I have very few words for the epic 'shocks' and 'twists' that this SPECTACULAR AMAZING FRIVOLOUS TRULY INGENIOUS FASCINATING episode of johnathon circle the television show delivered
Johnathon is short for Johanovictennthon (idk i don't watch the show)
Can you PLEASE tell me , for the love of got please tell me these shows are not something they are considered to be cannon
Is there a lore reason why Jimmy Rings doesn’t call Noble 6 for help? Is he stupid?
@@josiahbecker3703 no Apparently it's a silver timeline separated from the main timeline. That what there saying 🤷♂️
@HiddenXperia im just going to call it because keys died before reaching alpha halo🤦♂️ i think Miranda Keys will probably die when the flood is introduced but it would be crazy if they bring in the mission where marines first encounter the flood but who knows🤔
Keyes handing the script to Chief "I don't keep it canon, son. You'll have to make sense of it as you go"
This comment should have way more likes😂😂😂
You have my like, and my axe.
@@cosmictreason2242 And my bow
@@25thHourDay 3 companions…
Sums up this series perfectly. It’s deviating BIG time from the canon. No keyes on halo, “blue team” is getting killed during the fall of reach, Spartans are just buff marines in this fight, seemingly no thel Vadam, command barely even TRIED to hold Reach, and now Makee is alive. Even the elites and jackals look a little weird. For every positive in this series, there’s two negatives.
I hate this thing in Hollywood where these screenwriters are so up their own ass, that they think they can do better than what has already been written and established. Its so narcissistic and egotistical.
dead on mate, that sounds exactly like whats going on tbh
I know right and those fuckers had to balls to demand MORE money to ruin what we love, cant wait to see them all replaced by AI
Out of the millions of fans who grew up enjoying halo, the only ones making the TV show are the few who did not ever give a shit enough to even play the games, read the books, or watch anything on it. Just take an image, half an explanation, and write their own "legacy"
yeah.. that's not why they do it.
But did you still watch? If you did, stop complaining cause you're supporting trash and therefore deserve to feel as you do.
What's crazy is all they have to do to make millions of dollars with this show is just have Spartans in armor smoking aliens, and they fail to do it.
As fans we ask for so little and yet they still refuse to provide 🙄
exactly. i calm, cool, collected Chief just running around absolutely man handling the Covenant, some cool CGI scenes of him doing parkour bomb deliveries in space.... The content is literally provided for them. and they are actively avoiding it. its crazy
@@MrPuddinJones "but we have to needlessly pad run time and have artificial drama and a bunch of nowhere plot points and make the main character as "relatable" as possible"
:The producers probably
Administrative Results? Here? Hell yeah!
I disagree with that though, if they did a live action retelling of the old Halo books they'd really have something.
If it was just Spartans smoking aliens it'd get bland and formulaic real quick, just like The Mandalorian.
Crazy to see admin here but he’s right. The bar is so low and yet they still can’t reach it
The entire show feels like it does not like HALO, but was forced to use the HALO francise.
More like they knew this swill wouldn't sell without a big name IP like Halo attached to it.
I agree, It's like they chose their own story line, f*** the lore and just NOT used everything that made Halo iconic.
Absolute true, they have such a great lore, the had to change just a little bit for a TV series, but what did they ? They have to tell their own senseless Story, and change almost everything important in a bad way.
The armors being gone is 100% so they can cut on VFX costs lmaooo
Without a doubt
But money was already spent on the suits regardless so that doesn't make sense.
@@drakkonahn8544a lot of the action for the Mjolnir is cgi.
Literally my first thought. Which would makes sense cause I can't think of any other reason why would they get rid of their armor out of no where.
They did cut the shows budget in half compared to the first season. So I can’t blame the show runner right now because for how hindered he is he’s doing really good.
They have the perfect opportunity to get Nathan Fillion to do a Buck cameo this season and I just KNOW they didn't think about it.
Yeah...
He's probably too busy with other projects like The Rookie
Bro nathan Fillion is amazing… i wish he was in more media
Could have just gotten him to voice act a couple lines, whilst someone else wears the ODST armour. They've done it in the Mandalorian.
When Keyes said gunny I got excited for half a second and was like wait is it gonna be Buck/Nathan Fillion, but I clearly should’ve known better lol
"Yall remembered to grab Cortana, right..?"
- Ackerson, prolly
Haha true
"Kai I thought we were to grab all available assets why didn't you get the A.I?"
Conclusion: This isn't Halo. This is wildly expensive fan fiction based loosely on the Halo series.
Agreed!!!!
Agreed.
Fan fiction is something created for fans, be good or bad. This turd is made for people who hate Halo and themselves.
