruel fate of being on the wrong side of history, never even having a choice in the matter. Though she was obedient to the cause, she believed humanity was on track to destroying itself again, and wanted someone to carry the torch of humanity's traditional values when she was gone, as she would go rampant in around seven years. Besides, as an AI, she had no say in human affairs after the war. She just didn't want humanity to fight so hard to survive, only to forget who they were. She may have chosen Master Chief to win the war, but she wanted Chips Dubbo to ensure it was worth it. When Chips asked why him, Cortana replied "Call it a hunch. There might be people better for the job, but they probably won't live long enough to see the end of the war." Cortana informs Chips Dubbo that they will soon be leaving hyperspace, so he should probably get his combat gear on, and leaves. The events of 'The Pillar of Autumn' mission play out as they do in the game, but it is Chipps Dubbo who goes to find Master Chief and bring him back to the captain. After he succeeds in his task, he goes off to defend the wounded. Instead of taking an escape pod, Chipps rides the Pillar of Autumn down to the ring world of Halo with Captain Keys. The Covenant manage to capture Captain Keys, but through Chip's and the crews efforts, they manage to prevent the Covenant from taking the Pillar of Autumn, and are totally mystified as to why the Covenant won't glass them from orbit. Little do they know, the Covenant believe the ring world is holy, and refuse to damage it unnecessarily. The ODST commander organizes a convoy to supply the forward operating base established by Master Chief and Cortana, and Chipps Dubbo helps guard it from enemy partisan efforts. Chipps Dubbo then participates in the rescue mission for Captain Keys, and it become his first true mission as an ODST, and fights alongside other ODST's and Master Chief. Unfortunately, Chipps is badly injured by an Elite energy sword in an ambush in the Truth and Reconciliation's primary lift room. However, he is able to complete the mission after receiving biofoam. But after the mission, he is admitted to the MASH (military hospital). After Chip recovers, there is news that both Captain Keys, Sergent Johnson, and Master Chief have gone missing. The ODST commander organizes a search and rescue mission in the swamp where they were last deployed. Due to uncharacteristically heavy Covenant air presence, they decide to use three Elephant heavy APC's for deployment and extraction, under the cover of the foliage and fog. The ODST's including Chipps Dubbo fan out into the swamp, to look for the missing leadership. They are ambushed by the Flood, and most fall back to the Elephants, where one of the three is destroyed, and soldiers witness the horror of Flood conversion. But Chipps get separated, and is in the swamp alone. However, he manages to keep a low profile, and moves toward gunfire. Instead of finding the Elephants, he finds Sargent Johnson and surviving Marines at a Forerunner structure. Since there was no other reliable way to signal the rescue team where exactly they were in the swamp, and they had been reduced to short range communications, they use a flare to signal their location, despite the attention it might bring. Sargent Johnson and Chipps Dubbo and the small band of surviving Marines manage to hold out against Flood and enemy Banshees until the Elephant APC's roll up to save them. With that, they manage to leave the swamp and return to base. However, upon return to the base, things were not as they left it. The Flood had overrun the place, though luckily, it seemed most of the personal who had been turned had left to fight the Covenant. They find a few survivors hiding, but unfortunately they lose another Elephant, and more of their numbers. They decide to make way to the Pillar of Autumn, and make that their last stand. But they never reach the Pillar of Autumn, due to it being a battlefield between the Flood trying to repair their ship, and the Covenant, trying to stop them. When the ship suddenly goes nuclear, UNSC and Covenant forces are teleported away by Guilty Spark, whose directives now dictated he save sentients, since saving his Halo and firing it was now out of the question. Sargent Johnson and Chipps Dubbo are saved by this, as well as Covenant forces who would eventually become the Heretic faction. They ride out the destruction of the Halo ring on a part of it that was least affected by the initial disaster. They are then all recruited by Guilty Spark to stabilize their section of the Halo ring, and bring it back into orbit of the gas giant, where they would lower an emergency tether that was used to process gas and generate power, so that they could continue to live after the remaining atmosphere leaked away from the ring's surface. They also had to do this to get the teleporters operational again. After a successful mission, the remaining UNSC forces were teleported to a former Forerunner world where there was a human colony. Meanwhile, the rescued Covenant forces became the Heretics. This is what was meant by Sargent Johnson when he told Gunny the circumstances of how he got off Halo were classified. He, Chipps Dubbo, and the few remaining Marines and ODSTs saved by Guilty Spark's teleportation shenanigans were the only ones who knew the Heretics now existed under the leadership of Guilty Spark, outside of ONI. Anyway, that's a brief summery of what I would do for a Halo TV show.
Even without the armor Spartans punch really hard if Master Chief punched any one of them he would break his bones rather than denting the armor or slowing the other Spartans
I feel like 343 and Microsoft specifically commissioned this show in order to undo all the good will created by the awesomeness of all the shorter live-action stuff we've had from Halo over the years, from advertisements to webseries, in order to finally make people *stop* asking for a Halo movie.
11:38 another small thing that I feel is worth pointing out is that the reason why plasma grenades glow is because they’re literally on fire. And that’s how they stick to their targets, by burning into them. So that grenade shouldn’t even be sticking.
Thanks again for suffering through this monstrosity so that I don't have to. I expected they'd chuck a sex scene into this pile of drek because that's what's done with a generic space opera. If Master Chief has a love interest in the game lore, it's Cortana, so things must necessarily be platonic. Having her watch is a real slap in the face. Chief would never, ever fraternize with the enemy; that's entirely contrary to his character, as anyone with even a passing interest in the franchise would know. Finally, I guess Pedro is so vain as an actor that he couldn't even put on the helmet and armor for that fight scene with the other Spartans, so that it might stand a chance of making a little sense. The only redeeming thing about this series is that the combat scenes are generally good, but they can't compensate for the contempt the writers must hold for what should be their source material.
Give arcane a shot. Easily one of if not the best adaptation out there. Even if you’re not a fan of the style and the setting, it’s inarguably a good show.
They used references from every form of content except Actual Halo Content, Video Games, and Lore to make this series. The same thing happened with the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy.
Look man we appreciate your sacrifice, watching this so we don't have to, but please don't feel like you have to torture yourself for content. ✊ Stay strong.
Okay, I'm excited for the season finale where makee activates the ring and the screen fades to white then fades back into The Masterchief John-117 being awaked in his cryopod on board the Pillar of Autumn and then the real show can begin :) Just like the Reclaimer saga it was all just cryogenic induced psychosis.
They should've gave the show to HBO or Showtime. Paramount is boo boo butter. The best part about this show is how planet Reach looks. Everything else is ass. From the story, to the ass pulls, and nonstop dialogue. One action scene every 3 episodes isn't helping. Worst adaptation I've ever seen.
