Who else loves the Fall of Reach happening offscreen while we go to some random planet!??!?!
just as the prophets intended
It’s so over…
Absolute cinema!
I give up on the halo TV show
Sounds about right when it comes to the halo tv show
Can't believe the fall of Reach, one of the most important important events in Halo history, was one episode long...
Then they make chief exiled from the UNSC. Whoever wrote the script needs to have salt poured on their eyes to replicate the garbage we have to Watch.
They've gotta shove aside the real story to make way for their propaganda.... As the money doesn't matter, what matters is the message...
Probably because of budget reasoning :D
In the book it was only like a single chapter so what do you expect
@@mariobadia4553 Does it seem show writers have even heard of the books?
“Suspension of disbelief” this show makes me want to suspend myself from my ceiling
Be careful, they hate the fans so that might be their goal. Just go read the books and play the games to recouperate.
Lmao
Dang
Fuck this show. Read the books and play reach.
1 step forward, 343 steps back
😂👏👏👏
This comment needs to be pinned 💀
Bravo, my friend. Bravo
👏👏👏
You get the best comment award 🥇
You definitely should have said 3 steps forward 43 steps back.
Im calling it now. Kai is going to train the spartan 3s, Master Cheeks is gonna start a rebellion against ONI, they send Kai with the 3s to fight Master Cheeks, only for Kai to be like "nah, thats my boy Master Cheeks" and joins him with all the 3s and they smash ONI. Also, Makee finds Halo, opens the containment facility and everyone but her and Arby dies only for Kwan to show up out of no where and be like "I'm the protector" and does some magic bullshit and they all escape. Then Cortana sends a message to Master Cheeks and says "Yo, we found Halo. Come through. Also, bring an army, theres so fucky shit going on here". Season 2 ends with Master Cheeks saying one thing while embracing Kai in his arms over the corpses of Parangosky and Ackerson; "Bet." Screen fades to black.
I'm from the future, you called it 😂
It’s exactly where you’d expect it to go, which means they’ll surely do something dumber and more nonsensical. Every time they set something up and you think, “oh nice, now they can actually do something halo-y,” they manage to tank it.
Unrelated but hey atleast youtube allowed you to post that. If I say any of the spicy words you did
CZcams will say "comment posted" but will actually delete it.
Hahaha yeah seems likely.
@@davidpando7970 me too...
Halo Reach: A month-long genocidal campaign with the Covenant fighting with the UNSC across the planet's surface, Noble Team planting a slipspace bomb on a supercarrier, and a system-wide campaign with an enormous space battle with the largest Covenant fleet seen at that point. Ending with the Covenant glassing the entire planet's surface.
Halo TV Show: A street corner getting blown up, one scorpion on a bridge and a couple of hallway shootouts in "Reach City".
It's like Stalingrad in Cod Vanguard
I thought it was a daylong invasion. Is it a month?
@@suprememugwump1405 TFoR fans and Halo: Reach fans are fighting about the timeline to this day.
"reach city" will always make me chuckle. they didnt even try to hide their lack of creativity. its impressively lazy
@@suprememugwump1405It lasted a month, however on August 30th, a massive Covenant fleet arrived and finished the planet off that day.
It grinds my gears when a series that has limitless story telling potential, completely tanks their narrative media.
Speaking of “grinding gears”, Gears of War is another franchise that’s been ruined by Microsoft pointing the most incompetent out of touch regards to head an ip they clearly do not understand.
@@shreksnow1918 EXACTLY. If these shows are meant to just be cash grabs. Do they not realize they would make MORE money if they made a quality TV show that OG fans of the games would love???
it's sad, just plain sad. It could have been ANYTHING and we get this.
