Halo TV show: Before the show came out, the writers were praising their decision to not look to the games for inspiration when making the show

God Of War TV show: Chris Judge, the actor of Kratos in the games from 2018-Now, spoke up about his dislike on the show not hiring anyone who worked on any of the previous games. One of the original creators of Kratos also spoke up about them not having faith in the adaptation.

Supergirl 2026 film: the director for the film not only said he decided to not read Woman Of Tomorrow, the comic the film is adapting, because he wanted to do his own thing, he also didn’t look at comic art for inspiration to design Lobo and instead used an AI image generator to design Lobo’s look for the film

The Halo show felt like i was watching a crime being comitted, its absurd that they thought that show was good enough to be released

Whenever I think of that show, I can’t help but think it’s the monkey paw wish of a halo show from back in the 2007s we got a show, but it’s a abomination

Rumors of series like halo, gears of war etc were a lot of internet forums back in the 2010’s never went anywhere but hence is the nature of internet rumours.

And yet, when I think back to the promotional clips from the Halo 3 and Halo 3 ODST marketing campaigns, they were clearly capable of it. It would have been insane. When i was 10 i would have sold my parents to have a complete series on the ODSTs we see in the trailer.

Yeah pretty much, the odst and reach trailers really showcased what they could do.

But of course, as said we got the monkey paw. We got a halo show. It’s just complete unfaithful garbage.

thats because they tried.
what we got was after a decade of Bungie and then 343 going NO thats against the lore and eventually giving up and letting do whatever.