"Your inability to safeguard Halo was a collosal failure."-US
"I will continue my campaign against the humans."-Paramount
"No, You will not"-US again
Does that mean we get to torture and brand the Paramount people
"Your ignorance had already destroyed one the scared seasons, demon, it shall not happen again" - arbiter
I thought you were talking about the USA for a sec, and I was very confused.
@@jeremiahsagers135 I’m right there with you buddy😂🇺🇸
Same goes for Microsoft and 343
My favourite detail is how the Covenant has infantry forces called "Elites" and "Grunts", yet the Grunts are much rarer to see than the Elites.
Just made a similar comment. There should be way more Grunts
They don't have the budget for Grunts
@@Lordoftheringwraithsthey don’t have the budget to do anything halo lmao
@@Lordoftheringwraiths
They're spending like $10M per episode, I think that's more than enough. Forward Unto Dawn had a smaller budget than a single episode of this show...
Unless you hire people with nanism that could play the grunts, but the social justice people working on this show would find offensive to give them a role because of their size
“Hey Akerson, do you think we should grab Cortana the super advanced AI that can beat the covenant?”
“No, but grab those spartan armors will ya. We’d hate for Master Chief to look like Master Chief.”
lmao this so true how illogical
FR! Ackerson pisses me off, I swear, give him to the covenant and be done with him.
absolutely braindead
I'm pretty sure he hates Cortana and the Spartan program lol. Hell, I don't think anyone knows how important Cortana really is except Halsey and Keyes.
@@christhecrisp9869Bruh he USED Cortana for simulations. He’d know how powerful of a tool she is since he trusted her data and acted on it 😂
Not having 117 in his armor for the entire fall of Reach will be like peeing on Sgt Johnson's grave
guarantee he wears an old set of mark 5 from halseys facility
The SHEAR AUDACITY they had to kill off Vannak. Dude was the ONLY good character and they kill him off like this. Now I'm not even gonna give this show a chance.
@@reverbtheraptor8529You shouldn’t have given the show a chance in the first place.
@@thelouster5815 Your right. I mean it because the S2 trailer looked promising but of course, it's still utter Brute piss.
@@lachlanaugello6548 I mean they have to do something unless they are going to go off course entirely, since chief is meant to end up on the pillar of autumn for halo CE, but I haven't watched any of the show so I don't know how close or not they are sticking to it.
The show will flipflop between some of the coolest Halo related media ever made and the worse bastardisation of Halo canon I've ever seen. Every episode gives me whiplash
I've said it a few times now but this show is narrative-whiplash at its absolute finest
They follow the Halo universe, not the games. Theres more than just the Human Covenant war in Halo bro
@@HiddenXperiakwan and the cult shit is in the next episode 🤦🤦♂️
@@crypticbait I'm aware, but keen viewers of the show will notice that it's currently taking place during the Human Covenant war (I have no idea what point you're trying to make here?)
This might be the first show in awhile I go from loving one moment to wondering am I even watching the right show
killing off Keyes just proves the black guy dies prematurely trope is stronger than plot armor
2 main black characters died in this episode, 2 LGBT characters and 1 character with disabilities. Anti WOKE episode 😂
@@borisnikator7060Duuuude, srsly? 😂
Two black characters BTW.
What’s ironic, is that video game core canon Halo’s Jacob Keyes is actually white. ROFL!
@@borisnikator7060killing off the LGBT characters doesn’t make this show any less _gay_
me when my jackal buddies and I stare at a high value target and do nothing for 5 minutes
I love how they already know fans don't like Chief without his helmet, so they double down and take him out of the suit completely.
surprised they didn't make him fight naked
@@ahn7a6oh dont you worry its coming
@@johnleeka3282 think they'll add master cheeks as an achievement?
Want to see Kai fight naked too.

Keyes - Dies in an explosion
3 episodes later
Keyes - With the power of shitty writing I survived like a badass to be killed by the flood !
you are the most optomistic person in the world if you think this show will even touch the flood. they have no idea the parasite exist, never played the games member?
@@jonnyvep5497VFX would also be very expensive and the writers would think the cosmic horror would unsettle “broader audiences”
@@jonnyvep5497: I wouldn't be surprised if they try to do something like The Walking Dead with the flood.
Sorry Gunns, Clasified.
@@hawkeye5955 I hope not
There are actually 4 major points in this episode that are insane. No mjlonir for the spartans, keyes is dead, mackee is alive, AND the Covenant captured Cortana. Halo CE starts by telling us how important Cortana is and why the Master Chief has to protect her at all costs. This isn't Halo, this is heresy
. . . .You're f-cking kidding me. . . . .they killed Keyes? Just throw the whole thing away what's the f-cking point? We waited over a decade for this sh-t?!?
And the worst thing is that it's done on purpose. They want to tell their own story so much that they feel like they have to destroy every important plot points from the games. They are literally blinded by their own arrogance, kinda like the Prophets of the Covenant. Ironic, isn't it ?
