Let this be a reminder that the writers of this show wanted to appeal to a “broader audience” when they already had a massive, tightly knit player base to appeal to.
They could have appealed to a broader audience without pulling this shit but we all know this series was made out of spite for Halo fans similar to the Star Wars Sequels, all the new Star Trek shit, the new Matrix film, and the upcoming Lord Of The Rings series
Dude, this tightly knit player base is way bigger than the broader audience. We have taken this franchise from Halo 1 to infinite. The head count is already there, we already have brand loyalty just by having halo on the name of the show. The Writers of the show are at best flawed for the 1-dimension personality of Kwan Ha, the disappointment of Master Cheeks’ behavior and the random human girl who was part of the covenant. This is just a generic sci-fi action movie that honestly wanted to have Halo as it’s name.
@@cantmossadtheassad9952 Whatever options you have on Star Trek and Star Wars, they were definitely not made out of spite. Heck TROS alone is a fever dream of fansrvice, which is nearly the opposite of spite.
We need an animated battle between these two. It would start with them walking toward each other, Master Cheeks would stupidly remove his helmet in order to say something and Master Chief would immediately punch his face in.
What I like in that scene is Sgt. Johnson saying to Chief, "I thought you were going to wear something nice." And there's Chief in his helmet and armor, entirely unlike Cheeks. Good thing, too, because before they can get to the speeches, the Covenant attacks, and Chief has a job to do.
Master Cheeks: a baby back [Censored] Master Chief: Doomguy but against Aliens. Cheeks: boring and uninteresting. Chief: can be hilarious and makes even the most serious situations slightly calmer. cheeks: literally kills himself to become anywhere close to resembling the chief. Chief: trained from six, survived augmentation, killed 2 Odsts, crippled 1 and injured another right after augmentation, survived a missile being shot at him, in active duty since age 14, Is a soldier before is own emotions, everyone before himself, loyal, caring, will complete the mission whatever it takes even if it means dying. Noble Six: We get it Chief is the best spartan and the fact that they fucked him up on purpose is hilarious because they ruined their entire show in the first episode.

Funny how this walking action figure with fewer than 20 voicelines managed to feel a lot more relatable and inspiring than Master Cheeks, an actual human actor who is paid to act like a human being would, whilst reading from a script written by people who are supposed to earn money by writing.
i don't feel like I would do all the stupid shit master cheeks did, so certainly its not a relatable character, and not all human beings would act like that at all.

I think the only problem with me about the halo series is when he takes off his helmet, because one, it’s super high tech and I’m sure that the helmet alone cost a destroyer class, but master chief rarely takes it off, only if he knows the battle is over, not every damn second
They actually made it an interesting character trait in the games, even though Chief barely said anything, he would always have his helmet on when everyone else didn't because he never really thought the battle was over.
@@noahfenech3369 Chief’s got a job to do man. He ain’t got time to socialize. He wakes up, kicks ass, saves his allies + Cortana & then he goes back to sleep in stasis. Nothing more, indeed we see unneeded & stupid scenes of him just walking around doing nothing, doing his laundry, blah blah lmao

Cheeks: *Removes his helmet* “If you want to kill me, you’ll need to aim up here.” Master Chief: *Shoots him in the face without hesitation* “Thanks. I hadn’t realized.”
Would an unarmored Spartan even be able to dodge an armored Spartan? Hell, the suits move them faster than they can will their arms to move. Edit: well, he did have the underlayer on, at least. But still.
He wouldn’t be able to take a hit from an armored spartan! The armor plus the shield energy make their hits even stronger and he has no protection, that one hit to the back of the head would have been donzo!

Again i repeat, Poor Bastard.
The fact they changed things was *never* the issue. You have rules that makes halo what it is; you change too much of those rules, it becomes something else entirely - while this would still possibly piss of fans, that doesn't inheritably make it bad. It's bad because it breaks it's own damn rules.

