Lol. My expectations were pretty much rock bottom but man oh man its even worse then I expected. My sister and I are huge halo nerds and we're going to hate-watch and riff the shit out of this monstrosity. Edit: Sidenote I wonder if this trailer will finally kill the slowed down popsong cliche once and for all?

      -Reduces CGI budget and gives them more flexibility to develop the primary antagonist. Aliens that look like aliens as opposed to foreheads of the week are a bit more expensive to generate. Ultimately she does seem to be a missionary/pilgrim of some kind raised by the prophets. Its fucking dumb and the very idea that they'd do it completely undercuts everything about High Charity and how the Covenant responded to the discovery of humanity.

      -I doubt the people behind this have any appreciation for the lore and complexities of Sangheli culture and their position within the covenant. I doubt they will even talk much if at all. They'll probably just grunt in acknowledgement when the human antagonist and/or prophet orders something.

      -Good question....odd choice.

      -Budget.

      -Gotta follow the trends!!!!

      People have literally grown up with Cortana and they didn't even make Cortana look like Cortana.