I don't really like Reach either. It's the closest thing to a millitary base as a planet that the Halo universe has. Everything we would see on Reach since we are following millitary people should look like a futuristic version of Fort [insert General name] and its nearby small town serving as a local supply hub. Instead, they tried their best to present it as generic utopia planet 57294 with the millitary base being the center of the gleaming cityscape. That weird little amphitheater Chief goes to after he removes his chip (don't even get me started on that) is so out of place I don't know where to start. It's just totally, tonally wrong as is everything else outside the walls of the base.
@@Alex_Fahey I dunno, reach starts out showing us farmers and the spread out human colonies on the planet. New Alexandria is the spaceport, so naturally it would be a major hub of commerce, business, and residence. And naturally that would be where most evacuations occur. I think Bungie went out of their way to show reach was not a utopia. Insurrectionists are initially blamed for the covenant's disruption of communications. And we even meet insurrectionists who are fighting covenant with stolen UNSC tech.
@@keilafleischbein59 Sure, but I'm talking about the depiction in the show which isn't showing any of that. The show's just dodging all the parts that the characters should be interacting with and showing instead something that would be more appropriate in 2552 Earth's version of Beverly Hills.
Ep 7 is everything that is wrong with this show. It is generic, this ep looks like Dune or Tatooine. The choice of a desert planet was just to make this cliche, the ep is complete magical, it is direct magic. And why there is a tribe of humans with bows? In some day a group of humans decide to leave the civilization naked and start a new civilization from the ground on the middle of the desert and this tribe discover magic?
I'm watching your newest video about the finale of the season, and when I leave to take a shower around the 20 minute mark I come back and I'm not allowed to watch the rest because of cbs blocking it for copyright shit. Fair use is a joke on this website. Like damn do they just have people working at these major corporations to look for videos on RUclips that critically analyze them to shut them up
This is coming from a person who read all the books. Characters and locations from the books do appear in the show. But everything has been gutted to the point it’s unrecognizable. I don’t care if this never before seen on screen character is in the show. They aren’t the same person
It feels so strange, as both a Halo and Sonic fan, to see Paramount do the Man in Green dirty, but also have such a faithful rendition of the Blue Blur.
343 decided they didn't need to check Paramount and let them do what they want. Sega kept a katana over their neck ready to bring it down at moment's notice. "No cuts." A single message sent along with a katana to a western studio attempting to adapt Miyazaki.
If anyone ever tell you any of this is justified in the books don't believe them. Books are thousand times better and everything makes sense. If the adapted anything from books this show could have been 10 times better. Even if you didn't read the books you could believe those things happening in Halo universe. But not this nonsense they decided to put in the show.
Cole protocol would have been interesting as hell. But nope. We get this trash. Honestly they could have done a live action ODST series that got cancelled and turned into the shit District 9 movie. We could have had a live action ODST series! But perhaps it's good they didn't try. They obviously can't write for shit.
@@Dodsodalo Yeah Cole Protocol, Contact Harvest and Fall of Reach are the best choices for a Halo series. I think they could have started with Fall of Reach and include contact harvest in it. This way they could follow Johnson's story which was not covered in books after Contact Harvest.
Man I feel really sorry for all people who are still watching this crap. Left right from ep 1. This deserves to be forgotten. Remember, there is no Halo Paramount series in Ba Sing Se.

It's actually sad that your new video got copyright claimed. Your video was entirely fair use. Hopefully you can get it appealed. If it was Paramount then that just further shows how pathetic they are.
@bLackstar Good luck getting that done with a realistic budget. Given all the enemies require CGI, instead of historical reenactors mostly suppling their own gear.
You can have a Halo story without Chief being the lead. That's the beauty of that Universe. You can focus on a journalist caught up in a conspiracy, an ODST, any other Spartan, or even the Covenant themselves. But you can't get that with the state of the franchise today.
You recording these videos after torturing yourself for an hour every few weeks to deliver us great content about a terrible show is a more heroic act than anything “Master Chief” has done in the whole show
I had the same bitch about the Ghost in the Shell live-action movie. The story sucked bad, but the set design was amazing. Everything except the weapons. The GitS world uses real-world weapons yet they make some 3D printed box with an erector set stock. They missed a perfect opportunity to show off the Seburo in a live-action.
That Dune critique was weird. Frank Herbert invented the Holzman effect as device to nerv ranged weapons so people in his book have to fight with knifes and swords. The Holzman effect is a weird physical effect on subatomic level, where many things don't make sense if you ask me. It is a well thought through way to explain the medieval touch of the universe, while Star Wars just goes: The Jedi use a very ineffective weapon system because its cool.
I know, you could see it coming a mile away, since that's how unimaginative Hollywood is. What even I didn't expect was Cheeks fraternizing with the _enemy_ , which is something Chief would never, under any circumstances, do. I thought it might be the other female Spartan, maybe, but not this.
@@m1lkb0n3z He basically rapes her. She is being held under protective custody by his organization. Consent doesn't really exist in that type of situation. He fucked a POW in her cell.
I tried to give this show a chance, I really did. I forgave them on a lot of things and thought it was going to get better after episode 5. But I was wrong, I don't think it can get any better after episode 8. Like that is the strangest scene and does not add anything to the show. I don't know if the show can come back from this.
It still annoys me that Captain Keyes is portrayed by a black guy. They had the perfect opportunity to bring in Sergeant Johnson to fill that role... but NO. Instead we get like three other color swapped characters. It just goes to show where their loyalties and priorities lie.
> spends 15 minutes talking sh1t about the episode > Wraps it up with "it's not bad because there's a passable action scenes" Oh how our expectations have fallen
I wouldve started the show out with Halsey starting the spartan 2 program looking for and abducting the kids for the first episode, 2nd episode we would get their training + personalities with one another and the awful augmentations including some of the kids dying as a result. During this it would shift focus on Chief obviously and we would get a cool episode of the young spartans doing missions etc. At some point maybe ep 3 or ep4 after a large mission of some importance we would suddenly flash forward to Chief being older where the main story would start. They could simply have spartans fighting insurrectionists for a while and then the covenant come where Halseys focus turns to them instead, we get Chief (helmet on) fighting covies with silver team and then towards the end of the series we start to see something along the lines of forerunner tech. The shit we got in this series makes no sense, love story with some random chick, Chief doesnt act how hes supposed to and hes unmasked literally 80% of the series. Make it stop.
