@ElvistheAlien as a huge Halo fan, I don’t hate the show I just disappointed, but on the flip side as a huge fallout fan as well I’m happy with the fallout show 😅 It’s really conflicting for me😂

[@Dagenspear]

PLEASE, you, and EVERYONE, if you haven't already, embrace the One True Only God YHWH Jehovah, Only One Jesus Christ His Only Begotten Son and Lord and Savior of our souls and the Only One Holy Spirit. God is good. God is love. Jesus is Lord. Jesus IS coming. Your soul depends on it! I have seen God act in my life. He saved my soul, changed my heart, changed my mind, helped people through me, took care of people in my life, people I hurt before I found God. God is the only reason I was able to reconcile with my dad before he died. God worked through Jesus Christ to save our souls. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. Be baptized in The Holy Spirit, and if He wills, water as well. Repent of your sins, accept God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit into your heart, that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, that all who believe on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father Jehovah God but through Him. Not long after I got saved I prayed to God for help understanding the Holy Bible, and that same day someone knocked on my door asking me if I wanted to understand the Bible. The Holy Bible says, "love thy enemy", "turn the other cheek", "If your enemy is hungry, feed him", "if he is thirsty, give him a drink", "pray for those who persecute you", "do not repay evil for evil". LORD willing, all humans may commit sin of almost every kind (gay, straight), and that's wrong, and all humans sin, as God tells us through the The Holy Bible, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." The Holy Bible also says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

I love how they made two seasons to tell Master Chief's backstory even though it was never his origin the fans cared about. We loved Master Chief putting his life on the line for humanity and his relationship with Cortana and Arbiter. The story of Halo was a "more than just a machine" type story, it wasn't overly deep and it wasn't overly complicated. It was simple yet enjoyable.

[@dickthebirthdayboy2132]

The way Din Djarin is depicted in the Mando season 1 is almost a beat for beat recreation of Master Chief from the games.

[@GrimmWarrior19]

The core problem with the show is that both in the game and in the books John was an extremely obvious stoic, partly due to his augmentations making him similar to a eunuch, guy rarely spoke unless necessary regardless of armor being on or off. I get that they want to use the "alternate universe" concept to justify major differences but then it's no longer Halo anyway, it's a Halo skin wrapped around a concept that is fundamentally different.

[@D3cepti0ns]

They should have never ever took his helmet off. It would have been so much better and they could just hire some cosplayer, like darth vadar was done, and then it would be so much cheaper without a main actor and probably way less takes necessary. Just do it like all the cutscenes and make him alone with cortana for most of it, with some mysteries and shit. Barely any dialogue, barely any actors and it would have been a thousand times better. They not only ruined the franchise, they spent way more money than they even needed to.

[@dillydraws]

@@D3cepti0ns It's fine if Chief took his helmet off, he does it all the time in the books and he takes it off in the games, just we never saw it.

[@Num1koolaidman]

@@dillydrawsthey shoulda compromised between the two though and satisfy both game fans and book fans. Keep his helmet on most of the time. Even in the books they “say” he takes his helmet off but I haven’t had anybody be able to show me his canonical picture. An imaginary image you have in your mind of chief is much different than putting an actor on screen and saying “this is chief.” but if you have a link to an 343 or old bungie approved image that looks like the actor we have now im willing to to eat my words. In game all we’ve seen was him fully as a kid but that doesn’t really show how he looks now. As an adult we’ve seen his eyes and pale skin. Pale from being underneath the armor long amounts of time. Not a California tan. Now after all that said i’m starting to like the show more, and I’m coping with hope for season 3 finally taking off.

[@Shrike1988]

It's like this show was written by someone who watched 20 minutes of a playthrough of combat evolved, said I'd like to explore the stories of those 3 random marines, and decided to fill in the story of master Chief on the fly.

My mum didn't get what I had a problem with for this show until I explained it similarly to this. When it clicked she was like lol I get it now.