I’m certain cortana was left behind to be captured for a reason, it doesn’t make sense to take the armour but leave cortana and the writers are stupid but not that stupid, clearly a plan from ONI there.
@Deeznar to quote an eye patch wearing super spy. "I recognize the council has made a decision, but seeing as it's a stupid @$$ decision I've elected to ignore it." Unless that's straight up a fake Cortana, there's no excuse.
at least keys won't join the gravemind now
The Covenant definitely seems like they're on very short supply of ranged weapons in this timeline...
They are just prepared for the Flood, using humanity for practice
They just want to show the energy sword as often as possible because it’s one of the coolest weapons in halo
@@thesavagegummybear7341 It is one of the coolest, that we agree on. But it is also one of the rarest.
@@NolDragon yeah, it’s a weapon of standing, it doesn’t belong in the hands of every elite, trust me man I get it.
chief wielding the energy sword and immediately getting wrecked. The writers are purposely cucking us
In this timeline Keyes didn’t even make it to the events of the first instalment. What’s to bet the Flood aren’t even in it?
Of course Not.
Wtf??? You have to be fully regarded to have ever expected the flood to be in ANY Halo TV show
Flood is probably out of the gfx budget 😂
Theyll prolly just be in 1, maybe 2 episodes
Remember Reach… city…
Melina Best Wife
I mean Chief can only be in one place at a time. It’s just one episode and I doubt this is the entire battle of Reach.
@@captainuseless2120 I don't. I can definitely see these writers glossing over the fall of REACH in an episode or 2.
Okay this joke is so goddamn dumb, like the show kind of sucks , but naming it Reach City doesn't. In fact there is real and common historical precedent for it already.
New York City , the most relevant city on the planet exists in a State called New York. The State became named after the city. It would not at all be surprising if the same happened with the first settlement on Reach.
@@Connor8609It does suck. It’s a shit name. Tons of named cities in canon that could have been used. Why are you defending this?
Season 3: the new Captin of the Pillar of Autum is now Del Rio 💀
Real
You mean the receding hairline, divorced dentist looking dude
@@Guranga93 Thats the one! 🤣
Del Rio shoul becom ECHO 419
@Guranga93 LOOOOL dude that's exactly what he looks like.
This show feels like a book report where the kid just read the cliff notes and barely earned a C-. Every time they get something close to correct they almost immediately mess up a major plot point right after and crush my dreams of seeing a proper live-action adaptation of halo. At least the fight scenes are cool and they fixed the theme song.
Anyone else hate that almost every Covenant member wields an energy sword?
Yes. But you know. That's the budget. I mean they might as well give the Spartans lightsabers at this point.
@@robertquinlan8063that sound sick though
goes to show that The producers did not pay attention to the games at all and only went with the three most iconic weapons the assault rifle magnum pistol and the energy sword
*ahem* skirmishers is reach had small wrist swords for close combat encounters. They obviously decided to give them to the jackles too. DONT say anything else you actually know what you know what you are talking about.
@@evanb7876 the writers themselves stated that they did not play or look at the video games. They clearly don’t understand the Covenant well enough. Jackals never had energy swords and neither do all the Elites. In the games it actually meant something when you were fighting regular Elites and then came across an Elite with a sword. You knew you were dealing with one of a higher ranking and skill. I know plenty about Halo. Make sure you do your research
Here's the thing tho, if Master Chief isn't wearing his armor, it makes it quicker to get to the Master Cheeks scenes, because *that's* what the fans really want.
Fax my guy, I’d much rather see Chief clapping ass rather than fighting
Absolutely not keep that for the books
Dear Forward Unto Dawn and Nightfall,
I'm sorry for all the shit I ever, ever talked on you.
You may not have been the greatest, but you were Halo.
I can't believe I waited 23 years for This.
Sincerely, a Halo fan
No kidding, Forward Unto Dawn looks like a crown jewel of a show at this point.
@@SpeedyGamingstop watching the show and go play CE please. If a whole season didn’t give you a clue as to where the series is going then you’re missing the boat. Enjoy the cut scenes from the game.
@@Champ1up you know what, I think I will, enjoy your silver timeline deviation with terrible, awful plot.
Oof this resonates
@@SpeedyGamingI haven’t even made it through S1 E2 yet, and I’ve been saying the same thing!
"ONI pulled out with everything important INCLUDING the spartan armor because screw you. But they left the really important powerful A.I behind for the covenant for some reason because screw you again."
So that’s what Pablo was referring to when he said that if we wanted more john with helmet we’d be disappointed
The writers thought Halo canon was a mounted gun.
