halo-the-series-chat

[toxic warren]

Scheduling conflicts sometimes mean it's not possible

[neat sentinel]

The last line made me irrationally angry.
“Find the Halo”? We found it ON ACCIDENT.
(At least, that’s how Halsey and Cortana wanted everyone to think…)

[candid trout]

Im sure the tech works well but not well enough to do it for like an ENTIRE shows worth.

[potent jay]

yea, chief literally got cortana then a day later he was on the ring IIRC

[pastel stump]

This is a entire different story

[potent jay]

so the story makes 0 sense

[dusky nova]

I only had two minor gripes with the trailer. Cortana wasn't fully blue, and I wanted some more Halo-esque music. Other than that though... 10/10, hell, 11/10. Very excited, especially since I found a workaround to the geographical boundaries of Paramount+.

[pastel stump]

Because it's not following the original canon

[potent jay]

great, so now we have like 2 timelines to keep track of

the games and now the series

[fathom whale]

The FAQ literally says it will follow a different timeline mate. Read a bit

[potent jay]

why cant it be like the previous movies and just add context to the games?

[deft sinew]

no lip sync with Chief, obviously

[pastel stump]

Because they choose not to

[dusky nova]

Wait till he learns about the Fracture lores

[sterile pine]

Contact Harvest show? Yes. Please.

[toxic warren]

Not everything translates well across mediums

[deft sinew]

wait til you hear about Avengers and the MCU

[potent jay]

343 are better at bungie that saying what is cannon and what isnt but dam this show is a big blunder when it comes to keeping cannon simple

[sterile pine]

Not even a full show, just 3-4 episodes tops

[crystal slate]

whats with the AK in the trailer

[timid gyro]

Worms were doing work

[potent jay]

yea i get that but stories between the games have been found before and it could have worked 100% IMO

[somber glacier]

I’ve been waiting so long for a Halo show, this better be good

[quaint monolith]

were the worm things flood? cant tell lmao

[south wraith]

why didnt they just use steve downes

[dusky nova]

Why would you want the canon to be "simple" though? The more lore we get, the better. They could've just said "nah mate this is a fun non canon project" but no, they went to the lengths of creating a new timeline. I think that in itself deserves applause.

[toxic warren]

Maybe Steve wasn't available

[sterile pine]

Nah I think they're supposed to be the Lekgolo

[crystal slate]

worms is probably lek golo

[potent jay]

if anything id want a halo TV show to not have chief in it and maybe to focus on what else was going on like how humanity was fairing for the few weeks it didnt have chief while he was on the first ring or something

[crystal slate]

still wanna know whats up with the AK in the 26th century

[quaint monolith]

i actually havent heard of lek golo before! what are they from?

[south wraith]

i doubt it he isnt a very busy guy and doesn't do much works outside of halo

[sterile pine]

They're the hunter worms!

[quaint monolith]

ohhhhhh

[deft sinew]

Steve was trying to voice Chief but wasn't able to pop a queue 🙃

[potent jay]

more lore is great, so long as it all fits together and does not create multiple timelines

[quaint monolith]

That is actually cool they are being included

[proper sonnet]

why did they go with that song cover?

[dusky nova]

I was also thinking that since Steve is getting older, he might not wanna do long and tiring projects. A show definitely requires a lot more dialogue work than a videogame.

[south wraith]

fr why have a show have an adaptation for something everyone already knows instead of doing something new and making it canon

[pastel stump]

Why not lmao

[deft sinew]

yeah plus this could end up being a very long commitment

[dusky nova]

Multiple timelines already exist in Halo.

[potent jay]

i only gave a suggestion of what to focus on.

[deft sinew]

i'm giving the trailer a solid 8/10. very happy with what it shows about the story so far 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[south wraith]

cgi looks great minus whatever theyre doing with cortana

[dusky nova]

Why didn't they hire the 3 phenomenal gentlemen who worked on Infinite's soundtrack for the show, though?

[deft sinew]

agreed

[crystal slate]

seriously whats with the AK at 0:09

[bronze wharf]

Implying such a perfect low-cost weapon won’t be around for rebels and lesser funded armies for a few thousand years? /s

[south wraith]

that was outrageous to see

[pastel stump]

Those people also have another works, one of them recently worked for the Ruined King for Riot Forge
So basically they are not available either

[deft sinew]

maybe infinite's soundtrack wasn't as widely well received as you think 🤷🏽‍♀️ or maybe that plus the studio has their own people

[dusky nova]

Kalashnikovs are now canon in Halo's Silver timeline haha.

[toxic warren]

Likely they were working on Infinite at the time

[tawdry kestrel]

If the Insurrection are using low tech weaponry it would make sense for me

[quaint monolith]

They are prolly used to potray how poor they are haha. I actaully really like it

[south wraith]

the ak would be like 500 years old at the time i dont think people use 1600s rifles that much these days

[pastel stump]

Look If the AK can last long time using, it can be last for centuries

[dusky nova]

Yeah possible.

[ripe scarab]

oh huh is that a Gladius-class corvette in front of the SDV

[tawdry kestrel]

Well the UNSC's ballistics aren't exactly high tech either

[crystal slate]

600 years old actually

[dusky nova]

Oh, I see.

[crystal slate]

rven worss

[quaint monolith]

Gotta remember as well the halo universe isnt gonna have the same rules as the real world. So maybe it wouldnt be that crazy for them

[dusky nova]

Not really, the post rock soundtrack was very very well received by the community.

[south wraith]

dont they follow basically the same history as ours except for before civilization and after the present

[dusky nova]

Bro AKs in Halo ahahaha this is amazing.

[deft sinew]

there are 100 million AKs produced so far and we'll be making them at least another hundred years. not hard to imagine them hundreds of years from now, though many many updates on other weapons will have occurred.

also do we have a timeline for Silver? is it still 500 years in the future, or just like 50 years?

[raw atlas]

I’m not super hyped, but I’ll see for myself ig

[willow star]

Maybe WW3 surplus for the Outer Colonies?

[quaint monolith]

I believe they Follow the same world history but since it is sci-fi they can easily mesh the rules for weaponry and stuff. I mean who knows maybe aks will still be used in 600 years lmao

[deft sinew]

oh? well i have it entirely muted so i guess it's not universal

[pine badger]

If you're able to watch it

[raw atlas]

Yeah. Eventually. Free trail maybe

[south wraith]

aks arent exactly the best piece of weaponry even today

[ripe scarab]

Trailer description says it's still 26th century.

[quaint monolith]

very very very reliable weapons

[deft sinew]

o

[pine badger]

The elite armour looks goofy

[dusky nova]

AKs wouldn't have been manufactured and used even to this day if they weren't reliable. They're also cheap and powerful. Great guns.

[deft sinew]

hopefully we get a Peacekeeper-style bollywood dance opener with Chief and Elites, Halsey, and Cortana

[south wraith]

yes theyre reliable but they arent the best

[dusky nova]

Wait, does this mean we could get some Kalashnikov-esque guns for Indinites's multiplayer down the line?

[south wraith]

even the best weapons from 100 years ago dont compare to the best weapons of today

[exotic saddle]

How do we feel about Cortana redesign

[south wraith]

horrible

[pastel stump]

Weird but doesn't look that bad

[dusky nova]

Decent, only gripe is the skin colour.

[exotic saddle]

I think it would be fine if she was blue

[dusky nova]

I'm actually happy she has the Infinite suit/uniform on.

