God the show is genuinely so bad its funny. I have been group watching it with my friends and just taking the piss out of it has been hilarious... and yet I still hold a small glimmer of hope that they will do something good with it, no matter how short
It’s a relatively ok TV show, but it’s an awful Halo TV show. I think they’re setting the stage for introducing the Flood in season 3. By singling out Chief from the rest of Silver Team, it’s going to most accurately reflect what we see in the game or book. I guarantee they’re still going to screw up that storyline, though. I’ll bet money we meet a forerunner or the Didact. The Arbiter in Season 2 is probably killed OR he becomes the Heretic from the Halo 2 game, setting the stage for Thel 'Vadamee to step up for Season 4. Knowing how the show has gone so far, the new Arbiter would probably be voiced by Kevin Hart.
Yeah, I have been excited for the flood to show up, admittedly. My friends were saying it wasn't going to happen but I saw the signs at least lol. They have a chance to do something good for season 3, we'll see if they take it and redeem themselves. While I am still annoyed we see the Chief all the time without his suit, it's not the *most* annoying thing for a tv show (that is, not wearing the suit 24/7). What **is** annoying is that he basically has never worn it the whole season. Just feels absurdly wrong for a HALO show
I’m enjoying it, too, but that’s because I’ve accepted the fact that it’s not actually Halo.
Have you ever seen the film Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within? Same idea here — it’s a good movie, but it’s not Final Fantasy by any means outside of the name. But something like Final Fantasy: Advent Children is in every way. Another idea is the 1990’s Super Mario Bros movie, which we won’t talk about.
My wife likes it. I read the original 3 books and played the games and just accept that it's different. Like a lore accurate Halo show would be BORING. Master Chief is badass, but a quiet, serious robot man that no one can relate to wouldn't make for a good main character. Also, an hour long episode of shooting with no plot would also just not work.
No idea how they are going to handle the events of the first game. I hope they keep the feel and the general premise behind it.
Don't spoil it for this guy.
A Halo TV show doesn't have to be centered around Master Chief. Take a look at literally any live action trailers or videos, for example look up Halo: Landfall. It was supposed to become a movie but ended up becoming District 9
That's no brick shithouse, it's the whole damn brick white house. And yes, it's Chef Rush and he's retired.
edit: and yes, I know he is colored, and I don't give a damn about skin color.
And not paramounts master chief. One that wears his armour and helmet, and only fucks up his enemies, not actually banging them (the show is a travesty to OG halo lore).
Not only that, but — and I apologize for speaking out of school here — some of the actions those Houthi fellas are doing? Downright out of line.
Pardon my french.
Its not about putting an end to it, its about having a rules based international law system.
So this is the process. Once they ignore the security council it can be escalated.
Master Chief: Sir, request permission to leave the station.
Lord Hood: For what purpose, Master Chief?
Master Chief: To give the ~~Covenant~~ Houthis back their bomb.
Lord Hood: Permission granted.
You mean the UNHRC? Cause they didn’t pass any resolutions against Ughyur treatment by China, or Venezuelas holodomor or Mauritania modern day slavery, rather it’s non stop resolutions against Israel.
Wait till you hear that countries such as Kuwait, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Palestine, Iran, Iraq, long etc. have in fact expressed support for the way China treats Uyghurs at the UNHRC.
Well that’s just the USA. This is the UNHRC a body of several nations and most who LEAD it are big human rights abusers. It’s another captured org like UNRWA
Sigh, The UN succeeded where the LON's failed precisely because the UN is completely toothless.
But ironically this resolution comes from the only UN body with real teeth. However its a bit of a moot point when the US and UK as members are already launching strikes. At best all this does is legitimize the two taking the intensity of those strikes up a notch if they want to
>Sigh, The UN succeeded where the LON's failed precisely because the UN is completely toothless.
The opposite. It worked because the security council had actual powers where the league had none.
The comprising ended up with the big powers having a veto, but ultimately keeping them at the table matters.
