[SNYC]

Soren out there living like the underground people in Demolition Man, Pawging & vaping galactic gas

Reth is a crackhead

The Marshall from The Man In The High Castle is back

The Bad Batch was useless this episode

Gratuitous white ass. Didn't know her real name is Charlie Murphy

Stop listening to these nikkas man.

The show is not on the same timeline as the games because the games have a singular focus which is you as the MC fighting the covenant.

This show is on the "silver team timeline". The Spartans minus John aren't even the original 200.

The point of this show is to show the combat BUT focus on the human aspect which is what all the books do. Yes the UNSC is this evil. Yes Halsey is a kidnapping psycho. That's what makes this rendition so dope.

There are mad books and comics that point to all this colony shyt. In the books the colonies fight the covenant head up. In the books the covenant team up with the colonies against other covenant.

This is actually the Halo universe. The games never depicted anything close to the real depth and complexity of the story. Mass effect is more Halo than Halo.

No one is saying the UNSC isn't evil, we're saying there's better ways to show it than this dumb shyt

My problem with the show is that its basically a cheap scifi fan fiction. It screams as its being someone that read the cliff notes of the books so they could throw out lore elements to appease halo fans, but would rather disposition us to death about the whys behind character actions then actually show them in a creative way.

I'm not asking it to follow the lore word from word, but when you turn Reth into a jackal trying to prove his loyalty to the covenant by forming an "alliance" with humans in Rubble to a cliche crazy survivor character the show just comes off as low effort, quick way to inevitably get to higher arching story line of the halo rings.

Edit: with the amount of lore in the Halo EU if they really wanted to actually tell their own story, they probably could've spent a lot more time on the war with the insurrectionist and actually explain why thats going on instead of saying, hey, "here's Chief, Cortana, Halsey and some Elites guys! this is totally halo right?"

but that is halo in term of the mainline game story for the fan base of the game series when they try to do something different from that like halo 5 the fan base freak out than they went right back to the old formula of master chief The one and only hero of mankind killing Covenant/the Banished with the help of cortana. .

Episode 2 had great world building

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Not sure how I feel about “Spartans with no helmets”


I wanted to overstay this show as a proud Xbox stan…..

But I’m close to going full heel


I don’t need to see this nicca face and he not that big of an actor to warrant that face screen time

Now MChief outside his gear?

@Rekkapryde @Gizmo_Duck and Nephew @Fatboi1

Can I see one of them pamphlets for SonySet?

 

[ORDER_66]

The only thing that they should have implemented was a strong five minute overview of everything that happened up til episode 1. Cause clearly it's not following the overall game arc right now.

I wish this was the gears of war series, people complaining at least y'all got a tv show to watch!!!

show is straight .

all the stories they could tell and they give us master chief meets a crackhead.

Mandalorian worked becuz each episode they gave him a quest showcasing his skills.

Really wanted to love this show but episode 2 was irreparable cheeks.

 

[Fletch]

I’m enjoying the show, I don’t know much of Halo lore outside games 1-4. Seems like episode 2 set up the road to the Chief that I know from the game.

 

[Dre Space Age]

First episode is free on YouTube. I liked it! Even though the plots different.

[datnigDASTARDLY]

This shyt annoys me that MS don’t make a Halo rpg



Episode 2 is great world building, and they hitting on a much more interesting aspect of Halo imo, the UNSC and how grimey they really are.
