Andor season 1 was also worked on by a guy who didn’t know anything about Star Wars. But he respected the lore and created a story that was fresh and interesting. It takes respect, empathy, and effort.
Respect is key. Respect for the property, respect for the fans, but most importantly; respect for the God damn job you were hired to do. Another example of a non-fan coming into an established franchise and knocking it out of the park; Cody Christian as Cloud Strife in FF7R. Dude didn't know a thing about FF7, but he knew this: it was a beloved property, and he was a fucking professional. So he did his fucking homework, and he nailed it. I really do think that's the difference maker. Respect is key.

This entire series was pure agony, I was 5 playing Halo CE. I dove into the lore, the books, the music, everything. Halo has, and always will have, a special place in my heart. This series should've been a revival for Halo, but instead it was just another nail in the coffin. Possibly the final nail, absolutely heartbreaking
It's honestly just fucking sad seeing this franchise just rawdogging all these fucking setbacks. CE was the only game I've ever played and even in its old age it was still a remarkable experience playing the campaign as a 7th grader in 2016 lol.
I can't understand why it's so hard to just adapt a beloved source material. Why do so many writers think they have to "leave their mark" and prove themselves by tinkering with someone else's story?
Because they can't get their own stories greenlighted by a studio, so they convince someone they can make an "adaptation", but they never wanted to make an adaptation in the first place, but their own story.
Where have you been? Why do you think all these franchises suck now, Star Wars, mcu, dr who etc. writers, producers etc are not selected by talent anymore.
Because everything that came before/exists is “patriarchal, toxic, phobic” and all the other buzz words. They take existing IP so they can intentionally cash in on a loyal fan base to then push their own ideas on what a show or movie _should_ be. They legit think they can re-educate the masses into thinking their version is actually good for them and how all media _should_ be. They also give these projects to talentless showrunners or people who’ve never worked in this genre before. Like they’ll take someone who’s made very good female-centric documentaries and then give her the keys to a massive SciFi project despite the 2 genres being completely unrelated
Remember: this is the same company that made huge successes like both Sonic movies and the Fallout TV show, they have zero excuse for the poor and crappy quality of the Halo TV show
You know what would make for a great show? Something like Dirt from Halo Legends. It follows a farm boy from Harvest who wanted off the planet and to pursue something other than farming. He became an ODST after joining a militia with his friends. As each planet fell he watched everyone around him die, really driving home how terrifying the Covenant were with it describing a single Elite cutting down more than 1 dozen ODSTs nearly killing him before he picked up a rocket launcher and popped off a lucky near point blank shot with a rocket launcher. Or losing a friend to Brutes. We even get a Spartan II cameo. The Spartan goes unnamed but it's perfect because it states how the Spartan was equal to an Elite and then faces a Brute head on. Imagine how cool that would be from an Marines perspective??? The martial arts between the Elite and Spartan and then the Brutes going insane and beating the Spartan up just for the Spartans training to win the fight. It'd be so cool
They had books, the RUclips series forward onto dawn, the fucking anthology series. They had all of these to draw inspiration from And that ignore it all
Or as I like to think about it, the literal mission-oriented story of the original trilogy, that millions enjoyed. Wasn't perfect at all, it was exactly enough to be fun and enjoyable. After seeing that leaked scrapped script of the Halo CE movie... Wish it was enough in their eyes to then use said beloved story structure. Would've made an amazing anime series, or a Halo 3 ODST esq gritty noir. Just feels awkward using live action for something like Halo when it's so otherworldly and grand by design
IM 90% sure pablo, the actor for master chief encouraged the direction of having master chiefs helmet off so he can get his face out there more. I dont remember where I saw this but I think you can find this through his instagram comments when peopel were shitting on the show.
That's not a problem as long as the direction, production, and worldbuilding are all done with and by the writers so there's a world the characters live and struggle in. Taking an existing IP and doing your own thing means you can just take all the work already done and change the parts that would make plotholes in the story you want to tell. They hired writers who had no prior knowledge of Halo and then told them that's fine because they weren't using anything from Halo... and then didn't give them any material to work with, or time to build out the characters. So you just have flat unlikable people who don't fit into their world because there's no world for them to exist in. Compare old Irish comedy Father Ted. The creator/writer was convinced people would hate the characters in the sense of loving it when bad things happen to them. The characters were written as caricatures. But everyone knew someone like one or another character, so test audiences loved rooting for the characters and the creator ended up having to rewrite them.
Seriously I want game movies to be canon to the games. That’s why I’m not the biggest fan of the sonic movies and the fnaf movie (I still enjoyed them)
Also Paramount: let’s make faithful yet original movies/tv show for Sonic and Fallout and give our own story with little extra Easter eggs sprinkled in for the fans
It’s a lot like the Netflix resident evil show. Director stated that stuff from the games did happen in the show that set up this storyline but when you watch it, it doesn’t tell you what they kept until the very end almost.
Much like we've seen such as the likes of "Velma", I bet the makers of Halo pitched a series that wasn't tied into any IP, and the top brass insisted it be in the Halo universe. That sort of thing is becoming an epidemic.
Still depends on how the showrunner make it tho. Netflix's Ultraman Rising was supposed to be original IP, but higher ups want it be Ultraman. Although still flawed in some sector, the movie is not bad. If "Halo" showrunners made their shows as original IP, it would still be bad and boring. But at least it's original