The shields in dune need to allow slow moving objects to pass so the wearer can breath, which would be impossible if they blocked matter at any speed. This is true only to personal shields tho. Larger shields like the ones used in cities or fortifications will block even the air, since those structures have machines that recycle the air. That's why it had to be disabled by a traitor inside(doctor Yue)
Yeah the big problem with a lot of this is the show isn't meant to be "halo but on TV" as much as it is "an excuse for the writers to make a starwars clone", they don't want to write a science fiction story about a game series built around killing aliens and saving the universe, they want to write a space fantasy show about magic girl #96 working with a vaguely familiar version of the actual series protagonist to do "something". It's on par with fanfiction not just because it's BAD but because the people writing it aren't creative enough to come up with their own setting.
Halo fans being mad about their series/franchise/whateveryouwannacallit getting ruined by hacks who don't know or care about what they're working with, meanwhile star wars fans are like "first time?"
I just don't get how THIS episode is the one that broke the camels back for a lot of people, me and my mates watched either ep 1 and 2 or just 1 and dropped it, I can't even remember because it was so bad. Halo Landfall would've been what the fanbase truly deserved.
I made a remake that it looked like the writer just reused a script they already had, THEIR game of throne script specifically, and made only minimum tweaks though though were need to fit this old script into HALO. So far it really dose look like this was a script written by some one for THEIR game of thrones pitch.
The point of the dune shield "rules" is to make design that actually makes sense > if an energy shield pushes everything away, how do I pick up this sword to fight with it? Or open this door? Or walk along the ground? Dune shields stop bullets, but allows "slow moving" things to pass through. Preventing you from sliding along the ground and allowing you to pick up stuff, etc etc. And it's not that crazy to imagine that whatever causes the shield to mold around the body might just detect the new object and adapt and mold around that object just like it would if you put on a winter jacket. (The movie admittedly was a bit inconsistent with this though, and sometimes the shields were just ignored cause they coreographed things wrong and added shields later) I think halo gets around this energy shield issue by having the armor dynamically drop portions of the shields on the bottom of the feet and palms, thus allowing chief to walk and grip
"Starting" to break you? People need to stop trying to defend this sort of garbage. The show runners don't care about Halo or Halo fans... they never did. This isn't Halo! People that defend it and pretend like it's anything more than a bastardization are the reason why the bar for good content is set so damn low.
1:58 I love that CRlNGE part where KWAN is obviously seeing the SAND ST0RM while driving, but still doesn't take any precautions before entering it. & not only that, but once inside the SAND ST0RM, it doesn't even affect her eyes, ears, mouth, nose & breathing, ¡N0THlNG! That KWAN is certainly usually protected by her MARY SUE powers, due to BAD WRITING.
I’m glad that I didn’t waste money on a subscription to watch a fanfic almost ruin my favorite franchise. The only thing that’s not ruining it is that it’s not canon so I don’t have to care but damn. Never would’ve thought I’d want a halo tv show canceled for being so bad
@@Puggy42069 As much as I'd like that, it's still an adaptation of Halo. People who aren't gamers love this travesty of a sci fi and think it's Halo. The damage is done, like other story adaptations have in recent years.

I was trying to be open minded about the show. I was even over the whole taking his helmet off thing. But that sex scene with MC literally pissed me off! The finale ending pissed me off too.
I love halo so much and it kills me to see this dogshit dumpster fire show! I had high hopes for this show until the trailer dropped! It’s 100 times worse than “nightfall” and that was garbage. What the hell happened to Hollywood! What happened to the amazing game trailers they made! Honestly if they wanted to make a show that showed the character’s faces then they should have fallowed a group of ODST’s in a style like band of brothers and not this garbage that isn’t even remotely related to Halo!
I enjoy watching your Halo tv show reviews, despite not watching the show itself. The show sounds like a trainwreck, which is sadly expected from Hollywood adaptations these days.

The fact that nobody thought to go in and loot all the super advanced alien tech boggled my mind, and you keep referencing the games but they never did so duno what you expected from these idiots, yet they do kinda nod to the games (probably by accident) like the first person shots.

The shields in Dune function exactly as they were originally conceived by Frank Herbert. Their function is to protect the wearer from projection weapons. A slow blade will penetrate the shield. This becomes an important plot point for the end battle.
What?

The shields did the same in the original Dune movie, the sword fighter teacher we see fighting the enemies was invincible against projectiles, but then gets wrecked by a superior warrior in hand-to-hand combat, who disables his shields then is blown the fuck out by bullets when the shield phases into and out of action.
@@thomasdwalker9696 The shields where designed to stop fast moving objects. but slow moving objects can breach the shields since they moved to slow for the shield to really detect.
Is that where Rimworld got the idea from? Very smart if true.
I’m sitting here absolutely laughing my ass off thinking of all the arguments I got into with people online trying to defend this show when the first trailers dropped. The moment I saw a AK and a 90s Chevy Tahoe in the first trailers I knew immediately this show was going to fail, and I had kids fighting me to the DEATH saying that those were no indications of the quality of the show and that we needed to wait and see. Well here we are basically at the end of the season and we have a master chief sex scene with a human who’s allied with the covenant. LMFAOO. my inner child is dying a slow and painful death with this show.
The Chevy Tahoe I could handle if it was dressed up a bit more to fit the time period.
The AKs and all the other modern era firearms completely breaks the immersion of the halo setting.
To be fair - if ANY weapon from today would still be in use that far in the future - It would be the AK-47. Those weapons are so god damn reliable, you could drop it in a pit of mud and it would still fire.
Now the Tahoe is stupid and I can explain why - I own a Tahoe. There is NO WAY IN HELL those vehicles would last that long if they can barely last 20 years before their cylinders start misfiring.
Isn’t it, got into some many arguments with people before the show came out and when the first episodes. Glad to see how right I was in the end, like how have people not learnt most Hollywood adaptations nowadays are shit and get forgotten immediately after it thing finishes. Watchmen TV show is the prime example for me.
@@jimbroaudio they could of at least made the ak's, now with LED's to make them look more futuristic.
@@jimbroaudio see that’s what everyone was saying to me about the AK. People aren’t grasping just how far into the future Halo is. The AK would be a 500 year old weapon. That would be like you picking up a single shot flintlock musket to use in a modern day combat situation. 500 years in the future there’s bound to be some new ultra cheap ultra reliable gun that would eventually phase out the AK. Honestly they could’ve just used the lore accurate weapons they made for other scenes and then just included a brief scene of the rebels talking about how the ammo they have is shit, it’ll never penetrate shields, and that they’re screwed if they have to take on any Spartans.
They gave master chief a face, a lovelife, and the superman punch that almost took out halsey. This isn’t halo anymore, this is “Rebels vs Aliens” lmao

8:10 this right here, where you say it "Feels like Star Wars" is exactly where the inspiration from Madrigal came from. They literally heard the term "Rebel Planet" and were like "Ohhh like Tatooine!" And made all the Rebels Mos Eisley Catina rejects. And then the main town looks like fucking Jedha and then you place the UNSC in the role of the Empire...
