s'all good man thats a good show

obtuse minnow
#

To be honest. If There Is going to be a new show one day... I would like a show about spartans hunting Rebels etc... Something before the human / covenant war and the show being R Rated So it could be a carnage 😄

scarlet kindle
#

some odst themed show the action is made for tv

obtuse minnow
scarlet kindle
#

fallout show was a good mix of dark humor

obtuse minnow
#

Well... Since spartans were made to scare Rebels... Why not kill some 😄

scarlet kindle
#

I was expecting more of a gritty spartan halo show and got some emotional learning yourself, I am more than what is in the helmet

obtuse minnow
#

Well... Maybe then... Spartans that joined the banished?😄

#

Its just... I hate the covenant 😄 thats why i want something about Spartans ONLY, but i love Their ships, my favvorites Are: SDV-CLASS heavy corvette And CAS-CLASS assault carrier... Both were in the halo show too And Their design was really well done...

scarlet kindle
#

and I am shocked when the tv show season 1 first released they had zero content or event in halo infinite tied to the show

#

it was awhile later they added the weekly rewards for the helmets, but it was like it was completely forgotten

obtuse minnow

#

Covenant have the cooler looking stuff, and what’s worse is they were better represented in the first season

obtuse minnow
#

Yes. I like that they made modern design of the corvette. And when i was looking on the carrier they used halo 2 model.

#

The difference Is on the back top of the ship

#

And i really love the sound of the corvettes engine 🤤

#

yes I agree. But still... I hate them ||for what they Did in the halo Reach😖😭|| but i love their ship designs. From the UNSC... I only like Spartans, stalwart class frigate And plelican with Condor...

#

I like that we saw covenant corvettes And Condor more in the show... Those Are 2 ships that we dont in the games too often.

This is what happens when it’s a decade of unplayable elites

#

It would be kinda funny if we had a game where you can pick any ship you want with your fleet And your objective Is glassing some planets And killing humans 😄

#

Yes... But i would like a game where you can actually drive that ship...

#

Not just moving them like Soldiers in halo wars 2.

Better feel it while last, the show is very likely to get picked up by another streaming service especially with the huge viewership numbers it had.

plucky coyote
#

It is Halo and it did have that weight with it when it first releeased where people needed to check it out as fans and those who had seen it advertised alike

plucky coyote
#

Not sure how Paramount came into a saturated market in 2014 to the likes of Disney+ when that didn't even exist until 2019 in the US

plucky coyote
#

ok yeah instalation is just lying now that's crazy

#

Didn't know he was the type to do that

wide zinc
plucky coyote
#

The show could be spending more than it is making

#

with the amount of CGI work and visual effects Halo show has, I'm not surprised if it's a very expensive show to produce

wide zinc
#

maybe but it's 90 million per season. but you have to udnerstand streaming services make money trough subscriptions and high viewership can reflect that

plucky coyote
#

You have to understand a show has to pull its own weight or it will be dropped

#

They have to make profit to remain sustainable

wide zinc
#

okay and it got high views.... it means it had a lot of it's subscribers watching it

#

you're acting like it's some cinema release show

plucky coyote
#

Yeah it did but still doesn't mean it was profitable...

wide zinc
#

tell me how tf. because they make money trough subscrip[tions

#

and high viewship count means it's alright. not to mention it has a high tomato score

#

anywho, I hope that Apple TV buys the show

plucky coyote
#

It has an above average tomato score

#

Apple probably won't, it's a Microsoft IP

wide zinc
#

They might. It's just a show

#

they are selling the rights for a TV series not the game

plucky coyote
#

It's still under a competitors IP

#

Apple may be uneasy about that you would think

wide zinc
#

how is Apple a competitor? and you think paramount is any different? you're not making sense

plucky coyote
#

I am but you don't understand, it's okay

wide zinc
#

you're saying Apple is a competitor. Competitor to what? why wouldn't they want Halo on their service?... you make no sense

plucky coyote
#

If that's a genuine question you have then there's no point in discussing with you haha

wide zinc
#

you never answered it despite saying Apple is a competitor. but youre right you waste my time. Goodnight!

plucky coyote
#

Ironic considering you decided to enter this discussion?