My eyes couldn’t have rolled harder when they revealed that the Spartan armor had been taken off Reach. Miss no opportunity to insult the fanbase, apparently.
not to mention it makes no sense, normal humans can't use it. If ackerson wanted to bring all the HVTs he should have brought the people that can USE the armor. Yeah yeah he has spartan 3s so I guess he could give it to them but wtf.
They removed the armor altogether??! What in the actual fuck??
I think Kai is probably still there and has the armor. We never actually saw her leave Reach with Ackerson.
But, this time it actually makes sense. Even if it’s convenient writing it still makes sense because it’s 100% something Ackerson would do in order to get rid of Spartan II’s for III’s(I know III’s should be introduced already but I’m alright with them not being here cause Noble team is absent)
@@matthewwelles8422it doesn’t make sense when all the fans have asked for is to see them in god damn fucking armour. If I wanna watch a human in normal ass clothes killing aliens I’d just watch fucking starwars. And they could have at least kept the tech suits on as you NEVER see a spartan in the games even a spartan 4 without their tech suit on. Just cause it “makes sense” doesn’t mean it’s a good idea in the slightest. If there was a constant threat of the covenant attacking reach why don’t they have their armour on at all times? So they are ready? Just like how police officers always have a sidearm in the small chance they have to actually use it. So really it doesn’t make sense as they literally aren’t even armed either at all while they are in the city. I was really hopefull for season 2 but unfortunately I ain’t even gonna bother wasting my life away watching the rest of the season. What a wonderful time to be a halo fan… it’s so fun to be constantly disappointed by everything that has the name “Halo”
Honestly, when I saw Keyes died, i was like "yep, this is a postmodern nightmare" lmao.
They've conveniently cut out the armour for the Spartans because it's much more expensive to film with the armor. It's much easier and cheaper to make shots that don't have the armour in them. I'm assuming we'll see a lot more of it as well. spartans with no armour I mean
Im pretty sure Makee is also just there to be an enemy that doesnt require expensive CGI to have on screen! despite being completely illogical to the the covenants ideology.
Is bewildered that Keyes died- conveniently forgets girl boss Miranda hasn’t shown up in this season yet… there’s your captain to get proto-graveminded
who is going to replace miranda then? she has a pretty major role in the games too and if she dies to early like her dad did, who will replace her?
@@totallyoriginaltboxtbh she was weakly characterized in the games and Johnson was present at every major decision she made except for chasing regrets ship and that's easy to swap another officer
@@cosmictreason2242if they did that then they don’t understand Halo
@@totallyoriginaltbox
Kwan lol
The Halo Reach game trailer where the nuke needs to be delivered to the enemy ship is a way better representation than Master Cheeks
Rip Tom
Keep hating. This episode beats any live action trailer.
@@Warpig9you trolling or something?
@@Warpig9🤡
No.
All we wanted was a series that followed the events in The Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund. All the writing and material is already there in the games and the expanded universe books. The show creators literally made it more difficult to make a Halo show for no reason other than their own ego - and the end result is all the worse for it. I wish the Halo movie directed by Neill Blomkamp was never cancelled, even if District 9 wouldn't have been made if we got what we should've had instead of this. -_-
In my mind, killing off Keyes means they don't expect to have a season 3.
I dunno, Makee got magically resurrected. They could do the same with Keyes. Or they'll make Miranda Keyes overtake the role and score some aribitrary DEI praise.
They his more than capable daughter to replace him "girl power/bait and switch"
@@Turbo.M777”somehow Captain Keyes returned”
This is another “woke” show movie etc
So, they're doubling down on removing Spartan helmets by removing all MJOLNIR armor entirely. We always knew the creators were daft, but this is taking tone-deaf to a whole new level
It’s a slow burn until chief is naked again
They don’t have the budget to film such elaborate combat scenes and also have the Spartans in armor. VFX are expensive. So they had to write the lack of suits into the script.
that killed it for me
@@delaseoul87 Unfortunately even it may be so, it is a bad decision. This is Halo the Spartans in combat always had their armor, especially at the beginning of the fall of reach. Not to addon alot of the fleet immediately abandoning the planet without with a fight, no the fall of reach was a hard drag military campaign to literally defend the planet. Huge numbers of UNSC fought their very best to do so. It was only nearing the end then higherups decided to leave the planet. If they didn't have the budget then they should not have even attempted to make this show in the first place. They have turn a military war science fiction into an inter human drama conspiracy series, Ridiculous this not Halo whatsoever.
haha then why do the show @@delaseoul87
Why tf would they be like, “ Oh umm Soo we’re gonna leave our most prized super soldier master chief(the guy who we invested a crap ton of money and resources to train and develop) and his squad to die on reach by not only abandoning them but by taking their COMBAT EXOSKELETON POWER ARMOR away so we can sing kum ba ya and live to fight another day after screwing up mankind’s best hope for survival”
I will never get used to hearing Reach City being used in a serious way.