Master Chief is literally THE "Strong SIlent" type guy, but Jimmy Rings for some reason became the annoying strong guy who has regular outbursts every now and then.

So move on, play Halo infinite and take your thoughts away from this trash tv show. Then we’ll all be happy. Kapeesh?
Here's my rant. The original Halo trilogy story was never character driven, it was setting driven; "where are you?" and "what are you doing?" were the two primordial questions that drove the entire trilogy's story. As with all stories, characters had a level of development, relationships, dialogue, etc. But these things were never the focus of the games, they were secondary and tertiary elements. "Where" and "what" is what made Halo so successful, it's what enabled the games to rely heavily on beautiful landscapes and ridiculously gorgeous music. As the player you were never tasked with learning about who Johnson was, or Keyes, or Miranda, or Lord Hood. Not even Cortana or the Chief, characters were secondary to the experience. Bungie themselves found some backlash with the introduction of the Arbiter, for the most part it turned out to be successful, but not enough for that experience to be repeated in Halo 3. 343i completely ignored the formula when they made Halo 4, this is why from Halo 4 and forth it doesn't feel like Halo, it doesn't have what made Halo so big, so successful. In consequence, the series has no reason to be any good; it doesn't have anything that made the original games good, not even the music. It infuriates me that people don't get this. Some may like Halo 4, many like Halo Infinite, and it would be absurd for me to claim they are bad games; I think they are great games, but they are terrible Halo games. Take a look at the best levels of each original game; Silent Cartographer, Delta Halo, The Covenant; what do they have in common? Absurdly well designed levels, beautiful landscapes, music to die for, vehicle action, on foot action, they have everything that makes Halo what it should be. Now take a look at Halo 4, 5 and Infinite; can you tell me, with a straight face, that any of the levels in those games even comes close to the aforementioned? Let's talk about the TV Show; it doesn't have anything that makes Halo what it is, it doesn't even have things that can be found in other franchises that make them good; it's generic, boring, bland, plain, it lacks grandiose and polish. Other than modern tech and cool graphics, nothing 343i and Microsoft have done with Halo since Reach has even come close. 343i and Microsoft took the Halo name and squandered it.
I agree and thank you for this. Bungie understood that character comes from the situation a person is thrown into and having them react genuinely. The 'where' and 'why', as you say, is how writers and designer bring forth the 'who' and 'what'. It's why it's more often that one has an idea for a narrative set of events, setting etc. Then develops characters for it because otherwise the characters don't fit into the setting. That's my perspective anyway.
Literally every single emotional moment that Chief had across the games, books and comics, roll it all into one, and you get 20 seconds of Cheeks' outbursts. Taking a stoic character and making them lash out endlessly is heresy.
Bro the best part of all of this is that even this pretender can't tarnish Chief's legacy. They are like two separate people in my mind. But one is just wearing Mark IV. The other IS Mark IV
What happens when a major production company hires a writing team of fifth and sixth wave feminists and beta males to write script for the most alpha-male in history? You get Master Cheeks.
@@Sanya6496 There. Fixed it. You're right that feminism isn't the problem; the problem is feminism ended more than a decade ago. Everything since then has been thinly veiled misandry.
The Writers of this show can go to hell with their "We want to appeal to a broader audience" BS. The Halo Fanbase is millions strong. The videogames and books provide all the assistance needed to honor the canon Master Chief. FML
Hold on, you’re telling me that second part of the video was legit not part of some fever dream?! The second metal green guy isn’t a figment of my imagination!! Oh my….There is a God in Heaven! When I saw the imposter naked I figured I must have dreamed up the other guy as a biological response to suppress the anger, disappointment, and nausea.
you knowhow in a multiverse there are stronger iterations of different characters. Master cheeks is the weakest, honestly think that Wash could easily beat him even with plot armor.
