Episode 1: I’m Perez in communications and I can’t aim very well
Episode 5: I’m a spartan now
Perez's family dies "there's no training for this!!!"
2 weeks later : leads a team with tactics and watches them die in front of her but doesn't care that much.
The Spartan 3, they're not real people
That happened!? Fuck, i give up after the dumb and cheap first episode.
Sums it up perfectly. Cutting to Perez as a Spartan trainee shows the lack of logic in this show. Hell, it would fail if this was the Spartan-IVs! Even the IVs were pulled from the best of humanity. The beauty of the IIIs is they were war orphans given a shot at revenge against the covenant. Even if they were smaller and weaker than the IIs, they still spent their childhoods undergoing training and augmentation, being generally better than even the ODSTs, all to throw away their lives just to buy humanity time.
Season 3 we are all master cheeks 😂
Perez training for Spartan 3 is hilarious , she's a 5ft communication specialists. These writers shouldn't even write for Sesame Street.
She couldn't shoot, froze up in combat, outright lied about seeing a major event out of concern for 'they might not believe me'... cause that makes sense. Yeah thats top-tier special operations material there.
Cookie Monster would definitely kick arse in a Mjolnir suit.
The 3's are on average 7 foot tall. Also they say they stayed their height after augmentation. This isn't a custom fit suit they are wearing. It's a GI suit in comparison to Mjolnir. She wouldn't fit, she's not close to average height.
@@cappinjocj9316A normal humans can't use Mjolnir armour. it would allow movements that would rip your muscles and snap your bones. Master Chief is able to run 100 km per hour for a short amount of time but it will cost him dearly. If the suit can push him That hard it would utterly shatter an unaugmented normal human's body like a twig.
Qwon is gonna find chiefs suit before he does.
The chosen kwan
Omg this might actually happen.
@@nomaad000she's gonna want to try it on first like a little kid does
Kwan is the girl who is the key to all of it
Damnit don't say that, I can believe that happening 🤮🤮🤮
We have gone six episodes in season 2 and we have not seen ONE grunt and 15 total episodes with NO Hunter battle!
The grunts should have been the comedic relief. Should have simply been a war film show. Every show humanity loses more, gets pushed back, has to make sacrifices to buy time etc. The might of the Covenant is unstoppable. Only the Spartans can beat them with ease. But it's never enough. Follow the characters faithfully and follow the Covenant politics of the Great Journey. I mean, IT WAS ALL THERE. It could have been sooooo good. A 10-20 hour "movie" like Reach. And that story hits hard, but it would hit soooo much harder if it had the proper time to set the characters up and build tension, set the scene. It's so sad
We've been thru over half the show without even sniffing spartan armor... What more is there to say
@@m.taylor7025 leaving the series for good. 😢
Bro all I want is to see a fucken hunter what the fuck man.
I mean if it was good I would like to see the dark side of the unsc from before the covenant
This ain’t a budget issue it’s a show runner talent issue
Not a show runner issue either. It a producer issue. Her name is Kiki wolf kill and she’s the reason you got halo 5s campaign.
@F0xSH0X1 yoo I feel like we've been watching Halo 5 the whole time.
"Season2 is for the fans"...to finally realize the show isn't for them.
What a shame.
@@F0xSH0X1o really? Yeah halo 5 was when I stopped caring about the games.
I FUCKING love it when Alex goes on rants!
That shit was epic! 😆
He give the best feedback of the three when it comes to TV shows and movies. Angry Joe is giving too much benefit of the doubt and scores higher than deserved outside of video games.
Man when that mf gon get his suit back got damn
Based on the Episode 7 preview, likely next episode.
@@xCrimsonxTidexWe said the same thing previous episode lmao
The actor wants to show his face as much as possible lol
It's like a middle finger to us by now... "Oh you hated the no helmet thing? WELL WE'RE TAKING THE ARMOR AWAY TOO BECAUSE FUCK YOU!"
We experienced the fall of Reach, and not a single Spartan was in Mjolnir... like, wut??
Everything Pablo Schreiber told Kai about Makee being alive and the covenant being on reach was admitted to be true by Ackerson when he spoke to Kai, so wouldn’t that mean everything Pablo told her was true and yet she continued to go and beat him up…Wtf writing is this.
Thank you for calling him Pablo and not Chief
@@jacobwhelan45 Love it, its not Chief for sure, not even the armor is there.
Exactly. Unbelievably lazy writing.
I love that "beat down scene"...
Complete dog shit tier writing and non of the scene makes any sense...
Jimmy Rings: ONI is lying I need to find Boss lady
Kai: I need to take you in
Jimmy: You're more than a spartan, I need to go now. Translation=[Lol don't take orders, commit treason dumbass].
Jimmy: Tries to forcefully move past Kai... Translation=[Move B' Get out the way, I mean business here]
Kai: *Stops Master Cheeks, Throws him in a show of force*
Jimmy: [Paraphrasing] But kai we are besties, please commit treason and let me go...
Kai: No.
Jimmy: *Walks towards here with intent*
Kai: *Yeets Master Cheeks into a steel wall*... - Kai should just arrest him here not break his spine.
[This is where the writers killed their last braincells] - Jimmy Rings doesn't stand a chance against Mjolnir.
