Out of what 100? The chief is fucked. For some reason every refers to him as he has already destroyed the ring and earnt his legendary title. The characters are shit. The acting is shit. The story has nothing to do with the games. There's nothing in this show that would earn it a score of anything above 3.
@@zerobugden8464Sounds like you’re just being too much of a hater. Plus, the story isn’t like the games because this show takes place before the events in the games (also, the show isn’t meant to be canon). The characters are good. The acting is good. Also, Chief has always had his title. P.S. 75/100 is the same as 7.5/10, so I don’t understand what point you were trying to make there.
Its weird the relationship between the spartan teams. Not acting like they have all trained and fought together since they were six years old but seemingly dislike each other.
@@PeckhI’ve got a bad feeling that this is gonna be a genuine point of contention considering how willing Spartans were to kill each other in the first season
@@TheTraumaCentre They litterally respect the chief in the scene they are in. They compete over their numbers and preformance, complain about their higher ups, yet they all still refer to chief as "Chief" Remember that his name isnt actually chief.

11:09 lmao I had the same exact reaction when I first saw Makee. Kai did us all a favour by killing her in S1, that plotline should be done. Why did they bring her back 😭
Wasn't there a really long shot of her dead body just lying motionless on the floor in the last episode of season 1 as well? I think even the writers of the show wanted her dead last season 😂
I just cant get over the amount of plotlines, like I'm down with UNSC vs Covenant stuff. Internal UNSC vs ONI tensions? Sure. Then you have like Soren's plot, Kwan's plot, Chief's undercover plot, Chief's PTSD plot I guess? The Rizz physical therapy plot, Halsey in VR talking to Flash clones plot. Then the Forerunner artifact's and their importance thrown in, and of course the Spartan 3's later. Like Christ I get its more for a broader audience, but SURELY we could have focused on like 2 MAYBE 3 stories. There's just so much stuff nobody cares about ):
Absolutely. While writing the quick summary of episode 2 I was struggling to word it all properly because of how much it jumps around to different plot threads. I know they're all going to come together at the end, but it's a lot to keep track of. Soren's story easily could've wrapped up after he was trapped in episode 1. I don't think we really needed all that stuff with his wife after the fact. It led absolutely nowhere.
they confirmed in infinite that smells go through the helmet/suit, makes him more effective, also confirmed that cortana can use the data from the suit to simulate the smell for herself well (the weapon, a cortana clone)
Literally just this morning i was thinking "If noble team made first contact with the covenant on reach, then i wonder if theyll get a Cameo or Easter egg" nope, i can already tell that silver is gunns get that storyline. We wont get any of the beautiful/Atmospheric fall of reach or the Deaths of noble team Edit: Just finished downloading immediately needs a 2GB Update lmao Edit 2: Wrong Comment lmao
You know, there is a group of people whose first exposure to Halo was as a novel. They loved that novel so much that they consider it the real battle of Reach. Even more so than the game named after the planet. Meanwhile, we get this as a show. I don't see anyone excited for this.
The series cannot be salvaged, or they would need to just ignore the first season. Spartans aren't emotionless killing machines, Halsey isn't a sociopathic mad scientist, and Halo isn't about human vs human conflict. Halo is about humanity trying to survive a war with no hope, exploration of strange ruins and the Covenant's faith shaking. (Also Forerunners were humans) EDIT: I see a lot of errors in the responses. 343I changed the lore when they took over, ignoring the original games and books. If you play HCE-2-3 and read Contact Harvest or Ghosts of Onyx, there's a lot of hints that the Forerunners were humans, which is confirmed at the end of Halo 3 by 343 Guilty Spark. That's the big twist, the Prophets ordered the extermination of their own "gods" in order to protect the lie of their religion and save their place at the top. If you read Operation First Strike or Ghosts of Onyx, you would see that Halsey was never a sociopath, she appears cold outside but deep down she's actually quite empathic, which made her character very interesting. Spartans weren't emotionless either. It's 343I who didn't understand that and rewrote Halsey as a shallow mad scientist and Spartans as emotionless killing machines.
Well actually there is a lot of backstabbing in halo in between high ends of humans politics, oni and unsc, Halsey is a bit of a sociopatic mad scientist
YIKES BROTHER. I was excited to mention that i think Cobalt team is a play on Blue Team but now it doesn't matter. Here we go again, same train gonna wreck twice lmao.