The problem with the people who directed this show didnt bother playing the games. That's the problem. How can somone make a tv show out of the worlds most popular franchise and not make it live up to how the characters are in the games? They knew regardless of what they say whether this is a different timeline or whatever that the halo fans will be FURIOUS of how they made this
Lore Chief vs mister cheeks is not even competition. Your better off sending a Spartan IV to spare with chief. Scratch that send in an Ultra Elite to have an even remotely satisfying match to see.
Not even master chief in the books/halo 4 master chief acts even remotely close to john halo. (That feeling when you remember halo 4 shows us a little more of chief's human side and you cried at the ending, then in halo 5 all of the stuff halo 4 built was thrown in the dumpster, librarians gift, janis keys, cortanas "death." All just act as if none of those happened
I don't know, i think Chief started to suck in Halo 4. He starts talking way too much, asking questions like a dumb child. The Chief in the original trilogy would just arrive, listen to what needed to be done and do it.
@@okagron Yeah, i don't hate H4 Chief but don't like him as much as OG Trilogy Chief either, to me he is John Halo, and the TV show dude is Jimmy Rings.
@@superk9letsplays419 It's not really an excuse. I do agree that its "convenient" that shes 8 years old at the start of Halo 4. But honesly, we needed some sort of time skip from Halo 3 to 4. And AI rampancy was already established in the Halo lore. 343 can't just ignore that. She was gonna loose it sooner or later I still don't like that story overall but I wasn't in disbelief over it.
Master Cheeks: It's the biggest piece of dog sh!t I've ever seen. Master Chief: *That's what I'm talking about! That's why he's MVP! That's why he's the GOAT!! THE GOOOOAAAATTT!!!*
The sad part is the story and lore are so good that alone would have attracted a massive audience. Not to mention how easily accessible it is. Well, at least the Bungie lore. I honestly have no clue why the show's writers thought otherwise and felt like they needed to butcher it. P.S. Already, I wasn't a fan of Pablo Schreiber's performance of Chief, but the fact he publicly defended the bad writing made me dislike him even more.
I use to say they need to make a doom series with doomslayer but from what seeing doom guy might become a straight up jackass that brings a rose to some girl and say hugs and kisses instead of rip and tear
This is why video game creators are so special, the lore and stories they tell are so far beyond the political and marketing agendas of hollywood and the film/tv industry. Thankfully video games have not been pulluted by the industry which makes them so compelling, genuine and unique. Its no wonder when the film/tv industry tries to adapt to a video game that they will always fall short...
I don't think they fall short on Sonic, I genuinely enjoyed the movie and the Sonic characterization. And god the casting of Jim Carrey as Eggman was perfect, a fun villain that manages to be funny and cool in the same time. I never thought Hollywood will ever make a pure evil villain ever again but they did.
@@jase276 Lol exactly what I was thinking, this guy missed the boat years ago 😂 ever since “gamer gate” games have been infested by progressive ideology.
@Kristopher Prime Female Spartans existed since the first Halo, and you were able to make them 10 years ago with Bungie's Reach. Now please tell me how the ability to have a black or female character ruins gaming?
This is literally the first actual footage I'm seeing of this show, and goddamn the reviews don't do it justice. Man literally looks 3 seconds away from crying at all times. Whose fucking idea was this?
Imagine if the TV series followed Spartan II’s on missions. Like we could see more of Arthur, Solomon, Cal, Daisy, and Jorge. We could see Jorge BECOME the ‘Gentle Giant’. In Legends we hear Solomon say “I’ll take my chances” implying he has arrogance to an extent. Cal ONLY talks when she is forced to, her being the ‘Strong and Silent Type’, even more so than Chief. It could also give the novel characters some real exposure, like Naomi from the Kilo-Five books. Musa failed augmentation but kickstarted the Spartan IV program. These characters behave differently so it wouldn’t get boring. Overtime, we could see episodes from the perspective of the Marines or ODSTs to change it up a little. Hell, even an episode from the Covenant or Insurrectionist perspectives would be awesome.
