Bethesda fans already expect the worst story imaginable and no consistency whatsoever; so long as it's pretty and understandable to the even the dumbest of people they'll eat that shit up. It's a far lower bar to clear. Even then a lot of people hated the choices made.

Halo USED to have some actual competence and quality beyond "Wouldn't it be cool if-?" and people expected it to at least somewhat respect the source material. Also it was just a ugly, unfun and bad show. Fallout at least looked nice and like the (Bethesda) source material.

If you haven't noticed, 343 is obsessed with making their version of Halo. Ignore everything Bungie did and make the 343 version of Halo much better and superior. These idiots were sniffing their own thoughts and genuinely believed their stories (Halo 4, 5, Infinite, TV Show) were better than Bungie.
>>
>>683084257
I get this to some degree. Ignoring the totality of the canon is almost a given, it would be impossible to make something really good as a TV show for dumb normies if you have to work around "uhmm you can't have Keyes say xyz because in Halo 8's DLC secret audiolog it's revealed that he specifically claimed to have never said xyz"
Does not justify trashing the canon entirely, that's just jew egotism, same shit happened to Witcher
>>
>>683084257
I firmly believe the "Silver timeline" was a last-minute excuse by someone at Microsoft or someone when they watched a screening for the series and went "What the fuck are you doing? this isn't halo. You can't make this canon" and do 343 shat out the "i-its the silver timeline" excuse

Frankly every single individual thing that happened in season 1 was so completely and utterly off the mark of ANYTHING that happened in the games that it had to be a different timeline or people would've given them hell and a half. The Silver Timeline excuse at least lets people sanction it off into "who gives a fuck".

Entire show is proof that Hollywood and video games need to stay separate. They have no clue what makes Halo, Halo. The helmet stays fucking on. Any competent director that cares about Halo's story would've kicked Pablo's ass to the curb and replaced immediately. Not a single Halo fan cares that Pablo was Master Chief, so put the helmet on or get the fuck out.

You're a fucking piece of shit, dude. People are losing their jobs. People with families. People with children. People upon whom others depend to put clothes on their back and food on their table. Now they have no income. Many of them will have to take jobs that pay less which will impact their quality of life. They'll have to move across the country. They'll have to pull their kids out of school in the middle of the year.
And here you are on the asshole of the internet gloating about it. And why? Because they made a game you didn't like? Boo fucking hoo. As if that's such a fucking crime. It's not enough that you didn't support the game. You just had to trash it and convince others not to support it either.

You need to take a step back and reevaluate your life. Why do you take so much joy when others encounter misfortune? Do you feel better about yourself now? Does it make you feel good? Does your life finally have a purpose? Do you feel fulfilled?
I fucking hate you. I hate everything you represent. I hope you find yourself in the same situation someday. And I hope someone gloats about it on the internet. And others join in celebration. Just like you're doing right now. I'll be there when it happens. And I'll laugh my ass off at you.
Fuck you.
Just fuck you.

The punishment for putting a woman who is not hot in a military uniform should be strangulation with one of those big crank-turned garrotes.

The punishment for replacing a white character with a swarthoid should be to have one's fingers broken, and then to be thrown into a pit with six wild hogs and a flashbang.

The punishment for putting a faggot kiss or god help you a sex scene on screen should be burning.

The only exemptions to this would be if Mel Gibson or Gary Oldman personally sign off on the movie. They will be allowed to name successors to this editorial position upon their deaths, but if none is chosen we will default to whomever the ADL has posted the most negative articles about in the last 12 years.

But they still exists and you can still watch them.
The point I'm trying to make you is can still show off acting through movements. Halo gets an upper hand with Master Chief being able to speak normally, so line delivery is still part of acting to show off.

So am I the only one who actually kind of enjoyed this show?
I didn't like how much it changed from the games.
It had a lot of slow and boring parts.
Too many close up of faces during action scenes. What the fuck were they thinking. That's not interesting to look at.
A lot of characters are frankly weird. Inconsistent and not believable.
I think this show had a lot of the "throw-it-all-in" attitude. The writers had a lot of ideas that they thought were cool. And they'd rather have it all in than throw away ideas. But often the result is ridiculously inconsistent. Plot holes and sub-plots and all sorts of details that lead nowhere. It felt amateurish. And it just kept deviating from what people would expect an Halo TV show to be.
And yet the show was interesting and surprising at times.
I was looking forward to season 3.
And at the same time I hated what they did with Halo.
A lot of people are offended and say that the writers wanted to "make that show their own" and change things just to change things. I don't know if that's the case. It's hard to apply your creativity in a constrained way that matches existing canon, style, characters, etc. The whole "mindset" of the existing art. It's hard if you still want to make something original based on all of this. And they didn't do that very well. It doesn't feel like Halo.
It's disappointing that they didn't keep MC as pretty much fused to his suit. The guy's supposed to look like absolute shit. With all the medical operations and beatings he received and lack of sunlight and whatnot. Think how alienating that must be. They could have done something really cool with a character like that. But no, they just make him a generic big guy that's stoic and even gave him sex scenes. For fuck's sake. Maybe this was executive meddling. Maybe they chickened out. Who knows.
Cortana looked special in season 1. Eerie but pretty. Season 2 Cortana was beaten with the mid stick. She looks so boring. STUPID STUPID STUPID.