Kai: I'm in mjolnir retard - You can't fight me
Jimmy: I'm not going to fight you [WELL WHY THE FUCK DID THE WRITERS MAKE YOU CHALLEGE HER TWICE THEN]...
Jimmy: Halsey and Oni bad, They kidnapped us *Disapointed sad face*
[Now the writers really shit the bed]
Jimmy: *Stands there talking*
Kai: *Right hook into the ribs* [The fuck - Why are you breaking his bones and risking organ damage when you can just arrest him]
Jimmy: Owchee... *Kneels in pain*
Kai: sTaY dOwN! *Knees him in the sternum* [Writter/Director - He IS down u retards... kai probably just shattered his rib cage and stopped his heart]
Jimmy: Long stream of words about treason
[Litterally just straight up Treason and promoting complete insubordination... Seriously How does the character of "Chief" come back from this...]
Kai: Litterally Spartan Kicks him across the room [By the sounds of it the chief is now a fleshy bag of organs with no skeleton to speak of]
Jimmy: *Somehow stands* Continues to berate Kai's character despite her being the first one to rebel against the "spartan programming" in the first place...
Kai: Carge Tackles him into metal cabinets [RIP Organs]... Then literally bounces his head off another metal cabinet and chokes him...
Jimmy: *Somehow conscious* Wheres the girl i grew up with [You mean the brainwashed emotionally impaired robots you all were? WRITERS ARE CLUELESS]
Kai: Throws him over another metal cabinet... [Sure Oni's tech guys and budget are going to be pleased about this damage after already loosing a "Capital Planet"]
Jimmy: *Is still moving, Conscious, breathing and alive*
Kai: Please Stop this... [Master Cheeks literally hasn't done a single since you started mercilessly beating him - Writters are retarded as they come]
Jimmy: *Stands* I get it - You have orders - *Looks at camera*
Kai: *Grabs him, looks at camera, Raises fist [I guess shes ordered to punch him for no reason]*
Jimmy: Do it.
Kai: *Doesn't punch him - Implied she doesn't wan't to*... *Then backhands him Fullforce across the room* [ Causing Way more damage than a punch in the process].
Kai: * Just fucking leaves *
Absolute braindead writing, no logic here at all...
We then find out Ackerson sent a black ops team in to "Finish what kai started"...
So they wan't to execute Master Cheeks anyway? - What was the fucking point of all that then... you could have put a bullet in his head many times from his capture yet here we fucking are...
FUCK THESE WRITERS AND DIRECTORS
Exactly! AND what was the point of beating up chief ?!?! The orders were obviously to kill him...
Yet she didn't follow orders and after the fight was over they turned off the video monitor before sending in special forces...
MAKES NO SENSE
how did perez become a spartan 3 in 3 days. she went from comms engineer to pilot to spartan in a flash
“You are what you believe you are… never give up!”
Mary Sue?
@therotten6152"Bad writers" if you blame woke Hollywood for everything they'll never improve, they'll just blame you Dipshits and to "Oh it's just a bunch of incels mad at women"
Oh holy Christ we are REALLY diverging from the lore with these dollar store Spartan 3s....
Aren't the three series supposed to be kidnapped teens?
@@NaruneWatercrest bet that is why Soren’s son was kidnapped, everyone else was recruited but the little boy
I still cannot understand why they made Cortana look like that.
Because everybody complained about it the same way they are now all Because they couldn't get what they wanted
Because if Cortona looks attractive it’s sexism 🤡
That’s how these people think
She looks like she is a HR supervisor for some fortune 500 company who asks to speak to the manager at starbucks.
Bullcrap, we didnt want Qwan and Macee and they're still there. We wanted more armor and they gave us less. They don't care about what fans or complain about. This actress was probably cheaper.@@detroitmade6
Cortana was only thing I was ok with it
Perez being a Spartan make no sense, maybe SIV yea but a SIII they were children taken in after they lost their families on world the covenant glassed
Yeah... They didn't do SIII justice. In the books these guys are freaking badasses. But even in the lore it makes me sad. The UNSC invests and train them for years just to go on suicide mission. Most of them didn't even have a second mission. The SIII were used one time.
I dont know the story of the games, but just from a show perspecive, how is this supposed to make sense? Surely no more than a few weeks have passed since Reach and somehow Perez is in the Spartan 3 program? How? She has at best trained for a month, thats nothing.. Arent these people supposed to be elite super soldiers?
@@MaMastoast Yeah they fucked that up, the S3s were orphans who willingly joined the Spartans to get revenge
@@Captianmex1C0 I mean I guess I can see Perez join the program now.. But then I'd expect her to be ready in at best a few years.
@@MaMastoast yeah I agree, Makes no sense that they're called "Spartans" and got the Mirage armor days into training
We went from asking to keep his helmet on last season to hold my beer he has no suit 💀
6:03 I know I haven’t watched the whole review yet but… did anyone else facepalm when Halsey reunited with her daughter and DIDNT start with “hey your dads dead” but instead started bitching about research? 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I completely forgot about that but thank you for reminding me.
That soo true , only out would be if Perez told her or something. But you would expect his wife to say something 😂
1 of 100s of facepalms in that episode alone
@@keeshawnn6741 indeed and honestly I am surprised Perez didn't tell about Keyes her father is dead and buried.