It’s because they have no clue about telling good stories. They see it as a quick cash grab. Unfortunately thick and clueless people like these types of series. The fans always get pushed aside look at the Witcher the main character leaves cos they ain’t going with the lore. Rings of power failed with more or less the same reason. the only one nerdy thing people are hoping works is the Warhammer series
It's not about the money, it's about the message 🔥 all the men seem to be half wits and the women have some redeaming qualities acting like men... 😅
Reach (One of the last human strongholds): gets attacked.
Chief (The most dangerous man and humanities only hope): Yo Imma head out.
Also chief: But i have fellings... Hahahahahah lol, wtf is this show
@@helderfernandes2950 it’s not halo in any way
I mean in the fall of reach Master Chief was in space 90% of the time
a lot of feeling and emotion goin' on here
In the book that came even before the game he was 90% of the time in orbit or training and he was never told they were getting their ass kicked in space no matter what he did the planet was deemed to fall because he is just a man he can't go fight an entire fleet on his own
Reach was the crown jewel of the UNSC and they fought hard to the very last man to defend it. When Reach fell it sent a message to everyone saying humanity’s days were numbered. They seemed to completely forget that in this show. Man kind was on the back foot in the human-covenant war the whole time.
Exactly.
In the Fall of Reach book, everyone across the human controlled space made such a monumental deal of Keys single handedly defeating a Covenant fleet of four ships, which he sadly admits that he won because of a perfect combination of the Covenant’s arrogance, stupidity, complete ignorance of their own weapon systems, and blind luck on his part. He knows that he could have fought the same battle 99 more times, and been slaughtered 99 times.
It's a different timeline entirely. It's not following any of the books or games.
@morgannull4685so
It's absolute Junk.
@alliebinford9157 Doesn't mean it isn't absolute garbage. They have no idea what the story of the Human covenant war is like. There no tension. They made humans the bad guy, It takes away from the sacrifice of reach.
@@alliebinford9157so then none of the crap they’re shoveling out matters.
Watching you go from the optimism displayed yesterday in the Epitaph video to utter confusion and frustration with the TV show, in less than 24 hours, is a trip
WHIPLASH BABYYYYYYYYYYYYY
@@HiddenXperia Can you do a qna video for 600k Mr. Xperia? Please?
@@HiddenXperia I absolutely DIED at the Oblivion reference. Skooma side-quest while Mehrunes Dagon is decimating The White-Gold Tower. Keep being amazing, man.
My dad knows I’ve always loved halo, he’s watched the few live action things over the past with me and enjoyed it, he started this series without me and even he, who has never played the games, was like “wtf is this?”
Your dad's seems very smaart.
My dad was never interested in the games but I got him to watch the show with me. He was confused by some choices in the first season too, but really liked how the second season started. Now we’re both just disappointed again.
@@Notlordstark it cracked me up because he was excited we had something to watch together and before I had to break it to him I wasn’t interested he found out it made no sense and was all over the place. So neither of us had to struggle bus through it haha.
My dad told me he started watching it and I was like "dad pls dont watch that show." He watched it and said he kind of liked it... Understandable from someone's POV without playing the games or reading the books though. My dad just played Halo 1 with me in 2005, and he hasn't played any others.
Kwan Ha - "the last of the ha's" .... most accurate statement this shows ever made
glad i wasnt the only person that thought this when i heard that joke of a line.
the writers are beyond bad they cant even see it
Bro I burst out laughing when I heard that
At this point there’s a competition between halo and Star Wars as to who’s IP gets drug through the mud more….
At least star wars has a few good tv shows and games after disney bought it. The only good thing halo has after bungie left is halo wars.
*cries in star trek*
@@ginjaedgy49 waht is there to cry about? Star Trek is doing quite well these days. Picard was a bit of a mixed bag but. Strange New Worlds is good. Lower Decks is fun and even Prodigy was ok as what it was supposed to be. STD i didn't like but i know many that do.
