Hey all! Was out of the studio today just as a precaution (everyone is fine!!!) but the plan is to be back in the studio tomorrow for Obi-Wan / Ms. Marvel! Plus commentaries back next week. Thanks for hanging out and understanding!

Brian David Gilbert should've been head writer for this show. He spent a year learning the lore! What a missed opportunity.

"I understand the Mario Brothers movie more than I understand this" Actually a great point. Halo has a pretty interesting hook and story in it's games. And has several books, though I haven't read any to speak on the quality.

You know. I think it's still weirder to see you IN studio than at home atm.

The best quote ever: It's combat evolved, not talking evolved.

Glad you are all okay, and that I missed this Halo

The writers of the show admitted to playing Mass Effect before doing the show. That's why it looked like a Mass Effect show to me with a Halo DLC lol.

The Neil Blaumkamp commercials were amazing for Halo 3. Yall should check those out

Love you guys. Hope to see you guys back in the studio

UNSC not USMC, cmon people that's Halo 101 right there.

Sooo Red vs Blue Honest Trailer when??

Do you keep deliberately saying it wrong? It was wrong both in the actual honest trailer and in this commentary, its UNSC, united nations space command, I've heard you guys say it wrong in like 3 different ways lol

Forward unto dawn.

The most offensive aspect about this blasphemous show wasn’t the fact it showed the Master Chief’s (pbuh) face constantly or had him instantly become an apostate to the UNSC. It’s that it sidelined Cortana, the deuteragonist and core relationship of the canonical story. In it’s place it had an heretical depiction of the Chief (pbuh) laying with a woman he just met, when every devout believer knows he’s pure and saving his virginity for his holographic waifu.

on your fandom page I keep looking for the powers venom had from your animated series? Like materializing clothes and shapeshifting is it on a certain page?

Are normal SJUs gone? Do you plan to bring them back?

You should check out the announced synopsis for Gran Turismo. It's actually not what you'd expect. "Based on a true story, the film is the ultimate wish fulfillment tale of a teenage Gran Turismo player whose gaming skills won a series of Nissan competitions to become an actual professional race car driver."

The Quan storyline I felt like held back the story the most.

I liked the Prince of Persia Movie 😄

i use the bose 700 headphones too....with my xbox controller, works and sounds like a charm...highly recommended....and i've got the same colour

For me, please do Ski School 1 and 2 and mention me when you do.

UNSC? United Nations Spaces Command. Sorry ♥

I don't know anything about the game, but I liked de show.

I want to see the Alex Garland version of Halo, especially if it's "Dredd" Alex Garland. If it's "Annihilation" Alex Garland I'm also into it.

I wanna hear more about your lunch.

So sad they did a Judge Dredd and remove the helmet. At least they got that part right in the 2012 remake of Dredd

Halo: Talking Evolved dating sim doesn't sound terrible.

Please do the card counter on Hbomax starring Oscar Isaac.

Why did they change the look of Cortana?

Obi Wan next week eh?

Can you make an honest trailer for Star Trek: Picard after the series finale is released

Ironically Halsey being in charge of every single science thing isn't a show problem because that actually is a thing from the games. I hate it there too, but that's just the one thing that isn't the show's fault.

So Amazon was in the works for a Fallout show, Halo Reach did the same thing by mentioning a insurgent up raising and then never explain it. And whose idean was it that MC take his helmet off some many times??? I feel like this was purely the actors choice who just wanted more screen time of him self.

Do Prince of Persia next please

Wait, Raised By Wolves got cancelled?!

When I first saw the trailer and saw the desert planet I was like this must be Nethrop from the book Oblivion and that girl must be one of the Castoffs. Then I finished episode 1 and was like the writing is about to be terrible. Then in episode 2 they made Reth WHO IS NOT A HUMAN IN THE BOOKS he Is suppose to be a jackal I knew they didn’t give af. This show is just a cash grab and doesn’t anyway shape or form try to mirror actual Halo. This show should be called the adventures of Jimmy Rings NOT Halo!

Is sonic the best video game movie?

I have no idea how this show was ok'd by 343i. Then again, I do know why now. 343i has no idea what Halo is either. I miss the old Bungie.

It was just another opportunity to share “The Message.”

Halo was never going to be faithful. You could tell by how long it took to get a studio interested in making it. That's just how Hollywood works with adaptations. Throw out everything and insert their own ideas. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Easily the second worst adaptation I've ever seen second only two the Last Airbender. I'll never understand why they didn't just adapt the Halo book series into a tv show. Especially because the original first 3-4 are one story! Also, the fact that this show has a fresh rating on rotten tomatoes shows me I can never trust RT for tv show reviews. It's just too hit and miss reviewing only the first episode or two.

I hope season 2 gets cancelled

I liked this series...

I've been a diehard halo fan for 15+ years and I loved the show and what they tried to pull off. The spartan fights were top notch, honestly.

This show had the look down… but the worst writers and directing. Had potential but ended up being bad.

Kai was the best thing to come out of this show

I liked the show. Yes, it had serious problems but I liked what they were trying to do.

If you're quadruple vaccinated what are you so afraid of lmao

Love you guys... but I think this commentary is wayy off base. The Halo show really hit on many of the Halo themes. Normally it seems like y'all really do your homework, but not on this one. Need Dan again so you can task him with watching all the Halo movies, anime, and slideshow movie things haha Plus replay all the games..