I mean, it's kind of in line with her character tho. She's a person that is so involved in her work that she's basically subhuman.
"Tell us you still hate the fans without telling us you still hate the fans."
Halo Season 2:
There's only two types of video game live action adaptations.
1. Adaptations that do their own things while still respecting the source material.
2. Adaptations that do their own thing because they have no respect for the source material.
I dunno, The Last of Us stuck very close to the source material and that one got a claim from both fans and normies. There's a path to do things the right way, but it seems like these fuckers are determined to burn the franchise down.
@@RyneLanders well last of us was basically a tv show in video game skin, full of dialogue and drama in the way a tv show would be, so the amount needed to be adapted was very little, then you look at Castlevania and they had very little to go off of so they have to do their own thing while still keeping characters and big plot points in tact. Last of Us is barely a game adaptation, because the game had very little game and was mostly story anyway, so its a bit of an outlier.
I agree. It's why I like Sonic the Hedgehog a lot. It was a adaptation while respecting the source material. This show..... does not respect the material at all.
Yeah thats about right.
@@RyneLanders the last of us was already a movie-game to begin with unlike the others, Halo is very much gameplay focused, so adapting it is not that easy, probably doing a movie instead of a tv series would be waaaay better, halo doesnt fit with tv writing at all
They are butchering as many plotlines as possible. They like "oh you was mad the chief took his helmet off. Hold that helmet for season 2. He aint even going to wear his armor"
My blind and deaf friend really likes the show.
Nah even a blind and deaf person can tell this show is TERRIBLE
Just like the normie clowns
I am still pissed off and angry that halo fall of reach storyline got rushed for this terrible plot line that makes no sense whatsoever, also I don’t care about quan or any of these characters who all I want to go away and frankly I am tired of this nonsense with this halo show.
Why did they feel the need to put magic into Halo? I just don't get it. The whole shamanism crap is so out of place.
It's so that characters like Kwan can become powerful with no effort. It's lazy writing.
Sgt. Kwanson let's go!
The needed a strong female Asian character. The DEI is strong in this show.
Because this trash was probably written for a Mass Effect show, only to do an asset flip with the Halo IP. This is what happens when people with money don't care about an establish franchise and actively hire individuals who literally hate it. *Glares at Frank O'Connor's dumbass*
@@metalgearstud1
So if it was a white, hetero male would it make a difference? No it wouldn't. It's just terrible writing, so your comment is stupid.
Who else believes that the Halo installation won't even have the same purpose as in the game.
I wouldn’t put it past them to completely change the reason why the rings exist to begin with. I’ll be surprised if they stick to it, but I’ll be even more surprised if this show even gets a third season.
I see them trying to push the endless more than the flood.
Yes the rings will drastically change.
considering its not based on the games and is a completely different timeline then mayeb
oh 100% it won't, it'll be it's own thing cause Flood = expensive CGI and they only have that for a few action scenes to get Joe happy and keep watching. They already killed off not-Keyes and are doing covenant civil war stuff, so it's clear things'll change especially with the whole stupid destiny/chosen humans stuff (and characters like Kwan and that Covenant girl) going on.
They should’ve just forked out cash to have Blur create a beautiful cgi masterpiece that’s faithful to the lore
Imagine Blur h1, reach, h3 graphics 😍
That's what I was thinking like what is wrong with CGI when that's with all this is based on anyway?!
Literally when Halsey said "Can we skip this part" I was in the middle of skipping forward 30 seconds 😂😂😂
me too
Lol. The joys of watching off an SSD - it takes me about 15 minutes to get through each episode of this show (and most of the other woke sh!t churned out now).
Even Halsey is over this lame ass show.
Every episode, Alex slouches a little lower as his soul is sucked out of from within him having watched more Halo TV
o7 stay strong soldier
Michael Jackson comment had me dying
😂😂😂😂
Dave Chappelle's wife is Michael Jackson, teehee.
that was harsh
same😂
I can't unsee it now
I tapped out on the show but I’m here for the reviews 😂 thanks for suffering for us
The door code that Cortana hacked was “1111” very creative
Lmao you're right. But I'm mostly glad it wasn't "1337" or something else dumb. I wouldn't put it past this show to think something like that would've been a "cool reference for gamers"
Seeing Alex getting more depressed for each Halo review makes me sad 🫡
Lmao, dude is going to be under the desk or back to camera doing something behind OJ.
Stolen Valor be like
He's totally wrong.
Alex is 100% correct. This show sucks.
I feel like Alex's opinions align with mine more than the Joe's who give too much benefit of the doubt to garbage TV shows/movies. I appreciate the sacrifices he makes to give honest feedback since I refuse to give trash like this my time and/or money.
The Great Schism?! In this part of the galaxy, at this point in the timeline, involving this cast of supporting characters, localized entirely on this one ship?!
Yes!
By the Rings, this is too much!
In the helmetless-magic-shamanism filled silver timeline universe, anything can happen....
"May I see it?"
"... No."
Were it so easy.
Best part of this episode is when Pablo Schreiber is on the floor all bloody and beat up admitting he’s not the Master Chief
He was up against a girl so the only option of course was complete and utter submission. Sigh...Hollywood.
