My favorite part of this show is when Chief wore his helmet to drive a car, then took it off again after driving. Mf treated the armor like it's a motorcycle helmet.

I find it ironic that they took MC's helmet off to avoid comparisons with The Mandalorian, but this only resulted in comparisons with The Mandalorian...negative comparisons, to be precise

[@AMorphicTool]

Cobra effect in a nutshell.

[@evil-wombat]

I think you might be right! Maybe not the loudest opinion, but I actually liked Halo better than The Mandalorian, especially towards the end of the first season. The Mandalorian is like playing on Easy - it's entertaining, but there's basically zero stakes because he's in title and baby Yoda is a money printer. Halo (both the games and the show) are much darker and grittier by comparison. Sure, Star Wars "tries" to go for that dark / apocalyptic vibe and every once in a while manages to pull it off, but that franchise has way too much baggage for that sort of atmosphere to be taken seriously.

[@gabemartinez2558]

​@evil-wombat you know they say everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I think you are abusing the privilege. JK but the halo show is the same thing because master chief is literally the main character and is in no real danger. Especially because if they actually did the show right it would also basically be a money printer.

they took a character famous for never showing his face even after 20 years. and decided he should spend the majority of his screen time with his helmet off. THAT is all you need to know about how accurate this show is to its source material

[@Mockingbird7504]

It is not even about the source material. Chief communicated evrything with his helmet off just fine in games. I expected such acting mastery here and I was disappounted.

[@rrdt]

Hell, he spent half the season with his armor off.

[@funk3nst3in]

every member of noble team is more interesting than john 117 by design. THAT game introduced personality and flair to the INTENTIONALLY blank slate mjolnir mk 2 or whatever 117 wears in H1. masterchief is supposed to be nameless, faceless, a ghost, formless. 343 undid everything bungie created for a few dollars.

[@LilTreat]

Halo is being shown on Brittish TV pretty soon and the ads on TV show every scene with Master Chirf with his helmet on. Also Quan Ha is barely shown despite all the screen time she gets, false advertisement doesn't even begin to describe it.

[@ironeleven]

The same mistake the older Judge Dredd movie made.

[@lanceturley7745]

I'll give the showrunners credit for one thing, it was pretty creative of them to replace all the cgi with XBOX 360 cutscenes. So authentic!

[@ericmason1285]

[@igorpolyakov4113]

It's kinda funny that there was more drama and tension in 44 seconds of the Halo 4 scene when Cortana talks about how real the star orbiting Requiem is. And in that scene, Chief has his helmet on, but probably displays more emotion in Halo 4 than he ever does in this show, and that's WITHOUT seeing his face. You know who was the only other person who had a more sad actual facial expression in the games? Arbiter in Halo 2, when he learns of the Rings' true purpose.

[@Redrik666]

The final scene of halo 4 where he loses cortana and then talks to laskey while staring at earth is super hard hitting and completely negates the "you can't convey emotion with a helmet" argument.

Master Chief and Cortana's relationship developed pretty well, until 343 made it creepy.

[@DavidLopez-tj7jl]

@@fesoy1174 do you seriously believe that they would say otherwise? That the show was a failure? They wouldn't do that, because they know exactly what they did wrong

[@hallpros]

Kinda trolling here -- But I think it was the best video game to screen I've ever seen. Sonic, and all the others didn't follow anything like this did. Maybe I'm wrong, but for me, I was glued to the screen from the start,

[@spectralassassin6030]

@@fesoy1174 Advertisement? They were pushing this show everywhere. "Come to Paramount+, we got this cool si-fi drama!" This show was in no way meant for the core fanbase. They wanted to make a stereotypical si-fi show that would cater to a much larger audience. Pretty much the MCU except they lack any actual talent and Halo just doesn't have what it takes to be like the MCU. The reason for using Halo is cause they likely didn't have faith in their own work so they did the equivalent of camouflaging a turd. It looks like something else but it's still a turd.

Every time I watch something on Paramount & I see that unwatched s1 e2 of Halo & wonder when I should get back to it. Now I know why I haven't. This 'honest trailer' was so fkn funny that I had to subscribe. Actual & genuine lol moments. I need more asap

Having played all the games and reading each of the books at least twice, I knew how this series was going to go when they said they didn't stick to the source. The worst thing thou is when people would try to defend the series saying, "why would you want a retelling of a story you already know?" Well because the original story is amazing and seeing it in live action would be have been great....but no, we got his instead.

[@cassiusdhami9215]

[@mustafam956]

The Oldest and greatest work of literature in the Western Canon the Iliad is literally a story that all of Ancient Greece already knew. It was at least 500 years old by the time Homer wrote it down. His genius was writing about 54 days of the last year of the war with depth and vision and dramatic characterization. But his audience knew the Greek pantheon, they knew Afememnon, Achilles, Helen, Paris and Hector. They knew at the end the Trojans lost and the poem doesn’t even get to the horse and sacking of Troy. But they didn’t know how the gods argued with each other, the rage of Achilles, or the nobility of hector, of the tragedy and heroism of it all. If the oldest work of literature can re tell a known story why couldn’t they make a show based on the rich universe of the halo franchise. They could have just focused on one thing and had creative license while staying faithful to the characters.

and even if then, this wasn't even a good new telling.
