- Paramount's Halo has returned ...
Suddenly this fight is real for you? I've been in this fight since I was 1 minute old. Despite our best efforts, Season 2 has arrived in force. Is it good? Bad? Indifferent?
Well check your mouth, find your chair, and get set for a Deep Dive!
The second I heard "slip space rupture detected" I got goosebumps. Fuck, Reach is an amazing game.
The only thing I looked forward to with the second season is the videos like this shitting on this show. There was no way on earth any amount of work was going to fix this show after the first season. Specifically with that plank of wood Pablo.

Jellyfish uploaded, we're so back
Welcome back Commander Jelly, the enemy has just released another wave of attacks (ep 3), what are your orders?
As per the Winter Contingency: hold the line soldier! We are countering on every front.
God bless you and your work sir Jellyfish 💙💚💙 respect from Croatia-Europe 😇😇😇💙💙💙❤❤❤
God bless you too. 🐙
I still dream with the Peter Jackson's adaptation haha. While a Hall fan since 2001, there no interest for me in this series, but your videos, now that's what talking about!
Thanks mate, I watch so others don’t have to.
@@workingjellyfish Well District 9 is the remnants of the Halo film we could have gotten
@@Autobotmatt428 Landfall was Neill Blomkamp's best pitch, one can only but dream.
Your complaints about the music resembling the game's is similar to how I feel about the Cowboy Bebop live action using the exact same intro song from the anime... I don't like that song being associated with the live action. Make something new. Same as House of the Dragon using Game of Thrones' theme song. It just feels wrong.
Remember there's like 2 Dozen Spartan 2's by this point and they all grew up together, they all know each other intimately and were raised in rigid stoic military discipline.
The silver timeline needs to be glassed away
FUCK YES!... I've been waiting for this review.
I saw the ads but still forgot this show existed
You’d be happier for it, skipper.
Well its better then season 1 which I'll take and after episode 3 were gonna get some action. Found your channel a few weeks ago loved your season 1 vids looking forward to more. God bless you. Respect from Chicago IL USA!
Likewise, mate. Thanks for being here.
@@workingjellyfish Also key note you forgot "Maranda Super nurd gone!" or at least not in every episode.
@@workingjellyfish Coming back to this after the show finished. You were right about the extra story plots, writing, and the lack of focus. Though better then season one it still not what it could be. Unlike great tv shows were you can watch a full season and see the story unfold this show makes it really hard to do that cause you cannot think of the whole season without getting pissed off and laughing at the lack of a clear plot line and story.
For the helmets.... just buy some arming caps.
It does openly state that it's been 6 months. I can't remember who says it but it's mentioned in regards to one of silver team pulling their pellets
Yeah, Kai does say it, I got that wrong.
So this man head is actually that big in real life? That's not CG?😮😮😮
I'm always hesitant to judge any show based on their first 2-3 episodes, because that's usually where the money and care and attention goes, because studios knows those are the episodes most reviewers watch before putting out their reviews and the studio can half-ass everything else.
Where are the grunts?
Okay, the teenage banter thing is what the military is all about it’s just not right for Spartans because where the hell are they learning this humor from when they were kidnapped for their whole lives basically.
8:28 😂😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥💀🙌💯 GONE!
Yeah she's been gone for a while but she well return l think buy episode 6
i skipped the whole black spartan part, the whole ai girlfriend part, and at the end kwans part, that all was so comically pointless it fucking hurts
They should play the games or at least watch a playthrough first then write stuff😂
I´ve just watched the third episode and I mean it´s mostly just talking. Maybe 10-15 minutes are actually significant to the plot line.
wait we were going to get a Halo live action movie?
Yes and the remnants of it turned into District 9
A massive issue I have that Ive seen almost no one address is that fact season 1 clearly shows that the spartan's helmets record everything they do. Several times in the first season we see their combat and mission footage.
Why not simply look at the footage from his helmet. They could have put in a single back and fourth to explain the video was corrupted or something but we get nothing.
Watch the video Ackerson.
Ackerson and ONI know what MC saw; they are covering it up.
This is why Hollywood has to dumb down its programming. People get really confused if they put even a little bit of intrigue in the story.
Kiki *Wolfkill* ? Is that her legit last name? That's one of the coolest last names I've heard of it is.
Looks pretty damn good for a 54 year old. Ngl
She's a hack. She's a big part of why the writing in Halo 4 is as bad as it is.
@@OKMBVideos I agree.
The green leather costume at 17:06 looks like a skinny version of the costumes you'd find in that Planet Mountain Dew commercial an AI generated: ua-cam.com/video/iCR1OmL-8Ys/v-deo.html
12:37. This comment did not age well…
Anything 343 made isn't canon in my eyes.
Idk, HW2 was pretty good, sure they had help with CA but y'know.
@@karlmorgan8580 that shall be the only exception since 343 did half of the work
The only thing that they’ve made that I genuinely thought was a great piece of halo media was the audio podcast “Hunt for the Truth”
Hm
If you thought Halo didn't get good until 343 were developing it, then you are gonna love this tv show.
What you have to remember is that all the changes made in the TV show were either thought up by or ok'd by 343 industries.