LMFAO this show is f*cking trash
This season has been phenomenal. They are just ridiculously over critical.
@@skyhunter2816 I think you meant "abysmal".
@@skyhunter2816Nah, you just have incredibly low standards
Shogun reviews needed so Alex can have some hope in TV shows still
No one involved ever served in military, hence they got no idea about it really is.
These showrunners idea of what military culture and discipline is makes me cringe. It gives me Disney channel vibes.
When Soren told Chief you don’t even have your armor , I thought forsure Chief was gonna say I don’t need it 😂😂😂
The conversation between Chief and Kai was so insanely dumb. He literally tells her the truth, after thinking he was dead. She then just mindlessly talks about the covenant girl without asking any other questions and ignoring that her fellow spartan was killed. Then to just proceed to beat the shit out of him and then to leave him after knocking him out to then say to ackerson that she believes Chief. THEN WHY THE FUCK DID SHE BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HIM. The writers are just mind numbingly stupid its actually unreal.
“Spartans never die”
Moments later
“We’re going to die!”
Chief is gonna be running around buck ass naked by the end of the series
Lol!
That is how he will arrive on Halo, by way of teleporter.
@@maineiacmanhonestly wouldn’t surprise me one bit
He's gonna spread his cheeks in front of gravemind to subvert expectations
Makee will peg him on Halo while giving birth.
So master chief STILL isn’t wearing his damn armor.
Pablo Schreiber sucks.
it could be worse tho, at least we didnt saw his ass or him clappin' cheeks of a weird Covenant Lady.
Budget and practicality of filming
@@Pooh0Bear8it doesnt cost extra budget for him to wear the damn suit
@@9mmtrillahe look goofy
So the Spartan III's are Spartan IV's but worse. That makes 2 Spartan generations they dropped the ball on
Exactlyyyy like Perez if anything should be auditioning for odst not the spartan program
I don't watch the show but I'm confused by this statement. Wouldn't spartan 4 models naturally be better than 3?
@@coletrainhetrick think of it like spartan 4s has more simulation training than actual combat and less hands on experience with overall combat I could be mistaken though
@@Sandersss57 ah yeah, that's a pretty good explanation, thanks.
@@Sandersss57 Spartan IVs have more combat experience, they're all former marines or ODSTs from the Human-Covenant War. The Spartan IIIs were child soldiers
You know you failed at adapting halo when master chief, humanity’s shinning beacon, has fought on screen as many humans as covenant
Lmao read a book, his fought a lot of humans before the covenant.
@@joshuareiss9430 🙄
🤦🏾♂️ yes... Spartans weren't originally created to fight the covenant@@joshuareiss9430
Dumest scene: Kwan jumping from a deadly height, blidly into a well and being saved by a light then coincidently meeting Halsey
Dumest line: "Tea, like empires, centuries of work can be undone by the smallest of oversights"
Not particularly looking forward to this episode, but here goes.
^ Good - Opening was interesting, space, Spartans, mission, VR Reveal
^ Good - I am interested in what Kai is doing training Spartans
- Bad - Parangosky - I do not buy her as a high ranking military official, I find her acting as if she is remembering lines
- Bad - The stupid monologue about tea.
- ok - Ackerman and Kai scene
- Bad - Soren's wife, bad acting
- Bad - Forced fight scene. What's going on here? why does this military group of 10 men open fire when they see a girl (Kwan?) why is Chief choosing to take on 10 soldiers, unarmed? I see now, because the script wants Chief to be captured so they had to engineer a stupid scenario.
- Bad - of course super Kwan evades all the soldiers
- Bad - Now they are split the writers can split this episode into a ton of terrible side quests
- Bad - Don't care about Kwan's supernatural spiritual bs
- Bad - Not even Kwan is stupid enough to jump into a well, you cant see the bottom and have no reason to think there is any other way out.
- Bad - Kwan saved from a 40meter fall by light? why is there light at the bottom of a well?
- Bad - Halsey coincidently happens to be at the bottom of the well at the exact moment Kwan arrives there.
- Bad - Pretty much no reaction from Halsey or Kwan to antigravity light that saved Kwan's live
- Bad - of course the soldiers completely give up on following Kwan because she went into a well, and there is no way they can follow her
^ Good - Scene with Makee, the covenant priest wanting to kill her
- Bad - I feel like they have A, B, C, D, and E plots in this episode and they keep switching every 2 minutes
- Good - Kai students, teacher storyline is ok
^ Good - Finally back to Chief, he has been captured!
^ Good - Good fight scene with chief but also dumb that not a single one of eight armed soldiers managed to shoot Chief
- Bad - A PLANET was just invaded and destroyed by the covenant but Parangosky and Ackerman seem more concerned with cheif?
^ Good - Ackerman trying to corrupt Kai against Chief
^ Good - Makee and Cortana, not a huge fan of Makee but at least we are talking about Halo
- Bad - Huge scene where chief exits a room, looks at a sign, then an elevator, which takes 40 seconds, then back to a different storyline
- Bad - Kwan and Halsey wondering around underground, Halsey notices the layout has changed, scene lasts 50 seconds then back to...