[@JesusWillSaveYou]

It is 100% Pablo Schreiber's fault that we don't see the suit as often. At least the helmet as in multiple interviews, he has said something along the lines of "you can't tell what my emotions are when I'm wearing the helmet". He might as well just say I'm not a good enough actor to pull off this role. He was clearly miscast for it if that's his excuse.

[@awandererfromys1680]

The shitty writing isn't doing him any favors either though. It's not as if the other actors are any better. He's great as Mad Sweeney in _American Gods_ imho.

[@ndawn90]

I don't know about anyone else, but every time I see his face, I just see Pornstache. So, he would probably be more convincing as Master Chief with the helmet on.

[@blizzardgaming7070]

The whole 'I can't act without my fACe' is clearly bs. Out of the six movement components of acting taught in high school, only two actually require the use of your face and that is also ignoring the twelve vocal components also taught at that level. He is effectively saying 'I can't act with more complexity than a high-schooler'

[@prestonpham2074]

Bro Pedro Pascal acted with his helmet for Mandalorian which is a comparable character to Master Cheif.

[@jackofnotrades4350]

Interviews are PR press from the studio, paramount's show runners spoon feed people like him talking points. He is just saying what they want him to, hence the helmet dialog being an attempt to be in front of the very predictable criticism they were going to receive.

[@Norbert_Sattler]

At least in the first couple of Halo books, there's no mention of Spartans not getting funerals, well, not directly. They do state that officially Spartans never die, even if their death is 100% confirmed, they are listed as missing in action, for propaganda reasons. So I'd imagine they would either get a very private funeral, or a quiet disposal without any ceremony, but beyond the official listing, nothing is mentioned.

[@subsume7904]

There's a funeral in the first book lol it's when John learns from Mendez that your men WILL die under your orders, it was like the 4th chapter

The number of changes made between seasons is baffling. Chief un-dies, Kwan Ha's story is deleted along with Madrigal, Makee un-dies, Cortana's entire purpose changes... When the show was greenlit, they were given 20 episodes that they split into 2 10-episode seasons. (which they later condensed further for budget reasons) My point is that they knew that there would be a season 2, so it's not like they were surprised with a sudden renewal. So why on Earth did they write the show so inconsistently?!

[@lennylennart88]

For me it's pretty obvious that they aknowledged the critique by fans and kinda, sorta tried to rewrite the 2nd season "better" and more lore-friendly than the first to please said fans. But they failed and the show is so fundamentaly bad that it's practically unsalvageble.

They just wait to announce a second season until after to drum up attention and (hopefully) more watches.

the comment about Spartans never die is a reference to the fact that Spartans are never labeled as KIA only MIA even if they find the body because of the symbol they hold to normal humans, The odd thing is Spartan threes were created before the fall of reach in fact the majority of the Spartans in Noble team are Spartan threes only Jorge was a 2 like the chief. There is also a time issue because that arbiter can not be the same one from the games because at this point the Arbiter we know is still a Fleet master and is in charge of the entire Halo 1 covenant fleet. And yes Onyx is in the books there is a book about it.

Should just make the show a giant meme parody, at least then it would make sense as to why MC has his helmet off. Could make Cortana a person that just constantly nagging him throughout the series. Team up with Red V.S Blue, so much could be done as a funny parody.

[@funkyd3321]

Why the hell does One Piece catch a stray, here?!? I'm going to guess it is because One Piece is more popular than Naruto now, which is +50% filler.

[@samuelgeaney7556]

Because One Piece is a terrible show ? Over 900 episodes is just ridiculous for any show to go on for.

[@maninanikittycat4238]

Honestly, god bless actors like Karl Urban and Pedro Pascal who understood the assignment and kept the damn helmets on (unless absolutely necessary).

[@chefnerd]

It still boggles my mind. How can you give one of gaming's most iconic IPs such a piss-poor adaptation? What's next? A "Half-Life / Black Mesa" show in the style of "The Office" in which Gordon's the butt of the joke all the time?