Also, an unrevealed character Can show the emotional spectrum in more subtle ways. A movement, a gesture, a dip of the head. Chief has shown that in the game cutscenes. In the Rescue Cortana scene. In the Infinity Ending scene. Others. It's there. The emotion ...
5:29 this shot is so awkward its hilarious. Looks like something from one of my brother's joke parody movies he shot on a vhs recorder back in 2002. It looks like two random people just walked on set and they shot it in the loading dock of the local supermarket.
Thank you for continuing this. Unlike past time, i dont think i'll be able to watch this. Not that i should anyway. We were using my friends, sisters account lol. Situation changed and i dont want to make an account even if i get a free trial.
I watched it for free on freemoviesfull, but use it at your own risk, cos you get shitloads of pop-ups and idk if there's a risk of getting a virus or something. At least that way you're not funding paramount and their abysmal handling of the show
It feels like all halo is lately is just missed/wasted potential. The TV show, halo infinite, hell you can’t even find the Jazwares or mega construx figures unless you go to a discount store like Ross or pay crazy resale. The mismanagement is insane
I'm not surprised that Makee and Kwan was still her here, the developers made it clear that they are going to continue here. our hope is that either made they make their characters or story arc better over time or they relegate them to more of a B plot that can be quickly resolved sooner than later. The Soft reboot was more in regards that they said you don't actually need to watch Season 1 to get into Season 2 so far I agree, if I didn't see season 1 and just look at 2 only with 1's baggage, I can look at Kwan story as a B plot that deals with the civilian population outlooks of hte war and with Makee as just a mysterious human figure that so far doesn't reveal anything right now
From what writing advice I learned, if a story doesn't hook your audience right from the get-go or close to it, I think that story has already failed on multiple levels.
The fact that they brought in Ackerson and have him running the Spartan program instead of trying to shut it down like he did in the books is annoying. If you’re going to just take characters for memberberries, I have no respect for your show.
@@DangerVillehe is also trying to supplant the program with expendable Spartan 3s based on the trailers so Ackerson ironically is the best part and the most faithful aspect of the TV show, played by an actor who’s a Halo fan no less.
I thought the opening episodes were pretty good, the action was great, the characterisation of the Spartans was perfect, but the side characters were pretty boring. Tonally it’s far better than S1. Glad they got rid of those emotional inhibitor nonsense. The marketing department has done an amazing job convincing people that it’s going to be completely different to S1, it’s very much a continuation of that. It’s better, but it’s not exactly reinvented.
I'm afraid season 2 is more of the same. The mystique and reverence(?) of Chief is there for a reason. Not to promote another franchise, but Manadalorian has shown that you can preserve the unknown nature of a character and still be relevant ...
I did like some of the details such as "I'm blue" which is an actual military term utilized for friendly fire (typically called Green vs Blue) however there was ALOT that I didn't like. The first two that come to mind would be: 1. The chief saying "they disappeared" instead of mentioning any type of cloaking tech or anything else. 2. Chief getting tired after a light engagement with a few swords. The Master Chief is a super soldier designed to not be fatigued. He only got fatigued after fighting through the flood in the library. overall, the show is moving swiftly, but I'd perfer to skip kwan, and... well... the majority of the show if I can keep getting episodes focused on the main plot. And the show seems to be better when you turn your brain off.
3:10 to be fair, the covenant do this constantly, all throughout Halo lore. Usually its to "get a forerunner artifact" or something. But usually its just a thinly veiled excuse to have the spartans fight something
Oh, yeah, no, I wasn't critiquing that. That's a genuine plot point in the show. Chief points it out to Keyes and Ackerson who both couldn't care less. Probably should've made that more clear in my voice over!
The whole series so far would be solved if the UNSCs most important asset EVER... Had a bodycam. You're telling me with all those sensors in that helmet, ONI couldn't recover any data from it? Even that asside, the sheer ignorance and motivation for ignoring Jimmy is pure idiot plot. The action and cinematography is at least easier on the eyes
Idea! The halo tv show is just in universe propaganda, that's why mister cheeks takes his helmet off. and also why he even considers banging a spy. The whole thing is a unsc propaganda program to get people to stop questioning the origins of the Spartan program
Honestly, my biggest problem with the show is that when it's good, it's pretty darn good... but when it's bad, it's really, really... really f*cking bad. And it's usually bad.
Guys, please dont hate watch this show. Do not support this show in any way. They don't deserve our views or our time for desecrating our favourite stories and characters.
