@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."

Karl Urban is always awesome. Always a win.

[@destined2sleep]

Karl is cool, from nz

[@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.

[@GLDarknight]

u mean like a perfect soldier? Why u described Chief (in books and games) in odd way XD?

[@DanSpartan177]

"record shows, the spartan routinely exhibited mildly sociopathic tendencies, difficulty with socialization" jeez, even 434 got it right.

[@Hepheat75]

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.

[@redwiltshire1816]

Not just that John’s backstory was always kept at arms length you had hints of it then it was back to being the hero

Given how standard Master Chief's armor is, and how common the name John is, I just choose to believe that he's another random Spartan in the UNSC.

[@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.

[@Gumblegar]

I feel like these writers would do a better job making a post war series about Spartans in retirement lamenting over when they wore armour and having to deal with newfound emotions after they're given a chance to integrate into society.

[@Harpagio]

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.

[@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.

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.

They adapted the base canon for two reasons - Tell a unique story, and adapt the lore to better fit within the constraints of a TV show. I wish we had more Arcanes.

[@lizard4679]

It's apparently because the culture at 343 was (and largely still is) aggressively anti-Bungie, doing anything to distance themselves from the original games. Numerous sources state that they refused to take on any previous bungie staff for Halo 4 and 5, the culture encouraged needlessly hostile attitudes towards the previous games and developers, and they obviously thought they knew better than Bungie prior the overwhelmingly poor reception to Halo 5. So much so that they needed to literally hire an ex-Bungie lead help make Infinite when they realised they were circling the drain. This project was greenlit back in the days before they thought they'd fuck Halo up, hit serious problems because of their arrogance which meant millions had to be spent in reshoots over years and years, and now we're seeing "Star Wars sequel trilogy" style back-peddling on their original vision with very mixed results.

Perez, a marine, magically becomes a Spartan III.. the Spartans who were orphan children chosen specifically for being orphaned by the war. Though to kinda give the show credit they did depict the Spartan III's as they originally were. If you only played Reach here's some history on the III's: the Spartan III's were originally introduced as suicide soldiers who would attack in large numbers. They didn't even have mjolnir armour like in Reach, they had unshielded Semi-Powered Infiltration armour.

[@dexterhopkins5267]

Masterchief? More like master Queef am I right guys 😂😂

[@AntivenomOW]

More like MasterChef, but they aren’t cooking anything good

[@JeikuAnimeReview]

Master brief!!! Heh

[@SATOhara3173]

Refused to even hate watch this one, thanks for the summary.

[@SATOhara3173]

So glad this was cancelled, holy shit.

[@russell9153]

Var 'Gatanai is the Arbiter in this show not Thel.

[@maxmazzotti6651]

You sir are correct!

[@pyronuke4768]

Obviously, since Thel is a hundered thousand times more compelling than this cardboard cutout.

[@Xeribus]

Aaaaaaaannnddd Halo is Cancelled ….💀

[@JEvans-wy9ln]

PrAiSe tHE lORD

[@Sahlan_Ahamed]

Thank you! I've been waiting for this ever since I saw season 😭

[@OhAUM]

They should have had them walk through, everything is normal and they plant the spike. Then they come back outside and everything has flood tentacles on it and they could have had a 5 minute one take of them running back just blasting flood infected people left and right. They make it back to the ship but an infected flood pulls one of them back out.

[@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!

[@laggingdragons]

Bro what Cortana met Chief _on Reach_ right before the Covenant glassed Reach Yeah, let's just retcon the Halo 9/11 equivalent (and how Spartans work) in order to tell a story that nobody likes.

[@PhantomMiria22]

In the game they didnt even meet on reach. We only saw Chief in cryo and Cortana was a delivery package from Noble Six to the Pillar of Autumn. Chief only woke up in CE already close to the first ring.

[@subsume7904]

​@@PhantomMiria22 yeah Bungie themselves broke a lot of lore with the game, wish they followed the books they were much more epic, also chief trained on Reach alongside Cortana before all of this

[@rosecity_chris]

In other news, The Boys just dropped the first 3 episodes of the new season.

[@kel_ski]

Oh my god I’ve been waiting for this for so long

[@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."