The irony, in the books from what I see, many rebel planets were either gas planet colonies or fucking jungle worlds. At least from what I've read.
Talk about not knowing shit.
And/or Asteroid belt colonies.
Funnily enough, Madrigal in the books is actually rather Latin-American-inspired, right down to having a major city named Nueva Lima. Heck, in the 2009 book that introduced Madrigal (the same one that revealed the Arbiter’s real name), one of the main characters is actually planning for her quinceañera when the Covenant attack.
A Halo TV show really should not have been that hard. I can pitch multiple ideas in this comment that I would like to see more than the show we got. Starting with some of my favorites: a reimagining of the Fall of Reach as it currently fits into canon, an adaptation and followup to Soren's story as it appears in the short story of his original appearance in Halo Evolutions, any of the stories from Halo Evolutions in general (especially Headhunters and the Mona Lisa), Bad Blood, anything from before the firing of the Halo Array, the conquest of Thel Vadam during the human covenant war and his eventual transition into The Arbiter, a story of a previous Arbiter, an adaptation of Contact Harvest. Any of those would be great but instead we got given an adaptation of one of my favorite series of all time made by people who hate it for everyone who isn't a fan of the source material.
I honestly don't understand for who this show is. Even for somebody who doesn't care about Halo, and just wants to watch good sci-fi movie, this show is still trash. There's nothing good about this show, except for visuals sometimes
The fans can make a better halo franchise then 343. Why cant Phil Spencer just kill off 343? There are the most incompetent devs since game freak.
I'd love a show about a platoon of Marines during the Harvest campaign in the style of Band of Brothers.
Halo1 but with all the stuff mentioned in the book that you didn't get to see in the game.
maybe even fireteam raven on zeta halo
I feel like the spartans having mind control emotion chips is part of a trend of not being able to comprehend characters being stoic or dutifully following orders in western popular media without them being the bad guy or something. like theyre not allowed to explore the concept of people who just do what theyre supposed to do and happen to be badass without saying they computer in theyre head that forces them to be coolheaded
Honor, duty, loyalty. These are all qualities that hollywood hates. Among many others, obviously.
@@SIGNOR-G Couldn’t have said it better myself
I guess they want people to idk….. question their actions…
@@jeanhyppolite1101 the action they made me question was watching this show.
That goes for a dull ass character. “I shoot things I’m told to shoot because I was made for that purpose and it’s honorable to have a purpose”.
That’s like a robot.
Also they aren’t mind control. The chips do something to block or like, change the Spartans hormones and adrenaline and whatnot so they are better in battle and “persuadable”.
24:40 btw the reason the shields work like that in Dune is so the wearer can breathe as far as I'm aware. They could theoretically be set to block everything but that includes oxygen and such. So it has to allow slow stuff which also acts as a vulnerability. At the end of the day it's the writers' way of getting around having to use guns.
That makes sense to me. How could you pick something up or even walk around if your shield deflected everything? I feel like it would be a necessary function in practical use.
@@MrTDeLegge As a joke, I imagine someone walking through a narrow doorway. Only to get stuck walking into it NPC-style, because they approached it to fast.
I imagine there was an incident where someone became locked in a skin tight shield cage
In the books the shielding is described as being extraordinarily slippery, but there are dampeners around the feet and hands to allow the Spartan to walk and hold on to weapons. So technically if you wanted to maim a Spartan find a way to hit the bottom of their feet.
that is correct. Shields in tune are tuned by the wearer to a certain amount of resistance, so they can still interact with the world. This is also why they're not used all the time, because they do interfere with every day activities.
They also kind of play an important part in the world building. Because they're such powerful defensive tools, it makes it all but impossible for any low-tech faction to take on the ruling houses. A mob of tens of thousands would be almost helpless against 100 well armed and shielded house guards, so revolution against the ruling elite is largely pointless. And open warfare between the elite houses is also pretty pointless because as soon as someone fires a lasgun, both sides would be annihilated and nobody wins, hence why everything is done the underhanded way.
at least until one faction decides they're okay with mutual annihilation...
it's actually a pretty genius way of justifying the way the Dune universe works the way it does. It's a hard but logical limitation imposed on the world that functions consistently and universally.
I turned the episode off when Kwan got kidnapped. My gf happened to be over and said "she looks like she's on a mission. Wait who are those shadow people? Wtf, why would she get out of the buggy?! She could've driven around them."
Also they had to know the exact spot she'd stop her buggy to have someone there to put a bag over her head. Unless they had hundreds of people with bags dotted around in case she stopped near one of them.
I'm actually impressed at how badly they completely butchered the concept of the original IP. I'm struggling to remember the last time a video game adaption completely missed the point this badly (even the first couple resident evil movies had the same spirit of the video game franchise).......the Super Mario Bros Movie maybe?

I turned Halo off the moment that Master Chief attacked Dr. Halsey. THAT was the last straw. Now I watch the review videos to see if anything has gotten better. Master Chief has sex with the 'Blasted One'!?! I guess things are getting even worse. How???
Good God. They couldn't even been bothered to reference an actual Reach city. They didn't even try coming up with an original name.
Im 42 and a huge Halo fan since the first Halo came out. I did it all playing the games and reading the books. I also have a pretty decent collection of Halo action figures. Im watching because anything Halo ill watch, but this show really fucked it up and made the covenant look, not scary. But of course its Hollywood and once they said they didn’t want to follow the games or books, it was over for me. This show is only getting views because people want to see what is going to happen and then get screwed with each episode . Unbelievable how true it is when they make it to the screen from games and ruin everything that was great. Huge failure. Masetrchief having sex? really? Fucken Hollywood.
As a casual fan who's only beaten 3 and Reach and read some of one of the books even i'm hating this shit, wtf was the point of cucking Cortana? That was just fucking mean.

No human corpses, yet the elite bodies are all there despite the thriving (black?) market on the planet.

To be honest, if they wanted to make q Halo TV show, they shouldn't have included Master Chief himself as a part of the main cast. They could havecreated any original Spartan and we wouldnt be able to compare it to the Master Chief we know. It feels like they only included Master Chief because they had to. a sci-fi show set in the Halo universe would work, they already caught some interest from the gamers, they idea can work
@@jackhazardous4008 absolutely, the only way that this would work was if this was about a different Spartan that we have never seen before.
I already know why they didnt make the show about Halo CE or the Fall of Reach Book, unfortunately show-runners, directors and writers are stupid and arrogant, they dont respect video games, none of them do. they think games can't tell a "good story." they dont think that Video games can be deep or interesting and its infuriating. 343 and paramount oozes the "Fuck the Fans, fuck the games. We know halo better than you. Deal with it." mentality. and what do they get from this horrible attitude? Failure after failure, digging a grave for a series that should be easy to stay faithful too, to have pride in. 343i doesn't take pride in Halo, they Hate halo. there is no other explanation that makes sense. and now they are trying to hide criticism by abusing fair use and copyright laws, imagine a major company blatantly breaking laws to hide how shitty the show is.
