Losing one's children in war does that. She realized that their reason for fighting was noble, and forgave them. He was only embittered.

Also the didact dies mid way through and is kinda replaced by a notclone kind clone thing

I don't think that's entirely accurate.@@adammckay852

​@@adammckay852he 'disappeared' a couple times which is why bornstellar was made but he never died

Having a “conversation” with the Gravemind definitely didn’t help that guys sanity…

Yes, slowly damaging his mental health in the process.

Not centuries. Millennia. Forerunners when wearing their armor can't die from aging. And its stated that during the Ancient Human/Forerunner war, the Didact and Forthchenko, Lord Of Admirals, spent a thousand years chasing each other before the final battle over Charum Hakur.

Riseee!

No he’s an idiot who can’t admit when he’s wrong.

@@Shinzon23damn and the flood played the longhall to see who won

Nothing would have been avoided, the Forerunners were ridding the high horse and thought the Mantle of Responsibility was theirs alone. Of course, they grossly underestimated how powerful the Flood was and even if the Humans would try to explain, they wouldn't listen. Then they punished humans by devolving them to the bronze age and this sealed their fate, they would stand alone against an impeccable enemy that was made by their creators (The precursors) to punish the Forerunners for killing/betraying them. This was their punishment.

All of these would have been avoided if the forerunner s didnt kill the precursors

@@Yoda_Panda what if the forerunners discovered that the precursors were only growing life to Consume it or damn it to an eternity of agony... What if the precursors had a secret.. I mean, they look very menacing.. The great demoralization started with the primordial and was the beginning of the end for ancient humanity. We can't know for sure..

Even if they did (which some of them probably did), the Forerunners have hated humanity ever since humanity was advanced enough for the Precursors to want to test us for the Mantle after deeming the Forerunners as unworthy, and that was 10 million years before all this happened. Historical prejudice plays a massive part, as no matter what the Humans would have said or shown them, the Forerunners simply had no reason to believe them. I could see several possibilities of a warning being received: 1: The Forerunners believe that the Flood are a fabricated lie for the Human empire to have an official excuse to invade and take Forerunner territory and resources. 2: They believe the Flood is a false-flag operation, either misinformation or a bioweapon specifically engineered by Humanity to be used against the Forerunners, and would put Humanity in a better light when they come to "fix" the Flood problem for the Forerunners. 3: The Flood were a human bioweapon planned for use against the Forerunners, but it got out of control.breached containment and now Humanity are trying to rein it back in/clean up their mess. These or some combination/variation of these would be how the Forerunners would react to the Humans showing then proof of the Flood, all the while underestimating the effectiveness and adaptiveness of the parasite.

ApplesWithPeanutButter thats the con of living for hundreds of thousands of years. You get bored and start doing whatever

They honestly could have used the didact as the villain for the next trilogy. The lore from the books could have easily been expanded on and translated to the games.

@@thamostgangsta12 The Didact gave off a Darkseid/Thanos level big bad vibe which would’ve translated so amazingly in the reclaimer saga. Its ashame how much of a disaster this whole trilogy has been.

He gives off a General Zod, White Wolf, T'Chaka vibe. They may seem cruel but they only did the horrible things for the betterment of the people

Yeah wish they kept Didact’s “conversation” with the Gravemind in these terminals. Would help explain why he was barking mad.

For a second I thought you said make a Mass Effect game during the Human Forerunner war and I was like "But the lore!" 🤣🤣

Naa fuck that the didact wanted to go out fighting, instead of murdering the galaxy for essentially no reason

@@ShadowofGod616 Yeah... right, go out fighting the flood of all things, and where would that have left the galaxy when all is said and done, nah man I'd rather take the big ring gun pointed at the head of the galaxy and pop myself than fighting the flood.

@@ShadowofGod616 the problem with that is the flood would’ve just went to the next galaxy after finishing the milky way off

The Ur didact wasn’t right. But he was so beautifully written that it feels as if he was.

Lmao

Or the Iso-Didact.

They probably wouldnt trust an exodus level of humans colonizing their worlds in such a short time.