#

Very weird attempt to try to turn your own actions as my fault

scarlet kindle
#

Apple being a competitor to Microsoft and Halo being their IP, ya I don't see it happening lol

#

They would have to be extremely desperate if no one else would take it

also Halo doesn't really go with Apple's type of shows they produce

I'm asking about what he was lying.

You didn't ask that

I did Now...

#

So?... Whos telling the truth And what I00 Is lying about

plucky coyote
#

I'm not sure why I am being asked about who is telling the truth

obtuse minnow
#

Becuase you said that Instalation00 was telling lies... Then i'm askin which youtuber Is telling the truth then.

plucky coyote
#

Regarding inaccuracies or falsehoods on I00s side, he claimed the show was getting 300 - 500 million views per episode which is not trust per the Hollywood Reporters figures, infact the show seemingly never breached 500 million

plucky coyote
obtuse minnow
#

Becuase He was not lying.

plucky coyote
#

Well looks like it wasn't right...

scarlet kindle
#

It says 300 million minutes watched not 300 million viewers

#

Lets say 300 million minutes watched, 1 episode is 1 hour (60 minutes). That's 5million viewers if you just use 1 episode to base those stats, best case scenario

#

If they used multiple episodes to base those stats the numbers go even further down

#

Halo show cost 10mill per episode, idk anyone who would want to pick it up without cutting budgets. It was the shining star of the paramount plus streaming service with a huge marketing push

#

Somehow Paramount+ pumped that much money into creating Halo while losing insane amounts of money on their streaming service

scarlet kindle
#

It makes sense the show got cancelled after being acquired to stem the bleeding

#

One thing I will miss about the show is how it was fully fleshing out the Sangheili language. I hope that if it gets re-acquired they will continue with that.

If the series got cancelled after season one, it would have made sense given the train wreck of that season, but season two was finally on the tracks and was actually enjoyable to watch.

The brother of the guy who made the critically acclaimed Fallout TV show wants to try and make a live-action Halo adaptation?

I say let him. If Johnathan Nolan could make a faithful but unique version of Fallout, I have full confidence in Christopher Nolan, especially given his previous work with Oppenheimer, could make a faithful adaptation of Halo while making it unique from the actual Game universe.

the guy famously known for not using CGI at all and using random sparks in Oppenheimer to make people sleep

Oppenheimer was a brilliant film idk what you are getting at. I watched in but not barbie and thought it was one of the best films I've seen.

The halo show was awful, and an entirely unnecessary alternative exercise to what could have been phenomenal. All the wrong people for the role.

He prefers to use practical effects for most things, but he is known for using CGI to enhance practical effects. And for the most part, the majority of what makes Halo Halo can be recreated practically really well (hell, people have made functioning MA5s, BR-55s, M90s, Warthogs, and even a project to accurately recreate Mjolnir Mk. VI to the best of modern tech's ability). Landfall used almost entirely practical effects, and a large portion of Forward Unto Dawn used them as well.

As for Nolan being a fan of Halo, I'm sure if he truly loves the series like his brother loves Fallout, he'd be willing to use CGI for what he can't accurately recreate with physical props and outfits.

If using mostly physical props avoids what sometimes was some of the worst CGI I've seen in a modern show (we're talking CW show level bad), I'm all for it.

Even with that, I do have to admit the Show's CGI was probably its best aspect. They did a great job bringing most of the Covenant's species to life. I especially liked the idea of having Jackals with Energy Daggers. Feels honestly like a natural CQC role for them.

Snyder honestly is a mixed bag though I do like a couple of his works, and Micheal Bay is Micheal Bay. And I don't think anyone wants another drawn out scene of Master Cheeks.

Apple TV owns Charlie Brown so I think they should buy it. And after Halo’s second soft reboot in its third season on a second streaming platform three years from now. Apple can air the great pumpkin afterwards and the great pumpkin will rise from the pumpkin patch and the halo show will be saved you all will see.

It's becoming easier to understand all this mess and how it got to this point. I just found out 343 tried to get rid of Steve, Jen & Jeff. The 3 iconic voices of the entire franchise.

