Oh well. I guess this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise considering the show’s disinterest in the source material and Paramount’s precarious position these days.
Good riddance. Extremely Cocky show runners who felt their TV show was BIGGER than the 2 decades worth of Halo history.
Bit of a shame as I thought the 2nd season redeemed itself. Fall of Reach was well done.
I disagree but I understand your perspective. To me the Fall of Reach was botched horribly. But I'm a lifelong Halo fan so that may not be applicable to most.
I’m also a life long halo fan. However I came to terms a long time ago with the fact that the media I love will change over time.
Would I prefer that Star Wars had stuck to Admiral Thrawn being the big bad post Return of the Jedi? Absolutely, but I didn’t throw a fit when the sequel trilogy retconned all the books I read in the 90s. I was more happy to get new media after so long and despite the movies being awful we at least got some decent side projects like Andor and Rogue One.
Edit: Sorry, to be clear, I’m not saying you are throwing a fit, I just remember all the toxic wailing and nashing of teeth on the Halo subreddit. The first season was bad television regardless of whether it was Halo or not.
Second season was a lot better and seemed to get its footing, i was hoping for a third season.
Paramount lost a lot of shows with potential. I mostly liked Halo, and I loved Lower Decks. Better general quality to what's been coming out of Apple TV.
A shame, really.
Wait what there's a Halo show?
Just in name only. The show creator and producers proudly touted that they never played the game or followed any lore to influence their story. Like being absolutely alien to a thing is somehow a positive.
The show was largely it's own thing and did it's best to recycle the idea and names of things that exist in the universe into some other backstory and lore. It's awful and 2 seasons is one too many.
Like they dropped all the characters and locations into a pot and stirred it. Almost nonsensical.
The thumbnail’s funny because it looks like Chief is just hearing the news
At least they got one scene on the halo, otherwise it would have been a haloless halo.
I can't believe they got a second season