[south wraith]

i think she looks like a 50 dollar costume from walmart thats so low in quality even the skin color goes through

[dreamy stirrup]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/936790718406610985/937465754780053534/Halo_Trailer_Screenshot_11.png

She’s still a hologram

[ripe scarab]

Best doesn't matter if you're a small group that just needs something that works.

[deft sinew]

it was hard enough getting the bizarre big eyed Gally as a Battle Angel fan, but there was at least some argument for it. idk about Cortana

[timid gyro]

just noticed Chief has an emblem on his chest piece.

[ripe scarab]

Sometimes reliability is a far better standard than being "the best".

[dusky nova]

Yeah, the S2 emblem afaik

[pine badger]

Pretty sure it's lekgolo worms

[dreamy stirrup]

Yea it’s the Spartan II emblem

[willow star]

Those were lekgolo worms

[dusky nova]

Footed

Kalashnikovs in Infinite multiplayer

[south wraith]

im not saying that. im saying in 500 years aks shouldnt be the most reliable weapon for cheap use

[dusky nova]

Yay or nay?

[dreamy stirrup]

Nah

[deft sinew]

If Sonic can fix their blue videogame character...

[dusky nova]

Why not? They've made an appearance in this trailer.

[dreamy stirrup]

Not enough time to go back and fix

[sand venture]

there's nothing to "fix"

she looks fine.

[bronze wharf]

If they’re the rebels, they don’t have unsc funding lol

[dreamy stirrup]

THIS. IS . A. SEPARATE. TIMELINE

[south wraith]

im not asking for the rebels to use assault rifles and magnums

[dusky nova]

The Cortana redesign doesn't irk me too much because of the Silver timeline thing.

[south wraith]

i just dont think them using aks would make sense in any universe 500 years in the future where progress is constantly being made

[dreamy stirrup]

What we know in game is set in stone.

The beauty of this show is they can do whatever they want

[exotic saddle]

Yeah

[bronze wharf]

Even if they’re just random settlement dwellers, they’re not likely to have top of the line armories

[dusky nova]

AKs with holographic ammo counters. All the progress we need.

[deft sinew]

i mean it's been 80 years and AKs are still in full production to this day. very possible for a ww3 to make that last far longer

[exotic saddle]

I’m just hoping that Johnson is in the show

[dusky nova]

I hope he isn't tbh

[south wraith]

because of a lack of advancement in technology due to no major reason to do so

[dusky nova]

He's an amazing character

One of my favourites

[dreamy stirrup]

I mean AK’s can be buried underneath sand for YEARS and can still function fine

[south wraith]

war brings technological advancement thats been tried and true since the dawn of humanity

[deft sinew]

I wanna see Johnson walk over to Cortana, flip a switch and add a blue tint to her, "I know what the ladies like"

[dusky nova]

But I don't think he should come back unless they find a perfect likeness to the H2A Blur Johnson.

[bronze wharf]

they had a black dude in some similar armor in the trailer who seemed tight with chief but no hat or cigar makes it hard to assume it was him or not

[exotic saddle]

True

[dreamy stirrup]

They don’t have to have a Johnson

[ripe scarab]

because of a lack of advancement in technology due to no major reason to do so
You do realize this is like half the reason weapons tech in core Halo canon hasn't gone very far either, right?
Like flat out the reason for it is because there was 3-4 centuries of relative peace.

[bronze wharf]

Just wanna say the EOD spartan looks incredibly BASED tho

[exotic saddle]

I know but we can hope

[ripe scarab]

I don't think it's really that weird for some AK-pattern rifle to still be in production hundreds of years into the future

[dusky nova]

I think regular members can create threads in this channel group. Is that intentional?

[exotic saddle]

Let’s all hope that this is more action than explaining past events

[odd epoch]

Hello what the hell happened with cortana

[exotic saddle]

New timeline

[crisp gyro]

She looks dope that’s what

[odd epoch]

Nah

[lament meadow]

She needs to be purple/blue

[gaunt shard]

cant see the trailer, where can i see it with good resolution ?

[exotic saddle]

YouTube

[upbeat jungle]

Mikhail Kalashnikov is disappoint

[rain sorrel]

She's supposed to be a copy of Halsey from what I know, so I guess that's why they made her look that way

[silent hound]

Did y'all see that football commercial about the series? Lol it was weird lol

[rain sorrel]

From what I heard, that's supposed to be Keyes

[south wraith]

thats fine but shes more white than blue lol

[crisp gyro]

Get out of here with that logic. The man’s said he wants blue chesticles

Lol

[upbeat jungle]

it also destroys knowledge like with the library of Alexandria

[crystal slate]

one with AKs apparently

lol

[meager anvil]

Do we know who the Spartans are with chief? Or is that a mystery

[sand venture]

#faq-and-glossary

[uncut slate]

I hope they don’t go down the road of chief not being loyal to the UNSC

[south wraith]

if you can showcase where mass amounts of knowledge about guns were destroyed in the 500 years from the present of today to the events of halo id agree with you

[dusky nova]

The best timeline.

[bronze wharf]

Cortana looks good. Chief’s squad looks good. Nice that u can tell which are the ladies without it being inappropriate too.

[frigid shore]

Elite Armor look ugly, what da hell

[ripe scarab]

I don't get why everyone's hung up on the AKs when 21st century weapons (and older) have shown up in core canon already

[rain sorrel]

AKs are just built different man

[dusky nova]

Elites look amazing.

[hollow linden]

Is it just me or does chief have a new emblem on his right chest

[odd epoch]

Trailer says something along the lines of what happena if you can't control him or something

[broken grove]

AKs are infinite

[uncut slate]

Elites looked pretty cool

[south wraith]

like?

[crisp gyro]

I don’t get why everyone’s hung up on AKs when it’s a fictional show about aliens and super soldiers

[uncut slate]

Yeah that what I’m worried about

[south wraith]

half the fandom got mad when the sidekick looked like a cod pistol but an ak is alr okay

[silent hound]

If Halo 4 Forward Unto Dawn can pull it off, they should be able to with the way bigger budget.

[meager anvil]

Probably cause people didn’t expect to see equipment from our own time period lol

[bronze wharf]

Interesting. He doesn’t seem like he is old enough for that but for all we know this is a long time before chiefs first ice nap

[uncut slate]

I liked the look of that sidekick ngl, something new

[ripe scarab]

Desert Eagles, Colt SAA revolver

[south wraith]

where were those at

[ripe scarab]

People keep old weapons around, museum pieces or not.

[uncut slate]

In universe they could be something else

That looks similar

[wooden bay]

i'd probably just chalk that up to people being afraid of what they don't understand, but it also makes me a little nervous

[crisp gyro]

Sure, but it’s fiction. People getting pressed about it is bizzaro

[broken grove]

series looking 👍
the response from everyone is kinda expected even though this is on different time line. everyone used to the games pov

[south wraith]

yes they do. people dont use old weapons as ways to fight against people with guns that can shred human life far more efficiently

[odd epoch]

It would seem like the average protagonist-learns-he-works-for-bad-guys-then-turns-against-them movie

[ripe scarab]

Reach militia member carries an old Deagle around in Shadows of Reach, Petra Janecek has a pretty blatant SAA lookalike that she still uses on occasion.

