Paramount+ announced today that it has canceled Xbox’s Halo TV show after its second season. The team behind the show is reportedly looking to shop the sci-fi adaption around to other places in an effort to continue the series.
Its because they made their own story that shat on existing lore. Simple as, fallout meshed it in a tasteful way and thats why its good (plus fallout games were honestly easier to do this with).
Halo isn’t that hard to have a story interwoven with the games’. The books and comics do that easily, so why can’t a tv show?
Forward Unto Dawn was good.
Because they felt the need to have master chief at the center of the story, instead of choosing any one of the many other Spartans. As a huge halo fan (have read almost all of the books) i could have been ok with this “silver timeline” thing if they pointed to a single spot in the established lore and said, here’s where it diverged.
But instead, they slapped Halo nouns onto a generic Syfy story.
It was awful aha.
RIP to Master Chief’s ass. o7
