    I just watched the Halo series, thought it was corny but kinda awesome, and then discovered noone else thought it was awesome. Def had some problems, tried to shoehorn in a lot of stuff but by the finale I was super hooked

      Out of curiosity, did you play Halo 1, 2, or 3?

          I asked because I can see why fans would be displeased, given the tone/style of the MC in those games. TBH it kept me from giving the Halo series a shot.

            I haven’t played them since they first came out, practically a lifetime ago. Actually now that I think about it my friend is really into halo lore I wonder if they saw the show.

            It was hokey but I liked it. And yeah I thought it ended really strongly but there’s no plan for a 3rd season

              Neither have I, except for Infinity more recently.

              I’m somewhat into the lore, but not a ton, and it does look like the show is such a tonal break. It looks like space opera, while Halo 1-3 had this feel of touring a quiet, grim war with Cortana as your sassy narrator.

              Now, I am all in for shameless space opera, so maybe I should try it with an open mind.
