    It could also be interpreted as them coming before others but still being around and more powerful/advanced, therefore they are inherently superior to others.

    I HATED that 343 was so lazy as to not actually name the species. The Didact referred to himself as Forerunner. That was the name the current galaxy had given them, not what they called themselves. The writing in the main games really started slipping, so i always wondered how Halo Wars was so well done.

    Seriously, if you start a halo lore channel or do halo stuff a bit more i'd love that. Eckharts ladder does star wars lore and halo stuff as well, but nowadays he hardly covers halo. Its such a good combo though imo! Only real difference between your fanbase and ecks (i think) is that his channel banner states 'star wars, halo and more' whereas you are a star wars channel, so the portion of your fans who are dual franchise lore nerds may be smaller. But if the views support it... 👀

The guy was a cringelord of the highest order and a terrible writer, which was evident in the Halo anime. His only name to fame was Mr Chief, a character only he out of everyone cared about. Oh did I mention he also joined 343 and took lead on Halo 4's plot?

    I still believe the precursors gave the mantle to the humans due to good facial proportions and ample variety in noses.
    While the forerunners look kind of uncanny fish people.
    Who knows, maybe they don't needed a nose on their evolution due to being angry at everything all the time and receiving suckerpunchs on the face all the time wich in turn evolved on their society on the absence of nose and the necesity of creating beautiful but absurdly lethal weapons of mass destruction.

      The few left at 343, now Halo Studios, actually respect the franchise's history. They have done a lot in the background to redirect things. The origins of Humans and Forerunners are not clear anymore, and there is definitely a connection. At this point, I would say Forerunners and Humans are the same in the current lore. The specifics are lost to history and nearly 20 million years.