Video from Bubba on YT
"HUGE! New Bungie Leaks Will Make You DESPISE 343"

toxic warren
#

That stuff is like a decade old or more at this point and has been paraded around so many times. There is not big "gotcha" here

tawdry kestrel
#

343i's Halo is more than a decade old. What's your point? Does age on this stuff suddenly mean the attitude is different today?

#

And how is (trying to) getting rid of the 3 publicly recognized voices of the franchise not a gotcha? Not to mention the "no Bungie" rule 343 seem to have going off their hiring practises, ignoring former staff of Bungie not for their talent but seemingly only because they were a part of the original team who made the franchise

toxic warren
#

You're taking unconfirmed leaks and rumors from years ago as gospel and spreading them as a way to try and discredit anything 343 has done. Just because it's in a YouTube video, doesn't make it true

tawdry kestrel
#

So 343 full on recasting Steve and Jen and only reversing it when the test audience reacted badly is "unconfirmed"

#

And btw this was on Infinite. Over a decade old?

toxic warren
#

At any rate, it's got nothing to do with the TV show which is what this channel is for

tawdry kestrel
#

I agree on that point, and I'll make this point my final one.
It worries me someone as high up the hierarchy of the halo community says something as objectively false as calling the attempted replacement of the most 2 iconic voices of the franchise "unconfirmed leaks and rumors"

You either do shockingly little amount of research on the franchise you apparently are a community admin for, or you are intentionally concealing examples of 343i's lack of care or concern for the franchise or it's history/fans. My follow up messages, including this one, are in response to you. If you don't like me replying, state in your first reply about this chat not being the right place, rather than saying it when you feel like.

tawdry kestrel
#

Something that is to do with the show. Steve was up for being the voice actor for Chief on the show. Combine that with not taking off the helmet and we have a tried and true formula for the tv show version. Tried and true meaning look at the original Darth Vader, the physical actor had a (i think) scottish accent lol. I do not compute why this wasn't done, except the decision makers having no interest in making something faithful to the name it was being created under and carried by.

That being said, I'm kind of in-hindsight relieved they didn't do that. Steve's voice isn't part of that show, and I'm alright with that.
Steve himself is a nice person, so he would never and has never expressed negativity towards the show.
Edit: And that's probably one of my favorite things about Halo. It was made by decent down-to-earth people, and you see that very quickly when looking at interviews and dev blogs. That decency fed the games and you can feel it, it's like the games themselves are a message of hope for our species. Fighting against insane odds and surviving, containing stories of sacrifice, heroism and unity. Halo was never about the games. It was about Humanity, it was the hopeful version of Warhammer 40k.

I wasn't 100% sure wether it was Infinite or Halo 4, so I'll agree I was wrong on that point. It doesn't change the fact they tried to replace the 2 main voice actors without any good reason to do so, besides wanting to change things for their own sake rather than the fans.
As for the show continuing, as much as series 2 was starting to shape up (apparently shaping up, I dont give it benefit of the doubt to actually watch any of it). I believe the right way forward is to scrap all the lore from it and start a new show, preferably starting canonically from a decade or so prior to humanity encountering the Covenant, leaving us a few seasons to get action between humans and understand the state of the UNSC prior to the covenant war, before we get to the juicy parts everyone remembers from the bungie games.
A tangent, this is coming from someone who played CE at probably about 6 years old, so I have a deep sense of wanting to protect the good aspects of Halo against those who want to change it for the worse. Now I've said that, imo all the lore 343 created should be scrapped. I'll make a short explination why I want that.

In Halo 3, we have a simple line from Spark. "You are Forerunner". This, and many other things in the games and the books (basically, in all the lore preceding 343) suggests and illudes to Humans being the same species as the Forerunners. Needless to say, 343 retconned that possibility and set us down an entirely different path in the lore. If we want to truly go back to the Bungie lore, we have to interpret what they put in the games and books, and the fact is it's very likely Humans are supposed to be the result of the Forerunners reseeding their own species, alongside all the rest they did after the firing of the rings. That would make them the rightful inheritors of their remaining technology and civilization, as well as the true leaders of the Covenant. (no wonder the prophets wanted humans dead, right? And no wonder when the Elites began to see humans as honorable and deserving of some form of mercy the prophets make quick to replace them)

#

OK as much as I hate the Halo TV show. There's a lesson we can take from this show even if doesn't have all the factors to be considered a good show

#

It's very clear the writers wanted to do their own thing even if they had read the books and played the games.

