A Fucking Idiot
I'll be that guy who says it, I dont care. Every character is female except for one black guy and Master Chief plays second fiddle in his own adaptation. Hard pass.
This shit is going to be like a lot of those marvel / dc series. Bunch of teen crap with a big spoon of woke sprinkled on top of it. I'm not enthusiastic.
Looked like a bunch of worms in the background grabbing stuff in a scene a character was walking by a window.Where was the Flood? I missed that.
Yeah, that's a good point. The Expanse started off very slowly, but it has become my favorite sci fi show ever. If reviews were only based off those first two episodes it might have scored similarly. Now my expectations for Halo are not as high. I'm just looking for something "fun" to watchIsn't that reflective of only the first two episodes? I wouldn't even consider those proper reviews, frankly.
This trailer looked good, and certainly impresses the production budget better than the first trailer. I'm keen to see what they've cooked up. If it's really, really bad, then 343 Industries can can breath easy knowing they're no longer the worst thing to happen to Halo.

As much as I find the presenter's YouTube voice annoying this Beyond The Trailer review is basically how I feel about the Halo show in so many ways before even seeing it.
That would be the sentient worm shit that makes up the HuntersLooked like a bunch of worms in the background grabbing stuff in a scene a character was walking by a window.
Not progressive enough. I expect someone who looks like Jim Sterling or whatever their name is now.I'm still; expecting MasterChief to take off his helmet, and its Eddie Izzard under it or something.

It’s the lady from the game. Same actress.Didn’t watch the whole video, but from a quick scrub it looked like a 1:5 ratio of showing Master Chief vs some rando character IDGAF about.
Also awful choice for Cortana…

To be fair to the show, nobody has seen more than just the first two episodes.Polygon sucks but are in the Xbox camp so that doesn't sound good.
I pay extra for Dolby Vision/Atmos so I am ready.
It's called "experience".Those shitting on it so early are being closed-minded and I'd argue, disingenuous.
She always points out if there isnt enough women, lgbt, or POC in movies
Paraphrasing - This show is all female characters, which is a weird choice given...most of the people who play Halo are male. Almost all of the main characters on this show are female. Good representation is a balancing act and this show has NO balance. Re-establish the brand in a new medium before you decide to expand the appeal of the brand. It's not like Halo doesn't have strong female characters, it certainly does. It's weird.
They showed media the first episode today and reviews are starting to hit.
Yep. She likes to beat that drumShe always points out if there isnt enough women, lgbt, or POC in movies
Look at where they are based. Highly liberal area. I think to many times people just surround themselves with likeminded people and create echo chambers. Then they wonder why their products don’t succeed.Someone didn't watch the video. She says this -
She is spot on. I feel this is where 343 miss so much of their core audience, the balance of the Halo audience is very male. Sure tip that balance but 343 consistently apply too much weight and pressure to the high side of the scales given their audience of the last decade plus.
Why did they even fuck with the blue team to silver team? Kelly and Linda were already part of blue team. To be further along the inclusive scale?
Because many modern TV shows think all the central emotional story beats should go to female characters and male characters just play derivative caricaturesMost of the cast are women lmao, in an Halo adaptation why????

Plenty of shows have had a good balance. Even shows in this genre like Battlestar GalacticaThe pendulum has swung too far the other way, but women had to put up with this shit for decades so can’t really complain without coming off as fragile. It’s a tricky one to discuss, but watching that trailer it immediately stands out just how unbalanced the casting is, and how little sense it makes given the context of making super Spartans
That means it's probably a banger. Always go oppo of the wokematometer.Who should we listen to?
Scratch that.

It was pretty good! Definitely in for the second EP.Looks far better than I expected. If you guys can't get into this trailer then just skip the show. Itll have limitations like any TV show. Looks pretty dang good.
