Magness Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 I’ll give it a chance but, that trailer didn’t get me excited so much as anxious that this will not be handled properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foogledricks Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Excited for the hinted-at controversial plotline surrounding grunt propaganda stations, who use the spotify platform exclusively, and Spotify also happens to sponsor the Spartan program… 20000 unit fines for each station destroyed… Magness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFo Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 15 hours ago, Romier S said: Cortana looks f’ing weird. She doesn’t look like Cortana. Here we have a character — one of the most iconic and beloved in all the franchise — with a distinct visual design that goes back over twenty years. And when Hollywood makes a live-action TV series based on the game, they decide to completely change that character’s look for no apparent reason? Man, that does give me much faith in the rest of the decisions made about the show. Also, I just watched the trailer again and… Phil Collins? Don’t get me wrong, I love me some “In the Air Tonight”, but maybe we could have borrowed from Marty O’Donnell instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 I'm not fussed about Cortana and I like that they knew it wasn't worth trying to get anyone other than Jen Taylor in for her voice. It's the Chief that's not doing it for me actually. The lack of grunts continues to make me wonder whether they'll only be seen in a very reduced capacity, or not at all, if the showrunners lack confidence in having that (admittedly weird) tonal imbalance that they bring to the games.

kelley Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 I'm going to give this a go, but the previews haven't overly sold me on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTello Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 I've enjoyed plenty of Halo multi-player, but the story mode has never captured me. Additionally the thought of video games turned into live-action always seem like a bad idea. With that said, I'm bucking the negative trend here and actually saying that the trailer peaked my interest. Maybe it's due to low expectations, but I thought it looks kinda decent, for what it is!

Graeme Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Because Mandalorian did it, so they have to also. I’m sure there will also be a whole episode about how he got his armor, what he was like as a kid, how Cortana got her name and more.

kelley Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 I watched the first episode this morning. Way more violent than I was expecting and also better than I was expecting, albeit my expectations were really low. Whooter and JoeyN 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlbertA Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 Side note: the paramount+ app in the LG OLEDs does not do HDR nor atmos - I ended up using the paramount+ in my iPhone and airplayed to my LG c1 and Halo was in Dolby vision + atmos that way. Spoiler Did they have to take the helmet off in the first episode? The voice and his face is just not what we are used to after exposure to the character for 20 years.

JFo Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Four episodes into this now. Wow, the creators of this show really hated Halo. At least all the story and the lore. You know, the stuff that one would expect them to cull from in an adaptation of the Halo video game franchise to film/TV. Almost none of it is here. I can understand making changes in order to adapt from one medium to another, but this goes way beyond that. At this point, I'm watching it more out of morbid curiosity than actual enjoyment.

Camp Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 100% agree with that take. Except I'm not going to continue watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 We went from the best episode so far, to the worst, I hope the new show runners get rid of this horrible secondary storyline next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are the new show runners? Because outside of Dennis Villeneuve or James Cameron I don’t know who could save this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask yourself this: If this were a show that existed in an alternate timeline where there was no videogame -- would you still hate it without the yardstick of the videogame series? For me, the answer is that this would still be garbage. This isn't good storytelling. There are definitely some bright spots, but not enough to keep watching. I'll give it a second chance if it is indeed retooled, but as it is, this ain't worth the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would I hate it? Probably not? The reason being that I probably wouldn’t watch it to begin with. I don’t usually jump in and start watching a new series unless it’s part of something I’m already familiar with (Star Wars, Halo) or something that is getting such ridiculously positive word-of-mouth online that I can’t ignore it (Ted Lasso). Halo: The Series is definitely not the latter of those two choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