#

If they wanted to do their own thing so bad they probably shouldn't have made this show under the name Halo :v

#

Like I get it. Its a different time-line but considering the halo this show is based on is now 2 decades old. People who watch this show are gonna play the games for the 1st time wondering why it isn't like the show :u

#

For people who gonna play the game but watched the show first. Chief is a quiet character. He has his moments of emotion and quip but he is mostly a vague mysterious character. This adds to the game because he is a vessel for us to be immersed in the story -_-

Series wasn't all bad. Some things just felt way out of order or super rushed. Like Chief getting his sort of H4-Infinite personality and just going balls to the wall AWOL. In my opinion we should've seen more of a CE Chief where he just followed orders and that was the end of it. Give us our fight scenes for a whole half season but sprinkle in a little bit of character for the other human characters. Not too much like the whole side quest with Kwan.

#

I think the series wasn't that terrible, and to be completely honest, I'm not a die hard halo fan and only played halo 3 before in fact I'm not an xbox owner anymore, but in my case i felt the show was good but it definitely missed a thing or two. This is from someone who didn't care much about the original storyline, but rather wanted to enjoy a good halo show. And i think this is what the studio was aiming for, the general audience not just the halo fanbase. So if you look at it from this pov, it wasn't that bad, but from the original fanbase pov, i can understand the disappointment.

True. There's so much more creative ways to humanize the Chief than seeing him without armor

He's never needed to be humanized. Just seems kinda silly

I really enjoyed the first 2 seasons of Mando, they handled that well

I have taken some cursory glances at the halo show (ie, youtube longform reviews tbf,) and honestly it didn't really look like they handled much well

Yeah, definitely seemed like making him vulnerable was a goal during all of that. It was a good demonstration of the power level of the armor when he ||got beat up by Kai.|| Of course after that was one of my issues ||where his healing factor is superpower level||. I think though they also demonstrated ||his combat prowess with action sequences out of the armor, taking down multiple elites like a BA.||

An ideal Halo movie imo would prob end up on 2 films

  • Alpha Halo
  • Halo 2/3
#

The reason I say this is because in movie format halo 3 is pretty short for a plot

#

(Halo 2)
Obviously we’d have the intro Arbiter and Chief

Covenant evade Earth by accident, there’s an instant quick intro battle that ends with Chief obviously bodying the Scarab and board the Iron Clad to Delta halo

Then we’d move to the obvious Arbiter and finding the heretic.

Chief arrives on Delta Halo. We know how it goes and that whole segment can last like 1 hour and 45 minutes

Then the plot of Halo 3 could last the next hour and 15

#

Because ik for a movie they’d wanna cut the extra stuff. Halo 2 would definitely have more to keep in a movie plot than Halo 3 (you’d have to force new plots into halo 3 to even be a movie)

it was an alternate timeline so it wasn't going to follow the original story.

It being an alternative timeline was something to be concerned, but it wouldn't have been a good reason to actually dislike the show

Well... I told my all friends about halo. And that there Is also a show. They all watched it And they liked the show And actually made them interested in the games. 😅 And I personally love the show, yes it's a different time line but I don't care. The setting looks nice, the music is good. The story is slightly similar to the games. You just have to look hard at the references and details.

I think everybody's opinion on the tv series is debatable. A lot of people might think that series disrespects the source material or lore.

