    I’m out of the loop on this. Did Halo actually face reveal master chief? Talk about jumping the shark if they did.

      The tv show cast the actor who played Porn Stache from orange is the new black and had him keep his helmet off for the bulk of the show. I only made it a few eps before I noped out from that one. It was terrible.

          This is true, and not the only time this has happened. I can’t think of a lot of examples, but my favorite is the original Super Mario Bros movie… although that movie rocks in its own right, but not because of the quality of adherence to the source material.

      And yet Karl Urban did it correct after this with Dredd. One of the sickest adaptations ever made.

        Still saddened his and our collective want of a follow-up has yet to (and probably won’t) occur.

          While I very much agree. At least we got what we did. The movie as. Whole is badass, but those slowmo scenes are sick and trippy as fuck.

    Who’s the second picture?

    Reverse image searched it: Karl Urban in Doom.

    Halo fucked up the moment they hired normal people to play Spartans. They should’ve scouted the tallest stage actors willing to take a pratfall. People who are used to projecting for the back of the theater, so they can act through full-body armor with a dome for a face. Then all the baseline humans can be every five-nothing guy who always wanted to play a big buff marine - to make the Spartans look even taller.