So I watch. Season 2 with 2 episodes. No, there were stuff that I liked and stuff that didn't mate sends first off. I love they added the Grapple shot from Hill infinite and see the arbiter look So Good. He definitely feels like a halo wars arbiter with a little bit of Halo 2 arbiter, but season 2 were. What is a little off a little bit but honestly. I'll give it a little bit of credit though
I don't know what to say. I don't know how she survived like honestly. I thought she was dead in the last episode of season one. What the heck how the heck did She survived like she can't be a clown like AI I'm speechless. I was literally standing up and saying no. No, no like why like I don't know what's happening. I feel like I'm dreaming, am I dreaming? But either way, I thought the arbiter was fine. I loved how merciless and brutal he is honestly that's what I focused on but for starters, sometimes tells me this is not gonna go well for the rest of the other seasons. I have batting you so strapping when the next season's come in
they did it they fixed the halo tv show. 1000x more interesting story. combat S tier. love everyones characters who knew if you give these actors good writing they can have amazing performances. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING IM SO EXCITED. NEW SHOWRUNNER KNOWS HIS STUFF AND GREAT NEW CHARACTER JAMES ACKERSON.
It really doesn’t matter how good the second season is. The first season was so bad to the point where there is no possibility for recovery. It’s like getting a second season of Velma. It will always be attached to the first pile of infectious shit.
18 seconds. This is a fuckin record for me. Last time I was this early..... edit: 10:30 reaction was the funniest shit I ever heard. hmmh mmm hmmm hahah .....FUCK 💀
That scene went so hard. That's how they get ya. Hook you in with a solid opening and then follow it up with more of the same that we all know and loathe.
The craziest Easter Egg nobody is talking about: You can tell they’re in new Alexandria because of that one tower that you could get the pelican from if you pressed the secret button. I actually lost my mind when I saw that in the background as they flew past it to vizagrad relay
@@LaperLarden love your videos by the way. I love humour and the way you can be critical but in a light hearted way rather than the doom merchants that thrive on some parts of the Internet. Thanks for all your hard work.
It’s confusing. I have to watch recaps to understand what is going on. I just want to see arbiter. The best part of halo was seeing arbiter question his faith and the bromanship he and chief developed.
The genuine only thing I can say I liked in these 2 eps was Vannak saying he likes to watch animal documentaries, but thats simply cause he had 0 character in the last season.
Can someone please explain to me what's with all these new shows coming out with the titles of previous movies or shows and then having nothing to do with any of the previous movies or shows or in this case games. Like wtf?!? Fuck this showing for shitting on decades of peoples memories. Its so goddam rude to do this. You can tell they aren't even fans of the games either.
This show gives me a bad taste in my mouth. Im not all too excited. This show has everything that halo stands against. AND why the fuck is Kwan still alive. I'd rather see her die by an energy sword. Like father like daughter right? Also i thought chief and Makee died or it was implied. Is this the modern star wars treatment but with halo where you just come back from the dead despite having life threatening wounds.
If makee is in it. Im not watchng it and probably swearing off halo forever. Whole franchise is basically warping what halo used to be anymore. Now they completely defile the original story, expose it to those who have never played the games, and justify it by saying ita a different timeline. The whole purpose of adapting something into a tv show is to expose a story chereshed by a large group of fans to wider audience. Im just done with being sad and angry over what they did to the series i used to love.
I lost it after mastercheeks sat down with some randos for a dinner, ONI are dogshit in this show, cheeks is still a cry baby, ackerson is interesting, vanik is the only decent Spartan in this show although that cobalt team in the bathroom was cool, the only good thing from both episodes was the Spartan board with the different teams, man I was hoping we would see noble team but atleast we saw omega, sigma and cobalt Also I skipped every Kwan scene
I mean he sat down for dinner because he wanted to confront Perez for lying to Akerson, but had enough tact not to do it in front of her family. Seriously, what’s wrong with that scene?
i wonder if theyre gonna do something about spartan 3's since ackerson is the guy who did that whole thing. i also recognize the name perez but i dont know if thats from the lore or something else entirely
In the latest trailer you see S-iiis fighting with SPI on. Perez I think is from halo 2..? There was a marine named Perez but the marine was male in the game
Well I’m glad I never got to see this series and probably never will. Paramount needs to suffer with destroying the source material and making fun of it in the process of terrible writing.