@@ADMNtek Fans of classic Trek aren't eating that well. Strange New Worlds is good, but there are some episodes that are just abysmal, to a point that defies belief. Picard allegedly got good at the end, but Seasons 1-2 were trash fires. STD's acronym is a good reflection of the show. Lower Decks is one of the worst abominations to be churned out by modern-Trek in ages. Just the worst exemplification of everything wrong with modern lenses shining light on popular franchises.
You can add Lord of the Rings to that competition. Hopeful War of the Rohirrim will turn things around though.
How is ANYONE surprised by this? It was SO OBVIOUS that we’d get something like this because the people making the show do not care.
They are making it for the broader audience. Ehem* (china)
@@TcX594Nah man Chinese halo fans thought the TV show is shit too
I mean the first two episodes were promising. The first one especially. It was what a halo show should be.
Everyone celebrating episode 4 like it was the show was being reborn... the real ones knew episode 4 sucked and the season was about to tank
@@revolverocelot1380 I don’t know man personally I haven’t seen the show all the way through. I just started it cause I heard it was bad and wanted to see how bad and honestly the first episode doesn’t make sense to me like the fact that that is how ONI and the UNC operate doesn’t really make sense to me, I’m not saying master chief going AWOL makes sense either just a little bit more after he saw his childhood memories or whatever but if I’m being honest, he should’ve never been put in that situation to begin with. Why kill the girl on the ship? why not just execute her when she gets to base in fact, why are the Spartans even helping a rebel camp anyway that’s literally how this story starts. It’s not like they were fighting and then the covenant showed up. They showed up to literally help them and try and find survivors like come on bro you guys were literally made to kill humans before even knew aliens were a thing
Reading Nylund's Fall of Reach while watching this series is just heartbreaking.
They had every opportunity to salvage the show on Episode 3 but they decided to double down on their irrational timeline....
Personally, I feel like the show runners and writers just wanted to write their own story, and either wanted to use Halo for what amounts to clickbait or got handed Halo and just disregarded it entierly. It seems to happen a lot with adaptations like this... the people in charge want to do something that has their handprints all over it, but can't get the go ahead on a new IP because the execs are crying over their piles of money at the idea of a non-starter idea, so they recycle whatever they happen to have laying around.
100%. The only thing we can do is to stop watching dogshit like this, otherwise they won't get the message. How this show got a season 2 is beyond me.
Same thing as 343 did in the games. They all want to be unique but then why use an already existing and well established franchise? I you want to be unique make your own franchise from scratch
I mean it’s exactly that, they knew it was popular, and if they just created their own generic terrible scifi it would’ve got so little traction. It is literally a shit dump to use halo to boost themselves and nothing more, and yet what they don’t understand they created such a piece of shit, this will likely have a negative effect. But you can’t reason with this kind of stupid
They wanted to adapt MASS EFFECT.
@@acnash27season 2 got greenlit even before the premiere of season 1.
The silver timeline is so jaded that I've become numb and just watch it to see what happens next cause obviously these showrunners and writers are high asf.
I hope for your sake it's enjoyable, but it pains me to know that people pay money for this shit.
lmao same
@@ActuallyEskir so glad i'm not paying money for this shit
Stop! If numbers go down maybe they will fire their writers and get it on track.
I just watch it for the action scenes at this point
I can't believe a Dragon Ball-esque episode from Halo Legends (odd one out) gave more entertainment value than this TV series.