- Bad - Chief needs a scene with Kai and who should appear so of course its Kai who finds chief
^ Good - Chief vs Kai is sorta good, I don't like how they got here, I don't really buy Kai would trust Ackerman over Chief, but I like the way Chief tried to win her back and the use of the security cameras.
- Ackerman, parangosky, I just don't believe these high ranking military officials wouldn't be absolutely focused on an alien race wiping out humanity but instead they are absolutely focused on the actions of one spartan
- Good - Finally! actually some kind of military command room for, you know the threat of human exstinction from an more powerful alien race!
- Bad - this stupid line "Data wave outside our spectrum, high volume, tracking point of origin, our communications may be compromised"
- Bad - What motive has Parangosky got to make everyone leave the war room? and presumably no one there was doing anything important in this WAR if she can just tell them to leave
- Bad - How did parangosky know it was Cortana, why does she want to keep it a secret
- good - to see master chief and Cortana back together and she is distracting Parangosky etc.
- Bad - so wait? after refusing the let master chief leave, and beating da frek out of him, Kai leave master chief alone
- Bad - cortana is concerned about being remembered? huh?
- Bad - Halsey meets woman from season 1
- bad - back to Soren storyline for 40 seconds
^ Good - Kai vs Ackerman she finally shows she really believes chief
- Good - Chief and Cortana get to the artifact
- Bad - the code for the door securing the most valuable artifact know to man was 11111
- Good - Priest doesn't trust Makee , arbiter sides with Makee, makee and Chief approach the artifacts together...
- Bad - when it finally gets to the most interesting part of the episode... black screen this annoys me more than it makes me look forward to the next episode
Kai, her students and trust issues and finally siding with Chief was obvious as hell but one of the better storylines
Cheif getting awkwardly captured, escaping, reuniting with Cortana briefly and getting to the artifact ok i guess
Covenant and Makee scenes were ok
Rest was junk
4/10 for me, below average, what really happened this episode? Kai trusts chief again maybe, chief got captured, escaped and touched an artifact, Makee stayed alive.
good analysis mate.
The writting is really starting to fall apart...
Why are ONI so concerned with Cheif anyway... His only concern is human assets.
Having his first moral battle with command decisions after his pellet is gone is place for some real conflict:
All they had to do was flag him as an extreme security risk [One of the Best Spartan 2s unpredictable and unstable is more than enough motive], Kai could have easily been convinced of the risk and apprehended him...
All they need to do is sit Chief and silver team down in a room with top brass and explain the very reasonable reasons [In the current shows logic] for them making a tactical retreat from reach and then if they are truly Spartans and Soldiers they'd suck it up with gritted teeth...
But no they want to kill him and loose all faith of spartan 2s in the process.
The shady business with evil admiral woman and cortana doesn't make much sense either... Why is this obvious spy operation such a secret when it seems pretty cut and dry.
Halsey may be untrustworthy but still an extremely valuable asset, So why was she left for dead and not taken to Onyx...
Are all the spartan 2's left to die on reach? - What in the actually fuck is that about... Leaving Cortana behind now makes sense and even cheif with the shows terrible writing, But why the hell would you have not evaced all Spartan 2s along with Vanek and Riz???
I also thought kai beating chief was awful, Made no sense to beat him when he refused to fight her especially when she could arrest him without effort...
On a personal note i was not a fan of the Sangheli preist, The halo species are designed to stand out in their roles for a reason... Their civilian sub groups are left in the lore to be sprinkled as small notes of world building...
Prophets are the religious leaders and standout as such | Elites are ELITE warriors - The Upper ranks of military [Later heavily sharing traits of Greek Spartans] | Brutes - The enforcers also capable of lower ranking command | Jackles - The more strategic and cunning lower ranks Associated with Shields and Marksmanship | Grunts - "The Grunts" of the covenant, serving as the primary fodder but yet shown to not be underestimated as they are still large 5ft creatures with biological exoskeletons that can pick fights with marines along with their dangerous fanatical behaviour in battle.
The show is taking these perfectly designed ranks of covenant and completely muddying the waters...
Elites are now roaring dinosaurs that behave as a mix between grunt fodder and Brute [No one watching the show thinks of them as honourable and formidable Team-leaders/commanders... They are merely the fodder of the covenant that can occasionally be skilled and even then the well defined color rankings are abandoned too]
Jackels have no character, they are simply there with sheilds and small swords... None of them are visually ranked, exhibit any characteristics like formation or cowardly retreats...
Brutes are just roaring hammer brutes so far... Not much to say with very little screen time...
They had a gold standard faction already meticulously designed to be easily digestable and recognisable that were a very real intelligent threat to humanity and somehow they have completely screwed the pooch
How did Perez become a Spartan in like 12 hours?
master chief hasnt even healed from Reach and Perez is already gone from Communications to Spartan-III and is leading her peers...wow
It doesn't make any sense how Corporal Perez ended up in the Spartan 3 program after piloting the ship with Master Chief and Soran and everyone else.
Finally letting Alex speak uninterrupted.

4:15 damn, this the angry Alex show? 😆
Alex is trying so hard not to see the future episodes. Lol
Alex is the best part of these reviews. Him going on rants saying what Joe is too much of a fanboy to say.
Its deserved
Sergeant Major Johnson Watch Episode 15 - Still no appearance.