#

But I think people respect the designs of the characters

rare raft
#

It does. Very much it does. But also does look pretty.

foggy steeple
#

Most people would have probably respected the show if it were closer to the source material or the writing of the halo games

#

You can still make a tv series based on the show and not follow the source material and people can still respect it but you have to do the writing in a certain way

#

People were very much against the writing throughout the show though

rare raft
#

I hat every ounce of the writing, Ixwosh we could’ve gotten a better written show with the same visuals.

foggy steeple
#

Then again, the writers never looked at the halo books, games or lore so the writing was definitely not going to be faithful to them in any way

#

Although the designs do seem faithful to the games most of the time I think

toxic warren

#

I do understand that they were trying to do their own thing with the tv series but not looking at games or any form of material for some inspiration for the franchise is going to be a huge red flag.

toxic warren
#

To tell the best Halo stories we can, we want to protect the integrity, simplicity, and future of the core canon, but also not be limited by it when faced with the realities of a new medium and the process of production. As a result, we made the decision to set the Halo television series in an authentic, but independent timeline.

But that still does not change the fact that people are still angry with the tv series

Of course there are. I wasn’t trying to be too general.

frank copper
#

It was well known way ahead of time even before the show's debut that it was going to be set in alternate timeline. It was creative choice. Even with the show was stuck in development limbo for almost a decade. If it came out as the Spielberg version if it had been released in 2015, we would not know if the show would be set in the canon timeline or alternate timeline we have now (Anyone's guess at this point).

I feel like you can still enjoy it and admit that it didn't follow the source material and wasn't that good fiction show in general.

It definitely does not do halo justice tho and as a mod of the official halo discord I feel compelled to ask that you should at the very least show empathy to a long time fan. Apathy comes across as unwelcoming.

dreamy stirrup
#

There were plenty of times source material was used

copper cloak

Right but what I'm saying is, it wasn't used properly. A lot of it seemed out of place and would never actually happen in canon.

I think I'm confused about the whole reach thing still

I mean the fall of reach in season 2 im just so surprised they took that direction.

#

Don't want to spoil for those who didn't see

copper cloak
#

If they do season 3 it needs to be a refresh I think. Maybe retcon the first two season and follow the games more.

toxic warren
#

I'd rather they didn't do that. From well before the show launched, it was always advertised as being separated from mainline canon. It was an intentional decision to do that.

A show that fits in with canon should be something else, we've already had 2 so far, and leave this Paramount show to tell the story it wants to tell.

muted sapphire
#

Honestly I think if everything was the same and stuff people might have not had a problem if “John” in the show wasn’t supposed to actually be Master Chief, but instead a random new character or something

#

I know a huge complaint about the show was how much Chief showed his face

quasi knot
#

I'm not mad he takes his helmet off btw. FIRST 2 EPISODES: The character John 117 goes against direct orders. I understand this is a plot device but if you've played the game and read the books or even just the first book (Fall Of Reach), as a writer you would be more respectful and use this plot device sparingly. His entire character design revolves around a 6 year old child that has been abducted into the military because of his tenacity for winning, and is ASTUTLY obedient to his superiors. He is the strongest champion in the universe, if he didn't have absolute respect for authority all we would see would be him breaking orders and doing what he wants. He doesn't.
Bringing me to my second issue. John fails to follow orders because he "unlocks" a memory of his childhood. I cannot express to you how uncomfortable that made me and how disappointed i was that they again went directly against his canon. John 117 is a Spartan 1, That has MEANING. The meaning here is that Dr.Halsey REFUSED to wipe their memory for 2 core reasons. 1) Because it would cause instability in their minds, and potentially present complications and 2) Because they would be taught that their existence and sacrifice is to save humanity, and those fit to be spartans would accept the role. This is really important. Willingly accepting their own kidnapping is part of what makes John special. at 14 (8 years after being abducted) John loses 30 or so of his brothers and sisters who did not survive augmentation. He sees them as his family. another disconnect we see a lot of in the show.

#

I was also floored at some of the dialogue and exchanges of UNSC personnel such as Miranda Keys, who has a breakdown in broad daylight about the death of a resistance girl... You would not be a ranking member of the UNSC if you were so easily shaken. We have seen lower ranking members sacrifice frigates full of soldiers for a sliver of hope. The whole thing was dramatically very off to me

#

I probably sound grouchy over nothing, believe me I am not a superfan - more of a casual enjoyer. Halo was a big part of my childhood and the 2 episodes maybe 3 i watched just didnt make any sense to me. Its a dark universe that came prepackaged for them to make a show with. I wish they had respected it and its canon more.

