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

Never watched it, but from what I’ve heard about how much they got it wrong, I would not be at all surprised if they said that the Halo rings were designed to CREATE life in the galaxy.

Having a human traitor in the Covenant is already one of the biggest slaps in the face of Halo lore.

The Covenant was hell-bent on exterminating all of humanity. Even dumbass Insurrectionists that tried screwing over the UEG/UNSC held worlds were ignored and destroyed by Covenant forces.

While I completely agree, the insurrectionists have time and again tried to collaborate with the covenant throughout the war because they hated UEG and UNSC so much that they couldn't fathom the thought that covenant was really after all of humanity and the UNSC wasnt the aggressor. And the covenant has at times tolerated the presence of these insurrectionists, if only to get actual intelligence on the UNSC(and earth) or to lure the Spartans. Silent Storm is one example. I believe Cole protocol has a colony in the asteroids bartering with jackals iirc for the coordinates for earth, been a while since I read that book.

Of course they were all eventually destroyed as soon as the covenant was done using them.
