Cant wait for Master Chief to dab."Wait and see," Levine said. "What I love about Pablo is he has the physicality to be a spartan, to be Master Chief, but he is A), a great dramatic actor and B), he's got such a twinkle in his eye. He's so good with wit and comedy. We want Master Chief to have that range and Pablo brings the range."
How can we see the twinkle in his eye if he's wearing his helmet? "Maybe it's the twinkle in his mask, we'll see," Levine said.
Well here are my thoughts which I am sure is the reason here. The Prophets KNEW humanity were the reclaimers right before the events at Harvest. Not far fetched to think they'd need one to unlock some Forerunner secrets.Not sure why the Covenant and human relationship is weird. I mean arent the Arbiter and MC not "friends"
Offcourse something happened that resulted into that. That can be the case with that character also.
Yes I'm sure having a human character to represent the Covenant was not at all because having actual aliens on screen would be expensive as hell and normal audiences wouldn't understand what the Covenant is actually about so we need a surrogate character for covenant.
Also it's really hard for me to believe that your words are genuine given you actually work at the company this product is owned by and I've very little humbleness from you in the past that would suggest anything you say isn't some kind of PR, whereas even the people at Bungie were able to look at things like Halo 2 and say things like "yeah the scripted Scarab section was ass."
I don't know if I'd call Penny Dreadful big budget, but it was up there with any HBO show in terms of production values. Man, I miss that show.Showtime isn't known for big budget shows and the one thing Halo needs is a big budget.
Yikes
Yikes.
Gonna be weird not having Jenn Taylor as Cortana.
1) Halo is a space opera. Showtime isn't known for high budget stuff, I fear they won't do the universe justice. For that reason I'd strongly prefer Halo 2 anniversary-level CG over live action.Mention any three things that point to a 'disaster in the making'.
Suggests she was raised by Sangheilli, then. Figure it's probably a warrior honor thing. I can get behind that.So the character "raised by Covenant" is called Makee. There is "another" Makee but spelled abit different.
"Planned"It was planned for arround Halo 5 and it was abit different. This is abit more different now and they offcourse want it close to Halo Infinite.
Not really smart to release it in like 2017 or something.
I'm so confused, when is this show actually set
God damn it.Seeming whenever. Since they've gone the non-canon route they can set it whenever since they don't need to worry about contradicting stuff.
God damn it.
I just want a good adaption of the games 1 through 3.
Well the show was never going to be that since they haven't done much re adapting stuff. (The animated Fall of Reach thing being the only notable example).
It will also join Halo Legends episode - Odd One Out, as the only other produced Non-Canon material. Which for their first truly big TV show is odd.
You'll have people who played the games and then go to watch the show and confused by the changes, and then you'll have people getting into the show and then checking out the games and being confused at the "changes".
It wouldn't be as big of a deal if the Halo games/books were at their end and no more new material was being made but there is.
Meh, I understand the point but you have so many universes that cross mediums and go different paths and they make it work (GOT is a great example). People understand that different mediums might tell different stories/lore even if they are based on the same universe.
I actually prefer this direction since it allows them to tell the story they want to tell without compromising or trying to adapt things that wouldn't fit the medium.
Is it though? Hollywood lothes Cannon in storytelling. Rather than work within the confines of an existing story and existing naritive to create your own characters and story beats (or intelligently addon to existing stuff), its just easier for them to reuse existing stuff and just change everything surrounding it. It's the reason why Adaptions from Novels into TV/Movies are almost always lackluster and remade 50 times with each one being different.It will also join Halo Legends episode - Odd One Out, as the only other produced Non-Canon material.

Yeah, the casting confirms the show is no longer canon and doing it's own thing.
Well, ASOIAF's book series will likely never be finished so essentially the original material is over. But I would say the problem with using GOT anyway as an example is that there is clearly the: "Book Universe" and the "TV Universe"
Halo is much more complicated now.
Because you have Games, Books, Comics, Live-Action Series (FUD, and Nightfall), audio dramas, and Anime (Baring Odd-One-Out) that are all canon to the original games.
Then you have the Showtime series that isn't canon to any of the previous stuff. So it can and no doubt will confuse people.
But I feel like your last part is a bit odd and would only matter if they were actually adapting the games. If they're making a story set anytime during the Halo universe, so long as it's not based on a game they would never have to adapt something that wouldn't fit the medium. Halo has already have live action stuff before with no issue.
I will say, I am disapointed that this wont be Canon. Because one of my favourite things about the Halo Univerise is how closely it follows its Cannon. With the exception of a clearly comedic, deadpool-esque episode of the anime and a single game which overrode everything in one of the novels (which was rewritten to make it match up again); Everything builds off of one another and increases the scope and depth of the Universe as a whole. I find that that is what makes the Halo Universe magical compared to most other story universes which are clearly split into multiple diferent Canons (Book Canon, Game Canon, TV/Movie Canon, ect). Because the Halo Universe is so streamlined, it is a lot easier to get invested and hooked in the story as a whole because everything has meaning.I guess in this context it is odd because this is their third Live-Action series after FUD and Nightfall but the first one that is non-canon.
Now the scale of production for this is much much much larger than either FUD or Nightfall, so that is probably a factor.
Still, as everything that had come before (but OOO) was canon, the natural assumption was that it would be and even when they started doing the initial casting, nothing was signalling that it wouldn't be. It was only when they announced production was a go (the twee that made this thread), that people realized it wasn't going to be.
Yeah, if Halo was finished it would make sense but thats never gonna happen lmaoWell the show was never going to be that since they haven't done much re adapting stuff. (The animated Fall of Reach thing being the only notable example).

Stinkles is there any way to know if this is 100% canon or not? Because it just seems like we'll never get an answer and therefore I assume this will be semi-canon and you guys will use some aspects of it in future canon games?? I think the community deserves some clarity, we've been waiting six years already, eight years by the time the show comes out and there's so much confusion all over HaloNet.
Halo: Forward Unto Dawn wasn't a masterpiece by any means but was actually pretty good. Before Chief shows up it really showed how scary the Covenant are to non-Spartans.
yup. it was also way better than what we got with Halo 5. That show sucked