Heavily implied that he played as an adult preparing for the role and mentioned nothing about the game beyond the opening level

Im not here trying to spread misinformation, Im certain the producers love to say they brought the actors to 343 studios and dove deeply and carringly into the lore, but from what i see that does not appear to be true

There was an animated series, Halo Legends, though those are more complimentary to the main Halo games so I don't know if they'd attract people who haven't played it before (assuming your family hasn't)

Bitterly disappointed if I'm honest. Was expecting high hopes. 1st ep I enjoyed then downhill. John's character was atrocious and the whole helmet off thing. Not Halo just another cheap sci fi series using the name. Turned off at ep 2 never watched it since.

#

The whole love thing between John and that one character kinda ruined the show imo, halo is a bout master chief murking Covies, not about love unless you think about halo 4 between chief and Cortana. Chief is an emotional-less killing machine. Make the show that way, give us what we want, a show about master chief doing what he does best

There are so many great Story Arcs which could have been picked.
But we didn't get that.
This series felt more like the Doom Movie. The name might be the same, but the show lives in another universe.

Would have been cool tonlearn about the forerunners, how John became a Spartan and what Dr. Halsey had to do, to get this project up and running.
Show the universe like in the Expanse and so on.

Sadly, like with the Witcher, the Showrunners seem to hate Halo and wanted to do something different. 😦

# fallow lotus People need to stop being so butthurt that the series didn’t follow lore. It’s m...

What a wild take. Make a franchise based on a set world... But the lore isn't important? That's 100% why it failed lol

They have more than 30 books (including bestsellers) in this franchise and chose to ignore that and the games in favour of changes that added little to no value but detracted from the main lore. Fans have waited over a decade for this show.... It's pretty easy to see why it was such a bomb.

It doesn't even benefit new fans that the show brings in. If they are curious to look at other content in the franchise because of the show... It's so different they won't align with it 🤷‍♀️

fallow lotus
warm pike
#

It isn't though. It didn't increase players on the games, and it hurt the overall brand with these issues.

Fans of the show will look att he franchise and see the shows deviations as the standard, which is definitely not the case

swift summit
#

Also it was stated that the show is supposed to be a separate timeline
Most people just miss that

warm pike
#

Exactly, so the entire show is a waste as it's not canon 🤷‍♀️ none of it plays any importance in the main franchise.

Hollywood butchers things because they make money either way and staying dedicated to lore is difficult and more costly. They were lazy and we didn't reward them for it with follows and views so the show was cancelled. Pretty common sense and happens with most lore based franchises. When Hollywood chooses to stay accurate, we get products like The Last of Us show. I can't accept their laziness and promote the show as 'its just different' lol they have enough money to do it right. They are just lazy or trying to push something fans clearly do not want 🤷‍♀️

frank copper
#

It was well known before its debut that the Halo tv series was going to be set in a different timeline (Silver timeline) separate from the main timeline.

warm pike
#

Yeah. Watched the first couple episodes and those differences were senseless. Why set it in a different timeline at all? This franchise, again, has over 30 books worth of content plus the games. Why build an alternate timeline when the original hasn't even been fleshed out via TV? Honestly insane they thought that would work.

It isn't 2007. Halo isn't the name catch it once was to people outside of Xbox. All they did was get people interested in a timeline none of the other franchise content supports.

#

I'd honestly just love a game/show/anything that is adjacent to Master Chief. Two of the most critically acclaimed titles in the franchise don't include him, many books don't include him... Pretty sure we could manage without him always being front and centre.

There are other character they can tell the story of. Master Chief is dormant a lot even in his own story. Would love to see what's happening elsewhere when that's going on instead of continuing to follow him.