1. Cpt Miranda Keyes to take the place of her dad, Adm Keyes. Calling it now.
2. Why would Ackerson take the Spartan armour but not Cortana??? Makes no sense to leave your greatest strategic asset.
3. Perez was a comms officer when we first met her. Now she can fly a ship somehow as if she was a pilot? Foehammer call tag is calling...
4. Soren is totally gonna be this universes Sgt Johnson. Got the same vibes.
5. Rizz will be the Noble 6 sacrifice at the end.
6. Kai will train Spartan III's (might explain why the spartan armours were taken for reverse engineering)
7. The sword master elite killing his subordinate for interfering with his noble duel was a great touch.
8. Vannack's death was stupid. One needler shard?! That's it? One shard never blows up in the games so why would it here? Smh.
So many good and bad decisions in this episode. If I knew nothing of the Halo universe I would probably be really enjoying it, but unfortunately...
That's what i said to one of ly friend. If you had knew about actual Halo you wouldn't have like it
in the books it does say that needler shard by themselves do cause a small explosion of sorts, its just when multiple combine that you get the large explosion, in ghost of onyx it says how one of the S3s had their side blown open by a couple shards, but that small detail doesn't save this show from being an absolute train wreck
Reverse engineer... Like apparently ONI only has 1 person working on things at a time and no one has clearance to see each other secrets in a place that spends millions to create those things. Real Halo Ackerson took over the program to make the Spartan 3s, he just knew how bad it was to get kids to become soldiers but he had access to all the information because he was assigned to replace Halsey. Here its like they are the two biggest factions and Halsey holds all the secrets.
Unless they left Cortana on purpose for a yet to be reveled reason
@@bigrick3267 the only reason I would imagine they'd let Cortana get captured is because of how advanced of an infiltration AI she is, if she got access into high charity during the war she could wreck absolute havoc but i doubt the show creators would go that route, they probably don't know the difference between high charity and the unyielding hierophant
The books literally describe how pale Chief is on Halo when he isnt in his armor because he practically lives in it. How do you get something so wrong my god.
Edit: since everyone seems to be missing the point here, I dont care what color he is what I am saying is Chief was almost never out of his armor so he was described as being "ghostly pale". The point I was making was not having him in his armor literally all the time, thats the mistake they made
Pale men aren't allowed here, unless they're villains.
He also has freckles in the books
@@jollygoodfellow3957 Bruh they just killed off the two black characters lol
Vannek was way too strong and badass. The Spartan wash out was too white. That's why they died. It's like they have some sort of Skynet AI writing the scripts 😂.
@@jollygoodfellow3957they killed of 2 black characters and chief is literally the main character. Somehow your still bothered…
I’ve made many mistakes in my life, cancelling my paramount subscription after the first halo episode was not one of them
yeah dodged a hail of bullets with that one huh.
Can't believe Jorge died for this
I agree with you on the WWZ movement, the Sangheili are supposed to be honorable and skilled warriors yet they frantically sprint towards their enemies with primarily melee weapons, Jackals are meant to be agile and precise yet are shown to have the same brute like zombie-ish movement, it makes it feel like they're fighting some kind of dumb horde rather than a technologically advanced army
I bet they replace Keyes with a strong independent woman that doesnt die on the Halo but saves Chief and destroys the Halo.
It will be miranda
So that's why we have Kwan Ha
Corporal Perez
Find the Halo, win the war.
@rim8014
Last season essentially established that she is the chosen one and is the key to everything ahahaha
they fumbled the moment they showed the spartans caught off guard by the covenant attack on reach. like didn't mfs litteraly enacted winter contingency and fought a super carrier before the main fleet warped into orbit?????
Why do you keep disappointing yourself with this show bro? Just stop watching it dood.
@@ezcoreg759just do what I do and watch it drunk and that way u can just enjoy a few halo looking things and ignore the terrible story 😂
I'm sure that when reading the first book, it said that the armour was like a second skin to Spartans and they are rarely take the armour off. I think I remember one 1 high ranking officer demanded the chief see him immediately but without his armour on, as a way to unsettle the spartin, but chief didn’t seem phased by this, but was only offended by there clear resentment of all Spartans in service.
I think people are missing the one true victory of this episode: not a single appearance by f*cking Quandale Dingle.
Just.... rip the Halo IP from 343 already okay?
Give the reins to ANYONE but them.
Pretty sure this isn’t a 343 thing.
@@T_M_E_8 343I is approving of the story as they go, though, even if they're not making it themselves.
@@MishraArtificer wow that’s incredibly bad in that case. Why would they allow this is beyond me.
When I saw Keys was going to blow himself up I literally said "that's it I'm done with this mess" and promptly started watching South Park
The part with how there were explosions in one part of the city and they went to another and everything was fine was actually quite believable. I have seen riots and revolutions in places and afew blocks away it is as if nothing is happening.