He tried. However it is know forerunner shaked off the threat of flood while entirely of their one planet were infested

Forerunners were blinded with pride and the false sense of security their mantle position and technology gave them. They saw the humans they stole the mantle from as beneath them and disregarded them as a result. This would become their undoing, just as the precursors indented. Humanity by contrast... a part of their soul would die with each planet they glassed. They also knew they couldn’t fight the flood or the forerunners head on, so they aimed at glassing the flood out of existence as quickly as possible. The part where Lord Admiral advises his guards to lay down their weapons when the Forerunners overtake them is telling.

No flood. They just gonna destroy all the thing that touch the flood

That could have happened if "The Lord of Admirals" listened to his subordinate and warned the Forerunners. If he left the proof of the existence of the flood on the Forerunner world's, Humanity would have been believed.

@@borg111 then the flood would have grown stronger 🤥

@@benclark4823 I think it's explained that humans actually created cure against the flood but smashed it out of pure spite against the forerunner.

​@@borg111I mean look from his perspective. Imagine the flood with the technology of the forerunners. It made the flood strong enough to basically wipe out the galaxy and the forerunners were all but annihilated to the point they had to use the halos.

Lol

Tier 1 forerunners aren’t tier 0 the only tier 0 species in the Milky Way were precursors

@@macdaddy2978 if that's true then how were forerunners able to defeat precursors during forerunner-precursor war?

@@DrGumskratch the precursors never faught back as far as we know

@@aamirdave5202 They did fight back in the books. They were enraged that they lost, hence the flood. I agree that the Forerunners are tier 1, but they did have tier 0 technology at their disposal such as the Domain, perfect spheres, and star bridge usage. They could not yet manufacture such things, but they could harness them to an extent. The only species destined to reach tier 0 were humans, but the Precursors wanted them to have millions of years of evolution and experience so that they would be righteous rulers and not tyrants with raw power.

That and being captured and tortured by the Gravemind.

THANK YOU. I was like "Who is that voice actor??"

Ah, so that explains the returned of "Why boner" when I hear him speak.

The transgressions against the Forerunner planet is the reason they fail, they were now fighting the Human-Forerunner war, with the Human-Flood war. It was a war on two fronts for them. The Didact also believed they were going for the Mantle of Responsibility

this costed the entire galaxy😭

There are a lot of emotional and dramatic moments in Halo, but I'm genuinely surprised you think this is one of those moments. (assuming you're not being sarcastic)

@@MrHawkelementHe's just being sarcastic..

@@DrGumskratch i am not being sarcastic its just this moment the only time we see an ancient human the music too you can just feel the desperate times humans were going through

Well we're gonna learn what happened to him after that soon. Halo: Epitaph takes place after that comic book and is supposed to be the end of the Didact's story.

I hate TN72H

@@o_manam They did a good job with the book though!!!

@Nuno Aguiar Interesting comments, *Halo Fan and Halo Spartan.* You were right and good point actually.. You know some information about Gravemind nor Floods legions in *halopedia* from Google? Is it Your first time for seeing halopedia?

no there is no cure. since the flood are ancient precursors that means they practice the belief in living time in which everything in existence is a living being. now since we know precursors are not bound to any physical form that means that even if you destroyed their corporeal forms completely they're consciousness would exist within the fabric of reality itself.

But such time had passed that the forerunners had lost/forgotten about their role in that

All around the game but Idk how to watch them afterwards

Legacy

@@Nuada1916do you know what the theme at 3:44 is? Can’t find it anywhere but maybe it’s to short and just a one off

because the prophet's species were allied with humanity on killing the flood, but the forerunners mistook the attack on forerunner planets which were flood infected as a war declaration, then the forerunners realised their mistake when it was too late.

@foroooo Yes, but my question remains. In the book Cryptum, it says that Humanity didn't reach within 15k light years of the Forerunner's capital. Humans didn't take any Forerunner territory during the war. The Flood conquered Forerunner system after system, converted or destroyed thousands of their ships. If it wasn't for the firing of the Halo, the Flood would have obliterated the entire Forerunner empire. Again I ask, how are Humans the greatest threat the Forerunners ever faced?