[@jonnybegood890]

Aaaaaaand the show is cancelled loool

[@Tomahawk1]

This video will serve as my watching of Season 2 and I already know I’m gonna enjoy this a hell of a lot more than I would the show

[@BRUXXUS]

It's truly astonishing how something like this can happen... even more that it was funded for a second season.

[@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?

[@JeremyAyres-z2e]

"Halo The Show Or Whatever" is dead and will get no more seasons, and this show never existed, nor is it important. Justice served. What a waste of time. Somebody actually thought that us seeing Master Chief's bare ass would be a good plot point. Between this and the acolyte, nobody knows how to make good SciFi anymore for both games and movies. Thanks, Twitter generation. My only comfort is that I am going to die someday.

[@zohzow]

One day I tried to give this show a shot because I saw it was on live tv. When I tuned in it was the weirdly sexual scene in the beginning with Chief making the avatar. I could only last 5 minutes before I had to change the channel again because wow that was so fucking weird

[@PanCakeFace]

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

[@MultiTurdz]

While watching season 2 i keept finding myself saying " put the fucking armor on!" It was so weird watching him for so long without his armor.

[@scottn.4865]

The armor was taken from them, so I guess you didn't actually watch the show.

[@xer0c]

I love how anyone can write a better story than what was presented in the show.

[@Kenshin6321]

Fun fact, it's a little hard to see, but if you pause the scene before MC and the girl leave the old lady's shop, you can see the old lady has an original Xbox (the fat heavy one) on her shelf.

[@JeikuAnimeReview]

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.

[@Meow_Zedong]

I don't know much about Halo or the fandom, but those edits are still really funny [: thanks for making something I normally wouldn't care about interesting enough to watch an hour review of it

[@rasplez9889]

i love when the guy is changing the board and chief is like "YO WTF WHO TOLD YOU TO CHANGE THAT, BOY?! IMA KILL YOU FOR THAT YOU LITTLE SHIT" and the kid is like "i dunno sir, i was told to. its my only job."

[@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.

[@KamiEntertainment]

Imagine getting a Halo Show that got handled like Fallout and S1 Mandalorian. Pheeeww

[@TROUBLESOME.87]

Wait... There is a second Season ? How ? Who is paying for this ?

[@Hiddenus1]

Honestly the show feels like every episode was written by different people and after they wrote it they hired another bunch of people who took all those disjointed stories and rewrote them into into more connected mess.

[@captainmeowgan2493]

the Halo tv show has to be a psyop to get us to hate video game adaptations.

[@MulettoMotorsports]

They already tried Pérez's character, it was that asian lady in S1.

[@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

[@matijasostojic4288]

You ever gonna make a video on the new Nick cage movie, Arcadian?

[@paulgermano7837]

Halo has sadly been part of this trend, going on for a while, where writers who know nothing about the source material come in, subvert expectations, and ruin the fun. Just like a lot of Star Wars projects and other franchises.

[@patrickg1435]

have not touched this show since the helmet first came off and i will not touch it again

[@zollof6699]

I'm still trying to figure out who the target audience for this show is. It's certainly not fans of the Halo games. And I'm almost convinced it's not for everyone else either. So just the show runners. It's for them so they can say they made a "Halo" show.

[@elpwrsonio]

this is exactly the definition of insanity

[@lemuntpicard7482]

54:40 "Infected by the covenant?!" LMAO

[@Reallytinyhands]

THEY CANCELLED IT LMAO

[@rezaqalam482]

HAHA GOOOOOD

[@kzman1173]

At least it was finally cancelled now

[@fr0ck360]

Imagine the sudden rise of Halo Infinite’s playerbase if they actually made a good show like Fallout, Arcane, and Edgerunners. Have fun with the new Halo “fans” to care about your dying franchise like 343 did

[@toothemaxx4027]

The thing from the books is that “Spartans dont die, they are only Missing In Action” but they still have a funeral but officially no spartan is ever confirmed as dead so as to keep morale up.

[@toothemaxx4027]

Also in the games the Arbiter was a general during Halo CE and his punishment was becoming the Arbiter. So this must have been the previous Arbiter.

[@kissinginparis7277]

What’s the point when you make the UNSC ‘humanity’s greatest army & force’ unlikable & make them the bad guys for literally the whole show???? Like I don’t get it, & why don’t any characters seem to get a back story to make them important or likeable? They disrespected the arbiter and I’ll never forgive them. :(
