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?
“The Spartans were built for 1 reason, to win the war vs the covenant” :agony-shivering:
the most interesting stuff in the halo universe is the insurrectionist stuff lmao
Best part of Halo was when they literally called out this lie in the first 10 seconds if the intro of Halo 4
Right? Like....no...FUCK YOU show. One of the more interesting aspects of the lore is in the fact that the Spartans were all victims of the military industrial complex and that the UNSC actually really aren't the "good guys". The Spartans being the epic champions of humanity and Chief himself being this great warrior who stands for all of humankind against the existential threat of the covenant is basically happenstance and even propaganda within the actual text.
The UNSC is a fascist military junta that created super-soldiers to kill pro-democracy and home rule factions on distant, exploited colonies. Sort of soured me to the series after Halo CE.
I cannot hear you because I am racing to my local marine enlistment office to become Le Epic Super Warrior.