You see, this was their chance to change Halo to what it should have been without having to adhere to what Bungie created. You see, 343 know how the Halo story should have been made.
They figured they knew what Halo was about more than Bungie did and were gonna make sure their vision was going up on screen and not Bungie.
And i disagree with this video in that they didn't change a single character or plot point. Every single lore and/or story point that was wrong and horrid in the first season is carried on in season 2.
I notice the action shots are all cloudy or misty or really fucking dark. I didn't mind the wide shots, but its really jarring and comes across as a budget saving difference this time around. Especially when some jackass sends 8 men to be killed in the dark as a MILITARY LEADER. AND THEY DO IT!
The UNSC is still portrayed as really, really stupid. Theres a lot of things they do that the roman empire wouldn't have done(and getting their uniforms wrong is one of them). Hell,. sending spartans to negotiate a small settlement evacuation is...weird. Why would you send your best for that?
I honestly wish they'd read the book where it goes through how the spartans were picked, trained, augmented etc and shows how their attitude would be in a tight knit unit of consummate professionals trained from children, not less professional than ODSTs have been shown.
This. This is what Halo is now. Just more of this forever. God this is poor. Should have ended with Number 4...
Shoulda ended with reach
@@varogoth Reach is the official ending, everything after that is horrible fanfiction.
Should have ended with 3.
@@Shenaldrac Reach > 3 all day
@@nathanwilliams3877 Gonna have to agree to disagree with you on that.
17:20 Pretty sure was Korean(or was her, anyway I hate random bashing Lol)
Don’t let facts get in the way of a long standing joke, soldier!
I didn't read it as bashing myself. He isn't criticizing the actor, he's criticizing the decision to include a character who appears to be there only to attract the very lucrative Chinese audience while also not even giving her anything to do relevant to the plot. It's not that you can't have an Asian or Chinese-specifically character, but that the way they did it in this show didn't feel like "this is a character that's a part of this story who happens to be [nationality/sex/race]" and instead felt very clearly like "This character is here for the sole purpose of having [nationality/sex/race] included for optics purposes."
And I do think that's worthy of criticism and barbed comments/nicknames like Jellyfish used. But I can see that it can come off as racial bashing too.
@@workingjellyfish Nah it’s just that I’m Chinese I live in China(don’t ask me how I end up here and certainly don’t tell anyone else(well, nevermind chances are they already know Lol)
I’m not very supportive of the retards in charge or what they’re trying to push.
I simply don’t want to be reminded of how terrible a place I live in, while enjoying content from creators I like. It happens all the time, with Majorkill, Pilgrim’s Pass and our dear Jellyfish here. Random Chinese jokes instantly breaks the immersion and escapism for me.
But nobody asked. Carry on :D
@@Shenaldrac Not a big deal, I’m past getting offended, it doesn’t offend me in the slightest. It’s just miss fire, a strayed shot. Next time Jellyfish will simply have to make sure the Chinese jokes are well-aimed and accurate, and have actual mirth to them, so I can actually have a good laugh. There might be very few of us but we are in fact, out here watching.
@@workingjellyfish Well, I’m Chinese and I live in China, I’m out here looking for entertainment and escapism. The joke breaks immersion and pulls me back into reality a little.
But it’s fine. Carry on :D
Just like with Star Trek Picard, there's no recovering these franchises. Saw too many people praising Season 3 of Picard, they were all fooled by Terry Matalas and Halo will not recover from that abomination that was Season 1. Halo can run for 10 seasons and that first season will taint every second of it.
its hard to watch honestly man, doesnt feel like halo at all
it's building there slowly so the suddenly change in tone can look more organic and not a sudden switch up
@@commandergoji886 i can only hope for that to come true. It sucks they didn’t just start off good yk
they need to cut out kwan andthat other spartan and focus on the main spartans and covenant, and put the helmets back on@@commandergoji886
@@commandergoji886 I know the contract doesn't let them do it, but this is definitely a major issue for the brand and they should have probably just killed it before S2 came out.
There are really two ways out of this,
1. They continue defiling the corpse of the franchise and excret a season of a show that feels like it hates Halo and wants as little to do with it as possible, signposting the actual death of Halo as an IP people care about
2. They can this, have Paramount remove it from their streaming catalogue ASAP and then course-correct with Halo 7 to retcon Halo 4-Infinite and focus on a different character instead of Chief.
I feel that 1 is far more likely than 2.
@@OKMBVideos it's definitely 1, cause there's still a lot of ways they can make the series good, they just dont wanna fucking do it for some reason, you can tell david weiner's trying really hard but he still didn't do enough homework, like sangheili sent in hordes, spartans floating on water, jackals with energy daggers and more. They just had to do more research and it would've worked out
As for the helmet situation, it's really not a big deal, its like the contract with pedro pascal in the mandalorian, they have to show his face once or few times, however his face being shown less was most likely part of the contract and to save money cause of how expensive he is. Mr Pablo Jimmy rings is different here, he's less expensive and famous, acting is part of his job and telling him to do all that behind a helmet is completely disregarding his profession, in that case they should've hired a voice actor instead, or even steve downes