Yeah, I've seen a few riots tearing a section of town apart, and a few blocks away it's like nothings going on. It's the weirdest feeling...
No it wasn't because that's not halo
Yes and I've even seen people not reacting to artillery strikes, but that was after 5 years of constant war, not a sudden appearance of alien holocaust in the sky
You saw a riot. This an alien blitzkrieg with orbital artillery.
Except this is supposed to be a full fledged alien invasion. Why would that even remotely resemble a riot or revolution? The people making this show aren't even trying. And somehow they still get a free pass to get rich off this shit. It's disgusting.
"I wished they'd used the sound effects for the guns from the games" well you see, theres a very good chance these guys have never ever heard a BR, or a warthog chaingun or anything of the other guns from the games
It’s like watching a car wreck every single week. I hate watching it but I just can’t look away
So we have a Fall of Reach that has:
No Covenant glassing, just random explosions
All Spartans have no armor for some reason
Chief stopping every few feet for a dumb "Is he human or machine?" moment
The awkward "Women and men" line
Keyes dying before we even get to Alpha Halo
Nonsense drama no one cares about
Why this show is still on, if Halo Fans were smart, they would all unsub from where their viewing it. Send a message, they literally just murdered Halo infront of us all.
@@JJAB91 1, the fall of Reach is still ongoing. We can't rule out the glassing yet. 2, Keyes said "men and women" just before that line, so what's the problem?

Add Spartans emotions to never get right.
The elites do not look like proper elites. High Charity did not look like High Charity etc.
My Predictions:
1. Chief, Rizz and Sorren (now taking Vannick's place) will find old stored Mk V Armor, giving Chief his iconic CE appearance.
2. Makee will turn out to be a clone, not revived
3. Chief, Sorren, Rizz and Halsey will kill the arbiter and retrieve Cortana. Subsequently find a ship in a breaking yard that the UNSC has fixed up for an emergency takeoff called The Pillar of Autumn

Soren will probably fill Vanik's shoes.
My biggets issue is that the two first main characters to die, were black. It's an issue with hollywood that the first person to die, is always black.
We won’t know for sure until the end of the season, but I think the show writers are intending Ackerson to take Keyes place on Alpha Halo. I think this because it would be very poetic. Ackerson saw his father constantly forgetting things due to his dementia, and if Ackerson has the same death as Keyes, we will get a scene with him mentally fighting in vain against the proto gravemind to keep his memories. If we get a season 3, I hope happens.
Watch, they're gonna go "oh we got upgraded prototype suits for you 4 as replacements"-
And they give them the halo 4 style armor 💀
Nah, I think it will be an older Mark-V style armor. 343 brought back the classical armor sets in infinite for a reason lol
@@badman_iiixiii because they ran out of ideas so they decided to nostalgia bait us, the paramount producers don't have the minds to be able to do something even remotely sweet for the halo fans. halo 4 or 5 armor is coming for sure
What would be cool is if they find the mark 4 mjolnir from the first game stashed somewhere, and he uses that until after Alpha halo
100% agreed with you here. Episode 4 was so dumb. Biggest dumbest decision is no Spartan Mjolnir armors with Chief, Riz and Vennec. Who would 've survived the needle spike IF THEY HAD THEIR ARMOR ON! I really hated that they killed off one of the most charismatic Spartans in the show. Keyes death didn't make sense either, it should've been the Colonel.
Everyone complained about them taking his helmet off in season one. the producers respond by taking all of his armor off and making him bulletproof………………..
This show is like if you read the plot summary from Wikipedia to Hollywood fart sniffers who've never seen or played the games, told them to do ten lines of coke, and then had them write a tv show after.
Lmao perfect.
The Virgil sound effect for cuesing was top tier, lmao
Good thing Preston Cole's ain't alive anymore to learn that the Covenant got their hands on a human AI.
This show is like a war movie without military advisors.
I get the feeling that the screenwriters for this show only had HALO described to them by someone else, rather than actually researching it. And to be clear, I mean the entire screenwriting staff all just talked to a single person who was their only source of information. And said single person is an avid fanfiction writer who writes too many fics and accidentally gets lore mixed up because 90% of their stories are crossovers and fusion-fics.
Fact they actually bragged about having never played the games or read the books.
MASTER CHEEKS
Thats exactly what happened but I feel like the source group is being treated like a bunch of kids instead of gospel
Justice for Vannak! He was killed off not only because the showrunner is an idiot and chose that some of the most important and expensive assets of the UNSC should NOT have their armor, but also, the needler round he shot into the elite didn't explode immediately but waited for the elite to pull it out and stick it into him then decided to explode...sigh.