@@borg111 because Humans, even tough smaller in size, are actually smarter than the forerunners but the forerunners are more advanced technologically.

@@borg111Because The Flood are more akin to a cosmic force of nature than an actual “threat” based in reality. Humanity is the greatest “threat” The Forerunners faced when pertaining to their stewardship over the Mantle.

@Jedilord882 Regardless of the Flood's classification it is still considered a threat. Also, the Flood is alive so it is still a life force threatening another life force.

I just realized that as well seconds before reading your comment. 😂

That's because Joshua Graham and the Didact are voiced by the same person. Keith Szarabajka

The only way they could possibly rival the flood is if they are related to the Precursors in some shape or form as we know that some Precursors didn't grind themselves down into dust and were sheltered by some who wanted to protect them before transforming themselves into simple organisms like plants. They also have halo-immune properties which would mean if the Endless were infected by the Flood then the Flood would become entirely immune to the Halos therefore unstoppable. So yeah, just as much as a threat as the flood.

@@goaway4502 They aren't bc what we know so far about the Endless just fundamentally ruins what the Flood and Precursors are. And the Precursors accidentally turned themselves to the Flood and the Precursors that remained either let themselves to be killed or went into stasis so unless the Endless are the Precursors themselves the Endless as an enemy factions ruins what the main story line if Halo. Also the Endless being immune to the Halo doesn't make them equally or worse then the Flood bc there are other species who were immune to the Halo rings as well. Also Endless can't turn into combat forms however you can still become Flood by becoming 1 with the Gravemind. Also the Flood can return to being God's again when they infect a certain number of species so no the Endless are 343 way of telling a story bc their last 2 games flopped so hard bc 343 doesn't know how to finish the Mantel of Responsibility story line.

@@valzicplayz3845 "And the Precursors accidentally turned themselves to the Flood and the Precursors that remained either let themselves to be killed or went into stasis" Which is proven to be false as the book Point of Light confirms some of them survived and did neither of these things. "Also the Endless being immune to the Halo doesn't make them equally or worse then the Flood bc there are other species who were immune to the Halo rings as well." Which is also false by every definition of the word as the flood infecting a species immune to the effects of the Halo Array means they themselves can become immune to it's effects meaning the Flood would become completely unstoppable if they infected the Endless and if they've already spread to the extent where containment isn't possible. "Also Endless can't turn into combat forms however you can still become Flood by becoming 1 with the Gravemind." I didn't bring this up so I have no idea what you are talking about. "Also the Flood can return to being God's again when they infect a certain number of species" They were never in any sense gods unless of course you're being metaphorical. "so no the Endless are 343 way of telling a story" Describing a fictional species in a fictional franchise is a way of telling a story! My you are clever! "bc their last 2 games flopped so hard bc 343 doesn't know how to finish the Mantel of Responsibility story line." Don't need anymore evidence to know you are an anti-343 diehard fanatic whose just gonna comment negatively on literally anything they do because of Halo 5 which has already been forgiven by many Halo Players as Halo Infinite's Campaign was amazing enough to compensate for that mistake and there's still a decades worth of story content yet to come on Infinite according to 343 probably via Campaign DLCs.

@@goaway4502 I also forgot to mention the Flood were technically also immune to the Halo rings as well.

@@valzicplayz3845 how were they immune when the halo rings killed them off

She died on earth when the rings fired..

After putting the Didact inside the cryptum she went to Earth to build the portal to the Ark and also to momentarily distract the Flood, she then died when the rings were fired.

If you've played halo 3 you can check the terminals and it shows librarian and didact talking

@@aprilparlow170 those terminals are also somewhat manipulated by mendicant bias to help chief and Vadamee understand what he was trying to say and to help them understand what was at stake

The librarian at Mount Kilimanjaro on Earth when the halos fired

Yes but if the humanoty just warned the forerunners and showed them yeah flood is so so dangerous they could have worked together and beat the damn thing. And 2 precursors uncorrupted ones survived in this galaxy.

@@berilsevvalbekret772 considering the arrogance of the forerunners I doubt that they would’ve taken that warning seriously.
