I hope it gets wiped and start over with competent show runners who actually play the games and understand them. There’s a reason the Last of Us and Fallout TV series are highly acclaimed.
100% and I watched the entirety of season 1 trying to give it a fair shake. But it’s just too obvious it was supposed to be “its own thing”. Which, maybe with a bit better on the story side, it would have been a fairly decent original IP. Nothing ground breaking or spectacular, but decent.
I’m not really sure I agree, and I think Fallout is a good case in point. They did nail the general vibe with the dark humor, easter eggs, etc, but it was pretty much a 100% original story that had very little to do with any of the games.
I think the same could have been done with Halo, except the writing and execution of the original story were fucking awful. Faithfulness to the games was never going to help it anyway.
I really hope this gets picked up elsewhere.
God no.

Agreed, I also watched season 1 and was willing to watch an original take on halo, but it was just fucking terrible.

If you want to make an original story that doesn’t have much to do with the games, you don’t make the main character the Master Chief.
agreed. like I said, the execution was awful.