I enjoyed Season 1, despite its flaws, and am loving the direction of Season 2. I actually am not desirous of a 1:1 reproduction of the books or games, in part because certain parts of the lore aren't necessarily all that compelling themselves. Folks who tout their "purity" credentials need to realized that Halo has been forged by committee for some 20+ years in order to sell an IP. No book was "canon" until it was published, and just because it *was* published, doesn't mean it was necessarily *good.* This is not to say that I don't enjoy the games and many of the books, because I do, but folks here are taking themselves and their zeal a bit too seriously.
There is still a chance they can salvage the season. If Makees only purpose is to be betrayed and killed by the prophets after they get their use out of her, it could work to set up the Halo 2 Truth (not the psycho Truth from H3) who’s easily one of the GOAT villains in any video game narrative. If they use the artifact to “blind” jump to Halo at the conclusion of the season in a panic to flee the Covenant, it actually solves quite the plot convenience of the somehow blindly jumping to 1 of 7 rings in CE. As far as how they’re handling chief and silver team, the Halo 4 theme of “which one of us is the machine” seriously appeals to a larger audience, so while I’m not the biggest fan of it, it brings in the numbers. In other words, I’m wheezing on this hopium.
I completely forgot to give Episode 1 a rating! 7.5/10.

If only Spartan Riz(z) had been on Sigma team. Maybe there's a Spartan named Chad instead.
I am enjoy the season 2, there are a lot of change .
I don't know what to say. I don't know how she survived like honestly. I thought she was dead in the last episode of season one. What the heck how the heck did She survived like she can't be a clown like AI I'm speechless. I was literally standing up and saying no. No, no like why like I don't know what's happening. I feel like I'm dreaming, am I dreaming? But either way, I thought the arbiter was fine. I loved how merciless and brutal he is honestly that's what I focused on but for starters, sometimes tells me this is not gonna go well for the rest of the other seasons. I have batting you so strapping when the next season's come in
Episode 1: "Eh. Could be worse."
Episode 2: "My God. Why..."
Thank fk I came here first, would rather watch this then the series
they did it they fixed the halo tv show. 1000x more interesting story. combat S tier. love everyones characters who knew if you give these actors good writing they can have amazing performances. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING IM SO EXCITED. NEW SHOWRUNNER KNOWS HIS STUFF AND GREAT NEW CHARACTER JAMES ACKERSON.
was that Harry's Moving Media Refference?
I think it is salvageable though. Some heavy editing could make it decent
Jurassic Park reference approved.
If it’s supposed to be better than season one, when will they introduce Noble Team
It really doesn’t matter how good the second season is. The first season was so bad to the point where there is no possibility for recovery. It’s like getting a second season of Velma. It will always be attached to the first pile of infectious shit.
18 seconds. This is a fuckin record for me. Last time I was this early.....
edit: 10:30 reaction was the funniest shit I ever heard.
hmmh mmm hmmm hahah .....FUCK
💀
only time the show had me going holy shit was when the village got glassed but other than that this still isnt the halo we all love
That scene went so hard. That's how they get ya. Hook you in with a solid opening and then follow it up with more of the same that we all know and loathe.
The craziest Easter Egg nobody is talking about: You can tell they’re in new Alexandria because of that one tower that you could get the pelican from if you pressed the secret button. I actually lost my mind when I saw that in the background as they flew past it to vizagrad relay
I cannot express how much I hate this show.
They ruined the relationship between chief and cortana
Anyone else notice Madrigal got glassed. Does that mean all the plot is just deleted?
Well, with Kwan still alive, I think it'll continue in some way.
@@LaperLarden was the monitor thingy we saw supposed to be on Madrigal?
@@ErikLosLobos The one that came out of the hole in the ground? Yep. That was on Madrigal. Guess it's a bunch of glass now lmao.
@@LaperLarden love your videos by the way. I love humour and the way you can be critical but in a light hearted way rather than the doom merchants that thrive on some parts of the Internet. Thanks for all your hard work.
It’s confusing. I have to watch recaps to understand what is going on. I just want to see arbiter. The best part of halo was seeing arbiter question his faith and the bromanship he and chief developed.
The genuine only thing I can say I liked in these 2 eps was Vannak saying he likes to watch animal documentaries, but thats simply cause he had 0 character in the last season.
See you guys when articles titled "Halo TV Show canceled by Paramount" start popping up near the end of the year.