[meager anvil]

Yeah I’m not upset about it, but it was funny to see it show up

[uncut slate]

We don’t even know if they are actually AKs as we know them

[rain sorrel]

It's probably early in the war, so that's probably why. As long as they keep his character, I'll be happy. Pretty sure the guy who's playing him is a good actor

[solid plume]

Real question is when reach will get glassed in this timeline

[meager pecan]

To be honest, stuff like an AK47 is easier to make than say, an advanced technological weapon. They're cheap to make especially in that sort of environment. Additionally it's likely part to the weapon being well, efficient at what it does anyways

People still use guns like the M1 Garand in deployment purely because it works

[rain sorrel]

Hopefully

I wanna see noble team as well at some point

[ripe scarab]

Yeah, that too. For all we know it's some super space "AK-224" with advanced recoil control and improved cartridges.

[crystal slate]

with wood furniture apparently

[ripe scarab]

Nothing says it's literally an old AK-47, just some kind of AK-pattern rifle.

[meager pecan]

For rebels or a rimworld society to use AKs is completely fair in my opinion

[south wraith]

this i wouldnt mind

[bronze wharf]

Ye i recognize that actor. He’s solid.

[crystal slate]

i want a halo BR with wood furniture, thatd be sick

[uncut slate]

Yeah, it may have an AK 47 looking outer shell, but for all we know internally it could be different

[manic moon]

Covenant humans?

[uncut slate]

Glad we got to see the BR

[solid plume]

Yea I was a little confused by that

[uncut slate]

Also I’m not a fan of how cortana looked

[south wraith]

this is by far my only major complaint

[manic moon]

Why does nobody talk about it?

[south wraith]

why would the covenant raise humans

[toxic warren]

Remember that this is a different timeline - it doesn't need to and won't follow the same lines as the games. This is intentional

[rain sorrel]

Is the girl who's in the covenant supposed to be a human or some sort of humanoid that looks like one?

[wintry grail]

Confusion

[south wraith]

i think i read somewhere that the prophets raised a human for some reason

[rain sorrel]

Maybe they do that to get access to the rings in this timeline?

[solid plume]

A spy perhaps?

[south wraith]

i doubt it

but shell probably be confused and then switch swides

[ripe scarab]

Probably something to do with humans being reclaimers if that part has been retained from core canon

[south wraith]

i doubt this show has the most insane writing around

[stone sky]

It's a different timeline. Don't worry about Canon. It's Canon to the silver timeline

[south wraith]

idk if im the only one who doesnt like the whole different timeline thing

[stone sky]

We should call the main timeline the Gold timeline

[south wraith]

why not just do a core timeline story

[stone sky]

So they got more freedom

[solid plume]

Less room to expand I guess

[rain sorrel]

In the Canon the prophets start the war because they wanted to cover up humanity being the reclaimers, so it wouldn't make too much sense if they use that same plot point in the show

[wintry grail]

It's better to have a different timeline, for if they f the show up

[subtle axle]

it also gives them the chance to experiment which they definitely are & I like that

[south wraith]

i mean i kind of just want new halo content thats canon and isnt a book

[wintry pelican]

I'd have to guess it probably stems from compromises to greenlight the tv show

[mystic galleon]

Nah man why does cortana look like that

[tall cave]

Hey guys

[wintry grail]

Cortana aint even blue

[mystic galleon]

Fr

[uncut slate]

Mhm

It’s whatever

[wintry pelican]

I watched the trailer

[uncut slate]

New timeline, can do what they want with it

[tall cave]

Only thing I didn't like about the trailer was the absence of the classic Halo theme

[dense yoke]

huh why is the trailer not available

[wintry grail]

True, just hope its good

[uncut slate]

The point of it is that it’s not the same

[stone sky]

Different timeline

[rain sorrel]

I think they were trying to make her look like Halsey, so that's why she looks like that

[toxic warren]

They used Jen Taylor for voice and visuals, not seeing a problem with how she looks

[deft sinew]

I wonder if John will achieve Hyper Lethal Vector status this season or if it will leave us on a cliffhanger for next one. Maybe someone else gets HLV before John in the last ep as a twist

[mystic galleon]

https://youtu.be/5KZ3MKraNKY

[wintry grail]

Still tho, isn't she suppose to be an AI, projected as a hologram?

[uncut slate]

Yes

[dense yoke]

yes that says its not available

[stone sky]

I think the USS Enterprise will win and destroy High Charity.

[uncut slate]

Hologram doesn’t have to be blue

[wintry pelican]

Not available for me either. I think it's US only

[mystic galleon]

Interesting

[uncut slate]

I can watch it

[timid gyro]

make her blue in post. I doubt it's hard.

[south wraith]

cortana should be blue tho

if they can fix sonic they can fix her

[rain sorrel]

Yeah, but other AI in the canon can look pretty human as well, like the one from halo wars 2

[tall cave]

Cortana looked fine to me

[uncut slate]

Different timeline, the entire thing is supposed to be different

[bronze wharf]

Picard crossover episode? Pog

[stone sky]

They won't do what you want and make her Cyan!

[wintry grail]

lmao

[wintry pelican]

I'm not a fan of the way she looks, though the show isn't canon so..

[uncut slate]

Seems like the fans just want halo the game series part 2

[timid gyro]

it's just a weird change.

[south wraith]

just because it can be different doesnt mean it should

[subtle axle]

I think it's her hairstyle for me not digging it but oh well

[stone sky]

It should.

[wintry pelican]

No, fans just want a halo tv show that sticks to the universe and tells interesting unique stories, i believe

[wintry grail]

Yeah, the hair is kinda off

[uncut slate]

This is why they chose it to be a different timeline

[tall cave]

Yeah the hair is a bit weird

[mystic galleon]

Nah it’s the not being blue

[stone sky]

The hair is fine. Dreadlocks would have been better on her

[south wraith]

considering we just had a halo game come out and people are already bored of it i dont blame them, new content is awesome and instead its being used for an AU

[subtle axle]

that too

[uncut slate]

The point of the thing is that it doesn’t stick to the uinverse lol

[ashen wedge]

You can’t really have both

[solid plume]

Ngl a Picard cameo would be pretty funny

[bronze wharf]

The hair looks like an improvement over the 8-bit haircut she had in CE tbh

[south wraith]

you most definitely can

[stone sky]

Kirk will beat up Chief

[wintry grail]

I just want a Johnson and an Arby

[tall cave]

Halo X Star Trek crossover 😋

[wintry pelican]

Why then...

[wintry pelican]

Yes you can

[south wraith]

there are hundreds of worlds and millions of people in the halo universe who they could talk about

[stone sky]

Maybe

[wintry pelican]

Look at all the halo books, or halo legends or other stuff

[tawdry kestrel]

I mean every previous live action Halo media has stuck to established canon lol

[bronze wharf]

capt- … CHIEF ON THE BRIDGE

[south wraith]

just a random odst squad would be awesome as a show

[stone sky]

They could encounter Starfleet!

[rain sorrel]

Pretty sure the first elite shown in the trailer is arby, or at least one of them

[wintry grail]

YES

[wintry grail]

Maybe an arbiter, but I want THE arbiter

[uncut slate]

People are bored so they should just make an exact copy of the games as a show, got it

[deft sinew]

Master Chief is a girl for sure, they'll probably show us like 2nd to last ep. Silver Timeline ftw, they can do anything at all with the series ❤❤❤

[south wraith]

instead we're getting master chief and a bunch of new characters fighting the covenant again

[ashen wedge]

Nah

[wintry pelican]

Well, since there's a lot of visual stuff and different canon and stuff, I can't tell. Maybe it's thel, maybe it's someone else, who knows

[ashen wedge]

You know Hollywood

[exotic saddle]

Was that lord hood that was talking to Halsey

[wintry pelican]

About the arbiter looking character

[south wraith]

if thats what you understand from my message then you lack basic reading comprehension

[rain sorrel]

Looks like him, so I guess so

[bronze wharf]

John halo? Meet me in my ready room.

