[@cody5404]

Bad writers and people who don’t know the lore took their armor

[@yonsingyeo2225]

Ackerson and ONI thought that there was a 99% chance they wouldn't survive without their armor. It goes back Keyes's speech. It's not the armor, it's the warrior inside of the armor that matters.

[@matthewk4912]

@@alexoneil3796 Yes you are right, but it seems a big factor why they are doing this is due to budget. Think about it - no Spartans on-screen using MJOLNIR during the Fall of Reach, Makee taking over some of the Arbiter role in the Silver Timeline, less battle sequences (to be expected), and still no Scorpion tank or Covenant ghost.

One of the things I hate about Kai this season is the attitude of, “I can’t trust Chief because he’s been seeing dead people…. Oh wait! Makee’s alve?! Never mind! I can’t trust Chief because he must be working with her.” Won’t even acknowledge the fact he was right about what he saw on Sanctuary.

[@pelu101]

Well Kai did shoot Makee, she thought for sure she was dead and the one person (Perez) who could testify what John saw, decided to not remember the events.

[@noahknight4039]

She always trusted him, she just thought he was being manipulated or misguided. Keep in mind they’ve been somewhat emotionless soldiers for most of their lives. When she first took out the implant she was acting strange in season 1 too. More emotional and questioning decisions much like Master Chief towards Hasley but like Kai always trusted Chief, Chief still trusts Hasley to some degree.

[@aeminence]

THis is from the book Silent Storm " Deep down, John knew he had been wronged when he was taken from his family at such an early age-that he should have hated his abductors for robbing him of a normal childhood. But he didn’t. They had molded a schoolyard bully into a soldier, then forged him into the leader of the finest fighting unit in the UNSC. He was grateful for that." THis is a very very different Chief in this show - I dont like it. I wish they just used a different spartan team lol. John knew he became more than what he was designed for and was proud of it and cortana heped him realize that too.

[@xunk16]

This is like that scene in the games where there is an officer that tries to make Chief out as a psychopath and Halsey answers "He is exactly what we need him to be" or some such, knowing full well that Chief is one of the most sane individuals in that universe, especially past H4.

[@seanbraley2772]

The Spartans don’t really care about that they are more or less black op soldiers sometimes the law gets in the way of what is right the problem is when the commanding officers giveing them the orders are not moral people

[@anusmcgee4150]

I don't remember specifics, but I remember reading something in the UCMJ where it's like "if you obey an unlawful order, that is in itself unlawful" because you have a duty to follow lawful orders from your superiors

[@ErikDayne]

Ah yes this is exactly what Halo fans wanted to see, not Master Chief fighting covenant in his armor, let’s see him fight a Spartan with no armor. Fantastic.

[@razorblade9122]

if it was lore accurate he would always have his armor on, so unless he was fighting atriox he's not getting manhandled like that.

[@seanbraley2772]

Yes but they basically made them to good in season one you see silver team defeat a force more then 3 times their size with more advanced weapons if they wanted to play out something similar to the story line with the Spartans basically getting killed off on a normal basis they need to make them more vulnerable so more and more helments come off armor left behind

[@ZayneLion-xv3fe]

Spartans didn't die on a normal basis the only lost seven before reach. I think

[@davidbeer5015]

Say what you will about the characterization, “lore-accurate” doesn’t mean “suit always on,” from what I hear. The books had him suit off as well. The games never touch on it because he's pretty much always in an active situation outside of the Halo 2 opener. Not really any situations he *could* have taken it off.

[@thescavwithnothingtolose1224]

"are you a spartan or a puppet?"

[@ArilMaven]

People ( correctly ) complained about too much helmetless sequences in season 1, plus a "too soon" helmet off unveiling of Chief's face ( with no build up ), and now they double down with the no helmet sequences and added a that entire "fighting with no armor episode". The writers and producers don't understand Halo and prob didn't even play the games. The average fan underatands the essence and nuance of Halo better.

[@ErikDayne]

They said they didn’t research the games at all, as if that’s something to be proud of

[@TViper2369]

They have taken one of the most beloved characters in Sci-Fi and not only made him unlikeable, made him irrelevant to the story. MC isn't a spy or politician. He's a soldier who gives humanity hope against the Covenant. Not fighting his own fellow spartans.

[@charlesmaus8943]

Boom

Yes is the games he did end up disobeying orders but that was because of the loyalty he had built up with Cortana. This guy seems more like he’s just rebellious by nature which is just ridiculous.

[@TViper2369]

@@ErikDayne yep. And that rebellious behavior was the result of he and Cortana learning more about the forerunners and trying to do the right thing. Even then, plenty were still supportive of MC, such as Laskey.

@@TViper2369yeah and it made it that much more significant when he did disobey orders because that’s not who he was, so he was genuinely torn as to what to do. With this version of Master Chief it seems he would disobey the order without a second thought, which makes it much less meaningful.

[@mitchyoung4173]

The Halo TV show is a hideous and fetal caricature of the rich universe of source material they had to work with. They had the Golden Goose in their hands and decided to strangle it and parade it’s corpse. It is founded on a flawed and completely broken premise: the creators simultaneously proclaim proudly that the show is not an adaptation and that they are creating their own story with the “Silver timeline” while also completely relying on and leeching the hard work and nuanced writing it would take to establish the universe and that was established by the original games. They have created an abomination that looks and sounds like Halo and insisting it isn’t the Halo you know, all the while stuffing the abomination with context and background from the games and completely skipping or omitting background in their own show. Here are 3 separate examples Captain Keyes death was displayed as a very emotional moment in the series. They haven’t described his motives or his mindset on much of anything by the time he dies in the show. The only bit of interesting character motive and personality for Keyes is shown in two brief scenes in the previous episode. It is painfully apparent that the showrunners are relying on the context of his character from the games to appeal for an emotional response, this is hypocritical. You cannot say that you are writing a whole new Keyes while also doing the absolute minimum to establish him as a show character and then expect an emotional response to his death because we knew him from the games. According to your logic they are two different people, and unluckily for you, they feel and look like 2 different people. All throughout this awful series we are hammered over the head with the idea that John is The Master Chief, the paragon of human achievement and the greatest hero of humanity. Everywhere anyone goes in this show his armor and title is plastered everywhere. He has hologram ads in the streets and posters with inspiring words inside military installations. At the same time you display a character whose feats in battle are no more impressive than any of the other Spartan IIs that are portrayed, in terms of skill and notability he is of the same caliber as the rest of the Spartans, not noteworthy in the slightest. On the worst side of things you display a soldier who questions authority, is repeatedly insubordinate to the point of treason, and struggles to regulate his emotions, he conducts himself as a child. The man is an absolute liability, how on earth is this man child given the amount of praise and respect he is? Here we are again with them simultaneously saying they are portraying a different Master Chief while also stealing his status and context with none of the work or context to justify portraying him as such, it is pitiful and laughable. The Halo Ring itself. Never in the series has the origin, function, or danger of the Halo Ring been explained, either in a Covenant context or human context. They haven’t even landed or seen a Halo proper until Ep 7 of Season 2. And yet all through season II we have had The Covenant, ONI, Halsey, Cortana, and Master Chief all know what a Halo ring is, what it does, and “know” from DNA memory how it works. What the actual fetch. They are relying on our understanding from the games without showing an ounce of research or groundwork from people like Halsey to uncover their secrets. It is absolutely disgusting how unbelievably lazy the storytelling is.