Can someone name me one film that was done based on a video game, that didn't flop hard af? I think Tomb Raider is probably the only decent video game inspired film ever.
Just imagine if Halo has a multiverse like the MCU. The Master Chief we know and love appears in the bathroom where Master Cheeks is naked and SHOOTS him with his pistol. Just like the post credits scene in Deadpool 2 where Deadpool SHOOTS the terrible rendition from X-Men Origins while Wolverine is just standing there!
usually I just blame the writing...but this guy a shit actor...he doesnt know the first thing about master chief and feels like he want his face exposure as much as possible because he wants people to know he's the master chief actor...a horrible representation of master chief though
@@davemccombs The person I really feel sorry for is Jen Taylor. She's the only original member of the cast, and she's basically playing a somehow even worse version of Halo 5 Cortana.
blame the show writers. they made the script which makes the helm come off. The actor even said it was stupid. I feel bad for Cortana. The only person from the games to come work on the show was given a script worse then 5. And at least 5 was somewhat good story wise, could have been lengthened but then again it was only added because everyone was pissed that there wouldn't be a campaign..
Master Chief will always be the best character in the Halo games and animation movies the Halo TV show is trash to do who plays him is ugly and trash garbage love the original voice actor for Master Chief Steve Downes is the best actor he should stick with him he's great awesome amazing incredible
What they tried to was make master chief into more human character in few episodes when we got that over years of games and books. The relationship between cheeks and cortana seems interesting but how it ended in last episode made me more pissed than anything. I liked how they made Halsey for sure, a lot less of a mother figure and just more cold and calculative.
All we are asking for as fans, is a dramatic realisation of halo 1-2. Keep the costumes, characters and voice actors accurate where possible. AND LEAVE IT AT THAT FFS!!!!

Bungie themselves found some backlash with the introduction of the Arbiter, for the most part it turned out to be successful, but not enough for that experience to be repeated in Halo 3. 343i completely ignored the formula when they made Halo 4, this is why from Halo 4 and forth it doesn't feel like Halo, it doesn't have what made Halo so big, so successful. In consequence, the series has no reason to be any good; it doesn't have anything that made the original games good, not even the music. It infuriates me that people don't get this. Some may like Halo 4, many like Halo Infinite, and it would be absurd for me to claim they are bad games; I think they are great games, but they are terrible Halo games. Take a look at the best levels of each original game; Silent Cartographer, Delta Halo, The Covenant; what do they have in common? Absurdly well designed levels, beautiful landscapes, music to die for, vehicle action, on foot action, they have everything that makes Halo what it should be. Now take a look at Halo 4, 5 and Infinite; can you tell me, with a straight face, that any of the levels in those games even comes close to the aforementioned? Let's talk about the TV Show; it doesn't have anything that makes Halo what it is, it doesn't even have things that can be found in other franchises that make them good; it's generic, boring, bland, plain, it lacks grandiose and polish. Other than modern tech and cool graphics, nothing 343i and Microsoft have done with Halo since Reach has even come close. 343i and Microsoft took the Halo name and squandered it.
I agree and thank you for this. Bungie understood that character comes from the situation a person is thrown into and having them react genuinely.
The 'where' and 'why', as you say, is how writers and designer bring forth the 'who' and 'what'.
It's why it's more often that one has an idea for a narrative set of events, setting etc. Then develops characters for it because otherwise the characters don't fit into the setting. That's my perspective anyway.
That's not Master Chief, that's Master Queef.
The halo tv show was a mistake.
"You told me there wouldn't be any cameras"
"And you told me you were gonna wear somethin nice"
It was a great line showing us master chiefs more human (meaning his ability to joke with a friend) side and in my opinion was better than cheeks
Literally every single emotional moment that Chief had across the games, books and comics, roll it all into one, and you get 20 seconds of Cheeks' outbursts. Taking a stoic character and making them lash out endlessly is heresy.