[wintry pelican]

Keep it cool poison

[solid plume]

Who wins in a battle of UNSC vs Starfleet

[south wraith]

i dont want an adaptation of the games and i dont want an AU

[uncut slate]

Personal attack for what lad

[tall cave]

UNSC

[uncut slate]

Yes

[south wraith]

because theres no other way to explain it

[stone sky]

He needs to talk to Admiral Kirk first

[uncut slate]

?

[south wraith]

i dont understand how you read what i wrote and got what you said from it

[rain sorrel]

Would be funny if they actually got ron perlman to play hood again, but his face would be completely off-putting lol

[subtle axle]

it looks like they're showing the whole Spartans against rebels & I think that'll be really interesting to see

[wintry pelican]

Oh i found the word

Uncanny

[tawdry kestrel]

Yeah, nothing sounds more interesting than, Spartans fighting humans...

Really save on the CG budget with that decision.

[south wraith]

they could adapt the comics, books, something new, but instead they choose to do chief vs the covenant for the thousandth time

[minor willow]

horrible how could any fan oif the actuall story be pleased

[deft sinew]

yep xbox 360 graphics uncanny valley

[wintry pelican]

Uh no i don't want them to adapt books or comics

Certain scenes where an important thing happens sure, like a flashback

[subtle axle]

I mean that's what they were made for

[rain sorrel]

That's part of the reason why the Spartans were made tho

[south wraith]

i would definitely prefer a new story though in the main universe

[uncut slate]

I mean, this whole series is aimed at the wider audience. Everyone knows the UNSC vs Covenant thing even if they haven’t played much halo

[wintry pelican]

but, just a new story is what i'd like

[toxic warren]

It's not always possible to just "adapt" an existing piece of work. Not everything translates well across mediums

[stone sky]

Unsc vs Starfleet

[uncut slate]

The whole reason for this show existing is so that paramount plus has a big name for their platform

[subtle axle]

true true stckr

[tawdry kestrel]

We've seen Halo translate well to live action multiple times before though

I don't buy the episodic format being an issue.

[uncut slate]

Mhm

[deft sinew]

Silver Timeline is gonna be tight. Who knows, maybe Sgt Johnson is a girl as well as Master Chief

[wintry pelican]

Fall of reach being adapted into comic book, and halo reach..... and animated series does show many don't go for adaptations, but for new stories

[south wraith]

this brings me back to my main point. halo isnt a wider audience, its always been a closer knit community that doesnt get a massive amount of new people. i can almost guarantee the majority of people on infinite right now have played a halo game before

[wintry pelican]

no offense stckr, since your face got to be in the animated series

hehe

[minor willow]

adapting a story and turning it into a completly different thing are very different

[wintry grail]

I crave for something more with ODST. I hope we get a portion of ODSTs in the show

[tawdry kestrel]

It's just corporate fear over trying to make a Halo product without Chief as the face because 'it wont sell'

[toxic warren]

Lol

[south wraith]

exactly

[polar rain]

Well... XD

[subtle axle]

same that'll be cool

[south wraith]

this is what i was thinking. the higher ups think halo is only master chief and only master chief will sell

[wintry pelican]

Maybe you'll reprise your role in another show or season

[tawdry kestrel]

inb4 ODSTs don't exist in the silver timeline lol

[south wraith]

god i would hate that

[wintry grail]

IMAGINE

[uncut slate]

Yes halo games aren’t aimed at. wider audience, that’s why they’re making a show in an alternate timeline to do so. Everyone knows about the halo games but the game format doesn’t appeal to everyone which is why they’re making it into a show

The whole point is to appeal to a broad audience to bring viewers to the platform

[tall cave]

Find the Halo, Win the War.

[minor willow]

puke

[south wraith]

making it into a show to appeal to a bigger audience. the issue with that is it wont, halo doesnt do that.

[wintry pelican]

That's what I believe. Compromises to greenlight a tv show. Probably on the other side, needing it to be set during a time period otherwise not green lit or something, that's conjecture but it's what I believe probably happened

[hexed nacelle]

Wait if Chief is a girl, how are they named john

[uncut slate]

We don’t know that

[south wraith]

yes we do

[uncut slate]

The show hasn’t aired yet

[south wraith]

halo has never done it

[deft sinew]

girls can be named John 😍

[hexed nacelle]

I give up.

[uncut slate]

Because they’re games

And a couple of lower budget micro shows

[bronze wharf]

I would assume they’re absolutely not guaranteed to be in season 1. I think the spartan program predates the odst program so they’d likely come later

[wintry pelican]

It was cool that my friend whos not into halo, was watching football and then it shows up for him

[south wraith]

if you can show me someone who said "i will be buying a paramount plus subscription so i can experience halo for the first time" then i will concede and admit ur right

[polar rain]

I'm confused, is it an adaptation or a recreation? is it canon? I don't understand anything XD and the woman who comes out talking doesn't appear in the games nor have I ever heard of her

[minor willow]

show story is the issue too many chages alienate fans

[uncut slate]

Dude what?

[toxic warren]

#faq-and-glossary

[wintry grail]

Not canon, different timline

[tawdry kestrel]

I mean there's something to be said for waiting until it has aired, there's also something to be said for having an issue with it on a conceptual level.

[deft sinew]

Get Paramount+ for Star Trek DS9 and Disco, stay for Halo the Series

[polar rain]

Thanks :')

[minor willow]

cgi looks great story is not

[wintry pelican]

I need to find out how to watch it in canada

[wintry grail]

CGI looks... eh at certain scenes

[wintry pelican]

https://www.paramountplus.com/ca/

It's here for me!

[minor willow]

ok fair elites look great

[wintry pelican]

Let's not encourage such things poison.

[tawdry kestrel]

Someone will license it here in the UK at some point.

Gonna watch out of morbid curiosity, my motivation for 90% of tv at this point.

[south wraith]

unfortunate

[wintry grail]

Ya wanna be a pirate instead then?

[deft sinew]

i'm as impressed with the snippets of story we got as with the cgi. it looks great.

not sure about cosplay potential for a non-blue cortana tho

[toxic warren]

It's going to be available through Sky Q in the UK

[tawdry kestrel]

Oh I haven't seen it wdym she's not blue

Like she's purple or what

[pastel stump]

😔 not available here

[toxic warren]

If you have Sky Cinema you get it for free, or you can get it as an add on

[minor willow]

a true fan of halo would be alienated by this horendious idea of story

[quaint monolith]

just have fun with it. It looks enjoyable

[uncut slate]

You’re dumping on a show you haven’t seen?

[deft sinew]

oh you are in for it

[toxic warren]

There is no such thing as a "true fan"

[uncut slate]

How can you call it horrendous when you literally haven’t seen it lol

[minor willow]

ysure am cause 2 minutes just showed they have completly turned a striaght forward story into garbage

[south wraith]

idk i think someone who has experienced every piece of halo content could be considered a true fan

[solid plume]

I think the adaptation of not straight up stumbling upon the ring works a little better for a tv show format

[tawdry kestrel]

I'm getting images of those crappy 'human cortana' edits in my mind now please don't

[south wraith]

idk if thats even possible though

[wintry grail]

hmmmmmm

[uncut slate]

You literally don’t know the story though dude

You’ve seen a trailer not the show, calm your jets

[deft sinew]

you're incredibly in for it.