Best part of the series was Kai and that storyline... Funny how that works when there's no mainline-counterpart to compare it to lol

Season 1 imho was better than season 2 the fall of reach was mediocre and they had chief without his armor through most of it. the battle that was shown was mostly happening on the ground when it was established in lore and through the games that it was a massive space battle because of how well defended it was with the orbital guns. I will say that the one thing show did right was give us accurate looking covenant and Chief armor iF hE EvEn WoRe It smh

Season 3 is honestly a given at this point

#

That scares me

ancient willow
#

I think if they were to rework the series it should be animated as me and my friends agreed

#

Animation can give a lot of nice visual and tricks to implicate contrast to live action

#

If it’s worked for Halo Legends it can work well for future Halo media in the form of film-TV

toxic warren
#

If an animated series were to be made again, it should be its own thing. Leave the TV show as is.

With it going to Netflix now, I'm hopeful that another few seasons could be out into production. Just need to wait and see what happens

Yeah, at this point just a lot of speculation to be honest. Just have to wait and see

ancient willow
#

I’m the opposite with S2 over S1, I didn’t finish S1. I’m glad Reach was the focal point of S2 because at least it intrigued me how it would’ve enacted

#

My fair share of criticism is what if Silver Team had their power armors during the fight instead of Ackerson taking them away. Like I get it that it shows that even the most direst of situations you gotta use what you can to survive and it can happen if you’re caught without your armor.

It is wholly possible to just enjoy the series despite perceived flaws that contrast with other media. It can exist distinctly and in parallel.

We were gifted with a live action, high production value, gritty look at the parts of the Halo world we don't get to see otherwise. ||The shady influence of ONI and UNSC high command beyond what we know about the ORION Project, Lekgolo outside of an armored colony, John's "recruitment," humanity's early research of Forerunner tech, life in human cities that haven't already been cleared and glassed by the Covenant, life in the outer colonies... we never got to see New Alexandria or New Mombasa really alive and buzzing because of resource limitations||. There's so much to enjoy and appreciate about the series if you let yourself do so.

Sometimes-flippantly dunking on it (somewhat routine in this channel, but not directed at any one author) after cancellation is, in my opinion, a slap in the face of all the people who put their energy into it, including on-location shoots that required sacrifices from their personal lives to facilitate, when they could have just not done it and given us nothing. We'll be fortunate if they find a new network to back the production of further seasons.

It's not. Halo fan since 2001. Always wanted a live action, but the Halo tv show was not it. Obviously it wasn't all terrible. But the only parts that I personally enjoyed were any scene with Covenant action. They nailed those parts (except the very last episode. You know what scene I'm talking about). Other than that, the story was quite awful. It strayed entirely too far from the source material and left many already established Halo fans alienated and displeased. I really did try to appreciate the show for it being it's own thing on a separate timeline of events. A few episodes into the first season I completely lost interest in the "story" and only continued to watch for those Covenant action scenes and to see how derailed the story was from the source.

It strayed entirely too far from the source material and left many already established Halo fans alienated and displeased.
That line of adherence to prior media, wherever you draw it, is different for each viewer, I guess. The more flexible you can be with it, the more likely you'll find enjoyment in the Series, I think. If where you draw that line is incongruous with where the producers and writers feel it needs to be to make the Series economically viable for streaming (people like Wolfkill and others have talked about this in press interviews), I think "alienated" is a rather strong a reaction to that intractable disagreement.

distant orchid
# next anchor It's not. Halo fan since 2001. Always wanted a live action, but the Halo tv show...

I’m not entirely fully caught up, but from my understanding, Doesn’t it take place in a separate universe? Like a reboot realm? So, I don’t really mind. And your correct the series was displeasing story wise, it had its moments. Like when we saw the fall of reach, that was mildly entertaining, I didn’t like the ending though, I would’ve preferred the pillar of autumn crashing but at the end of the day we can just accept what we got and be thankful. Yknow?

lilac cliff
#

Well, for now at least. Because if I remember correctly, the next halo remakes will take place in this new "Silver Timeline", so I guess we will now have two different yet coexisting game continuities/canons.

#

On another note, I (somewhat) liked the halo series. I didn't think of it as halo, or well not entirely. This made the viewing experience much more enjoyable, on top of the fact that most of the time watching it I was telling my dad the references and the lore, since he was watching it with me.

#

He doesn't know anything about halo, so it's kind of a shame that he got introduced to it through the series but eh I could care less.