Dragon Ball + Halo Legends
That only means entertainment value²
Of course it worked
Odd One Out goes hard asf
Honestly I loved that one,I would kill to see more halo type stuff like,kinda goofy but heartfelt and dramatic when it needs to be
Hey man don't you dis my man 1337
Spartan 1337 would absolutely be disappointed with Jimmy Rings
I love the part where Misuta Chief says "Reach has fallen" and Reach just falls without any further mention or drama
I love that part where Cortana says its Falling Time, and they all just dont care
Master cheeks pretty officer 771 jimmy rings be like: its falling time' and then reaches all over the place with out his armor or clothes
That’s because we needed to save room so we could get an entire emotional episode about Spartan’s emotions 🙄
Seriously it’s so dumb! Emotional pellets and dumb emotional stuff should have been saved for a season 10. It’s just dumb this early on. Who cares if he’s gonna be a crybaby when he hasn’t even been a badass once. Also tired of makee saving him. Chief has already lost 2x to covenant. And made terrible battlefield decisions, etc. just seems like an incompetent private in boot camp… lame
@@carsonhunt4642 your just upset you're not a Pretty-Pretty Officer, unlike Jimmy
your just being Petty
Im calling it, Kwan Ha is somehow going to end up on Instillation 04 at end of season
Chief will, and if Kwan does then I don't see an issue with that.
They have made it a drama not an action adventure.
Keyes makes an incredible speech on how they will die fighting on reach and that cheif being there gives them hope
Cheif leaves 5 mins later
…….🤦🏼♂️
Yeah I'm guessing the troops morale took a severe nose dive when they learnt the Master chief was no longer fighting beside them and he wasn't even on the same planet as them anymore.
How did Soren get his suit back
in this universe... chief does not finish the fight...
@@cforchexdoesnt even start it
The part where quan says "This is sparta!" and kicks the brute chieftain into space, saving master chief, was truly iconic sent chills down my spine
I bet they don't even add the flood, and they end up ACTIVATING the ring against the covenant or something.
LMAO
Oh dear God no!
They spent their whole budget on the cgi for the glassing of reach and didn’t have enough money left over to rent the spartan armour
This title is filled with so much passion, PASSION, BURNING PASSION I tell you. I can feel it. This is what we all feel
Nah, this was a good episode, shut up you all, boomers
@@briamsito4171 hmmmm, I can smell the ragebait from a thousand kilometers away
@@briamsito4171Casual Joe just spoken.
I think we need to give up hope at this point. When ever we get something good they always twist it, making it bitter sweet. That's going to continue to happen. The writers can't be trusted the same way 343 can't.
nah even 343 can be trusted more
@@intercontinentalballisticben and that’s the disturbing part
@@def3ndr887 real
Well if you guys keep watching you might as well, they wont do anything until numbers drop, its all a numbers game, they dont care about us.
@@LittleRainGamesexactly bro
Don't watch it.

Mtfbwy;)
This is like king Arthur being sent away to polish armour while the sword was pulled out of the stone by a nameless knight that is never mentioned again.
That holographic ball was in Halo Wars, the Arbiter forces Prof. Anders to activate it because only humans can interact with Forerunner tech.
It was the arbiter.
@@rustedaxe2018 Well my memory is worse than I thought. Exact same cutscene with Prof. Anders kind of limp but in my head it was the Prophet.
My favorite part of the Halo series: they came out of the gate and said “yeah it’s not canon, it’s an alternate universe”
That was super considerate of them, because before it even aired, I was able to throw it out into my mental landfill with all the other bad adaptations that just were just wanting to swindle money out of its fanbase. That really enabled me to laugh at it from day one, rather than go through the stages of grief before being able to ridicule it
I hope Chief just wakes up from cryostatis on the Pillar of Autumn at the first mission of Halo CE and this was one really bad nightmare he had.
Then the show follows lore more accurately and we get an accurate halo CE season.
Somehow a better plot twist than anything we would see
I wouldn't be surprised if we don't even get the Pillar of Autumn in this cursed series
It'd be called Pillar of Forward Unto Infinity and Beyond
When they say monster is probably teasing the flood, since the covenant are treated like some kind of secondary villain, they say they are winning ,but they don't show the gravity of the situation so much so they feel like a minor inconvenience
With the abysmal writing, I was hoping to get a fake out with keys. Sigh… I was literally scrolling through my phone during the entire episode.