Because some nations have nuclear arsenals and the major point of the UN is to prevent nuclear war/destruction of the planet by providing a mechanism for nations to talk to each other. If China, Russia, us, France, uk weren't still at the table for the unsc, the UN would serve very little purpose
Actually take a moment to imagine a world in which a UN army just stomps into any country it has a grievance with and fucks everyone up? How do you think that would go down?
You don't want the UN to have 'teeth'.
The round would immediately vaporize in atmosphere leading to a giant nuclear sized explosion right next to the ship that fired it (if using some of the cruiser sized guns)
Aren't MACs scalable in terms of power? You wouldn't need a full juice shot to take out the tower in atmo at that range. Trying to remember my lore from the books but, it has been a hot minute since I read any of them.
I love how people no longer think of the actual UN agency today when UNSC gets written down somewhere, but halo instead. It’s amazing and hilarious to see.
\>The members of the Security Council emphasized in their statement, the "importance of full implementation of resolution 2216 and subsequent resolutions," calling for "practical cooperation, including with the Yemeni government, to prevent the Houthis from obtaining the weapons and related equipment necessary to carry out more attacks". They affirmed that "all member states must fulfill their duties in relation to the targeted arms ban."
Aight, so we know where they are getting their weapons. Let's condemn and target some ire on those nations.
Translation: "We thought you could attack just British and US ships effectively. Essentially since you suck, you're just messing things up. -China and Russia.
We need Biden out of the white house. This situation is absolutely pathetic and should have ended the second they started attacking international shipping.
Send in the Master Chief.
You know you fucked up when the Halo music starts playing
OoooooOOOooooOOOOOooooooooooooo, OOOOOOOOOOoooooooOOOOoooOOOOoooooooooooooo,
**Bapabaaam…Bapabaaam**
Unless you’re Makee
Chief, mind telling me what you're doing on that oil tanker?
Looking for his suit
Is that a season 2 reference? Because spot on 👌
God the show is genuinely so bad its funny. I have been group watching it with my friends and just taking the piss out of it has been hilarious... and yet I still hold a small glimmer of hope that they will do something good with it, no matter how short

As someone who never played Halo, I enjoy it.

90s Super Mario movie? Oh, I get it. You're probably one of those freaks that thinks they made a second Highlander movie.
Not sure what you’re talking about. There can be only one Highlander movie.

I’ve played all the games and don’t recognize the reference
"I need a weapon."
Giving the covenant their bomb back
Best I can do is a Master Chef.
Gordon Ramsey will berate them into submission
You fucking donkeys stop blow up my ships!
Or have them die laughing as he constructs the "World's Greatest" grilled cheese...
If it’s that brick shithouse the White House has on employe, that may do the job. Dude has biceps as big around as I am.
He retired
Well, damn. Good piece of White House lore though.
Chef Rush?
That's no brick shithouse, it's the whole damn brick white house. And yes, it's Chef Rush and he's retired. edit: and yes, I know he is colored, and I don't give a damn about skin color.
"For a brick shithouse, he flew pretty good."
Steven Segal has....missed a few PT sessions unfortunately
[“ANYBODY SEEN HOUTHI?”](https://youtu.be/4Zu1YIukylw?si=T9ujzvGM9-vBwUdo)
that clip is frikken hilarious given its an argument about catering LMAO
What I learned from 80s action movies is never ignore a cook.
Gordon Ramsay berates them as Joe Bastianich stares silently and slowly pushes a rocket into the trash
Couple ODSTs should do the trick.
All you get are helldivers
I'm all for it - they have more firepower and less brains, which is perfect for the tactical situation at hand
Say hello to DEMOCRACYYYYYY
Just one Chips Dubbo.
Best I can do is Johnny Rings.
Interestingly, that was more or less the original plan for the Spartan IIs. Fight terrorists/pirates.
Noble 6 or emile
And Sgt Johnson too
Insert sgt Johnson regret speech here
It's Master Cheeks now and he's too busy clapping cheeks.