The amount of people praising this show in the Reddit discussions for each episode makes me feel ill
Reddit is nothing but an echo chamber for mouth breathing neckbeards. And don't even get me started on reddit mods... I recommend staying off that app.
Can’t believe you guys still have hope for this show 🤣
Guys don't be mad at halo show, I'm sure it is a typo and the name was going to be hola or something
The biggest kick in the face after everything the end of the episode says “based off of the halo games series”
I know people shit on games workshop for not letting people be creative with their content like fan made stuff,but I think this is why they do it so some idiots don’t completely change what they are about.
That's a good point
Please remember that the showrunners don't care about Halo. They feel "restricted" in their story telling hence Silver Timeline.
HiddenX, thank you for being the only Halo personality left on this platform who can see this shit for what it is, please don't forsake us
Since this is completely separate timeline of Halo, how far back did the separation occur? It had to be far before the Insurrection just due to the vast amount of changes.
The sad truth is this isn't Halo at all. This is barely even an alternate timeline. It's like they just put tags related to Halo in the description then just made whatever the hell they wanted.
@@dereklittle8100So basically the Witcher TV series
@@NinjaTyler LMAO 🎯
He isn't an Arbiter, he is just a Zealot, he has Gold armor.
That's assuming they care enough about the lore and worldbuilding of Halo to make Elites wear the armor and colors that correspond with their rank classifications. I doubt they even know what Zealot class means.
No he’s confirmed to be an arbiter. Var Gatanai
@@DanDanMan8840 at the time they did not say he was the Arbiter, but now that they have confirmed that, I stand corrected. But it sucks that they took away any chance of this Arbiter having a similar "the prophets are false and are leading my people a stray" moment the original Arbiter had because Makee just convinced him to betray his role as the Arbiter.
Waiting for Keyes to show back up out of nowhere like “I survived the explosion, but it made me albino” No explanation. Just that…😂
Agreed on the Halo sfx (and lack of music). Also the BR should be 3-shot burst. Coin-flipping dialogue was great because it follows the lore from the first Halo book The Fall of Reach
I notice that with the BR the way it sounded. Like, get the gun right with SFX and also the amount of shots fired was more than 36 before reloading.
@@tylortarantino3560 Good point. And towards the end Chief reloaded after firing like 5 shots from the Assault Rifle, though maybe he wanted a full mag
I’m ngl Perez sounded like she was looking for a kiss goodbye 😂 and this new version of Admiral Keyes reminds me of David Anderson from Mass Effect
This show is a prime example of how big studios treat video game adaptations nowadays. Change everything and use the source material as little as possible. It's all about the name and brand recognition as a marketing tool to bring viewers in.
This could be any generic sci fi action show.
Paramount exec: We need to cast a tall man to play a super soldier. Any ideas?
some guy: How about the Rapey Guard from Orange is the New Black? He's 6'3!
Paramount: Does he look like someone who would be a soldier?
Some guy: Not at all sir. But he's way cheaper to get.
Paramount: Perfect. Cast him immediately
The explosions in the beginning were the power generators powering the orbital defense mac cannons keeping the covenant from glassing the planet. They blow up enough, and the cannons can't shoot. It's in the dialouge you probably missed.
Screams in Mandalor: This is not the way
I have this bad feeling that they're going to get enough negative feedback that they're finally going to wreck on everything and just be like oh yeah it was all flash clones
Showing Chief and the other Spartans without armor during the entire episode was pretty bold. (unpopular opinion?)
It have the opportunity for the Spartans to be seen as the highly trained solders they are.
Q. What is a Spartan without their armor?
A. A highly trained solder, tactician and respected leader. Still deadly AF.
Admittedly, I hope the rest of the season doesn't turn into "Halo: The Search For Armor", but I believe this (no armor) to be a valid storytelling device.
As far as the 'slavish devotion to the game that many seem to be demanding?
Serial episodic storytelling is a different medium than games story-wise. If all you want is a series of epic battle scenes, you already have the game. Serial storytelling requires intersecting storylines that resonate with each other and drama regarding the characters involved.
I consider season 2 a vast improvement on the debut season. The show is certainly not without issues, but the 'serious' issues have to do with things other than lack of devotion to the source material.
I hate it but it makes sense that Ackerson took the armor. He WANTS the Spartan 2s to die because he hates them. He's preparing to roll out his S3s.
Yes , but leaving Cortana behind , an asset immeasurably more valuable than Mark VI is an unforgivable sin
I haven’t been keeping up, but basically to sum up, our biggest complaint for season 1 was chief taking his helmet off, and they thought it was a good idea to straight up remove it now?
I'm gonna guess that the 3 moments that has him cracking up with madness are
1. Akerson just casually leaving Cortona behind and the Covenant just strolling in and taking it (how did they know so much about Cortona, her location, that she was actually just left behind...)