[south wraith]

we know its master chief vs the covenant once again

thats more than enough reason to not be excited for it

[pastel stump]

https://tenor.com/view/impress-based-american-psycho-very-based-impressive-very-based-gif-21665669

[toxic warren]

Not having played as many games, not owning as much merchandise or not going to as many live events, etc... does not make you any less of a fan

[minor willow]

an artifact leads to humans learning of halo enough said

[pastel stump]

Oh no my power to send gifs doesn't work here 😔

[uncut slate]

Everything sounds bad if you dumb it down that much. You can argue every Star Wars movie is the same if you dumb it down enough

[minor willow]

spartans... controllable????

[uncut slate]

Rebels vs empire

[quaint monolith]

they are soldiers of course they are

[south wraith]

odst is not the same thing

[wintry grail]

I mean, haha, the sequels kinda did that

[uncut slate]

Just don’t trash on something you haven’t seen yet

[south wraith]

or halo reach

[deft sinew]

you can be a big halo fan without having played the series.

i'm a fan of souls games just bc i like quality game experiences that make lots of other fans happy. never played them myself.

[uncut slate]

Makes no sense

[wintry pelican]

That does tend to be very much true during the human covenant war

[uncut slate]

Spartans vs convenient

UNSC be Convenant

Like what

[south wraith]

id be fine with that though

[uncut slate]

That’s what this is

Same thing

[south wraith]

master chief is cool and all but we've got enough of him

[minor willow]

better yet but chief with cortana because you cant trust him??? WTF

[south wraith]

leave him to the games

[sand venture]

convenient

[wintry grail]

True, but then again, paramount doesnt care

[uncut slate]

There’s no way to say something is bad if you haven’t actually seen it

[south wraith]

thats basically what the covenant have become

[uncut slate]

Lol my bad 😅

[toxic warren]

Best typo

[wintry grail]

Very convenient for Paramount indeed

[uncut slate]

When main villains are in show

[deft sinew]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang so true given the banished are nothing but a proto covenant 2.0

[stone sky]

That should be their new name. Convenient

[south wraith]

when main villains have been rehashed 14 million times

[scarlet burrow]

yoooo just watched the trailer

[subtle axle]

lol silver timeline anything is possible!

[uncut slate]

Cry about it then

[wintry pelican]

They may serve similar gameplay functions but they are quite different

[south wraith]

amazing argument

[minor willow]

sure there is. Conceptionally this story looks like its going to destroy and alienate an entire fan base to try to intise plebs to something for money sake. can you say Resident evil

[wintry pelican]

Stay civil

[wintry grail]

https://tenor.com/view/odst-helmet-scifi-soldier-helmet-on-gif-19367981

[quaint monolith]

of course the main villans are rehashed they are the main villans lmao

[uncut slate]

Don’t watch the show is an easy solution for you then mate

[south wraith]

no

i can watch a show, enjoy it, and think it isnt good

[tawdry kestrel]

Okay I just saw Cortana in one of the other chats.

In-game H2:A now has competition that's all I'm saying.

[south wraith]

thats the beauty of having different minds

[wintry grail]

Can't judge a show before watching it

[uncut slate]

You don’t know that 🤷‍♂️

[south wraith]

i havent said the show is bad or will be

i said im not excited for it because its just mc vs covenant

[wintry grail]

Only minor judging 😄

[scarlet burrow]

yo i got a question tho, spoilerinos???? ahead ||how come chief's voice is like kinda breathy and the modulator doesn't sound like the one they use in the games, and how come cortana isn't blue???|| am i putting this in the right chat or

[wintry grail]

I feel you

[uncut slate]

Idk man, just a different take on it

[south wraith]

Alternate universe means they can do whatever they want without the lore of the original universe

[scarlet burrow]

Ooooh that's a fair point

[deft sinew]

I was referring entire to the plot itself, not the gameplay at all. Of course, that's interesting in itself, an anti-cov force becoming that which it hates the most. All the fault of poor leadership.

[quaint monolith]

points to them showing his face cause it would be difficult to use a va

[minor willow]

your right i dont but enough was shown to make this very educated guess the show will get its fair shot by all means but skepticisms need to be there its not great just because it says halo

[tawdry kestrel]

I mean I'm guessing it will be mediocre given the track record of practically every other video game adaptation

It might do some things that will be outright bad but that remains to be seen

[south wraith]

it probably will be but at least its more halo

[rain sorrel]

The guy playing him is voicing him, not OG VA. And idk about cortana, maybe they wanted to make her look more like Halsey

[wintry pelican]

I'd definitely like to enlighten things though maybe on other chats

[uncut slate]

Im not saying it’ll be great, I’m just saying we probably shouldn’t dump on it if we haven’t seen anything other than a 2 min trailer

[tawdry kestrel]

I'd rather a Legends 2 with different studios and tighter artistic control tbh

[deft sinew]

yeah a lore chat thing. maybe next time

[wintry pelican]

That would be great rains

[south wraith]

the writers arent bad, steven kane has some good productions and kyle killen hasnt made anything great or bad

[south wraith]

so how are we supposed to feel about it

[tawdry kestrel]

Ambivalent probably, that's what I'm going with

[south wraith]

yeah but thats boring

[wintry grail]

One of the directors on the show made "Death Race 2", how exciting

[south wraith]

oh no

[tawdry kestrel]

Oh...oh dear

I mean one work isn't indicative of the creator as a whole but still

[deft sinew]

i think both have done AMAZING work actually

[pastel stump]

NO WAY

[south wraith]

what has kyle killen done that you think is amazing?

[deft sinew]

Awake in particular was extremely underrated

[wintry grail]

So Kyle Killen seems fine, but I have no clue who Steven Kane is.

[unreal sand]

ODST came before spartan 1

[frigid gale]

Why is there a human in the covenant

[tawdry kestrel]

Different timeline Mega. Who knows.

[unreal sand]

not sure its covenant, maybe something else

[wintry grail]

Yeah no, don't know

[south wraith]

alternate universe means they do whatever they want

[muted harness]

What are we thinking then, was that the flood with the new character?

[south wraith]

no

[unreal sand]

also this, which is annoying, becuase what was wrong with the original story

[south wraith]

lekgolo

the worms in the hunters

[wintry grail]

Yeah yeah

[unreal sand]

interesting...

[bronze wharf]

Well then I’m a dummy. I did say i assumed lol. Either way this is a separate branch of canon so they’re not guaranteed to make an appearance i think if this is focused on rebels and not the rings/planetary defenses from covenant attack

[tawdry kestrel]

I guess the Covenant can still be openly genocidal towards the human race but accepting of a human kid.

But maybe the Prophets keep them a secret to access forerunner tech or smth like the Pope and the piece of eden in Assassin's Creed.

[south wraith]

the second reason is the only thing i can think of

[edgy summit]

what did they do to cortana

[wintry grail]

Please give me ODSTs

[south wraith]

humans are generally more pathetic than grunts to the covenant

[toxic warren]

Not using core canon means they have a bit more scope to explore things they may not have been able to in the games.
Also means they're not forcing people to pay for a streaming service just to follow core canon.

[frigid gale]

I liked everything in the trailer except for that, I am for the idea of a new interpretation of the trilogy but having a human villain that looks like evil Rey just is a bit too far imo

[unreal sand]

i kinda think we need to approach by not comparing it to the Halo we know. seems to be quite different

[wintry grail]

https://tenor.com/view/godfather-massacre-sad-gif-16810633

[exotic saddle]

So they are doing something with hunters that they have not done in the games and I am okay with it

[muted harness]

Nathan Fillion cameo when

[granite zinc]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KZ3MKraNKY

yo mr 343

why you decide to block the trailer in europe

wtf

[frigid gale]

Cortana also looks a bit weird, but I can get used to it maybe

[tawdry kestrel]

I love 'video not available' it's my favorite!

