Please no, Hollywood would completely ruin everything that made Halo great.

the first four or five missions of CE?

>>83919877
You have two TV shows, four counting the animated version of FoR and Legends; they all suck.

It's a fun shooting who's plot is a variety of references to Aliens, The Thing, and plenty of other sci-for properties. It's too derivative from film to make an adaptation of it back to the screen.

>>83919911
But I mean...everything that made Halo great was the gameplay, the multiplayer specifically. The plot is literally just generic spaceshooterman. I don't see how they could make it any worse.

Fall of Reach is an okay book, and you can't stretch a feature length runtime out of Staten's one-liners.

Also deep lore isn't a substitute for a compelling narrative, you pitiful autist. There's a reason it's impossible to make a good 40K film.

>>83920287
Which is exactly my original point, mouthbreather. They'd just toss aside the lore in favor of a generic "Battle Los Angeles" narrative.

You can't make a good film out of lore, you stupid fucking sperg.

Despite what your gook cartoons may have you think, exposition for its own sake isn't good storytelling.

>>83920885
Can you not read you fucking retard? I'm not the one who wants to make a movie about it.

>>83920287
Theoretically, you can make a 40k film to get people into the franchise by using a backwater planet and recruiting people into the Imperial Guards.

However, the whole problem with 40k is that people want their faction in every media and Games Workshop has a hard on for Eldar, Space Marines and Tau.

Guess you could squint during the Iron Man 2 court scene and play pretend.

>used to replay parts of halo 1 if I lost any of the soldiers until I got them all home

Halo 2 was great as well, although I never played Halo 3. Never got an Xbox 360 until years after it came out and I'd lost interest in the franchise.

Reach was great as well though. Never played 4, got it for Christmas but turned it off at the end of the first level (assuming it was the end). Wasn't feeling it at all and then I get a big quick time event alert that read PRESS X TO KILL ELITE and I just tapped out.

>>used to replay parts of halo 1 if I lost any of the soldiers until I got them all home
I liked doing that too. My favorite thing about Halo for sure, those marines. I felt attached to them.

halo lore is just a mish mash of other scifi universes, they stole concepts from starcraft, warhammer 40k, etc. space marines, "swarm" race that kills all biological life, high tech ancient aliens, power armor, doomsday devices, themes of friendship and unity between different races, muh land stand of humanity trope, high tech ancient aliens are like the catholic church trope, le space battles, its just a bunch of cliches.

Halo was at its best in the first two missions when you still didnt really understand who the fuck the covenant were and what they were capable of. You cant understand their language, the one trope they subverted and it was actually better for it, then they ruin it by making all the aliens speak english in the next game.

Once you realize its just another space soap opera, it loses the charm it had. Same thing with the flood, the whole idea was done to death before halo ever touched it.

Yes. They're just youtubers, so it will take a few years.

Sure. I'd rather live in the Star Trek universe, but most of the Imperium is livable. I'd would take that chance.

Hollywood would without a doubt ruin a Halo adaptation.

The only conceivable way a Halo movie would work is if it focused on the Human-Covenant war (which ironically was much more interesting than the Halos and forerunners) and make the movie incredibly graphic and violent. (I want to see limbs being blown off by needlers and marines getting stuck by plasma grenades)

>Movie 1: Introduction to the Halo Universe, specifically the Human-Covenant war. Shows how humanity is getting its shit pushed in. Entire movie is the fall of some unnamed planet. Movie ends with spartans showing up and give covies a pyrrhic victory.

>Movie 2: Introduction to the Spartans. Entire movie is about the spartan program and all the questionable things the UNSC did in creating them. Main character is Franklin, not the Chief.

>Movie 3: Fall of Reach but told from the covies side. Huge emphasis of what Reach was and the gravity of the situation of it falling. Movie ends with Pillar of Autumn escaping. Ending scene is opening scene of Halo CE

Your idea of a good trilogy is three two hour exposition fests? What's the thematic arc? Who are the characters I'm supposed to root for?

I know people with your condition have difficulty grasping the concept of empathy, but audiences aren't going to emotionally invest themselves in a fictional war that involves people they don't care about.

>Whats the thematic arc? Who are the characters I'm supposed to root for?

Youre right, and thats the roadblock I've hit and I believe the main problem with adapting a Halo movie.

Who would be the main character?

I believe having master chief, a faceless super soldier as the main character is a mistake.

It works in the video game platform because you assume his role. But it wont translate well into a movie.

Main thematic arc I would like to go after is the dangers of religious zealotry, horros of war and genocide and what its like to be at the receiving end of it.

Do all trilogies have to have this?

What was the thematic arc of Alien?

Can you list me trilogies and they're respective thematic arcs?

Are there any trilogies that don't have one and are good?

I'm genuinely curious

>>83926236
Shit, I mean after Assault on the control room. The point is it was all downhill after that point.

Still, I really liked HALO 3 and ODST. New Mombasa was a great setting.

I still think Landfall was one of the greatest pieces of video game advertisements made. Still am pissed that M$ tossed that Blomkamp project they partially funded a while back. The BS Ridley Scott pulled off with that miniseries was insulting.