2. Admiral (not CPT) Keyes just being killed off (thats one helluva timeline change for no real reason)
3. Akerson decided he didnt need the most powerful AI ever created but that Spartan armor? Yea hes going to need that! So he can put it on the Spartans that he doesnt have because he left them all to die on Reach... Like seriously, the armor isnt very useful without Spartans and they arent exactly making more Spartans without Halsey, who they also left behind to die on Reach...
Lets see if I'm right😊🍿
Ok I was 2 1/2 right! But I got that spoiler that S-III do exist in this universe🤦🏽♂I figured they didnt have any S-III's in this timeline for a number of reasons but I guess, according to this spoiler, they do🤷🏽♂
Can we just all agree that coming from the franchise with names like "Pillar of Autumn", "Spirit of Fire", and "Mendicant Bias", the name "Reach City" is... a little uninspired.
Also, I spat my drink at the "ma man's got 5 attack" joke. Thanks Xperia. 😂😂😂
My prediction on why ONI/Ackerson took the armor, and how it could be a great writing decision, is this:
In season 1, the armor that chief is wearing is stated in the show to be Mjolnir Mark VI (6). ONI, when ditching reach city, grabs the armor, because it’s the most advanced version, and probably wants to study it for his spartan III’s on earth.
Meanwhile, Halsey, back on reach, will need an armored spartan to retrieve Cortana, and she would presumably know where to find a suitable replacement in the depths of section 3, reach city, or wherever.
So, the prediction is that before chief fights the arbiter again, he’ll have to go and get the Mark V (5) armor before getting his A.I. BAE back, setting up his OG a halo 1 armor for season 3’s escapades on halo. If this is the case, it would be a great setup for him to get Mark VI (6) back when returning to earth after the events of halo.
I’m not implying the show had this thought out from season 1 (clearly), but it would be a great way to give halo fanboys a few “WTFFFF YESSSS OMG MarkV” moments in future episodes.
With how they nailed the armor design I’m really hoping we see Mk V now!!! That would be so dope!
In the promo for episode 5, kai is wearing the same old armor
"How it could be a great writing decision" I agree that sounds interesting if they had a half decent writer on this it could happen. But if you had to put money on it do you think any of the writers, cast , director, costume designer know what "OG" means? If you had to put money on it do you think half of the people working on this knows what a Halo does? Cause from the look of the Elites none of them know what an elite is... It looks like they were designed using the telephone game.
you are giving the writers credit as being good writers or knowing what a good plotline looks like...... they do not lol
It would be a nice twist, but I don’t think the writers really have any idea how the story goes outside Wikipedia and don’t really care to.
Them killing Keyes was them trying to make an emotional scene but realizing they do not have any buildup for that.
It’s such a lame decision, you don’t even feel bad or anything it just happens.
Hey I guess it reflects the series quality
Is this show even going to feature a Halo ring? I doubt it'll even have Flood at this point
What about Sargent Johnson lol?
@@GamingBoy0422 Soren is this universe's seargent Johnson, I'm calling it.
I think the Covenant will kill Chief and fire the rings
Oh boy I can't wait for a whole episode 5 dedicated to The Adventures of Kwan Ha In Space.
Love the MGS2 music you put in the vid. Great video too!!
I think the reason there were no covenant ships was because they sent the small strike force to sneak into reach and shut down the orbital defense grid. They touched on it at one point I think, saying they have to protect the power grid or whatever so the mac cannons don’t shut down
Next episode will likely be THE KAWN SHOW.
Can we pretend this was the last episode in the halo series. Wrap it up as the covenant won
My only hope with them taking the suit is that they put Chief in the Mark IV or Mark V. Chief being in Mark VI doesn't really make sense for when this is all meant to take please. I'm not 100% on the lore but I'm pretty sure he should be wearing Mark IV as he was in "The Fall Of Reach" book. Putting him in the Mark V would probably make more sense and be a better transition as this is what we see him first wear in Halo: Combat Evolved.
I get why they put him in the Mark VI for the show start as it's more recognizable but I think it would have been better for him to start off with an older armour and move up. It may have even given them a decent reason to show his face rather then "oh it's a Tuesday, better take the helmet off".
Hopefully they use him getting injured as a good reason why he should always keep his armour on when he isn't in a position to have easy access to it.
The speech was a nod to the 300 spartans who fought against the Persian Army in the battle of Thermopile.
It wasnt. The battleplan mentioned Thermopylae as it called for usage of the terrain to create a bottle neck to eliminate the superiority in numbers... that speech was just a good bit of speech writing that was well acted and has no connection to either the in show battleplan or the historical event... maybe if you get your history from 300 or its graphic novel then... ok sure maybe I guess.
At this point are we just expecting the flood to not exist in this series? I’m not getting my hopes up
