And now, the moment you've all been waiting for... An entire season of the Master Chief without his armor, having lengthy conversations and getting emotional about things he can't control. But he gets to wear his armor for the last episode.
...Who's Cortana?
“If you don’t like the color red, you’re not a real fan of Blue” – Pablo Whatshisface, clown
wasn't his quote actually more like,
He's right, I don't like their version lol
Master Cheeks does a lot of stuff that's against Master Chief's character, so it's more like "blue being painted red"
I’m out of the loop, mind sharing the original quote/source?
"If you don’t agree with the helmet coming off in the show, you don’t like our show" -- Pablo Schreiber, actor who tries to convince people that he's playing Master Chief. He's disrespecting the character and then putting the blame on the audience. And he's right, I haven't played Halo other than Reach, CE, and half of Infinite, but I understand Chief's competently stoic appeal and fucking hate the show.

Uh, I mean... yeah that pretty much sums it up nicely
Thanks, I haven’t watched the show or heard this before.
Sounds like he’s disrespecting fans solely because he would rather have more time with his ugly mug in front of the camera.
I like those conversations about how Spartans came to be and all, but jesus even the ones that do have armor take of their helmet in the middle of battlefield, because dialogue coming up. Hollywood needs to get over it's childish need of showing actor's faces even when the plot doesn't demand it, if mandalorian can do it, so can you.
Dredd was awesome, and Karl Urban didn't show his face for a single frame.
Props to him. But at least that helmet is more like a cowl so we could still see him scowl
That was one issue I had with Dune (part 2 in particular) their faces should be mostly covered when out in the desert, but they just had to show their faces at all times. Still, it's a great movie but I don't get why that has to be done.
I tried watching it as an alternative universe from Halo, but the way they plainly portrayed the fall of Reach was so dull and fast that I had to stop there.
It was just like whoops, Covenant came, we can't do anything other than a dozen soldiers fighting in the city. Another planet, let's move on 🤷♂️
I mean... there are much better halo fanfics
For real. One of the best books in the lore and an amazing game in it's own right. But it felt like they were obligated to cover it. They were like, "how can we show this on screen for as little time as possible. "
I refuse to watch that show, I was planning on bing in it once it was done but as soon as I heard about the absolute disregard for the IP I stopped caring and every time I see it mentioned it somehow gets worse over there.
All they needed to do is space John Wick with just 20% more high level plot
I read some of the books back in the day, there is definitely room to do a space opera, war focused scifi show without twisting the halo universe away from the games..... I have zero interest in watching it though because halo 1-3 were one of my most beloved childhood franchises, I know they could have found writers and directors who love halo as much as I do and would have updated and fleshed it out in a way that felt true to the games. As it is, it just feels like the show's target audience is people who don't really have any connection to halo which seems like a pretty dumb idea.
I got star trek on paramount tho, so I don't need a shitty Halo tv series adaption.
That's Paramount Plus though, right?
Every time I see one of their ads, I just think they haven't even got enough content to fill a billboard, let alone a whole streaming service.