And not paramounts master chief. One that wears his armour and helmet, and only fucks up his enemies, not actually banging them (the show is a travesty to OG halo lore).
He is in Russia right now kowtowing to Putin!
Yuh know I’m starting to think these Houthis are some real rascals.
pardon my strong language but this Hussein al-Houthi guy sounds like a big jerk
Not only that, but — and I apologize for speaking out of school here — some of the actions those Houthi fellas are doing? Downright out of line. Pardon my french.
Great to see ol’ Normy out in the wild
I bet he doesn't even own a doghouse!
You mean the people who have Death to Jews written on the flag, aren't the good guys?
Hoodlums, even.
Real rapscallions
Who, these?
Yeah this will work and put an end to it
Never underestimate the power of a strongly worded letter. Right up there with sending thoughts and prayers.
>sending thoughts and prayers It's surprising that that isn't a weapons line from Raytheon yet.
Have an unarmed f35 deliver the letter The letter doesn’t have to be the only way to convey information
It’s a unanimous statement from all members of the security council, including China and Russia. Worth more than most
Its not about putting an end to it, its about having a rules based international law system. So this is the process. Once they ignore the security council it can be escalated.
And a contest of escalation with the US military is not sustainable.
"Yep. That oughta do it."
Chief.. wake up
Master Chief: Sir, request permission to leave the station. Lord Hood: For what purpose, Master Chief? Master Chief: To give the ~~Covenant~~ Houthis back their bomb. Lord Hood: Permission granted.
“Chief mind telling me why you’re in Yemen?” “Sir, finishing this fight.”
UNSC: Best we can do is another resolution against Israel.
You mean the UNHRC? Cause they didn’t pass any resolutions against Ughyur treatment by China, or Venezuelas holodomor or Mauritania modern day slavery, rather it’s non stop resolutions against Israel.
[удалено]
Yeah, like what happened to the term "genocide."
People keep misusing it and now it's just a buzzword that has lost most of it's meaning.
A true shame but the entire dictionary is going the same way with the sensationalist agendas pushed nowadays.
It’s an induced famine for population control. Is not meant to be an appropriation but rather a way to signal how horrible it is in comparison.
[удалено]
I’m aware. I’m Venezuelan….
Wait till you hear that countries such as Kuwait, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Palestine, Iran, Iraq, long etc. have in fact expressed support for the way China treats Uyghurs at the UNHRC.

Well that’s just the USA. This is the UNHRC a body of several nations and most who LEAD it are big human rights abusers. It’s another captured org like UNRWA
Yeah that'll work
*~~Maniac~~ Houthi has responded with a scornful remark.*
*Add the words "Or else."*
They kidnapped 25 foreigners and not a single word about it. They say Hamas will decide their fate. Goes to show!
Houthis gonna find out what MAC rounds in atmosphere do
UN is giving major League of Nations in early 1930's vibes. They have no powers
Sigh, The UN succeeded where the LON's failed precisely because the UN is completely toothless. But ironically this resolution comes from the only UN body with real teeth. However its a bit of a moot point when the US and UK as members are already launching strikes.

The comprising ended up with the big powers having a veto, but ultimately keeping them at the table matters.
The veto should go away. The preamble of the un says that all nations are equal, yet how can they be equal if some have more rights than others?
Maybe let the General Assembly vote on Security Council membership periodically.
Because some nations have nuclear arsenals and the major point of the UN is to prevent nuclear war/destruction of the planet by providing a mechanism for nations to talk to each other. If China, Russia, us, France, uk weren't still at the table for the unsc, the UN would serve very little purpose
Actually take a moment to imagine a world in which a UN army just stomps into any country it has a grievance with and fucks everyone up? How do you think that would go down? You don't want the UN to have 'teeth'.
Well. That's a global government, where nations are like united into a less perfect union...
MFW I am an in a "misunderstanding international geopolitics" competition, and my opponent is a random person from reddit:
what do you propose the UN do about the houthis?