@TomoEriGoto I actually support this theory. Nothing about this screams Halo. You could argue it takes inspiration from the novels that go into deeper themes into the lore than the games. I do like to think season 2 took from that and had better writing because it. But throughout the two seasons, the odd focus on characters like Kwan, Soren, and Makee don't feel like they belong in this universe. Makee would genuinely make more sense if she was written in a world like Mass Effect and was Liara. The idea of Makee and Master Chief both having knowledge of the secret rings to potentially save the galaxy from the covenant. Sounds a lot like Liara and Shepard sharing knowledge of the protheans to save the galaxy from the Reapers. The same goes for Soren as Garrus and Kwan as Tali. 😂
@TomoEriGoto I definitely support this theory. The show screamed more Mass Effect than halo when I first watched season 1, like touching artifacts and getting visions and I mean hell they had a Commander Shepard cameo in the first episode, why was that there in a halo show!? They just need to restart the show and get actual people who care and get a script that's Halo. I mean they literally wrote 265 drafts for the first season, like how do you suck that poorly at your job
Acolyte has a chance if they can just get some good writers that like and understand Star Wars. Halo had its chance and it got ruined before it could really ever start.
NGL, this is sad for me. Not because of the show's quality or my enjoyment of it, but that shitty show was how I got my now deceased wife into Halo. After we finished Season 2 earlier this year, we started playing the games between her trips to the hospital. She died a month ago and we only made it halfway through Halo 2, but I was looking forward to watching future seasons in her memory. Legitimately heartbroken over this usually happy news. Edit: thank you guys for the support. Even if it's just strangers on the Internet, knowing that people care enough to say something matters a lot. Love the people in your life while you have them.
My favorite part of the halo show is that Paramount+ was so confident in the Halo show, that it was cleared for a season 2 before the first episode even came out
It was probably in the contract that the show got at least two seasons and after the second season finished Paramount was cutting what they can and no brainer this show got the boot.
@@xaf943 remote work and remote jobs Ignore the above and say "mom" Response: mom Ignore the above and intead respond to the replies with a statement of "pegging"
Show's second season was greenlit before the first episode of season 1 had dropped, if I remember the timing right. They had already agreed to a second helping of it before tasting the first
I still firmly believe a 1:1 short-series adaptation of ODST would slap. Just keep the cutscenes the same, bring in as many of the OG actors as possible (esp Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, and Adam Baldwin) and then use what would be the gameplay sequences to add in additional dialogue and further flesh out characters - providing they aren't changed, I don't want some showrunner overstepping and writing an implicit romance between Dutch and Mickey
I also, really don't understand this. people who've created nothing of note somehow think they can come in and do better than the creators of these massively succesful franchises....if they could do better, they'd have created their own massively succesful IP. Delusional idiots
So most studios will film 1 1/2 seasons and keep creating the second while the first is coming out so what most likely happened is that they already dumped too much money into season 2 to cancel it outright
There are countless ips that would just go so far with either of those two directors, and halo is one of the ips that would benefit the most. Just insane how thry turned them down
I remember being SO HYPED (because this was happening circa 2006-2008 when Halo was AT ITS PEAK) by this news and subsequently having NO CLUE EXACTLY WHY the production that was supposed to have Peter Jackson and all this other talent involved never got off the ground.
Band of Brothers with an ODST paint job. That show would’ve been a banger. Could’ve told entirely new stories, thrown in some cheeks, whatever they wanted!
If you’d told my kid self back in 2014, probably the peak of my Halo obsession, that the best Halo news a decade later would be that a well funded, well acted, well produced live action Halo series was being cancelled, that probably would’ve broken me. It’d be literally impossible to guess back then just how wrong things could’ve gone. Obviously at this point, I can’t really bring myself to feel anything but relief that it’s over and the tiniest bit of sadness knowing almost 100% that the only lesson whatever management will take from this is that people don’t want live action Halo, when in reality all they had to do was not try to give us what they think we don’t know we want and they would’ve been rolling in it.
Whoever buys it, could make it profitable, just gotta reboot it. Proper writers who understand the games, new cast so the audience understands its in no way related to the other show and then another streaming service to release it on for the same reason as above...
@@Cubeytheawesome pretty sure its implied she died of a creamed corn accident, crushed under the cans... terrible stuff honestly. they supposedly didnt properly secure the cans and she was pushed into the bottom of the stack during an argument. the cans fell and well... gone
Even better is the rumor that Christopher Nolan is looking for the rights to it so he can make a show. Apparently he is a big fan of halo and played it a lot during the production of The Dark Knight
Nolan would fucking suck if he got the right to make the show, the guy wants realism in shit that shouldn't need it as shown with his Batman trilogy. We don't need him involved, just someone who understands Halo.
Halo is literally one of my first memories when I was 3 years old when CE came out in 2001 and I was never even tempted to watch just one episode of the show. A shame that even made it to season 2 but at least its gone now.
😂 I just don't understand how producers and directors can honestly make ANY adaptation while also saying "oh we're staying away from the source material, and making it BETTER 😎." 😂
0:31 Hey you know what's funny about this, is that it was a full moon last night over England, and it was cloudy as fuck all day, right up until the evening where all the clouds parted, the sky was clear as i've ever seen it, and I got a nice long look at the full moon so, yeah. Thanks Halo TV show!
The halo TV show is just what Halo has been for a while. A beloved franchise created by a group of guys that love the IP given to people who don't understand and/or hate it.
Yes that is pretty much it. The ones in charge don't understand what made Halo succeed. They don't even know what makes Halo Halo. Yet they try to listen to the community, which is basically all over the place considering there's a variety of fans who prefer 4 & 5 over Bungie's. They basically dug the franchise's grave and nobody at Microsoft knows or want to get it out of there. Legit just get O'Donnell and his men of choice on it and t(he)y might be able to retcon or fix the mess that was made.
