What do you think? Let me know on Twitter or Facebook. With Halo, it feels like the color grading is off. This as a very big issue for me with Wheel Of Time, which always looked much more low-budget than it ought to have looked, and certainly compared to something like Game Of Thrones despite comparable per-episode budgets. Maybe it’s also something to do with the cinematography. Maybe I’m paranoid that they’ll make a huge mess of it, and that I’ll just be glad this is a “silver” timeline instead of the real thing, after all. So maybe I’m just jaded, maybe I’m just looking at trailers like this through whatever the opposite of rosy-tinted glasses are. (I’d say this is true of the Star Wars sequel trilogy as well, which threw out a lot of what made the original movies so great rather than sticking to what fans wanted). I’m loathe to say “failing” but to one degree or another the shows are not living up to the source material, and often for kind of crappy reasons. ![]() I’ve been working on a longer piece for my diabolical Substack about why all these TV adaptations are letting fans down. And her hair should look more like game Cortana’s!) 4. ![]() (Maybe it’s the smile also? It’s a fine smile, but I guess I always think of Cortana as a bit too serious to have an endearing, dopey smile like that. That’s going to be harder with Cortana since she’s not in a helmet all the time, but surely they could do better than this. I mean, Master Chief looks almost exactly like he does in the games. Some techno-doodads in her neck to make it look like data is racing through her veins at warp speed. Cortana is played by voice actor, Jen Taylor, but something is wrongĬortana and Master Chief Credit: Microsoft There was no reason to replace Hayter whatsoever. That was worse, in many ways, hwoever, mainly because it was another video game in the franchise rather than a live-action adaptation. The last time this happened was when Hideo Kojima made the absolutely preoposterous decision to replace David Hayter with Keiefer friggin Sutherland as Snake in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. I guess a trailer just isn’t enough to sway me one way or another, but the fact remains that they’ve used a totally different actor for one of gaming’s most iconic voices. Halo isn’t my favorite game or anything, though the original Halo certainly holds a special place in my heart and I do enjoy the series. I’m not really upset like some superfans are. ![]() Since our hero, John-117, is always in his suit and helmet (unlike some bounty hunters in a galaxy far, far away) you’d think they could have used the same voice actor from the games-Steve Downes-but the show’s creators went a different route, casting Pablo Schreiber ( Orange Is The New Black, American Gods) as the Master Chief. Okay, but why not just try to adapt the story that’s already written? Or tell some other story in the same timeline, similar to what The Witcher games have done? 2. This makes sense, but it also feels like justifying all the Wheel of Time changes in the TV show by saying it’s just a different spinning of the Wheel. "We're referring to this as the Halo Silver Timeline as a way of differentiating it from core canon and both protecting core canon and protecting the television story, and by that I mean being able to give ourselves the chance to evolve both and for both to be what they need to be for their mediums without colliding with each other." Here’s what executive producer Kiki Wolfkill said late last year about the ‘Silver’ timeline: Sometimes having a shared fictional universe with different stories told in book and game and movie/TV format leaves a little more wiggle room for writers and creators to tell their own stories their own ways for each medium. Not everybody wants to create the equivalent of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This isn’t precisely because they’re just tossing out the original story to come up with something they think is better-I’m looking at you Amazon’s Wheel Of Time-but rather because the teams behind Halo didn’t want the game and TV stories to be set in the same continuity. You’ll notice in the trailer that the story is.