They better not fck him up
Of course they will.
they are gonna destroy the mans character
@@quantumtp5872 He'll be a dull muted officer opposite to "oh, I know what the ladies like" energy.
No, Johnson. No Fred or Kelly (Blue team). No Noble team, even though we're on Reach. No Red team or the Spirit of Fire. No Thel 'Vadam (the Arbiter). No Morpho from CE. Buck and Alpha Nine are also nowhere to be seen.
Why is this show even called Halo at this point. We're this far in and we STILL haven't even gotten to the ring.
It honestly wouldn’t be that bad of a show if it didn’t have the Halo name on it but it does. The only reason these shows get made is because of the loyal fan bases and they spit in the face of the reason they are here. A unique sci fi universe turned into a generic sci fi show for mass appeal and man it hurts.
Guess i missed the "Can we skip this part" thing becaues i was actually skipping all the kwan out of 10 parts. I don't care about any story they are trying to tell or build with kwan. She has no place in this universe.
If people actually like this show, then cool for them. For me, don’t like this bait and switch Master Chief I got at all.
Last 3 episodes Chief has not been wearing any armour...
WTAF is going on lol.
They used all their budget and are writing in reasons not to spend more $$$$ actual clowns.
The theory crafting is like Homer Simpson watching the cult movie. "I got bored and made up my own story."
In my eyes, Halo is dead. How they can get away with the bastardization of such a beloved franchise is beyond me.
See this is why MS is so worried about doing any and all halo spin offs with their IP in games lol. No one can just take this show as it's own thing 🤷♂️
I just can’t grasp how insulting the concept is. Imagine you dedicate years of your life writing fantastic work, and people grow to love the world you created. Then I show up and say “I’m going to steal all your characters/settings, but I’m just going to make up a new plot”. Not only would I be an asshole, id also be a parasite.
I thought Rings of Power was bad, but this is worse. Rings of Power’s writers didn’t have the balls to rewrite the LOTR plot.
@@Mmachine88 This show is the farthest thing from Halo, admit it. Instead of being even remotely faithful to it's IP these showrunners/writers were like, "Fuck it, were gonna do our own thing". And look at what that has yielded them. A failing show and franchise. There won't be a season 3. Watch.
@MegaDringus well technically what it got with season 2 was a pretty high rating show. Is it amongst core fans? I'm not sure, maybe not
Because it's garbage. Even if it was its own original IP, it would still be trash. The writers have zero writing skill and should be flipping burgers instead.@Mmachine88
It’s literally the same formula as a damn CW show. Add a bunch of nobodies and no screen time for the main character.
I’m glad someone pointed out that ONI somehow was able to perfectly recreate the random hallway that Vannak was killed in for Kai’s simulation yet they didn’t know that Jimmy Rings and Halsey had made it off of Reach….
Alex is the voice of sanity, his ratings never lie
Something I struggle to understand is how they want us to believe that Chief is the best of all Spartans, yet in every fight he's had against another spartan in this show, he's gotten his ass folded. I get that in each instance he was without armor, but the precedent it sets kinda kills his hype. Or... What little hype he had, haha 😅
What the hell is wrong with the people making this show!? They could have had the show start with the fall of reach from the novel and focused oh MC and Johnson going to the ring and blowing it up by the end of season 2. They still would have had halo 2 and 3's story for season 3 and 4 and then 4 and 5 and still have room for more. Stull haven't seen the flood or guilty spark
They can cancel this show now. Come back with a better director and writers and just do the real halo story
It feels like the people who made this show want it to be like Guardians of the Galaxy or some soap opera. When it should be like Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down, or Band of Brothers. That's the show we should have gotten.
Halo show just isn't cutting it
💯😢
End the show and our suffering
I literally sit through the torture of this show so I can come to your review🤣🤣
Just watch the review not the shit show
I haven't watched a single episode of this show...yet here I am...enjoying the schadenfreude. 😂
I hope you're not paying for it.
@@Ravengagepvl I'm not my wife is haha............
Oh wait.......shit....
That’s a little dramatic haha
Jimmy rings will fight naked in the Halo. The arbiter would wish that both his eyes are blind because of the horiffic sight of the master cheeks and his plasma sword flailing around and screaming like a grunt.
They should just call it women of halo, these series are not halo
Overdramatic mainstream trash Halo got mainstream sniped
That slip in of Micheal Jackson was too underrated😂
This episode made it clear we're not going back to Reach. The Fall of Reach was an emotional event you could spread out over a whole season or more if you wrote it well, but instead they did it in one episode. I'm done.
This show is like a tea bag to the Halo fan’s face
“Have you been up my Wishing Tree? Tuh!
It's where I come to think and dream.
And now, I'd like to show you my Wishing Tree. Cha'mone!
Where we can laugh and giggle and scream. Hee hee!
Imagination is the key!
Won't you imagine along with me?
We can be spacemen, or pirates on the sea. Tuh, cha'mone!
Yes, we can do everything,
And I mean, everything! Tuh, cha'mone!
Up in my Wishing Tree! Hee hee! Ohhhhhhh!” - Soren’s wife to Kessler
The fight scenes are cool, that’s honestly the only thing I like about the Halo show
What fight scenes? All the cool potential fights that could have happened are off screen or in the background while Michael Jackson is crawling
Alex was a real one for laying into this garbage show at the beginning of this review. You can see in his face how bored and disgusted he is with this series.