I remember when Halo Landfall came out, and when the "Halo Movie" was teased in the early 2000s. those landfall clips are what made me want a TV series in the first place. I Remember Thinking "How could it possibly be bad, how hard is it to make a TV show faithful to the books and games." Apparently pretty hard when the writers, producers, and 343i hate the show their producing. I always thought that TV shows were the perfect medium to tell a Video Game and Books story correctly. unlike a movie, a TV series can go into great detail and follow the novel's story word for word, and the game mission to mission. because the series can have as many episodes as necessary to properly tell the source material as intended. Instead we got this dumpster fire of a show that isnt even halo, its another show with the Halo skin over it. the only thing I can say is im so glad this show isnt cannon or it would have destroyed the entire franchise.
💯
I love the idea of handcuffing a spartan in mjolnir to a sink. That wouldn't delay them for even a moment.
My idea for a Halo TV show: Make it about Chips Dubbo. But make it serious, and it's basically the story of a Marine who should have died multiple times throughout critical Halo events, yet survived against the odds. Since this comment is gonna be lost to history anyways, Ima spoil my own theoretical show.
It starts with the Fall of Harvest, where Chip isn't actually a Marine yet. Instead, he's just short of age to join the military. However, he has been practice shooting and training on his own, feeling it was the best he could do with his time because he felt like pursuing another career was pointless when he felt the human species itself was at risk. When the Covenant invaded, he managed to put up quite a fight alongside his rag tag team of highschool friends, managing to save the majority of them by getting them to evacuation craft. As a result of his bravery, he received the Distinguished Service Medal, and his high school girlfriend decided to become his wife.
Fast forward 5-10 years later, and Chip is stationed at a garrison on Reach, with his family on the planet. He was being trained to be an ODST, but hadn't finished when the Covenant attack attack the planet. Chip finds himself on the fast track for promotions, not merely due to his skill, but due to his seniors dying in combat. He is assigned to the Pillar of Autumn, but finds out that his family missed the last escape ship out. He goes AWOL and tries to rescue them. Despite his best efforts, he loses his family just short of making it back to the Pillar of Autumn due to an Elite getting a lucky stick on the Warthog they commandeered as a family of three, the wife driving while Chips was on the turret, with their 3 year old daughter in the passenger seat. Chips nearly gives up life on the spot, but right when the Elite was about to stab him with an energy sword, he is saved by a 'certain' Spartan on the rooftops with a sniper rifle. Chips collects mementos of his wife and daughter, and proceeds to run for the Pillar of Autumn.
There is a ton of Covenant between him and the ship, but luckily Master Chief was there to help Chip and other stranded marines make a push for the Pillar of Autumn. Chief hands Chips his sniper rifle while drawing an AR off his back, and both make an impressive showing. As soon as everyone was on board, Chief tells Chips Dubbo he feels sorry for his loss, having seen it himself, and reassured him that they were fighting to make sure it happened to no one else. Of all the missions Chip could've been assigned to, this is perhaps the most important. He tells Captain Keys to go easy on Dubbo for going AWOL, as he had just lost his family. Captain Keys agrees, and says humanity might not survive if they insisted on doing everything by the book, so he'll make an exception...if only because of his talent, and the fact that no one was lost trying to retrieve him. Still, Chip was going to receive a demotion, but Keys figured it was best for everyone, including Chip, who now more than ever would want to confront the Covenant face-to-face.
Shortly after, Keys goes to retrieve Cortana from Noble 6. From the ship, Chips watches as the Spartan clears the way for the Pillar of Autumn to escape, using a MAC cannon. Chip swears to himself that Noble Team's sacrifice will not be in vain, and while he didn't necessarily want to live anymore, he would see the end of the war for them, even if he's the last man standing.
Chips Dubbo gets some rest, where he fights his nightmares. While his sleep is constantly interrupted by dying in his dreams, he gets back to sleep rather quickly, as he no longer feared death. After he was sufficiently rested, Chips begins to weight train alone. However, during his session, he is interrupted by Cortana. After having read his file, Cortana wanted to offer Chip full ODST status, despite his recent demotion. She comments that he was once a possible candidate for the Spartan program, but his father had been too high profile to risk kidnapping him. When Chips asks why Cortana would tell him something so secret, she replies that once the Covenant war ended, and humanity survived, she feared it would return to infighting, the sort that brought about the creation of the Spartans to begin with.
Cortana was relieved that Halsey's creations never fully realized their original mission, as its interruption from the Covenant War spared them from a cruel fate of being on the wrong side of history, never even having a choice in the matter. Though she was obedient to the cause, she believed humanity was on track to destroying itself again, and wanted someone to carry the torch of humanity's traditional values when she was gone, as she would go rampant in around seven years. Besides, as an AI, she had no say in human affairs after the war. She just didn't want humanity to fight so hard to survive, only to forget who they were. She may have chosen Master Chief to win the war, but she wanted Chips Dubbo to ensure it was worth it. When Chips asked why him, Cortana replied "Call it a hunch. There might be people better for the job, but they probably won't live long enough to see the end of the war." Cortana informs Chips Dubbo that they will soon be leaving hyperspace, so he should probably get his combat gear on, and leaves.
The events of 'The Pillar of Autumn' mission play out as they do in the game, but it is Chipps Dubbo who goes to find Master Chief and bring him back to the captain. After he succeeds in his task, he goes off to defend the wounded. Instead of taking an escape pod, Chipps rides the Pillar of Autumn down to the ring world of Halo with Captain Keys. The Covenant manage to capture Captain Keys, but through Chip's and the crews efforts, they manage to prevent the Covenant from taking the Pillar of Autumn, and are totally mystified as to why the Covenant won't glass them from orbit. Little do they know, the Covenant believe the ring world is holy, and refuse to damage it unnecessarily. The ODST commander organizes a convoy to supply the forward operating base established by Master Chief and Cortana, and Chipps Dubbo helps guard it from enemy partisan efforts.
Chipps Dubbo then participates in the rescue mission for Captain Keys, and it become his first true mission as an ODST, and fights alongside other ODST's and Master Chief. Unfortunately, Chipps is badly injured by an Elite energy sword in an ambush in the Truth and Reconciliation's primary lift room. However, he is able to complete the mission after receiving biofoam. But after the mission, he is admitted to the MASH (military hospital).