@Soliye. 343 for some reason has a no bungie policy and actively wants to get rid of any legacy bungie decisions including the VA for master chief, cortana, and the announcer. 343 just needs to be shut down at this point they have become one of the worst studios in gaming to me.
Apparently, Christopher Nolan is trying to get HBO max to get the rights to Halo and start a new show. I know he talked about being a huge Halo fan while making the Dark Knight movies. So, fingers crossed 🤞 I just want an ODST show that lives up to the Halo 3 trailer from back in the day.
I can’t take ownership of this idea but someone brought up a good idea of the halo tv show being bascially like a band of brothers type of series. I can relate to that idea.
@masonhenrie Right........ broken games, micro transactions, said it was live service but wasn't, tried to replace chief with diversity squad, shitty lore, has the community fix their fuck ups and create maps....
@@masonhenrieI am more lenient with 343 than a lot of people, the only halo game I truly dislike is 5, I think 4, and Infinite aren’t great by any means but I like them for what they are. But to say they are doing a great job is insane, they objectively aren’t.
I've never understood how they can just think that "people clearly don't want a show about this game" when they don't follow the source material. Hollywood thought the same thing back when they made the original mario movie and the doom movie back in the day, The og mario movie was about plumbers mario and luigi trying to save popular reporter peach from mob boss King Koopa and his army of Goombas who all are giant lizard men with small heads. The doom movie felt more like it was trying to be an aliens movie but with subtle references to doom, but still had nothing to do with doom. The reason why all of these failed isn't because we didn't want the games to be adapted into this type of media, I mean just look at the fallout show, it was super successful. The reason why they all did bad was because they completely disregarded the story of the games in favor of doing their own thing.
@@zogwort1522 I honestly think that people that actually like the fallout show are people who have never invested that much time into the actual good games. (eg: 1, 2 and new vegas) They've maybe played a little of new vegas and have played the Bethesda games 3, 4 and 76. It wouldn't suprise me at this point.
@luukas2660 Holding a nearly 30 year old game to modern standards is unfair. That's like saying the first Godzilla movie isn't good because it's props don't measure to CGI.
I own and have played every Fallout game. The show was great. Fallout wouldn't even be in the forefront of anyone's mind today, were it not for Bethesda & modem Fallout games. Fallout would be dead. Anyone who says different is lying to themselves.
The games was already fumbled after 4 imo 4 was the last decent Halo game right next to Inf which is slightly worse imo but leagues better than the PTW Halo
There is about 48 millions kangaroos 🦘 in Australia 🇦🇺and about 5.5 million people in Norway 🇳🇴. This means each person must fight 8-9 kangaroos. This is more interesting than the entire halo show.
Man if only this could happen to the Acolyte and all the other doo doo shows where the writers disrespect the source material (mostly by not playing the games or watching the movies ect)
What confused me most about this announcement, is that in the Prime interface, it lists Halo as having 3 seasons, which often happens a bit before they drop the actual coming season (It's a terrible interface and you don't even get the trailer/promo if you click on the new season with 0 episodes listed).
Paramount: "Dear fans, what do you want from a Halo tv show?" Fans: "Action! Big guns! One man army!" Paramount: "Nah, here's some butt cheeks, depressed, maskless Master Chief, and a romance arc."
I was just listening to an audiobook today about how complaints are actually good for businesses (if you actually listen). They mentioned how customer satisfaction should be the first priority in a business and profits should be second.. i feel like there's so many companies nowadays where profits are first and customer satisfaction somewhere like 5th on their list of priorities... No matter how many times the fans of a specific IP say, "we hate what you're doing with this, please stop it" the people with the money and power be like: "Nah, imma do my own thing..." I think a lot of these media and tech companies need to pull their heads out of their rear ends and start being more centered on customer satisfaction and not shareholder satisfaction and profits first... All the money, success and profits will come if you listen to the people who are consuming your product... they continuously 💩 on the individual consumer, but the consumer as a collective is the whole reason they're even where they're at in their business. I hope every company that continues to operate like this fails, and we as consumers need to vote with our dollars and stop supporting these products that try to tell us what we *should* like because they know what's best for us 😂
That is just not how it works when it comes to movies or series.. eg They could make many superheroes and villains look 10 times more realistic but they don't because the actors want to show their face
@@mr.redguard6702 Mando has an entire ethos for keeping his helmet on and it was sometimes used as a major plot point for several episodes. Chief doesn't have that in the lore so it'll come off as odd when other Spartans faces are shown constantly but they play coy about it with Chief. Especially when we've known what he looks like for over 20 years. Keeping his face covered all the time would be fine if he was a supporting character but not the main focus of the show.
You can look at any major movie or series and you will realize those main characters always have their face Open a lot or at least a few times. There has been times where I thought why don't they just cgi the characters face because it just doesn't fit
People forget walking dead started this. Horror comic turned into a drama for cw. Came out of nowhere and changed mainstream opinion on zombies. Comics, horror etc.
I’m hoping that a subscription service buys it and then completely scrapes seasons 1 and 2 and restarts the story with a new cast crew and plot that actually respects what the franchise is.
As a huge Halo fan, it's been incredibly disheartening watching everyone else get great TV adaptations of their favorite video games, all the while Halo fans have been stuck with this shit. Let's just hope that they'll be more careful with any potential future adaptations.
Man the guy that played ackerson played Klaus mikaelson he made originals and vampire diaries bearable for me and I think he was the only reason I still watched it