Master chief is the 🐐
Yes sir he is
@@frank-b6169 the name master cheeks is actually hilarious
Master Chief wins.
No Diff
Master Cheeks eliminated
Bro the best part of all of this is that even this pretender can't tarnish Chief's legacy. They are like two separate people in my mind. But one is just wearing Mark IV. The other IS Mark IV
I laughed a little when you said one is wearing while the other IS the armor but when I think back on the games it is a safe conclusion
I expected this to be a funny little edit I could get a quick laugh from, but then I seen denzel and this shit went hard af 💀 💀
All they had to do was to copy The Mandalorian, and they couldn't even do that.
This video illustrates the problem perfectly
What happens when a major production company hires a writing team of fifth and sixth wave feminists and beta males to write script for the most alpha-male in history? You get Master Cheeks.
*facepalm* feminism is not the problem. The problem is bad writing.
@@Sanya6496
There. Fixed it.
You're right that feminism isn't the problem; the problem is feminism ended more than a decade ago. Everything since then has been thinly veiled misandry.
@@josephsheranda Still wrong.
@@Sanya6496
Whatever. 🙄 You're clearly part of the problem.
@@josephsheranda Still wrong.
The Writers of this show can go to hell with their "We want to appeal to a broader audience" BS. The Halo Fanbase is millions strong. The videogames and books provide all the assistance needed to honor the canon Master Chief. FML
Is he really a master or is he just mister cheeks?
Hold on, you’re telling me that second part of the video was legit not part of some fever dream?! The second metal green guy isn’t a figment of my imagination!! Oh my….There is a God in Heaven! When I saw the imposter naked I figured I must have dreamed up the other guy as a biological response to suppress the anger, disappointment, and nausea.
you knowhow in a multiverse there are stronger iterations of different characters. Master cheeks is the weakest, honestly think that Wash could easily beat him even with plot armor.
Master Chief is the most simple character. Get the job done. Say very little. Do what is necessary.
And they somehow managed to mess that up.
They tried so hard to humanize him when in reality they made him unrelatable to game Chief
People after watching she show then playing the game for the first time “Wait master chief isn’t an asshole crybaby”
Mando asking about Chief::: Who’s he? I like him.
The problem with the people who directed this show didnt bother playing the games. That's the problem. How can somone make a tv show out of the worlds most popular franchise and not make it live up to how the characters are in the games? They knew regardless of what they say whether this is a different timeline or whatever that the halo fans will be FURIOUS of how they made this
Lore Chief vs mister cheeks is not even competition. Your better off sending a Spartan IV to spare with chief. Scratch that send in an Ultra Elite to have an even remotely satisfying match to see.
The show has never made me appreciate the REAL Chief as much as after i watched it.
One-liner Master Chief is the best Master Chief
Also don't forget in the books Sergeant Johnson gives Master Chief the n pass, and in the Silver timeline there isn't Johnson so automatic L
Not even master chief in the books/halo 4 master chief acts even remotely close to john halo.
(That feeling when you remember halo 4 shows us a little more of chief's human side and you cried at the ending, then in halo 5 all of the stuff halo 4 built was thrown in the dumpster, librarians gift, janis keys, cortanas "death." All just act as if none of those happened
I don't know, i think Chief started to suck in Halo 4. He starts talking way too much, asking questions like a dumb child. The Chief in the original trilogy would just arrive, listen to what needed to be done and do it.
@@okagron Yeah, i don't hate H4 Chief but don't like him as much as OG Trilogy Chief either, to me he is John Halo, and the TV show dude is Jimmy Rings.
@@EatThePath-7 I didn't like halo 4 in general but they got some parts rignt. I didn't like the stupid rampancy excuse for cortana being weird
@@superk9letsplays419 It's not really an excuse. I do agree that its "convenient" that shes 8 years old at the start of Halo 4. But honesly, we needed some sort of time skip from Halo 3 to 4.