Kwan is going to become the gravemind
I literally have no words.... thats how they got Arbiter to betray the Covenant? fuck no thank you
Also are we not gonna mention that the arbiter became the arbiter only AFTER he failed to defend the first ring? Is this clown suppose to be the previous arbiter, 'cause he's not my thel
@@CrispedRanger96
Yea this show would rather spend 5 episodes dealing with Spartan emotional problems than do any actual world or story building.
Non halo fans have zero clue anything about the covenant , why is it just elites , until one moment jackals appear. And one random lone brute ? I’ve played the game and don’t remember brutes partnering with cov before hunters , woulda been cooler to see.
Anyways audience has no clue who the cov are, or why the arbiter is special. An episode dedicated to why he his with makee in first place would have been better than this 5th emotional dealings of reach episode we got.
This reminds me a lot of the Witcher tbh. Show had problems but audience made it clear how to improve. S2E1 starts out absolutely perfect… then bam, straight downhill every episode after.
Guess we can forgot about the Great Schism
@@wimvangelder I didn't even think of that..... Man....
@@CrispedRanger96 He's not Thel Vadam. Silver Timeline n stuff. I am curious as to how this Elite became Arbiter. That's what this show should cover, not filler on Aleria.
This show presents a conundrum to me. The writers seem to want to write new things that aren’t related to Halo lore. Cool. Go do that. Write new things, we need less reboots and more new things. Have them go do that. But hire writers that want to adapt the literally pre-written lore for things like this. A tweak or two is fine (see The Last of Us). This would be a win-win. We get faithfully adapted franchises with built-in fan bases being adapted, but also new things. But nope, we get whatever this “Halo” show is.
Because corporations hate fans, and they don't want to take risks nor accountability.
IF they went out and tried to create something of their own, some shitty B rated sci fi nobody would give them the time of day. The only reason people even acknowledge this show existing is because it has "Halo" as the title. Nothing more.
@@lolimadethisvid Indeed, why make something new and original when you can just rely on a franchise that already works? Shit's fucked.
Totally agree. To me, any screen with ‘Han’ I skip because it has absolutely no use to the main story. Everything with her is Filler and should be removed
Maybe if the show is so set on being progressive we could get a kwan and Perez scene 🎬 😮
The original story of Halsey getting the coordinates for Halo from the crashed Forerunner ship on Reach, that Noble Team gave their lives to get this information - and Cortana - safely to the _Pillar of Autumn,_ and the _Autumn_ then making a blind jump to Halo which just happened to be the turning point in the war for humanity in many ways is so much better, because it ties into a central theme of Halo: luck. It was just incredible luck that humanity even got to Halo in the first place.
I think if you go off the books Cortina devises the coordinates for halo from the relic Chief recovers from Sigma Octanus IV. Either way and either story leading to halo is more believable than this POS "alternate timeline"
when i first heard of a Halo movie/series i’ve always envisioned it as, imagine all of Halo’s iconic cutscenes but adapted to the silver screen, more fleshed out, with in-game battles being made into well choreographed action scenes. if done that way, universe building wouldn’t be problematic as we’d all find additional lore, star wars-esque characters an extension of the canon story.
Me too... Me too...
If i ever get my business really successful Im going to fund it myself. Same with metal gear solid.
I think they’re making Soren’s son a spartan 3. Makes sense he’s always wearing the helmet and playing with the toys of chief.
Bro them being blessed ones is going to make them immune to the flood MARK MY WORDS
It is wild to me that 343 had an executive hand in this and let it happen. As far as I’m concerned, there is zero respect for the foundation here. There should never have been a conversation about a separate timeline. I could go on and on, but as a classic lover of all things Halo, I will die on my hill of disgust for what Paramount’s series has done.
It is utterly heartbreaking.
I will die on that hill with you. It's baffles me that some fans are defending this trash.
@@jonathandeatherage1465 perspectives will always be different with stuff like this I guess.
