That short haired chick had a nice little rump.

There was one scene where she was running around in her little black semi thong underwear.

Yeah, Halo was THE defining series of the 00s I'd say, maybe alongside MGS, as they were pretty close in their years. And it can be argued Halo had more mainstream appeal, over MGS and stuff like Valve's games. The thing is, WoW was even bigger and look how that turned out. I just don't know if the climate can take a Halo movie now. Whereas Mass Effect took a more "we all have to work together and be one and sing kumbayah" approach, akin to the Utopian ideals of Star Trek, Halo was more focused on survival. It did attemt to humanize the Elites, but it was a clear take on Secular Christianity vs. fundementalist Islamism. Names like "Arbiter", "Covenant", "Halo", "John 117" weren't random. The problem is that, at the end of the day, Halo is about humanity kicking ass because **** you, we're humans, we root for ourselves. In a world were Avatar is the exact opposite, can we really get a good Halo movie? Like I said, they are making a tv show, and one of the MCs is a girl raised by the Covenant. A human girl. Right off the bat it misses the point.

Its worldbuilding and lore is rich enough for a trilogy of movies. I've not really dipped into its EU with all the books, but it has quite a bit of meat. The problem is that Bungie moved on and 343 took over, and got rid of what made Halo Halo. It was a Sci-Fi shooter that was the result of the Post-9/11 Era mixed with lots of religious symbolism and undertones. It's not by chance that the theme sounded like a Christian Choir. 343 got rid of all that and went with a very generic look and feel involving ancient aliens. Those were always there, but the original Halo truly made it all seem mysterious and genuinely ancient. Now they're just generic aliens. It's like going from Alien to Prometheus and seeing the Space Jockey be just a tall albino.


I don't think having no face is a problem. I've never had it, anyhow. With either Master Chief, Dredd or Snake Eyes. Kids want a cool looking guy to look up to and see do some wicked stuff. On paper characters like the Chief exist to immerse you in the game. And that's why there's a supporting cast, as it humanizes the MC and also lets you identify with a more human character instead of the killing machine. For the Covenant, the Spartans, and the Chief especially, are literally Demons.

A proper Halo movie could be incredibly and truly epic in every sense of the word. But I don't think current Hollywood can pull it off. Even a videogame from 20 years ago is unironically too deep these days.

There?s nothing like playing The Silent Cartographer

I actually enjoyed it for the most part. This seemed to be doing well and they were already talking about season 2, so I gave it a go...

They cancel this for an animated show called Super Crooks... So, yeah, I won't be watching that.

This is exactly why I hate giving new TV shows a go. And usually don't fully watch (maybe I'll just watch the 1st episode to see if I even have any interest) until I either know they are renewed for a second season, or cancelled so I don't get too invested in the story.

Network TV is the worst. Don't create cliffhanger endings for a new show at the end of the season if its continuation is not definite.

I'm the opposite. I respect a show that understands there's a small chance they're coming back, so they go ahead and pretty much tie up all loose ends by the end of season one. Perfect example was "Westworld." Absolutely stunning looking show, better effects than most movies, interesting characters and plots and threads, but clearly this was HIGH budget show and its future was up in the air...so it all wrapped up neatly at the end of the first season.

"Oh we got the green light for more?" And within the season premiere of season two, it was immediately reduced to rubble and garbage.

A great watch if you just turn if off after season one and accept it's over. One of the ugliest, muddled, pointless messes on recent TV if you decided to keep going for some reason.

I tried watching this when it first came out, but couldn't get into it so deleted the episodes.

When news broke it was cancelled I downloaded them all again, and today I've watched 1-7. It's a lot better than I thought it was going to be.

The three-island tramp steamer and the mysterious island was very King Kong.

With the slow story-telling it seems as though they expected this to be a success and for more seasons to follow, not that I read any of the comics.

I liked the first season and was hoping to see if get renewed. But it certainly didn’t look like a $200M series. Netflix should just convert it into an animated series. They could do a 2-hour retelling of S1 then go from there.

The last season of Westworld was complete trash

Gave Jupiter's Legacy a go, and, I though it a serviceable superhero show. It was intriguing how one of the central conflicts is "The Code". I actually liked some of the themes and concepts within the show, but of course wish it were more fleshed out. Also, loved seeing Anna Akana.

A complete waste of time now that it's been cancelled and ends on a cliffhanger though.