#

It introduced a new side of chief which had been hinted towards since halo 4, and while it didn't feel like chief at all I am always a fan for these sorts of characters. Overall, not a good adaptation of halo but if you put aside that it can be entertaining and enjoyable, in some parts.

#

Not a fan of how modern halo is trying to both humanize the Spartans while also making them seem inhumane when that's not the case, at least not in the way they present it. The Halo series just went ahead with this concept and...I thought it was mid, liked some of the moments that were made from it though.—

#

The halo series has always been better at anthology type stuff than individual stories baring some of the better books, I think it makes sense to try that first

To be fair, the Spartan program has evolved to be far more ethical than the original Spartan-II program. So the humanization of the Spartans does make sense, considering that Spartan-IVs are willing candidates. The Spartan IIs were the “machines”. I’m okay with this 100%. I think going forward, the character-building and writing for these characters needs some polishing. For example, who REALLY liked Spartan Palmer? Or even Locke? (I personally liked Locke)

lilac cliff
#

And no I don't mean that Chief is emotionless like the modern halo games would lead you to think, I just think that by trying to humanize him they unironically killed off the human part of his character that's so likeable or at the very least interesting.

No argument here. I have always taken Chief's character to simply be the strong, silent type for the most part. Not necessarily machine-like or without emotions. Honestly, I think that's why I fell in love with Master Chief as a character, as he is very relatable to myself, being the more silent type; someone who mostly observes the surroundings, but is thoroughly capable of communication.
I will give credit where its due and admit that the way the Spartans were portrayed in the series was well-done, and shared behavioral similarities with the Spartans from some of the novels.

Out of genuine curiosity, if you were able to go back in time and make adjustments to the Spartans, particularly the Spartan-IVs (or even the Chief himself), what would you change, and why?

# next anchor No argument here. I have always taken Chief's character to simply be the strong,...

Yeah, the whole "which one of us is the machine? 🥺" angle felt like a misunderstanding of who chief was that sort of unfortunately followed chief for a decade after H4.

I just re-read the Fall of Reach recently and what gives chief his resolve is not brainwashing or "him being a machine." He understood what happened to him as a child. He had YEARS to process it after the rough part of the training was over and he had time to think to himself. He came to peace with what was done to him and chose to be the soldier humanity needed him to be.

He knew how to handle loss, he knew how to make hard choices and was comfortable with himself as a human and soldier.

He's just the strong, silent type. He doesnt have much to say because he only speaks when he needs to.

H4 sort of twisted him into this tragic, depressed guy in the vein of Man of Steel and the Halo show sort of felt like an amplification of all the worst aspects of the last decade of "sad chief" stories.

I hope that the Halo show and Halo Infinite is the last of that characterization for chief and we can get back to him being just a really inspirational guy

For along time it didn’t look like the season 1 soundtrack would get released either, so that was a big surprise for me when it did. I’m still hopeful the season 2 soundtrack will get released due to Bear McCreary’s involvement. He tends to release soundtracks for ALL the stuff he works on. This show is slightly different because he just did the main title and the rest of the music is by his company Sparks and Shadows. But they have released a couple of soundtracks too so I’m still hopeful. But then again, I know a lot of TV shows often only release soundtracks for their first season… 🤷🏼‍♂️
So ultimately I have no idea, but I’m not ruling it out yet and remain hopeful! 🤞🏻

I don't mind it as a series, but the reminder that it is a HALO series really bugs me. It feels more like a modern star wars project, and I mean that negatively. I can enjoy some aspects of it, but I cannot enjoy it as a whole. I am still baffled on how an adaptation like this was written by people who don't have the slightest care for the source material. Season 2 was better than the first though, so at least there's that.

Dear Halo Studios Team,

As a longtime fan of the Halo franchise, I deeply admire the storytelling and innovation you've brought to each installment. I wanted to humbly suggest an idea for future development: integrating a real-time AI companion—similar to Cortana—that interacts dynamically with players during gameplay.

I believe this could elevate immersion and create a truly groundbreaking experience. Thank you for your continued dedication to the Halo universe.

Warm regards,