After Chip recovers, there is news that both Captain Keys, Sergent Johnson, and Master Chief have gone missing. The ODST commander organizes a search and rescue mission in the swamp where they were last deployed. Due to uncharacteristically heavy Covenant air presence, they decide to use three Elephant heavy APC's for deployment and extraction, under the cover of the foliage and fog. The ODST's including Chipps Dubbo fan out into the swamp, to look for the missing leadership. They are ambushed by the Flood, and most fall back to the Elephants, where one of the three is destroyed, and soldiers witness the horror of Flood conversion. But Chipps get separated, and is in the swamp alone. However, he manages to keep a low profile, and moves toward gunfire. Instead of finding the Elephants, he finds Sargent Johnson and surviving Marines at a Forerunner structure.
Since there was no other reliable way to signal the rescue team where exactly they were in the swamp, and they had been reduced to short range communications, they use a flare to signal their location, despite the attention it might bring. Sargent Johnson and Chipps Dubbo and the small band of surviving Marines manage to hold out against Flood and enemy Banshees until the Elephant APC's roll up to save them. With that, they manage to leave the swamp and return to base.
However, upon return to the base, things were not as they left it. The Flood had overrun the place, though luckily, it seemed most of the personal who had been turned had left to fight the Covenant. They find a few survivors hiding, but unfortunately they lose another Elephant, and more of their numbers. They decide to make way to the Pillar of Autumn, and make that their last stand. But they never reach the Pillar of Autumn, due to it being a battlefield between the Flood trying to repair their ship, and the Covenant, trying to stop them.
When the ship suddenly goes nuclear, UNSC and Covenant forces are teleported away by Guilty Spark, whose directives now dictated he save sentients, since saving his Halo and firing it was now out of the question. Sargent Johnson and Chipps Dubbo are saved by this, as well as Covenant forces who would eventually become the Heretic faction. They ride out the destruction of the Halo ring on a part of it that was least affected by the initial disaster. They are then all recruited by Guilty Spark to stabilize their section of the Halo ring, and bring it back into orbit of the gas giant, where they would lower an emergency tether that was used to process gas and generate power, so that they could continue to live after the remaining atmosphere leaked away from the ring's surface. They also had to do this to get the teleporters operational again. After a successful mission, the remaining UNSC forces were teleported to a former Forerunner world where there was a human colony. Meanwhile, the rescued Covenant forces became the Heretics.
This is what was meant by Sargent Johnson when he told Gunny the circumstances of how he got off Halo were classified. He, Chipps Dubbo, and the few remaining Marines and ODSTs saved by Guilty Spark's teleportation shenanigans were the only ones who knew the Heretics now existed under the leadership of Guilty Spark, outside of ONI.
Anyway, that's a brief summery of what I would do for a Halo TV show.
Dude......I would watch this show till the end of times :')
This sounds awesome
This legitimately sounds fantastic
Genius
How I would love a full fledged television series based on Chipps Dubbo.
24:19 you are a cultured man having Edge of spirit from DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3 as background music
Even without the armor Spartans punch really hard if Master Chief punched any one of them he would break his bones rather than denting the armor or slowing the other Spartans
Spartans can’t break their bones. In the original lore their bones have a material grafted onto them that prevents breaks.
I feel like 343 and Microsoft specifically commissioned this show in order to undo all the good will created by the awesomeness of all the shorter live-action stuff we've had from Halo over the years, from advertisements to webseries, in order to finally make people *stop* asking for a Halo movie.
Beeg brain
I want my halo movie, and i want it NOW!!!
@@nationalsocialist5526 based name
@@SIGNOR-G Is that good or bad cause I honestly have no clue mate
@@nationalsocialist5526 its good. But only if you arent trolling. Where did you find that image of Wolfenstein?
11:38 another small thing that I feel is worth pointing out is that the reason why plasma grenades glow is because they’re literally on fire. And that’s how they stick to their targets, by burning into them. So that grenade shouldn’t even be sticking.
Thanks again for suffering through this monstrosity so that I don't have to. I expected they'd chuck a sex scene into this pile of drek because that's what's done with a generic space opera. If Master Chief has a love interest in the game lore, it's Cortana, so things must necessarily be platonic. Having her watch is a real slap in the face. Chief would never, ever fraternize with the enemy; that's entirely contrary to his character, as anyone with even a passing interest in the franchise would know. Finally, I guess Pedro is so vain as an actor that he couldn't even put on the helmet and armor for that fight scene with the other Spartans, so that it might stand a chance of making a little sense. The only redeeming thing about this series is that the combat scenes are generally good, but they can't compensate for the contempt the writers must hold for what should be their source material.
They literally just made Cortana a cuckquean because it's one of the writers' fetishes.
This is a terrible video game adaptation, one of the worst. 🤦♂️💯
Super Mario Bros was better than this.
@@punishedmatteson7108 true. As bad as that was, I actually enjoy that movie more
You're a brave man. I could never watch a game to film adaptation.
This proves my suspicions.
Sonic did it right at least
You should watch Sonic **wink wink**
Give arcane a shot. Easily one of if not the best adaptation out there. Even if you’re not a fan of the style and the setting, it’s inarguably a good show.
They used references from every form of content except Actual Halo Content, Video Games, and Lore to make this series. The same thing happened with the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy.
Look man we appreciate your sacrifice, watching this so we don't have to, but please don't feel like you have to torture yourself for content. ✊ Stay strong.
Okay, I'm excited for the season finale where makee activates the ring and the screen fades to white then fades back into The Masterchief John-117 being awaked in his cryopod on board the Pillar of Autumn and then the real show can begin :)
Just like the Reclaimer saga it was all just cryogenic induced psychosis.
Only "starts"? You're doing very well then Synthetic, the fucking first episode broke me already.
You know you messed up when halo 5 has a better story.
Honestley, even the Halo show wins over Halo 5, defintely not out of quality, out of quantity
@@elidasilva5558 nah I’ll take master chief over master cheeks any day no matter how bad the game
@@elidasilva5558 chief was still chief in 5
if only this was a college humor series. cause then it would almost work as a halo parody
They should've gave the show to HBO or Showtime. Paramount is boo boo butter. The best part about this show is how planet Reach looks. Everything else is ass. From the story, to the ass pulls, and nonstop dialogue. One action scene every 3 episodes isn't helping. Worst adaptation I've ever seen.
This is the show that showtime produced my dude.
Paramount ended up punlishing
I don't really like Reach either. It's the closest thing to a millitary base as a planet that the Halo universe has. Everything we would see on Reach since we are following millitary people should look like a futuristic version of Fort [insert General name] and its nearby small town serving as a local supply hub. Instead, they tried their best to present it as generic utopia planet 57294 with the millitary base being the center of the gleaming cityscape. That weird little amphitheater Chief goes to after he removes his chip (don't even get me started on that) is so out of place I don't know where to start. It's just totally, tonally wrong as is everything else outside the walls of the base.