Dave Filoni would've done it better, the man helped produce a show where only one dude voiced quite literally the largest cast of characters, all with the same voice, while at the same time making each one sound so unique and immediately recognizable. Give us a Halo TV show that follows the story of either an ODST or a squad of marines in which we see them take part in some of the most pivotal moments in Halo history while also giving us a fresh take on just how screwed humanity really was if not for the Master Chief.
Dave Filoni might have been great at one point but frankly he's fallen off with his more recent work. More over that's the work of D. Baker your giving credit to Filoni for lol
@@helljumper_212th7 Filoni is credited as the director the clone wars as a show, Baker was the VA responsible for bringing all the clones to life with his incredible work, Baker wasn’t even their first choice to voice the clones but Filoni insisted on having him due to his work in extensive animal and monster vocalizing, he even voiced the Gravemind in Halo 3 and Waddles from Gravity Falls which is quite funny when you think of it.
@@helljumper_212th7I think he struggles with live action and is probably better working with animation.
Riz suffered a grieeeevous woooound
There are so many moments in the shown where i think back to the Halsey line, “are you a spartan or a puppet”
The episode had me saying wtf twice which is a huge step up. I mean the worst one for me was Kwan magically using a shovel to dig in frozen dirt to bury the one guy. I can’t believe we will not see chief in the pillar of autumn. The very first time we ever see chief and the show doesn’t wanna do it
And not to mention I don’t think she ever met vannak 😂
Just finished watching the episode. Bruh.
The decisions are just so obviously made from a non-Halo knowledge base.
The interactions between the Arbiter and Makee were actually really good, if they're going with SIIIs then I wonder if we'll get dedicated Arbiter storylines!!!
As a Sangheili main, I can live with this.
100% the Kwan scene is setting up for the Flood, they need something equally mystical to set the tone perhaps.
She's definitely gotta be a blessed one or something even more specific to the Forerunners, possibly.
They could have made all 8 shows about the Fall of Reach with the cliffhanger being Chief and Cortana making it to the Pillar of Autumn, it getting breached by Covenant, and humans making it to Halo's surface. Season 3 would then be right in line with the video game.
This was definitely a filler episode that didn't need to be stretched out as long as it did. There were some good moments of this episode, but they could have summed it up in the first quarter of the episode, and then the rest of the episode have Chief go find the ONI and meet up with Kai, etc. Here's to hoping that the rest of the episodes show Chief getting suited up again in full armor and reuniting with Kai. I've seen enough of Chief without his armor.
Kia-125 will never match up to be Kurt-051. People liked Kurt, and his clairvoyance made him an important member of Blue Team. This Silver TL is "Bizarro World."
It's so sad... They had an established story and formula (one that is loved by at least two generations of gamers). And royaly, absolutely, fuck it up. Like looking at Halo and just being like "nahhhh".
They sure did I really wish they would get rid of Kwan and Makee. because they seriously don’t belong in the halo story I mean yeah there’s really nothing more. I could say that really annoys me the most.
I honestly couldnt recognize this episode as halo at all, it was just so bizarre to see what happened
what I found interesting was the arbiters interaction this episode.
The community needs to come together and make their own halo show that’s true to halo
I think the closest thing we have at the moment is HaloFollower's Noble Timeline series.
Or sodaz remember halo fanfilm on youtube
what would be the point of Chief staying on Reach? All signs point to be reach being DOOMed, there was no such in saving it. It was a lost cause.
They mention in the show that Chief was actually unconscious for about 2 days. So he wasn't sent off during the fall of Reach. He missed it entirely lmfao.
But dw, I'm sure they're going to the Halo ring justice, right?? Right?!?!?
kwan saying "come with me if you want to live" made me shed a tear
Kwan is 100% a Mary Sue self-insert character by some female writer with an eternal chip on her shoulder.
