Huge thank you to Zanyverse and Zelda Beyond for helping out with the video 🙌 Links to their channels are posted in the description, go check them out 👆
I know little about Halo, the game, so I watched episode 1 with no connection to the lore. It was easily the worst non-BBC series' episode I've seen in years. Every single element is completely bungled. Everything is as stupid or inept as it could possibly be. How can this kind of thing happen? It was like turning a corner and happening on someone squatting in the street and rubbing his own excrement into his hair.
"But in all reality Kwan is a full-blown opportunistic parasite, willing to screw over anyone in pursuit of her political aspirations." She would make a great politician then. Great video as always man, cant wait for the second part! Thank you for having me do a lil cameo too!
>"Coming very soon" >*is almost exactly a year and a half later* >Me, very sad, having just discovered channel and now stuck with the feeling of holding back a sneeze >Now booting up Master Chief Collection on Steam. I'm not cryin, YOU're cryin!! Hehehe 😂 in all seriousness though, love your work, homie 👽🤙
0:56 "So I never felt limited by it being a game". They make it sound as if "it being a game" is a bad thing that showrunners and filmmakers need to overcome when adapting video game franchises, rather than staying faithful to the source material - the source material is somehow beneath them. This abomination they call "Halo" needs to tank, and hard.
The fact that the chief is in more scenes naked than inside his suit shows how much they did not give a FUCK about the franchise as a whole! And I'm saying this someone who isn't a diehard halo fan!
They really really really *really* wanted fans to be at a point where they are entirely loyal to all their respective franchises and engage in vacuous consumption of their cinematic swill no matter the quality... But they didn't get that, so they are just pretending that's the case, while they poach, bastardize, denigrate a beloved series while appealing to neither fans or newcomers, but it's fine, because nothing will stop them from giving themselves a pat on the back and award themselves badges of honor for something they failed at rather than succeeded. They are that complacent about it all, they don't need you, they don't want you, they are making movies for themselves and their peers. They know how to make movies/series, but they have forgotten how to make entertainment.
Just found your channel today and have been going thru all your videos. Great content man! You deserve a lot more subscribers than you have. Keep up the great videos!
Really enjoying your review. I always imagined a master Chief movie would just be Shiney face green suit punisher fucking up the different halo bad guys.the flood would look awesome to fight lots of creativity for interesting kills.
Dude I love your videos. You’re gonna be raking in subs in no time. The editing is perfect (and hilarious) and you have a good knack for pointing out plot holes and logical fallacies.
High quality videos my man. Keep it up and you’ll have half a million subs within the next year. Good for you man. Your ROP and matrix video essays were awesome as well
I can tell you have a lot more to say and I am excited to hear you out, you pointed out things I didn't notice and it has really shined a light on how much of a dumpster fire this show is. Very good.
Hey, just found your via your rings of power video. You're doing great! Subscribed and liked and what not, keep it up and I think your channels gonna get pretty big dude!
I haven't seen this show, but why would a Spartan go back to Reach? If you find a discarded wrapping paper from a Covenant snack bar, Winter Contingency is declared and no ship should ever take a direct route to any concentration of UNSC assets that can't be packed up in a hurry in case they are compromised. I wonder what Halo media the shitheads making this show actually did watch, because to my eye it looks like some dodgy concept art mixed with a random pick of wiki articles filtered throgh several layers of Google Translate for fun. Heck, even if the writers were too high and mighty to lower themselves to something as plebian as playing or watching a video game, there are books. I've said this before, and I'll say it again: Halo is the story of a humanity that was lucky enought to create the perfect, loyal super soldiers just as they were discovered by a genocidal alien theocracy bent on their destruction, and among those, John-117 wasn't "the chosen one" or anything; Kurt-051 had better intuition, Kelly-078 was faster by far, Linda-058 could snipe targets as fast as her rifle could cycle, and Frederic-104 was so skilled in all fields of combat that it's said he purposefully came in at 2nd place in every individual contest so he wouldn't literally top every leaderboard. John had the distinction of being "lucky", of consistently being in the right place at the right time, almost like a nod to the nature of a video game protagonist necessarily succeeding against bad odds whenever they are placed in a high stakes situation. If the game had used literally any other Spartan as the player character, they would be just as much of a "chosen one". I hate this rash of shitty adaptations. At least Arcane was awesome, which came as a shock to many.
I note they made the Elite's sadistic when killing humans. OG hinge-heads were ruthless and effective, some even came to respect humans as a worthy foe, and questioned why humanity wasn't offered to join the Covenant. This whole show is trash.
I know I'm a little late to the party, but Spartans (especially the Spartan 2s) being inhuman killing machines isn't entirely inaccurate, and I can easily see Innies describing them as such. We even see as much in Reach, with Emiles "Big guy forgets who he is" line when Jorge tries to talk to the woman in winter contingency. And let's not forget that the only thing Jun felt putting down Civlian unrest was "Slight Recoil." I was actually excited for the show to tackle the moral grayness of the Halo lore, but uh, yeah. It did not.

Great video as always man, cant wait for the second part!
Thank you for having me do a lil cameo too!
Best way to sum up this show is with a mere title change. Book of Master Cheeks.

All characters named John seems to have most of their lines being "I don't know" in recent years...
They really really really *really* wanted fans to be at a point where they are entirely loyal to all their respective franchises and engage in vacuous consumption of their cinematic swill no matter the quality...

Get ready to do Kenobi series. You just know that Disney's gonna screw that one up as well.
Its here.
you have criminally low number of subscribers. Top tier content.
Just found your channel today and have been going thru all your videos. Great content man! You deserve a lot more subscribers than you have. Keep up the great videos!
Ahhh yes, Hollywood showing how inept they are at telling a half decent story in 2022
Really enjoying your review. I always imagined a master Chief movie would just be Shiney face green suit punisher fucking up the different halo bad guys.the flood would look awesome to fight lots of creativity for interesting kills.
Dude I love your videos. You’re gonna be raking in subs in no time. The editing is perfect (and hilarious) and you have a good knack for pointing out plot holes and logical fallacies.
Thanks! I’ve just been trying to have my editing not look like total garbage, so glad to know I’m doing something right 😂
Finally! I was waiting for that one
Oh halo the game..i thought you meant the circle nightlight around Jesus' head.
It took half the video for me to figure it out.
Great stuff. Man your channel is criminally underrated.
Thanks man!
High quality videos my man. Keep it up and you’ll have half a million subs within the next year. Good for you man. Your ROP and matrix video essays were awesome as well
Hey thanks! Glad you’re liking them, got plenty more on the way 👍
Great Vid, as always
Thank you! I just wanted to know how bad this show is but EFAP is taking too long...
I can tell you have a lot more to say and I am excited to hear you out, you pointed out things I didn't notice and it has really shined a light on how much of a dumpster fire this show is. Very good.

Great content, I hope you do a video on the Kenobi series done the line as well.

you seem like a mauler fan :) good stuff man
"Frosk..." Nice!
The show is just way too violent as well, blood and gore wise.
The show is like America is attacked by an unknown advanced alien civilization and the response of the youth is to protest for alphabet rights

Its rtrded

I can't get over how trash this show was.
