You think they'll learn their lesson after Halo's failure?
>>201749280No.
>>201749280What lesson are you talking about?
>>201749373>“We didn’t look at the game,” says Season 1 showrunner Steven Kane (“The Last Ship”). “We didn’t talk about the game. We talked about the characters and the world. So I never felt limited by it being a game.”
>>201749417>Similar to how Marvel Studios pulls from thousands of Marvel comics to create the distinct Marvel Cinematic Universe, the “Halo” TV series exists in what 343 is calling “the Silver Timeline.”This was not a Halo adaptation. It was Paramount+ trying to make their own Mandalorian.
>>201749417Not sure why even bother to use 'Halo'. Can't they just create something new?
>>201749280>cast the wimpiest possible women>think giving them a butch haircut makes them pass as a strong characterKek, no wonder these people believe in troonism
>>201749280Of course not
>>201749280Nigger you think they're not aware that the shows they make are shitty? They're doing it on purpose.
>>201749641but why
>>201749280How many atrocious video game adaptations failed years before Halo was even in pre-production?Did they learn their lesson by then?
>>201749539>Not sure why even bother to use 'Halo'. Can't they just create something new?the production of media is controlled by corporate executives who only think in terms of numbers. The word "Halo" has a dollar value associated with it and that branding increases the value of the product, not just in the traditional sense but also in the sense that Halo is a "get" for the streaming platform that owns it. >>201749641>They're doing it on purpose.No, they aren't - the goals of a production studio in 2024 are so vacuous that Halo could well be considered a success behind the scenes. If a show costs 100 million dollars to make, that just means that some professional Zoom-meeting attenders just need to make it seem like it generated 150 million dollars in value for the studio's product line.
>>201749280>their lessonYou mean "We pandered way too much to the chud gaming audience"? Because that's that they'll learn from it.
>>201749882I get that 'Halo' brand gets immediate attention and guarantees an initial traction, but if you aim to totally change the plot, characters and lore...Wouldn't you be aware fans would hate that at some point? While I get those people love money and at first could look like a win in the short term, I refuse to believe these people's idea of business is burning Franchises to the ground for the sole purpose of a quick cash grab.
>>201750010In what way did this >>201749417 pander to gamers, troon?
>>201750161there are plenty of IPs to plunder, and when you run out, you can just start over. We'll get another Halo show in 2030if 100,000 people watch 1 season of a show and then get pissed off and leave, that's ten times better than 10,000 people sticking around for 10 seasons of a show
>>201749417Didn't the John's actor said he loved Halo and how different it was from the show when he played for the first time?
>>201749680Hitman and Max Payne were both very faithful to the games, and both decent movies, but both failed at the box office.Tomb Raider falls into the same category, but did a little better money wise, probably helped by Angie.The problem with Halo is that it's not popular enough anymore to warrant a expensive TV show, and the money needs to be spent for it not to look like shit.A litehearted comedy series of Fortnite set on an island of diverse locations with cartoony characters mixed with cross-premotioned characters competing in a battle royal would not only be much, much more popular, but also cheaper to make.
>>201750166It didn't at all, but they will think that they pandered to gamers too much, and that why it failed.
>>201751005>Hitman and Max Payne were both very faithful to the gamesWere they though? I don't remember them being faithful, aside from namedropping random stuff. At the very least I'm 100% sure Hitman (with Olyphant) did not follow the game's story and made up its own.
>>201749539>Can't they just create something new?
>>201749539No, the jews who run entertainment buy the rights to an adaptation and then hand it off to some fags who are angry that their original idea was never accepted, so they just shove in all those ideas into the IP project regardless of how well it fits in. Then it ruins the show and the fans hate it but if it reinforces the narrative then the studio loves it.