[exotic saddle]

Yep

[granite zinc]

you dont want any european customers? alright

[south wraith]

is it available in europe?

[granite zinc]

no it is not

[south wraith]

i heard from some it was only NA

[toxic warren]

Legal issues with broadcasting likely

[exotic saddle]

Why is that happening

[granite zinc]

the trailer doesnt work

[south wraith]

jeez man that sucks

[granite zinc]

well done

USA = the whole world

no other country exists

[toxic warren]

You can watch it on twitter

[south wraith]

fr that sucks

[edgy summit]

cortana looks like she's made with cgi, so why didn't they just try to make her look similar to how Cortana (not the weapon) looks in Halo Infinite, minus the purple

[granite zinc]

ye in 360p

[frigid gale]

Did you try the version from Australia, that might work

[south wraith]

lmaooo

[granite zinc]

link?

[toxic warren]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[south wraith]

💀💀

[frigid gale]

https://youtu.be/ctV-IRWbRms

[south wraith]

thats honestly sad tho you cant even watch it

[granite zinc]

yeah its working thanks

[south wraith]

is the show available worldwide?

[granite zinc]

efs sake paramount get your flark together

[wintry grail]

He obeys the slur bot

[twilit dagger]

Lol i waited like 15mins to find the official channel and video so i can watch at the highest quality but it isnt "available"

[edgy summit]

and another thing, why couldn't they just put Steve Downes's voice over Chief in the show. man sounds like Mando instead of Master Chief

[south wraith]

fr

they got cortana and not the one and only master chief

he literally wears a helmet all day it isnt hard

[exotic saddle]

Any country that paramount plus in in

[twilit dagger]

Why shouldnt the actor that plays him not voice him? Especially since its a different timeline

[edgy summit]

I mean they did something similar back in the 70s with Darth Vader in Star Wars

[frigid gale]

Paramount also has this weird thing where at the start of the trailer, they have this text that goes “official trailer starts now”, they had this on the sonic movie trailer and it’s really annoying for some reason lol

[toxic warren]

It's available wherever Paramount+ is streaming - there may be serves in your country that have deals to show the service.
Like in the UK - Sky Q customers will be able to watch

[south wraith]

because why not use master chief?

why use jen taylor?

argument makes no sense

[toxic warren]

He may not have been available

[kind hull]

Chief’s new voice is going to take some getting used to

[edgy summit]

also why did they make Halsey look young

[tawdry kestrel]

Okay so my biggest issue is that 'epic female vocalist cover' of Phil Collins

That's actually the worst part about it

[granite zinc]

yeah that was bad

but the trailer looked good

[kind hull]

It sounds fine, I just wish they would’ve used Steve Downes voice

[south wraith]

years of production and steve downes doing almost nothing besides halo idk

[wintry grail]

Yeah, a bit too young

[south wraith]

he wont even advertise it and hes a fan of halo

[edgy summit]

bruh he sounds like the Mandalorian

[tawdry kestrel]

Going the Shepard route of having Chief touch a forerunner object and feeling 'different' afterwards.

If he starts getting aggressive visions and Cortana has to help parse them out I'm gonna squeal

[placid frigate]

Gonna be interesting tomorrow when I start honestly tackling the stuff for Halopedia aha.

[edgy summit]

nah, Steve took one look at cortana and said "aw hell nah"

[heady halo]

I know I said it before but they should’ve put more budget into Cortana’s design

[wintry grail]

Unless chief is like 15, but he gets cortana in his late 30s

[kind hull]

I think Halsey looks the most accurate out of the whole cast

[edgy summit]

Chief

[kind hull]

Maybe Age her up a bit with makeup, but besides that it’s basically how I wouldve imagined a live action Halsey

[verbal fox]

In #faq-and-glossary
Is it supposed to be Unified Earth Government (as it is in lore) or did they purposely change it to United.

[kind hull]

Besides him

[heady halo]

Like add her old holographic designs, blue, and don’t make her look like an android

[wintry grail]

Yes

[heady halo]

I’m fine with Jen being the voice actor

But her designs need to be changed

[south wraith]

the funniest thing about reading the faq is "its called halo the series to distinct it from the games"

[kind hull]

I kinda wish they would’ve just retold the original story

But I don’t want to judge it too early

[edgy summit]

they should've just reused her model from Infinite and made it look more realistic and hd, made it blue, and called it a day instead of... whatever the hell they did

[south wraith]

honestly i wouldve preferred this over an AU

[kind hull]

Again, I don’t want to judge it too early and jump to conclusions

See how it plays out

I just hope there isn’t any human antagonist kind of stuff

[south wraith]

same

[bronze wharf]

Well they made the spartans to tackle the rebels issue right?

[tawdry kestrel]

You did see the Covenant's human child telling humanity to surrender right

[kind hull]

Unless it’s like rebel forces in which case maybe it might be good

[frigid gale]

^

[south wraith]

yeah but we got something far more entertaining being an entire alien race that conquers everything vs humans that fight because "govt bad"

[heady halo]

Although I did like the Elites (Sangheli) designs in the trailer but they should’ve added their armor to blue

[south wraith]

gross simplification of the rebels but still my point stands

[kind hull]

Yeah the elites look awesome

[edgy summit]

until I saw two elites on screen I was hyped for arby

[south wraith]

also the arbiter literally looked perfect

True

[median mural]

also who threw grape jam on Chief's visor at the end of the trailer

steel grey armor on an elite in the same position as arby

[bronze wharf]

Well you’ve had the opportunity to understand that rebels are a big part of the lore for a long time now, so it’s not really a surprise lol. The human covenant puppet is definitely a new thing tho i think?

Its an arbiter but not thel vadam

I would've said they could've used Halo 3 music like "One Final Effort" or the warthog run theme but it would almost ruin the music for me

[south wraith]

are you being fr

[kind hull]

Whatever the case, I’m willing to give the series a chance

[heady halo]

Could be Rippa. Doubt though, his teeth weren't jank enough.

Unless he saw a dentist in the Silver timeline.

[south wraith]

the most depth he should have is in infinite and 4 which i believe the show will make him even more deep

[twilit dagger]

This show is just a fun bonus and it has a different timeline so if its bad its not even connected to the games personally dont see a reason to be so hyper critical about it like WHY is CORTANA NOT BLUE

[bronze wharf]

Not sure what is bad about AU. The different branch of canon (au) means none of us can really assume anything lmao. All we can say for sure is covenant attack some humans in this trailer and the spartans are deployed

[heady halo]

Or purple or green into that matter

[twilit dagger]

If it has no signifcance to watch then why complain about it so much lmao

[bronze wharf]

Eh i don’t think anyone can AU as bad as blizzard entertainment so far. I’m sure it’ll be at the very least an okay show

[kind hull]

You could totally make a Reach movie with Noble Team

[south wraith]

because we couldve gotten something better

[pine pine]

I’m not sure how I feel about it

[twilit dagger]

Literally looks fine tho?

[pine pine]

I think the Spartans look cool

[twilit dagger]

Outside of the obvious cortana doesnt look like cortana

[pine pine]

I think most of the covenant look fine

[kind hull]

Yeah the Spartans look good

[south wraith]

i dont care if this has peak writing i dont want more chief

[kind hull]

????