The acting talent of the West consists mainly of making le funny exaggerated faces to convey emotion. This is part of why they are often (but not always) so bad at voice acting, and why Toku shows just don't exist without lifting all the suit acting entirely from JP sources.

Really should have just made it Band of Brothers in space and had a platoon of Marines or some ODSTs with sprinkles of Chief throughout out used sparingly if they wanted to capture the human element of Halo better.

How does shit like this or Rings of Power or The Acolyte get several seasons when its:
>hated for simple things like bad writing, bad acting, lack of a coherent story, dialogue or action sequences and music
>to hardcore fans it shits on an IP they have invested in
>is made by people who explictly have gone on record to say they only got into this IP to anger as many people as possible then play victim and call people bigots when it doesnt go their way

At some point the people who want to make money realize that they only make money cause of the disposable income of normalfags and nerds right?

Halo is like getting shot in the stomach, compared to Fallout which is like getting shot in the leg. I dont think a single rational person wants to get shot in any area of their body but they were both horrible experiences and waterboarding a prisoner of war is more humane than subjecting someone to that.

That's when shows are cheap to do. For bizzare reasons shows only start paying the big numbers out to the cast and crew once shows are longrunning. Usually it's year 3-4 depending on what the union says and the contacts of the staff.
The advantages are: it makes it cheaper to take a risk and the building a core audience phase pays back all the years of work prior.
The disadvantages are: it makes writers draw out shows/jump the shark and obviously talent suffers periods of relative poverty.

I've never seen the Halo TV show, but I remember hearing that they turned the arbiter into a human woman and master chief fucks her while cortana sadly watches like a cuckquean

any truth to that?

At the very end of 4 which was earned and wasn't full bitch mode crying. Remember that Halo 1 immediately follows Fall Of Reach, Halo 2 is a few months after Halo 1 and Halo 3 is directly after Halo 2, with 4 likely feeling like a week or so after Halo 3 due to cryo.
4 is the only 343 I accept as canon since it wraps up the story and has THAT opening section for Midnight

Hollywood ego is one hell of a drug anon.

It's an opportunity because supposedly, it was a big IP from the looks of it which can make you famous. Because you don't play video games or stuff like that, you don't care for it deep down, but whatever.
Then the time comes when you have to do proper research to manage the adaptation and you're stumped, you didn't care for the original story whatsoever but God forbid you play the games or read the wikis. However, you have these cool ideas inside your head that you want to write about and put on screen. So you might as well put your ideas in, to hell with the original story.

Why would it being based on a game be limiting? Halo is a pretty versatile universe for stories. If anything, the retarded changes that the show makes to the story and universe make it *more* limited to specifically being about "Muh Chosen One" and a bunch of retarded melodrama.
>>683083671
It really is hilarious that they clearly think they know better and that their ideas are *so* amazing and obviously *so* much better than the dumb shooty game, only for their ideas to make for generic, predictable slop that's objectively worse than the source material. It feels almost too cartoonish to be real, yet here we are.

Halo is incompatible with modern hollywood. Its a straightforward story about a heroic white male character who saves mankind from an invading army of aliens, with a duty that he inherited by way of the Spartan program. There's a lot of things added to the story for texture and flavor(like the shady stuff UNSC does), but fundamentally everything about halo draws on traditional and universal (although decidedly masculine ) themes and drives, which is everything that modern writers hate. Although 343 already has been undermining the old lore since halo 4 so its no shock that a reboot would go even harder on destroying the story.

They really fumbled a big bag of cash. The story was already written and done. All they had to do for the script was combine some parts of the books with the games and you have the storyboard of the show.
>>
>>683125890
Because they're trying to pretend people whom could never believably succeed at a single action they are doing are actually super badasses to push the agenda
Just rewatched Pirates of the Caribbean 2 yesterday and I forgot just how great, if silly, the penultimate action sequence was with both the 3 man sword fight and the 2 idiots and girl against jones crew. How well choreographed it was for both the action and comedy, how great the score was, how every character motivation did played directly into how it functioned. It's fucking depressing how the best shit of the past decade is john wick slop that goes on for 10 minutes too long.