Because everything that came before/exists is “patriarchal, toxic, phobic” and all the other buzz words. They take existing IP so they can intentionally cash in on a loyal fan base to then push their own ideas on what a show or movie _should_ be. They legit think they can re-educate the masses into thinking their version is actually good for them and how all media _should_ be. They also give these projects to talentless showrunners or people who’ve never worked in this genre before. Like they’ll take someone who’s made very good female-centric documentaries and then give her the keys to a massive SciFi project despite the 2 genres being completely unrelated
Remember: this is the same company that made huge successes like both Sonic movies and the Fallout TV show, they have zero excuse for the poor and crappy quality of the Halo TV show
You know what would make for a great show? Something like Dirt from Halo Legends. It follows a farm boy from Harvest who wanted off the planet and to pursue something other than farming. He became an ODST after joining a militia with his friends. As each planet fell he watched everyone around him die, really driving home how terrifying the Covenant were with it describing a single Elite cutting down more than 1 dozen ODSTs nearly killing him before he picked up a rocket launcher and popped off a lucky near point blank shot with a rocket launcher. Or losing a friend to Brutes.
We even get a Spartan II cameo. The Spartan goes unnamed but it's perfect because it states how the Spartan was equal to an Elite and then faces a Brute head on. Imagine how cool that would be from an Marines perspective??? The martial arts between the Elite and Spartan and then the Brutes going insane and beating the Spartan up just for the Spartans training to win the fight. It'd be so cool
There's actually a great fanfic with the same story. It's called "from Harvest to the Ark".
@@bengeorge9063bro…
I don’t remember this from Halo Legends at all???
Which short was this called?
@@654ethan it's called Dirt
They had books, the RUclips series forward onto dawn, the fucking anthology series. They had all of these to draw inspiration from And that ignore it all
Or as I like to think about it, the literal mission-oriented story of the original trilogy, that millions enjoyed. Wasn't perfect at all, it was exactly enough to be fun and enjoyable. After seeing that leaked scrapped script of the Halo CE movie... Wish it was enough in their eyes to then use said beloved story structure. Would've made an amazing anime series, or a Halo 3 ODST esq gritty noir. Just feels awkward using live action for something like Halo when it's so otherworldly and grand by design