[twilit dagger]

Im legit convinced Halo fans dont know what they want

[bronze wharf]

So u have seen the whole show lol? U speak like u have info we don’t

[pine pine]

I really don’t like the way cortana looks but that was probably inevitable

[kind hull]

Halo’s main protagonist is Chief

So it would make sense to have a Halo series involving him

[south wraith]

ok so lets ignore reach and odst

Shows about side characters just aren’t going to do as well

[twilit dagger]

Its like everytime theres a new piece of trailer for a game or trailer the 99% of this community hyperfocuses on their negative bs its getting exhausting as hell

[dusky lily]

The Elites look…interesting lol

[south wraith]

no new characters will make as much money as chief

[kind hull]

I highly doubt that

[pine pine]

I feel like the mandible things look weird on them honestly

[south wraith]

thats why they went with chief because chief is halo and is more profit

[pine pine]

Also they are really bulky

[fading flint]

If you want odst show watch landfall /s

[dusky lily]

They look like Brutes

[uncut slate]

Lol

[kind hull]

They chose chief because he’s literally the main character of Halo’s core series

[heady halo]

Just like with Doom Slayer in Doom. He’s the main character of doom and he also makes more profit

[uncut slate]

Yeah

[kind hull]

Without him, It’s like making a Mario Bros series without Mario or Luigi

[bronze wharf]

You want a spin off show/movie before the meat and potatoes of the lore? Sounds like you’re wanting a show about bane in gotham and commissioner gordon minus batman.
It does not make logical sense from a story telling standpoint

[median mural]

[twilit dagger]

Bruh thats not even remotely a similar comparison

[south wraith]

except it isnt because halo has a much much much larger universe with a great amount of potential for new things

[uncut slate]

Like obviously they’re going to include the main character of the games the series is based off

[south wraith]

halo isnt called master chief because it isnt master chief

[tawdry kestrel]

Y'know they did make a Mario movie with Mario and Luigi, and it was terrible

[bronze wharf]

Tbf luke is in that show so the point is kinda irrelevant

[twilit dagger]

What do u want a film about princess peach?

[uncut slate]

Ok, but he is the main character.

[south wraith]

sure

[kind hull]

He literally is, bro

and he always will be

Yeah but halos are all handled by 117 spearheading the assault 🤨

[south wraith]

so why not take the chance to expand the universe with something great instead of doing absolutely nothing for the halo universe

[uncut slate]

So when they make a show about it, naturally they’re going to start off with a story about the main charater

[fading flint]

I don't think Paramount would make their first halo series based off of side characters like odst or noble team without seeing how well a series with the main protagonist in the halo series will do

[dusky lily]

Wait. Are the prophets humans?

[kind hull]

They have Halo Nightfall

[south wraith]

no

[heady halo]

We could have a separate series of Arbiter

[dusky lily]

I’m watching the trailer and I’m super confused

[south wraith]

because money

[heady halo]

That would be epic

[uncut slate]

And then maybe make shoes about side characters like ODSTs or whatever you we’re on about?

[bronze wharf]

He plays a major role in his episode. Completely wipes out an attack by himself to save the baby yoda.

[uncut slate]

Obviously dude, that’s the core reason why literally all media is produced

[twilit dagger]

Because the show would have a grand total of 117 viewers if it was some original story with main characters no one knows or cares about cough cough halo 5

[uncut slate]

Like what?

[south wraith]

media used to be made for profit and making a product people generally enjoy

[uncut slate]

Who would’ve thought they made a show so it would make money

[kind hull]

It’s the dumbest thing to get worked up about Master Chief being in a Halo series, despite the fact that he’s literally the main protagonist. If you wanted something more about the universe or lore, you’d check out NightFall or something

[kind hull]

Ok so the more Chief is involved, the less creative it is

[ripe bronze]

yes

[south wraith]

yup

[fading flint]

You guys are talking about mandalorian as if there weren't already a few established star wars movies that doesn't include mando

[kind hull]

Flawless logic. Good job

[south wraith]

it is basically

[bronze wharf]

Yeah these guys just woke up looking for an argument lol. It would be like pulling a DOOM and not having the doom slayer in the movies. (Which was super lame imo)

[south wraith]

you cant even argue against it lmao

[uncut slate]

That’s pretty much what his argument is lol

Chief bad

[south wraith]

chief isnt bad

there is no mainline halo without chief

[twilit dagger]

The witcher is literally called the witcher and geralt is only one of the main characters it doesnt mean the whole show revolves around him so stop jumping to assumptions chief wont be on your screen 99% of the runtime and i hope he is cause chief is amazing lmao

[south wraith]

there is halo without chief tho

[fading flint]

If the chief TV show gets positive feedback they might consider doing spin offs, if the chief show does badly then they won't do spinoff since why make stuff for less popular characters if the more popular ones doesn't turn a profit

[bronze wharf]

Have u seen DOOM without the slayer? It’s legit awful and cringey

[uncut slate]

Dude imagine if they just made the mandalorian without any other Star Wars content. That’s seems to be the type of thing you’re arguing for

[south wraith]

what

[south wraith]

that doesnt make any sense

[uncut slate]

Of course they’re going to establish the main storyline with the major characters

[kind hull]

^^^^^

[south wraith]

mando is basically separate from the main continuity for the majority of it

[uncut slate]

Not start off with a show about ODSTs?

[median mural]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[south wraith]

halo already exists

[uncut slate]

Yes, that’s literally what you said you wanted

[pine pine]

Who is the blond girl towards the end of the trailer

[fading flint]

That's what I'm saying

[uncut slate]

A separate show about ODSTs

[toxic warren]

Can't tell you how many comments and tweets I've read that wanted Chief as the main character or they wouldn't even touch it. I'd love more non-Chief stuff, but a lot of folk out there don't

[south wraith]

the show wont bring any noticeable amount of new fans

[kind hull]

If you start off a halo series with ODSTs nobody who hasn’t seen or heard of Halo is going to be even interested

[pine pine]

Not Halsey

Short haired girl

[toxic warren]

How do you know?

[uncut slate]

You don’t know that lol

[verbal fox]

Makee

[uncut slate]

You’re just saying stuff for the sake of it at this point

The blonde at the end

[heady halo]

Ya I know that. His objection was to protect the Halo Ring until the Prophets arrive to see it for themselves but was focused to destroy the flood

[kind hull]

This guys def trolling lol

[uncut slate]

Literally this^^^^^

[pine pine]

Yeah but who is she

[uncut slate]

Has to be

[south wraith]

halo just isnt something that attracts new people

[uncut slate]

Halsey?

[uncut slate]

What…

Lol

[pine pine]

No not Halsey

[tawdry kestrel]

I think the amount of new fans the show will draw in is incalculable and kind of a dumb hill to plant your argument on ngl

👏 bravo

[uncut slate]

So like

[south wraith]

and that explains it

[uncut slate]

It does attract new fans

[twilit dagger]

I got into halo when mcc released to pc thats quite recent

[night void]

where grunt

[south wraith]

not a large majority

[tawdry kestrel]

I just wish it was focusing on something elsewhere in established canon.

I get the feeling that Chief being the protag and the existence of a new timeline are linked but but I can't prove it ofc.

[pine pine]

Are the prophets gonna be in this show

[kind hull]

Do you have statistics to back that?