>>
>>683127402
I'm still speechless about that. All they had to do for the script was.
-Show some background story about humanity and insurrectionists.
-The Spartan II program.
-Contact Harvest.
-Some battles, glassing and skirmishes from the war.
-Then the story of Halo Reach to beyond and sprinkle some stuff in-between like First Strike or Ghost of Onyx.

Why is it so difficult for writers to stick the source material? I honestly don't get why this is such hard ask for production companies adapting video game franchises for TV/Films. You already have a setting, plot and characters from the videos. All they have to do is adapt it. Instead, they introduce OCs, alter the setting and deviate from the establish plot, as if somehow they're forced to do this, and that they must contribute and put their own spin to it, because somehow the original material that fans want to see isn't enough .

Just adapt the video games. It's really not that complicated, yet this happens all the time with Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat, Prince of Persia, etc.

Because they don't want to
These aren't fans that dream of making a great adaptation, or auteurs that see the potential in the source and want to give it an interesting spin, these aren't even consummate professionals given a job and seeking to do it to the best of their abilities, these are bottom of the barrel talentless hacks propped by nepotism, cronyism, affirmative action or a combination of all three, who lack any vision or gift to do anything, so like parasites they latch on to popular and recognizable names and trash it to turn it into their garbage stories that would never be greenlit om their own

You know that most classic media hate vidya through and through? Writers f.e. hate video game writing (some do for a good reason but that's besides the point) because they think it is childish or done by amateurs even when it's done by a professional writing team. They don't even think they can do better, they wholeheartedly know and believe they are somehow recreating and fixing it for adults and audience that doesn't consist of manchildren. This is the mentality behind practically every adaptation work ever and you wonder why it's botched up every time.

Witcher got popular because of the videogames so that's easy, most people do not bother with the books even if they are alright.
Wheel of Time is anomaly in my opinion, but it can also be explained with the sheer amount of pages you'd have to crawl through to make any sense of it, and that requires effort which popcorn showrunners lack. And like anon posted, here >>683130257 basically everyone want to leave their mark. Vidya adaptations are just an easy example where the shows creators actively hate the source material due to reasons mentioned.

The Halo show was a masterful program, objectively it was one of the tightest written shows of the 2020s so far. From its gripping storylines to its brilliant characters to the remarkable themes, this was a show that had it all. It was the central theme of the show - what is it to truly to be human, what do we lose in service to corporate military structures - that was its best quality.

It was an improvement on the childish games in every way and it's beyond disappointing to see a masterwork get canceled because of spurious online outrage driven by liars, propagandists, bigots, etc. I for one will be following future works of the writers behind this gem with great interest, such talent won't be left forgotten.

There's actually a whole ass system of layers that get involved which makes this quite literally an inevitability and the sole defining reason you should never in your fucking life ever want an adaptation of anything you enjoy ever again.

The first and foremost is copyright. Things like music, art, set design (yes, seriously), sound direction; all of that isn't as cut and dry owned by the parent holder as you think. Media adaptations are often worked on by multiple hundreds of people these days, with all manner of clusterfucky loops and pitfalls that can make using pre-existing anything a liability. Therefore, adaptations are pushed by the producers and the heads above them to ultimately be different and distinct enough that they can save as much money and legal headaches as possible. This is only one layer, but it's the most important and defining one. Yes, it's as retarded as it sounds and yes it never should have gotten to this level it did.

The other is that writers will often come to pitch an idea that's originally theirs completely, and at first they get signed on. They start with the scriptwriting, pre-production--everything before actually laying out cast and whatnot. Then some or more execs come in and want to cancel the whole fucking thing to make it a tax writeoff -unless- they turn it into a popular product that already exists. Ever wonder why 99% of adaptation writers have never touched a video game and seem so disdainful and spiteful to the source and its fans? That's why. This is painfully common. It's Hollywood's open secret to why most adaptation movies are god fucking awful, because they were something completely different up until having to suddenly pivot itself into wearing a franchise like a retarded fursuit.

It's all for failing upwards and profit through failure. All of it. Don't try to understand it, just let it all go and focus on better things while the retards squabble and screech in the manure.

Literally just dont give them your money and big corps will eventually fail over time. BlackRock cant even print infinite money anymore to save their own ass.