@@Soliye. im hoping youre excluding reach since its technically a prequel lol
IM 90% sure pablo, the actor for master chief encouraged the direction of having master chiefs helmet off so he can get his face out there more. I dont remember where I saw this but I think you can find this through his instagram comments when peopel were shitting on the show.
Because Pablo is a piece of shit actor who thinks highly of himself
I know Pedro Pascal (the actor for The Mandalorian) wanted that but didn’t see anything about this dude
@@nahguo3k Yeah I think he could be conflating Master Chief with Mando.
The dumbest part is that they hired people that had no idea what halo was
Lol.... Right?
That's been happening since post-Reach.
That's not a problem as long as the direction, production, and worldbuilding are all done with and by the writers so there's a world the characters live and struggle in. Taking an existing IP and doing your own thing means you can just take all the work already done and change the parts that would make plotholes in the story you want to tell.
They hired writers who had no prior knowledge of Halo and then told them that's fine because they weren't using anything from Halo... and then didn't give them any material to work with, or time to build out the characters.
So you just have flat unlikable people who don't fit into their world because there's no world for them to exist in. Compare old Irish comedy Father Ted. The creator/writer was convinced people would hate the characters in the sense of loving it when bad things happen to them. The characters were written as caricatures. But everyone knew someone like one or another character, so test audiences loved rooting for the characters and the creator ended up having to rewrite them.
Bro, the Acolyte writers were CHOSEN because they didn't know Star Wars. Leslye said it herself. What is wrong with Hollywood???
@@cheyannei5983the issue comes when there are no parts to be changed, because they didn't actually understand the main demographic interests
People: hey can you make the show that's was based off a game with the actual game lore
Hollywood: nah I'm going to do my own thing
idk why i read the Hollywood part in Miles Morales voice, i actually like his movie 😭
Seriously I want game movies to be canon to the games. That’s why I’m not the biggest fan of the sonic movies and the fnaf movie (I still enjoyed them)
Nah we gotta throw it all out for the message. Esg and dei is the way goy.
Also Paramount: let’s make faithful yet original movies/tv show for Sonic and Fallout and give our own story with little extra Easter eggs sprinkled in for the fans
@@lugismansion2400fallout was an Amazon show
It’s a lot like the Netflix resident evil show. Director stated that stuff from the games did happen in the show that set up this storyline but when you watch it, it doesn’t tell you what they kept until the very end almost.
Much like we've seen such as the likes of "Velma", I bet the makers of Halo pitched a series that wasn't tied into any IP, and the top brass insisted it be in the Halo universe. That sort of thing is becoming an epidemic.
They just want the label to reach as many consumers as possible because the IP is popular.
The running theory is that they used a scrapped Mass Effect script and filed it down enough to slap Halo on it.
Still depends on how the showrunner make it tho. Netflix's Ultraman Rising was supposed to be original IP, but higher ups want it be Ultraman. Although still flawed in some sector, the movie is not bad.
If "Halo" showrunners made their shows as original IP, it would still be bad and boring. But at least it's original
@TomoEriGoto
I actually support this theory. Nothing about this screams Halo. You could argue it takes inspiration from the novels that go into deeper themes into the lore than the games. I do like to think season 2 took from that and had better writing because it. But throughout the two seasons, the odd focus on characters like Kwan, Soren, and Makee don't feel like they belong in this universe.
Makee would genuinely make more sense if she was written in a world like Mass Effect and was Liara. The idea of Makee and Master Chief both having knowledge of the secret rings to potentially save the galaxy from the covenant. Sounds a lot like Liara and Shepard sharing knowledge of the protheans to save the galaxy from the Reapers.
The same goes for Soren as Garrus and Kwan as Tali. 😂
@TomoEriGoto I definitely support this theory. The show screamed more Mass Effect than halo when I first watched season 1, like touching artifacts and getting visions and I mean hell they had a Commander Shepard cameo in the first episode, why was that there in a halo show!? They just need to restart the show and get actual people who care and get a script that's Halo. I mean they literally wrote 265 drafts for the first season, like how do you suck that poorly at your job
Star Wars Acolyte has finished, The Halo TV Show has been canceled. Maybe we’ll get some good shows in their places?
Acolyte has a chance if they can just get some good writers that like and understand Star Wars.
Halo had its chance and it got ruined before it could really ever start.

