Honestly, while it is obviously a bit coy on plot details, focusing more on looking pretty and showing off the characters, I think this series looks pretty promising. Seems to be taking place around the time of Fall of Reach, which is ideal.

Looking good and best of luck to all the Halo fans out there.

I bet you two to one that Movie Bob is already throwing up a baby fit, and talking about how the Halo TV series would suck, it wouldn't be as good as anything Marvel's putting out on the TV or whatever. Or how the lack of Chris Pratt makes the show worse.

Since you asked:
Bob, you lying, goal posting, sack of shit. As expected and not surprising. The system had nothing to do with it, you would still hate Halo, regardless if it was at top, the middle, or bottom. The only ones he has fooled are those that are already deeper in the fan base and ignore all his bull crap.

Not sure about subscribing to paramount plus. Word is that paramount is not in a good place financial wise, and their moving away from big budgeted releases with the exception of profitable properties like transformers.

Looks good, but also, can I just say how pathetic it is for streaming services to just all call themselves BrandName+? I don't know if Disney was the first to do it, but when I hear Paramount+ I think its a parody or something.

We need ParamountX. Then they'll minus the X, and it'll be divided, because things don't add up.

I believe him. That doesn't sound like an improbable scenario.

Then you are ignorant and naive about Bob. The douchebag hass done this more times than anybody else has cared to count. Much less him. I suggest you start looking at the movie Bob destroying moment of suck page on TV tropes, or a lot of this past Twitter posts. Also, the man has stalked a woman on Twitter or Facebook, and tried to downplay the action and make it come off as a "misunderstanding" between "colleagues". Just beware what you find.

What's "this"? Lied?
Lied, backpedaling, immediate backtracking and turning into something else, and goal posting. Always extending the goal post. He's been doing this since his Screw Attack and early Escapist days.

"I didn't say like this. I only meant those idiots. I changed my mind for no reason other than street cred (Man of Steel). It's the frat boy douchebags that are everything that is wrong with gaming."


He nearly has a million of them at this point. Dude rarely ever keeps tracks of what he says. Either that, or he makes dumbass excuses for his bad or inconsistent opinions and tries to present them as "facts".

It looks.....fine? Keep in mind I'm pretty meh about Halo in general. I liked the whole history of the UNSC fighting a desperate delaying action against the covenant but the for the life of me I can't seem to get excited about anything that happens in the games. It's like there's this cool backstory of Humanity fighting an enemy they can't beat that's buried by a bunch of religious "Symbolism" I don't find particularly clever or interesting and the whole thing with Robo John and his virtual waifu. The only thing in the series I did find interesting got retconned pretty much immediatly, I heard(that being Cortana going Nanners and controlling a bunch of killer robots to keep the galaxy at "peace").

Also, yeah, Cortana looks....not great. Like they didn't even fucking try there. There's my hot take on this. Are you people happy now?

Sorry, this wasn't meant to be another episode of "Dalisclock doesn't particularly care much about Halo". It just kinda happened. I hope for the sake of the fans it ends up being at least somewhat entertaining.

Whatever, just wash your hands.
Well, I mean visually it looks good. I don't see how they can make a good story for it though. I mean, I guess it really depends on how it handles the covenant. If they are just brutal human killing monsters then it will almost certainly be boring, if they have some nuance like in Halo 2, then we may have something.