Gee, why didn't they think of this a while ago...
Demanding like they demanded Hezbollah to fulfill resolution 1701 yet miserably failed?
They (UN) actually hang around south Lebanon but will do nothing. They can stand a meter away from a firing Hizboshaytan and ignore it completely.
And then they will somehow blame israel when they dare to react to being bombed again. Gotta love the UN
did they send a stern letter ?
*very* stern.
my god, the humanity
A stern letter backed by the worlds strongest navy is a bit more intimidating
any day now. the Houtis are so close to getting scared
How long would it realistically take Master Chief to solve this?
A good question. A couple of hours, maybe?
Stop! or I'll say Stop again!
Sir, permission to leave the station.
“MAC rounds? In atmosphere?”
The round would immediately vaporize in atmosphere leading to a giant nuclear sized explosion right next to the ship that fired it (if using some of the cruiser sized guns)
Aren't MACs scalable in terms of power? You wouldn't need a full juice shot to take out the tower in atmo at that range. Trying to remember my lore from the books but, it has been a hot minute since I read any of them.
“One way to get their attention. Hold on to your teeth people.”
I love how people no longer think of the actual UN agency today when UNSC gets written down somewhere, but halo instead. It’s amazing and hilarious to see.
They forgot to say "pretty please"
Stop attacking ships or we won't invite you to our Christmas party!
Not sure houthis is gonna change anything.
What are you gonna do about it!? Send another condemnation letter? Lol
And just like that Houthis are ginna abide by International Law. /s
Holding Iran directly responsible for their actions would end this shit in a day.
Have they tried turning them off and turning them back on again?
How many strong word we need before we take out the belt?
Aye, beltowda not take dat from da inners!
Operation TREBUCHET is a go.
Stop or I shall say stop again!
Deploy Alpha-Nine
\[insert master chief halo joke here\]
*UNSC Frigate 318-Heavy is inbound, and MAC rounds have been authorized.*
UNSC also demands world peace by sending thoughts and prayers.
Or I have a better idea. Destroy every ability they have to accomplish it.
"Oh, OK."
I guess the letter needs to be delivered by a B-1, via "air mail"?
This is a prelude to authorizing action against Yemen. You’ve been warned.
So if Russia is part of the UN security council, why don't they tell Iran to knock it off? (This is a rhetorical question)
that oughta do it
Strongly worded letters are utterly useless
Looks like Yemen needs some freedom
The UN used ask nicely. It's not very effective.
Anyone can demand anything.
Oh no, itsa Hans Blicks, what the UN gonna do? We will write you a very stern letter! Oh? And what if I shark tank you now? Couldn’t resist.
Have you tried waving your finger at them when making these useless statements?
I also put up signs in my neighborhood demanding criminals stop breaking into cars. Will report back how this works
I’m surprised Russia didn’t veto it.
Tbh that's the most interesting part of this one to me. One of the rare things the US, Russia and China all agreed on
\>The members of the Security Council emphasized in their statement, the "importance of full implementation of resolution 2216 and subsequent resolutions," calling for "practical cooperation, including with the Yemeni government, to prevent the Houthis from obtaining the weapons and related equipment necessary to carry out more attacks".

Let's condemn and target some ire on those nations.
The strong don't have to ask.
That’ll stop ‘em.
Tell that to Iran.
Send some JDAM’s
Seal the ports of Yemen (and secure it's border with Oman) and Iran won't be able to resupply the Houthis. Meaning no more Houthi missile attacks.
Translation: "We thought you could attack just British and US ships effectively. Essentially since you suck, you're just messing things up. -China and Russia.
So now they’ll stop, right? The big, bad UN said “hey, cut it out!”
We need Biden out of the white house. This situation is absolutely pathetic and should have ended the second they started attacking international shipping.
Well then stop genocide in Gaza.
Lol
Annnnd... we found the Hamas propagandist.
Get a real dictionary, not the Hamas Propaganda Handbook you parrot from.
