    I blame 343 Frank O’Connor, Kiki Wolfkill and the upper management.
    The entire purpose of that company was to uphold the Halo franchise when the torch passed from Bungie to 343.
    Instead 343 wanted to differentiate themselves entirely from the existing franchise and change fundamental core pillars to the universe.
    First it was Franky retconning the Humans being forerunners to another species.
    Second it was Kiki thinking that Master Chief is an emotional hero that only had resilience and was pre destined/ planned by a higher being (the librarian/forerunners). Which she told the writers of Halo 4, Halo 5 and the TV show to do.
    Then it was the art style, the gameplay, the themes, story, covenant, character personalities, etc. The list grew and grew.
    Now we have a fan base divided with 343 fans and the original Halo fans.
    It’s such a mess. Halo is unfortunately not recognisable to the original Bungie vision that the majority fell in love with in the 2000’s. Those fans have now dwindled to the minority and have left the franchise for good.
    For anyone to now acknowledge the retcons on Reddit, Discord, will be downvoted and gaslit to hell by the new 343 fan base that are in denial of the Bungie universe. Regardless if it is a fact or not.
    The majority of people who watch/play Halo today only know the 343 universe. The good old days are gone. It’s not the same HALO.

    • @unclesamlore
      @unclesamlore  Před 3 měsíci

      I grew up halfway between both eras of halo, and I can safely say that both periods have their positives. I like the 343 expanded universe, I like the mythology surrounding it even if it differed from what was planned initially. I wouldn't have missed if this show just paid attention to the details.

    Akersons character was stupid. His plan was to replace the Spartan 2s (by killing them) with untrained idiots, in EVA capable suits. He did this because Dr. Halsey is a meanie head and put his sister through spartan training, which according to this show is getting beat up by adults... any way he punishes her by making clones of said sister and making her talk and die in front Dr. Halsey. Riveting... then after he "trains" his spartan 3s for their suicide mission to destroy an entire star system. He gets mad at Admiral Parangonski because she used the Spartan 3s for the purpose they were created.
    Oh yeah he sacrificed the people of Reach to as well. Can anyone that lives near a military base imagine not knowing that they left?

      He didn't have the Spartan 2s killed out of spite because there is a war we were losing.
      He deployed them to critical targets to show the covenants advance. He didn't sacrifice a planet.
      His motivations were to find the most expedient/ cheapest way to hinder the covenant. Not to get revenge on one person by killing millions and purposely surrendering humanity's greatest military power next to earth.

      They don't even know what thier talking about. The explosion wouldn't destroy a solar system according to what Ackerson says 'it will destroy everything in 1 million miles'. That is very very far from a solar system. But then the hologram shows it destroying the whole system.
      So which is it? A million miles, or 100's of billions of miles? If it is the solar system that's silly. Even if it traveled at the speed of light it would still take a couple months to reach the opposite edge.

And personally, I think the main plot of this whole franchise revolves mainly between Master Chief and Cortana. Now I'm actually frustrated because of the fact that Paramount did Halo's name dirty and just tossed pure disrespect on Halo with all of these Non-Canons, Irrelevant side plots and Characters who aren't supposed to even exist-like Makee! I mean how did she even survive????

    The issue with these adaptations is that the studios hire people WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY'RE DOING!
    They know nothing about the stories.
    They know nothing of the lore.
    They know nothing of the fans.
    And then, their ONLY response is that the fans are the ones who are clueless.
    GIVE US THE STORY OR LEAVE IT ALONE.
    Stop ruining good stories because they want to make an action video game into a fucking soap opera.

    It’s like they get the overarching idea but then say nah imma do something else. For example the entirety of the SIIIs in this abomination have the overarching concept of them. They even say and do obscure things that are really only in the books. Such as their war cry being “Spartans never die.” Or them actually being from Onyx. But then the rest is just BAD. There are so many problems with this thing. Like why does the flood show up now? I get they are not full on combat forms yet this is the start of an outbreak but why now? There was no context behind it at all it just shows up? All of the Spartans have 0 tactics and act like children. The SIIIs can’t even function as a team which was their entire point. They kill key characters off without any real reason or killing what made them cool in the games. Such as Captain Keys dying to the flood but fighting the proto-Gravemind to his last breath. Instead he dies in an explosion. Also why is the UNSC cartoonishly evil? I get they do shady things ONI gives the Inquisition from 40k a run for their money but seriously? Why are they more outwardly evil than the genocidal aliens? This show just takes the bullet points from the series and just says everything else is ours.

      My expectations weren't incorrect because I expected a halo series. Alternative timeline or not, every franchise has rules. I wouldn't mind changes, if they felt like they respected the source material. Even some things in the source material, are not good. It's not that I had misplaced expectations, it's that this series is a bad adaptation. Not resident evil bad, but some of the changes approach that territory. Thanks for watching!