And AI rampancy was already established in the Halo lore. 343 can't just ignore that. She was gonna loose it sooner or later
I still don't like that story overall but I wasn't in disbelief over it.
@@lobehold2263 oh wait really? I thought they just pulled it from nowhere, the whole rampancy thing
Master Cheeks: It's the biggest piece of dog sh!t I've ever seen.
Master Chief: *That's what I'm talking about! That's why he's MVP! That's why he's the GOAT!! THE GOOOOAAAATTT!!!*
Bruh the real chief would’ve had none of that shit and straight up torn them to shreds armor or no armor
The sad part is the story and lore are so good that alone would have attracted a massive audience. Not to mention how easily accessible it is. Well, at least the Bungie lore. I honestly have no clue why the show's writers thought otherwise and felt like they needed to butcher it.
P.S.
Already, I wasn't a fan of Pablo Schreiber's performance of Chief, but the fact he publicly defended the bad writing made me dislike him even more.
I use to say they need to make a doom series with doomslayer but from what seeing doom guy might become a straight up jackass that brings a rose to some girl and say hugs and kisses instead of rip and tear
This is why video game creators are so special, the lore and stories they tell are so far beyond the political and marketing agendas of hollywood and the film/tv industry. Thankfully video games have not been pulluted by the industry which makes them so compelling, genuine and unique. Its no wonder when the film/tv industry tries to adapt to a video game that they will always fall short...
I don't think they fall short on Sonic, I genuinely enjoyed the movie and the Sonic characterization. And god the casting of Jim Carrey as Eggman was perfect, a fun villain that manages to be funny and cool in the same time. I never thought Hollywood will ever make a pure evil villain ever again but they did.
Uhh idk where you've been because video games have most definitely been polluted.
@@jase276
Lol exactly what I was thinking, this guy missed the boat years ago 😂 ever since “gamer gate” games have been infested by progressive ideology.
@Kristopher Prime Female Spartans existed since the first Halo, and you were able to make them 10 years ago with Bungie's Reach.
Now please tell me how the ability to have a black or female character ruins gaming?
NEED PART 2! PART 2!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😭😭😭
The OMEGA ALPHA GIGA CHAD MASTER CHIEF.
the omega in cell virgin energy master cheeks
It took Cortana taking over Master Cheeks lifeless corpse to have a more lore accurate chief
Me before the halo tv show: DAMN I WANT A HALO SHOW!!!
Me after the TV show: yeah fuk that....
Why Did Paramount + Do Him Dirty Like That?!?!?! 😩
Edit: He Gave Me A Heart lol
This is literally the first actual footage I'm seeing of this show, and goddamn the reviews don't do it justice. Man literally looks 3 seconds away from crying at all times. Whose fucking idea was this?
Imagine if the TV series followed Spartan II’s on missions. Like we could see more of Arthur, Solomon, Cal, Daisy, and Jorge. We could see Jorge BECOME the ‘Gentle Giant’. In Legends we hear Solomon say “I’ll take my chances” implying he has arrogance to an extent. Cal ONLY talks when she is forced to, her being the ‘Strong and Silent Type’, even more so than Chief. It could also give the novel characters some real exposure, like Naomi from the Kilo-Five books. Musa failed augmentation but kickstarted the Spartan IV program. These characters behave differently so it wouldn’t get boring. Overtime, we could see episodes from the perspective of the Marines or ODSTs to change it up a little. Hell, even an episode from the Covenant or Insurrectionist perspectives would be awesome.
Can someone name me one film that was done based on a video game, that didn't flop hard af? I think Tomb Raider is probably the only decent video game inspired film ever.