[@jman518192]

I love how the sentiment going around seems to be “nobody ever thought of The Master Chief in that way” somehow we already have an Encyclopedia Brittanicas worth of memes to turn this one thought into a blockbuster film. Curious 👀 oh well it must mean nothing, moving on to never think about this again ooo a bird!

[@RedNinja115]

This show genuinely feels the most like the people making it have only seen the box arts of halo and that’s it, cuz not only are they rushing shit, but they’re also dragging ass so much they introduced the arbiter BEFORE chief has ever been to a halo, it’s so dumb, I hate it

[@wanderingmercurymarauder761]

Arbiter is a title, not a singular character. The Arbiter here is completely different than the one in Halo 2, which is completely different from the Arbiter from Halo Wars, who is not only introduced timeline wise before Halo 2 but who also gets his ass killed at the end of Halo Wars.

[@pyronuke4768]

At least this Arbiter isn't Thel, they called him some other name I haven't bothered to remember because you can replace him with a cardboard cutout and not miss much.

[@c_hoffrun7020]

The two rings ... to mugiffin them all ...

[@PanCakeFace]

last time I was this early halo was a reliably good franchise

[@SiixCurses]

The Keyes thing is because they had to check the current Hollywood trend box of making one of the preexisting main white characters black, even though they already had a great character who happened to be black, but just ignored his existence

[@jashloseher578]

Literally.

[@zaheersarang6466]

The fact that Master chief spends more time out of his suit than in it is already a reason not to watch the show

[@Shinransa]

The flood does start as spores initially and these spores look pretty close to what they look like in Halo 2 Anniversary's Legendary ending cutscene

[@elpwrsonio]

this is exactly the definition of insanity

[@supersonical8770]

My jaw dropped when I saw the length of the video. I'll watch it later!

[@Foreseer117]

So the whole 'we don't bury Spartans' is an absolute misunderstanding of 'Spartans never die'. The UNSC believed reporting Spartan KIAs would hurt the morale of the Navy, so they only ever reported them as Missing In Action. Which is incredibly tragic. It's repeated in the books a couple of times with one line literally being, "Spartans never die, they just go Missing in Action". This led to Cheif holding in a lot of his feelings regarding the death of his fellow Spartans. The show is just taking a cool line and making it stupid.

[@IBakane]

I was just watching your first season 1 video, and thought man I wish he made the season 2 video, praise be for such good timing!

[@AnonFG]

I don't why, but hearing Elvis say "then there's this subplot with Riz (rizz)" while talking about the Halo show is depressingly funny to me. ( 17:32 )

[@MaxCohen-mx2rf]

Eric Nylund wrote the most amazing books for Halo, and instead Paramount thought this would be a good way to go about it. Still extremely displeased to see Master Chiefs face at the end of the very first episode. Didn't even make us wait.

[@arturmc98]

To be fair, the earlier stages of the flood actually looked like average zombies roaming around until it gather enough biomass to produce the infection forms. And about the Arbiter, it's a rank, so nothing prevents them to just throw another arbiter, more skilled and important in the story after. That being said, fuck this show man...

[@mateuszeiding403]

How did it even get approved for season 2

[@TheKingOfAllHorror]

It was awesome, that's how

[@samlund8543]

Because it was approved before Season 1 even came out.

[@subsume7904]

Because of hate watchers

[@AnvilPictures]

27:21 “that’s what you signed up for” is the most accurate statement.

[@austinhicks4579]

Man I wish they'd just give us a band of brothers type show with marines/odsts. We got a taste of that stuff in the Halo 3 live action trailers and it blows my mind that those 3 minute commercials get you so much more intrigued and invested then a modern big budget show.

[@forestrees2000]

god i fucking hate the portrayal of spartans in this show. they get every. single. thing. wrong. literally the only thing i even remotely like is the armor design, and even then it looks plastic in half the shots. fuck this show.

[@watchesandcaps2566]

The emergence of the flood in the game is one of the most iconic gaming moments and they found a way to do the complete opposite. I won't be watching season 3 but I'll be looking forward to the recap by Elvis.

[@edmo1450]