@@Alex_Fahey I dunno, reach starts out showing us farmers and the spread out human colonies on the planet. New Alexandria is the spaceport, so naturally it would be a major hub of commerce, business, and residence. And naturally that would be where most evacuations occur.
I think Bungie went out of their way to show reach was not a utopia. Insurrectionists are initially blamed for the covenant's disruption of communications. And we even meet insurrectionists who are fighting covenant with stolen UNSC tech.
@@keilafleischbein59 Sure, but I'm talking about the depiction in the show which isn't showing any of that. The show's just dodging all the parts that the characters should be interacting with and showing instead something that would be more appropriate in 2552 Earth's version of Beverly Hills.
Instead of decomposing the bodies should of just despawned. That would of been the most canon thing they could of done
Ep 7 is everything that is wrong with this show. It is generic, this ep looks like Dune or Tatooine. The choice of a desert planet was just to make this cliche, the ep is complete magical, it is direct magic. And why there is a tribe of humans with bows? In some day a group of humans decide to leave the civilization naked and start a new civilization from the ground on the middle of the desert and this tribe discover magic?
In the words of Arch,
"Cortana has become Cuckedtana!"
I'm watching your newest video about the finale of the season, and when I leave to take a shower around the 20 minute mark I come back and I'm not allowed to watch the rest because of cbs blocking it for copyright shit. Fair use is a joke on this website. Like damn do they just have people working at these major corporations to look for videos on RUclips that critically analyze them to shut them up
This is coming from a person who read all the books. Characters and locations from the books do appear in the show. But everything has been gutted to the point it’s unrecognizable. I don’t care if this never before seen on screen character is in the show. They aren’t the same person
It feels so strange, as both a Halo and Sonic fan, to see Paramount do the Man in Green dirty, but also have such a faithful rendition of the Blue Blur.
343 decided they didn't need to check Paramount and let them do what they want.
Sega kept a katana over their neck ready to bring it down at moment's notice.
"No cuts." A single message sent along with a katana to a western studio attempting to adapt Miyazaki.
If anyone ever tell you any of this is justified in the books don't believe them. Books are thousand times better and everything makes sense. If the adapted anything from books this show could have been 10 times better. Even if you didn't read the books you could believe those things happening in Halo universe. But not this nonsense they decided to put in the show.
Cole protocol would have been interesting as hell.
But nope. We get this trash.
Honestly they could have done a live action ODST series that got cancelled and turned into the shit District 9 movie.
We could have had a live action ODST series!
But perhaps it's good they didn't try.
They obviously can't write for shit.
@@Dodsodalo Yeah Cole Protocol, Contact Harvest and Fall of Reach are the best choices for a Halo series. I think they could have started with Fall of Reach and include contact harvest in it. This way they could follow Johnson's story which was not covered in books after Contact Harvest.
The next video about this, got a copy right strike, all I have to say is, what ever Synthetic man said, it must've hurt Paramount badly, Ouch.
Man I feel really sorry for all people who are still watching this crap. Left right from ep 1. This deserves to be forgotten. Remember, there is no Halo Paramount series in Ba Sing Se.
"Yeah, I'm from Earth City, graduated from Earth High School, my name is Earth. My parents named me after our planet Earth, in the Earth galaxy, in our Earth universe. Earth."
its broken a lot of people. it really shows who in the fandom can be trusted to properly gatekeep and who will let it all burn so they can be be "nice" Installation 00 and Eckartsladder have straight turned into weak little shills for example.
They always were shills, man. Along with HaloFollower, LatenightGaming, Actman, Sean W., pretty much all of them.
@@johngonzalez2495 wait wym?
I’m pretty sure Eckarts actually rather dislikes the show; his last video on it was him simply reacting in disgust and disbelief at the sex scene.
It's actually sad that your new video got copyright claimed. Your video was entirely fair use. Hopefully you can get it appealed. If it was Paramount then that just further shows how pathetic they are.
Imagine making a Halo show and not focusing on the Chief.
It can be done. Reach and ODST show you can have an incredible chief-less Halo story.
Imagine a show that focused on Master Chief Mendez, sign me up right now!!!
@bLackstar Good luck getting that done with a realistic budget. Given all the enemies require CGI, instead of historical reenactors mostly suppling their own gear.
You can have a Halo story without Chief being the lead. That's the beauty of that Universe. You can focus on a journalist caught up in a conspiracy, an ODST, any other Spartan, or even the Covenant themselves.
But you can't get that with the state of the franchise today.
well, it is called "Halo" not "Master Chief"
18:22
Cortana’s look almost killed me man 😂. She’s just like: “WTF?!”
You recording these videos after torturing yourself for an hour every few weeks to deliver us great content about a terrible show is a more heroic act than anything “Master Chief” has done in the whole show
Idk man. Sleeping with a pow was pretty brave.
His newest video got copyright claimed yet again, wild how they really just want to silence this man because he's calling out their bs
This is bad,
It's only been 30 seconds into this video and i'm already questioning why I haven't attempted to firebomb Paramount yet.
The show is literally nothing like the books, the books were actually good and mostly aligned with the first games
I had the same bitch about the Ghost in the Shell live-action movie. The story sucked bad, but the set design was amazing. Everything except the weapons. The GitS world uses real-world weapons yet they make some 3D printed box with an erector set stock. They missed a perfect opportunity to show off the Seburo in a live-action.
That Dune critique was weird. Frank Herbert invented the Holzman effect as device to nerv ranged weapons so people in his book have to fight with knifes and swords. The Holzman effect is a weird physical effect on subatomic level, where many things don't make sense if you ask me. It is a well thought through way to explain the medieval touch of the universe, while Star Wars just goes: The Jedi use a very ineffective weapon system because its cool.
I actually predicted that master cheeks would eventually get down and dirty lmfao 😂
I know, you could see it coming a mile away, since that's how unimaginative Hollywood is. What even I didn't expect was Cheeks fraternizing with the _enemy_ , which is something Chief would never, under any circumstances, do. I thought it might be the other female Spartan, maybe, but not this.
With a name like master cheeks how did we miss it lmao
@@m1lkb0n3z He basically rapes her. She is being held under protective custody by his organization. Consent doesn't really exist in that type of situation. He fucked a POW in her cell.
And news outlets have the Gaul to claim THIS is the gold standard and undesputed peak of video game adaptations! Bleh
I tried to give this show a chance, I really did. I forgave them on a lot of things and thought it was going to get better after episode 5. But I was wrong, I don't think it can get any better after episode 8. Like that is the strangest scene and does not add anything to the show. I don't know if the show can come back from this.
"This isn't even fanfiction writing, does this really look like the work of fans?" - E;R, I think.