Maybe Sonic and Detective Pikachu. That is the extent of it. At least in how much it may capture the spirit of the original.
man fuck what they did with chief in the show
the point of his character was to STAY in the armor....NOT TAKE IT OFF
Just imagine if Halo has a multiverse like the MCU. The Master Chief we know and love appears in the bathroom where Master Cheeks is naked and SHOOTS him with his pistol. Just like the post credits scene in Deadpool 2 where Deadpool SHOOTS the terrible rendition from X-Men Origins while Wolverine is just standing there!
usually I just blame the writing...but this guy a shit actor...he doesnt know the first thing about master chief and feels like he want his face exposure as much as possible because he wants people to know he's the master chief actor...a horrible representation of master chief though
There's actually an interview where he says it was the writers who insisted that Chief had/takes his helmet off all the time in the show.
@@nercksrule For sure. It's a trash fire, but Pablo Schrieber is actually a really good actor, going by any of his other roles.
@@davemccombs The person I really feel sorry for is Jen Taylor. She's the only original member of the cast, and she's basically playing a somehow even worse version of Halo 5 Cortana.
You can't blame the man for simply following the script
blame the show writers. they made the script which makes the helm come off. The actor even said it was stupid. I feel bad for Cortana. The only person from the games to come work on the show was given a script worse then 5. And at least 5 was somewhat good story wise, could have been lengthened but then again it was only added because everyone was pissed that there wouldn't be a campaign..
La cara del Jefe maestro en la serie debió ser una satisfacción poco recibida, debieron darla a ver a lo mucho 3 veces y luego todo el rato con casco
the halo tv show is basically everyone if they had they mentality of a spartan iv
This is epic rap battles of history worthy now
Master Chief will always be the best character in the Halo games and animation movies the Halo TV show is trash to do who plays him is ugly and trash garbage love the original voice actor for Master Chief Steve Downes is the best actor he should stick with him he's great awesome amazing incredible
Alpha af
0:49 FACTS
NEVER call that guy Master Chief again
Bro, the best part of all of this was seeing Chief snap that crisp salute. Good to see him actually repping proper military customs and courtesies
It's literally some dude. In what way is that Chief
WE CAN AGREE HALO ONLY HAS 1 LIVE ACTION SHOW & IS FORWARD UNTO DOWN
No giving the covenant back their bomb
Maybe next time
After finally watching it I see why it's called master cheecks
Master Cheeks got two cool action sequences and the studio decided that's enough, everything else will be total, literal ass
the moment master chief said "tell that to the covenant " i was hyped😇 and i instantly liked the video😇
Just the fact alone we didnt even see anything badass combat scenes, just shows how pityful master cheeks is
We needs more contrast videos till thats all thats trending on this subject. Get the message out to master cheeks..
0:30 This john guy really hates the cameraman.
What they tried to was make master chief into more human character in few episodes when we got that over years of games and books. The relationship between cheeks and cortana seems interesting but how it ended in last episode made me more pissed than anything. I liked how they made Halsey for sure, a lot less of a mother figure and just more cold and calculative.
This deserves way more views imo
This is this generation's Godzilla 1998
Let’s get the music switched and see how good it still is
Master Chief with a face is like watching all those years of playing halo go down the drain. smh
#freeysl
At the very least, it’s not cannon.
Master Cheeks lol, this show sucks
A guy who was brainwashed since childhood and physically can't feel emotions vs how women write men.
From Master Chief to master shit.
You didn't get the"I Need a Weapon" set them cheeks straight.
One of my favorite Giga-Chief quotes: “Thought I’d try shooting my way out…mix things up a little.”
Need Halo Follower to animate a "lore accurate" fight between Pablo and The Chief.
It's not master checks, it's mustard checks
I mean, THEY DONT EVEN NEED TO SHOW HIS FACE. I was actually disappointed when i saw his face😂
All we are asking for as fans, is a dramatic realisation of halo 1-2. Keep the costumes, characters and voice actors accurate where possible. AND LEAVE IT AT THAT FFS!!!!
master chief > mister cheeks
Could've been Paramount+ 's 'Mandalorian'. Oops.
After watching Master cheeks show I don't want a series or movie about my man Doom Guy, cause they'll ruin everything
Nice edit bro 👌 I could rip that show apart. Complete missed opportunity.
