I am NOT a Halo fan. With that said, the Showrunner already said something that if I WAS a Halo fan, I'd be scared for the show and pissed at the Showrunner.
Basically, the showrunner is ignoring the games to make the series. First, let's start with the most obvious part: Dismissing the Source Material "because it's a videogame". You know what happems when you disregard the source Material?
Super Mario Bros.
Resident Evil
Street Fighter
Street Fighter the Legend of Chun Li
Mortal Kombat (2021)
I could understand ignoring the games' lack of story if we're adapting something like Super Mario Brothers or Sonic the Hedgehog, who are games with more focus on gameplay than story. But Halo has a shit ton of lore WITHIN THE GAMES THAT SHOULDN'T BE DISCARDED!! I don't even LIKE Halo and this bullshit pisses me off!
Seriously, could you imagine if Francis Ford Coppola was like: We're. Aking The Godfather movie, bit we are not reading Puzo's book! We want to take his characters and tell a new story. We don't want to be limited by the book!!
Goddammit! A 1:1 translation is not what people want... it's understandable that a book cannot be 100% covered in a 2 hour film. What is expected from a movie based on a book is a mostly faithful adaptation of the book with small changes for the sake of condensing a story to fit the 2 hour-ish runtime, with the changes being respectful to the source Material... the same thing applies to Comics, Anime, Western Cartoons, and videogames.
I don't want to read some fanfiction where the main character plays second fiddle to some Mary Sue... if I wanted to do that, I could always go to fanfiction websites. And THAT is the main issue with a lot of these showrunners. They take a popular property, they take a shit on the source material, deliver a subpar product, and then they have the gall to blame fans of the property for not supporting the adaptation...
These bozos would give guns to Harry Potter...
The Halo fans don't deserve this kind of bullshit.