Can someone please explain to me what's with all these new shows coming out with the titles of previous movies or shows and then having nothing to do with any of the previous movies or shows or in this case games. Like wtf?!? Fuck this showing for shitting on decades of peoples memories. Its so goddam rude to do this. You can tell they aren't even fans of the games either.
This show gives me a bad taste in my mouth. Im not all too excited. This show has everything that halo stands against. AND why the fuck is Kwan still alive. I'd rather see her die by an energy sword. Like father like daughter right? Also i thought chief and Makee died or it was implied. Is this the modern star wars treatment but with halo where you just come back from the dead despite having life threatening wounds.
Just got home from work and watched the first 2 episodes on the way home, been waiting what you thought abt it....BY THE RINGS THIS IS TOO MUCH
If makee is in it. Im not watchng it and probably swearing off halo forever. Whole franchise is basically warping what halo used to be anymore. Now they completely defile the original story, expose it to those who have never played the games, and justify it by saying ita a different timeline. The whole purpose of adapting something into a tv show is to expose a story chereshed by a large group of fans to wider audience. Im just done with being sad and angry over what they did to the series i used to love.
I forwarded 40 percent of episode 1 and 80 percent episode 2 that says a lot about how much useless side story there is
I lost it after mastercheeks sat down with some randos for a dinner, ONI are dogshit in this show, cheeks is still a cry baby, ackerson is interesting, vanik is the only decent Spartan in this show although that cobalt team in the bathroom was cool, the only good thing from both episodes was the Spartan board with the different teams, man I was hoping we would see noble team but atleast we saw omega, sigma and cobalt
Also I skipped every Kwan scene
I mean he sat down for dinner because he wanted to confront Perez for lying to Akerson, but had enough tact not to do it in front of her family. Seriously, what’s wrong with that scene?
Anyone else dislike the new cortana design in season 2 ?
Every step of the way my thought was "this sounds awful" who wants any of this from Halo? None of this sounds like halo. I may not even watch tomorrow
i wonder if theyre gonna do something about spartan 3's since ackerson is the guy who did that whole thing. i also recognize the name perez but i dont know if thats from the lore or something else entirely
In the latest trailer you see S-iiis fighting with SPI on. Perez I think is from halo 2..? There was a marine named Perez but the marine was male in the game
Well I’m glad I never got to see this series and probably never will. Paramount needs to suffer with destroying the source material and making fun of it in the process of terrible writing.
At least Halo: Infinite and the TV show share one thing in common, both being missed opportunities
Also Madrigal was glassed so plus
Sucks to be Kwan.
I enjoyed Season 1, despite its flaws, and am loving the direction of Season 2. I actually am not desirous of a 1:1 reproduction of the books or games, in part because certain parts of the lore aren't necessarily all that compelling themselves.
Folks who tout their "purity" credentials need to realized that Halo has been forged by committee for some 20+ years in order to sell an IP. No book was "canon" until it was published, and just because it *was* published, doesn't mean it was necessarily *good.*
This is not to say that I don't enjoy the games and many of the books, because I do, but folks here are taking themselves and their zeal a bit too seriously.
Comment 125, trash is becoming mid! Let's give this show the worse bronze trophy we can find.
Revoked that trophy! Just give the show literal $hit
It's an improvement but it's not hard to improve on garbage.
Can’t stand how they take already established things that have been done in the canon wayyyy better and choosing to warp and make them awful
Do you call him master cheeks for the show version?
Yup 🎉
There is still a chance they can salvage the season. If Makees only purpose is to be betrayed and killed by the prophets after they get their use out of her, it could work to set up the Halo 2 Truth (not the psycho Truth from H3) who’s easily one of the GOAT villains in any video game narrative. If they use the artifact to “blind” jump to Halo at the conclusion of the season in a panic to flee the Covenant, it actually solves quite the plot convenience of the somehow blindly jumping to 1 of 7 rings in CE. As far as how they’re handling chief and silver team, the Halo 4 theme of “which one of us is the machine” seriously appeals to a larger audience, so while I’m not the biggest fan of it, it brings in the numbers.
In other words, I’m wheezing on this hopium.
Klaus Mikaelson is carrying the show
Yeah i knew tbis second season was gonns be as shit as Season 1. Fingers crossed the show gets cancelled after this season.
It ain't going to. If something as bad as season 1 didn't get the show canceled nothing will. Lol
It won't, boomers love the show. ( it's the only high budget SciFi series with ok action for them )