[south wraith]

do you have any to prove im wrong?

no

[fading flint]

Good, get out of that rock you're living under while you're at it

[heady halo]

After seeing High Charity and the inside of it, it’s possible

[twilit dagger]

Do u have any facts to prove ur right?
No

[south wraith]

neither do you lmao

[rain sorrel]

There's a small snipit of them in the trailer, but they're very small in it

[twilit dagger]

Dumb arguement

[toxic warren]

You're making the claim, therefore the burden lies with you

[south wraith]

thats why i didnt say it was a fact

[uncut slate]

Dude what, infinite attracted lots of new people

[fading flint]

We see prophets in the trailer too I think

if it has gotten more than halo 3 then it still wouldnt have less of a population than halo 3

I hope he's in it, he wasn't in the trailer from what I saw

[twilit dagger]

Halo infinite is the biggest launch in franchise history so thats wrong automatically

He definitely is

[south wraith]

didnt halo 3 reach 1 million players at one time

[kind hull]

He thinks halo hasn’t grown since 3

[uncut slate]

One of his arguments was literally, the show wants to make money lol

[heady halo]

This argument is confusing me actually

[uncut slate]

Lol fr

[heady halo]

Who’s trolling?

[night void]

don't all?

[uncut slate]

Poison

[uncut slate]

Literally lol

[kind hull]

That’s literally the point of a tv show

[south wraith]

it you want to take me out of context then i just wont listen to anything you say anymore

[twilit dagger]

Yeah it did and how does that prove that halo hasnt grown since halo 3 lmao

[uncut slate]

Exactly 😂

[median mural]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[twilit dagger]

343 literally said infinite was the biggest launch for the franchise they cant lie

[uncut slate]

The context was literally, the show was made to make money

^

[kind hull]

And there’s statistics of sales and online activity to back it up

[south wraith]

i quite literally said its only made for money

[uncut slate]

prove it 💀

[south wraith]

even og halo had passion behind it

[rugged peak]

gonna say it, everyone complaining about chiefs voice makes no sense

its a younger chief

[uncut slate]

Who would’ve thought a show is made for money

Wow

[heady halo]

Doesn’t every show on this whole planet make money?

[uncut slate]

Great work

[heady halo]

And movies?

[rugged peak]

look at halsey, she still has her original blonde hair

[heady halo]

AND GAMES?!

[south wraith]

good god are you unable to read what i said

[uncut slate]

Lmao

[south wraith]

"only"

[rugged peak]

so him not sounding like Game Chief is normal

[kind hull]

I never said it was bad. I just said it’s gonna take some getting used to

[south wraith]

its right there

[tawdry kestrel]

I mean having Chief as the protag isn't inherently bad imo.

It's just what they decide to do with him as the protag I'm concerned about. The whole touching forerunner object thing gave me Prothean beacon vibes and I don't need him becoming Shepard.

[uncut slate]

Dude everybody is reading what you’ve said 💀

[south wraith]

then why arent you understanding

[rugged peak]

oh i wasnt talking to you

just in general

[kind hull]

Ah

[south wraith]

it was "ONLY" made for money

[rugged peak]

nah

[night void]

like all shows

[uncut slate]

Clearly you’re not making your point in the best way then

[pine pine]

I don’t think Chief sounds bad but it’s a bit weird to hear a voice that isn’t his iconic voice

[rugged peak]

theres definitely passionate people

[uncut slate]

You don’t know that

[kind hull]

Because you’re making baseless arguments lol

[uncut slate]

“Prove it”

[fading flint]

If the show turned out bad with fans not liking it it wouldn't be making money

[rugged peak]

just look at the armor

[south wraith]

no? there are many shows made for people to enjoy and make money

[rugged peak]

thats the work of a passionate person

not some money grabber

[pine pine]

The armor looks awesome

[rugged peak]

hell yeah brother

[uncut slate]

How can you prove this show is only made for money

[kind hull]

The armor and the elites look amazing

[uncut slate]

You can’t

[south wraith]

god its only prove this prove that

[uncut slate]

Yeah h like it

[south wraith]

there are things called assumptions

[uncut slate]

Your were literally doing that earlier man

[night void]

it looks good for live action

[south wraith]

humans have made them for centuries

[fading flint]

If the show is made for money they should be making it good to milk it as long as possible, not 1 season money grab

[south wraith]

i said it because someone else said it

[kind hull]

I’m laughing so hard rn

This is gold

[uncut slate]

This is a troll right 😂

[heady halo]

“Centuries”

[uncut slate]

The logic is so circular

[rugged peak]

so uh

[toxic warren]

I think we can move on from this now

[rugged peak]

cortana looks different

[tawdry kestrel]

I'm still fresh from how bad Bebop's 'adaptation' was so that might be souring my take on it a bit.

[verbal fox]

In #faq-and-glossary
Is it supposed to be Unified Earth Government (as it is in lore) or did they purposely change it to United.

[sturdy saddle]

they put the maschter cief in teh siries

[rugged peak]

i vibe with it tho

[kind hull]

There is no logic to begin with 💀

[rain sorrel]

Looks more like Halsey

[heady halo]

Unless the troll stops than maybe we can move on

[bronze wharf]

Don’t you put that evil on this series 😂

[kind hull]

I hope it doesn’t end up like that

[night void]

i think it was always united

[verbal fox]

https://www.halopedia.org/Unified_Earth_Government

[uncut slate]

Noooooo don’t put the main character in a series

[rugged peak]

in a good way yeah

[night void]

guess not

[bronze wharf]

Noooooo!!!

[kind hull]

nooooo put ODSTs in there that’s so much more creative than putting the main protagonist and face of Halo in the Halo series

[fading flint]

I don't like how the marines look in the TV show

[heady halo]

Tehy puht teh Arbinter in teh seris

[fading flint]

They look like halo, but they could've done h3 or reach marines

[uncut slate]

Noooo let’s make a show about a side character before establishing a main story in this alternate universe

[tawdry kestrel]

I'm just hoping it isn't mostly UNSC figureheads discussing morals in grey cgi rooms with brief spurts of cgi heavy action that isn't coreographed very well because they didn't have time to train up the actors
Y'know, things that often happen in TV

[uncut slate]

Like damn he had to be trolling

[kind hull]

Omg sooooo good that’ll make more money

[heady halo]

Agreed

[sturdy saddle]

Yea CUZ THATS SMART

[uncut slate]

Yeah they do look odd

[bronze wharf]

Can’t imagine people really be asking for Rogue One when they could have actual jedi protagonists to fight the sith

[tawdry kestrel]

The Pelican designs look good, so there's that.

[heady halo]

And the Phantom

Like that design

[rugged peak]

anyone got screenshots of all this stuff

[fading flint]

Yeah

[rugged peak]

like a frame-by-frame

[fading flint]

I can't post pics here though

[uncut slate]

Marine armour doesn’t seem to translate the best into live action in general

[rugged peak]

got an imgur album or something?

[fading flint]

Nope

[rugged peak]

cosplayers are great at it

[rain sorrel]

The jackels have swords now

[rugged peak]

i vibe with it

[twilit dagger]

Hey guys the elites look coo-WHY IS CORTANA NOT BLUE

But master chief looks so cool aswe-cortana isnt blue

Look at how cool the spartans locations vfx and fights loo- cortana isnt blue

[fading flint]

The forwards unto dawn miniseries made a good looking marine armor set

[uncut slate]

I honestly haven’t really looked at much halo cosplay

[tawdry kestrel]

Which is wild since they were based on Starship Troopers and the Colonial Marines from Aliens.

[rugged peak]

cortana isnt blue and honestly i vibe with it

[fast ibex]

Cortana just looks wrong

[uncut slate]

True actually