It still annoys me that Captain Keyes is portrayed by a black guy.
They had the perfect opportunity to bring in Sergeant Johnson to fill that role... but NO. Instead we get like three other color swapped characters.
It just goes to show where their loyalties and priorities lie.
It could have worked but he’s the worst actor in the show
> spends 15 minutes talking sh1t about the episode
> Wraps it up with "it's not bad because there's a passable action scenes"
Oh how our expectations have fallen
This season better be the last. This show is so bad that I’d rather watch Big Bang theory.
I wouldve started the show out with Halsey starting the spartan 2 program looking for and abducting the kids for the first episode, 2nd episode we would get their training + personalities with one another and the awful augmentations including some of the kids dying as a result. During this it would shift focus on Chief obviously and we would get a cool episode of the young spartans doing missions etc. At some point maybe ep 3 or ep4 after a large mission of some importance we would suddenly flash forward to Chief being older where the main story would start.
They could simply have spartans fighting insurrectionists for a while and then the covenant come where Halseys focus turns to them instead, we get Chief (helmet on) fighting covies with silver team and then towards the end of the series we start to see something along the lines of forerunner tech.
The shit we got in this series makes no sense, love story with some random chick, Chief doesnt act how hes supposed to and hes unmasked literally 80% of the series. Make it stop.
The shields in dune need to allow slow moving objects to pass so the wearer can breath, which would be impossible if they blocked matter at any speed. This is true only to personal shields tho. Larger shields like the ones used in cities or fortifications will block even the air, since those structures have machines that recycle the air. That's why it had to be disabled by a traitor inside(doctor Yue)
Yeah the big problem with a lot of this is the show isn't meant to be "halo but on TV" as much as it is "an excuse for the writers to make a starwars clone", they don't want to write a science fiction story about a game series built around killing aliens and saving the universe, they want to write a space fantasy show about magic girl #96 working with a vaguely familiar version of the actual series protagonist to do "something".
It's on par with fanfiction not just because it's BAD but because the people writing it aren't creative enough to come up with their own setting.
Modern soldiers would 150% NEVER leave their weapons behind wtf lol
Halo fans being mad about their series/franchise/whateveryouwannacallit getting ruined by hacks who don't know or care about what they're working with, meanwhile star wars fans are like "first time?"
I just don't get how THIS episode is the one that broke the camels back for a lot of people, me and my mates watched either ep 1 and 2 or just 1 and dropped it, I can't even remember because it was so bad. Halo Landfall would've been what the fanbase truly deserved.
God Bless you, having the strength to do what I could not. I couldn't get past the 3rd episode, and I don't want to stain my brain with this filth.
I made a remake that it looked like the writer just reused a script they already had, THEIR game of throne script specifically, and made only minimum tweaks though though were need to fit this old script into HALO. So far it really dose look like this was a script written by some one for THEIR game of thrones pitch.
The point of the dune shield "rules" is to make design that actually makes sense > if an energy shield pushes everything away, how do I pick up this sword to fight with it? Or open this door? Or walk along the ground? Dune shields stop bullets, but allows "slow moving" things to pass through. Preventing you from sliding along the ground and allowing you to pick up stuff, etc etc.
And it's not that crazy to imagine that whatever causes the shield to mold around the body might just detect the new object and adapt and mold around that object just like it would if you put on a winter jacket.
(The movie admittedly was a bit inconsistent with this though, and sometimes the shields were just ignored cause they coreographed things wrong and added shields later)
I think halo gets around this energy shield issue by having the armor dynamically drop portions of the shields on the bottom of the feet and palms, thus allowing chief to walk and grip
Regarding the dune buggy moment, the writers probably just believed that randomly spawned vehicles is a normal aspect of halo
"Master Chief, you mind telling me what you're doing in that traitor?"
this was the most anticipated video in the halo community, after watching the shit show that episode 8 was I couldn't wait for your review
God now I can't wait until he sees the final episode XD
"Starting" to break you? People need to stop trying to defend this sort of garbage. The show runners don't care about Halo or Halo fans... they never did. This isn't Halo! People that defend it and pretend like it's anything more than a bastardization are the reason why the bar for good content is set so damn low.
1:58 I love that CRlNGE part where KWAN is obviously seeing the SAND ST0RM while driving, but still doesn't take any precautions before entering it. & not only that, but once inside the SAND ST0RM, it doesn't even affect her eyes, ears, mouth, nose & breathing, ¡N0THlNG! That KWAN is certainly usually protected by her MARY SUE powers, due to BAD WRITING.
I’m glad that I didn’t waste money on a subscription to watch a fanfic almost ruin my favorite franchise. The only thing that’s not ruining it is that it’s not canon so I don’t have to care but damn. Never would’ve thought I’d want a halo tv show canceled for being so bad
"Now comes the part where we all throw our heads back and laugh. Ready?"
"Ready!"
Microsoft needs to strike this from canon and just call this “The legend of Kwan.”
it's non-canon so already done on their end.
@@ArgentWolf95 Then just rename it from Halo.
@@Puggy42069 As much as I'd like that, it's still an adaptation of Halo. People who aren't gamers love this travesty of a sci fi and think it's Halo.
The damage is done, like other story adaptations have in recent years.
Even getting told the plot and not watching the episode is just a painful I’m just going to watch the halo 2 cinamatics
Thank :insert god: that this season only has 9 episodes, after this you can get back to normal life. Thanks for the reviews and making me enjoy my free time more. Cheers
Season 2 was already in production.
I was trying to be open minded about the show. I was even over the whole taking his helmet off thing. But that sex scene with MC literally pissed me off! The finale ending pissed me off too.
I knew it was going to be terrible upon seeing the first trailer.
I love halo so much and it kills me to see this dogshit dumpster fire show! I had high hopes for this show until the trailer dropped! It’s 100 times worse than “nightfall” and that was garbage. What the hell happened to Hollywood! What happened to the amazing game trailers they made! Honestly if they wanted to make a show that showed the character’s faces then they should have fallowed a group of ODST’s in a style like band of brothers and not this garbage that isn’t even remotely related to Halo!
I enjoy watching your Halo tv show reviews, despite not watching the show itself. The show sounds like a trainwreck, which is sadly expected from Hollywood adaptations these days.
@sly dankass what
Season 2: Master Chief destroys the Halo Ring OFF SCREEN! and we get an episode of Kwan getting food for the people. And we cut to Chief and they're back on the Pillar of Autumn safe and sound talking about how awesome the Halo ring fight was...
The fact that nobody thought to go in and loot all the super advanced alien tech boggled my mind, and you keep referencing the games but they never did so duno what you expected from these idiots, yet they do kinda nod to the games (probably by accident) like the first person shots.
Cortana supports Chief because she's in his armor more than he is.
