Something great ruined by being a fan.

Halo: Reach until I learned more details about the backstory.

Anyone who hasn't read Halsey's Journal, but did read the Fall of Reach, and then played Reach, will HATE the ending.

Yeah, same thing happend to my brother. After I gave him the first few Halo books to read (especially Ghost's of Onyx), he called bullshit on just about everything in that game.

If this post came around two months later I guarantee I'd be here talking about the Green Lantern movie.

I'm tempted to agree. I'm terrified of this movie. It could give (in my opinion) the greatest comic book hero ever a very bad name. The story looks like it's going to cram too much into it (Spider-Man 3 style) and Parallax looks like the Balrog

OT: The King Blues. The band who wrote the masterpiece "What If Punk Never Happened?" could never write shit like "We Are Fucking Angry", could they?! Apparently so, but I'm still going to disbelieve it

Perhaps being so underwhelmed about this movie might make it better to us when we go see it? Like all the hype was such a letdown for Phantom Menace might work in reverse here? Wait. Parallax? I haven't seen anything about him in there. Trying not to look at too much anyway so that might be good.

That's a nice, optimistic outlook, I'm gonna share it. Yeah in the extended, 4-minute trailer, there's a big yellow rock demon thing flying around, I'm almost certain it's Parallax. But how can the cram Parallax into a film that already clearly (and rightly) has Hector Hammond as the main antagonist? Are they also gonna have Parallax possessing Hal and Sinestro's betrayal? Are they going to cram like 60 years worth of canon into one film?!
