Kolanaki, 11 miesięcy temu do games w Halo on Paramount+ has been canceled after only two seasons

The minute the show runners said that they did not play or care about the game before a single episode even aired, I knew it was going to suck balls.

If you don’t know or even care about the source material: you shouldn’t have the rights to make anything about it.

They knew enough to include a first-person fight scene, because that's what gamers wanna see.

Sounds like the Doom movie, which wasn’t originally written to be a Doom movie which is very apparent by not only a few unchanged lines of dialogue but also by the fact it was more like Resident Evil than it was like Doom.

I fuckin love that film though. The Rock’s best performance. The brief moment of transphobia can fuck right off though.

The quote from the showrunner, according to the article:

“We didn’t look at the game. We didn’t talk about the game. We talked about the characters and the world. So I never felt limited by it being a game.”

Looks like they should have looked at the game a little more closely.

“Limited by it being a game” is such a condescending thing to say. Just shows that these people look down on video games in general and most likely have little respect for the people who these games mean a lot to. I mean, that shows in this TV show, just based on the short bits I’ve seen. The Chief acts like a Stallone or a Tom Cruise stand-in, instead of a stoic warrior.

I can’t wait for an Elder Scrolls show helmed by these showrunners, the Witcher showrunners, and Alex Kurtzman

limited by being an interactive medium where the average narrative length is dozens of hours.

We need the unlimited story telling freedom enabled by passively watching disjoint chunks of ad-riddled content

Tbf, I bet Todd Howard would die before letting anyone else make an Elder Scrolls show. Especially with the success of the Fallout show.

I don’t even think that was the issue, the show was just fucking awful no matter how much or little it had to do with Halo.

I’m really surprised they made two seasons.

For a while streamers were doing this thing where they would renew a show for Season 2 before the Season 1 pilot even released. I guess it was a way to project confidence to the audience?? Or maybe just to get the production pipeline moving so there wouldn’t be 2+ years in between season releases.

Anyway, they did that with Halo…

I never thought I’d applaud the Netflix approach but it should have been used here. They should have just shut down production on season 2 when the first fell flat on its face.

Good riddance.

TIL there’s a Halo show

Maggoty, 11 miesięcy temu

No there isn’t. There’s also only 3 Indiana Jones movies.

And 6 Star Wars movies.

Crystal Skull honestly isn’t that bad. It’s way more fun to watch than Dial of Destiny imo.

Cause Harrison Ford could still do some stuff.

Maggoty, 11 miesięcy temu

I’m sorry there’s only The Lost Ark, The Temple of Doom, and The Last Crusade.