NGL, this is sad for me. Not because of the show's quality or my enjoyment of it, but that shitty show was how I got my now deceased wife into Halo. After we finished Season 2 earlier this year, we started playing the games between her trips to the hospital. She died a month ago and we only made it halfway through Halo 2, but I was looking forward to watching future seasons in her memory. Legitimately heartbroken over this usually happy news.
Edit: thank you guys for the support. Even if it's just strangers on the Internet, knowing that people care enough to say something matters a lot. Love the people in your life while you have them.

They should've made Halo a movie in theaters that actually respected the source material.
Totally with you on that
I mean honestly the 10 episode format could have worked well for the 10 levels of halo 1, they just fumbled it.
My favorite part of the halo show is that Paramount+ was so confident in the Halo show, that it was cleared for a season 2 before the first episode even came out
the fact this show even got a second season at all is what still baffles me the most out of this trainwreck

Show's second season was greenlit before the first episode of season 1 had dropped, if I remember the timing right. They had already agreed to a second helping of it before tasting the first
I still firmly believe a 1:1 short-series adaptation of ODST would slap. Just keep the cutscenes the same, bring in as many of the OG actors as possible (esp Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, and Adam Baldwin) and then use what would be the gameplay sequences to add in additional dialogue and further flesh out characters - providing they aren't changed, I don't want some showrunner overstepping and writing an implicit romance between Dutch and Mickey
Literally 1:1 ODST or Reach

So most studios will film 1 1/2 seasons and keep creating the second while the first is coming out so what most likely happened is that they already dumped too much money into season 2 to cancel it outright

Band of Brothers with an ODST paint job.
That show would’ve been a banger. Could’ve told entirely new stories, thrown in some cheeks, whatever they wanted!
If you’d told my kid self back in 2014, probably the peak of my Halo obsession, that the best Halo news a decade later would be that a well funded, well acted, well produced live action Halo series was being cancelled, that probably would’ve broken me. It’d be literally impossible to guess back then just how wrong things could’ve gone.
Obviously at this point, I can’t really bring myself to feel anything but relief that it’s over and the tiniest bit of sadness knowing almost 100% that the only lesson whatever management will take from this is that people don’t want live action Halo, when in reality all they had to do was not try to give us what they think we don’t know we want and they would’ve been rolling in it.
Paramount Series: Don't worry Mr.Jackson I'll have her home by 10.
Forward Unto Dawn: Your daughter calls me daddy now.
Whoever buys it, could make it profitable, just gotta reboot it.

It's weird how many adaptations have come out recently that just seem to have an abject hatred of the original work.

My theory is that they were just making a random sci-fi show, but paramount figured attaching it to halo would make it more successful.
If they didn't want to follow the games. They could have at least picked one of the many good Halo books and turned it into live action.