The funniest thing about the Halo show getting a season 2 is that every night there was new episode a random techie from the marketing department would try to make a thread here and larp about how so many people were excited about the new season. People stopped giving a shot about the show that no one in this entire thread knows the show actually introduced its own Arbiter(elite) who has an unexplained personal grudge with Master Cheeks and wants desperately to have a 1v1 with him the whole season. All the webms being posted here to make fun of the show are all from season 1 too. No one even cared enough about season 2 to riff on its dumb moments with webms.

Incredibly stupid. If a space elevator can't withstand a bullet, it can't withstand its own mass or the energy used to lift anyone.

A Halo TV/Streaming show would never be possible with the budget they got. A sci-fi action 2hr movie would cost 200 Million. This show at most got what 3 million per 1hr ep. This was never going to work even if they tried to be closer to the games story wise.

>>683082959
Can she even aim the rifle like that without a scope? The reason the AR has that bulge on the top is because all UNSC weapons' targeting systems are linked to the soldier's neural chip. She should have used the AR version with the iron sight at least.

Huh, didn’t know that. How do UNSC troopers aim? Do they have a HUD or is there some kind of crosshair appearing in their eyes?
>>
>>683149862
...until they ruined by showing his face all the time
Plus Filoni and Disney bullshit
>>
>>683112108
filoni, pascal begged multiple times to let him show his face, he even complained that they said no to drum up fan sympathy but the fans said your a mandolorian the helmet stays on.

People still recognized him from his voice, he got roles due to the mandalorian so obviously his face didn't fucking matter, yet he still managed to get to reveal it
>>

At this point I can't be bothered to care. If the modern generation wants to destroy themselves, go right ahead. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.
>>
>>683150085
Their chips are linked to the soldier's helmets and goggles, giving them a HUD-type vision. They can have crosshairs, identify friend or foe, compass, motion tracker, map, etc.

>>
>>683082959
the most annoying thing about this is the fact she did that with the assault rifle, which is purposefully designed to be linked to a HUD display so you can actually aim and shoot the fucking thing
it has no sights at all otherwise
that's why the UNSC have those little eyepieces

How does that improve their aim? Do they still have to make the movement of putting their weapon in front of their faces and aim like any normal weapon?

In a way, yes they still do the same motion, but because they have the crosshair, they can zoom in and out with a thought and don't need to focus a lot on the enemy because the crosshair is doing it for them.
>>
>>683151591

If you've ever played a lightgun arcade game, it's basically like that. Reticle on screen points wherever the gun is aimed, meaning the marines could effectively just hipfire all day long if desired.
Granted, i think the concept only really worked back in Halo CE, when every marine were all equipped with helmets that featured a green scouter on the right side.
>>
>>683149660
they totally could have done civvie pov of fall of harvest or reach with very limited cgi using models ripped straight from the game and literally not had master chief in it at all
there is a ton of interesting stuff in the halo universe that would have been adaptable but no they had to openly shit on it
>>
>>683151858
>>683151915
I played L.A Machine Guns, so I get the idea, and it indeed improves their aim. Man, I would kill for that gimmick.

Stop making questions Chud and consume the slop.

But seriously they need better security measures (or in this case better writers) because any kind of debris can destroy that space elevator if a bullet can cause all that damage

I hate to defend nu-wars, but it's hilarious how Mandalorian was out at the same time, and insanely popular while this guy tried to justify why he must show his big ugly nose up close in every scene.

Main actor for Madalorian also hates wearing the mask and made them let him take it off more and more.
>>
>>683136548
Isn't she strong because she does spells and not cause she arm wrestles dudes?
>>
>>683149862
The Mandalorian shit its pants with the mask two ways:

1: Having him show his face a few times before the final episode.

2: Having Pedro look exactly the fucking same as he always has instead of trying to modify his appearance a little to look more unique for the character.

Imagine how much more emotionally impactful the episode where he says goodbye to Grogu would've been if you did not see his face until he chose to show it at that point and did not resemble the actor everyone already knows.

Is this big nosed ugly retard implying his acting with the helmet off is anything above pure shit tier?

>>683155431
The two times it was shown was fine
The first time in s1 was important because it was simultaneously necessary for him to survive as well as being character growth for him by letting a dr*id heal him. I don't think this one scene diminishes the emotional impact of the goodbye baby yeed scene

>>683127442
I just rewatched the original PotC trilogy myself, funnily enough. They have their issues, but goddamn, even just from memory I can recall almost the entire final Kraken battle sequence from 2 and almost the entire maelstrom ship battle from 3 from start to finish, beat for beat. The blend of action and comedy with the best VFX possible at the time (that still puts a lot of modern shit to shame) is honestly super refreshing and fun to watch with how fucking boring and samey the action in most Hollywood movies is nowadays. It helps that the music in both sequences is fucking godlike, too.