We need the guys to review the tv show Shogun!
They said they are going to but need to arrange a time to,watch the first few episodes.
Where are the grunts? Do grunts exist?
They were in season one.
@@skyhunter2816 What about season 2?
@@solastro5595 If I'm being honest this season covers a lot of heavy topics like genocide and soldier ptsd. Grunts are too goofy.
@@skyhunter2816 RIP halo
@@solastro5595 Not really. This season has actually been excellent. They are smoked out on this one.
In season 3, they're going to use the game to make episodes like Red VS Blue..
This future is so advanced they forgot how to properly restrain prisoners anymore. Is it the third time we get the clown show with several guards trying to restrain Master Chief with chains? I guess handcuffs and anklecuffs to severely limit mobility are too antiquated for this show.
The "John" in this show is nothing like the chief we know and love.
It really shows they have no idea what they are writing about.
Wrong.
Agree
This guy is literally the 'Anti-John'
Doesn't have a single shred if Master Chief in the games
@@skyhunter2816yes you are wrong.
42:07
Aurora Borealis?!
At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?!
"Yes!"
Alex said what we're all thinking so perfectly that even I started clapping lol
This simply is not halo.
Once you accept it.. it’s a peaceful life
You ain't kidding this is a generic sci fi show and a shit one at that with the halo name
I keep asking myself is this Halo yet? Is this halo? Is THIS halo?
Yeah, shame on creative licensing!
Hot take:
The next Halo game should be all about Master Chief.
Let us experience his origins, from playing as John in the early days to the events that led him into the SPARTAN-II supersoldier project.
It shouldn't be open world, and we get to play with the helmet off.
I am failing to see how Kwon Ha fits into the more important narrative of the rings and the covenant etc.
I thought when she fell through the well and landed like that, it was gonna imply that she has some kind of forerunner ability that just unlocked.
Soren's son needed to be older, too, because they could have taken his character in a direction where he is now a Spartan III and there is definitely intrigue and drama there.
These two plot lines are the least interesting to me because they are very slow to build and appear to not really be going anywhere right now.
She only there for the Chinese market.
I'm calling it
Master Chief = Human perspective
Human Covenant lady = Covenant perspective
Kwan = Flood perspective (eventually)
There is always 3 sides of the story in traditional Halo. Kwan's getting indoctranated by the flood somehow via telepathy stuff, probably to lead her to unlock a flood chamber or something
No flood - No chance for that amount of budget/talent currently.
We get zombie's at best...
This show with its current runners There's no fucking way they are presenting an unstopable biological mass that has the ability to overwhelm galaxies...
@@xproflipscarab unstoppable biomass?? The gravemind in this series is gonna be a grumpy purple haired lesbian sticking it to the man.
Anyone else have no idea what the hell is going on most of the time in this show? Like who is the Arbiter, what does the Covenant want, what is ONI, what is blessed one? It doesn't make any damn sense.
No idea how anyone who didn't play the games would even watch this. It would just be a jumble of nonsense
quan saves jimmy rings from reach (check)
quan tells jimmy rings about the portal on her home planet (half marks because the portal and the well just the wrong planet)
no pillar of autumn and just teleporting to halo (all but confirmed at this stage)
2.5/3 aint to bad. for my predictions
In all honesty they are moving the arbitor away from the profits to save money. Thats it. The writers dont have the respect for the source material to make any good choices. So the arbitor going solo with zombie girl is just so the show runners can avoid the cost of the CG of high charity. Just look at when he chose to go rough.. Legit RIGHT BEFORE the got to high charity. I could just feel the accountants of paramount wiping sweat off their brow and them saying "oh thank god he chose to change RIGHT before a big scene of CG would show up"
BEST RESULT: Soren's Wife and Kid dies, he suffers great grief, his character changes as he becomes dark inside, filled with vengeful thoughts.
He commits to forming himself into a weapon that will rain hell fire on those responsible.
Halsey sees this change in him and believes she can harness that rage into an effective lethal vector. She gives him a chance and he chooses to go through the augmentation again, and becomes a full blown Spartan. With a bionic arm to boot.
But there is a twist, after augemtarion, he is presented with the opportunity to willingly implant the pellet into his skull, and he wants it, because the pain of losing his family is just to great, he just wants to go numb. His character is no longer a jokester, he is stark, brooding, his soul dead, now he has just one purpose, to be lethal.
Kai sees through all the lies of ONI and delivers the Armor back to Chief and Soren. And the core team becomes Chief, Kai, Soren and one other to be added maybe next season?
Quan-Ha becomes one with the planet, and evaporates into a mist never to be seen again.
the angry kwan show!!!!
42:08 YES STEAMED HAMS WILL NEVER DIE
Yo when he said Mj I almost choked lml
This episode was..... really... really bad. Didnt you love the modern weapons the chief used to take down the (also) modern soldiers in the woods?
I just dont get how people fail adaptations. Obviously there's a large amount of obstacles to even set up an adaptations live action version. But argubely the hardest part (the story itself) is done. How can you fail with millions at your disposal.