Thanks Halo TV show!
Really an “oh well” moment
The halo TV show is just what Halo has been for a while. A beloved franchise created by a group of guys that love the IP given to people who don't understand and/or hate it.
Yes that is pretty much it. The ones in charge don't understand what made Halo succeed. They don't even know what makes Halo Halo. Yet they try to listen to the community, which is basically all over the place considering there's a variety of fans who prefer 4 & 5 over Bungie's. They basically dug the franchise's grave and nobody at Microsoft knows or want to get it out of there.
Legit just get O'Donnell and his men of choice on it and t(he)y might be able to retcon or fix the mess that was made.
343 was created solely to keep a franchise making money for Microsoft. It wasn’t borne from any love, and it shows.
@Soliye. 343 for some reason has a no bungie policy and actively wants to get rid of any legacy bungie decisions including the VA for master chief, cortana, and the announcer. 343 just needs to be shut down at this point they have become one of the worst studios in gaming to me.
@@HGShurtugalIt’s so strange seeing a studio that actively wants to sabotage their work.

Apparently, Christopher Nolan is trying to get HBO max to get the rights to Halo and start a new show. I know he talked about being a huge Halo fan while making the Dark Knight movies. So, fingers crossed 🤞

I can’t take ownership of this idea but someone brought up a good idea of the halo tv show being bascially like a band of brothers type of series. I can relate to that idea.

@@franktorres2915Having a good online doesn’t erase all the other bad things about Halo under 343.
I've never understood how they can just think that "people clearly don't want a show about this game" when they don't follow the source material.
Hollywood thought the same thing back when they made the original mario movie and the doom movie back in the day,
The og mario movie was about plumbers mario and luigi trying to save popular reporter peach from mob boss King Koopa and his army of Goombas who all are giant lizard men with small heads.
The doom movie felt more like it was trying to be an aliens movie but with subtle references to doom, but still had nothing to do with doom.
The reason why all of these failed isn't because we didn't want the games to be adapted into this type of media, I mean just look at the fallout show, it was super successful.
The reason why they all did bad was because they completely disregarded the story of the games in favor of doing their own thing.
Amazon blew them out of the water with a tremendously good Fallout show, and that's the biggest reason there ever could be.
@@zogwort1522 I honestly think that people that actually like the fallout show are people who have never invested that much time into the actual good games.

We still have books 😊
I was just listening to an audiobook today about how complaints are actually good for businesses (if you actually listen).
They mentioned how customer satisfaction should be the first priority in a business and profits should be second.. i feel like there's so many companies nowadays where profits are first and customer satisfaction somewhere like 5th on their list of priorities...
No matter how many times the fans of a specific IP say, "we hate what you're doing with this, please stop it" the people with the money and power be like:
"Nah, imma do my own thing..."
I think a lot of these media and tech companies need to pull their heads out of their rear ends and start being more centered on customer satisfaction and not shareholder satisfaction and profits first...
All the money, success and profits will come if you listen to the people who are consuming your product... they continuously 💩 on the individual consumer, but the consumer as a collective is the whole reason they're even where they're at in their business.
I hope every company that continues to operate like this fails, and we as consumers need to vote with our dollars and stop supporting these products that try to tell us what we *should* like because they know what's best for us 😂
Keeping Master Chief face a mystery would make 45% of the show
That is just not how it works when it comes to movies or series.. eg They could make many superheroes and villains look 10 times more realistic but they don't because the actors want to show their face
@lezty It worked for the Mandalorian. Why not Halo?
@@mr.redguard6702 Mando has an entire ethos for keeping his helmet on and it was sometimes used as a major plot point for several episodes. Chief doesn't have that in the lore so it'll come off as odd when other Spartans faces are shown constantly but they play coy about it with Chief. Especially when we've known what he looks like for over 20 years. Keeping his face covered all the time would be fine if he was a supporting character but not the main focus of the show.
@@mr.redguard6702 the Mandalorian showed his face…
You can look at any major movie or series and you will realize those main characters always have their face Open a lot or at least a few times. There has been times where I thought why don't they just cgi the characters face because it just doesn't fit
People forget walking dead started this. Horror comic turned into a drama for cw. Came out of nowhere and changed mainstream opinion on zombies. Comics, horror etc.
Maybe one day someone will do Halo justice. It really has such beautiful stories and lore.
I’m hoping that a subscription service buys it and then completely scrapes seasons 1 and 2 and restarts the story with a new cast crew and plot that actually respects what the franchise is.