I sometimes forget when you say "regular timeline" you mean the bronze timeline
I was like "fuck u mean by Librarian chose humanity" then I was like right 343's lore
all the marines dying believing that master cheeks is out there fighting along with them after Jaycub Keys inspired them by using his name lol
Every time a new season of this show drops I just go back to rewatch Landfall and We are ODST. The real life action Halo
I can’t believe that this show actually happens like this. I mean it’s unbelievable. I couldn’t imagine actually working on this project. I just don’t think I could be a camera man or a worker. It is as if to work on this show you have to never have heard of the halo ip.
Stargate universe. Was saying the same thing. How do you go from Stargate the movie, to SG1 to Atlantis... and then you end up with a dumpster fire like Stargate Universe.. jesus it killed it off quick.
a tiny detail i didn't notice in episode 4 is that when the cloaked elites are attacking civilians you can hear in the background an alarm system saying something like "please head to the new alexandria police station" so I think they retconned "reach city"
Im glad you mentioned older school TV here. Shows like LOST were brilliant because they were able to include small, quiet character moments without derailing from the main story or the episode's plot. The small moments filled in the broad strokes of characterisation so we get to know the characters while feeling like we are peering through a window into who they are.
Couple of things I'm mulling over. Will give the built points.
- Shamans in the show = the librarian in the game
- Kia v Cheif showdown = Spartan Lock vs Cheif
- the Dr is a permanent clone of herself ( her age is bothering me and Rizz comments on it in this ep)
With episodes like this, I wonder if I should be envious or feel pity about those people not having played the games, and enjoy the show for what it is...
Why does it feel like Chief is becoming a McGuffin
Please remember that season 2 was greenlighted before season 1 aired, so far we didn’t get any info’s about season 3 confirmation.
I think this show will get cancelled after this one.
People are not happy with the show.
Btw Quan talks about shield worlds when she's digging vanaks grave she says something like "you can't build an entire planet, its too big, u feel me?" And in season 1 when she goes the the weird which people on magical u can see a monitor so she probably got told all about the halos, shield worlds etc
"You cant bury an entire planet"
Is the quote, its just more of her complaining about Madrigal
@@chromicm6686 ohh that makes sense, of course it about Madrigal🙄
This is why the creators used Halo to tell their story, because they knew that Halo fans would be gullible enough to go and watch it and suck it up and continue watching it, even if it was more horrible than feces at the dump. If the creators made their own show, us Halo fans wouldn’t be watching it, but since it’s get the title “Halo” attached to it, they know we’ll all be dumb enough to check it out.
I know this probably isn't the case but I hope the monster that the shaman talks about is the flood and the shaman lady is the librarian in disguise and giving kwan visions like in halo 4 when the librarian took cortana for part of a level
It pretty obviously is The Flood.
My dad and sister are watching this with me and know absolutely nothing about Halo and they keep asking me what’s going on and I can’t help them lmao.
Probably because the show with title Halo on it is not a good show at and it’s plot makes no sense.
Sad that this show is what will be remembered about Halo outside of the amazing core story of the game trilogy.
each new episode just bewilders me in ways that I didn't think were possible.
I can't wait to see Onyx City!
I hate this made up Halo non Canon plot.
In the regular timeline, before 343 came along..
-Forerunners ARE humans! Granted a different version of humans.. Like an ancient ancestor to the human race as we are today, but still genetically just human. The human - forerunner war was always supposed to be just a "human vs another version of human war" and the version of humans that lost the war were put on earth and devolved to cavemen status, the humans that won , "forerunners" whipped themselves out from the flood.
Meaning any human can activate forerunner tech, because all forerunners were just another form of human.
Leave it to 343 and these other companies to fuck up something so simple to understand.
I hope they don't give Kai Kurt,s death, I don't need to be reminded that Gary Stu existed and took all the attention away from other Spartans like Will.
