The didact is a phenomenal antagonist. The failing of halo 4 however was that you didn't learn his backstory enough in game, his struggles and why he became twisted. After reading the forerunner trilogy halo 4 having the didact is so much more impactful than if you just played the game. That's wheres there's a disconnect in the story telling.
I think the Reclaimer Saga should have had more of him instead of killing him it should have been a struggle against a unstopable enemy which you fight to save earth
Theres was some, very sparse, in game references to the didact all through halo tho. If you played some of the music backwards, the halo 3 terminals, sparks dialogue in CE when you confront Cortana in the control room, to name a few
Wrong. Making up all this supposed "backstory" for the Forerunners in the first place is a testament of how little 343 understands Halo. The Forerunners are supposed to be Ancient Humanity. And don't come with the "bUt BUnGiE diD iT FiRsT" bullshit that's just wrong if you invastigate who actually did it and why.
@@Agustin_Leal Well unfortunatly for you kid thats not true. The forerunners are a different race planted parallel to Humanity. You can have all the headcanon you want but that doesnt mean Forerunners are going to be retconned into humans. Especially because thats a far worse story thread than them being a different race.
He was supposed to be the main villain in Halo 5 Let’s hope he makes a big debut in halo infinite (Yes I know it’s about the banished but I don’t remember seeing didactic in any trailers)
The Harbinger is said to “honour the will of Atriox” I highly doubt one of the most powerful beings in the universe would want to serve the leader of a glorified Covenant splinter faction.
Didact should get recognition in Halo Infinite because he doesn’t die in the comics he actually survived Make him a main character or a cutscene with him in it maybe an end credit Screen is dark “Last time luck was on your side, now it is not, everyone runs out of luck including you human” You see his helmets orange eyes “I have been watching, waiting I know your every move, Next time it won’t be easy.” End Continuing to the next game or a DLC mission
Really wish they kept the Didact as the main villain for the new trilogy. Would have made more sense and been a lot more threatening. The last forerunner, the pinnacle of evolution thought lost to the Flood, The Rings, and the time that washed the galaxy anew. And he absolutely *HATES US!*
343 really did The Didact dirty. They had an amazing villain that they could have done anything with, but instead they turned him into a Saturday morning cartoon villain and threw him away after one game.
They can't consistently tell a story through multiple games like how Bungie did and it's so infuriating. I liked the original Bungie lore, but Halo 4 and 343's new lore could've worked. It had such great potential. It COULD've been as great as the og, but here we are. Man I just wanna be intrigued by this franchise once more, but I don't see it ever happening again. It's just so disheartening and depressing everytime me and the boys think about it.
To be fair, they had plans for him in H5, but after all the backlash of fans crying "We don't like The Didact" they threw him out, but there's also the rumor H5 had a massive rewrite near the end of it's OG plan. But regardless you can thank a lot of the fans for what 343 did to Didact. Not all the fans, but a lot.
They should have provided more setup to the Didact Fair if you if read the background material, but the game doesn't show how he was twisted into he is Keith Szarabajka gave an excellent performace
Yknow since I dont consider anything that isnt halo 3 extremely illegal I loved halo 4 and halo 5 the forerunner arsenal revealed including in halo 5 which i know is extremely illegal to the fanbase the splinter grenades the splinter turret and Phaeton was sick!
@@cringekiller348who asked? And debateable when you truly know the bs. Honestly it’s hilarious how people really, really, really underestimate just how broke a lot of the factions in halo can be. Especially the flood and the forerunners, and Spartans
If that happened humanity would’ve evolved fast af. And with all the knowledge the didact has he would prepare humanity to be prepared for when the flood return
The didact could have been a lot better, it's a shame he and the prometheans are largely forgettable, theme included. There was a right way to do the prometheans where they would have been very good antagonists. I don't think the ideas themselves were the problem, it was the way 343 did them.

I think the elite that said that was Jul 'Mdama, if I'm not mistaken.
Time was your ally human. But now it has abandoned you. The Forerunners have returned.
Your nobility has blinded you!

"Time was your ally human, but now it has abandoned you"
this was me just now with a project an hour before it was due. i think I did good
The ultimate God villain in the Halo universe, he's speech of the end is true and legendary.
aaaaaaaaaand then they kill him offscreen... but we then got Atriox! still sad though.
@@cadenboissineau4604 well he isn't really really dead

He was, a truly amazing villain.
Ryan Smith indeed
@@disparatebroom7705 shame there wasn't more of him.
@@Rinesmyth agreed man, like replacing cortana with him in halo 5 would've made the plot more interesting on his arc to restore the forerunner race

Make him a main character or a cutscene with him in it maybe an end credit

You see his helmets orange eyes

Maybe he is this harbinger the Banished speak of. Only time will tell.
@@DootMarine1173 the harbinger has a female voice and a very weird body shape so I guess no :( shame I really want the didact to return
he survived escalation, or was that removed from canon
@@Zanthra434 it was not removed
That doesn't mean that he will necessarily be bad...

The lore for the Didact in the eu is so cool its just a shame that he is depicted as a staurday morning cartoon villan in Halo 4

Didact, easily
@@Rinesmyth movie thanos yeah even with the stones, but comic thanos nope
@@LividSugars yea movie thanos is weak
@@LividSugars facts
@Halo master
Weak?
Not really
He would still clap didact.
Thanos is multiplanetary in strength.
Didact ain't
Goodbye science, goodbye religion, hello Halo.
This game would’ve been amazing if it was longer and explaining the didacts origins and not redesigning the covenant to look sooo stupid.
The didact would beat thanos in a fight
Thanos: 8'3"
Didact: 11'4"
Yea thanos is done for
He is going to get clapped
No Thanos is a super being on his own and with even one stone he'd kill this dude quickly
@@advocateofkaos3246 Like how Thanos killed Iron Man quickly, right?
What i read in halo lore scares me
The flood war wasn't a war of preserving life
It was a war to protect existence of the universe
Earth is so Ancient.
Little bit of a flood sir. Like the good old days.
Yknow since I dont consider anything that isnt halo 3 extremely illegal I loved halo 4 and halo 5 the forerunner arsenal revealed including in halo 5 which i know is extremely illegal to the fanbase the splinter grenades the splinter turret and Phaeton was sick!
Simplemente épico
When's the next "lost in space" Hollywood movie series coming out? Heh. Welcome to the present.

Especially the comic one.

Wouldn’t been cool if the Librarian plan worked by preserving her husband and he actually helped humanity instead of ya know…the game 😓
If that happened humanity would’ve evolved fast af. And with all the knowledge the didact has he would prepare humanity to be prepared for when the flood return

huh ??
There are no siths.

There was a right way to do the prometheans where they would have been very good antagonists. I don't think the ideas themselves were the problem, it was the way 343 did them.
Sir, villains, heros, it's the actors way of division.
Now see those amongst us that would seek self gain in endwar.