They did it on purpose to piss us off
They did it on purpose to irritate us
Writers/directors have egos, and want to interject THEIR story ideas vs bring an adaptation to life. Showmakers who are die hard fans of the existing books/games/etc do great like in the original LOTR trilogy and The Last Of Us for a recent example.
kwan becomes the "mouth piece" for the flood. she gets assimilated and becomes like the borg queen to translate their purpose on screen.
DUDE YOUR MISSING OUT ON SHOGUN WE NEED YOUR REVIEW AND THOUGHTS
Immediately after this episode, I went to my bathroom and took an angry shit. While ploppin out sloppy mud pies, I reflected on the Kai v John scene and how it could’ve been better. Imagine if they did fight, like in the show, but Chief is able to convince Kai that he’s innocent or whatever and she decides to side with Chief. Ackerson, who’s been watching the fight through the cameras, then puts the base on lockdown and sends a team to kill them both. Kai and Chief, now fully reunited, fight their way through the base to the armory with the help of Cortana unlocking doors. Chief retrieves his armor and they both (Kai and Chief) are now fugitives and escape with the goal of reaching Halo before the covenant. There, I just rewrote the ending in a much more satisfying way while destroying my plumbing . Give me money paramount.
Look how they massacred my boy 😢
This is not my Halo.
It baffles me how badly they screw up every plot point they borrow and bastardize. To quote Regret, “Of all the objects our lords left behind, there are none so worthless as these [screenwriters]! They know nothing of the Great Journey!”
343’s legacy is dismantling the Halo we once knew under Bungie.
Man I wish it was better wtf edit: I can't even keep blaming the writers at this point this is the director s faults man
Imho Halo doesn't have enough material to be a show. The games are basically about a super soldier killing aliens that want to destroy humanity. Halo is built for a series of high budget action films, that's it. Not all this political espionage bs.
The format is not the problem, it's the people writing it, they are out of their league. The Expanse was a good balance of political intrigue and action with a lot of memorable lines and characters. You don't need constant action when you have compelling, well written characters.
But you are objectively wrong. The lore in the Halo series in very rich, and the story goes far beyond "super soldier killing aliens that want to destroy humanity". Even in "just" the games, there is so much lore, story, character development, plot-lines and mysteries to fill 5 different TV shows, if they wanted to. And if they start drawing from the canon Halo novels and extended universe, there is almost endless inspiration.
They could have made a series about the young Spartan 2's lives and training. Everything is already there in "The Fall of Reach"!
They could have made a mini series about Sergeant Johnson during "First Contact".
The show could have been about the Forerunners, the Ancient humans - or about Oni discovering Forerunner artifacts. It could have been about the civil wars in the outer colonies, with a reports of a looming mysterious danger to insurrectionists and UNSC alike.
They could have made a show about Blue Team going on missions taking out separatists/terrorists, which was the Spartan's initial goal before the Covenant was discovered.
You have a point that anything live action Halo should probably have a high budget, if they want to do anything with the Covenant. But this show does have a high budget - but it's trying its damnest to become something it shouldn't be.
This show wanted to write its own stupid generic sci-fi crap, just to slap the Halo name on top of it for free traction. It's ridiculous, it doesn't fit at all, and all it serves to do is hurt the Halo name. They didn't want Halo. They don't like or care about Halo. They just wanted the Halo name and visuals. That is the problem.
@hylianchriss I agree that this show just wanted to use the Halo brand and actually did nothing with it. But I still stand by what I said that the games are about a big green robot man shooting aliens. The books may go deeper but the games have always had a simple story and as such would be better adapted as big dumb action movies.
There's like 10 hours of story just from the games alone. Theres also entire book series
Here we go again.
This show has nothing to do with Halo. Keep the story simple follow the books and games, not write your own crap. Because when you write your own story instead of staying with the original story, it turns to crap.
This episode gets a 5 out of 10.
Just average not worth watching.
You guys should review Shogun
they are, they mentioned in in another video earlier this week
John tells Kai that Cobalt team was sent to their deaths.
John proves Cobalt team was sent to their deaths.
John proves ONI staged everything and let Reach fall.
Kai joins ONI for no reason whatsoever.
Kai beats up Chief after literally witnessing Reach fall like Chief has been saying the entire season. He literally wouldn't shut up about "the covenant are coming" and when he's proven right, Kai is like "Nope. Didn't happen. Hur Dur my IQ is single digits"
I genuinely thought this was the worse episode so far. There is nothing left in this show Spartans 3 look terrible and stupid. Story is everywhere, master chief is basically dead to me in this show. The moment he came in chains in this episode I lost it. Then he beat/unalives them. I don’t care anymore. This chief is terrible and most the Spartans are crap. 2/10 Going to finish watching and hope it gets cancelled.
The Spartan III armor is SPI armor (Semi Infiltration Armor), and most Spartan IIIs used that armor which is faithful to the lore. SPI armor is supposed to be mass produced cheaper Mjolnir, where the basic version has no shields at all.
@@xCrimsonxTidex I know what you’re saying. However full Glass helmet in a war zone is stupid. They got cut down in the corridor as well. Spartans 3 are cheaper and less effective but they are at least good operators/soldiers still. They made them look worse the marines let alone ODST’s. As you said infiltrator amour not direct assault blow the bloody door off and breach like you have a respawn.