Another part is the arbiter is talking about how they failed their mission and are just coming back, but the whole point of the arbiter is either they succeed or die trying they don't fail
I know who the monsters in the cave are supposed to represent. It's not supposed to be the Flood or the Alliance, because of course the producers have watched a video and know that the Zerg are lurking inside Onyx, waiting to be freed by the MasterChief. True story
Quantity is the queen Chef, don't you realize by now. And John will only be cool when Cortana takes control again
Thanks for doing these you da man!!!
The show writers accidentally chose "easy" on series start because these covenant are absolutely not scary at all. they are worse than stormtroopers
With all the shamans and mystic nonsense it really seems like they (The writers) had their own story but needed to link it to the Halo I.P to it to get it made. And it was stupid to go back for Vannak honestly also I'm guessing Kai will now have her pellet re implanted as surely the new leader of the Spartan threes will have had a full medical. As for the Fall of Reach I guess it was just too expensive to film so easier to just leave to go to a frontier world.
The fall of reach is literally the equivalent of a near extinction event for humanity and yet the spartans are off doing side quests 💀
You are doing great work watching this so I don't have to
Oh also, way to completely disregard CPT Keys' final speech. "Oh look at John, his gonna fight and defend Reach without his armor!" Meanwhile John's thinking "fuck that I never cared for Keys or this planet, I'm gonna run away and find 1 kid"
isn't reach like the second most important planet for the humans 💀
They're not make Soren's son a spartan 3 are they? 💀
13:31 "I'VE TAKEN A GRIEEEEEEEEEEVOUS WOOOOOUUUUUND"
Makes em wonder if you even watched the episode - The events of the episode didn’t play out 4-5 hours after the fall of Reach, or while it was under siege… Halsey says master chief was out for couple days and that, “there was nobody to left to save”, implying the planet was already glassed. Then she puts him under another couple of days until they could find a play to put down with a hospital - not saying it’s great writing, and it kinda sucks that it all happened off screen, but there’s more there than you seeming upset about.
The best part of the Halo TV show is recommending new comers to read the books and play the games instead because watching the TV show is like suffering through being infected by a flood spore.
Bro, can't believe you haven't caught on yet: Kwan is just a silver timeline spartan-IV. I heard they don't even have to take a horse pill, they have chewable tablets for it!
Illaria was the Halo TV show's Canto Bight. Tell me I'm wrong.
I swear, this show is like if you asked AI to re-tell the story of halo
Ai would have done a better job tbh.
Quan is noble six. You were right!
Also why not make animated movies or shows. Don’t do books and forget the live action.
Thanks for the breakdown!
The final episode will be chief saying "i am the halo" then the covenant just gives up then peace in the galaxy
Reminds me of when the remade ghostbusters with an all female cast…
This show making me so sad. So much potential to make a great halo story and the writers decided go with this…
One thing I haven’t seen talked about is that Soren’s kid (orphaned) got taken by the UNSC (ONI) which will probably mean he’s gonna become a spartan 3. Which Soren clearly doesn’t want.
Sadly this somewhat interesting plot line is overshadowed by the dogshit of the main story.
@@Dabomb8008 Nah the show is good, but interesting pick up Soren's take up being taken for the Spartan 3 program where the HiddenXperia "the Lore Expert" didn't 😂.
Too much whining and crying about what WASN'T in the episode to talk about what was actually in it.
@@hoos3014show is dogshit. It’s not halo. It feels like a fever dream watching master chief crying
@@ashtonshepherd675 His whining and crying attracts crybaby followers. Thanks for confirming.
I never thought about the fact Cortana had the coordinates for halo when she arrived on pillar of autumn, then minutes(or hours) later “ we made a -blind jump- how did we- “ Cortana steers the convo to the covenant ships.. it would make sense her being a copy of Halsey that in the midst of everything, she would endanger everyone pursuing knowledge. Crazy!

Is it just me or does it look like that woman or man next to Sorren is cheeked up? Gyat damn...
I'm assuming that's Riz. I should really pay attention, but my mind tends to wander and go places for no good reason.
